Africa Comes Home
This typewriter has had time
to get used to a whole new voca-
bulary and angle of reference.
For I have told Dorothy of
course to use my typewriter and
my desk where it sits always
waiting for some skilled words
to be sounded out on its keys.
Last Sunday—I mean Sept.
13—Dorothy was expecting to
meet over on the highway a
young visitor and his young wife
and conduct them to our house
and church. The young man had
been in Congo for a short term
mission, where he had done ex-
cellent work and maintained a
fine Christian spirit. So Dorothy
was glad to see him and his wife
of two months. She had not re-
turned with these visitors when
time came for us to go to
church. Mt. Zion church,
Catherine’s adorable childrens’
choir was to sing a special num- .
ber so we had to get there on
time, hoping Dorothy and
guests would make it before
church had been long in pro-
gress.
The Africa Anthem
‘So church began and the ser-
rice went on towards the time
for the anthem. Catherine was
sitting next to the front seat
where she could sort-of direct
the choir when they needed it.
The congregation had just
stood to sing the offertory re-
sponse and down the aisle came
Dottie and her guests. They
went to Cathy’s beckoning to the
very front seat ahead of
Catherine and close to the
choir!
The choir stood to sing lovely
"and expressive anthem with a
rhythmic tinkling as of bells.
Dorothy was sure to enjoy this,
for the music was written by an
African and the words had been
translated from the Otetela
language into English by
Dorothy herself. veryone
knew that the choir no. only had
been well trained in this singing
and rhythmic accompaniment,
but we all recognized how well
these singing children had done
this number’ ‘Peggy Thomas
told Cathy that the children,
whenever they go for a ride in
the car, are always breaking
into song along the way.
Our guests also thoroughly
enjoyed the program.
And we enjoyed these lovely
guests and saw them on their
way, giving them a safe conduct
convoy to Route 81 on which
they would continue their
journey.

Catherine and Dorothy
Present Program
Monday was the first fall
meeting of the Wilkes-Barre
District Ministers and Wives
Association at First United
Methodist Church in Wilkes-
Barre. Catherine had been
asked to provide a program of
devotions for the wives’ meet-
ing. There had been a speaker
dated to give a program on
Africa, but at a late date the
speaker phoned to say she was
to be in Texas and could not be
here.
So the one in charge asked
Catherine if she and her father
could provide a program about
Africa. Catherine replied that
we could but asked her how it
would be if Dorothy herself
were able to provide it. Which of
course was acceptable! So I sat
in—not unwillingly!—at the
wives’ meeting instead of going
into the ministers’ meeting.
Catherine had prepared a se-
lection of beautiful slides with a
spiritual connotation of excel-
lent applied thoughts. On the
side I want to say I was person-
ally deeply moved by the de-
voutly beautiful worship experi-
ence. This was followed by
slides and a talk by Dorothy
about her work in Congo which
was well-received by the
women who also asked many
questions which Dorothy an-
swered in clear and under-
standable fashion.
In passing I was not surprised
to find that several of the
women want to date Catherine
and program for some of their
church meetings—which Cath-
erine of course was willing to
do.
Dorothy’s speaking program
will not commence until No-
vember.
Meanwhile Surgery
After being checked over by
the mission board doctor on her
return from the Congo, it was
advised that this missionary
should have surgery very soon,
not so much as an emergency
measure but so as to get it taken
care of and have time for recu-
peration before speaking en-
gagements come on and so as to
be in good condition to return to
Congo after Christmas.
So at this writing Dorothy is in
(to you, WAS in!) surgery and I
await word of her progress. I
expect it will all be good, for she
has told doctors before now, ‘I
always heal quickly!” So when
the doctors told her she would
be a week or two weeks re-
covering, She declared, “I will
be ONE week!”
My Own Recovery
Of course I don’t get over
tury of age than Dorothy is! At
this writing, however, I have
shouted to my friends as Cathy
has wheeled me around those
long halls at Valley Crest, “I
morning; And look! I'm using
only ONE cane!” At which all
are glad.
1 think my friends there do not
feel too badly to have Cathy
wheel me around just so long as
I am there! And besides, they
get duets from the red hymn
book, not just solos. All my
friends, patients and staff,
sweepers and moppers, dining
room people and all are, as
always just wonderful to me—
and us. I go there to bless them,
and lo! I get the blessing!
