THE SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 3, 1941 (Released by Western Newspaper Union.} Camp Cavalcade cavalcade N. B. Forrest W. T. Sherman CHADOtVY figures in a c ^ of American history—! the men behind the names of the great army cantonments scattered all over the United States, where young Americans are learning to be soldiers in order to defend their country when the need arises Today thousands of soldiers from the state which sent U. S. Grant into the conflict of 1861-65 are train ing at a camp near Tullahoma, Tenn., which bears the name of another Amer ican military gen ius. Nathan Bed- ford Forrest (1821-1877) is re membered by most Americans as the man whose recipe for victory was “Git thar fustest with the mostest men” but more than one Union general remembered him as a “wizard of the saddle” who re peatedly outrode, outwitted or out fought them whether he had the “mostest men” or not. Despite the fact that he was uneducated and had no formal military training, his deeds won from a West Pointer and another great leader this tribute: “the most remarkable man the Civil war produced on either side.” The man who paid that tribute to Forrest was William Tecumseh Sherman (1870- 1891) for whom Camp Sherman near Chillicothe, Ohio, is named. It was Ohio which sent “Cump” Sherman to West Point where he learned the art and science of making war. Years later he ut tered the phrase by which he is best remembered by most Ameri cans—“War is hell!” He knew that from experience—in Mexico in 1846- 47, but more particularly from 1861- 65 when he was Grant’s right-hand man in dealing the death blows to the Confederacy. One of Lee’s commissioners of surrender at Appomattox was a fel- low-Virginian and a militant church man — William Nelson Pendleton (1809-1883). A graduate of West Point in the class of 1831, he re signed two years later to teach mathematics in colleges in Pennsyl vania and Delaware. Then he joined the Protestant Episcopal church, was ordained a priest and was serv ing as rector of a church in Lexing ton, Va., at the outbreak of the War Between the States. Putting off his church robes to don the Confeder ate gray, he rose to the rank of brig adier-general and chief of artillery of the Army of Northern Virginia and at the end of the war returned to his pastoral duties in Lexington. A camp at Virginia Beach, Va., bears his name. Virginia gave to the Confederacy its “Fighting Rector” of the Prot estant Episcopal church— William Nelson Pendle ton. Louisiana gave to the same cause its Protes tant Episcopal bishop— Leonidas Polk (1806-1864). Born in Raleigh, N. C., Polk, who was a cousin of President James K. Polk, was graduated from West Point in 1827 and served as a second lieutenant of artillery for five months before resigning from the army to study theology. Eleven years later he became the missionary bishop of the Southwest and in 1841 he was consecrated bish op of Louisiana, a position he held for 20 years. At the outbreak of the War Between the States he was com missioned a major-general in the Confederate army. Promoted to lieutenant-general in 1862, he com manded the Department of Alabama, Mississippi and Eastern Louisiana from January to May, 1864. The next month he was killed by a cannon ball at the Battle of Pine Mountain, Ga. Because of his prominence in the religious, educational and mili tary life of Louisiana, it was singu larly appropriate that one of the largest camps, near Leesville, in that state should bear his name. Classic Sweaters-Woolknits Choice of All College Girls By CHERIE NICHOLAS ’T'HE big news in classic sweaters -*• for "college girls this fall is V-necks and longer lengths. They wear these with smartly styled tweed skirts. If every college ward robe could be checked up it is safe to predict that the go-away-to school “clothes” collection, that did not in clude a sweater-and-skirt twosome as described above, would be the exception. Girls love to wear shirts under their sweaters so that V necks are solving the problem that crew necks couldn’t. See the picture of a col lege girl’s sweater-ideal presented below in the foreground of the ac companying illustration. Here is a soft blue Shetland that typifies the very newest in sweaters for general wear. The skirt is a wonderful rough tweed in red, blue and beige with a texture that makes it look hand loomed. Well tailored slacks for campus wear are taken for granted as a must have” among college girls. See pictured smartly styled slacks of a homespun wool fabric, with an up-to-the-moment simulated hand- knit cardigan, that qualifies in every detail the demands of fashion. It is in exact matching color to the slacks—which is another style an gle to take into account. The color is a very smart reddish brown called Creole earth, and the lacy pattern of the cardigan makes it look like an expensive handknit. The beanie on her pretty head has a long tassel in matching yarn. Not even when one has to dress up for some important afternoon event do college girls forsake their wool- knits. In fact, wool knit dresses are so beautifully and expertly styled nowadays, you get the habit of wearing them to social events both formal and informal. And what’s more, you never feel the urge to break the habit. In fact the more you wear woolknits the more you love to wear them. They don’t wrin kle, or sag, they are styled to a queen’s taste. You can get formal styles made resplendent with beads and embroidery or you can get them strictly tailored. There is plenty in chic and charm in this season’s woolknits. The dress pictured has established a unique and much-to-be-coveted record. It was voted a favorite by a board of 12 guest editors from 12 different colleges, at a recent pre- vue of knitted fashions by leading designers. A fine wool jersey, in black, styled with a pleated skirt, it is in accordance with latest fashion dictates, with long-torso fitted pull over top. Colorful Guatamalian ap pliques in floral designs make it gay, young and eye-intriguing. Here are a few additional high lights in college girls whims and fancies. Typical boy suits worn with gay stocking caps and felt, almost knee-deep gaiters, blazer raincoats in natural cotton, gabardine with navy borders and new wool dirndl skirts with gay yam embroidery. Clever smithy pinafores can be made of velveteen, with wide ruffle for the hemline and an over-the- shoulder bib top, just like “three little maids from school” might choose. The utmost pinnacle of joy is reached in the heart of a schoolgirl who acquires a coat of tightly curled white baby lamb that is finished off at the front with embroidered bright gabardine bordering.

Transition Dress Leonidas Polk A Pioneer in Physiology In 1822 William Beaumont, an army surgeon, began what was to be the most important contribution to the physiology of digestion in cen turies. For eight years he made a study of Alexis St. Martin, a French Canadian, who had the misfortune to have a permanent opening in his stomach due to a gunshot wound. In 1833 Beaumont published his “Ex periments and Observations on the Gastric Juice and the Physiology of Digestion,” which was the founda tion of modern dietetics. Brown I§ Popular Color for Autumn The browns have “it” this fall. The new wools in brown are smart for suits and dresses. With these brown costumes wear amber jewel ry or the stunning costume jewelry made of various thin-as-paper woods The effects in these is indescribably beautiful. Red gum, walnut, holly, white sugar maple and mahogany are some of the woods used for the necklace, bracelets, clips and , brooches. The floral parkwood neck- ; laces are adorable, some featuring | apple blossoms, the papyrus-like wood petals looking as fragile and tissue-like as silk in natural wood tones, they tune exquisitely to au tumn costumes. IMPROVED UNIFORM INTERNATIONAL s UNDAYI chool Lesson By HAROLD L. LUNDQUIST. D. D. Dean of The Moody Bible Institute of Chicago. (Released by Western Newspaper Union.) Lesson for October 5 Lesson subjects and Scripture texts se lected and copyrighted by international Council of Religious Education; used by permission.

Cloth Coats With ' Under-Chin Bows The newest thing in coats is color. Very smart and advance in fashion is the coat of bright wool minus fur trimming, in lieu of which the coat is fastened at the neck with a soft bow tie of self fabric. A girdle bow fastening at the waistline repeats the idea. First and always in your wardrobe a neat voguish foundation dress, preferably in black, though dark brown is equally as smart this year, cut along a pattern of simplicity so as to tune to prevailing American fash ion ideals, is necessary. Then add the interchangeable accessories that make your simple basic frock a glo rified transition dress. Now you have an entirely new outfit. See this intriguing dress of sim plicity with its amusing necklace pictured in the inset below. Braiding and Trapunto Details Are Important Braiding on the new suit-dresses is having a tremendous run this fall. Most of the jackets that top the dresses of self fabric have either their collars, revers, cuffs or sleeves —entire braided and the smartest types have all-over braided long jackets or boleros. The braid is usually a perfect color match to the cloth it trims. Trapunto treatments also are very much in evidence. The newest ges ture is to place one large trapunto motif on the bodice with one or two similar designs worked on the skirt, perhaps one at the left hip, the other near the hemline of the skirt to the right. Without God man has no hope in this world. This is the teaching of Scripture, which is confirmed by experience and admitted by the philosophies of men. “Having no hope and without God in the world,” says Paul (Eph. 2:12), and every godless philosophy paints the same dark picture. Says one, “It cannot be doubted that the theistic belief is a comfort to those that hold it and that the loss of it is a very painful loss. We have seen the spring sun shine out of an empty heaven to light up a soulless earth; we have felt with utter loneliness that the Great Companion is dead” (Clifford). x That desolate and aespairing con clusion need not be the lot of any man, for we have in God’s own Word a clear revelation of Himself as our Creator and our loving Father. Why not accept it? I. God Our Creator (Gen. 1:26-28). Both of our Scripture passages tell us much about man, but in doing so they reveal God. 1. Mow He Made Man (w. 26, 27). “God created man in his own image” (v. 27). This does not refer to any physical likeness, although it is abundantly evident that man’s body is far above the animal level and perfectly adapted to be the dwelling place of the soul and the instrument of its activity in a physical world. Even the Son of God took upon Himself the body of a man and, in its glorified state, still bears that body in heaven. This means that man’s body is worthy of honor and considerate care and use. The real image of God in man is a moral and spiritual likeness. Man is a moral being, knowing the dif ference between right and wrong He has all the characteristics of personality, self-consciousness, in telligence, feeling and will. That image has been marred and defaced by sin, but it is still there. Even in the lowest man or woman it is capable of being reached and trans formed by the grace of God. 2. How He Blessed Man (v. 28) He gave man “a help meet for him’ (Gen. 2:18); that is, a completely suitable companion and helper. He gave him dominion over the entire earth, and his restless, pioneering spirit still presses toward the com plete realization of that promise. He provided for every need of man, not only physical and social, but also spiritual, for we read that He walked with him “in the cool of the day” (Gen. 3:8), until man by his own sin broke that fellowship. God’s love toward His creation is shown by His provision for man’s complete joy and full usefulness. II. God On; Heavenly Father (Matt. 6:24-33) Two things harass the mind and heart of man—anxiety for today and fear for tomorrow. He must have what he and his family needs for today, and it is a constant struggle for most men to meet that need. Then, as though that were not enough, there is always the mor row’s new and possibly greater needs. Even those who have all they need today live in dread (and well they may if they do not trust God) that tomorrow or next week or next year they too may be in need. Our text meets both prob lems, for it tells us 1. Why We Need Not Be Anxious Today (vv. 24-31). The answer is simple—look at the birds. They cannot work, they are not even able to pray, yet God feeds them. Consider the glory of the flowers. Even a king cannot dress in such beauty—God provided it for them. Are ye not much better than they?” (v. 26). No bird ever worried because it did not have a meal laid by for to morrow, and no flower has fretted itself lest its blossom failed to come forth in its accustomed beauty. Why should we be anxious? Intelligent forethought is good and proper, but anxiety about our daily needs is always dishonoring to God. He is ready and able to meet our daily need. 2. Why We Need Not Fear To morrow (w. 32, 33). “Your heaven ly Father knoweth that ye have need” (v. 32). Does not that settle the whole future? It is in God’s hands, and even if it were in our hands, what could we do about it? Tomor row with its joys and sorrows is not yet here, and when it does come God will be here as a loving Father to graciously provide for every moment of it. What then shall we do? Verse 33 tells us, “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness.” Give God first place in your life and He will see that all “these things” are added. Simple, isn’t it? and blessedly true. Let’s trust Him! r JST. J0SL UHCEST SELIEH AT H We Are Novices We arrive complete novices at the different ages of life, and we often want experience in spite of the number of years.
