  • Here Is Characteristically Anglican Liberty Which Encourages Members „To Develop Their Personal Gifts and Thus to Enrich the Offering Laid at the Feet of Christ‟
    THE ORATORY OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD The First Seventy Five Years by GEORGE TIBBATTS,* OGS {* spelling corrected} - 2 - {iv} Copyright © Almoner, Oratory of the Good Shepherd 1988 Published by The Almoner, OGS, 56 Buckland Crescent. Windsor, Berks. Printed by Dramrite Printers Ltd, Southwark, London SE1 ISBN No. 1 871161 00 2 In this digital copy the start of each page of the book and other editorial notes are shown by e.g. {10}. - 3 - {v} FOREWORD This history appears as the Oratory celebrates the seventy fifth anniversary of its foundation in Cambridge in 1913. Canon Tibbatts, who has served both as Secretary-General and Superior, is uniquely qualified to tell the story. His association with the Oratory began in his undergraduate days at Kings in the l920ies. He knew personally the founding fathers and enjoyed their friendship. In the years preceding the first world war three young clerical dons (John How, Eric Milner-White and Edward Wynn) sought to establish a society for celibate priests, bound by a common rule of life, marked by Catholic discipline of prayer and devotion, and characterised by the importance attached to regular and systematic study in the life of a priest Their inspiration was drawn from the Catholic revival of the previous century, and they were concerned to make a distinctive witness in the religious life of the University. The ethos of the Oratory was, and has continued to be essentially Anglican in its Catholic form. The devotion to Our Lord as the Good Shepherd, the adoption of Nicholas Ferrar of Little Gidding as patron, testify to the pastoral ideal and English temper of the Oratory.

  • Cap Benjamin Barnes Charles Curtiss
    Ancestors and Descendants of Cap Benjamin Barnes and Charles Curtiss of Granville, Mass. By Abel Tuttle Barnes Great-grandson of Capt. Benjamin Member New England Historic Genealogical Society SHARON, MASS. ½ ~ :JGift'.s :tlllirrnr There are Joyal hearts, there are spirits brave, There are souls that are pure and true; Then give to the world the best you have And the best will come back to you. Give love and love to your life will flow, A strength in your utmost need; Have faith and a score of hearts will show Their faith in your word and deed. Give truth and your gift will be paid in kind, And honor will honor meet. And a smile that is sweet will surely find A smile that is just as sweet. For life is a mirror of king and slave, 'Tis just what we are and do; Then give to the world the best you have And the best will come back to you. -Author unknown. EXPLANATIONS IN this work the family heads are arranged somewhat dif­ ferently from that in common use; as the title-page implies, this is a record of the descendants of Capt. Benjamin Barnes. In the family headings the descendant, whether male or female, is placed first; hence the wife, in cases where she is the descendant, will have her name placed before that of her husband. The direct descent back to Capt. Benjamin is given in small type directly under each family heading. The family heads will be in larger, black-face type, and the direct ancestors' birth number and name in record of ancestors the same.

  • A Sip of the Chagres
    A SIP OF THE CHAGRES THE LAND OF THE COCOANUT-TREE From "Panama Patchwork" (original spelling) James Stanley Gilbert 1853-1906 AWAY down south in the Torrid Zone, North latitude nearly nine, Where the eight months' pour once past and o'er, The sun four months doth shine; Where 'tis eighty-six the year around, And people rarely agree; Where the plaintain grows and the hot wind blows, Lies the Land of the Cocoanut Tree. Tis the land where all the insects breed That live by bite and sting; Where the birds are quite winged rainbows bright, Tho' seldom one doth sing! Here radiant flowers and orchids thrive And bloom perennially- All beauteous, yes - but odorless! In the Land of the Cocoanut-Tree. 'Tis a land profusely rich, 'tis said, In mines of yellow gold, That, of claims bereft, the Spaniards left In the cruel days of old! And many a man hath lost his life That treasure-trove to see, Or doth agonize with steaming eyes In the Land of the Cocoanut-Tree! 'Tis a land that still with potent charm And wondrous, lasting spell With mighty thrall enchanteth all Who long within it dwell; 'Tis, a land where the Pale Destroyer waits And watches eagerly; 'Tis, in truth, but a breath from life to death, In the Land of the Cocoanut-Tree. 1 Then, go away if you have to go Then, go away if you will! To again return, you will always yearn While the lamp is burning still! You've drank the Chagres water And the mango eaten free, And, strange tho' it seems, 'twill haunt your dreams -- This land of the Cocoanut-tree.
