The prayer is a kind of exploded collect—longer and more complex than is typical: https://www.cardus.ca/comment/article/habits-of-mind-in-an-age-of-distraction/ 1/15 5/4/2019 Habits of Mind in an Age of Distraction | Comment Magazine Appears in Summer 2016 O Blessed Lord, the Father of mercies, and the God of all comforts; We beseech thee, look down “ in pity and compassion upon this thy afflicted servant. Thou writest bitter things against him, and makest him to possess his former iniquities; thy wrath lieth hard upon him, and his soul is full of trouble: But, O merciful God, who hast written thy holy Word for our learning, that we, through patience and comfort of thy holy Scriptures, might have hope; give him a right understanding of himself, and of thy threats and promises; that he may neither cast away his confidence in thee, nor place it any where but in thee. Give him strength against all his temptations, and heal all his distempers. Break not the bruised reed, nor quench the smoking flax.

  • Wildlife Care Basics for Veterinary Hospitals Before the Rehabilitator Arrives a Word About Author The
    Wildlife Care Basics for Veterinary Hospitals Before the Rehabilitator Arrives A Word about the Author about Word A A Word about the Author Irene Ruth, Winchester Wildlife Irene Ruth spent over a decade working as an artist. She discovered the world of wildlife rehabilitation when a forester friend asked her to take in a litter of orphaned baby raccoons. Once they entered her life, there was no going back. She soon founded a wildlife rehabili- tation center, called Suburban Wildlife, at her home in Connecticut. She has rehabilitated hundreds of injured and orphaned wild animals every year since. When Irene and her husband, Gus, moved to New Hampshire, Suburban Wildlife became Winchester Wildlife, since the facility there is housed on over 100 wooded acres in a setting no longer quite “suburban”! Irene served as a board member of the Connecticut Wildlife Rehabilitators Association and was the New England state representative to the International Wildlife Rehabilitation Council. She is also the author of First Aid for Wildlife, a handbook for finders of wildlife in trouble, and co-author of Wild Mammal Babies: The First 48 Hours and Beyond. Wildlife Care Basics for Veterinary Hospitals: Before the Rehabilitator Arrives i Acknowledgements Contents of Table Acknowledgments Table of Contents This handbook was inspired by all the calls from veterinary offices requesting information about how to temporarily care for and treat injured and orphaned wildlife. Because the needs of wildlife A Word about the Author .......................................................................................................................................i are so different from those of domestic animals, it became clear that there was a wide information gap that needed to be filled.

  • Suburbs and Sagas in No Fond Return of Love
    ‘The Things I See!’ Suburbs and Sagas in No Fond Return of Love Sandra Goldstein Paper presented at the 13th North American Conference of the Barbara Pym Society Cambridge, Massachusetts, 19-20 March 2011 ‘Going to the window, he had seen the lady from next door with the fish’s name — Miss Dace — being handed out of a taxi by a gentleman who had kissed her hand in the Continental fashion. ‘The things I see! he said to himself. With a young girl and a boy perhaps it is nothing or of little importance, but with a by-no-means beautiful woman getting on in years, who knows what it might not be!’ Senhor MacBride-Pereira, a retired Brazilian diplomat, is looking out of the window of his flat on the top floor of a house in a suburb of London, and speculating on the nature of what he sees and the motives of those he observes. In a previous Pym novel, Less Than Angels, the sisters Mabel Swan and Rhoda Wellcome had also spied on their neighbors from an upstairs window, ‘which commanded an excellent view of the next door back garden.’ As Mabel put it: ‘What was the point of living in a suburb if one couldn’t show a healthy curiosity about one’s neighbours?’ Both No Fond Return of Love and Less Than Angels were set in the southwest London suburb of Barnes, in the borough of Richmond, where Barbara Pym and her sister Hilary moved in 1949. They lived at 47 Nassau Road, in a self- contained flat on the upper floor of a house owned by a very ‘refined’ lady, like Senhor MacBride-Pereira’s landlady, Mrs Beltane.
