paver walkway, stone steps, updated landscaping, which included new sod and benches. Owen spent many months in the spring and summer planning the project, and meeting with local businesses to solicit their help with funds and materials. Numerous volunteers made this project extremely successful, including the Boy Scouts from

Troop 60, many OMPH parishioners, the Knights of Columbus Father Daley Council 4191 in Ephrata, and many family members and friends.

The pre­existing Grotto was built in the early 1900s, but over the years maintenance of the Grotto has become more difficult. The overgrowth of weeds and the lack of accessibility to the prayer area due to the frequent occurrence of water making the space muddy when wet, made the prayerful grounds not as safe to move around on.

Der Eeli hot an manniche Gross Miedins gebreddicht. Sie sin gange fer sex bis acht Woche ­ alli Owed, ebmols bis elf Uhr. Sie hen die Versammling net zugemacht so lang as ebber an de Drauerbank waar. Es waar der Glaawe as des daed der

Heilich Geischt nunnerduh. Wu die Miedins vorbei waare, sin der Bishop, die Breddicher un die Vorschteher gange die neigeborne Leit bsuche fer ihne helfe en grischtlich Heemet aafange. Wann es Leichde gewwe hot, hen der Bishop un drei odder vier Parre helfe misse breddiche.

Die greescht Zeit vun all waar’s Liebfescht. Die Samschdaags Versammling waar fer die Leit ready mache fer’s Heilich Nachtmohl Sunndaags. Darich des Fescht sin die Leit neecher zu Gott kumme un sie hen Gott gedankt fer alles as er geduh hot fer sie. No sin sie beim schtille Wasser kumme un Gott gelobt mit alde Karichelieder. Dann hot der Bishop en paar scheeni Wadde gsaat, er un en Helfer der Kandidaat beim Aarem gnumme un ins Wasser gfiehrt. Die ganz Zeit waar die Gmee am Singe. Die Kandidaade waare dreimol gedaaft: im Naame vum Vadder, Sohn un Heilich Geischt.

Der Bishop Peter (“Pidder”) Gress hot mir mol gsaat as der Grossdaadi mol ee Nacht bei ihm gebliwwe is. Es is noch de Versammling zu schpot warre vun Reinholds heem faahre.

Der Eeli hot en gross Lieb ghat fer Schpass, awwer dreckichi Schtories waare hasslich zu ihm. Der Solly Harting vun Riehmeschteddel hot mir en Beischpiel gewwe. Es waar en Fendu un der Eeli waar datt. Es waar der Gebrauch as der Groyer en paar dreckiche Schtories verzehlt hot. Der Solly waar noch net en Grischt un des hot ihm gwunnert was der Eeli dutt wann des aageht. Der Solly hot gsaat, der Eeli hot yuscht datt gschtanne mit sei Kopp gebickt yuscht so as er am Bede waer fer die weltliche Leit. Des hot der Solly aa en Abbeditt gewwe fer en grischtlich Lewe hawwe.

Der Eeli hot sich bekimmert fer sei Famillye. Er hot die Buwe gholfe uff de Bauerei un in Bissniss. Mei Daadi waar laahm. Der Eeli hot zu ihm gsaat, “Rube, du muscht en Lanning griege.” So hot er ihn noch Millersville Normal Schul geschickt. Die erscht Schul, wu er Schul ghalde hot, waar an Haahneschteddel. Do hot er grosse Buwe ghat. Eener waar sei sex Fuuss Bruder Jim. Ee Mariye hen sie ihn ausgschlosse. Awwer der Rube is uff’s Dach gegraddelt un hot en Schindel iwwer der Schannschtee glegt. Er hot sie ausgschmokt. Sie sin rauskumme mit wesseriche Aage un sue waare am Huuschde wie alles.

Wann ich an der Gremmpaep denk, kennt ich schreiwe fer en ganzer Munet. Er is net reich warre in weltliche Sache wie die Rockefellers, Woolworths un Mellons. Awwer ich daed net mei Arebschaft verhandle fer all ihr Geld. Der Eeli hot en Arebschaft glosst as Geld net kaafe kann. Wann ich sei Abschpringes sehn: Breddicher, Missionaries, Karichscheffer un gut grischtliche Leit, all Leit as ihm nooch nemme. Wann er noch do waer, kennt ich ihm heere saage, “Adeline, mir hen gude Sume geblanzt. Nau gucke mir fer en Harebscht Fescht vun gude Frucht.” ***

“Eeli” preached at many revival services. They went on for six to eight weeks every evening, sometimes until

step great grandchildren.

11 o’clock. The meeting was not concluded as long as someone was still at the altar. It was the belief doing so would interfere with the Holy Spirit. When the meetings were over, the bishop, the ministers and the elders would visit the new born to help them begin a Christian home. When there were funerals, the bishop and three or four ministers had to assist in the preaching.

The biggest time of all was the Love Feast. The Saturday meeting was to prepare the people for the Holy Communion on Sunday. Through this feast, the people came closer to God and they thanked God for all he had done for them. Then they came to the still water and praised God with old hymns. The bishop spoke appropriate words; then he and a helper took the candidate by the arm and lead him into the water. The candidates were baptized three times: in the name of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost.

Bishop Peter Gress once said to me that Grandfather once spent the night at his place. It got too late after a meeting to drive home from Reinholds. Thus, it was with our forefathers and their legacy to us. “Eeli preached, prayed and sang in German. But he was no “jumper” as many were in those days. Sometimes he’d raise his hands into the air as the Biblical characters have done. Whenever he spoke of lost souls, a tear came to his eye.

An example of the power of his preaching: a woman from the church of Rev. Wesley Martin of Akron, where he preached years ago, told me that he had preached on pride. She looked down and saw her fancy dress trimmed in lace. She went straight home and took off the lace.

The bishop loved good fun, but he hated off color stories. Solly Harting of Reamstown gave me an example. There was an auction and “Eeli” was there. It was the custom for the auctioneer to tell a few off color stories. Solly was not yet a Christian and he was wondering what would happen when these stories were told. Solly said that the bishop just stood there with his head bowed as if he were praying for the worldly folk. This encouraged Solly to lead a Christian life.

“Eeli” was greatly concerned about his family. He helped his sons on the farm and in business. My father was lame. “Eeli” said to him, “Rube, you must get an education.” So he sent Rube to Millersville State Normal School, now Millersville University. Rube’s first school was at Hahnstown. There were big boys in the school. One of them was his six foot brother, Jim. One morning they locked out the teacher. But Rube climbed onto the roof and placed a shingle upon the chimney. He smoked them out. They came out with weeping eyes and coughing for dear life.

When I think about Grandfather, I recall enough stories to last a month. He was not rich with worldly goods like the Rockefellers, the Woolworths and the Mellons. But I wouldn’t trade my inheritance for all their wealth. “Eeli” left behind a fortune that money cannot buy. I see his progeny: preachers, missionaries, church workers and good Christian people, all people that take after him. If he were still here, I could hear him say, “Adeline, we planted good seed. No we’re looking for the harvest festival with good fruit.” ***

This week, we conclude this two part series on the Hornberger clan, especially Bishop Elias F. Hornberger. The bishop’s life encompassed the second half of the 19th and the first quarter of the 20th centuries, a period of great and rapid change. We are indebted to his grandson, Dave Hornberger of Ephrata, for recording for us these anecdotes from the life of his grandfather.

In our earlier field work in Lancaster County, we had an opportunity to hear the late Bishop Peter Gress preach. We expect that by this date all the singers of the Dutch spirituals in his church have gone on to their eternal reward. What a blessing it was to hear them sing!

Now that we know that Rube Hornberger attended M.S.N.C., we’ll try to locate records of his studies

As a graduate of F&M, and for 23 years a member of the Millersville faculty, I am aware of the profound impact both schools have had on our community. However, sometimes we underestimate the significance of Millersville’s contribution.

Irish Patriot and Artist

Cathal Stephen O’Mahony was born in 1866, and came to Ephrata in about 1920 from Brooklyn, New York. For sixteen years he lived in a room on the upper floor of the Mt. Vernon Inn on the southeast corner of the square.

Born in Ireland, O’Mahony attended the University of Dublin where he became involved in “hazardous patriotic activities that nearly cost him his life.” He was jailed by the English for aiding the Irish attempts to overthrow English rule, and following his release he immigrated to America. Following his naturalization he attended Columbia

Food For Fines At Adamstown Library

On Monday, November 21, Tuesday, November 22, and Wednesday, November 23, bring unexpired, unopened, nonperishable food donations to the desk and the library will waive up to $6 in fines from your account. This will apply only to fines on Adamstown Area Library items, not lost items or items checked out from other Lancaster County libraries. Library staff will waive fines up to $6 per person for any donations made during these three days. Donations will then be dropped off to the First Friday Food Drive at Warehouse 916 on Friday, December 2.

University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. For a time he served as counsel for the Sugar Trust of America, and later worked as a chemist with the Federal Bureau of Standards, Washington, D.C.

In about 1908, prior to moving to Ephrata, he took up painting as a hobby. It should be noted that O’Mahony never had a painting lesson. His artwork, which most today would consider naïve or even folksy, provided him with a source of income to pay his medical expenses, and room and board. He painted pictures on paper, canvas and tin; and decorated everyday items such as lamp shades, wooden boxes, textiles, etc.

O’Mahony suffered from debilitating articular rheumatism and for the last years of his life he was confined to his room in the Mt. Vernon. While living in the Mt. Vernon it was reported that he had “decorated his hall room,

The Jesse Jones Composite Squadron 304 of Lititz, York Composite Squadron 301 of Thomasville, and Gettysburg Squadron 308 of Gettysburg, all came together to train in emergency services in order to practice search and rescue for downed aircraft and missing persons. The search and rescue exercise, also known as SAREX, included Civil Air Patrol support aircraft from Capital City Airport. Cadets and Senior Members from each of the squadrons worked together in teams to complete search and rescue tasks to locate and identify clues in a real life simulation of a downed

aircraft with a missing person that parachuted from an airplane prior to crashing. Teams had to traverse through natural terrain utilizing orienteering skills, implement search techniques, perform mission radio communication protocols, and extraction of the “missing person” utilizing what they have learned through their Civil Air Patrol training.

These Search and Rescue exercises are very important in the training of Cadets and Seniors to identify any areas that need improvement in order to effectively and efficiently perform mission objectives in the event that they are called to serve the community or nation during national emergencies, natural disasters, downed aircraft, or missing person searches.

This is just one of the many activities that Jesse Jones Squadron 304 performs to be prepared to serve their community. Service to their community, their state and their nation is a primary part of the cadet programs within the Civil Air Patrol.

This activity was primarily organized by the Jesse Jones Composite Squadron 304 Commander Major Jerome Broad. Major Broad has many years of emergency service mission experience.

Jesse Jones Squadron 304 meets each Monday (except holidays) at 7:00 p.m. in the Venture Jets hangar, which is located, on the airport near the intersection of Lititz Pike and Millport Road. Visitors are always welcome.

Our Primary Source of Strength

by Pastor John Fredericksen

Where do you run to for strength in times of difficulty? Some merely wallow in depression. Others resort to efforts in the flesh. Many simply turn to other people. The tragedy of

turning to any of these things or people is that their help or comfort is only marginal at best, and ignores what God has supplied to provide our needed stability.

David found the right answer. He wrote, “This is my comfort in my affliction: for Thy Word hath quickened me” (Psa. 119:50). In the midst of weakness, even when he felt extremely despondent, time spent in God’s Word brought him spiritual life, comfort, and the strength that he needed. The extent of the help he received is indicated by his testimony in verse 71: “It was good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.” Quite simply, he allowed God to

meet his need so adequately that his tragedy became a triumph by turning to the Scriptures.

Not only are we to

personally find God’s Word to be the answer for all our needs, we are also to present the Scriptures to others as the answer to their needs as well. That’s what the Apostle Paul

meant when he instructed the Philippians to be always “holding forth [meaning to present or offer] the Word of life” (Phil. 2:16). Their ministry to the lost was to be enhanced by the most “blameless” (2:15) conduct possible, as they shared the gospel with others, and applied God’s Word to daily living. But their ministry was to be empowered by promoting the Scriptures (not arguments, logic, or platitudes) to the hearts of those with whom they sought to have a ministry. This was the pattern the Apostle Paul left them. He held forth the Word of Life to them; they believed it and were saved. Later his letter further equipped them for their

present needs in the midst of suffering. It was this practice of presenting God’s Word to others, regardless of the individual need, that made Paul’s ministry so effective. God’s Word has real power because it is a divine message from the Lord God Almighty Himself.

God’s Word is the answer for the need of every human soul. Whether the need is eternal life, answers to current problems, counsel about what to do, comfort in trial, or insight into future events, God’s Word is intended by the Lord to be our source of strength and power. Run to it, and encourage others to do so, rather than turning to any other source.

Hinkletown Mennonite

Alayna Horst

8th Grade

Alayna, the encouraging, competitive leader of the 8th grade class is the daughter of Darwin and Bonita Horst. Alayna is the third sibling of four in her family. Alayna’s family attends Weaverland Anabaptist Faith Community Church, and she also attends that youth group, where she enjoys growing in her faith. She attends Hinkletown Mennonite School and is in 8th grade. Alayna likes playing her guitar, and she draws inspiration from her family and friends. Alayna has a dog and a cat and likes to eat pizza. Her favorite color is light blue. Alayna likes gym class, and her favorite pastime is sports; her favorite sports are volleyball and track.

Alayna is very involved in the Hinkletown girls volleyball team. In fact Alayna is the captain of the team. Alayna is a natural born volleyball player, and she was inspired to play volleyball by her older sister, Alexis, who played volleyball in high school and college. Alayna liked to watch her play, and because of that she now loves to play volleyball. Another reason Alayna likes to play volleyball is because it is a fun thing to do with her friends and family. Last year, she had an injured knee so she could not play volleyball, so now she is very glad to be able to play the sport she loves. She also likes to play because she is very competitive and because it is a fun sport to play.

One of her teammates says that “she dives for everything” and another says that she cheers others on and is a very encouraging person to play with.

Although Alayna does not know what she wants to do in the future, she will surely be used by God to do good things.

Jayce Martin

11th Grade

Jayce Martin is a Junior at Ephrata Mennonite School. He has been going to Ephrata Mennonite since he was in kindergarten. One thing Jayce really likes about school is the social interaction he gets everyday because he is an extrovert.

His extracurricular activities include playing on the basketball team and singing on the school’s Ministry Arts Team. He enjoys it because he likes playing on the basketball team because it’s competitive while also improving his skill and teamwork. The reason he sings on the school’s Ministry Arts Team is because Jayce enjoys singing and being able to hangout with his school friends while singing.

On the flipside of school life, he has an avid love for sports and follows teams such as the Philadelphia Phillies and Philadelphia Eagles. On the weekends, Jayce normally hangs out with friends, enjoys hanging out with his youth group and goes to church. When Jayce gets older, he might have an interest in doing missions to spread God’s word, however he is undecided at this point because he is not sure what God has planned for his life. His word to all would be to seek God’s will in your life.
