by Rev. Charles H. Gilbert
The bottom shelf of Cather-
ine’s overflowing music shelves
holds an ancient volume of
many pieces of music bound in
this one bulky work too thick, I
am sure, ever to sit up on a
music rack and look the
musician in the eye! On the fly-
leaf in grandmother’s hand is
her name ‘‘Catherine E. Gil-
bert, Peru, Jan. 1871’. My
goodness! That means that this
collection of piano numbers is
102 years old. Grandmother
doubtless treasured this collec-
tion of what were probably trea-
sures to her. When I was very
young Grandma could still see
to read music on the piano rack.
Like her knitting, I think her
memory saved her from too
close confinement to the text in
front of her. By the time I was
on the scene as an appreccative
listener, this music had been
well rehearsed for her own
pleasure.
The piece I liked best was the
one with the picture on its cover
of a rustic shepherd and his
large and competent dog to-
gether sitting on a rock with a
few peaceful sheep at his feet.
The name of the piece was ‘The
Shepherd Boy,’ by G. D. Wilson.
The boy is playing a simple
pipe, doubtless it was early
“rock music’’!
I liked this lively little tune
which went over and over the
same simple melody and often I
wondered how it could end, for
each phrase easily blended with
‘some variation into the next
phrase, and just went on as long
as the boy wanted to keep it up.
I never tired of hearing it. I
learned to whistle it, and if I had
ever gained any facility with
my recorder, I think I could
play the air which was in the
key of G and should be easy to

finger on my D recorder. Only
our dog cannot stand the sound
of a pipe at least when anybody
here tries to play it—which
means me!
For some reason which I am
not sure of, I have wanted to
compare New Testament Greek
with the Greek of our modern
day such as people in Athens
use now: My acquaintance with
New Testament Greek is not
profound by any means, nor has
my recent study of it been the
discipline my first few years of
it were. For then I had teachers
who stood for no fooling nor
choosing here or there. But
those teachers whom I hold in
great ‘veneration have since
gone beyond the range of Com-
monwealth Telephone service.
Recently when Catherine was
browsing through her favorite
book store, she happened on to a
copy of ‘Modern Greek in 20
Lessons’ and brought it home
for me. I shall enjoy going over
this which shows the difference
in pronounciation between the
Greek of the New Testament of
Christ’s time and the language
of today in Athens, or wherever
modern Greek is spoken. I
expect to enjoy this very much.
Even in the ancient tongue of
2000 years ago, there are inter-
esting lights coming through the
text. For instance, in the part of
the Gospel of Matthew where
the Lord’s Prayer is recorded,
Jesus talks to his friends about
the current practice of fasting
as a religious exercise or dis-
cipline. Jesus told them not to
do it the way the show-offs of his
day did it. Many people made
quite a to-do about fasting and
took it with great solemnity and
gloom. Jesus warned his friends
not to be that way. The Greek
word for what I would translate
as ‘‘sour-puss” sounds very
much like just that—‘‘sky-
thropes’’! You try saying that
word and see how it sounds!
And when I read or hear some
people talking about our times
being ‘the last days’...(ever
since I can remember I have
been hearing people say, “It
will not be long now until the
end of the world.””) and now
with the end of a war which we
never declared, people are
saying that it is surely nearing
the end of the days which were
prophesied. So I read through
the other day, the passage in
Luke 21, on and about the terror
of those times, and so I looked in
up in Greek and also in the new
english version and find that it
goes something like this: ‘All
these things will take place be-
fore the people, now living, have
all died.” But I never heard or
read any comment on that text
which plainly places the terrible
events as something already
about to happen and which did
happen. Well, I hadn’t better get
involved in that controversy.
But it still is fun to read about it
in the Greek of that day.
immediately.
