y THAT PICTURE —
It has been growing on me, that
painting in the pulpit alcove of Mt.
Zion church, Indirect lighting with
neither glare nor shadows brings
out the detail. k
It is a copy of Hofman’s Christ
in Gethsemane. [Painted on deep
purple velvet the colors are rich
and soft. The halo around the
head seems to belong there, not a
mere artifice to suggest special
holiness.
‘Here is the way this painting
came to be in the Mt. Zion church.
Qur younger set should know
where it came from and the older
ones must not forget. It was pre-
sented to Mt. Zion church by Dr.
Edward M. Holmes in memory of
his father Wheeler H. Holmes in
1957. Dr. Holmes was bom in the
house that once stood ‘on the site
Be of the former Howard Lewis house.
~ He was a practising dentist for a
number of years in Pittston and
lived neighbor to Allan Smiles in
West Pittston.
Like many of our fine young
people of today Dr. Holmes while
growing up developed a fondness
for this Mt. Zion church. After
being away from here for a num-
“ber of years he yearned to do
something special in memory of
his father. When on a world tour
Dr. Holmes got acquainted with an
artist by name of Gonzales — “F.
Gonzales 56” which is faintly seen
in the lower corner of the painting.
When in New York Dr. Holmes pur-
chased the picture. He had been
impressed not only by the art piece
itself but by the fact that it was
done on velvet, an unusual material
for such work.
~~ There are many copies of the
Hofman “Jesus in Gethsemane” for
it seems to be a favorite for Sunday
School and other ecclesiastical use.
One art book on my shelves has a
print of it and this to say about it!
“In the agony in the Garden of
Gethsemane here depicted by Hof-
man, the physical man shrinks from
the pain that he knows is about to
be inflicted upon him — the whip-
ping, the buffeting, the crown of
thorns, the crucifixion and the
cruel thrusts of the spear.” But
not a speck of that agony shows in
the print. I haven't seen it in
many reproductions. But some
years ago I visited Riverside Church
in New York and Hofman's original
Gethsemane picture was being dis-
played. The unspeakable pain
clearly evident in that work of the
artist grooved itself in my memory.
The gospel story tersely tells it and
Hofman had the lines in the face—
it was all there and I had not seen
it in any copy,
Now F. Gonzales — whoever he
was — put it in paint on the vel-
vet. Look at it the next time you
come to Mt. Zon church, and do
come! Read the story for instance
in Luke 22:39-46 and study those
facial lines.
Thursday brought a new
field of work for me, I began as
chaplain of Valley Crest Home, Lu-
zerne County's new building re-
cently opened. Since most of the
Luzerne County patients formerly
at Ransom were transferred now ‘to
Valley Crest there was no point in
the Wyoming Valley Council of
Churches sponsoring my chaplaincy
at Ransom any longer. In order
for my greatest efficiency at the
new Valley Crest it was felt that I
should no longer continue as chap-
lain at Pittston Hospital.
It was a great day for a new be-
ginning. Valley Crest has an office
provided for the chaplain fully
equipped with all conveniences for
chaplains of three faiths. A com-
plete rotary file of all the patients
with their religious affiliations is

on the chaplain’s desk,
On that first day I found'39 Prot-
estant patients, 23 were women, 16
were men. I managed to visit each
one of them on that first day. The
nurses and attendants were friend-
ly and cooperative in helping me
get adjusted to the new situation
and made it easy for me to find
the ones on my list. Several of my
friends from [Ransom were there
and quite surprised to see me, for
they did not know I was to be at
Valley Crest. [Perhaps because of
this former acquaintance I could
help them adjust to their new sur-
roundings.
Last week Tuesday night Nes-
bitt’s Golden Anniversary we were
invited to attend -the 50th anni-
versary- of Nesbitt Memorial Hos-
pital School of Nursing, The three
doctors now remaining of the
original staff were Dr. J. W. Kirsh-
ner, Dr, V. P, Edwards and Dr. C.
L. Shafer. Their families conceived
a surprise way of honoring them
for their service by selecting 3
nurses of outstanding record to be
presented a check for $50. When
the three doctors had been called
to the platform Mrs, Lashford an-
nounced that the family of Dr.
Kirshner was presenting such a
check to Miss Eva Wesley for her
27 consecutive years on the Nes-
bitt, nursing staff; the family of Dr.
V. P. Edwards had a check for Mrs.
Lucy Hessley Shoemaker for being
Nesbitt’s oldest alumni, She is
doing outstanding work in her home
with retarded children. The third
check by Dr. Shafer’s family was
presented to Dorothy Gilbert (her
father being present to accept it on
her behalf) for the fact that she
was the first Nesbitt graduate to go
into full - time Christian service.
Dorothy's schedule of studies is so
demanding just now that she was
not able to attend this signal event.
It was nice to see many people
we know at that event, including
student nurses Phyllis Seiple, San-
a Smith from Mt. Zion, and
ancy Davis who

Saturday night I strayed back to
my last parish to perform the mar-
riage of Helen (Punkie) G. Miller of
Pittston and Joseph P. Ludgate Jr.
of Scranton in the First Methodist
Church of Broad Street. The pastor
of the church, the Rev. Thomas Wil-
liams, was touring Puerto Rico so
could not be present to officiate.
Paul Smith returned home from
Pittston Hospital where he spent
some time following injuries re-
ceived falling from a cinder truck.
My wife who has seen her preacher
husband ease himself up from the
pulpit chair many a time with a
kink in his back, noticed our preach-
er do the same cautious movement
last Sunday morning. Pastor Reid
wants no sympathy, never com-
plains; but did confess to his lay
leader when asked how he felt,
“Miserable”. My doctor up in New
York state who advocated to sleep
on a board said it probably was one
penalty coming to the sons of men
since they dropped down from the
trees and began trying to stand on
their hind legs. Wow! What one
of my Fundamentalist church mem-
bers thought of that! Well, anyway,
our preacher gave a whale of a
sermon last Sunday morning. Maybe
more preachers should have back
catches!

had to visit Puerto Rico and ather

Speaking of service men, there's
one whom Carverton people will
always remember for his jolly ways,
and for his cheerful mother—that’s
Forrest Costine. We had a délight-
ful, chatty letter from him early this
month. This was written “at sea”.
Says in part: “Here in Japan we
have just started the Year of the
Tiger—and the Japanese custom is
that everyone spends the first few
days of the New Year calling on all
of his friends. Since I don’t have
any old friends here, I feel the very
least I can do is sit down and tap
out a few lines’, .. What pleasant
memories I have of our Carverton
days . . . At present I am on the new
guided missile cruiser USS OKLA-
HOMA CITY with Vice Admiral W.
A. Schoech the Commander of the
Seventh Fleet. I have been on his
staff since September and do man-
age to get around a great deal. In
three short months, I was hopping
around to such places as Korea,
Okinawa, Taipei, Manila, Hong Kong
but always back to our homeport in
Yokosuka Japan—about 35 miles
from Tokyo. Have also visited Nag-
asaki where little remains but the
horrible memories of the A-bomb
drop during the war. The city has
a tremendous comeback and no one
could imagine that 16 years ago it
was completely in ruin. Within the
next two months I will have visited
Hiroshima too.
Mom keeps very well and is happy
in her little California home with
her dachshund, Shotsey. She is
about a mile from Dave, Irene and
family and does enjoy being near
them ... We certainly enjoyed the
Scobles’ brief visit last summer!!
Forrest was always one of “our
boys” when we lived at Carverton.
Last Sunday afternoon Karen
Hronich and Nadine VanTuyle went
to Valley Crest Home and sang two
duets for the patients. Catherine
Gilbert played the organ for the
service, Leon VanTuyle took the
girls in his car. Mary Louise Lewis
rode with us to the home.” All of
these who went helped wheel pa-
tients from the wards to the audito-
rium and were enthusiastic about
the experience and eager to go
again.
Bert Coon of Carverton visited our
house Sunday afternoon and we had
a good time.

After-Skating Supper
Mr. and Mrs. Robert K. Lewis,

evening. Those present were: Mr.

dogs were roasted in the fireplace
and hot chocolate and coffee were
plentiful.

eration settle down faster than a
still younger generation showing
