This book was released on 2017-10-26 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from St. Andrew, the Patron Saint of Scotland Other countries than Scotland have their tutelar Saints. England honors St. George, who is represented on horseback, clad in full armor with a vanquished dragon at his feet. Ireland patronises St. Patrick; while the guardian saint of Spain is St. James of France, St. Denis; of Italy, St. Anthony; and of Wales, St. David. The patron Saints of Genoa, are St. George, St. Lawrence and St. John the Baptist. On the piazzetta at Venice, their are two granite columns, one bearing the Winged Lion of St. Mark, the emblem of the tutelary Saint of Venice; the other, St. Theodore on a crocodile, the patron of the ancient Republic. St. Michael is regarded 'as the patron or guardian angel of the Jews. But this is a degression. I will not test your patience by reference to other celebrities, but proceed at once to present the historical and legendary account of our own revered patron Saint, who is also the patron of Russia, Hungary and Burgundy. In this effort to throw some new light upon the history of St. Andrew, and to illustrate his character, I shall necessarily blend to a very large extent, the authentic record of Scripture with statements which rest alone on tradition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Martyrs and Confessors of St. Andrews The following sketches appeared during the last six months in the columns of the Fife Herald, the St Andrews citizen, and the Fife News. Although necessarily written in a somewhat popular manner, pains were taken to ascertain the facts, and to state them correctly and all have been carefully revised ere thrown 03 in this more permanent form. As ninety-dve years elapsed before Paul Craw was followed to the stake by another Martyr in Scotland, it seemed advisable to present a brief outline of that period, in the beginning of the chapter on Patrick Hamilton. Perhaps the ac count there given of Patrick Graham should have formed' the substance of a separate article. As Walter Myln suflered only thirty years after Hamilton, it was impossible to prevent over lapping; but needless repetition has lously shunned.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of St. Andrews, Episcopal, Monastic, Academic, and Civil, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising the Principal Part of the Ecclesiastical History of Scotland, From the Earliest Age Till the Present Time Some account Of the ancient Metropolitan See Of St Andrews, - once the Canterbury Of Scotland - the seat Of its Oldest University - the nursery Of the Reforma tion - and the scene Of many memorable occurrences, may be thought deserving Of attention in this age Of general inquiry. By nothing was St Andrews SO much distinguished, from the ninth to the seventeenth century, as by its long line Of Bishops and Archbishops, among whom the sons and grandsons of our Scottish kings did not disdain to rank themselves. TO an historical and biographical account Of these Prelates, I have devoted a large, and I hope not an uninteresting, portion Of this work; which will be found to include, at the same time, the principal events in the ecclesiastical annals Of our country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Patron Saints It is one of the misfortunes of abridged histories for children, that they give the dry facts, without any of those pleasing digressions that sustain the interest of the adult reader in the perusal of the original work. It is like feeding on condensed meats, which, however nutritious, fail to give the relish of the usual dishes of beef and mutton.

Download or read book The Vision of the Pilgrim Fathers written by John Cordner and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-11-25 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Vision of the Pilgrim Fathers: An Oration, Spoken Before the New England Society of Montreal, in the American Presbyterian Church, on 22nd December, 1856 This is a day sacred in the remembrance of New Eng land. Old England, Old Ireland, Old Scotland, have all their Saint's days, when the banners of Saint George, Saint Patrick, Saint Andrew, are Opened to the breeze. All these ancient lands have honorable and stirring associations for their children to hold as cherished treasures. But on this day, so sacred in the remembrance of New England, you call on the name of no canonized Saint. I t is Forefathers' day. Here, in the name, may we find an indication that we approach a new his toric period - a fresh unfolding of the Divine Order in God's dealings with the nations. Of the Patron Saints of the old lands we have but indistinct traditions. The Fore fathers Of' New England stand fairly revealed in the light of history, and we can trace their motives and their deeds. The St. George of merrie England, the St. Patrick of my own Ireland, and the St. Andrew of bonnie Scotland, stand too remote for any criticism on their person and character. Legend has its halo and its mist, and while the one lights up their excellencies, the other obscures their defects. The Fathers and Founders of New England lie more within the Scope of our historic vision, and the angularities of their character have been criticised both by friend and foe. We see that they were men like ourselves, with human weaknesses and though rising above their age insome respects were quite on a level with it in others.
