Official Organ of the Church of the Nazarene December 24, 1958 Our Heavenly Father, we bring to Thy house on this the Lord’s day our offering of praise. Thy bounteous mercy in the gift of Thy Son overwhelms us. Help us never to take Thy love for granted, and more than all, save us from the sin of ingratitude. Thou hast showered blessings upon us, but help us not to become enamored with Thy gifts. We thank Thee for them all, but more, we praise Thee for thyself. Thou hast spared our lives another week and kept us from dangers seen and unseen. Our path has been pleasant and the fellowship of Thy children rewarding. We give Thee back the life we owe in glad and willing service. - We bring Thee the tithes of this week’s increase. Make us cheerful givers today, for we would enter into Thy redemptive mission. Show S t e w a r d S f ra r r General Superintendent Young us that this is worship too. May we not give out of a sense of duty, but help us to rejoice in this glad service. Sanctify these gifts to the extension of Thy kingdom here on earth. We bring Thee also our offerings today as an overflow gift. Re­ ceive them as gifts from our hearts of love. May their power and influence touch the faraway places of earth. Help us as a church not to forget Thy kingdom interests beyond our local borders. Thy Son did empty himself of all but love that He might save us. Help us to follow Him in self-denial, too. May our gifts today become messengers of the Cross for Thee. Teach us throughout all this week to be good stewards of Thy grace. Show us how to bear our witness in our own sphere of influence with telling words and with clear assurance. May we not become too busy to draw on Thy Word or to seek Thy face, but help us to put Thee first each day. Give us strength according to our day. When the pressure is on, give us, we pray, inner resources through the power of Thy Holy Spirit. In all things, direct our path. Give us God- dependence and save us from the conceit of self-planning. If Thou seest fit to shower material blessings upon us this week, may we not ascribe them to our own work or wisdom. Make us partners with Thee in all things. Thy command is our delight and Thy wish is become our command. When Thou art done with us here, bring us to Thy home of many mansions, where we shall serve Thee world without end. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Music Memoettes By OVELLA SATRE SHAFER J 5 ll December 24, 1958 "Won’t it be wonderful there?” are Vo1- 47> No- 43 the words that James Rowe, the versatile Telegram .

    Paranormal Romance Guide Adair, Cherry. “Black Magic.” Pocket Star. Ever since the death of her parents, Sara Temple has rejected her magical gifts. Then, in a moment of extreme danger, she unknowingly sends out a telepathic cry for help; to the one man she is convinced she never wants to see again. Jackson Slater thought he was done forever with his ex-fiance, but when he hears her desperate plea, he teleports halfway around the world to aid her in a situation where magic has gone suddenly, brutally wrong. But while Sara and Jack remain convinced they are completely mismatched, the Wizard Council feels otherwise. A dark force is killing some of the world’s most influential wizards, and the ex-lovers have just proved their abilities are mysteriously amplified when they work together. But with the fate of the world at stake, will the violent emotions still simmering between them drive them farther apart or bring them back together?

Billington The Librarian of Congress Washington, D.C. 20540-1000 Dear Dr. Billington: In accordance with Public Law 104-285 (Title II), The National Film Preservation Foundation Act of 1996, I submit to the U.S. Congress the 2003 Report of the National Film Preservation Foundation. It gives me great pleasure to review our accomplishments in carrying out this Congressional mandate. Since commencing service to the archival community in 1997, we have helped save 630 historically and culturally significant films from 98 institutions across 34 states and the District of Columbia. We have produced The Film Preservation Guide: The Basics for Archives, Libraries, and Museums, the first such publication designed specifically for regional preservationists, and have pioneered in pre- senting archival films on widely distributed DVDs and on American television. Unseen for decades, motion pictures preserved through our programs are now extensively used in study and exhibition. There is still much to do. This year Congress will consider the reauthorization of our federal grant programs. Increased funding will enable us to expand service to the nation’s archives, libraries, and museums and do more toward saving America’s film heritage for future generations. The film preser- vation community appreciates your efforts to make the case for increased federal investment. We are deeply grateful for your leadership. Space does not permit my acknowledging all those supporting our efforts in 2003, but I would like to single out several organizations that have played an especially significant role: the National Endowment for the Humanities, The Andrew W.

    1 Historical Romance Guide Alexander, Victoria. “What Happens at Christmas.” Kensington Books. Camille, Lady Lydingham, knows precisely what she wants for Christmas--an official engagement to a handsome, dashing prince. Her very proper suitor expects a proper English family and the perfect Dickensian Christmas, which leaves the lovely widow with a slight problem. The last thing Camille wants is for the prince to meet her unconventional relatives. But with the aid of a troupe of actors, Camille intends to pull off a Christmas deception of massive proportions. At least until Grayson Elliott comes back into her live after an absence of twelve years. (Millworth Manor #1) Alexander, Victoria. “The Importance of Being Wicked.” Zebra. For Viscount Stillwell, finding a prospective bride seemed easy, but Win soon found out endless gossip had broken all his engagements. He decided to hire a company to repair his family's fire-damaged country house. Nothing disreputable in that--until the firm's representative turns out to be a very desirable widow. Lady Miranda Garret expected a man of Win's reputation to be flirtatious, even charming. But the awkward truth is that she finds him thoroughly irresistible. For the first time, the wicked Win has fallen in love. And what began as a scandalous proposition may yet become a very different proposal. (Millworth Manor #2) Alexander, Victoria. “The Perfect Mistress.” Zebra. Widowed Julia, Lady Winterset, has inherited a book that every gentleman in London seems to want. Harrison Landingham, Earl of Mountdale, can't let the obstinate Julia release the shameless memoir that could ruin his family's name, but the only way to stop her may be equally sordid, for his rivals are intent on seducing the captivating woman to acquire the book.

    Modernized text Family Hymns (1767)1 [Baker list, #299] Editorial Introduction: After issuing Hymns for Children in 1763, Charles Wesley went nearly four years without a publication. But he was busy composing. In 1767 he released two major collections: Trinity Hymns and Family Hymns. While their themes are fairly divergent, the two collections bear evidence of being cultivated alongside each other. In particular, Charles arranged the first twenty-four selections in Family Hymns (1767) to correspond to the metre of the twenty-four Festival Hymns (1746), allowing him to suggest Lampe’s tunes for these hymns (and the others in the collection with the same metre). He used the same arrangement in the last section of Trinity Hymns (1767).2 While Trinity Hymns (1767) had a tight organizational structure and focus, following the outline of a book by William Jones, Family Hymns (1767) is a wide-ranging and eclectic collection of materials for personal and family devotional use. Some of the items were surely composed with the collection in mind, but Charles also gathered here many poems written in settings of his family life over the last two decades. The collection sold well enough to be reprinted in 1776. However, this was strictly a reprint, with no further editorial attention. It reproduces nearly all of the scattered misprints in the original. Editions: Charles Wesley. Hymns for the Use of Families. Bristol: Pine, 1767.

  • 1 the Problem of Sin and Crime in Domestic Tragedy Sandra Clark
    The Problem of Sin and Crime in Domestic Tragedy Sandra Clark Institute of English Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London [email protected] The domestic tragedies I am concerned with – Arden of Faversham, A Warning for Fair Women, Two Lamentable Tragedies, A Woman Killed with Kindness, and A Yorkshire Tragedy – were all written in a short pace of time, between about 1590 and about 1605. They belong to a particular moment in the religious and social culture of early modern England, which can be characterised in several ways. First, this was a time, in the post- Reformation period, when people believed themselves to be living in an alarmingly disorderly and sinful society. Historians concur in observing ‘an unprecedented concern about crime at an institutional level’1 although in fact levels of violent crime and disorder were gradually declining. Popular writers on crime, who did not generally use that term, regularly present themselves as living in times of exceptional wickedness. The author of A World of wonders. A masse of Murthers. A Covie of cosenages (1595) typically remarks on the variety of evil to be observed, such as ‘carnall and most unnaturall murthers, detestable periuries, cankered covetousne, incestuous adulterie, hardnes of hart, peevish extortion, exactious extorion, exactious usury, and divers most horrible and abhominable practices’.2 Another writer singles out one crime for special mention; in The Crying Murther: Contayning the cruell and most horrible Butchery of Mr Trat, Curate of olde Cleave (1624) it is observed that ‘our modern murders, which are the most raging where other sins are most reigning, seems equal, though not for number, yet for the manner unto those of the Mahometan assassins .

LASSITER A sharp clip-crop of iron-shod hoofs deadened and died away, and clouds of yellow dust drifted from under the cottonwoods out over the sage. Jane Withersteen gazed down the wide purple slope with dreamy and troubled eyes. A rider had just left her and it was his message that held her thoughtful and almost sad, awaiting the churchmen who were coming to resent and attack her right to befriend a Gentile. She wondered if the unrest and strife that had lately come to the little village of Cottonwoods was to involve her. And then she sighed, remembering that her father had founded this remotest border settlement of southern Utah and that he had left it to her. She owned all the ground and many of the cottages. Withersteen House was hers, and the great ranch, with its thousands of cattle, and the swiftest horses of the sage. To her belonged Amber Spring, the water which gave verdure and beauty to the village and made living possible on that wild purple upland waste. She could not escape being involved by whatever befell Cottonwoods. That year, 1871, had marked a change which had been gradually coming in the lives of the peace-loving Mormons of the border.

It gives me great pleasure to review our accomplishments in carrying out this Congressional mandate. Since commencing service to the archival community in 1997, we have helped save 730 historically and culturally significant films from 112 institutions across 36 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.

Unseen for decades, motion pictures preserved through our programs are now extensively used in study and exhibition. In 2005, Congress will consider reauthorizing our federal grant program for four more years. More archives, libraries, and museums request help each year, and federal investment will enable us to better serve these institutions. We remain deeply grateful for your indefatigable efforts in Washington on behalf of film preservation and applaud your leadership.
