Trinity Church Notes and .Many times in my adult life I have thought how wonderful it would be to recapture those mom- ents that belonged to my youth; to read as though for the first time Lorna Doone or Kidnapped. But those are moments caught in time, held in space, briefly, sweetly. You can’t go back they say. Of course you can and I did -â€" the other ev- ening. I was passing my children's bedroom door, listening idly to my husband as he read to them. Sud- denly I was unwilling to move for Peter Pan had just flown in through the window and I waited, enchan- ted for Wendy’s query â€" “Boy, why are you crying?” It came. and I went on about my work, grinning like the Cheshire Cat. My father loved to read to us. Moreover he found the time to do it and he was a busy man. In this age of television and similar dis- tractions for both father and child reading aloud is a lost art. Fathers who have never read to their chil- dren and children who have never listened have missed an exper- ience that belongs to them because it is a part of growing up. It is a bond that strengthens daily life and it creates the reading habit, that once indulged in can never willingly be set aside. People like myself who have been reared to regard books as essential as food will never be lonely or uncom- forted. That door-between was a testa- ment of love, a gateway to truth. By the time we were eleven we had read, in this manner, Peter Pan, Kirby’s The Golden Dog, Par- ker’s Seats of Mighty, Robert Lou- is Stevenson’s Kidnapped, Treas- ure Island, David Balfour, Doyle‘s White Company, and The Great Shadow. Then came Ivanhoe, Lorna Doone, Mobey Dick, A Tale of Two Cities, The Moonstone and The Three Musketeers. ‘ The book was closed. My father rose, stretched himself and kissed us good-night. The lights were put out and the door between was closed â€" until tomorrow's night. One of the most delightful mem- ories in “this my middle age", is that of my father reading to my brother and me. Scarcer a night went by that didn’t find him sitting in his chair in the doorway be- tween our rooms. He took a little moment in-which to make himself comforable, settle his glasses on his nose and open the book at the carefully marked page. His very deliberateness prolonged the glow of anticipation and excitement. It was absolute bliss. He would stop in his reading occasionally to make sure we understood some particu- lar passage. We were allowed to interrupt with questions, but that took up precious time and we did not indulge in it too frequently. After an interval that seemed as brief as a breath, but in reality was half an‘ hour or more, my mo- ther’s voice would call up from the foot of the stairs: “What’s _the first word on the next page, Dad?” “Tlfe,’7 he said, with a twinkle in his eye. 7 “Oh,” I said. “well what’s after “Ship”, qubth he. "Ah, the ship â€"- that’s good. Don’t forget to mark the place will you “John, I think it’s time the children went to sleep.” “Yes dear,” replied my father, “right away. I’ll just finish this page.” The page was finished and I would sit up and ask â€" the 7 Mr. and Mrs. Percy Putérbaugh and daughter Ruby. have returned from a four day trip through the Best wishes for a happy birth- day go this week to Frankie Young September 3.
