Los Angeles Times
GLENDORA, Oct. 25. — Mayor Earl Comstock tonight paid tribute to Rev. Henry Scott Rubel as community leaders and parish members gathered at a testimonial supper program to celebrate the fifth anniversary of he script-writing cleric's pastorship at Glendora's now famous Grace Church.
When Mr. and Mrs. Rubel came to this town in 1935 this church had been for several months without a minister. The congregation totaled 11 the first two services and there were but four children in the Sunday school class.
Today the parish numbers 189 families and the Sunday-school attracts 95 children. In his spare time during the last five years Mr. Rubel has built up a national reputation as a comic radio writer and composer.

Rev. Henry Scott Rubel, Rector

Sermon Subject: “The letter killeth, but the Spirit giveth Life." Today with the threat of war the disaster ministers are warping the literal interpretation of the Bible to act as a prophesy of our times. this has been done during every world crisis. The Bible is misused to prove that God will destroy mankind. God does not destroy—He creates. God builds and man destroys. If anything is willfully destroyed upon this earth you will find that the ignorance, carelessness or malice of mankind is to blame for that destruction. God does not send us to any hell, God tries to save us and we destroy. God tries to help us and we hinder one another. It is only when man becomes God-controlled that he creates, builds, saves, helps and lives. The literal interpretation of the Bible kills—it kills unity among Christians, it kills tolerance and understanding among congregations and nations, but the Spirit of Love, Faith, Hope, Grace, Charity, Wisdom and Temperance—the Spirit of God in this world—gives Life—"and life more abunantly."

Life in the citrus-growing community of Glendora returned to normal this week after a brief flurry last Thursday and Friday when "Ferdinand Zinz" and his "California Consolidated Mutual Independent Sunshine Cull Corporation" threatened to turn the entire citrus industry upside down.
The near-catastrophe occurred in the presentation of the hilarious musical comedy, "See What I Mean?" which played to capacity audiences in the Glendora Theatre last Thursday afternoon and Thursday and Friday nights.
Albert Bernhardt; as Ferdinand Zinz, brought a host of new ideas regarding citrus culture to Glendora while portraying the featured role in the story written by Henry Scott Rubel and Jean Peyton but reason finally prevailed and it was agreed that the citrus industry was progressing steadily and would survive without the aid of the Zinz Ideas.
Scores of prominent Southland personalities in the stage, screen and radio world turned out for the Performances and enjoyed the story and music which was written by Rev. Rubel, known to the musical world as Hal Raynor.
Specialty numbers. including vocal selections and dancing chorus cts. won recognition for general excellence and the entire cast was lauded for accurate portrayals of difficult roles.
Members of the orchestra which accompanied the cast included Lois Nordblom, Joanne Crew, Carl Nordblom, Paul Brecht, Willard Pierce, Jack Musser and Hal Raynor.
Appearing in the cast were Robert Broadwell, H.C. Warren, Kelly Gamble, Howard Bridegroom, Maryedith Durrell, Rachel Graves Smith, Albert Bernhardt, Jacqueline Scholler, Slauson Vosburg, Lora Spaulding, Hal Raynor, Dorothy Deuel Rubel, George Spelvin and the chorus of Molly Torrey, Billie June Naylor, Barbara McMillan, Angie Lou Blackwell, Jacqueline Scholler, and Phyllis Coe.
The musical comedy was directed by Mrs. Rachel Graves Smith with Henry Scott Rubel as supervising director. The Grace Episcopal, Methodist and Christian Churches shared proceeds from the benefit event.
