ZION, Rev. Zharles Gilbert 388-7261 ® KUNKLE, Mrs. Clyde Hoyt 675-2971 MOUNT ZION It was last week Wednesday that at Pastor Reid’s request, I took charge of the funeral of Mrs. An- drew Patrick of Carverton. Because she was born in Washington Town- ship up where flats down near Me- hoopany are called Carney Flats (and she was known to me back when 1 was her pastor at Russell Hill as “Sue Carney’) her funeral was held in Tunkhannock. Vestal. I pen, Lawton ete. to planned to come to the Endicott Methodist Church, the seat of Wyo- ming Conference, by way of the new McKinley Avenue Bridge but lost my way and went to Bingham- ton instead. That was all right for I had an invitation from my brother Don to be his guest during Conference. He wrote, “Thinking about your visit reminded me we used to go to the station and meet a train when any of our relatives visited us. Times have changed!” In another sense times had not changed, for he seemed as glad to meet me at his door as I was to unload there and both of us enjoyed ourselves. Truth is, I staid with him some of the time instead of taking in all Conference sessions. But that whole section of country has been so roaded and clover-leaved and exit- ted, right-laned and left-laned, ur- ban-renewaled that my old home town is a strange section to me. CONFERENCE ACTION By this time all will know about the removal of our District Super- intendent J, Rolland Crompton to the like position in the Bingham- ton District. Also the coming of the Rev. Roswell Lyon from the Sarah Jane Johnson church to the suverintendentcy of Wilkes-Barre District. Dr. Lyon is no stranger to the Back Mountain, having been at one time pastor of the Shaver- town Methodist Church and also a former superintendent of this dis- trict. I will welcome him at the same time I regretfully see Dr. Crompton leave our district for Binghamton. And the last 1 knew our own pastor is to remain with us. At Conference I struck up an acquaintance with John Henninger of the Dallas church — about birds! And a conversation with our friends Mr. and Mrs. Zel Goeringer whom we have known for some time — and liked! There are some resem- blances between a Methodist Con- ference and the Back Mountain Library Auction: the people we meet are often the same. Friendly folks. ABOUT POETRY One Back Mountain friend had From | there I went on by way to Meshop- the | from. Mrs. Hicks referred her to me as one who might know. (That's a dangerous thing to do!) It just happened. that the lines about “Speak to Him, thou, for He hears’ etc. ‘are among favorite limes from Tennyson. In order to be sure, I looked up the poem in Tennyson titled ‘The Higher Pantheism” to write her about. In the course of leafing through my volume I ran across one of Tennyson's “Early Sonnets” which I don’t remember ever seeing before — and wished | it were familiar to me. So I have { underlined the part which begins— “Mine be the strength of spirit, full | and free, Like some broad river | rushing down alone . ... — ”. Think Tll try to memorize that. TUFFY’S BIRTHDAY Last Sunday was our dog Tuffy's | fifth birthday. Along the road on | his and Catherine's walk they ran| | across neighbor Howard Krum who | ' recently had his third bithday,| | Catherine told Howard that this] was. Tuffy’'s birthday. ‘Did Tuffy | | have a birthday cake with candles lon it?" “No,” said Catherine, | ' “Birthday cakes aren't good for | Taffys, just for little boys.” (That | reply was not Tuffy’s idea at aly ! Said Howard, “When I had a birth- | day my momie gave me a birthday | cake with candles!” EATING. OUT | We did go out for dinner — and | put some meat scraps into a waxed | bag for Tuffy to have after dinner. | We <at next table to a nice looking couple of the retirement time of life, We didn't know them. When they rose to go the gentleman turned to apologize for bumping Cathy's chair a bit, and then turned to me with, “Are you a minister?" (Must be that long faced look of mine!) I said I was. He asked if 1 were Baptist and I said I was Meth- odist. Then he asked where mv church was. I said I was retired. Said he, “You don’t look old enough for that!” To which I replied, “You know how to say just the nicest things. You must be Ebis- copalian”. Both of them admitted it. We asked if they knew Rev. Weatherly. And the lady said she used to go to Grace Church. The; man said he goes to Rev. Russell's | church in West Pittston. She said, “You can tell Mr. Weatherly that vou saw the lady who used to show him where to get apples on Sun- day!’ ‘Tl have to ask Ralph about | that. | | VALLEY CREST It did my soul good to hear my pastor, Rev. William Reid, give a paper at the opening of the Thurs- day morning session of the recent Methodist Conference. He was said in part: “We (Methodists) | sometimes seem to think that ie | are here, not to serve the world with all of its legitimate needs, but, : rather, to serve Methodists and the | middle-class clientele who may per- | chance be attracted to our chur- ches. We are not here just for ourselves and for those who are like | us. Christ came to serve, not just | Methodists or Protestants or Chris- | tians or good people, but all men, no matter how wretched they may | seem; and we, ministering in His name, can do no less. Let us con- sider this example: Many of you are familiar with Valley Crest, the new and beautiful Luzerne County home for ‘the indigent infirm. With all that it has ‘to offer, one still hears it compared rather unfavorably at times with our own homes for the aged, particularly in relation to the | atmosphere of the homes . . . And if, the atmosphere is not what it should be in places such as Valley Crest (although I am not sure that I agree with this charge), the Ser- vant ‘Church’ should also seek to minister to this need.” Fact is, we at Valley Crest both staff and guests make the atmos- phere of the Home. We are to- gether a cross-section of our county population. Some people inside and outside of the Home can swear like everything. Others who like a more refined atmosphere rebuke their fellows. Sometimes by saying, ‘Here comes the chaplain!” While on the subject of Valley Crest I understand that our head painter, Gerald Broadt, ran for the nomination on the Republican ticket for Congressman — and won. 1 have liked “Jerry” not only for | his superb painting skill in his work | for the County but also for his] interest in the patients. He spoke | to me especially about one of the] patients whom he knows and sug- | gested something of her character and needs with which I could help. I appreciated that. Valley Crest is worthy of the best skills available whether in painting or doctoring or floor clean- ing or cooking or superintending. T am happy to be a part of the outfit. LOCAL ITEMS Report has it that Ann Bell is in the hospital. Also that Mrs. Ben Daniels was in. And that there are mumps around. And that Dick Lewis has sold out his cows and gone to Ohio. And that a pair of robins after raising a family of} speckled children in the fir tree in front cf our house have built a new | nest (they or some other pair) on top of our porch post right near where Cathy comes and goes to her | end-of-the-porch greenhouse.
