DIE

MUDDERSCHPROOCH IS AM VERSCHWINNE

By Gladys S. Martin

Des Pennsilfaanisch-deitsche Schprooch, Des schteht vielleicht in der Gfaahr. Ya, unser Mudderschprooch is net So rein as wie davor.

Ich wees beschur as noch viel Leit Des Deitsch hoch eschtimiere, Awwer harich zu de menschde, Wie sie Deitsch un Englisch riehre.

Die Englische Wadde schleiche nei, Wie Dieb, so eens bei eens.

Sie schtehle unser deitsche Schprooch, Es gross Watt un es gleens.

Naddierlich gebt’s viel Wadde heit

As nei sin un aa fremmWadde net in der deitsche Schprooch As mer glannt hen vun de Memm.

Wadde, so wie Telephone, Radio un Actor, Typewriters un Stereos, Planes un Chiropractor.

Awwer ich schwetz net vun der Satt Wadde, Die gehne so mit nei, Verzoddelt darich unser SchproochMer nemmt’s in Acht net, glei.

Awwer’s sin noch blendi Wadde Im Deitsche, bekannt zu eem, Viel gude dietsche Wadde, As mer glannt hen als daheem.

Yuscht darich die Yaahre heert mer As die dietsche Wadde vergehne.

Sie sin verlore vun de Schprooch, Weil Leit vum Englische lehne.

Mit so viel Englisch neigeriehrt, Dann wunnert mer ferwas, Mir so viel Deitsch vergesse hen

Sin mir vielleicht zu lass?

Ferwas saage deel Leit “Christmas,” Wann’s alt Watt “Grischtdaag” is?

Deel saage “paint” fer “Fareb,” Un “peanuts” fer “Grundniss.”

Deel saage “sink” for “Schpielbank,”

Un die Daage vun de Woch

Heert mer oft gsaat in EnglischLeit wisse besser doch.

Ferwas saage deel Leit “different,” Wann sie “unnerschittlich” meene?

Sie saage’s “baby” hot yo “tears.” Es sett “Bobbli” sei un “Drehne.”

Un noch so gleene Wadde

So wie “awwer” odder “deel,”

Sin ebmols gsaat in Englisch, “But” un “some” noch, meiner Seel!

Die Wadde laude gschpassich, Wann mer Deitsch am schwetze sin.

Doch heert mer so Sach meh un meh: Deitsch mit viel Englisch drin.

Vun dem sin mir all schuldich!

Ich zehle mich gut dabei.

Vun Englisch Wadde lehne Sin kens vun uns ganz frei.

Wann mir net achtsam sin, Dann, is des Deitsch glei grunne Wie Wasser darich en grosser Sieb, Un’s Deitsch is ganz verschwunne!

So wann mir Deitsch dann schwetze, Lass uns all hatt browiere

Die alde deitsche Wadde net Vun unser Schprooch verliere!

February 3 & 4, 1987

Our Mother Tongue Is Disappearing Our Pennsylvania Dutch speech Is perhaps in danger. Yes, our month tongue is not As pure as heretofore.

I know surely that many people

Appreciate highly our Dutch speech, But listen to the majority How they mix Dutch with English.

The English words sneak in, Like thieves, one by one. They steal our German tongue, The big words and the small.

Naturally there are many words today That are new and strangeWords not in the Dutch language That we learned from Mother.

Words, like telephone, Radio and actor, Typewriters and stereos, Planes and chiropractor.

But I don’t speak of these words, They go along in, Scattered through our speechSoon one takes no note of it.

But there are still many words In Dutch, familiar to one, Many good German words, That we learned at home.

But through the years one hears That the Dutch words disappear. They are lost from the language, Because folks borrow from the English.

With so much English mixed in, One wonders why, We have lost so much DutchAre we perhaps too careless?

Why do some folks say “Christmas,” When the old word is “Grischtdaag?”

Some say “paint” for “Fareb,” And “peanuts” for “Grundniss.”

Some say “sink” for “Schpielbank,” And the days of the week One often hears said in EnglishYet people know better.

Why do some folks say “different,” If they mean “unnerschittlich?”

They say the baby has tears. It should be “Bobbli” and “Drehne.”

And some more little words Such as “awwer” or “deel,”

A collection

“Deitsch Eck” columns from past issues of e Shopping News honoring the late C. Richard Beam.

And sometimes said in English, “But” and “some,” by gosh!

These words sound funny, When one speaks Dutch. Still, one hears such things more and more: Dutch with a great deal of English. Of this we all are guilty!

I include myself in this. Of borrowing English words None of us is completely free. If we are not careful, Then our Dutch will soon have leaked out Like water through a large sieve, And the Dutch will have quite disappeared!

So when we speak Dutch, Let us try hard Not to let the old Dutch words Become lost from our speech! ***

This week we are delighted to share with our SHOPPING NEWS readers a recent poem by Gladys S. Martin of Ephrata, Route 3. Even though Gladys mailed DIE MUDDERSCHPROOCH IS AM VERSCHWINNE last February, it did not go into the hopper until a second copy

reached us in mid-April. It appears that the United States mails did not do their job in this case. We thank Gladys for her patience and understanding.

DIE MUDDERSCHPROOCH IS AM VERSCHWINNE speaks for itself. Gladys has also sent us a prose article on the same topic. We will print it in a later ECK. As Gladys wrote on April 10, “I hope no one will take offense. I would not want to hurt anyone’s feelings.”

We share Gladys’ feelings, for it was at our suggestion that Gladys wrote on this subject.

We are anxious to hear from many of our SHOPPING NEWS readers! What are your feelings? Do you consider this infiltration of English words and expressions into our MUDDERSCHPROOCH to be a dangerous thing? Let’s have a straw vote!

PLEASE send us a postal card or a short letter telling us your views! Is our the last generation to be speaking Pennsylvania Dutch? Are any of you readers concerned at all?

steadying word of assurance and a strong call to endure to the church in every age. The study will include a workbook with homework, group discussion and a DVD and will be led by Martha Hess. There is a cost for the workbook, with video access included, and they will be provided at the first session.

Many Infallible Proofs

by Dr. Arthur Birkby

Continued from last week’s issue.

Mathematics is regarded as the purest of the sciences, and the value of the Greek letter “pi” as approximately 3.1416 is recognized as a basic numerical constant throughout the universe as well as a function of geometry. How easy it would have been for an author of one of the Bible’s books to err in recording some data involving mathematical computations. Only God’s inspired authorship, however, prevented any such thing from happening.

In I Kings 7:23 is given a description of the huge water reservoir in the temple used for ceremonial washings. We are told that the basin was 10 cubits, or about 15 feet, in diameter and 30

cubits in circumference. Technically, using the value of “pi,” this should be 31.416 cubits rather than 30. But in verse 26 we learn that the basin was a “hand breadth” thick, or about three inches thick, which would make the inside circumference 30 cubits as the Bible says. Even the most nit­picky critic should be impressed with this evidence of Biblical accuracy.

Luke, in Acts 17:6, refers to a city official by using the Greek term, “Politarch.” This term has never before been found in Greek literature, so Bible critics have pointed out what seemed to be an invention by Luke. In the year 1835, an arch in Thessalonica was discovered with the term “Politarch” inscribed on it, and the Apostle Paul was in Thessalonica at the time of which Luke was writing. In 1867 the arch was destroyed, but the block containing the word “Politarch” was rescued and is now in the British museum. My wife, son, and I saw the display of Greek memorabilia when we visited the museum, but unfortunately we did not

take note of this particular piece of stone. Incidentally, since the discovery in 1835, this same description has been found on 16 other monuments in various other localities in Greece.

In summary, all of the foregoing examples—which hardly scratch the surface— demonstrate the uncanny, inexplicable accuracy and complete reliability of God’s Word. The Lord Jesus Christ Himself in John 17:17 said that God’s Word is Truth. In John 10:35 the Savior says the Scriptures cannot be broken; and Matthew 5:18 quotes the Lord as saying that the smallest letter (which is iota in Greek) or the least stroke of a pen (referring to the minuscule embellishments added to the Hebrew alphabet) would not disappear as long as there was a heaven and an earth. The Bible teaches that there will be a heaven and an earth forever.

Let me conclude by suggesting that whenever we are confronted with presumably authoritative opinions that seem to be at variance with what one reads in our Bible, we take to heart

the Apostle Paul’s words found in his first letter to the Corinthians. He triumphantly declares, “I know very well how foolish it sounds to those who are lost, when they hear that Jesus died to save them. But we who are saved recognize this message as the very power of God. For God says, ‘I will destroy all human plans of salvation no matter how wise they seem to be, and ignore the best ideas of men, even the most brilliant of them.’” So what about these wise men, these scholars, these brilliant debaters of this world’s great affairs? God has made them all look foolish, and shown their wisdom to be useless nonsense. For God in His wisdom saw to it that the world would never find God through human brilliance, and then He stepped in and saved all those who believed His message, which the world calls foolish and silly…This so-called ‘foolish’ plan of God is far wiser than the wisest plan of the wisest man, and God in His ‘weakness’—Christ dying on the Cross—is far stronger than any man. Amen and amen.

* On August 12, 2014, actress Lauren Bacall -whose debut film in 1944, “To Have and Have Not” (also featuring future husband Humphrey Bogart), brought her nearly instant fame -- died in New York City at 89. Bacall’s notable career spanned almost seven decades and included “The Big Sleep” (1946), “How to Marry a Millionaire” (1953) and “The Mirror Has Two Faces” (1996).

* On August 13, 1906, the all-Black infantrymen of the U.S. Army’s 25th Infantry Regiment were accused of killing a white bartender and wounding a white police officer in Brownsville, Texas, despite evidence of their innocence. All were dishonorably discharged. However, a later military investigation exonerated the men and their records were restored to reflect honorable discharges, but no financial settlements were paid.

* On August 14, 1948, the Idaho Department of Fish and Game’s “beaver drop” relocation program moved 74 of the animals from Northwestern Idaho to the

Chamberlain Basin in Central Idaho via parachutes from an airplane, after complaints about property damage from residents.

* On August 15, 1995, Shannon Faulkner became the first female cadet matriculated at The Citadel, under the escort of U.S. Marshals, but dropped out within a week, citing emotional and psychological abuse and physical exhaustion. Four years later, she told the Associated Press: “I went into it knowing I may not get anything out of it. I was doing it for the next woman.”

* On August 16, 1858, President James Buchanan inaugurated the new transatlantic telegraph cable by exchanging greetings with England’s Queen Victoria. Just a few weeks afterward, however, a weak signal forced a shutdown of the service.

* On August 17, 1969, Hurricane Camille arrived at Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, with winds estimated between 150 and 205 mph and 70-foot waves. One of a few category 5 hurricanes to make landfall in the last 70 years, it was responsible for the deaths of nearly 300 people and the destruction of thousands of homes in Alabama, Mississippi, Virginia and Louisiana.

President Ryan Myers will serve a second term as President and Michael Morris, 1st Vice President, will be in charge of the food stand at the Ephrata Fair.

Awards were given out to four outstanding members. Two Melvin Jones awards were given to Sarah Shirk and to Craig Beamesderfer who were selected by the club members for their many hours of service to the club.

Melvin Jones started the Lions Clubs in 1917 and the award is named after him.

A 30-year member of the club, Lion Don Good was selected for the Lion of the Year award and has been a faithful member all those years. Lion Frank Wolf received the Excellence award for his work with the
