Page 10 - Mount Joy Bulletin March 21, 1973 BY MARTHA EPLER “The Woman at the Well”’ Dale Evans Published by Fleming H. Revell Company 1972 “The Woman at the Well” is Dale Evans Rogers’ autobiography. She states, however, in the prologue, that more important, she intends for the book to be her own Christian witness. The reader will find that the work is indeed a Christian witness, and a powerful one at that! Mrs. Rogers takes her title from a passage in the Gospel according to St. John. A woman of Samaria meets Jesus at a well, where she has gone to draw water. Jesus asks for a drink of water and in return, says he will give the woman living water. The woman asks how. ‘Jesus an- swered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again: But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.” The woman saith unto him, “Sir give me this water, that I thirst not....... ” Dale Evans Rogers, author of ten books, is a well-known Hollywood personality in her own right. However, she is also of- tentimes thought of as ‘‘Roy Rogers’ Wife!” She is indeed a beautiful person—both physically and spiritually. One finds her radiant spiritual character permeating her work from beginning to end. She has known life at its fullest, great joys and great sorrows. This enables her to share a depth of wisdom and understanding which is truly inspiring. Many people have read Mrs. Rogers’ first work, Angel Unaware, a book concerning her young retarded child, Robin Elizabeth. The subject of the little mongoloid daughter is treated also in this book, along with the touching stories of the Rogers’ other children, three of whom were adopted. Much of the joy and heartache of the Rogers’ family life centers about the children in their “League of Nations” family. The stories of Sandy, ‘‘Dodie,”” and “Debbie’’ are told with much love CENTRAL HOTEL 102 North Market Street MOUNT JOY, PENNA. Now Serving Sunday Dinners In first floor dining rooms 11 AM. to 7 P.M.

She feels that great emphasis should be placed upon religious education and respect for the great Biblical truths. It must be said, also, that in her faimly, the rewards of this philosophy have unquestionably paid off hand- somely! Several times the author speaks with felling about what is popularly known as the “generation gap.”’ She feels that from the beginning of time, there has been a ‘‘gap’’ between parent and youngster, but that parents basically DO understand their children, admit it or not. She feels that it is because they, too have experienced the same pangs of growth in their own lives! The author devotes the best part of a chapter to discussion of racial tolerance. It seems most appropriate from this remarable woman whose very own family has been a model of racial in- tegration. She does admit, however, that tolerance is not easy or simple, that racial prejudice is a serious problem in our country, and that there are no “pat” answers. She speaks of a long, hard inner struggle of her own, due to a basically biased Southern heritage. Although the author does not dwell morbidly upon it, one is aware of the great tragedies and failures that beset her in earlier life. Perhaps one is not previously aware that Dale Evans had experienced two unsuccessful marriages before her happiness with Roy Rogers. Also, one is perhaps not aware of the ill health which has con- stantly plaqued and haunted her. Mrs. Rogers has had one chief guiding and steadying factor in her life—her great love for faith in God and Christ. She attributes all her happiness and success to placing her life completely in God’s care. She claims to have gone ‘“‘overboard’’ and that such is necessary to be successful in one’s spiritual adventure. Dale Evans Rogers writes, “‘I have been the woman at the well—and He has given me Living Water that has made fertile and meaningful the desert spots of my life.” PHONE 653-4821 NEWCOMER MOTORS USED CARS and TRUCKS! 1970 CHEVROLET SEDAN 1968 OLDS H.T. 88 DELTA SEDAN 1968 CHEV.
