Lions Help “Serve” Their Community

Casey Ellis, Executive Director of Ephrata Area Social Services was starting to worry. Inflation and the increase cost of food prices, gas, oil, and other utilities have caused their client numbers to double and their shelves were empty. Just in time, five local Lions Clubs joined together and demonstrated what their motto of “We Serve” means.

These clubs, East Cocalico, Denver, Ephrata, Baron Stiegel and Akron held a food drive and came to Casey’s rescue by asking shoppers at four local grocery stores to purchase at least one non-perishable item and give that item or items to a Lion as they left the store. Over a two-day period, they collected an astounding 350 boxes of food, along with $3,000 in cash, for the Ephrata Area Social Services (E.A.S.S.) and its food bank. This is over six tons of food! The food that was collected from this drive will allow E.A.S.S. to make it through the winter. Lion Charles Holsey, from the East Cocalico Lions organized and coordinated this great event.

Each time the Lions hold a food drive like this, many of the members come away with amazing stories of the generosity of the shoppers. One of many examples from this past food drive happened at Weaver Markets. A father and his young son came to pick up a few groceries. They questioned what was happening and it was

explained to them the Lions were collecting for the Food Bank at E.A.S.S. and that their shelves were empty. They came back after shopping and gave them an overflowing cart of food and toiletries. The neat thing about it was that the son insisted and wanted to pick and decide what to get. This young man is pictured here standing in front of the cart of food that was given.

All five Lions Clubs would like to thank the participating stores, and especially all those who generously contributed to this drive. Without you, these Lions could not have accomplished what they did.

For more information about these local clubs or how you can help, call 717336-5311.

“Pieces From The Past” -

Featuring The Terre Hill Historical Society

“Pieces From The Past” continues this week, featuring the Terre Hill Historical Society. In this weekly article, Shopping News readers will learn about local items housed in local museums and historical societies.

Shown in the photo are ribbons from numerous fraternal organizations that existed in the Terre Hill area in the 1900s. Examples of these groups include: The Knights of the Ancient Order of the Mystic Chain, The Patriotic Order Sons of America and The Independent Order of Odd Fellows.

The Knights of the Ancient Order of the Mystic Chain were a secret society in the United States in the late nineteenth century.

Founded by Freemasons in 1871, the group had a strong Masonic influence in its rituals and degrees, as well as incorporating elements from the Bible. The Patriotic Order Sons of America is an American patriotic fraternal organization that traces its origins to the anti-alien riots of the 1840s. Founded in 1847 in Philadelphia, the organization once had “camps” (chapters) in 20 states. At its peak, there were more than 600 camps

for free computer and job searching help. They’ll help you get on track to improve your computer skills and help with your job search! Funded through a grant from

nationwide. Today, the society maintains a presence only in Pennsylvania, where it has 14 camps. The national headquarters are in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania. The Independent Order of Odd Fellows (IOOF), evolving from earlier Orders of Odd Fellows, was first founded in England during the 1700s.

The IOOF is a non-political and non-sectarian co-ed international fraternal order founded in 1819 by Thomas Wildey in Baltimore, Maryland.

Die Farewich Mudderschprooch

by Gladys S. Martin

Es sin so ordlich Dinge

In de Deitsche Mudderschprooch, As e bissli gschpassich laude, Wann mer schtoddiet hinne nooch.

Mer saagt so Dinge gwehnlich Un mer denkt net even draa. Uscht harich nau zu was ich saag, Vielleicht muscht lache aa!

Wann ich en nochberlich Schtick dann duh Fer freindlich sei zu Leit, Dann saage sie, “Ich schmeiss en Schtee In dei Gaarde moll some Zeit.”

Was wett ich mit en anner Schtee? Sin blendi nau schun doh. Ich wunner, macht en anner Schtee Mich glicklich odder froh?

Wann ebbes zu viel Badder is, Dann wesch ich glei die Hend Un saag de Leit, “Du weescht, Sell’s zu viel Zucker fer en Cent!”

Un mei Daadi hot des oftmols gsaat, Wann’s widder Zeit waar fer schaffe: “Des kaaft de Bopp ken Frack.” Sell hot uns all gmacht lache.

Un wann die Kinner zu viel Yacht Gemacht hen, wie Kinner duhne, Dann hot der Pap als gsaat zu uns: “Sell is moll genunk Hoi hunne!”

“So bees sie hot net Buhne gsaat!” “Zopp an dei eegne Naas!” Die Sache laude gschpassich Un wann mer zu viel raast.

Dann is mer “schusslich” ewwe, Un sie saage glei zu dich: “Ferwas heebscht net dei Hosse? Du bischt ganz newich dich!”

Mer benaamt so viel so Sache, As en Deel vum Kareber is: “Er schpitzt die Ohre; ihr Naas is zu katz!” “Er hot langi Finger, gewiss!”

“Er hot Gnepp hinnech de Ohre,” Wann er wennich nixnutzich is, Un’s “noch net drucke hinnich de Ohre,” Wann er yung un unschuldich is.

Un “ich geh iwwer der Damm,”

Wann ich wunnerbaar verschtaunt bin;

Un es nemmt “bis die Kieh heem kumme,” Wann ich ordlich lang waard fer en Ding.

Sis vielleicht “en Haas in de Peffer,”

Un vielleicht “en Mick in der Mehl,”

Un ich saag, “Geh, badder die Katz!” Wann ich leedich bin Kinner-Gegweel.

Ebmols “schtreckt mer eem nooch de Deck,” Wann’s Geld in de Sack is all fatt; Un “sell glaabt der Jecky Keller net!” Is noch so en alder Schpruchwatt.

So sehscht du die Mudderschprooch farewich Un du sehscht as des Deitsch hebt viel Gschpass; So loss uns so Rede net vergesse, En Hatz gschpiert so gut wann mer lacht.

The Colorful Mother-Tongue

There are many things

In this German mother-tongue That sound a bit strange, If one reflects on the matter.

One says these things habitually And one does not even think about it. Just listen now to what I say, Maybe you’ll have to laugh too!

If I do a neighborly deed To be friendly to folks, They say, “I’ll throw a stone In your garden sometime.”

What would I want with another stone? There are plenty here already. I wonder, would another stone Make me lucky or happy?

When something is too much trouble, Then I soon wash my hands And say, “You know That’s too much sugar for a cent!”

And my father often said, When it was time to go back to work: “This won’t buy the baby a dress,” This made us all laugh.

(Originally published in the July 31, 1985 issue of The Shopping News)

And when the children made Too much noise, as children do, Father used to say to us:

“You have enough hay down now!”

“So angry she couldn’t say ‘Beans!’” “Tug at your own nose!”

These expressions sound strange And if you rush about too much.

Then one is just clumsy, And they soon say to you:

“Why don’t you hold your pants?”

“You are besides yourself!”

One names so many things, That are part of the body:

“He points his ears; her nose is too short!”

“He has long fingers for sure!”

“He has lumps behind his ears,” If he has been naughty, And “not yet dry behind the ears,” If he is young and innocent.

And ‘I’ll go over the dam,” When I am very surprised; And it takes “till the cows come home,” If I wait a long time for something.

Perhaps there is “rabbit in the pepper,” And maybe “a fly in the flour,” And I say, “Go bother the cat!” When I am tired of children nagging.

Sometimes “one stretches oneself according to the cover,” When ones pocket money is gone; And “not even Jake Keller believes that!” Is another old proverb.

So you see the mother-tongue colorful And you see German is fun; So let’s not forget our speech, A heart feels so good when one laughs. ***

In DIE FAREWICH MUDDERSCHPROOCH, Gladys S. Martin has utilized old sayings that she has heard in the dialect. She wrote to us on March 5, “I know there are poems in the dialect using Pennsylvania German proverbs. I do enjoy the proverbs very much, but I wanted to try something different.”

Gladys is wondering how many of these old sayings and expressions are familiar to us? She continues, “Some I imagine are widespread, while others are quite probably just local sayings. I think the one about ‘Jecky Keller’ is probably a local one. But it was used very often when I was a child. It would be interesting to hear other old halfforgotten Pennsylvania Dutch sayings that other readers might remember.”

We are again indebted to Gladys S. Martin for an original poem and for her suggestion that other readers share their memories of similar sayings and expressions with us.

LIEWI LESER! Take out a few minutes of your time and jot down some of the sayings and expressions in the dialect which come to mind as you reread DIE FAREWICH MUDDERSPROOCH - and then mail them to us, so we can share them with all of our readers! (It always helps if you give them in Dutch, then in English.)

So, a final salute with unser Deitscher Schtrohhut to Gladys Martin of Glenwood Drive, do in Effredaa!

Be Sure of What’s Pure!

by Pastor Ricky Kurth

“Unto the pure all things are pure…” (Titus 1:15).

Boy, a verse like that sure begs the questions, “Who are these pure people, and why are all things pure for them?”

Well, the word “pure” just means “clean,” as we see

when Solomon asked, “Who can say, I have made my heart clean, I am pure from my sin?” (Pr. 20:9).

The answer to this rhetorical question is that none of us can make our heart clean! That’s why we need God to save and purify us. So when sinners believe the gospel, God saves them by His grace, “purifying their hearts by faith” (cf. Acts 15:9)—so much so that Paul could tell even the carnal Corinthians that they were “washed” clean because they were saved (I Cor. 6:11).

That means the “pure” people in our text are saved people. But when Paul says that “all things are pure” unto the pure, it doesn’t take

a Bible scholar to know that he can’t be saying that sinful things are pure for saved people.

No, in the context, Paul is telling Titus how to deal

Independent - Fundamental Soul Winning

with “vain talkers…of the circumcision” (Titus 1:10), unsaved Jews who were teaching the “vain jangling” of the Law (cf. I Tim. 1:6,7). These teachers of the law

were probably insisting that certain meats were “unclean” for the pure because the law said they were (Lev. 11:4-8 etc.). For nearly 1500 years, Jews under the law would not eat impure foods.

Of course, Gentiles who were not under the law would eat anything. That’s one of the reasons the Lord called the Gentiles “dogs” (Mt. 15:26), for a dog will eat anything! Your dog might be a fussy eater, but even he will eat anything if he is hungry enough.

But today, in the dispensation of grace, we are all “baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles” (I Cor. 12:13). That means when our apostle Paul says that “we are not under

law, but under grace” (Rom. 6:15), even Jewish believers are free to eat meats that God once classified as unclean.

That’s why Paul wrote that “commanding to abstain from meats” (I Tim. 4:3) is one of the many “doctrines of devils” that we should avoid (v. 1). If you take a doctrine that God gave specifically to people in one dispensation and impose it on people in another dispensation, it becomes a doctrine of devils.

When Paul added that “every creature of God is good, and nothing to be refused” (v. 4), that’s just another way of saying, “unto the pure all things are pure.”

The apostle expressed this truth again when he wrote,

Pastor Phil Shober

“…the kingdom of God is not meat and drink all things indeed are pure” (Rom. 14:17,20).

Had Paul written those words during Old Testament times, someone would have steered him to Leviticus 11 and reminded him that the kingdom of God did involve meat and drink under the law. Then they would have led him out to be stoned for saying otherwise!

I know there are many who insist that unclean meats are still impure for the pure, but the only reason God pronounced certain foods unclean was to teach the Jews that certain people were unclean—the unsaved Gentiles (Lev. 20:24,25). We know that Peter understood this, for after the Lord told him he could eat unclean meats (Acts 10:9-16), he said about the Gentiles, “God hath shewed me that I should not call any man common or unclean” (Acts 10:28).

So to say that certain meats are unclean today under grace is to say that the Gentiles are still unclean, and God says otherwise. It’s better to agree with Him when He says, “unto the pure all things are pure.”

Now would somebody please pass the bacon!

Anna May (Kobige) Berrang

Anna May (Kobige) Berrang, 83, of Denver, PA, and formerly of New Philadelphia, PA, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, November 23, 2022, after a courageous battle with cancer at the St. Francis Home in Shillington, PA.

Born on January 29, 1939, in St. Clair, PA, she is the daughter of the late Joseph and Clementine (Machay) Kobige.

Anna May was a 1956 graduate of the St. Clair Area High School. She began her career as the Secretary to the Budget office at the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. She was married to the love of her life, Johnny, for

57 years. They were together for a total of 65 years. They first met at a dance hall in Pottsville, where she quite literally swept him off his feet. When she became a mother, she devoted her life to caring for her family as the perfect homemaker. Anna May was the family chef. She made every home cooked meal feel like Thanksgiving. She was a talented dancer, gifted seamstress, and avid reader.

Her favorite thing to do was spend time with her family. She loved taking family trips to the beach at Stone Harbor and sending encouraging cards to all she loved, with messages better than Hallmark could write. We were never surprised to hear that she made a new friend wherever she went. Anna May radiated joy. She had a laugh and smile that lit up the room. She had a deep faith in God and a strong affection for the Blessed Mother Mary. Her family was her greatest treasure. After becoming a grandmother, she enjoyed working in the cafeteria at the Cocalico School District, following her grandchildren through the school system.

Anna May is survived by her loving husband, John Berrang, of Denver, PA, and formerly of New Philadelphia, PA; her two daughters, Nancy (Berrang) Weinhold and her husband, Steven, of Reamstown, PA,

The Ephrata-Reading Elks will host

and Bridget L. (Berrang)

Aschenbrenner and her husband, Steven, of Mechanicsburg, PA; two sisters, Florence Leddy and her husband Robert, of Pottsville, PA, and Helen Marie Melochick and her husband Marty, of Pottsville, PA; five grandchildren, Maegan Weinhold, of Washington, DC, Matthew Weinhold, of Belcamp, MD, Kayleigh Baker, of Mechanicsburg, PA, Allie Aschenbrenner, of Mechanicsburg, PA, and Lauren Ashenbrenner, of Mechanicsburg, PA; and numerous nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by three brothers, Francis, Joseph, and Robert, and one sister, Elizabeth.

A mass of Christian burial will be held at 11:00 A.M. on Wednesday, November 30, 2022, in the Holy Cross Catholic Church, 99 N. Valley St, New Philadelphia, PA, with Father Christopher Zelonis as Celebrant. A viewing will be held in the church on Wednesday from 10:00 A.M. until the time of the mass. Burial will be held following the mass in Holy Family Cemetery, New Philadelphia, PA. Thomas J. Bartashus Funeral Home, New Philadelphia, PA, has been entrusted with funeral arrangements.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the St. Francis Home, 144 Hillside Dr., Shillington, PA 19607.
