Edward L Marek, • President of the Slavonic Benevolent Order of the State of Texas Urges Rededication To Fraternalism

these unsettled times we must realize that the spirit of fraternalism is one of the pillars of civic freedom:

In the rush of modern living we arc too prone to overlook our fellow man and to forget that a neighbor is our brother.

We should stress the basic principles of fraternalism. We should change our halls into schools of brotherhood. We should aid cur Government to attain universal peace.

I thank all Brothers and Sisters, the supreme officers and the local workers, for their unselfish e f f or t s in the year parsed. I wish all members success in all their undertakings, especially in advocating fraternalism so that all of us feel and act as brothers.

MUSINGS OF THE EDITOR THE GREA.LEST HAPPINESS FOR YOU AND YOUR DEAR ONES THROUGHOUT THE COMING YEAR IS OUR SINCERE WISH. SUPREME LODGE, PRESS COMMITTEE. PUBLISHERS and EDITOR THE YEAR at last is ended, All over, finished, through.

Its term of days expended, Farewell to '52.

It had its good days, bad days, It had its joys and sorrows.

It had its gay days, sad days, Its yesterdays, tomorrows.

At times we wished it speeded.

At times we wished for more.

At 'times our hopes succeeded, At times they hit the floor.

But now the year is finished, Though the end still in sight.

With ardor undiminished And forward look, we write To '53 this letter, These little lines of verse: We hope that you are better, Or, anyhow, no worse.

GLANCING BACKWARD through the year 1952, we should not have any reason to complain regarding the progress of the SPJST. It will be several weeks before we get the statistical picture, but the over-all view is almost flattering. Let us review some of the achievements.

pared all the groundwork for the 16th convention in Hiouston and had decidedly contributed to the long-range improvements.

•

•

AN OUTSTANDING IMPROVEMENT was the creation of seven organizational districts. The real value of the plan will not be apparent for some time, but as we get used to it and begin to work more in and through the district meetings, the entire atmosphere of our fraternal and social work will get a boost.

• • ANOTHER FORWARD STEP was the decision of the delegates of the 16th convention to inaugurate training courses for our local solicitors. The Supreme Lodge was given the right to spend a rep, sonable amount to train the organizers by holding classes or meetings in each district once in three months.

• • ONE SPECIFIC PROVISION was approved by the 16th convention regarding the organizational activity. The Supreme Lodge must employ a state agent, a state organizer, who will devote his time to see that the inactive local lodges are aroused, to train the local solicitors, and t' organize new lodges in localities where no lodges exist and opportunity seems to be favorable.

• • THE ORGANIZATIONAL WORK has already received a fairly good start in 1952. The Supreme Lodge has already furnished textbooks for the fraternal training courses to 29 local solicitors.

More applications are coming in every month. The solicitors in District Five had their first supplementary class instruction on Sunday, November 30, 1952, in Rosenberg. A similar supplementary class for solicitors from District One was held in Fayetteville on Sunday, December 21.

The school in Rosenberg had attendance of nearly twenty organizers, the class in Fayetteville had ten organizers present.

The features of these two new benefit certificates will be explaintd in the Vestnik very shortly.

• • THE NEW BY-LAWS have been distributed to the local lodges shortly before Christmas. The booklet seems to be quite a volume, but after you compare it with the old book of By-laws, which had 208 pages, you will find that the new provisions adopted by the 16th convention, together with the new index and a complete list of officers, directors, Publication committee and the new By-laws committee, added only nine pages to the old book. Your local lodge officers should distribute the new By-laws to all the member who come to the next meeting.

There are not enough copies to go to every member, but enough copies are held back for the prospective new members in the next four years.

APPLICANTS FOR INSURANCE up to and including $3,000 who are not more than 45 years of . age are not required to have a medical examination. Every local organizer should remember this new advantage in writing of new applications.

But if an applicant for insurance up to $3,000 desires to have a medical examination, that privilege is granted to him.

Da After Christmas and all over town Santa is denounced (By Carl Victor Little)

THIS ISSUE MARKS another forward step to bring the SPJST before the eyes of the public. Many years ago, the door of every SPJST lodge hall used to be closed to every one but the member of the SPJST. We used to be clannish. The paper was published only for the benefit and entertainment of the members who knew the Czech language. A member, who did not know Czech or couldn't read it, had been short-changed. Four years ago, it was decided to give all the members a medium of expression, give everybody a chance to learn that the SPJST stands for unity, fellowship, and brotherhood. Starting with this issue, the first number of Volume 41, the reading will be fifty-fifty: one half for those who read Czech, and one half for the English readers. It will be the job of your editor to report impartially in two languages hat goes on in the local Lodges, in the Supreme Lodge, in the organizers' meetings, in the fraternal world Any help from you, Sisters and Brothers, will be immensely appreciated. Let me assure you that your help in the past have been a tremendous inspiration every week.

May I count on your friendship and support? Many , many thanks. ) • 4. • HAPPY NEW YEAR I am the New Year — A blank sheet of paper On which to write the great American Novel Or paint an immortal masterpiece Or just let me remain blank ...

'Tis the day after Christmas and all through the flat All the folks are berating Old Santa, the rat; The gold watch of clear sister has tarnished all green And the tie he brought brother has lost all its sheen.

Our dear mother is blue for her silverware's black And the stogies for father tobacco did lack.

All the family's sore at that dastard St. Nick, Such a playful old mug with a short- :selling trick.

'Tis the day after Christmas and all of the stores Are besieged by the public who smash in the doors.

Come to rectify errors that Santa Claus made, To untangle the scurviest tricks ever played.

The white whiskered old gent, weighted down by the years, And so muddled and heedless with wax in his ears, Got his orders so mixed in confusion and haste, On the worst information his giving was based.

A maternity garb went to maidens unwed, And those asking for red he gave purple instead.

Blowsy tipplers get sweets, teetotalers gin, The poor hungry got banks with no money therein; The plutocrats fat got more stock by the block For to bury with that they hid in their sock; The wee kiddies of two got new razors from Chris, What a fine mess of fish, not a hit but a miss.

Tis the day after Christmas and all over town All the folks are denouncing Old Santa, the clown, For the girls who got' cards and no fine minkish coats, (What a hell of a crop for a year of wild oats!)

And those getting no gems from their tight-fisted beaux, Are not taking so kindly deeds, malapropos.

We don't wonder a bit they're indignantly roused And are asking today: Was old Santa Claus soused?

I had sort of plans. I waited for the other two

members to do something while l have formulated plans how I would handle the situation. When we met, my plans were accepted in toto, and at the next meeting, a resolution was drawn in support, all public bodies, officials,• etc., were circularized, and believe it or not, present day of awarding the homesteads all over the United States follows this plan.

Maybe it was an act of Providence or bare luck, have it, whichever way you want, but my oldest boy was lucky to obtain one of these homesteads in 1947.

And, if your name is drawn according to this plan, brother, there is just luck, or Providence, but no corruptn. Drawing is public and you have bunch of dignitaries 4c-icing the drawing, and how can you select a proper capsule among, say, 4,000?

The post-Second-World-War homestead openings were made, the very first in U. S. A. here at Tulelake in 1947; then others followed all over the western states..The years of 1948 and 1949 saw some more homesteads4i‘being . given to veterans. All these drawings are well covered by the press, radio, etc. The first drawing in the early winter of 1946 possibly was( more publicized than any other since. Such nationwide publications as Life, Look, etc., gave the occasion quite a bit of publicity. There were some 4,000 applicants for the first drawing; succeding drawings the number was more than doubled, so you can see the these lands are highly desirable.

And no 'wonder. I have been here al years, and in that time I have seen no crop failure. If one thing fails, we have time to replant and reap a good yield yet.

OLD TRAIN SERVICE ENDED colonization. The outcome of the acquaintance with the • American young couple was that Telferner came with Mackays to the United States.

Young Mackey and Telferner decided to build a railroad in the coastal region of Texas. Beasley ■Iiungerford, father-inlaw of Mackey, was invited to join them in their venture. Hungerfords were rich, Mackey was a millionaire, and Telferner seemed to have the know-how. All three came to Texas to inspect the possibilities. At that time, the state of Texas offered sixteen sections of state land for each mile of railroad. Hungerford, Mackey and Telferner decided to build a railroad from the west bank of the rlfazos River all the way down to Browns):111e. A railroad had already been built from Houston to Richmond and to Alleyton, known as the Galveston, Harrisburg and San Antonio, and was preparing to push westward from Columbus to San Antonio.

In the final working out of the plans, it was decided to start with the railroad at Rosenberg and build it to Victoria.

Hungerford and Mackey finished the money, Telferner supplied the labor, and Texas gave the land. In those days the immigration laws did not object to contract labor, so several hundred Italians from Italy 'had been employed to do the road building. Macaroni was their national dish, en "Macaroni" was nicknamed the railroad.

The settlements along the railroad were named after the members , of the Hungerford family. It started with papa's given name, Beasley. It ended with mama's name, Victoria. In between came the names Hungerford, Mackey, Louise, Edna and Telferner.

Those were the days of pioneers. Today, sixty-five years later, the origin of the names is forgotten and the old "Macaroni" railroad is replaced by automobiles and busses. )• •( KALAHARI BUSHMEN AMONG WORLD'S MOST SKILLFUL TRACKERS The Kalahari Bushmen are among the most adept hunters in the world.

The dramatic Club Hlahol of Houston will present a Czech play "Tulaeka" in East Bernard on the 18th of January at 6 p. in. This beautiful play was put on in Houston and Fayetteville and met with huge success. We have an excellent cast of actors and the story of the play is very beautiful. The Czech costumes add color to the play, and the songs and dances, gaiety. It is a play you won't want to miss, so keep the date in mind.

Just a little thank you also to the good people of Fayetteville and neighborin towns for coming to our play. We had u full house and we wish to thank you from the bottom of our hearts for such a swell turnout. And a thank you to those wonderful ladies who cooked such a delicious supper and baked those wonderful kolaches and angel food cake.

MORAVIANS' 500th ANNIVERSARY (Contributed by Otto Stehiikl

After a woman has had the last word she is just dying to know what her husband is thinking about. ) • 44 • ( It seems that dolls that cry "mama" when you squeeze them have gone out of style.

In the year 1957, the Moravian Church will celebrate its 500th anniversary, an- . tedating Luther's Reformation by sixtythree years, f:r it was in 1457 that the Evangelical Unity of Czzech-Moravian Brethren's . theological ancestors, the Unitas Fratrum or Unity of the Brethren, was established. The Moravians are the spiritual descendants of Jan Has, who was burned at the stake in 1415 for his insistence that the Bible is the foundation of Christian faith and life.

Beata Mueller, writing in the National Council Outlook, the publication of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U. S. A., stated; "Theirs (the Moravians) is a history of Protestantism that dates back before the Reformation. It is a history that has been interrupted by war, persecution and legal suppression, but the heritage has lived and grown."

Although their 500th anniversary is five years away, the Moravians are going to spend the next five years preparing for it, In America, Lititz, Pa., w a s founded by Moravian settlers in 1747 and named for the estate in Bohemia where the Unitas Fratrum was founded in 1457.

There are two branches of the Moravian Church in this country, and they work in harmony in this country, and they work in harmony with each other.

The headquarters of the Southern Province is located in Winston-Salem, N. C., where an Easter sunrise service is held that has become nationally famous. The headquarters of the Northern is in Bethlehem, Pa., where the still more famous Bach Choir holds a music festival each spring. The Czech•Moravians in Texas each July 6th hold their synods and conventions in memory of the day of Hus' martyrdom.

Between the years 1579 and 1593, the Moravians prepared the Krantz Bible, still used by Czech-speaking people everywhere. It did for the Czech language what Luther's Bible did for German, and what the King James Version did for English.

The Thirty Year's War began in 1618 and the counter-reformation. Many members of the Unity were killed or exiled from Bohemia. Among the exiles was their bishop, Jan Amos Comenius, whose reputation as an educator extended throughout Europe. Governor John Winthrop of Massachusetts asked him to become the president of the newly formed Harvard College in this country, but he refused, for he hoped that one day he might be able to return to his own country,

The Treaty of Westphalia, in 1643, ended the organized existence of the Moravian Church. It was forced to go underground. This was known as the period of the "Hidden Seed," when the members worshipped in secret.

In 1722, a group of the members left MOravia and settled on the Saxony estate of Count Nicholas von Zinzendorf and started the Renewed Moravian Church.

Ten years later, in 1732, the first missionaries went to the West Indies, and three years later Moravian emigrants went to Georgia, partly to serve al missionaries to the American Indians, but their Georgia .yenture was not successful. They moved to Pennsylvania, and on Christmas Eve of 1741 they founded what is now the city of Bethlehem.

Missionary zeal among primitive peoples caused them, in 1769„ to send missionaries to the West Indies. In 1778 they incorporated the Society for Propagating the Gospel, now th&oldest mission society in America.

Schools were the next ambition of the MoravianS, and, in 1742, they founded the first girl's boarding school in America. This is now the Moravian Seminary and College for Women in Bethlehem, Pa. During the Revolutionary War it was used as a hospital and, later, George Washington's niece was a student there.

The Moravians have a liturgical form of worship, but the younger Czech-Moravian Brethren are nonliturgical. 'The world Moravian Church has mission work in thirteen fields. Since 1900, the number of churches in the U: S. A. and Western Canada has grown to 150 and the membership is over 48,000. of denominations are constituents of the National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U. S. A. The Moravians Church has a tradition of church cooperation which goes back to the first effort for church union at the synod of Sendomir, Poland, in 1570. It was also a charter member of the Federal Council of Churches in 1909, and of the World Council in 1948.

The Moravians have three traditional orders of the ministry—deacons, presbyters and bishops, with a succession that has passed down intact from the Bohemian brethren. Their bishops are regarded mainly as spiritual leaders.

Jan ,I-rsus, the Bohemian priest, so intimately associated with the Moravian tradition, was rector of the ancient Charles University in Prague. It was he who started the Moravian tradition of The New Age. education.

VESTNi k;-; WEST, TEXAS

ON HIS OWN TWO FEET The readers of the Vestnik may be acquainted with the story that follows. It is appropriate in the light of what is to come. I . had read the story several years ago in the book Soldier of Democracy by Kenneth Davis. Later, I saw it reprinted in the magazine Omnibook. Then an:other version, very slightly changed, was published in the Reader's Digest about four- years ago, a condensation from another magazine. Recently, it was published in the Guideposts. The fact that I had read the story four times in the last six years does not imply that the readers of the Vestnik would not appreciate it. It is still a good reading — and timely reading. -- Editor.

• The, boy had fallen, running home after and skinned his left knee. It was no more than a scratch — there wasn't even rent, in his trousers — but by night the knee started to ache. Nothing much, he thought, being 13 and the sturdy -son of a frontiersman. Ignoring the pain, he knelt in his nightgown and said his prayers, then climbed into bed in the room , where he and his five brothers slept.

His leg was painful the next morning, but he still did not tell anyone. The farm kept the whole family relentlessly busy; always he had to be up at six to do his chores before/ school. And he must be thorough about them or he would be sent back to do them over again, no matter what else he had to miss, including meals, In their household, discipline was fair bat stern.

Two mornings later the leg ached too badly for him to drag hinfself to the barn. That was a Sunday and he could remain behind, while the . rest of the family 'cliove into town. School homework Entitled, he sat in the parlor rocker, examining and comparing the three family Bibles; one in German that held the record3 of all their births and deaths; another in Greek that was his father's proud possession and finally the King James version shared by mother and all t he soils.

One'night this week it would be the boy's turn to lead the family devotions. tic could select his own passages from the Old and New Testaments and read them aloud and try to get a discussion going;- sometimes they became exiting.

But now the pain blurred his attention; he put=' aside the Scriptures and dozed until his brothers returned from Sunday se hooL Mom and Dad did not come home with them because Sunday was parents' day off; the boys did the housework and

cooked the big meal of the week, while father and mother stayed on for church service.

I But by the time dinner was ready the boy had climbed into bed. The shoe had to be cut off his swollen and discolored leg. Why on earth hadn't . he told somebody? Go quick and fetch the doctor!

Mother bathed knee and foot and thigh, applied poultices and wiped the boy's sweating forehead with a moist, cool cloth. She was an intense and vital woman. Confronted with this angry infection, her manner remained serene.

Mom had nursed her brood through accidents and ailments from toothaches to scarlet fever; one son she had lost, but that only made her calmer and more determined when she had to fight for the others.

Old Dr. Conklin examined the leg and pursed his lips. "It's not likely we can save it!"

The invalid sat up stiffly. "What's that mean?" he asked huskily.

"It means," explained the doctor gently, "if things get worse we-11 have to amputate."

"Not me!" stormed the boy. "I won't have it! I'd rather die!"

"The longer we wait, the more we will have to take off," urged the doctor.

"You won't take any off!" The boy's voice broke with an adolescent crack, as his mother turned away, shaken. But there was no adolescence in the eyes that defied the doctor's reproachful gaze.

Dr. Conklin stalked out, nodding to the mother to follow him. As he stood in the hallway explaining to both parents about what could and probably would happen, they could hear the boy calling for his brother: "Ed. Ed! Come up here, will you?"

The brother stamped in and they heard the sick lad's voice, high pitched with pain: "If I go out of my head, Ed, don't let them cut off my leg. Promise me, Ed , promise!"

In a moment Ed came out and ran to the kitchen. When he returned his mother said, "Ed, what's your brother asking for?"

"Fork! T,3 bite on; keep from screamI

Then Edgar stood outside the bedroom door ,his arms folded. Quite clearly he was standing on guard.

Ed looked straight at old Dr. Conklin.

"Nobody's going to saw off that leg!" he announced.

"But, Ed -- you'll be sorry," gasped the doctor.

On His Own Two Feet' (Continued from page 18.)

"Maybe so, Doc. But I gave him my word."

And nothing changed that.

If Ed had not stood his ground, father and mother might have yielded. There were not yet convinced that amputation was necessary; they were doubtful. The adamant attitude first of the sick boy and then of his brother was incredible, for defiance of parental authority was unknown in this household. Yet there was Ed, standing before the sickroom door.

"Guess we'll wait and see how he looks by tonight, eh, Doc?" said the father.

For two days and nights Ed stood guard, sleeping at the treshold, not leaving even to eat. The fever mounted, and the suffering boy babbled in torment, but the older brother showed no weakening of resolve, even though the discoloration of the swollen leg was creeping toward the pelvis, just as the doctor had predicted. Ed remained firm because he had given his promise, and also because he shared the frontiersmen's horror of being less than phygically perfect.

The parents knew that their son would never forgive an amputation, and Ed's attitude continued to be decisive, time after time, when the doctor returned.

Once, in helpless rage, Dr. Conklin shouted, "It's murder!" and slammed the front door. Nothing but a miracle could save the boy now!

Mother father and watchful brother Ed shared the same thought, as their anxious eyes turned from the doorway.

Had they forgotten their faith in the turmoil of their fears? Why, this sick boy's grandfather, that vigorous and inspiring old farmer-minister who had been leader of the River Brethren Colony in Pennsylvania, had always believed in healings wrought by faith. Now in this desperate hour, the three went to their knees at the bedside.

They prayed, taking turns in leading one another. Father, mother --- and at last Edgar -- would rise and go about the farm work and rejoin Ithe continual prayer. During the second night the other four brothers would kneel from time to time and join in the prayers.

The nekt morning, when the faithful old doctor stopped by again, his experienced eye saw a sign. The swelling was going down! Dr. Conklin closed his eyes' and made a rusty prayer of his own — a prayer of thanksgiving. Even after the boy dropped into a normal sleep, one

KILLING THE GOOSE (By E. E. Edgar) Lovable screen star Marie Dressler was as warm-hearted offscreen as she was on.

On more than one occasion, her friends had to restrain her from giving away her money.

At one time, she became interested in a penniless family whose plight was pathetic. The father was out of work, the mother was ill, and the five children had to fend for themselves. Several times a week, the actress would appear with a bundle of groceries and clothing and would press a few dollars into the father's hand.

This went on for several months. Then one day tragedy struck this unhappy home. When the actress made her customary appearance, she found the family in tears. One look told her what had happened. The mother's weary face was missing. Her still body lay on the sofa, covered by a white sheet.

With tears rolling down her cheeks, Miss Dressler took all the money from her purse, more than $200, and laid it on the table for the woman's burial. Then, without a word, she left this house of sorrow.

When she reached the street, she realized that she had left her umbrella upstairs. She retraced her steps, and opened the apartment door noiselessly, so as not to disturb the mourners. What she saw made her forget her umbrella — and her sympathy. For there on the sofa sat the "corpse", now very much alive, greedily counting the bills! . ) • 4, • ( THE FIRST UNFURLING OF OLD GLORY There are many legends about "Old Glory", but according to one of the most interesting ones, substantiated by many scholars and historians, is that it was flown over a United States military post and was sewed together from pieces cut from and old blue jacket, red petticoat and a white shirt. )• 4•( The young husband arriving home from the office was met by his rather u p -setwif."What'semrdaling?"he asked.

Wednesday, January 7, 1953 TIlE CHARLES BRIDGE OF PRAGUE (By J. F. Chmelicek) One of the most remarkable bridges as well as precious time-honored architectural structures of ancient times, is the Charles medieval stone bridge, which the capital of Czechoslovakia, Prague, boasts of with all justification.

It represents a magnificient sculptural gradation of construction and its site could not hove been chosen with greater care.

The bridge has been the indispensable approach to the Prague castle and inseperable complement of its striking panorama since the oldest times. For hundreds of years it has been the main road to the residence of C;Zech rulers and kings and Czechoslovak presidents and has been a silent but majestic witness of history and events, both glorious and sad to the nation.

The bridge has two towers, 17 pillars and 16 arches, and its rich statuary is unrivaled in the whole of Central Eur op e. Of the 12 bridges of Prague, this one the most unique story and has preserved its• pride among them.

It was not until after its sculptures had been completed (1705-14) that Charles' Bridge won world fame. Since that time, thirty groups of statues have stood on the pillars, including thirteen saints, as it were, show the pilgrim the way to the Castle of St. Wenceslas.

An inscription in the St. Guy Cathedral names Peter Parler as the builder of the Charles Bridge, which dates back to the year 1348, although bridges stood there before that time. ) • 4 • ( JANUARY INVENTORY Cash low?
