Page 2 emma aro bv the Rev. Charles H. Gilbert Preparing to make out church dues checks is a pious act. Isn't it? The Church has a great pro- across the world and draws support from the faithful contributions of its member- ship. So on Sunday morning, with pen in hand. I was about to write checks. 1 discovered the pen was dry. and I reached across to gel the bottle of ink from under the book trough where it is always safe. I filled my pen and was in the act of re- placing the bottle to its safe shelter. The bottle squirmed from me. the cap came off, and ink. one half hottle of it. spread itself over and into the workings of my Royal portable! At my howl of despair and horror, Cathy came running. and began sopping up the unpious display on desk and papers. but worst of all. down into the innards of this wonderful machine! Since this column is titled My Typewriter Talks. lel's hear what it says: *'l am used to heing called on to write a lot of letters and to address enve- something worth my operator's time spelling out. I'm not too good at thinking up things for him to use on me. But I never did him a speck of harm. Some- times | get confused over what he 1s trying to say. and I can't always spell his words right. But I've been docile and obed- ient. And I ask. ‘What have 1 done to deserve this defacing treatment’! I always want to write happy words for him. And now anyone would think I was a bathed in ink on a Sunday morn- ing.. I wonder what he will do about getting me cleaned up. 1 know he has lately talked about taking me to the repair man and having me done over by a pro- fessional. wouldn't mind that, and I guess that is what he had better do. 1 think that is really the piousest thing he could do.” So after Cathy tried to clean the inside by running tissue both decided to ‘let the man down town doit.” T always have a bad time putting in a new rib- hon. and so we'll have ‘‘the man’ do that. and anything else that seems to be needed. Meanwhile she is letting me machine, an old Remington portable. Old? Yes, I gave it to her when she first went to college in the later of our Carverton: years. It had been a new machine when 1 got it, and how I did use it in those days! I cut all the stencils on it for the church Sunday bulletins, for special lesson sheets I was preparing. and then the writing and re-writing of an attempt to win a prize with an article I had long thought about putting be- fore the reading public. The an- nouncement of the contest ask- ed for at least 50.000 words. dou- ble spaced. 1 wrote and rewrote that paper about five times during that year, 1937. 1 got it out and looked at it’ the other day. and if 1 do say so. it still is a neal looking lot of typing. It never won a prize. not even an honorable mention. All I got out of it was more ideas about St. John's Gospel. And incidental- Iv. 1 got a lot more respect for this “old” is still a wonderful machine.

I'll be more careful after this. Poor thing! I'm really sorry for what happened to it through my carelessness. This past week was the time for me to administer the Lord's Supper. or Holy Communion at Valley Crest. It was the season all ehurches have World-Wide Communion. 1 did it in two days Tuesday. C-wing; Wed- nesday. D-Wing. This last is the hardest. The patients are more helpless. and therefore more pathetic. but most of them would miss it if it did not *‘com- mon around’. As I have often said. my administration of com- as liturgically immaculate and proper. All T can say for it is that I try to think of it as my ef- fort to offer them Christ in these symbols. The first. successful project of the newly-formed Ladies Auxiliary of.the Dallas Fire and Ambulance Association was the operation of a food booth at the Auction. at the Agway store at the center of Dallas. Oct. 6 First Annual Institute Allied Services Plans At a program planning committee meeting held at Allied Services for the Handi- capped, Scranton, Donald D.
