THE POST, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 14, 1951
Know Your Neighbor
REV. CHARLES H. FRICK
Two folks of different denomin-
ations leaned their elbows on the
counter at the.Dallas Post one day
while waiting for a printing job to
be wrapped up, and started dis-
cussing this and that:
One of them said, “You know, if
a Bishop for the Back Mountain
were to be chosen, I'd bet on Rev-
erend Frick.” )
We pricked up our ears.
The second man agreed.
“Yes”, he said judicially, “he'd
get my vote too, He exemplifies
everything that is fine in the min-
istry.”
So here’s a Christmas wish for
the Bishop of the Back Mountain,
and a hope that he and his wife
will have many happy New Years
in the new parsonage at Huntsville,
When interviewed, Rev. Frick
said he was sorry that he could
not furnish a long list of letters
after his name. He added, rather
ruefully, that his Hiram College de-
gree, awarded in 1906, was a mod-
est sort of a degree, but that it had
§ | given him the foundation for his
life work, the establishment of
new churches.
Back Mountain folks who know
and love Rev. Frick for his kindly
humor and the twinkle in his eye
as well as for his never failing sym-
pathy and his wise counsel, would
endorse another degree for him,
that of LLD—Doctor of the Larger
Life.
That tall, spare man has never
had a chance to go soft and take
on weight.
He has been too busy.
He says now that he thinks he
has spread himself a bit too thin,
and that maybe he will cut down
his bee colony.
And he says it's all right with
him if he is never persuaded. to
judge another flower show. It's al-
ways his luck, he says, to share
honors as a judge with a couple of
women who are well up on the
rules, while he enjoys free-lancing
it a bit. A lovely flower to Rev.
Frick is a lovely flower, whether
it has all the characteristics of a
prize-winner or not, estimated
solely on points.
Bees don’t take too much atten-
tion, but it all adds up. Bees, he
says, are pretty sensible, but easily
frustrated. They don’t like to be
caught in a trap, so Rev. Frick
wears something over his hair, and
rolls his sleeves high and tight. A
bee that finds itself imprisoned by
hair or sleeves will sting its way
out.
Rev. and Mrs, Frick embark on
a cooperative business tour each
September and October, covering
schools and colleges over a wide
area in the interests of the Crow-
ell-Collier Publishing Company, and
returning to Huntsville only over
the weekends.
In the midst of Friday's swirl-
ing snow, Rev. Frick pointed to
the tower with its newly installed
loud speaker system, Huntsville
Christian Church wired for sound.
“Lucky we got that set up yes-
terday’’, he said, “Nobody could
keep footing on that roof today.”
Cracked ribs and all, (Rev. Frick
took a ‘header a few weeks ago in
that most domestic of spots,
the loud speaker in
the Christmas carol
broadcast, which will be heard for
the first time from Huntsville
Church on Sunday.
The ribs; now nearly healed; have
slowed him down a bit, perhaps,
ing install
time for
brush from the slope beneath the
nursery rows at Pikes Creek,
beautifying the grounds
the house and the church.
mering
the subject
to the order of the government
that seedlings be set out hit or
miss instead of in nursery rows,
nursery rows are far more prac-
tical until a tree reaches a :size
trees, he says, which cost more per
thousand, but are worth it are
more practical to buy from the
government than seedlings, able to
stand on their’ own feet almost
from the first, and soon crowding
out the weeds.

family bath-tub) he has been help-{
years switched from stills to mov-
ing pictures.
For eight years he was president
of the West Side Garden Club, still
retains membership.
He's interested in music, too. It
was young Charles Frick who or-
ganized the first orchestra at Hir-
am, working from a foundation of
six lessons on the guitar. He hopes
to have good music broadcast from
the belfry, not just on Sundays,
but on warm evenings during the
summer when folks are sitting out-
doors, The tower, high above the
surrounding countryside, is advan-
| tageously placed, Rev. Frick says,
to broadcast for a long distance.
A brief survey shows him as a
young graduate embarking upon
his career as Organizing Secretary
of the Northwestern Pennsylvania
Missionary Society by establishing
three churches . during the first
three years, one in Brownville, one
in Butler, and one in Phillipsburg.
The church in the Firwood sec-
tion of Wilkes-Barre, on Carey Av-
enue and Horton Street came
next, and® here Rev. Frick served
for some years until entry of the
United States into World War I
He was chaplain of the 310th Ar-
tillery, and later the 313th in
France, seeing the first five bodies
buried in the famous Argonne Ce-
metery.
After the Armistice, and now
president of the Missionary Society,
he founded the Wyoming Avenue
Christian Church and served as
pastor for twenty-two years, until
Pearl Harbor precipitated mobili-
zation of the 109th of which he had
been chaplain since returning to ci-
vilian life.
A flashback to Newark, Dela-
ware, seventy-four years ago, shows
a son, Charles, born to Rev. and
Mrs. M. C. Frick.
Bessie Hale Jackson, Toledo,
Ohio, crossed his path in college.
They were married, and have four
children, Paul, Earl, Jack, and He-
len. Helen is now Mrs. Gordon Wol-
verton, and lives on, the Pikes
Creek Farm.
Rev. Frick resigned from the
pastorate of Huntsville Christian
Church at the beginning of World
War II, at the same time he re-
from Wyoming Avenue
Christian Church; but in the case
of Huntsville, the resignation didn’t
take. It was never accepted.
So after a brief term as Chap-
lain of the 109th at Indiantown
Gap, with the rank of Colonel, with
retirement for age following close
upon mobilization, and a six-year
pastorate at Mount Rainier, near
Washington, Huntsville once more
had its pastor.
