ties in the Confederacy had
already written it off as a

Nashville must avoid inter-
course of any kind with the
invaders. Two British flags

owners there, thus evincing

that they spared nothing in

cept a portion of private

destroy the Notifications,

out that DR.. Jagan himself
announced, in an official ra-

into the higher Communist

then, the following action
seem appropriate?
Cd Condemnation of the
New Frontier because it gave
United States approval of the

his election-thus enabling
him to campaign from the
strength that he knows how
to deal with the Americans
and that the American Gov

100 Years Ago

Inc COnleQeracy'S chances
of winning its "lost cause"
seemed so improbable a CEN
tury ago that some Northern
newspapers were predicting
an end of the Civil War with
in a matter of months. The
Union frightened its grip on
Tennessee and Kentucky, oc-
cupying Nashville and Co
lumbus, KY, the so-called "Gi-
braltar of the West" Nash
vile was a real prize, with
its foundries, flour mills,
leather tannery, powder and
field-gun plants, etc. Seizure
of Columbus opened the
Mississippi as far as the
acknowledgements border.
Washington, of course, was
elated, and Richmond de-
pressed. Although Nashville
was evacuated on February
Is, 1862, details of it's &C.
cupancy by Federal troops
were recounted in The Star
for a week thereafter. Presi-
dent Lincoln designated An
drew johnson as military
governor of Tennessee, with
the rank of brigadier general.
Nashville, then populated by
less than 10000, was the
scene of great confusion when
it was learned on a Sunday
that Fort Donelson had
fallen. The Star of March
3, 1862, described the situa-
ton at Nashville: q. Every
means of transportation at
hand was employed to re-
move furniture and valua-
bles; the depot was thronged
with men, women and chill
dren anxious to leave the
city: train after train was
put in motion. (Some of the
trains were so packed that
frantic fugitives chung to the
tops Of cars and rode South
in a freezing rain.0 Govern
ment stores were thrown open
to all who chose to carry
them away, and Negroes,
laborers, and even genteel-
looking persons could be seen
'toting' off their pile of hog
meat, clothing or other prop
erty belonging to the army,
though by order of military
authorities much of this was
recovered on the ensuing day.
In a word, the city was crazy
with panic. :" Indeed, the
South's loss in desperately
needed supplies would have
been much greater had it not

especially to those who think
of religion as an escape, but
if we are to follow Jesus we
dare not forget that His was
not a calm and triumphant
life by any such standards.
He died on a cross!
Victory in ife's sternest
tests comes not by calming
ourselves but by grasping
someone outside ourselves,
greater than ourselves. Even
in the midst of a storms wild
commotion if we ride above
it the eternal promise isl
will keep that one in perfect
peace whose mind is stayed
on Mel"
Christ's promise is never
to clear our way of storms.
He tells us how to be above
the weather! That is the es-
sence of Christianity. What
a graphic description Paul
gives of the storms he en-
countered-perils, discourage
ment, betrayals, losses! But
listen to him as he rides
above the weather-"Trou-
bled on every side, yet not
distressed, perplexed but not
in despair. prosecuted but
not forsaken, cast down but
not destroyed" And that Sc
cret was not lost when Paul
bent his head to the execu-
toners axe. Across the CEN
turtles how many have found
that above the weather there
is a realm where the bitter
leads to the better, where
weights change to wings,
where the dark proves full
of nightingales and as one
has put it, life's tediums
change to Ted Deums!
Every time you hear the
Hallelujah Chorus you are
listening to the glorious mel
ody of a man who was flying
above the weather. The facts
regarding Handel were that
when he thus scared into the
seventh heaven and came
back with the Messiah, his
health and fortune had
reached the lowest ebb, his
right side was paralyzed, his
money was gone; threatened
with imprisonment he was
tempted to give up the fight.
But he responded to such
circumstances with immortal
cadenceS. Every time a crowd
stands up reverently to lis
ten to the Hallelujah Chorus
they are the recipients Of
riches bequeathed by a man
who determined to fly above
the weather!
A dear friend who has
learned "the secret" sends a
verse with the grateful tes-
timony that when ADVERSE
ties had come to him per-
Sonally he had been able to
fly above it all. And this is
what he sent-it could be
called. above the weather."
OF mounds and sore defeat I
made my battle-Stdy;
Winged sandals for my feet
I 1OoUe OF my delay.
OF bitterness and fear I made
q shining spear;
OF loss and doubt and dread,
a stOitt oncon1ing doom,

head, and a Daving

SPIRES OF THE SPIRIT
Above the Weather
BY DIR. FREDERICK BROWN HARRIS
Chaplain Of the United States Senate
When someone Is physically

AN1oHSoNA1 AAS" OAOCAA VIC
hear the remark, "He is
under the weather." That
health report suggests that
instead of being on top of the
world, some bodily affliction
has cast a person down. The
storm Of some illness has
descended upon him and to
use the vivid phrase HE is
under the weather" means
he is at least temporarily out
of circulation.
But in the facing of life's
changing scenes there is a
more meaningful conception
than that of being under the
weather. 1t is, being above
the weather. The first phrase,
under the weather" depicts
a situation which may at any
time interfere with the best
laid plans. No wonder a poet
wrote with regard to these
human bodies of ours -
strange that a harp of a
thousand strings can keep
in tune so long!"
Far more important re-
garding the weather en-
countered in the pilgrimage
from the cradle to the grave
is the question as to whether
one is to go under or above it
Recently as a group was
about to take a plane to a
State in New England, one
of the company remarked
Word has come in the
weather report that quite q
snow-storm is raging between
here and our destination. "
THAT will not matter" said
a more knowledgeable flyer,
I'VE will be above the
weather."
1t seems that with today's
increasing scientific knoWl-
edge more people than ever,
to use Mark Twain's phrase,
talk about the weather"
Millions now daily listen to
radio weather prognostica-
lions. These forecasts are
vital aids in making those
who have to venture forth on
land or sea, or in the air, OF
even orbiting the earth, to at
least take adequate precau-
lions to weather the weather.
Now just as any year is
likely to hold within its IL
months all extremes of
weather so every normal life
must expect to encounter not
only blue days and fair, but
the sort of weather suggested
by the old hymn about the
stormy winds that blow" and
the swelling tides of woe"
For in every life will come
an hour when the heavens
above are no longer as sap
phire, and a cloud, perhaps
at first no bigger than a
mans hand, will thicken and
blacken until all the sky is
covered with the frowning
harbingers of storm. Then
comes the test as unutterable
loss, frustrated plans, bitter
disappointments, hereave-
ment. trouble and difficulty
sweep over the soul. Ger
tainly no one who takes life
seriously can escape the
necessity of confronting sit
uations fraught with tragedy
and in his own soul coming
to terms with trouble.
The question of questions
is whether or not one has the
secret of flying above the
weather? That secret is not
simply to relax and not
worry. There are those who
counsel ignoring the weather
they seem almost revising
the Scripture to read-"If
any man will come after me
let him relax" and "go into
all the world and keep down
your blood pressure" Now
this gospel of serenity and
success is very attractive

the City.
Without widening streets and
sidewalks and paving the street as
at present, with no acquisition of
land, our cost alone would be $780,
600 with nothing from the State.
The issue here is are we willing
to spend $175,00O to get the grant
of approximately 100000 from the
State.
I'VE would probably have to ac-
quire the land at a later date any
way, but this decision will have to
be made before we can GO ahead
with the project.
This past year the fire depart
ment headquarters have been COM
pleted, except for outside painting,
which will be done later by the

ing was $4,000.

planned are from Fifth to Twelfth
Streets on Lacey and from Third
and Barnette to Airport Way.
"A two inch asphalt mat on an

Noble. Barnette and Lacey Streets.
and on the laterals connecting there
will be one and one-half inch mat
on Il inch base.
Work on these projects is
planned for this summer. Bids will
be awarded to private contractors.
"A setback of Cushman Street
from Third to Twelfth Avenues for

planned
The reason for this is not to
necessarily widen the street. but to
actually widen the sidewalks for
the benefit of pedestrians.
