Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A First Series of Church Songs A want has been long felt for a collection of Church songs to supplement the Hymn Book - songs with a distinctly Church and religious tendency, without being hymns. From the workshop, the kitchen, and the stable, we hear the most sacred words warbled lightly, because they have become familiar in church or chapel wedded to taking tunes. The English people, for lack of national "Volkslieder" such as the Germans possess, have become a hymn-singing people; and the hymn is sung regardless of the character of the words, because the people are cheerful and want to sing. Of late years Messrs. Sankey and Moody, and, later still, the "Salvation Army," have introduced religious songs which have at once become favourites, because the airs have been secular, and, in some cases, the words rollicking. The result has been a distinct lowering of the reverence of the people for holy things and holy words. Sacred aspirations and names, at which angels and devils bow, are trolled out or roared to music-hall tunes, sometimes by tipsy men, and often without thought. The tendency of these songs is not only to irreverence and profanity, but also to encourage heretical views of the scheme of Salvation. Justification is upheld as a sentimental outgush of excited hysteria, not as the gradual growth of a spiritual life; and this mischievous teaching poisons the sources of the moral conscience. In compiling the collection now presented to Churchmen, the authors have done their best to insist cm definite truth, and to make the song a vehicle for impressing some facts necessary to salvation on the minds of those who sing them. They have aimed especially at giving definite expressions to the doctrine of "the Catholic Church," a doctrine which is presupposed, rather than insisted on, in our hymnals. The Church's year brings the great facts of Our Lord's life and the event of Pentecost before people's minds, and the hymns accentuate the lessons of the gospels for the Festivals. But there is no great feast of the "Holy Catholic Church" at which this verity of the faith is insisted on; whence the need of supplementing the hymnal with Church songs teaching this doctrine, to be used at mission services, social gatherings, and in processions. In an age of flux in religious belief, and disintegration, social, political, moral and religious, we cannot sufficiently impress on the minds of Christians the fact of the unity of the Church Catholic in all ages and in all places, and of her being the one immutable guardian of the truth, moral and religious, amidst the general change and upheaval, and disturbance of traditional beliefs. A hymn should have its distinct character, be objective, and void of mawkish sentiment. It should be addressed to God, and not to the human soul, nor should it be an oblique sermon. It is an act of worship and praise. But a sacred song need not be so restricted; thus, such songs as "By the gate they meet us," "Sinner, come to Jesus," "We won't give up the Bible," "Nearer home," and the like are unsuitable for public worship, but they are tolerable at the religious class, in the home circle on a Sunday evening, and nor schools. The songs in this collection belong to this category: they are adapted both as to words and tunes for use outside the church as a supplement to the Hymnal. Just thirty years ago, the writer of this introduction began a similar collection, and laid it aside. He saw then that there was a need for such a book, but the demand had not come, so the time was not ripe for its production. In selecting the melodies rather a wide field has been travelled over. Some that may not appear of much merit when tried over on the piano are taken because experience has proved them to be good workable tunes when sung by a body of voices. The harmonies throughout have been composed, re-written, or revised by the Rev. H. Fleetwood She
Download or read book The Early History of the Congregational Church and Society of North Branford written by George Ingersoll Wood and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-07 with total page 26 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early History of the Congregational Church and Society, of North Branford: Delivered in the Congregational Church, Jan, 6, 1850 IT is among the first duties of every religious community which is fortunate enough to have a Past, to know its own history. Some of God's richest mercies to a given generation will be found to have had their earthly germ in times long past; and the} generation consequently which is not familiar with the experience of its predecessors, can have at the best but a very limited and imperfect view of the extent of God's goodness to itself. Each generation as it appears on the earth in its turn, (and especially here in New England, ) resem bles in an important respect the trees which beautify its surface; its roots - the source of its beauty and glory and life - lie buried in the soil. Whatever there may be in the character of this community which is. Worthy to be perpetu ated among the generations to come, came, under God, mainly, as I believe, from the fathers who lie buried in these adjacent grounds. I propose then to trace the history of this church and society, so far as the materials for such a history are still accessible - from its earliest days. The religious history of the early inhabitants of North Branford, until the year 1701, is nearly identical with that of the Congregational church of Branford, with which they were originally connected. We claim, therefore, a common property, and feel a common interest in all that pertains to the early history of that church. The outlines of that his tory, in a few words, may properly precede such matters as relate exclusively to ourselves.

Book excerpt: The average contemporary English speaker knows 50,000 words. Yet stripped down to its origins, this apparently huge vocabulary is in reality much smaller, derived from Latin, French and the Germanic languages. It is estimated that every year, 800 neologisms are added to the English language: acronyms (nimby), blended words (motel), and those taken from foreign languages (savoir-faire). Laid out in an A-Z format with detailed cross references, and written in a style that is both authoritative and accessible, Word Origins is a valuable historical guide to the English language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Adam and Eve, Also Called the Conflict of Adam and Eve With Satan: A Book of the Early Eastern Church, Translated From the Ethiopic, With Notes From the Kufale, Talmud, Midrashim, and Other Eastern Works As to the Book of Enoch, it was known only through a quotation from it by S. Jude v. 14, 15; and after him, from allusions to it by S. Hilarius, S. Clement of Alexandria, Origen, Geo. Syncellus, and others - until it was discovered in Abyssinia by Bruce, who brought several Ethiopic cepies of it from thence to Europe; one of which is now in the Bodleian Library. This was published and also translated by Archbishop Lawrence, in 1838. A later and more accurate edition of it was issued by Dr. Dillmann at Leipzig, in 1851 from several mss. Brought from Abyssinia since the days of Bruce; and it has been translated more than once Within the last few years. It is highly interesting, as a work of the probable date of its composition - not long before or after the coming of Christ. It is often quoted in the following pages.

Download or read book Textual and Material Culture in Anglo Saxon England written by D. G. Scragg and published by DS Brewer. This book was released on 2003 with total page 376 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Significant Anglo-Saxon papers, with postscripts, illustrate advances in knowledge of life and culture of pre-Conquest England. Thomas Northcote Toller, of the Bosworth-Toller Anglo-Saxon Dictionary, is one of the most influential but least known Anglo-Saxon scholars of the early twentieth century. The Centre for Anglo-Saxon Studies at Manchester, where Toller was the first professor of English Language, has an annual Toller lecture, delivered by an expert in the field of Anglo-Saxon Studies; this volume offers a selection from these lectures, brought together for the firsttime, and with supplementary material added by the authors to bring them up to date. They are complemented by the 2002 Toller Lecture, Peter Baker's study of Toller, commissioned specially for this book; and by new examinations ofToller's life and work, and his influence on the development of Old English lexicography. The volume is therefore both an epitome of the best scholarship in Anglo-Saxon studies of the last decade and a half, and a guide for the modern reader through the major advances in our knowledge of the life and culture of pre-Conquest England. , Contributors: RICHARD BAILEY, PETER BAKER, DABNEY ANDERSON BANKERT, JANET BATELY, GEORGE BROWN, ROBERTA FRANK, HELMUT GNEUSS, JOYCE HILL, DAVID A.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Church in England "Opposition to papal authority was familiar to men; but a spiritual supremacy, an ecclesiastical headship, as it separated Henry VIII. from all his predecessors by an immeasurable interval, so was it without precedent and at variance with all tradition." The causes which led to this spiritual supremacy were in Henry himself, whilst they were developed by peculiar circumstances. The young king, who in April, 1509, succeeded a cool, calculating, unattractive father, found England, in fact, recovering from a crisis. Every word and act of Henry VII. had contributed to strengthen the royal hand, whether for good or evil, and a situation singular in the annals of English history favoured his policy. The Wars of the Roses had produced little short of a revolution, whilst practically they had not affected moneyed interests. Neither famine, pestilence, nor high prices had followed in their wake. Their results as "wars of a class" were apparent all through the Tudor reign. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
