WE have again diligently and carefully collected and arrranged useful information regarding Buteshire as it is to-day—with its officials, householders, and business people—and once more have pleasure in giv- ing the compilation the honours of the Press. The previous four sections of the Directory are con- tinued, and to facilitate the search for information the different portions are again printed on distinctively coloured papers—a feature of acknowledged benefit for expeditious reference. vertising friends appreciate the distribu- As our Ad v tion of their announcements facing the text of the book, we hope, with continued prompt receipt of orders, to be enabled to make permanent this decided benefit. Our desire is to overlook no interest, and therefore, we respectfully solicit notices of. alterations or additions as early as possible, so that these may be given effect to. This Directory is a much more important publication than many imagine. It is not only at hand for reference at all times throughout the county, but it is also ready for reference in the libraries of Glasgow, Edinburgh, London, Dublin, Cambridge, Oxford, &c, and in numerous business houses and agencies in busy centres throughout the king- dom; so we are particularly anxious tfciat nothing of benefit to Buteshire be omitted, but that all interests have a good show, and everything be brought thoroughly up to date. Our best thanks are again accorded to those who have in any way helped us in this compilation. It takes long and careful vigilance to ascertain and give effect to the continual changes, and prompt information and "orders are, consequently, particularly acceptable and valuable.

  • T. F. Torrance on the Centenary of His Birth: a Biographical and Theological Synopsis with Some Personal Reminiscences
    T. F. TORRANCE ON THE CENTENARY OF HIS BIRTH: A BIOGRAPHICAL AND THEOLOGICAL SYNOPSIS WITH SOME PERSONAL REMINISCENCES Thomas A. Noble, PhD Professor of Theology, Nazarene Theological Seminary Senior Research Fellow in Theology, Nazarene Theological College, Manchester [email protected] Abstract: Given as a lecture at the meeting of the T. F. Torrance Theological Fellowship on 21st November, 2013, this paper celebrates the centenary of Torrance’s birth. It begins with the world into which he was born and the ethos of the evangelical missionary movement to which his family belonged. Major aspects of his thinking are considered against his biographical background as they became prominent in the development of his theology: the Reformed tradition and his ecumenical endeavours, his profound analysis of the scientic metho of theolog in relation to the natural sciences his focus on the Incarnation and the Atonement, his engagement with the Greek Fathers, and his place in the Trinitarian revival. The review of Torrance’s thought is interspersed with personal reminiscences from several years as Torrance’s student at New College, Edinburgh in the 1970s and from later contact. To return in thought to 1913, the year in which T. F. Torrance was born, is to return to another world. The German Kaiser, the Austrian Kaiser, the Czar of all the Russias, and the Sultan of the Ottoman Empire all still ruled – not to mention his Britannic Majesty, King George V, Emperor of India, presiding over the largest empire the world had ever seen. His Royal Navy dominated the oceans of the world and had been instrumental in abolishing piracy and the slave trade for ever (or so it was thought).
