  • At the Mercy of Tiberius a Novel
    AT THE MERCY OF TIBERIUS A NOVEL By AUGUSTA JANE EVANS AT THE MERCY OF TIBERIUS CHAPTER I. "You are obstinate and ungrateful. You would rather see me suffer and die, than bend your stubborn pride in the effort to obtain relief for me. You will not try to save me." The thin, hysterically unsteady voice ended in a sob, and the frail wasted form of the speaker leaned forward, as if the issue of life or death hung upon an answer. The tower clock of a neighboring church began to strike the hour of noon, and not until the echo of the last stroke had died away, was there a reply to the appeal. "Mother, try to be just to me. My pride is for you, not for myself. I shrink from seeing my mother crawl to the feet of a man, who has disowned and spurned her; I cannot consent that she should humbly beg for rights, so unnaturally withheld. Every instinct of my nature revolts from the step you require of me, and I feel as if you held a hot iron in your hand, waiting to brand me." "Your proud sensitiveness runs in a strange groove, and it seems you would prefer to see me a pauper in a Hospital, rather than go to your grandfather and ask for help. Beryl, time presses, and if I die for want of aid, you will be responsible; when it is too late, you will reproach yourself. If I only knew where and how to reach my dear boy, I should not importune you.

  • First Plenary Council of Australasia, 14-29 November 1885 – Part 1
    First Plenary Council of Australasia, 14-29 November 1885 – Part 1 First Published in The Swag, Vol. 26, No. 2, Winter 2018, pp. 8-12, republished with permission by Catholics For Renewal 8 June 2018 This is the fourth in a seriesof articles looking at the particular (provincial and plenary) councils of the Catholic Church held in Australia between 1844 and 1937. It examines, in 2 Parts, the 1885 First Australasian Plenary Council which officially brought together the Churches in Australia and New Zealand for the first time. Part 2 will appear in the Spring 2018 edition. In the period 1870-1885 fourteen particular councils were held in English-speaking mission territories across the world: 3 in Canada, 1 in England, 1 in Ireland, 8 in the USA and 1 in Australasia. The 1875 Maynooth Plenary in Ireland would significantly influence the Australasian council. Developments and preparations Between 1869 and 1885 three new dioceses were established in Australia - Ballarat (1874), Sandhurst (1874) and Rockhampton (1882) – as well as the Vicariate Apostolic of Queensland (1877)). In 1874 Melbourne became an Archdiocese and Metropolitan See for the new Province of Melbourne which in 1885 had 5 suffragan sees: Hobart, Perth, Adelaide, Ballarat and Sandhurst. Councils representing all the churches of Australia would now have to be ‘plenary’, not ‘provincial’. The 1869 Provincial Council had made no plans for a follow-up, but in 1882 Archbishop Vaughan sought permission to convoke a provincial council for Sydney. The Sacred Congregation de Propaganda Fide (‘Propaganda’) was supportive, but urged him to plan carefully and make use of the 1st Vatican Council (1869-1870) and the councils of Westminster, Baltimore and Québec.

    Page 1 18. XII The Funeral Ceremony 18.2.8. Masters and Servant 18.2.8.1. (a) Velvet paw - or smiles Note 133 (24 November) cases raised in the reflection of the previous note, before yesterday, are not the only ones to my knowledge, which confirm this presentiment that a superyang imbalance in the father (that this imbalance takes despotic forms or not), reverberates in the children by a rejection of the yang, which in turn can be expressed in many different faces. In boys, in the cases that are known and present to my mind at the time of writing, this refusal takes the form of a repression (more or less complete) on the manly side in his own person - and this refusal will surely follow him throughout his life (except deep renewal, something extremely rare). The case of my mother makes me realize that it is not always the same in a girl - unless there was at my mother also some refusal on the side manly of his being, speaking more subtle and would have escaped me until now 149 (*). Which is on the other hand, it is the opposite extreme effect - that of over-development of traits virile in it (in addition to an aversion to all that is feminine). I have heard of other cases in the same direction, in men (eg in the father of my mother) - that of a revolt against the father, expressing himself by the development of a strongly virile personality, able to face the father "to Since I have not had the opportunity to know such a case closely, I tend to believe that must be more rare.
