Abraham Lincoln's
206th Birthday
“Common looking people are the best in the
world:
that is the reason the Lord makes so many of them.”
“I claim not to have controlled events, but
confess plainly that events have controlled me.” |
 |
|
“If
I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this
shop might as well be closed for any other business.
I do the very best I know how - the very best I can; and I mean to keep
doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right,
what's said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out
wrong,
ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.”

My Friend, Susan, of NC,
a frequent contributor to our
Newsletters, is quite ill. On 02/10/14 she was on her third day
of "feeling sick." Things quickly escalated, and she found herself in
the ICU with dangerously high blood pressure (on the second day of
hospitalization "down" to 183/90), dangerously low potassium, and
critically low sodium levels. Your prayers will be appreciated.

THIS DAY IN WWII:
February 12, 1946 -
Operation Deadlight ended after scuttling 121 of 154 captured
U-boats.
THIS DAY IN 1965:
| Friday, February 12, 1965 -
It was Lincoln's birthday then, too (his 156th). Otherwise, nothing much
seems to have happened... |
| “It isn't as bad as
you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to
myself every morning. It will all work out. If you do your best, it will
all work out. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and
confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not
forsake us....If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him,
if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers.”

From
Phil Hammond
('64) of FL - 02/11/15 - "Paper
Boy":
Carol,
I would love to see the article in the Daily Press. I also delivered
papers on my bike on 15th, 16th and 17th Streets in
Stuart Gardens.
I remember on Sunday mornings we would meet at
Steve Sparkman's
('63)
(01 Feb 1944 - 04 Feb 1999)
house and go to
Krispy Kreme for fresh hot donuts
and coffee. Lehman Smith ('61) was also there. Paper cost
45 cents a week. Collecting every week was the worst, especially when
customers would say, "I paid you last week"! I will never forget my dog
Tippy followed me every where. One day she took off after a cat across
16th Street during rush hour and ran under a truck. I ran and picked her
up and put her in my basket. She was fine after a few days. Thanks for
the memories.
Phil
Certainly, Phil!

Before we moved to the
Stuart Gardens Apartments in the
summer of 1960, we lived in the larger
Stuart Homes. Our paper boy there was
('61)
Jimmy Moody
(d. 08 June 2001).
One day when we were embarrassed for not having any change to pay him
(probably for the second week in a row), I broke into my nearly complete
collection of Buffalo nickels. Somehow I never recovered them all... |
From My Friend, Roshana, of NC -

EXACTLY!
Thanks, Roshana!

The Battle Hymn of the Republic
- Julia Ward Howe
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored,
He has loosed the fateful lightening of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have seen Him in the watch-fires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
I have read a fiery gospel writ in burnish`d rows of steel,
"As ye deal with my contemners, So with you my grace shall deal;"
Let the Hero, born of woman, crush the serpent with his heel
Since God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment-seat
Oh, be swift, my soul, to answer Him! be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea,
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me:
As He died to make men holy, let us die to make men free,
While God is marching on.
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
Glory! Glory! Hallelujah!
His truth is marching on.
