Enroute home they visited Mr. and Mrs. James Van Landingham in their new home at 350 Hamlin Avenue, Satellite Beach, Fla. Mrs. Van Lan- dingham is’ the former Gwen Weaver. Mr. and Mrs. Steven Schwarz and daughters, Erica and Joan, have returned from a visit with Mr. Schwarz’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Joel Schwarz of Maplewood, N.J. On March 17 the Schwarz family attended ceremonies at the University of Chicago where Mrs. Schwarz’s brother, William Aron, received his Ph. D. in social psychology. Young Joan Schwarz will celebrate her eighth birthday with a party at her home. Since Joan wanted something really different for her party, she has asked Karen Aqua to entertain the group with guitar music and group singing. In view of the fact that ‘Old Man Winter’’ has been hanging around our door just a little longer + than usual, the Hogoboom family decided to try a spring vacation this year. California seemed to be the hottest. place on the weather map and so we made Disneyland our first stop. What thousands of other people have said about it is true. It is a fabulous, fun-filled amusement center. We also spent one day at Sea World in San Diego where we were spellbound by the antics of such performers as Shamu, a killer whale, high- jumping dolphins and roller- skating penguins. Our sons, Dave and Jack, thought the high point of the whole trip was the two hours they spent risking their necks on rented motor bikes at Sad- dleback Park. Afterall when they view the motocross races held there on Wide World of Sports, they can make my hair a little grayer by saying, ‘‘you should have seen what we did.” Qur final fling was a few days of soaking up the sun in 80-degree temperatures at Palm Springs. But it all seemed like a dream when we came off the exit ramp of the N.E. extension of the turnpike in a blinding snow storm Easter night. We sure do hope that young Wayne Perschau, a first grade student at Lake-Lehman, has recovered from the chicken-pox by now. We are also happy to note that Mrs. Jack Littleford of Chase Manor has returned from Geisinger Hospital. Seems as though the sheep farm on Sutton Road is a popular place. Every year about this time groups of young nursery and kindergarten students enjoy watching Marvin Scott demonstrate the art of sheep shearing. There is hardly a child around who has not fallen in love with adorable baby lambs.

R.D. 2, Box 89-G, Forkston, : Mehoopany, Pa. 18629 | Page 15 by the Rev. Charles H. Gilbert 1 was hunting through boxes and stuff to find something I didn’t find, and then I ran across some gems of wisdom which I sometimes think I was gifted—long ago, back when my hair was thick and brown! One piece of writing was entitled “A Psalm of Trust in an Unrationed God” and significantly is dated February 1942. “I said unto my soul, Soul, praise thou thy Lord, thy maker, That thou even now hast life, For thou art living in mighty days, Yea, in tremendous days of history-making importance. Now, O my soul, thou hast a chance to prove thy faith; Yea, as Abraham'’s faith was proved, and the faith of the saints.” Those were the days when rubber tires and nearly all things else were rationed. You had to be on some priority list to get’ what you thought you needed. And I got quite religious over it and thought I was David playing on his harp! In the Bible I read ‘the Lord giveth not his Spirit by measure.” And I meditated: “Yea, and the Lord cared for Elijah long before Men lived on rubber tires, and shall he not care for you?” Shall I not trust in God Even though sugar and can- rubbers be denied me? Shall not the sweetness of the Lord far exceed The sweetness of twelve ounces of sugar a week?” Dr. Crayton Is Guest Preacher Worship Services at Trucksville United Methodist Church will be held at 9:30 and 10:50 a.m. Guest preacher at both services will be the Rev.

June Reunion for Dallas class of '42 A meeting was held Saturday evening at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Warren Stanton to make plans for the 30th anniversary of the 1942 graduating class of the then Dallas Township High School. Plans were made for the affair to be held at the Castle Inn June 10. Cocktails will be served beginning at 6 and a family style dinner at 7 p.m. Reservations must be in to Marilla Stanton, 675-0120, by May 15. Also serving on the committee are Mr. and Mrs. Henry Kraft, Ruth Young and LeRoy Roberts. And so on and on, much more to it than that. And I found a great deal of satisfaction in writing out the way I felt rather than in taking it out on vituper- ations and bitter fault-finding with men who had to administer government orders. Again I found I needed about $1000 to get my daughter off to college. It came to me that if I could get something published I might thus do my part to get that money. About that time an announcement was made of a prize contest for book manuscripts. There was a subject I had long wanted to write about regarding the gospel of John. Here was a chance to try it. The manuscript had to be book-length of about 50,000 words. I was not sure I had the nerve to do even the physical work of all that typing, but here was a chance to find out if I could. It doesn’t take long to tell that I chose the title The Eternal Word under which to develop a certain idea I had about the fourth gospel. Fifty thousand and rewritten until it looked fit to send away. Nothing ever came of it excepting one ob- servation. I sent it to a man who at that time was quite an expert on John’s Gospel, a real scholar. I should have known better! But I sent it to him for his criticism. I got it. He used some magnificent astronomical words to describe how far off I was. ‘“‘You are celestial diameters away from John’s meaning!”’ Well that is that, but those words of criticism I thought were quite rich in fluency—even though I did not agree with him. But if I didn’t want a frank opion I shouldn’t have sent it to him and asked for it! I wonder how many writers write for the purpose of cleansing their own souls of error! Back in those days I had an exalted opinion of my place in the ministry. Around Con- ference time I looked for some appointment that would give me some kind of status symbol in my profession. I do not think I am the only cleric who thought he ought to be pastor of a large city church! But I did have to do some overcoming of my per- sonal sense of inferiority. Again I turned to writing. For instance 1 went over all the things that being a country minister had contributed to my total life and wrote it up in a manuscript entitled, ‘It Happened to Me in the Coun- try.”” And the resulting tabula- tion of benefits from being in a country ministry were im- pressive. If I should list the chapter headings of that book manuscript I think you would agree with me that my life as a too disastrous. Well, I wish I could have found what I was looking for among the boxes of things. But it was sort of fun finding these burblings. of my typewriter which I had not looked over within the last 10 years. My hair which used to be rich brown has long since been swept up from barber shop floors, and my typewriter makes mistakes much more easily that it used to. But it is still fun to write what I happen to feel, even if only in my diary. But some- times to this column before you. Luzerne-Dallas Hwy Call 288-5124 Rental prices available. a
