My Typewriter Talks
by THE REV.
CHARLES H. GILBERT
by The Rev. Charles H. Gilbert
The beginning of April called
for more meetings to attend
than I am in the habit of attend-
ing since I retired. Not that I
was required by law of the
church to attend.
Friday night at First
Presbyterian in Wilkes-Barre
was the final organ recital of a
series, most of which Catherine
and 1 did attend. This was a
special because we remember
the performer Mr. Edwin Clark
from about 30 years ago when
we knew him at Carverton
where he lived. There were oc-
casions when he played on our
organ and also he gave organ
lessons to Henrietta Bodle and
to Dorothy Gilbert. On those oc-
casions I sometimes operated
the lever that pumped the
organ. He was and is a most
gracious person to know, with a
smile that 30 years has not worn
away. At the recital I forgot to
tell him what people always do
tell a guest organist, that I en-
joyed his recital. But I was too
busy recalling the days when we
knew him at Carverton and
telling him what Dorothy was
doing now, for he remembered
her and wondered about her.
One number of his program
that I liked especially was St.
Francis Preaching to the Birds.
The way it began I thought it
should have been titled The
Birds singing for St. Francis!
But later in the piece it was
clear that we were hearing the
sermon ‘by St. Francis. The
voices of the birds began up in
the higher frequencies of sound
and I think a few notes I did not
hear at all. Those that did come
through to me were high and
light and lovely. I think St.
Francis was telling them thank
you for their songs and that
their heavenly Father enjoyed
them too.
Harveys Lake
Rod and Gun Club
/ The regular monthly meeting.
of the Harveys Lake Rod & Gun
Club was held at the clubhouse
recently with 90 members
present.
Four prospective members
names were presented: Leo
Milbrodt, John E. Masloski;
Robert K. Mathers and William
Sims. :
Ed Manhart, waterways
patrolman, noted that the Fish
Commission has been having
problems with their stocking
program because of the snow
this year.
The annual fish pole event
was held with winners as
follows: Allen Wents, John P.
Haver and John Corbett.
Following the meeting a
movie, ‘Newfoundland Trophy
Trip.” was shown and refresh-
ments were served.

St. Andrews
observes Easter
Easter will be observed by the
congregation of St. Andrew’s
Eastern Orthodox Church of
Dallas, according to the Julian
calendar, April 26.
The Rev. Father Elias Kre-
nitsky, pastor, has scheduled
the following services: Holy
Thursday at 6 p.m., the Passion
of Our Lord and the reading of
the 12 Gospels; Good Friday, 3
p.m., the burial service with
vespers; Holy Saturday, mid-
‘ night services begin at 11:30
p.m. with Resurrection Matins
followed by Divine Liturgy and
ending with the blessing of the
paschal food baskets.
For those desiring to receive
holy communion during the
Divine Liturgy, confessions will
be heard before 11:30 p.m.
The summer schedule begins
May 3. Divine Liturgy will be
celebrated at 9 a.m. each
Sunday until Oct. 18.
Then Monday morning the
regular monthly meeting of the
Wilkes-Barre District Metho-
dist ministers was convened at
Wyoming Seminary. Catherine
has been going with me to these
meetings in place of the minis-
ter's wife. It had been years
since my late wife Ruth was
able to go and I got so I did not
care to go without her. Now
Catherine goes and enjoys
meeting with the ministers’
wives and doing what they do.
The theme which was pertin-
ent to the ministers was having
to do with explaining why
- churches had to have apportion-
ments, benevolences and so on.
I remember how many laymen
used to be concerned with this
“load” and often wondered why
they had to pay them. For many
years it has been my feeling
that ‘missions is people’, for I
had two or three cousins who
were missionaries and later I
had, and still have a daughter
since 1952 who is part of this a-
portionment expense to the
churches. I know how grateful
the people are to whom she min-
isters as a missionary. Missions
is people! The subject of appor-
tionments just did not fascinate
me very much and the meeting
to me was boring.
But it was nice to meet and
mingle with all these ‘‘boys”
who are doing the work!
Then came a different kind of
meeting that I was under no ob-
ligation to attend but there have
been few of these annual affairs
that I have missed since they
began about 27 years ago. I re-
fer to the annual clergy institute
sponsored by Temple B’nai
B’rith now of Kingston. It used
to be in Wilkes-Barre until
about 11 years ago when the
present beautiful temple was
built not far from Nesbitt Hospi-
tal. This time Catherine was
with me too.
The new spiritual leader is
Rabbi Arnold M. Shevlin. The
guest rabbi was delayed in his
arrival by air travel troubles.
So the tempie Rabbi began
giving a lecture all by himself.
It was so wonderful in content
and his voice was clear and
enunciation so good that to my
ears it was a delight to hear.
He began by telling us there is
no clear definition of what a Jew
is. And mostly he told what a
Jew is not: not a religion; (for
there are atheistic Jews), not a
nation, nor a race. He quoted a
verse from Deuteronomy which
comes as near describing a Jew
as any: chapter 14:2 “The Lord
hath chosen thee to be a pecu-
liar people unto himself, above
all the nations that are upon the
face of the earth.” The Jewish
religion has no creed other than
that—‘‘Hear, O Israel: the Lord
our God the Lord is One.”
The purpose of the Jewish law
lies in the training it gives him
to say ‘‘no!’’ He has many rules
governing the details of his life
which he learns from child-
hood. He learns to take a posi-
tive stand regarding every situ- .
ation. He can say ‘no’ while
others are saying ‘yes’. Yet
the Jew who has strict rules to
govern his own life does not
insist that these rules apply to
other people. He feels that
others may have perfectly valid
rules to govern themselves.
Because of the rich heritage I
feel has been handed on to me
through the Old Testament and
which is entwined all through
our New Testament I could
never side in with those who are
always blaming everything on
“the Jews’!
In my Bible study I have
Found one book that keeps me
amazed at its value. It belonged
to my grandfather Gilbert who
was a Presbyterian minister.
He used it in his studies. My
father was not a minister but
was a Bible student and used
this same leather-bound
volume. Other members of our
family made use of this Concor-
dance by Alexander Cruden.
And it has been on my shelves
actively during my life and
ministry. The covers are get-
ting loose. It has to be handled
carefully now. For this book is
132 years old! But it was in this
old volume that I found the jus-
tification for a certain transla-
tion of a verse in the Book of
Psalms which is in this newest
translation of the Bible called
The New English Bible. This is
probably a mere coincidence
because 1 doubt if the transla-
tors of the Bible into the newest
English style would have con-
sulted such an ancient concor-
darice!
Well the skunk cabbages are
poking their pretty heads up
through the mud of the swamps.
They deserve prettier names
than skunk cabbages! Crocuses
are up and daffodils. The mer-
cury is not up very high in the
thermometer yet but time is
moving in that direction.
