Pilgrim Goes Visiting
L. Neitzel, Murdock Pilgrim, made
an enjoyable trip to Kansas City,
where he remained from October 21
tc 23. Friday evening he attended
the horse and cattle show, and Sat
urday enjoyed a drive over the city,
viewing the developments of the last
twenty years. He was particularly
impressed with' the shaded residen
tial streets, with their rows of beau
tiful elm trees. Saturday evening he
paid a visit to the Bavarian "Rath
skeller," where patrons are enter
tained with music and song. Bavar
ian yodlers sing in their own dia
lect and the audience sing their Ger
man songs, ate and drank to a late
hour.
Sunday morning found the Mur
dock Pilgrim in Central Presbyter
ian church, taking part in a men's
class in Sunday school, where total
attendance exceeded 700. The men's
class numbered about 60, all over
60 years old. The great auditorium,
seating over 1,000 people, was. fill
ed for the uplifting service that stir
red the people to the depths of their
souls, although the sermon lasted
only 20 minutes.
The greeting strangers get is ex
pressed in their bulletin, like this:
"You enter this church, not as a
stranger, but as a guest of God."
Evening found Mr. Neftzel in an
Italian cafe, where he attempted to
eat spaghetti with a fork (try and
see if you can do it you push the
fork into the heap and begin to turn
and twist until you have a good
mouthful secured, then eat it). Mr.
Neitzel says he doesn't know what
was in the bottles on the shelves
that is used to wash it down with,
ai he used milk and water.
Another interesting trip was that
tc the airport to see the big air
liners come and depart. The increase
ii air travel has made the airports
resemble busy railway stations in the
old days before autos replaced much
of the rail business.
Mr. Neitzel enjoyed his trip and
says traveling is a great school, if
cne keeps his eyes open, broadening
the horizon of observation and en
riching the mind, as well-as leaving
pleasant memories, which he cher
ishes of his three day journey.
