MATZ

By Gladys S. Martin

En Muun vun Grabbe scheint in Matz, Glei guckt die Welt wie enanner Blatz. Die waarem Sunn schmelzt es Eis aweck, In Blatz vun Schnee sehnt mer nau yuscht Dreck. Der Matz Wind blosst kalt darich die Beem Un die Veggel kumme glei nau heem.

March

The moon of crows shines in March, Soon the earth looks like another place. The warm sun melts the ice away, In place of snow one now sees only dirt. The March wind blows coldly through the trees And the birds will now soon come home.

Maerz

By Parre Eli Keller

Heest’s emol, sis Maerz, Brecht em Winders HerzEis so hart wie Felse, Muss doch endlich schmelze: Sunneschei un waarmer Wind Aenre alles - O wie gschwind!

March

Once they say, it’s March, Winter’s heart is brokenIce as hard as rocks, Yet they must finally melt: Sunshine and warm wind Change all - O how quickly!

***

Gladys S. Martin’s cycle of poems for each month of the year reached us last September, so we are dealing with late 20th century poetry. As you will recall, we are featuring these poems each month.

This year our Deitscher Schrohhut is raised in a continuous salute to Gladys Martin!

***

By way of contrast we have been also printing the late “Parre” Eli Keller’s MONET SCHPRUECH, a cycle of poems he composed for each month of the year. We located these poems on pages 71­73 of the first volume of Daniel Miller’s anthology entitled PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN: A Collection of Pennsylvania German Productions in Poetry and Prose. The second edition of this first volume was published in Reading in 1904.

Harry Hess Reichard has the following to say about Eli Keller on pages 216-220 of his book, entitled PENNSYLVANIA GERMAN DIALECT WRITINGS AND THEIR WRITERS. This volume was published by the Pennsylvania German Society in 1918.

“Rev. Dr. Eli Keller, of Allentown, was a merry farmer boy who became a preacher, and has remained the latter, with certain characteristics of the former, to this day; born in Northampton County, near Nazareth, in 1825, before Pennsylvania had a free school system, his chances for an education were small; by the time the system came, however, he had made sufficient progress in his studies to teach a country school for several years; after this he attended Marshall College, at Mercersburg, Pa., moved with the College to Lancaster when it was united with Franklin College, and afterwards returned to the Seminary at Mercersburg to complete his theological studies. At Lancaster he made the acquaintance and formed a lifelong friendship with Henry Harbaugh, who had, however, at that time not yet developed into a dialect writer.”

“His ministerial work began in Ohio, in 1856. At first he preached in English and German, but in Ohio the German sermon fell into partial disuse sooner than in Pennsylvania; during the last part of his eighteen years’ stay in Ohio he was required to preach in English only and with this he began to long for the old home surroundings; in 1874 the way was opened to him to come back and from that time until his retirement in 1901 (27 years) he ministered to two, three and finally four congregations, himself superadding the work involved in the two additional congregation. Thus he frequently had to drive twenty­five miles on a single Sunday to meet three congregations…”

“Many of his poems are, therefore, sermonettes, pictures from nature with the lesson the preacher draws from it…”

“For a Pennsylvania German Kalenner which he edited in 1885 he wrote a longer poem in ten parts entitled “Vum Flachsbaue.” This is a veritable epic on the raising of flax in ten short cantos.”

“A number of Dr. Keller’s poems are included in the collection published by Daniel Miller, Reading, Pa. Some

“One Of The Few Things In Life That’s Free…”

•

others, as well as several prose tales, are to be found in the Allentown Friedensbote. In his younger days he wrote for the Deutsche Pioneier…”

“In addition…he has written occasional poems in English, as well as in High German, including hymns, epilogues, and prologues for Christmas and Easter festivals, birthdays and anniversaries, and one curious composition in which alternate couplets of English and Pennsylvania German rhyme with each other.”

Since Harry Hess Reichard in 1918 wrote of Eli Keller as a living writer, Keller at that time must have been over 90 years old. We do not know when Eli Keller died. In the near future we expect the publication of another anthology of Pennsylvania German literature by our friend and colleague Earl Haag. We are anticipating that Earl Haag will bring us up to date on many facts such as these.

Reichard also reported that “much of what I have presented and other material noted in the Bibliography and not further described has come direct from his own manuscript notebook and has never been published.”

Let us hope that this “manuscript notebook” has been preserved somewhere, for Reichard lists the following nine poems by Keller as still in manuscript: Aageweh, Alter Mutterklag un Trost, Christ Daag, Drucke un Heesz, Keschde Peife, Mei Kerschebaam, ‘N Buwli is ‘s, ‘S Glatt Eis Fahre, and ‘S Wetter Brecht.

We don’t know when Eli Keller wrote his MONET SCHPRUECH, but it is not unlikely that they were written at least a century before Gladys S. Martin penned her cycle of poems. So in this ECK the present meets the past - and it was a past of which we Pennsylvania Dutch can be very proud!

Biblical Message

The Paradox of Grace

By: Pastor Cornelius R. Stam

In “the gospel of the grace of God” we find a striking paradox: God Himself condemning the righteous and justifying the wicked; forsaking the perfect and helping evildoers.

Behold the spotless Lamb

on Calvary as He cries, “My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?” Judas kisses Him in base betrayal; wicked men spit in His face, mock Him, smite Him, scourge Him, crown Him with thorns and nail Him to a tree! And God, the Judge of all, does nothing to stop them! Indeed, He Himself unsheathes His sword and smites the one Person in all history who could truly say, “I delight to do Thy will, O my God.”

And this is not all, for on the other hand God saves Saul of Tarsus, Christ’s bitterest enemy, “a blasphemer, and a persecutor, and injurious,” his hands

dripping, as it were, with the blood of martyrs. To him God shows “grace…

exceeding abundant” and “all longsuffering” (I Tim. 1:13-16). Indeed, He sends

him forth to proclaim openly to all men that:

“To him that worketh not, but believeth on Him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness” (Rom. 4:5).

How can all this be right?

The answer is that the One who died in agony and disgrace at Calvary was God Himself, manifested in the flesh. There, at Calvary, “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto Himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them” (II Cor. 5:19). It was the Judge Himself, stepping down from the throne to the cross to represent the sinner and pay for him the full penalty

of his sins.

And who will say this is injustice? Injustice? It is perfect justice and more. It is grace!

Under the terms of the Law we find God “showing mercy unto thousands of them that love Me and keep My commandments” (Ex. 20:6). But grace is infinitely more: it is the riches of God’s mercy and love to “the children of disobedience…the children of wrath” (Eph. 2:2-7), paying the penalty for their sins Himself in strictest accord with perfect and infinite righteousness!

Bergstrasse Birthday Bash

Bergstrasse Lutheran Church located on Hahnstown Road Ephrata Township, has been a beacon of hope in northeastern Lancaster County since 1752twenty years after the formation of Ephrata

Cloister and the establishment of Muddy Creek Lutheran Church near Adamstown! Their rich history runs deep in the lives of many people, past and present, of the Cocalico River Valley.

During the mid-late twentieth century, Bergstrasse Church partnered with Bergstrasse Elementary School offering classroom

and cafeteria space during renovations and numerous activities and events where classroom and church spent time together building lifegiving relationships. That all changed when the school closed in 1999. Today that location is home to LCBC.

Bergstrasse Church also played a role alongside other Lutheran congregations in the creation of Ephrata Area Social Services in the early 1970s. Since the birth of EASS 50+ years ago, folks from Bergstrasse Church have served on the Board of Directors, as well as volunteered to support their work to make life easier for persons experiencing forms of poverty. Today Bergstrasse Church continues to collect non-perishable food for the Food Bank.

Today, the Bergstrasse faith community is taking steps to be messengers of love to neighbors not yet in their worship pews. They believe the Church is the people, not where they worship. They strive to see the connection between all people as a cherished gift to be nurtured for the good of the whole community. Why not begin this new venture with a Birthday Bash!

Bergstrasse Church and Ephrata Area Social Services are partnering to celebrate the Ephrata Community on the 271st anniversary of Bergstrasse Church on Sunday, May 21. You are invited to participate! The Ephrata community is asked to provide the items necessary to create a ‘birthday bag’ (disposable 9x13 baking pan, a cake mix, one can of frosting, a pack of birthday candles, and a generic birthday card) by dropping them off at EASS, Bergstrasse Church or one of the drop-off boxes in local businesses before May 20. The birthday bags will be distributed to EASS clients for their next birthday celebration.

Come join the Bergstrasse Birthday Bash at Bergstrasse Church, 9 Hahnstown Road. The day begins by gathering for worship at 10:00 a.m., a catered lunch at 11:45 a.m. (RSVP by Monday, May 15, 717-733-7808 or bergluth@ dejazzd.com) and to assemble the birthday bags at 1:00 p.m.

Gehmans Mennonite

Devin Horst

8th Grade

Devin Horst is a very athletic guy who has a good heart for people. He loves sports and anything to do with the outdoors which is why his favorite thing to do at school is P.E. He also participates in a baseball league in Brubacher Park and has a lot of fun doing it.

Once he’s done with school here, he wants to work at Good’s Feed Mill. In his spare time, he likes to practice baseball and tries to become the best he can be, and he always puts his effort into everything he does.

He attends Heritage Mennonite Church. His greatest accomplishment to date is playing and making the A team in softball at school. He admires his dad and when he grows up, he wants to be just like him. If he were allowed to pick his career, he would want to play in the Major League Baseball (MLB).

“Though she be little she is fierce,” Shakespeare wrote, and that’s the perfect way to introduce Garden Spot senior Lacey McCalicher. McCalicher’s schedule is busy. She’s part of marching band and concert band, and she’s captain of the bowling and field hockey teams. Besides school, McCalicher works part time at Yoder’s Country Market. She is a great example of how hard work gives way to opportunities.

“Outgoing, kind, thoughtful, hardworking, committed, caring, a little loud, and funny” are the words McCalicher’s close friend, Jillian Apgar, uses to describe her. The presence that McCalicher has when she walks into a room is one of her most profound characteristics: outfitted with a warm smile, an inviting wave or gesture, often filling a room with laughter.

But her most admirable trait is her self-confidence. McCalicher isn’t timid or shy; she exudes confidence and she doesn’t care what others think of her, which is something lots of teens struggle with.

(717) 354-4758

McCalicher’s plans for the future consist of going to college, either West Chester University or Lebanon Valley College, to become a high school math teacher. She is interning with Wendy Crossgrove, GS math teacher, to get experience in her future career plans.

“You aren’t dumb! You just aren’t applying yourself and you’re settling for less,” McCalicher told me in casual conversation recently. That insight indicated to me that she will be an amazing teacher, because she doesn’t push others down, but instead builds them up.

Her greatest enjoyments in life consist of hanging out with friends, doing people’s hair, and shopping for shoes.

Written by: Davia Zimmerman

“As a student, Garden Spot has taught me responsibility and how to be my own person,” she says. McCalicher’s individualistic spirit will take her far in life and will allow her to help her future students in so many ways.
