W. Anderson SWEET VALLEY, Mrs. Thomas Sayre TRUCKSVILLE, Nelson Woolbert EAST DALLAS, Mrs. John Konsavage KUNKLE, Mrs, Clyde Hoyt MOUNT ZION Guess I better redeem myself, explain my negligence and promise to do better. Many people at Valley Crest and some at Mt. Zion said, “I just couldn't find the Mt. Zion column this week”. Well, it just wasn't there! Preoccupation with bothersome problems plus the disjointed time schedule due to Memorial Day weekend can be given as the ex- cuse. First of all T was trying to erect iron railings on our front ap- proach. Ruth has trouble negotiat- ing steps without something to hold to. She's been afraid IT would back off the steps when trying to help her, or that she would fall and pull me over too. She did that once way back when we lived at the Carverton parsonage. She became ill and I was trying to help her across the hall to you-know-where, she fainted and went down ker- thump with me down groaning. And right in front of “little” Cathy’s door. Cathy came out of a sound sleep to hear her parents fall and me groan. I'm not Ruth's great rock of stability to hold to! So I got two railings which could be in- stalled by any do-it-yourselfer. The | railing sections come straight. The picture shows a slight but clever youth with feet planted 24 inches | part on the bottom rail and he pushing his tiny weight down and ' think about it and get up courage to go at it again. Finally got both | newell posts set, but they still | wiggled. Ruth needed a rail that wouldn't wiggle under her grasp. | T wiggled but the rail must not. So | I made two braces of angle iron | and bolted them to the posts and | to wooden stakes set in the ground. | The railing then dida't shiver when | Ruth took hold. : | But there was still another rail- | ing to be set, one post to be holted | to the porch floor itself. But the | bottom post was to be bolted to [the new concrete block I had re- | cently set. Again trouble with the | drill. There must have been a dia- mond or quartz rock hid in the | concrete. Tt didn't want to: let the | drill through. Had to try more | holes. Twisted off another screw. | All this time I was thinking of the { whole project day and night. | protested: that she wasn’t worth all that trouble! I had to remind her | that in the winter there is ice and | the rest of us need railings to take { held of. Wells it's all done now | and Ruth nor anybody else has | shaken it loose. But all that time I couldn’t think | of anything to write’ nor how tc spell it to my typewilter. ELATION FOLLOWED BY DEPRESSION Last Friday afternoon my eye Ruth | | Dick Lewis had sold out his dairy | and gone to Ohio. More particulars | reveal that he spent three weeks | attending the Davey Tree Surgeon School and now is working out of Rochester, N. Y., for this werld- famous firm of tree surgeons. They | advertise in the New Yorker! And Dick is enjoying this work immense- ly. and would not at all object if | the Tree Doctors should send him | to various parts of the planet to see the world from some of the tropical tree tops! From hearing our Pastor Reid | and observing the type of his min- | istry among us I take him to be a | prophet. This is an office and a | type of voice every church should | have. In fact, a church that does | not’ have a prophet in its midst is truly a ‘“non-prophet organization’! PULPIT SUPPLY | © Parrish Street Church in Wilkes- | Barre asked if I would suvply its | pulpit on June 5, which I did. I | didn’t think I knew anybody. But {in the choir were Mrs. Donald Tre- mayne and daughter Linda who | knows Cathy, and has known her | for some years both in Y.W.C.A. | work and later in Omatorio singing. | Then Mrs. Thompson told me she {knew a very mice nurse at Valley Crest, a Mrs. Alice Davis. Of course I know Alice Davis and could agree with Mrs. Thompson that Alice is endwise, making the section $0. caught something around the pur-|a hard working woman and a love- slanting the way one would want | ple martin house that sent my |ly person. it up steps.

I found out from | him the mystery of who it used to | be who helped him get apples from | the country, in other words who | the nice strangers were whom we met up at the Triangle restaurant | at Osterhout a couple of weeks ago. They »were Dr. and Mrs. Robert Janjigian of ‘Wyoming, friends of the -Weatherlys. | Rev. Weatherly told me that son We | Ted has been now since June 1 | established in his new home in| Pittsburgh which is a commodius residence with wide lawn. He will be supplying pulpits' around the | area while doing his special calling | in the. deep inner city ministry which will be challenging him. His | problem now will be establishing some sort of communication and | conversation with many who would never look at a church. He will be trying to reach the hitherto un- reachable. Like God became Man in ‘Christ to meach earthy people who would never listen to heaven! Our best wishes go with him: DID YOU EVER SEE | SO MANY WORMS | Tiny green measuring worms drop silently out of the weeping willow | while I dart under the trailing ‘branches with my lawn mower. | Ever reaching for the inch that must be just beyond.. When I took off my work shirt upstairs ‘they | were all over the garment. When | Cathy went to church there they | | were, worms measuring the saints’ hats. Came from the altar flowers probably. They are like humans— always reaching beyond for some- thing more and never quite finding it. SERVICENTER AT THE “Y” Vacation Time Is Here! BUT...... DRIVE SAFELY Let us check your TIRES....
