For Dorothy’s bus was to leave Wilkes- '| Barre at 8 and we had to be up. Catherine was to go with her to see her off at Idlewild. I took Cathy to vote at seven while Dorothy took her mother to the bus depot to pick up the reservations. After voting, Cathy went with me to join Dorothy and her mother in Wilkes-Barre. To my surprise there was a crowd around Dottie. Rev. Leon Bouton, our District Superintendent, was on hand with his camera. Mrs. Bouton was among the women who turned out to be the Wilkes-Barre district executive committee of the W.S.C.S. They were, Mrs. B. Everett Lord, president, Mrs. Edgar Sutton, Mrs. Percy Berninger, Mrs. Willard Mer- riman, Miss Florence Austin, Mrs. Carl Hontz, Miss Pearl Averett, Mrs. Louise James. The ladies gave ‘Dorothy a chrysantheum corsage and wished her bon voyage. Dr. Bouton took several pictures. Mr. Frank Martz was also on hand and wished her a pleasant journey. From New York Catherine phoned us that some relatives and friends were there also ‘to give Dorothy a good send-off. The jet plane took off from Idlewild at seven in the evening and was expected to be in | Africa by seven the next evening. | By ‘this time everybody knows that Dorothy is a missionary nurse- midwife working under the Woman’s Division of Christian Serv- ice of the Methodist Church under assignment to work in the Republic of Congo. Her work this year will be teaching nursing and Public Health in the school at Kimpese near Leopoldville. We here at home were pleased Sunday night when Dorothy called up a former African student of hers who is in this country now studying at the Allen High School in Ash- ville, North Carolina. She knew no English when she arrived and has ! been homesick and lonesome for some time while trying to get ac- dion Last Tuesday was a big day. Just customed to American ways. When Dorothy got her on the phéne the girl was quite delighted to hear her own native tongue from this mis- sionary friend. To us it was a de- light to listen to Dorothy talking away in the Otetela tongue which is so musical that one hardly knows if the words are being sung. or just spoken. |We sensed how eager Dorothy was to get back to those whom she calls “her people”. As she wrote in closing a letter to some of her friends recently: “No, I am not afraid.” Our friends the Rev. and Mrs. Ralph Weatherly spent 12 days with their son Rev. Theodore Weatherly and family’ in Homestead, a suburb of Pittsburgh. He held a number of services for his son and had a thoroughly good time. They came home to vote. We went over to Dymond Hollow to supper the other night. Those people are so friendly that it is a pleasure to be among them. The pastor, Rev. Watson, has a deep, musical speaking voice to go along with his friendly ways. We met Mrs. Howard Willetts, widow of my for- mer colleague in the conference. Irene and her son Fred and wife we met, too. - Fred's wife was from Dy- mond Hollow. And Mildred Bell Eyett I hadn’t seen for years. Rus- sell Eyett to whom TI married her was from Dymond Hollow, now lives in East Dallas near the Martz farm. It was a pleasure to meet them. Mrs. Dan Dymond was busy around the kitchen; Mrs. Daven- port whom we knew years ago when she was a district officer in W.S.C.S. was in the bazaar booth. And others from around the coun- try. Incidentally the supper was very good too. : Our pastor, Rev. Reid, returned last Friday from taking part in the preaching mission in Langhorne near Philadelphia. The services were similar to those held in many cen- ters in our Conference during the same period. \ Protect your first thing next spring.

He began by quot- ing from Eugene O'Neil: “Man is born into the world broken; he sur- vives only by being mended, and the grace of God is the glue.” The Bible carries out this theme of the grace of God by which men live. Soon after Ruth and I were in our seat Sunday Audrey Earl whis- pered to Ruth: “Congratulations!” Ruth asked, “What about,” Then Audrey pointed to the note in the church bulletin: “At Mt. Zion the flowers are presented by Miss Cathe- rine Gilbert in honor of Rev. and Mrs. Charles Gilbert's 45th wedding anniversary’ . (Which is Nov. 14) Ruth and I were deeply moved by Catherine’s thoughtfulness in sur- prising us. Catherine, though not a profes- sional organist, played for ‘the church service last Sunday and for her | junior choir’s anthem which the boys and girls sang beautifully. Sandy Saunders, our regular organ- ist, has been having trouble from internal hemorrhaging of blood ves- sels in her hands. Nothing shows outwardly but she has considerable pain. We hope for her speedy re- covery. SUBSCRIBE TO THE POST e %* MORE MILEAGE Service. of a Lifetime. | Tunkhannock, Pa.
