Download or read book In Stewart Times written by Edith L. Elias and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In Stewart Times: Short Character-Studies of the Great Figures of the Period This book is intended as a companion volume to In Tudor Times, and it is arranged upon the same plan. In adopting the spelling, "Stewart," I have followed Professor Tout, and other recent historians. The principal books which I have used, either as sources of information, or for purposes of quotation, are as follows: - Macaulay's History of England; Guizot's English Revolution; Green's History of the English People; Napier's Memoirs of the Marquis of Montrose; Calamy's Life of Baxter; Professor Tout's History of England; Milman's Annas of St Paul's; Forster's Life of Sir John Eliot; Pepys' diary; Lucy Aikin's Court of James the First; Arber's Reprints in An English Garner; Evelyn's Diary; Carlyle's Letters of Oliver Cromwell; Stanhope's History of Queen Anne; Clements Markham's Life of Fairfax; Guizot's Life of Oliver Cromwell; Lodge's Portraits of Illustrious Personages; several volumes in the "English Men of Letter Series"; and the contemporary songs and ballads in the "Roxburgh" and "Bagford" collections respectively. In selecting the characters for the essays, many important figures have had to be excluded. The aim has been to choose representatives from as many aspects of the period as possible, without giving undue preference to any single phase.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies in Character Present, therefore, predicts and predestines the character of the future. The eternal now of eter nity bids us live one day at a time and look above, not backward, nor beneath, nor speculatively for ward, but heavenward and Godward, for there alone is life and blessedness. Vain regrets for the past are of no avail, nor is chronic penitence and sorrow for erring action or wrong living, reason able or helpful. To regret one's errors to the point of not repeating them is true repentance. Emotional reactionary habits of thought are not conducive to stability of character, nor to the evo lution of ideal manhood and womanhood. Our ideals are glimpses of our own divine individualities which reflect the infinite perfection that we call God. To know the future with prophetic foresight is to be mentally in advance of the average mind, to enter some promised land of spiritual discern ment before the masses gain its borders, or to live on the heights of sinless thought viewing the great.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Studies of Great Bible Characters His book is a short course, through the Old and New Testaments, of twenty-one Studies of Great Bible Characters. There is here presented a number of biographies of men who were the outstanding and strategic lead ers of their own times. They not only moulded the thought and directed the action of the ages in which they lived but to-day are even more influential. They realized, were profoundly influenced by, and worked enthusiastically for ideals and principles which still lead us on. They had their faults. They were very human. They made mistakes, of which they bitterly repented, but above every other desire was that of bringing in the kingdom of God on earth this is their glory.

Download or read book Short Studies of Old Testament Heroes Classic Reprint written by Emma Amelia Robinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-17 with total page 152 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Studies of Old Testament Heroes The world will never cease to love the heroic, whether it is found xin man or woman, boy or girl. Even better is the fact that people are rapidly learn ing that heroes are not all of the same pattern, and that they are to be discerned in quiet scenes no less than in those of war and adventure. For a long time the Old Testament has been a wonderful book of heroes, because of the interest aroused by some of its characters, but the circle of these is growing wider, as the real spirit and work of others come to be known, so that now Abel, Amos, and Isaiah are felt to be heroic, along with David, Josiah, and Daniel. Then the great value of these and other characters of the Bible is that they are heroes for God and goodness, for right and for the true religion, and not merely for something that ends with this world.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Studies in Character These essays were all, in their original form, delivered as lectures to various ethical and educational societies. I do not offer them to the readers of the Ethical Library as a continuous, though ever so slight, study of the subject of character. To this subject, nevertheless, it appears to me that they do belong, all ethics and all educational science point back to character, its fundamental structure, its variety of type, and its ways of development. With this side of ethics and education these essays - each in its isolation and in its own way - deal. Therefore I have called them "Short Studies in Character "; but I beg the reader to accept them only as studies very short, very slight, and very inadequate in their range to the whole extent of their subject. Speaking generally, Part I. may be said to deal with considerations of character as such, and Part II. with educational problems arising therefrom. But the two subjects melt into each other, and the distinction made may very well sometimes be felt to be illusory.

Especially Woman, as a witty commentator has added. As Pope stole the whole of the shallow philosophy of his most celebrated essay from Bolingbroke, so he stole three-quarters of this, its most Often qu6ted couplet, from others - half his first line from Pythagoras, and all the second from Warburton. From such a pilferer one would not expect much that is original, but the Essay contains one doctrine that is undoubtedly original with Pope, and it is also undoubtedly erroneous: the doctrine, once universally accepted and now almost forgotten, Of the ruling passion.

In his youth he had been rather a timid boy, and was supposed by his brothers somewhat deficient in constitutional courage; but as he advanced towards manhood, a moral courage had supplied this original defect; and during his residence on the coast he often voluntarily braved the dangers of the Sea in the most fearless manner: frequently he went out in boisterous weather on board one of the fishing boats, exposed of course to all the privations of his hardy companions, and often passed the night in alternately aiding them in their pursuits, and in contemplating the beautiful or awful scenes by which he was surrounded. Heat length purchased a boat sufficiently small to be managed by himself alone, and in this he passed the greatest part of his.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Short Studies of the Heroes of the Early Church If the heroic element lent a charm to the study of Old Testament characters, it must give an added interest to the study of these makers of the early Church, whose every-day life was so full of heroism for the cross of Christ, and who, with one exception, gave his life for the Master. It would have been interesting to carry out the plan of the Character Studies, as in the first book of the series; but, in order to make the setting clear, it has been necessary to con fine this book to sketches. Rather than stories, that in these studies of the heroes we might also give the history of the Apostolic Church.

Where the mere statement of truth in the abstract may fail Of results, the illustration comes to the aid Of truth and impresses and fixes the thought upon the mind. In the following pages we have attempted to combine the two ideas. While the picture impresses the truth in one way, the printed page by example, figure or anecdote adds power Of retention and increases the amount Of truth Conveyed. We lay claim to no originality Of thought further than the manner Of arrangement and the method Of conveying the truth to the mind. Realizing the inspiration that noble deeds give to many a life and the advantage gained in noting the causes Of failure, we have added short. And striking biographies Of prominent men and women.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Men of Might: Studies of Great Characters These biographies were compiled to read to small sets of boys, varying in age from fifteen to eighteen: it was found that many boys appreciated a certain literary precision, which could hardly be attained in discourses delivered extempore from notes; and the time at our disposal being necessarily somewhat short, it was found difiicult to secure harmony and preportion in bio graphical lectures, unless the limits were carefully laid down beforehand. But it is intended that the lectures should be assisted by oral explanation and questions from time to time and if a teacher were to see that any set of boys found interest in a particular biography, the sources from which it can be illustrated and supplemented are easily available.
