Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thanksgiving and Retrospect: An Address to the Students of Queen's by the Principal, on January 6th, 1902, in the Convocation Hall of the University My second fundamental political principle flowed from the first. For the good of Canada and its own and the world's good, the British Empire must form an efl'ective union. Here toodifiicul ties which seem to pessimists insuperable present themselves, for the nobler the organism the more formidable its enemies and dangers. All life is a battle, but only in overcoming these is character formed and life made complete. Separated from Britain, Canada would necessarily be always dependent on the United States, and wishing to honour and admire our neighbors - as well we may - we must meet them as equals. But, we shall be their equals, only when we share the burdens and responsibilities as well as the privileges and glory ofthe Empire. It may take long to bring this about, although it has come so much nearer of late that you, young men, need not despair of seeing the full realization of the glorious ideal.. At the present moment our position is not one to be proud of. From a wan - to the justice of which our Parliament had unnecessarily pledged itself, while both sides were engaged in peaceful negotiations the justice of which has been repeatedly affirmed by the Prime Minister and Parliament; and in'which we took active part enthusiastically at the outset, - we have quietly 'withdrawn, leaving the enormous cost in blood and treas ure to be borne by the senior partner. True, we are per mitting a few hundreds to be recruited for service, but on conditions that make our position more deplorable than ever. We are not to pay a cent of the cost! We give the bravest of our children to die by the bullet or still deadlier enteric but some one else must pay their wages. We do not grudge the blood of our sons, but with a treasury so full that we go on paying millions for bounties and bonuses to develop resources which are said to be the richest in the world, - we grudge food, clothing and transport for them. Let the weary Titan bearing on her back all the common burdens of the Empire in peace and war he at this charge also. Let Canada accept the blood money withouta blush. This state of things cannot continue. The Em pire must be practically as well as nominally united. That principle I continue to hold as axiomatic, if we are a nation in any sense I might say, if we are honest men, in any sense.

Download or read book The Storied Ethics of the Thanksgiving Psalms written by Joshua T. James and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Drawing on research from the field of narrative ethics, The Storied Ethics of the Thanksgiving Psalms argues that story and storytelling function as important instruments in a given community's ethical shaping. While this argument has gained some traction in the field of Old Testament ethics, it has yet to inform an ethical reading of non-narrative texts, such as the Psalter. However, because the thanksgiving psalms are characterized by their inclusion of the worshipper's story, they stand to benefit from the application of a narrative ethical approach. In the present study, this argument is tested through a close reading of three thanksgivings – Psalms 116, 118, and 138 – each of which clearly demonstrates a didactic concern. Yahweh is presented as one who is worthy of trust, even in the midst of personal disaster. The affirmation of Yahweh's character provides the framework for the community's continued (or renewed) commitment and trust, hope and expectancy. The example provided by the worshipper challenges the audience to pray as they prayed, to trust as they trust, to live with hope as they live with hope. In addition, these psalms, and the stories they retell, invite the audience to tell their story when God answers their prayers, and to do so in public, in corporate worship, for the benefit of the community. These intended results – prayer, commitment, trust, hope, expectancy, public storytelling and thanksgiving – are not typically pursued in “ethical” studies, but they are clearly part of the Psalter's comprehensive vision of the ethical life and are, therefore, worthy of careful consideration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Are Canadians so influenced by the United States that they lack a distinct identity? This question has preoccupied Canadians and Canadianists for years. Canada - An American Nation? is a compilation of Allan Smith's essays on the influence of American society on Canadian identity.

Download or read book Paul Thessalonica and Early Christianity written by Karl P. Donfried and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2003-01-30 with total page 398 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book concentrates on major Pauline themes and on I Thessalonians in its cultural and religious context, as well as exploring other major issues, especially with reference to chronology and Judaism. The question of Paul's Jewishness is therefore raised with a new urgency. What kind of a Jew was Paul? Why do we find so many coherences between his language and thought with that of the Community of the Renewed Covenant (i.e. the Essenes)? One of the essays, 'Paul and Qumran', suggests that the Dead Sea Scrolls offer valuable clues to understanding Pauline language and thought. If, in fact, there was contact between Paul and the Essenes, where would it have taken place? If such meetings were held, possibly, in the Essene Quarter of Jerusalem, is there a connection between that area and the location of the earliest Christians in Jerusalem? And what kind of Christians were they and how did they impact on the Apostle's missionary activity? In connection with this discussion of Paul and Judaism, a number of challenges are offered to the so-called 'New Perspective on Paul', especially in the work of E.P. Sanders and James D. G. Dunn, to suggest that a closer study of the Dead Sea Scrolls raises serious questions about the appropriateness of their interpretation of both Judaism and Paul, as well as opening new perspectives that will necessitate not only the rethinking of second temple Judaism, but also the origins of earliest Christianity and the relationship between them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The story of Boston is inextricably linked to food, hence its nickname "Beantown." Given the city's geography, its cuisine is understandably tied to the sea, with popular dishes such as lobster, oysters and clam chowder. These are still served today at classic restaurants like Union Oyster House, Parker's Restaurant and Legal Sea Foods. There are also neighborhood favorites such as Cantina Italiana in the North End and Sullivan's in Southie. In addition to Boston proper, the surrounding areas have their own specialties, including fried clams, the world's best roast beef sandwich and bar pizza. From famous spots like Cheers to new classics like Anna's Taqueria and the Summer Shack, join local author Zachary Lamothe as he explores the best food in Beantown.
