Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Nicholas the Weaver and Other Quaker Stories The warm reception which has been given to my former book of Quaker stories has encouraged me to write a fresh series of sketches of life and character among the Society of Friends in its first two centuries. As before, all are more or less founded on fact. The Yorkshire weaver who left the Roundhead army, and threw his uniform on to the bed canopy, is a tradition in my own family, and the little farmers boy who put his spelling-book into the churn, and in maturer years labelled the elderly goose, was my grandfather, although the rest of his life was certainly not that of "Stephen Grey." Some touching Minutes in the ancient records of the Sussex Quarterly Meeting of Friends suggested "Apprenticed by the Meeting" and "Poor Timatha," and in the latter case it seems right that the history of William Tuke's noble experiment in the humane treatment of the insane should be more widely known than it is. "Transported" is founded on an incident in the life of Elizabeth Dudley, who, when visiting Newgate with Elizabeth Fry, found an old servant of her own among the prisoners.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Living Remnant: And Other Quaker Tales Still there has been change, even in the last fifty years, and the slow-moving, cautious Quaker community shows it. The Friends of the present day have their Sunday schools, mission services and adult schools, work which in the quietism of the last century would have savoured too much of what was termed creaturely activity. For generations they have been on excellent terms with their Christian neighbours, with whom they now work shoulder to shoulder for the reclaiming of the world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Quaker Girl of Nantucket IN Nantucket town, on one of the streets which is more properly restrained, more certain than others where it wants to go, stands a house more ample than its fellows, and farther back from the cobble-stone pavement, so as to give it a few feet of grass plot in front, when other houses stand flush upon the sidewalk. It is a drab house, well furnished with drab' shutters, inside and out, whereas most of the Nantucket houses have no shutters at all. These differences give it an honorable distino tion. It is a foregone concession that the people who live there are to be very highly regarded. Three generations of Swains had passed quiet lives under the roof of this exceptional dwelling, and the fourth was represented by one little girl, Miriam Swain, some twenty Odd years ago.

Download or read book Albion s Seed written by David Hackett Fischer and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 1991-03-14 with total page 981 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.

Download or read book Hoosiers and the American Story written by Madison, James H. and published by Indiana Historical Society. This book was released on 2014-10 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
Download or read book Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus written by Lois Tverberg and published by Zondervan. This book was released on 2012-03-06 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this ebook download of Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus, Lois Tverberg challenges readers to follow their Rabbi more closely by reexamining his words in the light of their Jewish context. Doing so will provide a richer, deeper understanding of his ministry, compelling us to live differently, to become more Christ-like. We'll begin to understand why his first Jewish disciples abandoned everything to follow him, to live out his commands. Our modern society, with its individualism and materialism, is very different than the tight-knit, family-oriented setting Jesus lived and taught in. What wisdom can we glean from his Eastern, biblical attitude toward life? How can knowing Jesus within this context shed light on his teachings for us today? In Walking in the Dust of Rabbi Jesus we'll journey back in time to eavesdrop on the conversations that arose among the rabbis of Jesus' day, and consider how hearing Rabbi Jesus with the ears of a first-century disciple can bring new meaning to our faith. And we'll listen to Jewish thinkers through the ages, discovering how ideas that germinated in Jesus' time have borne fruit. Doing so will yield fresh, practical insights for following our Rabbi's teachings from a Jewish point of view.
