Sunndaags hen sie als Trips ghat noch Nei Yarick, Filldelfi un Atlantic City.

Ich wees noch gut wu die erscht Maschiene reikumme sin uff en Reiggelweg. Sie sin kumme zum J. Frank Lutz, der Buick-Hendler. Die Maschiene hen langsam der Blatz vun de Geil iwwernumme.

En Mann hot en Maschien kaaft un is so langsam uff em Main-Schtrooss gfaahre. Not waar en gleener Hiwwel un sei Maschien hot aagfange schiddle. Bletzlich hot er gegrische: “Wo, Fan! Wo, Fan!” No hot sei Fraa gsaat, “Greisch net lang, ‘Wo, Fan!’ Schieb mol eens vun selle Liewers!”

***

Today, I want to write about the village of Stevens, where I grew up. It’s but a few miles from Ephrata. Stevens used to be the greatest small village in the world. - There was excellent service in those days. Trains passed through town. Harry DeHart was the station agent. He used to cut our hair in the station. It was very convenient for the neighborhood to send out and receive goods. - I recall when Lesher of

Reamstown got in loads of furniture and pots. There were several cigar factories, tobacco warehouses, many farms, a slaughter house, a feed mill, two stores, hardware store, a shoemaker’s shop, two hotels, an ice house, the East and West Stevens schoolhouses, a firehouse built in 1914, a sewing factory, Hershey’s creamery, a saw mill, a vegetable farm, a church, and a bicycle shop. - Those days children and women stripped tobacco at home. The cigarmakers stayed at the hotels and slept there during the week. - The railroad was used to get all kinds of things, such as phosphate, machines, feed, etc. Many trains stopped in Stevens. On Sunday, they made trips to New York, Philadelphia and Atlantic City. - I remember well when the first autos arrived by train. They came to J. Frank Lutz, the Buick dealer. The auto eventually replaced the horses. - One fellow bought an auto and slowly drove up Main Street. He came to a small incline and his car began to shake. Suddenly, he cried out, “Whoa, Fan! Whoa, Fan!” His wife said to him, “Stop Shouting ‘Wo, Fan!’ Push one of those levers!” ­ Frank Madlem bought a Chevy with a fast clutch. One Sunday afternoon they came home. He kept his car in Elam Klines tobacco shed. When he drove into the shed, the machine began to shake like everything - he drove right through the shed! - Whenever anyone bought a car it was a big thing and Silas Bard printed it in the “Denver Press.” When folks make a trip of 200 miles or longer, this would be reported in the “Press.” - One day Frank Lutz got in a load of Buicks. It was about 1926 and there was a red roadster in the batch. The roadster had red wheels and the chrome shone. This was something for Stevens. Almost everyone came out to examine the roadster. ­ Lem Showalter said, “Well, now they’ve reached the peak. No one can build anything more attractive than this car!” - I was the newspaper boy about the same time. On the first page of the newspaper was a picture of Barney Oldfield. He had just set a world record. He drove sixty miles an hour! He was dressed in a helmet, goggles, and driving clothes. When I gave Al Yedder his newspaper, he remarked, “Ei, yei, yei! A mile a minute. What’ll be next!?” ***

This week we’re digging deep into the hopper and pulling out the first part of an account of life in the neighboring city of Stevens. DER ALT BRODFRESSER gives us a report on life in Stevens just about the time Bischli-Gnippli was born in the not too distant city of Red Run.

DER ALT BRODFRESSER’s report speaks for itself. It presents a delightful and informative account of Stevens at a time when it was at the height of its economic power. Tune in next week for the conclusion.

SENATE SCENE

PA State Senator 36th State Senate District

Senate Passes Aument Bill Limiting Smartphone Use in Schools

Bill would improve student mental health, academic performance, and social skills.

HARRISBURG – The Senate passed legislation sponsored by Sen. Ryan Aument (R­36) to improve students’ mental health and academic performance by limiting their use of smartphones in schools. The bill passed by a margin of 45-5, demonstrating strong bipartisan support.

Senate Bill 1207 would establish the Cell Phone Lockable Bag Pilot Program to award grants to participating schools to purchase secure, lockable smartphone bags in which students would deposit their mobile devices until the end of the school day. The bill would then require participating schools to track certain metrics like academic performance, mental health, and instances of bullying and other behavioral issues to study the impact of a smartphone-free school on students.

“Kids spend so much time on social media and using their smartphones that it’s taking a toll on them mentally, emotionally, and academically. Smartphone restrictions have proved successful in reversing these trends,” Aument said. “Students deserve to learn without a constant distraction in their pockets, and my legislation would give them that.”

Since the early 2010s, there has been a steep decline in mental health in children, and their academic performance is suffering. This decline directly correlates to the rise of smartphones and social media apps.

“Last year alone, the commonwealth provided $100 million in new funding to schools to care for their students’ mental health. While we continue to provide resources to help students in need of mental health services, we must also target one of the root causes of our children’s mental distress: widespread access to smartphones and social media apps,” Aument said.

Senate Bill 1207 would also require schools participating in the program to include exemptions in their smartphone use policy for students who have a documented medical condition – such as diabetes – that requires the use of a smartphone.

The bill now moves to the House of Representatives for consideration.

Supernatural Motivation

Part 2

Author: Wenger

Scripture verse: Colossians 3:23, 24. - “Whatever you do… do it heartily, as to the Lord not man. Knowing that from the Lord you will receive the reward of inheritance for you serve the Lord Christ.”

In our previous lesson, we discussed the quality of our work, no matter what the task may be. The verse under consideration commands that we do everything heartily, striving for excellence. Paul now moves from the how we should conduct our daily routine, to the why we should do everything heartily… our motivation.

The directive on motivation is: “as to the Lord NOT man.” The purpose for excellence in all deeds is worship. It is to be a gift back to The Lord; not to be noticed, acclaimed or to receive the accolades of man. The Pharisees were well known for this behavior. Matthew 23:5, 6 declares, “They do all their deeds to be noticed by men They love the place of honor at banquets and the chief seats in the synagogues.” Simon is another example. When he saw the apostles laid their hands upon the new believers to receive the Holy Spirit, he wanted this power as well. Peter rebuked him saying, “you have no part in this matter because your heart is not right before God.” What is in our heart matters… God cares about our motives. Proverbs 16:2 says, “all of a person’s ways seem pure to them but our motives are weighed by the Lord.”

Ananias and Sapphira demonstrated just how deadly bad motives can be. They sold their land and kept back part of the

proceeds, which was not a sin or problem as Peter stated. The sin was in pretending to give all of the money and lying before the congregation and to the Lord. The deed seemed noble on the outside… on the surface… but where God sees, under the surface deep within, the motive was sour and one after another, when confronted, they died on the spot.

When Samuel was picking Israel’s king, even he was looking on the outward appearance. God had to tell Samuel, “Do not look at his appearance or at the height of his stature, because I have rejected him; for God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” (1 Samuel 16:7).

Even in our prayer life, motive matters. James 4:3 says, “You ask and do not receive because you ask with wrong motives so that you may spend it on your pleasure.” Motives matter, even in our giving. 2 Corinthians 9:7 says, “Each one must do just as he has

purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.” It’s better to give less with a good motive and be joyful about it, than to give more and under outward pressure to be noticed. The heart (motive) matters with God. Hebrews 4:12 states, “For the word of God is living and active and sharper than any two-edged sword, and piercing as far as the division of soul and spirit, of both joints and marrow, and able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” If the word of God is able to reveal our true motives, certainly it matters to God. God examines our heart motive in 1 Thessalonians 2:4 - “so we speak, not as pleasing men, but God who examines our hearts.” Motives matter. So, in summary, we need to do everything heartily (with excellence) and with the correct motive “as unto The Lord NOT unto man.” Next week, we look at the benefit of doing every task as “unto the Lord.”
