Early in the summer, Bischli-Gnippli, under the guidance of Bischlin-Gnipplin was able to comb through the collection of books, magazines (on folklore and linguistics), tapes and papers which he has accumulated these past 30 plus years as a result of his interest in things Pennsylvania Dutch. The chaff was discarded and the wheat was placed in better bins. One of the more interesting items to surface was a typed notebook containing 1912 Pennsylvania Dutch folk beliefs, which had been assembled by the late Dr. Alfred L. Shoemaker.
The first beliefs recorded by Dr. Shoemaker refer to infants and children. We hope our readers will find these ancient beliefs to be of interest. We know full well that not every Dutch man and woman subscribed to these beliefs, but we can be certain that some of them did. We also know that the beliefs dealing with infant baptism would have been rejected by our Mennonite friends.
Since Dr. Shoemaker gives no indication of his source for these beliefs, we have to assume that he gathered them on his field trips into the Dutch country. He probably took this small notebook with him into the field and kept adding to it as he moved from informant to informant.
It is extremely unfortunate that Dr. Shoemaker disappeared mysteriously from the local scene some fifteen years ago. No one seems to know where he is or even whether he’s still alive. Dr. Shoemaker was born in Lehigh County about 75 years ago. We know of no obituary or any
E.C. Lions Sponsored Halloween Event
Recently, on a dark eerie night, ghosts, goblins, witches, monsters, princesses, and other strange, costumed characters invaded the Reamstown Community Park where the East Cocalico Lions Club held their annual Halloween Event. All participants, young and old, enjoyed parading around the park at which time they were judged in several categories. All costumed participants received a monetary gift in addition to free hot chocolate and donuts. There was also a carved/decorated pumpkin contest where participants
were awarded prizes. One costume character, shown in the photo, warmed the hearts of every Lion Member. It’s great to see the Lions are appreciated for how they
adequate treatment of the important contributions he made to Pennsylvania German Studies. Those of our readers who knew Dr. Shoemaker personally could perform a very important service if they were to write us telling us about their encounters with Dr. Shoemaker. Eventually, we want to prepare an account of his life and deeds. ***
On August 28, two days after the first 25 folk beliefs from the Shoemaker notebook were printed in The Shopping News, a letter was addressed to us from “a concerned reader.” To this reader, these beliefs are “silly things” and as we tried to indicate above, we do not take them literally and do not expect our readers to do so. Nonetheless, they are part of our folk history. As our concerned reader indicates, few of these folk beliefs withstand the simple test of logic or common sense. Much to our chagrin, we did learn from our
“Serve.” Sponsoring this Halloween event is just one of many ways in which the East Cocalico Lions “Serves” the community and its youth.

Wreaths Across America Day
National nonprofit Wreaths Across America announced recently that Fairview Cemetery and Fairview Cemetery Annex, 101 North 4th Street, Denver, has once again joined in the mission to Remember, Honor, Teach, as an official location for 2024. This is the second year that the cemetery will participate in this national program.

concerned reader that there are still people alive who “really believe such things.”
Our reader also writes that “most of the younger generation knows better than to believe these old wives’ tales nowadays…” And the latter is exactly what BischliGnippli has been assuming from over 30 years of friendship with dialect-speaking Anabaptists in northern Lancaster County.
Those readers who know the regional variations of our dialect very well, will have observed that these folk beliefs were not recorded in Lancaster County. The spelling rather clearly points to Berks and Lehigh Counties.

started as a simple gesture of thanks that has grown into a national, yearlong movement of dedicated volunteers and communities coming together to not only remember the nation’s fallen and honor their service, but to teach the next generation about the value of freedom. This year, there will be more than 4,500 participating locations placing veterans’ wreaths on National Wreaths Across America Day –Saturday, December 14 –with more than three million volunteers coming together.
The goal for Fairview
Cemetery and Fairview Cemetery Annex is to raise enough funds to place sponsored veterans’ wreaths on the headstones of all the local heroes laid to rest there, to ensure that the individuals who served to protect the freedoms of our country never be forgotten and to bring the community together in patriotic commemoration.

in harmony and continue to explore more than one or two musical parts occurring at one time. They learn more percussion instruments beyond only one barred instrument at time. More advanced fine motor skills allow explorations with more percussion instruments. They learn to combine singing and playing percussion instruments at the same time. This group is able to collaborate to create story dramas and play more advanced games. Musical notation recognition is more formal, and solfege hand signs are incorporated. At this age, the ability to create their own music as a composer is finally attained.

How Full Is Your Assurance?
by Pastor Ricky Kurth
“For I would that ye knew what great conflict I have for you, and for them… That their hearts might be comforted… unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding…” (Col. 2:1,2).
There is nothing worse than running low on assurance! During the gas shortage of the 70s, I was traveling from Illinois to Minnesota for a fishing trip with my father, when we began to run low on fuel. As we looked for a place to fill up, we were alarmed to find that one gas station after another had posted an “Out of Gas” sign. Suddenly, all assurance that we wouldn’t find ourselves stranded along the Interstate
was gone!
While the assurance that a full tank of gas can give is a comfortable thing, the assurance of salvation is infinitely and eternally better! No wonder the Apostle Paul was willing to endure “great conflict” for the saints to whom he ministered, that their hearts might be comforted by “the full assurance” that can be ours with a proper “understanding” of how simple faith saves us in the dispensation of grace (Col. 2:1,2).
But as we rightly divide the Word of truth (II Tim. 2:15), we find that to obtain the assurance of salvation, God required more than just faith of the Hebrews. In Hebrews 10:22, for instance, we read:
“Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.”
Here we see that in a day when God required water baptism for the remission of sins (Mark 1:4; 16:16; Acts 2:38; I Pet. 3:21),
Hebrews could not enjoy “full assurance of faith” unless their bodies were “washed with pure water.” Of course! While men have always been saved by faith, when God required certain works as an expression of that faith, there could be no salvation without a performance of whatever work He required (except when this was impossible, as with the thief on the cross), and no assurance apart from that expression of faith.
We see this again in I John 3:17-19: “But whoso hath this world’s good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?… let us not love in word…but in deed and in truth. And hereby we know that we… shall assure our hearts before Him.”
Clearly, if John’s readers wanted to assure their hearts, they had to express their faith by sharing “this world’s good” (things like food and clothing) with fellow Hebrews in need of these things. Here it must be remembered that John wrote these words with the
coming Great Tribulation in view. (The Hebrew epistles were written to 1st century Hebrews to instruct them as to how to be saved and enjoy the assurance of faith, even amid the terrors of the Tribulation. Had the dispensation of grace not interrupted God’s prophetic program, these people would have lived to see that terrible time. Even after the mystery was introduced, it was thought that the Rapture would take place quickly (as Paul’s use of the word “we” in I Thessalonians 4:15,17 indicates) and that the time of Jacob’s trouble would then come upon them.) After the Beast issues his mark,
many Hebrews will find themselves unable to buy this world’s good without it (Rev. 13:17). Thus God has ordained that men seeking salvation in that day must express their faith by helping Hebrews in need (James 2:14-17 cf. Matt. 25:31-46). Under this arrangement, there can be no salvation without these works, and no assurance of salvation apart from these mandatory expressions of faith.
Nor could this brotherly benevolence be a one-time occurrence. Such charity will have to be maintained throughout the duration of the Tribulation, as we see in Hebrews 6:10,11: “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love…in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister. And we desire that every one of you do shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end.”
The words “unto the end” here help us understand the meaning of verses like Matthew 24:13, where Hebrews were told, “He that endureth to the end shall be saved.” In a day when “the love of many shall wax cold” (v. 12), true believers will maintain their love for their brethren by continuing to supply them with this world’s goods all the way to the end of the Tribulation.
Of course, this will become increasingly difficult as Daniel’s seventieth week wears on, especially since true believers will themselves be unable to buy food or clothing without taking the mark. No wonder these Hebrews are exhorted to “shew the same diligence to the full assurance of hope unto the end.” There can be no assurance of salvation in that day without continuing in these necessary expressions of faith. How then can believers
November 13
today enjoy “the full assurance” Paul described in our text? Well, notice that Paul speaks of “the full assurance of understanding” (Col. 2:2). To attain the full assurance of salvation today, in the dispensation of grace, God does not ask us to do something, He asks us to understand something. And He doesn’t leave us guessing as to what it is we must understand, for Paul goes on to talk about “the acknowledgment of the mystery” (2:2). The only way to enjoy the full assurance of faith today is to acknowledge that the mystery has introduced an era in which works are no longer required as expressions of faith. There can be no assurance of salvation without an “understanding” and an “acknowledgment” of this dispensational change.
Many suspect that the gas shortage of the 70s was manmade, designed to drive up the price of gasoline. While we know nothing of this, we do know that if you are suffering from a shortage of assurance, it is a manmade shortage, caused by men (perhaps well-meaning men) who taught you God’s Word without rightly dividing it. But we trust that the “understanding” we have shared in this article will enable you to rejoice with us in “all riches of the full assurance of understanding.”

Cocalico Alumni Support Stockings For Soldiers Program
The Cocalico Alumni Association teamed up with the Reinholds VFW to raise money for the Stockings for Soldiers program. Every year, the Keystone Military Families organization ships between 8,000 and 10,000 holiday stockings overseas to activeduty men and women. The stockings are filled with food, hygiene products and other items such as holiday decorations. Unfortunately, the international fees of shipping these stockings are very costly.
In an effort to provide monetary support for this
successful program, the Cocalico Alumni Association and the Reinholds VFW hosted a barbecue on Saturday, September 28. Pickup was available, along with an event that had fabulous food, raffle items, a DJ, games, and a bouncy house for the kids. This
year’s barbecue raised $5,000. The Alumni and the VFW want to thank all the many generous donors and sponsors that made this possible.
