Page A2 SE by Rev. Charles H. Gilbert Well, we have finally got a start on . the panelling of my study walls. Not that any “special deadline date for that job was set, but we ran across the bargain in wood panel material quite a while back and bought the number of sheets ‘needed for the work. The only place to store those four by eight foot sheets was on the front porch, and there it would have to remain until days ‘became warm enough for us to work on. the porch at the . business of cutting them to fit. . When cut to measure we would _ then bring in a panel at a time and apply it to the place on the wall we had prepared to receive it, I anticicpated the need for a small power jigsaw or sabre saw to do the work. No hand- sawing that stuff! In my cellar workshop. I practiced using the saw. I had a bad time getting so I could follow a lire and cut a straight piece. Actually I ~ bought the saw so Catherine would have a useable cutting tool for light work she might have to do from time tc time. When I bought her a pair of electric scissors some Chivist- mases ago, I found that she at once became adept in their use and has done marvelous work following lines of a pattern for this buzz-wuzz-wuzz to do. When the right kind of day came to work out on the front porch, we made a beginning. . We had to learn how to set up a ~ bench and kitchen chairs on ~ which to lay the material. The cutting of this thin panel board was not {oo hard, but ahout the first thing I learned was that the lady who could use electric ~ scissors to follow a line of a * pattern was just the specialist I needed to do the same with the electric saw on the panel. I could help hold the work steady, ~ but she was the lady to use the saw! We really did get a start at * putting on panels on my study . walls. We have two panels all nailed in place. A third is cut to measure, but it will be some time before we ‘can make that fit. There are inequities in the wall and ceiling. and in fact, the house doesn’t seem to want to make any adjustments. I wouldn't say our darling little gate, but sometimes there are bends. unevennesses that have to be allowed for. But we have made a beginning. Meanwhile my study looks as if I might be expecting the district superintendent to move me to another charge! Every- thing has to get away from the walls. Some things have to be put temporarily in boxes, moved ‘here and there. My vision sees the walls all done, my desk cleaned off and some things disposed of, and the whole place made neater and convenient. It is hard for me to dispose of old letters, for in- stance. because they represent real thoughts put into words just for me. And when I read them over. it gives me somewhat of a new lift because of what my friends write to me. But after awhile one does have to make room for more! How nice it will be when the room gets really settled again! How bravely I determine to keep things slicked up, sorted and classified, and perhaps some thrown away, and some kept! Dorothy's letters from Africa, I have arranged by years and together in a box. Now at this writing, June 4, we are getting ready to attend the sessions of Wyoming Annual Conference meeting again in Scranton. Catherine, of course, will be going and taking me so I'll not have to drive in Scranton where driving is not so easy. She enjoys going and will attend sessions with me, and we'll socialize between sessions, renewing acquaintances, noting probably how much some of them have aged! Of course, we will not be staying up there nights. but will be home, commuting again the next morning. We'll look over the books that are always on sale at Conference. I'll not need to buy any now, bul never can tell; there might be some I'll fall for!
