PODPORA LIDSKOST BRATRSTVI

13. UNORA (FEBRUARY) 1963

NAROZENINY ABRAHAMA LINCOLNA Americana obyeejne vzpominaji Abrahamla, Lincolna ye svetle dejinnych udalosti, ktere nasledovaly jeho zvoleni za Sestnacteho presidenta SpojenYch state roku 1860.

Toho roku rozWepil se nand, ye dye fakce, vakiive si odporujici v otazce statnich pra y a otroctvi. V dot* kdy vysoky mu t z americkeho zapadu skiddal pfisahu do zodpovedneho idadu presidenta, opustilo jit• jedenact jitnich stâtü a vytyorilo Konfederaci americkYch statb..

Kdyt nasledujiciho roku, na jake 1861, vypukla obeanska valka, bylo ptedni snahou novella presidenta zachraniti Unii, tfeba i za cenu zachovani otroctvi ye statech, v nicht bylo at do te doby legalni. Jit prvni rok yalky pfesveddil vgak Lincolna, te nemene etiletitou metou tragickeho konfliktu je prave zruS'eni tohoto otroctvi.

Jeho vildcovstvi podafilo se dosahnouti oboe techto eilti. Take Lincoln tije dnes ye vzpominkach naroda nejen jako zachrance Unie, ale i jako Velky emancipator.

Kdyt Lincoln opou gtel svou advokatni kancelal ye Springfieldu, Illinois, aby pkey zal presidentskY iikad v okamtiku zdrcujici krise, püsobil v politicks arena teprve kratkou dobu. Kdyt ho republikanska strana, navrhovala za sveho presidentskeho kandidata, prohlasil proto ne docela bezpodstatne, te jen malokdo ho zna, za hranicemi Illinois.

Lincoln musel ye sve tirade teprve vy-

LINCOLE'S BIRTIADM

ANEKDOTA PRESIDENTA LINCOLNA Lincoln jednou poznamenal: "Nekteki flak generalove si steZuji, Ze kazim disciplinu a subordinaci v armada udelovanim rnilosti a odkladu rozsudku. Po celodenni teike praei citim se vSak odpoeinutY, mohu-li nalezti nejakou o1111UVU pro zachriineni neeiho iivota;; uleham pak spanku

rustati, ale kdy t tak v pomerne kratke- dobe ueinil, sta.l pied oeima naroda myslitel a jako skuteenY obr dejin statnik, a soueasne i tiv Y doklad tosti, ktere narod, "zasveceny mySlence, te vSichni lidé jsou stvoieni rovni", poskytuje YAem svYm obeantim, i tem, kteri vySli se skromnych poeatkti.

Lincoln nejen representoval zasadu, Ze vS'ichni lide jsou stvoi'eni navzajem si rovni, Lincoln v tuto zasadu i véihl. A tuto svou viru nejednou prost'mi slovy, jak tomu bylo na pkiklad v late 1864 v fedi ke 166temu pluku z Ohio.

Kdyt byl zdtraznil, e viterstvi zajisti tuto "slavnou a svobodnou vladu" s jejimi "stejnYmi vYsadami pro VSechny v techto dostizich", pravil k ohnem proSlYm vojaktim toto: "Prosirn vas, abyste si to zapamatovali nejen pro me Ldobro, ale pro cobra vlastni. Jen nahodou, a doeasne, obYvam BilY dtim. Jsem tivYna svedkem, te kterekoli z vaS'ich dCti me se sem dostati tak, jak so dostalo cite meho otce."

Tak mluvil mu, kterY zapoeal svou votni pout' velikana clejin jako ctrevorubec, farmakskY delnik, plaveik, prodavae ye venkovskem ,kramku a poStmistr v male vesnici — mu, kterY snad patri vgem narodfun sveta jako taciny jiny AmeriCan. "Nikoli na, nybrt celeho tu'iroci!a. . ."

Tak pravil kazatel Henry Ward Beecher na Velikonani nedéli roku 1865, kdy'A stal pled plaCid kongregaci, pinici Pokraeovani na strane 3

From The Editor's Desk BOX 7; FORD'S THEATRE, WASHINGTON; GOOD FRIDAY; APRIL 14, 1865 (February the 12th is Abraham Lincoln's birthday. On this occasion, most speeches and events commemorating this date will concern themselves with Lincoln's early beginnings and how he became the 16th President of these United States. We thought that we might here tell the tragic circumstances and details surrounding his assassination. This story is not told too often. Your editor visited the scene of this tragedy several times; each time it was a moving experience. If our readers ever have the opportunity, they should visit Ford's Theatre, the Lincoln House across the street, and of course, the Lincoln Memorial. — Ed; Mrs'. Lincoln said she had tickets for Grover's Theatre, where there was to be a celebration, but that she would rather see the comedy, "Our American Cousin" at Ford's Theatre, on Tenth Street. The President said he would arrange for tickets.

I had been waiting up for weeping pitifully. " 'Who is dead in the White House?'

I demanded of one of the soldiers. " 'The President,' was the answer. 'He was killed by an assassin.'

"Then came a loud burst of grief from the crown, which awoke me from my dream. I slept no more that night and, ilthough it was only a dream, I have been strangely annoyed by it since."

The President was silent. olo one spoke.

"That is horrid." said Mrs. Lincoln. "I wish you had not told it. I am glad I don't believe in dreams, or I should be in terror from ,his time forth.

"A house divided against itself cannot stand." — Lincoln "Duty is the sublimest word in the English language." — Gen. R. E. Lee "Liberty and Union, Now and Forever.

On April 2nd, the Confederacy fell, and Washington was drunk with merriment and celebrations. General Lee surrendered formally on Tuesday, April 11. While President Lincoln was making a speech a mustached man in the back ranks of people muttered to a friend, "that's the oortant dispatches. I could not have last speech he'll ever make."

I thought I left my bed and about the significance of dreams. Mrs. wandered downstairs.

Lincoln looked worried. "Do you believe "There the silence was broken by the in dreams?"

The President smiled. "It was only a dream, Mother. Let us say no more about it, and try to forget. it."

A die-hard, Southern-rooted fanatic, and one-time idolized stage actor. John Wilkes Booth, decided, after Lincoln had been elected to a second term, to kidnap he President, and smuggle him through the battle lines to Richmond. This would make dairn a great hero in the South, and r_orce the North to pay ransom and exchange prisoners. It developed, however, that he never sought, and never got, of7icial sanction from the South in this diabolical plot. The first plot to kidnap the President was a fiasco. The President did not attend the theatre the night of the plot, and the conspirators thought the government had been tipped off, and scattered like minnows. Booth's co;onspirators were David Herold, Lewis Paine, and George Atzerodt. Three othpreviously involved, pulled out of the whole plot two weeks before it actually 'Loomed.

Wednesday, February 13, 1963 shrined in marble and in human hearts are the most profoundly Christian words ever spoken by a head of state. If you haven't read them lately, they'll bear reading again . . . slowly . . . while remembering that they were uttered while all about him raged the hot hatred of war: aNenner party expected for the war the magnitude or the duration which it has already attained. Neither anticipated that the cause of the conflict might cease with or even before the conflict itself should cease. Each looked for an easier triumph, and a result less fundamental and astounding. Both read the same Bible and pray to the same God, and each invokes His aid against the other.

It may seem strange that, any men should dare to ask a just God's assistance in wringing their bread from the sweat of other men's faces, but let us judge not, that we be not judged. The prayers of both could not be answered.

That of neither has been answered fully.

The Almighty has His own purpose. Woe unto the world because of offenses; for it must needs be that offenses come, but woe to that man by whom the offense cometh.'

"If we shall suppose that American slavery is one of those offenses which, in the providence of God, must needs come, but which, having continued through His appointed time, He now wills to remove, and that He gives to both North and South this terrible war as the woe due to those by whom the offense came, shall we discern therein any departure from those Divine attributes which the believers in a Living God always ascribe to Him? Foundly do we hope, fervently do we pray, that this mighty scourage of war may speedily pass away. Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman's two hundred and fifty years of ' unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said 'The judgements of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.'

V2STNt ---- WEST, TEXAS

President, Chosen by a minority of the popular votes of a divided nation, the task he faced was greater than that of any other President, In the war that followed, total battle deaths were far heavier than in World War I, and in proportion to population, twice as heavy as in World War II. The mortality from wounds and disease was staggering!

It was the bloodiest major war in history. A larger per cent of homes, North and South, lost a son or husband, than ever before or since.

These losses could have fanned hatreds such as those which have divided Europe for hundreds of years. Yet long before a century had passed, our people were friends again.

This is .due, probably more than anything else, to the fact that it was impossible for Lincoln to hate anyone; due also to Robert E. Lee who had the iron courage to close the book when the last shot was fired.

Lincoln did not live long after he said: "Let us judge not that we be not judged."

But his words lived, and his spirit.

Malignant men, North and South, like Thaddeus Stevens, tried to keep hate burning, They failed.

Lincoln's lasting legacy is love.

• There is no surprise more magical than the surprise of being loved. It is God's finger on man's shoulder.

—Charles Morgan )0 )

LINCOLN'S GETTYSBURG ADDRESS Next November 19th will be 100 years since Abraham Lincoln delivered his now immortal Gettysburg address. Speaking at dedication ceremonies on the barelycool Civil War battlefield at Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, he spoke from notes he had scribbled during the train journey from Washington. School children have had to memorize this address for many years; you, I'm sure, have also heard it.

We commemorate Lincoln's birthday this week, and the occasion again warrants, I believe, that we read it carefully. — Ed. "With malice toward none, with "Four score and seven years ago our charity for all, with firmness in the right fathers brought fourth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty. and as God gives us to see the right, let us dedicated to the proposition that all men strive on to finish the work we are in to are created equal. bind up the nation's wounds, to care for "Now we are engaged in a great civil him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow anal his orphan, to do all war, testing whether that nation or any which may achieve and cherish a just nation so conceived and so dedicated, and lasting peace among ourselves and can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to with all nations."

One hundred and three years ago next dedicate a portion of that field, as a fiNovember, Abraham Lincoln was elected'ual resting place for those who here gave

15 their lives that that nation might live.

It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

"But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we cannot hallow — this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here, have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced.

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining for us — that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly res011it, that these dead shall not have died in vain — that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom — and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." ) 0 WHAT IS A VALENTINE? Thursday when you say "Valentine," you could be talking about any one of at least five different things: 1. A folded piece of paper, bearing the name of a boy or a girl, drawn by lot at parties held on the eve of St. Valentine's Day. 2. The person whose name is on the folded piece of paper and who, by being so selected, becomes your sweetheart or special friend -- your "Valentine" — for the next year.

3. The first person of the opposite sex you meet on Valentine's Day morning.

4. A fancy, delicate, flowery and frilly card sent on this day to someone of your sentimental choice.

5. a present — flowers, candy, etc., given or received on Valentine's Day. Or — but this is hardly likely nowadays — you could be talking about the poor martyred priest named Valentine, who somehow got mixed up in all this maudlin folderol simply by being put to death on Feb. 14, back in the year 270.

St. Valentine, because of this purely accidental timing, has become the patron saint of lovers and of birds just because his day happened to fall at the precise time cf year when legend said the birds began to mate and when young men's fancy was beginning to turn to thoughts of love.

A careful reading of history will indicate that something of the sort was going on among both birds and young people for some time before 270.

Dear Members: I am sorry this letter is so late. It seems that everyone is busy having parties after exams. I just can't seem to turn down parties.

I would like to thank the lodge for the $5 check I received as a reward for first place in the merit book contest. I feel that more of the youth club members should participate by keeping these books. It would be no harder than keeping the scrapbooks that many of us do keep.

If you keep a merit book you should be proud of it and show it to members of other lodges because it stands for all the activities you have participated in at your lodge. I hope that next year we will have more youth clubs entering their books.

I should now like to thank the youth club members for electing me secretarytreasurer of the youth club. I feel that we have very active youth club officers this year.

I want to wish our new youth director, Mrs. Engelke, the best of luck in the next year.

Thank you again, Lodge 66.

Sincerely yours, Sharon Engelke â&#x20AC;&#x201D; )0 )

1962. The point keeping sheets and merit books were handed - out to those members wanting them.

Members having birthdays during February are as follows: Charles Kutcherousky, Kathy Lenart, and James Hromadka. Only one of these, James Hromadka, was present. He blew out the candles on a heart-shaped birthday cake donated by Sister Emilie Vochoska.

Thank you very much, Sister Vochoska.

We were surprised to see our hall decorated in Valentine style by our youth leader and some of the club memoers.

Everyone be sure to come to our party February 15 and to our next meeting, March 3.

Thomas A. Edison was certainly among the foremost of these.

In the quiet little town of Milan, Ohio, Thomas Edison was born February 11, 1847. Samuel Edison, his father, was of Dutch ancestry, the family coming to America from Amsterdam in 1737. His mother was of Scotch ancestry, her maiden name being Elliot.

In his early childhood, Thomas showed an fond eagerness for reading, something his schoolteacher mother encouraged.

He was constantly inquiring as to "how" this or that was being done. He was not exceptionally bright in class. In fact, his teachers were quite discouraged by his ineptness in learning. By the age of nine and ten he was reading things that were wire.

This system is to be in effect 12 months only, unless it proves• satisfactory.

Troubil, Manager of the SPJST Rest Home, upon President Marek's invitation spoke and expressed his delight to have been granted the opportunity to visit during the meeting and stated that he was glad to see the Supreme Lodge working in harmony and for the betterment of the SPSJT. In connection with his talk he appealed to the Supreme Lodge that if possible to grant a reduction in the interest rate on the real estate loan to the SPJST Rest Home. President Marek thanked Bro. Troubil and assured him that his request would be given due consideration.
