50 YEABS IN LOCKE By Mary Burkey

“Oh, will Dolly scare?” I exclaimed nervously, looking at the horse. “No, Dolly is real gentle,” was Verda’s reassuring reply. But the unexpected happened. “The clover hullers will come to our place and papa (Aaron Smeltzer) wants Paul and me to take the cream to Freese’s creamery after school. Mary, you can go with us to get Macy a present if you want to. We’ll stop for you. Macy Bender, a school chum of ours recently married Roy Shank and we school children were planning a kitchen shower for her. Paul and Varda Smeltzer (now Mrs. Gib Birkey of Bremen) and I were a little ways past .Jesse Kronks, where the Charles Fletchers sr., now live, when we met the clover seed huller drawn by a steam engine. Jonas Frederick, father of Harvey, drew to the side of the road to let us pass. We were already past when all at once there was a loud continued swishing noise as the engine began to release its steam. It scared Dolly and die ran across the roadside ditch into the wire fence hooking the buggy wheel hub irtto the wire. When die horse tried to turn back to the road, the buggy began to upset. Verda, who was driving, held fast to the lines and jumped, telling us to jump too. Paul did, but I was thrown out as the buggy turned on its side. The can of cream went right across me and landed upside down beyond me, on its fast-dosed lid. No cream spilled and no one was hurt, but naturally we were quite excited . Part of the horse’s harness was torn, including the holdback strap, and unless this strap could be fixed, Dolly would be able to ran away if she tried, Bud Herr, living where Eli Helmutlis do, was one of the hullers at Irven Schroclcs, where Junior PJetchers now’ live. He saw the accident and came running to help us- and see if anyone was hurt. The late Jesse Kronk soon arrived too. Together they repaired the harness good enougji for us to drive to town and do our errands. Bud, who is a big tease, gave us our share of teasing over the accident and lifted qs out of some of our nervous tension. ! It was dusk when we returned to the Village that evening and people were at supper. We sang songs on our way home and the song I really remember was

THURSDAY, MARCH 31 Read Isaiah 1:10—20 or John 14:15—21 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sans be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. (Isaiah 1:18.) Isaiah comes nearer approaching the Gospel standard of righteousness than any other Old Testament prophets. So true is this that he is frequently referred to as the Gospel Prophet. There is a remarkable similarity in method of approach, as well as content, in the above text and many of the sayings of Jesus. In both instances religion is assumed to be most reasonable. If you can get men to stop long enough really to think through the problems of life, they wall discover, as all true followers of the Lord Jesus Christ have discovered, that a real religious experience is the most satisfying thing in all the wxirid. The difficulty with so many professed Christians is that they fail to enter deeply enough into the experience of religion to test its value. Let us consecrate our lives wholly to the Lord Jesus Christ and daily seek the guidance of the Holy Spirit This way leads to victorious living. FIRAYER: Heavenly Father, may men everywhere realize the folly of placing their reliance upon material things and vision a world in which spiritual values are given their proper place. May Thy will be done and thy kingdom come. For Jesus’ sake and in His blessed name. Amen. THOUGHT FOR THE DAY Sin produces indelible stains which the sacrificial blood of Jesus alone can remove. / - Grover Carlton Emmons* * Reprint of meditation used on August 18, 1940 World-wide Bible Reading John 18:1—14

the once we were singing as we passed the spot where we had our accident. In part it w’as, “Hark, the voice of Jesus calling. Who will go and work today? Fields are white, the harvest waiting, who will bear the sheaves away? “ If you cannot speak like angels, if you cannot preach like Paul. You can tell the love of Jesus, you can say he died for all.

DEAR MISTER EDITOR: I ain’t got out much this week to git any news first hand and ail I know is what I been reading in the papers. And I ain’t got any of that confirmed official yet on account of not gitting to the country Store Saturday night. But several little items struck me as unusual and I aim to take ‘em up at our next meeting. Fer instanit, I see' where the Tonga Islands out in the Pacific has a population of 40,000 and has got no taxes, no public debt and no juvenile delinquency. I think steps should be took at onet to bring civilization to them pore islands. It’s plain that they ain’t got none. And I was mighty interested in that piece about a Baltimore dentist breaking a patient’s leg while pulling a wisdom tooth. The wisdom in most people don’t go that fur down but I reckon this is a unusual feller in Baltimore. I see where them Congressmen is still talking about reducing taxes. This is normal fer the Congress in a election year. It’s hard to believe that this nation was founded to git away from taxation and today that’s about all we got. The American Revolution started over one tax and now we got enough of ‘em to keep a revolution going till the end of time. Congress spends about half its time talking about taxes and the other half talking about inflation. I’ve done give up on taxes and I ain’t losing no sleep worrying about inflation. In 1933, fer instant, I was broke and had to eat sardines fer a week. In 1960 if I eat sardines fer a week I’d be broke again. Inflation or deflation, it’s the same difference, the

way I see it. In the end I don’t reckon it makes much difference on way or the other. In this world of today man is begotten in a hurry and fergotten in a hurry, and judging from what the preacher says at his funeral and the newspapers says in his obituary, he has lived the good and full life. If he has managed to have a TV rod on his roof and a two-car parked in front of his house, I reckon the preacher and the newspapers is right. I think it’s a Waste of time fer Congress to keep making new laws trying to cover the situation. We got so many laws now that the new ones is meeting the old ones coming back. And then my preacher says the big trouble with this county is that there ain't enough respect fer law. The big trouble is that we got so many laws there just ain’t enough respect to go around. Them Congressmen has been solving our financial problems, including the national debt, fer years with a revolving mirror and I don’t see why we need any more laws fer that operation. • Yours truly, Uncle Eb Go to church Sunday
