hours recently to see if he could find any hoarfrost scenes, which are a somewhat rare occurrence. They happen when temperatures are very low, the wind
almost completely absent and water vapor in the air condenses on solid surfaces forming ice crystals. When he left home, the temperature was 12 degrees, but as he
made his way to the back roads, it kept dropping down to a final low of 7 degrees. Despite being dressed properly, his painful hands eventually forced him to relent to a warm vehicle, but not before capturing this lovely farm scene.

AUF DER STRASSE
Vor der Thuere reicher Leute
Steht ein fruehverwaistes Kind: “Christfest feiert rings man heute,” Spricht es, und dem Aug’ entrinnt.
Eine Thraene, “o wie traurig Auf der Strasse hier zu stehn, Und zum Himmel, der so schaurig Schwarz und dunkel ist, zu sehn.
Niemand zuendet mir die Kerzen Auf dem Weihnachtsbaume an; Waehrend Reiche Froehlich scherzen, Geh’ ich traurig meine Bahn.
Doch ein Trost ist mir geblieben O wie schaurig blaest der Wind;Will mich auch kein Mensch mehr lieben, Mein gedenkt das Christuskind!”
Und es schlaeft mit diesen Worten Leise schluchzend jetzund ein;
In dem Saal der Freude droben Wird’s ein Gast zum Feste sein!
ON THE STREET
Before the door of rich folks
Stands an early orphaned child:
“Christmas is being celebrated all around today,” It says and from its eye falls
A tear, “oh how sad
To stand here on the street, And to look to the heavens, Which are so black and dark.
“One Of The Few Things In Life That’s Free…”

No one lights the candles On the Christmas tree for me; While the rich jest in pleasure, I sadly follow my path.
Yet there is one consolation O how frighteningly blows the wind;Even if not a soul loves me any more, The Christ Child will think of me!”
Sobbing with these words It now falls asleep; In the halls of joy above It will be a guest at the feast!

In shopping about for a preChristmas message, we came upon this German poem in the December 22, 1870 issue of DER REFORMIRTE HAUSFREUND, a biweekly newspaper in German which was published in Reading for members of the German Reformed Church in Pennsylvania and in the western states. DER REFORMIRTE HAUSFREUND appeared from 1867 to 1903, for a period of 37 years. For those who read German and are interested in the history of the German Reformed Church in Pennsylvania and elsewhere, the biweekly issues of the HAUSFREUND are a gold mine of information. There are many historical accounts and frequent reports on the congregational as well as on the synodical level. Most of the volumes of the HAUSFREUND, with the exception of the earliest volumes can be found in the library of the Lancaster Theological Seminary of the United Church of Christ.
We Pennsylvania Germans have a rich history if we are willing to take the time to look into it. How much of your personal and family history have you passed along to your children and grandchildren?

Everybody’s a Somebody in the Body of Christ
By Pastor Kevin Sadler
This article is an excerpt from the booklet “Everybody’s a Somebody in the Body of Christ” by Pastor Kevin Sadler, based on episode 6 of the TV series, “Transformed by Grace.”
“For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body
were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased Him. And if they were all one member, where were the body?” (1st Cor. 12:14-19).
These verses in 1st Corinthians 12 teach that each and every member of the Body of Christ is vitally important. Nobody’s a nobody. Everybody’s a somebody. Each has an essential role.
Many of the Corinthian believers were not happy with their gifts, and many in the church wanted a gift that someone else had. Paul says, “the Body is not one member.” That is, we simply cannot all hold the same position in the Body. God has graced different people with different abilities, and God in His wisdom and sovereignty has placed each of us in the Body where we
will be the most useful for Him: “God set the members…as it hath pleased Him” (v. 18).
The “honourable”/“less honourable” and “comely”/“uncomely” members (v. 23) that Paul refers to is from man’s point of view (“which seem,” v. 22; “which we think,” v. 23). From God’s vantage point, all members of the Body of Christ are important and necessary.
“Sir Michael Costa, the celebrated conductor, was holding a rehearsal. As the mighty chorus rang out, accompanied by scores of instruments, the piccolo player — a little pintsized flute — thinking perhaps that his contribution would not be missed amid so much music, stopped playing.
“Suddenly, the great leader stopped and cried out, ‘Where is the piccolo?’”
“The sound of that one small instrument was necessary to the harmony,
and the master conductor missed it when it dropped out. The point? To the conductor, there are no insignificant instruments in an orchestra. Sometimes the smallest and seemingly least important one can make the greatest contribution. Even if it doesn’t seem to make that big a difference to the audience at large, the conductor knows it right away!
“In the church, the players and the instruments are diverse — different sizes, different shapes, different notes, and different roles to play. Like the piccolo player in Sir Michael’s orchestra, we often in our own sovereignty decide that our contribution is not significant. Our contribution couldn’t possibly make a difference, so we quit playing, stop doing that which we’ve been given to do. We drop out, but the conductor immediately notices. From our perspective, our contribution
may be small; but from His, it is crucial.”
“I just have to believe I’m talking to some piccolo players who have dropped out of the orchestra for whatever reasons: pain, exhaustion, insecurity, criticism, laziness, misbehavior.
Convinced that your contribution doesn’t mean a hill of beans in the bigger scheme of things, you have buried your talent in the ground.”
That’s what Paul says in verses 15,16; to paraphrase, “Should the foot complain that he is only a foot and not a hand, or the ear that he is not the eye?” That is, the foot is a part of the body, the ear is a part of the body, and they’re both needed. For a body to be a body, it must have different parts and diverse members. Similarly, as members of the Body of Christ, we have particular functions to perform. Our purpose in life should be to perform our separate functions as well as we possibly can, and in His strength for the glory of God.
God does not want us to envy other people’s gifts and positions in the Body of Christ, and He also does not want us to judge others who may have a different gift. Some are prayer warriors, some are evangelists, some are teachers, some are pastors, some give, some rule, some show mercy and compassion, some minister by caring for the poor, providing for the sick, or watching over the local church. We’re not all eyes, nor hands, nor feet, and we’re not all ears.
If we were all the one same part of the Body, like the eye, Paul says in verse 17, then how would we hear, and if we were all an ear, how would we smell? In other words, if we all had the same position in the Body, how would the Body work? How would we minister? It would not even be a Body as verse 19 shows. The diversity in the Body allows Christ’s Church to reach more people, to help more people, to minister to more people. The church is most effective with its members faithfully performing the different ministries to which God has called them.
* On January 27, 1906, Norwegian speed skater Rudolf Gundersen set an impressive world record in a 500meter speed skating event in Davos, Switzerland, completing the distance in just 44.8 seconds.
* On January 28, 1917, a maid named Carmelita Torres objected to the chemical delousing frequently given to Mexicans crossing into the U.S. by initially refusing to leave the trolley carrying her and other immigrant workers, then hurling whatever she and her fellow riders could find at American authorities in what became known as the Bath Riots, which lasted through the following day.
* On January 29, 1958, one of Hollywood’s most enduring marriages began in Las Vegas, Nevada, when actors Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward tied the knot. The union lasted until Newman’s death from lung cancer in 2008, at the age of 83.
* On January 30, 1835, Andrew Jackson experienced the dubious distinction of being the first American
president to be the victim of an assassination attempt. He clubbed the attacker, Richard Lawrence, several times with his cane and escaped angry but unscathed, thanks to both of Lawrence’s guns misfiring, and Lawrence spent the rest of his days in a mental institution.
* On January 31, 1945, Private Eddie Slovik was shot and killed by a 12man firing squad in eastern
France, making him the first American soldier since the Civil War to be executed for desertion.
* On February 1, 2003, the Space Shuttle Columbia broke up while entering Earth’s atmosphere over Texas, killing all seven crew members. Strangely, worms used in a study by the crew, that were stored in a canister aboard the shuttle, did survive.

includes special formats accessible to persons with a variety of abilities and learning styles. Online resources include eBook and audiobook borrowing, test preparation and language learning tools, and research and reference databases. The library also provides public access to a climatecontrolled, safe, social space; and to wifi, copy/scan/print/ fax services, public computers, and internet access. Highlyskilled staff members are available to support library visitors with technical assistance, referrals to community resources, listening ears, book recommendations, help with school projects, and more. ELANCO Library is pleased to participate in PA Forward®, the Pennsylvania Library Association’s 21st Century Literacies Initiative, which encourages libraries to offer high quality programs, services, and collections that foster the development of Basic Literacy, Information Literacy, Civic and Social Literacy, Health Literacy, and Financial Literacy; earning
the Gold Star designation within that program for 2023/2024. For more information on PA Forward®, visit: https://paforward.org/.
ELANCO Library receives some funding from local and state governments but is responsible for raising approximately 60% or more of its frugal annual operating budget each year through local fundraisers, donations, and grants. The Library System of Lancaster County received a 17% funding cut for 2025; the resulting loss of funding and resources provided to ELANCO Library, library patrons, and library cardholders makes its funding challenges even more difficult.
Donations to help close ELANCO Library’s funding gap and continue vital community services into the future are gratefully accepted online at www.elancolibrary. org/donate; or by mail, or at the library, which is located at 11 Chestnut Drive, New Holland, PA 17557.

REAL Life Community Services Helps Distribute Items To Those In Need
REAL Life Community Services recently provided numerous children with brandnew shoes and socks in conjunction with Operation Warm. These essential items not only help keep children protected, warm, and dry, they can have a significant impact on a child’s mental and emotional wellbeing. These items can mean the difference between going to school or not; between participating in activities or sitting out. No child should ever have to face these circumstances.
The event was a great success, thanks to the involvement of Subaru’s Operation Warm. REAL Life Community Services was blessed to have been chosen to help distribute these needed items to children who are in need in the Cocalico School District. REAL Life has been working to make northern Lancaster County a better place to live and raise children.

100 Years Ago
Historical Events From January 1925
The month of January has been home to many historical events over the years. Here’s a look at some that helped to shape the world in January 1925.
• Christiania, the capital city of Norway, is renamed “Oslo” on January 1.
• Nellie Tayloe Ross is inaugurated as the Governor of Wyoming on January 5, becoming the first woman elected to a gubernatorial office in United States history.
• Bhanupratap Deo is proclaimed as the new Raja of the princely state of Kanker within British India on January 8. The 3yearold would rule until 1947, when the princely states are abolished as India gains its independence.
• The British submarine HMS L24 sinks in the English channel on January 10. The submarine had collided with the Royal Navy battleship HMS Resolution, killing all 43 men aboard the L24.
• Joseph Stalin fires Leon Trotsky as Commissar for Military and Navy Affairs on January 15. A prominent critic of Stalin, Trotsky is eventually murdered at his home in Mexico City by a Stalinist agent in 1940.
• “The Gentleman Bandit” Gerald Chapman is arrested in Muncie, Indiana on January 18. Chapman is apprehended thanks in part to informant Ben Hance, who is murdered in August in a killing that is believed to have been performed as retaliation for Chapman’s incarceration.
• Curtis Welch, the only doctor in Nome, Alaska, sends an urgent message via radio telegram on January 22. The message alerts all major Alaskan towns of an impending outbreak of diphtheria, while a second message sent to the U.S. Public Health Service in Washington, D.C. highlights the desperate need for antitoxin. Roughly 300,000 units of antitoxin are discovered in Anchorage on January 26, temporarily containing the epidemic.
• Paul Newman is born in Shaker Heights, Ohio, on January 26.
Loyal Christian Benefit Association Supports Non-Profits
Shopping News Photo by Donald Reese
The local chapter of the Loyal Christian Benefit Association (Chapter 1557) proudly announces that, due to the generosity of many local businesses and the support community members and patrons, in 2024 they were able to donate over $14,550 to dozens of local nonprofits. Recipients included fire companies, ambulance associations, homeless shelters, women’s and children’s organizations and many others. The donations are made possible with proceeds from card parties, Redner’s grocery receipt rewards, the annual Bingo and matching funds awarded by LCBA’s home office. In the past seventeen years the branch has been able to disburse over $100,000 to positively impact our communities. In addition to their fund raising efforts, members also volunteer numerous hours to a variety of projects that enhance the lives of others. The local branch’s motto is, “Love God. Embrace Others. Impact Community.” New members are always welcome. Meetings are held at The Udder Choice Ephrata, on the third Tuesday of each month. Dinner is at 5:30 p.m. with the business meeting beginning at 6:30 p.m. Most meetings feature an informative speaker from a local charitable organization. For more information, call 7179894555.

The Wander Fund Scholarship
The Wander Fund Scholarship, a new initiative designed to support Ephrata High School graduates in their pursuit of lifechanging travel experiences, is set to open for applications in late January 2025. The Wander Fund Scholarship aims to encourage graduating seniors to embrace travel as a means of personal enrichment.
The first annual scholarship, valued at $1,000, will be awarded in May 2025 to a graduating senior who demonstrates a passion for travel and the desire to develop a greater understanding of global issues and a deeper appreciation for cultural and ecological diversity.
The Wander Fund Scholarship was established by Ephrata Class of 2003 alumnae, Heidi Hynd (nee Horst) in honor of her grandparents, John and Carolyn Horst, and her aunt, Sally Wise. All three were avid worldwanderers who understood the transformative power of travel.
John Horst retired as an Emeritus Professor from Millersville University and his wife Carolyn was an elementary teacher in Ephrata. Together, they travelled the world for more than 50 years. An Akron native, Sally Wise taught German at
Ephrata High School and helped facilitate student exchanges between Ephrata and their sister city, Eberbach, Germany, until her passing in 2024.
“I wanted to create a scholarship that affords Ephrata grads an opportunity I didn’t have until adulthood.
Honoring their legacies in this way seems fitting,” said Heidi. Heidi’s own journey of meeting her husband in Brisbane, Australia, reflects the lifechanging impact travel can have. “12 years and two kids later, I’m still in sunny Queensland.”
The Horst and Wise families recognize that travel provides invaluable lessons beyond the classroom, especially for young people from rural areas, by providing unique opportunities to learn and grow, overcome challenges, form
lasting relationships and make precious memories.
Students interested in applying for The Wander Fund Scholarship will be able to submit their applications through Bold.org starting in late January 2025. The recipient will be selected based on their enthusiasm and desire for travel, and their potential to use the experience for personal and academic growth.
The application period will close in April 2025, and the winner will be announced in May 2025, with the scholarship funds made available to the recipient prior to their travel experience. The funds can be used to support a travel experience or program that will enrich the recipient’s educational and life journey.
Those wishing to support The Wander Fund Scholar
ship and make an impact for an Ephrata grad through travel, taxdeductible donations can be made online at https://bold.org/funds/thewanderfund/. Bold.org is a 501(c)(3) registered nonprofit and 100% of donations go to scholarship recipients. For more information about The Wander Fund Scholarship and how to apply, visit Bold.org.
