SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
The Flowers of Grace
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
BY DR.. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate

Grace Is one OF the love-
lest of words. 1t belongs
among the most fragrant of
blooms in verbal gardens. 1t
is the wealthieSt word uttered
beneath ten thousand spires
on the dear Lords blessed
day. When, through the por-
tails Of a sanctuary, SOUL
weary men and women enter
to partake Of that spiritual
therapy called worship-to
leave on their way attended
by the vision splendid, the
first word of the parting
benediction is grace"
A writer of many inspir-
ing books, after attending
church service on a Sunday
morning wrote, "the whole
worship hour was wonder
fully refreshing and uplift-
ing, but the stately cadences
of the benediction seemed the
climax Of it all, as in the
hush and solemn moment in
which the congregation stood
with bowed heads the minis
ter uttered those sublime
simplicities, those simple
solemnitieS.
No wonder that a certain
hymn suggests that grace"
is not something to be left
in the church where it may
linger in an odor of sanctity
but something to be taken
out and manifested in all
the ways one goes. 1t is as
though the preacher had
said, you have been rejoic-
ing here in the inexhaustible
grace of the Lord Jesus; now
you, yourself, be gracious!"
Here are two lines of that
hymn:
The doUe of peace sings in the
heart,
The tlotDers OF grace appear.
Those flowers Of grace are
often found in the most I'M
likely gardens.
In the realm of human
behavior and endeavor it
cannot be denied that often
the choicest blooms of serv-
ice and of patient endurance
are seen in the most I'M
expected places. The Ne W
Testament speaks of saints
in Caesars household. The
Caesar referred to was the
Infamous Nero who muir
dered his brother and his
mother. 1t was in his reign
that Christians were made
living torches to illuminate
the tyrant's garden. His was
a court of debauchery and
RIGHTEOUSNESS. Yet, Paul
writing from Rome puts in
his letter the significant
greeting, "All the saints
salute you. chiefly they who
are of Caesars household. "
He wanted those to whom
his letter Speeded to know
that even here the flowers Of
grace we're to be found.
In a midwestern town a
flower contest captured the
interest of all segments of
the population. From their
Conservatives wealthy con-
noisSeurs sent their prize ex-
hibits. OF course the judges
did not know the background
Of the flowers they appraised.
A young girl whose shabby
home was in a miserable
tenement district, but who
grew the flowers of grace in
her heart, had no garden
except one she made on the
roof of that squalid apart
ment. To that elevation with
her own hands she carried

leave later today for Miami
and would spend several days
in Fort Lauderdale as the guest
of Gustav Won Refs. He will

June, aggregated $3.4 million.

MINNEAPOLIS, Jan. 10
(AP).-Norman Van Brocklin
embarked today on a new
career as head coach of the
Minnesota Vikings. bringing
with him the prestige of a
great quarterback and the
prospect Of fireworks.
The restless Dutchman,
named yesterday to direct the
fledgling National Football
League club under a three
year contract, made no pledges
of radical offenses Of forecasts
of quick success.
But he made this point:
"We'll use the orthodox T

variations. You can bet, too,
that we'll throw that football
plenty if we have to-"

plans to Join Philadelphia and
quit again rather than be a
playing assistant coach.
In his view, George Shaw
the quarterback acquired by
the Vikings from the New
York Giants last week-"is a
man Of tremendous ability"
The vikings owners were
aglow over the acquisition OF
Van Brocklin. They needed a
man Of national stature to lend
his reputation to their inau-
gural year in the competitive
jungle OF the NFL. They also
needed the savvy of a NFL
veteran to help them pick the
36 players from the league pool
who will form the core Of the
Vikings roster.

Good to Greet
By the Associated Press

North Carolina's Tar Heels,
who once appeared to be a good
basketball team going some
where, have become a great one
going nowhere since the NCAA
lowered its probationary boom
nine days ago.
In four games since the
penalty for recruiting violations
was imposed on them in Pitts
burgh January 10, the Tar
Heels have whipped four
straight Atlantic Coast Con-
ference rivals, boosted their
winning streak to 10, their ma
tional ranking to sixth, and
their season record to a
tidy 1872.
Shut out from a chance at
the NCAA tournament by the
probationary action, Coach
Frank McGuire's boys have the
ACC regular season leadership
and the conference post
season championship to look
forward to.
They look capable of both
more so than ever after rousing
victories over Wake Forest at

They are not too keen for re-
apportionment, but they would
be helped by any bill that would
protect the rock fish. Sport
fishing is growing part of the
economy of these counties. So,
they are inclined to vote with
Montgomery County on the
rock fish bill. Mr.. Harrison
whipped them right back in line
h owever and his tactic is
simple. He kicks them right
square in their iackpots. At
the mention of slot machines,
the lower Western Shore coun-
ties suddenly lose all interest
in rock fish bills or any other
bills for that matter.
And so it goes. Each little
group is pulling all the stops
and trying every device they
can cook up to further their
own particular interest. Some
where in all this there is the
will of the people and no doubt
in the end, it will prevail. But
in the meantime if you want to

BA Y
FISHING

Copt. Gene Hunt
GAL D.
ssspsske Beach. Md.

They have been having a time
down at Annapolis. The last
days of the session have seen
some wild goings on for sure.
The lowly rock fish has gotten
all mixed up with re-apportion-
ment, slot machines, and long
winded politicians. Each with
his own little axe to grind. It's
been a mixed up mess, and /
am sure l don't understand
how it went. So, it is perfectly
in keeping with the spirit of
things that l should explain it
to you.
There was a bill introduced
to ban the taking of rock fish
during the months of January,
February and March. This bill
was referred to the Committee
on Chesapeake Bay and Tribu-
taries. The chairman of this
committee is Mr.. Randolph
Harrison who is from Thigh
mans Island on the Eastern
Shore. Mr.. Harrison also just
happens to own the Tilghman
Island Packing Company, and
if you think he has anything
other than passing interest in
rock fish bills you are right.
So, thanks to Mr.. Harrison and
the rest of the Eastern Shore
delegates the rock fish bill is
stuck in committee and If they
have their way that is where
it will die - just as it has for
the past dozen years.
Now, we come to the Mont
gomery County delegation.
They are fighting like mad for
re-appordonment and their big
gest obstacle again is the East
ern Shore people. The Shore
folks have been using every
trick in the book to block any
move toward re.apportionment.
So, the Montgomery County
outfit begins beating the Shore
people over the head with the
rock fish bill. They don't
really give a damn about the
rock fish bill one way or an
other, but they know this is
one way they can hit the Shore
people where it hurts.
Next, we come to the lower
