* On April 8, 1930, baseball legend Babe Ruth signed a two-year contract for a then enormous sum of $160,000 with the New York Yankees, prompting the team’s general manager,

Ed Barrow, to predict (with, of course, now laughable inaccuracy) that “No one will ever be paid more than Ruth.”

* On April 9, 1860, French inventor Édouard-

Léon Scott de Martinville used his phonautograph, the earliest known sound recording device, to capture himself singing the French folk song “Au Clair de la Lune.”

Sidney Poitier became the first Black actor to win the coveted Best Actor Oscar for his role as laborer Homer Smith, who assists a group of poor East German nuns with building a church, in “Lilies of the Field.” Three years later, he was Hollywood’s top box office draw.

* On April 12, 1877, with a well-justified fear of ricocheting foul balls (not to mention being hit by a bat), Harvard’s Alexander Tyng wore a converted fencer’s mask for a baseball game in Lynn, MA, becoming the first-known player to don a catcher’s mask. While the new gear initially drew taunts from fans, designer Fred Thayer’s patent for the device was approved the following January.

* On April 14, 2010, Neil Armstrong criticized the Barack Obama administration’s stripped-down space plans in an open letter co-signed by Apollo commanders James Lovell and Eugene Cernan, describing the president’s proposals as “devastating.” Supporters, however, insisted that the accelerated rocket program would set new goals for American efforts in outer space.

LAFF MIT MIR

By Ernest Waldo Bechtel

Laaf mit mir noch em Barig.

Laaf mit mir noch em See.

Laaf mit mir in die Felder, Alles is doch so schee.

Laaf mit mir in die Sunnschein.

Laaf mit mir wann’s re’ert.

Laaf mit mir im Muunschein

Un harrich was mer heert.

Die Feggel peife un singe, Der Wind schiddelt des Laab.

Markets

All Fuder fer en Aag.

Wem sei Arewet is des?

Wer macht die Welt so schee?

Wer wessert die Landschaft im Summer

Un nemmt aweck der Schnee?

Ich glaab sis Gott Allmechdich!

Er macht die Welt so schee

Un gebt uns all die Dinger.

Nau witt du mit mir geh?

***

WALK WITH ME

Walk with me to the hill.

Walk with me to the sea.

Walk with me in the fields,

All is so beautiful.

Walk with me in the sunshine.

Walk with me when it rains.

Walk with me in moonshine

And listen to what one hears.

The birds whistle and sing,

The wind rustles the leaves.

The grass is green, the heavens are blue, Everything a feast for the eye.

Whose work is this?

Who makes the world so lovely?

Who waters the landscape in summer

Now, will you walk with me? ***

This week, we are again blessed with another new poem by our dear friend, “Der Buschgnippel,” Ernest Waldo Bechtel, out greatest living Dutch poet. Without any doubt, this is one of the most impressive poems ever written in our Mudderschprooch. The greatness of LAAF MIT MIR lies in its simplicity, its directness, its brevity, its imagery, and the absence of loanwords from the English. It takes out attention with the very first imperative: Laaf…! It holds our attention and directs our eye. It is a walk through the world. Not only do we see with the poet but we also hear the sounds of nature. In the fourth verse, he asks us to account for all this beauty and order in the world. His answer is direct and forceful: “Ich glaab sis Gott Allmechdich!” And after he has convinced us that God has given us all, he invites us to accompany him on his walk through the world (and life). There can be no doubt of the fact that this poem is a masterpiece.

Of LAAF MIT MIR, Ernest Waldo Bechtel wrote: “Another new piece. It took less than five minutes to catch it. I suppose my walking has sharpened my senses to the beauty all around us and I feel like inviting anyone to accompany me.” LAAF MIT MIR was written on November 9, 1986.

McCoy Named To Dean’s List

Conor McCoy, Lititz, was named to the Dean’s List at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) for the Fall 2023 semester. Conor is a member of the Class of 2026.

The criteria for the WPI Dean’s List differs from that of most other universities as WPI does not compute a grade point average (GPA). Instead, WPI defines the Dean’s List by the amount of work completed at the A level in courses and projects. 9

On June 22, Tonya’s heart was in the right place.

Like a lot of busy moms, Tonya tends to put herself last. But when her symptoms kept getting worse, her friends encouraged her to go to WellSpan Good Samaritan Hospital. "One second I thought I was just getting older, the next moment I'm having triple bypass surgery," says Tonya. But Tonya's heart truly was in the right place. Her surgeon, Dr. LeBoutillier, is renowned for the exact open-heart technique that Tonya needed. Today, Tonya's heart is strong and still in the right place — enjoying the little moments with her family.

First United New Sermon Series

First United Methodist Church of Ephrata will be hosting a new sermon series on “The Sabbath: Its Meaning for Modern Man” beginning Sunday, April 14 and will continue to Sunday, May 12.

Do you know why you go to church on Sunday and worship? Don’t just say because your pastor says so! The tradition of Sunday worship came from the Sabbath in Judaism. Why should churches keep Jewish tradition? One could argue that Jesus wasn’t

even good at keeping the Sabbath. When Jesus healed the sick on the Sabbath, Pharisees believed he was working. He was criticized several times for breaking the Sabbath law. So, what is the meaning of Sabbath or Sunday for Christians today when over 70% of Christians do not observe it?

The church would like to invite you to a new sermon series based on the book, “The Sabbath: Its Meaning for Modern Man” written by Abraham Joshua Heschel, a Jewish Theologian. He shares God’s true intention for His Creation, and how our existence in time and space reveals the meaning and purpose of Sabbath. They will explore many questions and ultimately

find that God knew people would be in a constant battle to survive in the world of sin. Consequently, God designated the Sabbath as the day of the man—the finite being— to be connected to God, the Infinite One. Please join them on this journey to understanding God’s plan for everyone and the Sabbath.

• Sunday, April 14 - One: A Palace in Time

• Sunday, April 21 - Two: The Splendor of Space

• Sunday, April 28 - Three: “Thou Art One”

• Sunday, May 5 - Four: Eternity Utters a Day

• Sunday, May 12 - Five: Holiness in Time

Woman’s Club Of Ephrata

The Woman’s Club of Ephrata recently met on Thursday, March 21 at the Eicher Arts Center, Ephrata, for a meeting. The following is a summary from that meeting.

Spring Arrives with Learning and Laughter

On Thursday, March 21, as spring adorned Ephrata with the first blooms of daffodils, the Woman’s Club of Ephrata celebrated the season’s arrival in festive style. The tables were playfully decorated with trucks of luck and leprechaun hats, setting a cheerful tone for the meeting.

A Twist of Pretzel History

Their esteemed speaker from the renowned Sturgis Pretzel Factory in Lititz shared fascinating insights into the simple beginnings of pretzels from flour, water, and yeast, and the artistry of pretzel making. Members were captivated by tales of ‘holy twisters’ and the precision of ‘wrist flicking,’ discovering the storied history of a local culinary icon.

A Treat for the Taste Buds

In keeping with the theme, their snack selection was a delightful nod to their guest speaker’s legacy, featuring chocolate pretzels, sumptuous lemon cake, and a decadent pretzel caramel and vanilla ice cream.

Upcoming

Gatherings and Initiatives

Looking ahead, a ceramic painting party promises

a splash of color and creativity next week. As they read through thankyou notes and committee reports, they were reminded of the cherished moments and contributions that make the club vibrant.

April beckons with their Membership Tea at 12:30 p.m., where members will bring their own teacups in a lovely tradition of sharing and companionship. With a few bingo tickets still available, excitement is brewing for what is sure to be a spirited event.

new era of leadership and promise.

Regarded As Holy

Author: Wenger

Scripture: Leviticus 10:3“By those who come near Me I will be regarded as holy, and before all the people I must be glorified.”

God is very concerned about our conduct. He is slow to bring judgment and discipline, but rest assured, if we push far enough, He will do so. God said to Moses, “Then the LORD passed by in front of him and proclaimed, ‘The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in faithfulness and truth;’” (Exodus 34:6). Be careful not to fall into complacency or be at ease with sin Zephaniah 1:12 was written to Israel for just that reason: “At that time I will search Jerusalem’s darkest corners to punish those who sit complacent in their sins They think the Lord will do nothing to them, either good or bad.” Sometimes we can be fooled into thinking that

God will look the other way for me. I am not as bad others and they seem fine. Remember, God is no respecter of persons - “For the one who does wrong will receive the consequences of the wrong which he has done, and that without partiality.” (Colossians 3:25). “And Peter opened his mouth and said, “Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of persons.” (Acts 10:34). I have seen a number of young people who were believers, but tolerated patterns of sin in their life and died at a very young age. I can only guess they were never going to get victory over these strongholds. I want to be very cautious here, it’s all up to God’s sovereignty. If God has a concern for our conduct, we should as well.

When a person becomes a Christian, their whole being should be different. That person will begin to have a different motivation, a different view of almost everything. There should be a desire to speak to others about their salvation. According to the scripture, “Therefore if any man be in

Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.” There should be a fundamental change in every true believer. Sometimes this change happens immediately, other times, it takes awhile to manifest itself. With exposure to the Word of God, which is absolutely critical, the new life will begin to grow as the Holy Spirit brings light to replace the darkness, truth to replace lies, and the fruit of the Spirit to replace the works of the flesh. My whole point in saying this is that if there is no change, no desire to be Christ-like, there is most likely, no salvation. If we are truly born of God in salvation, there should be a likeness. The scripture says, (Psalms 96:9) “Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.” (Psalm 96:9). “Pursue peace with all people, and holiness without which, no one will see the Lord.” (Hebrews 12:14). The scripture is clear, Godliness, Christ likeness, is an acid test for salvation. Remember what James said, “In the same way, faith also, if it has no works, is dead,

being by itself. But someone may well say, “You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” (James 2:17-18).

If we in fact draw close to the Lord, we will have a healthy dissatisfaction with our own life. Paul said, “I do not count myself as already having attained but I press on.” Remember Isaiah, when he saw the Lord, his response was “woe is me, I am a man of unclean lips.” It is true, that the closer you draw to God, the further away you feel. Never be satisfied; there is always more we can be and do in Christ.

God is concerned with our conduct. It is for our own good and His glory. Psalms says, “by thy righteousness keep my soul from trouble.” (Psalm 143:11). Proverbs says, “Turn at my reproof and I will pour out my Spirit on you; I will make my words known unto you.” (Proverbs 1:23).

Next week, we look at the last portion of our verse “and before all the people I must be glorified.”
