JOYCE, D.D..LL.D. Of the Methodist Episcopal Church ; Chancellor of the U. S. Grant University INTRODUCTION A congress on Africa! Why not? What land is more entitled to our best thought, or more deserving the most helpful service we can render? Where the country with a history of more romantic interest, or one whose peoples have had a more varied experience or presented more serious problems for the study of mankind? Men, whose names are among the gi-eatest in history, have been its explorers, and the students of its languages and of its dialects. It is so rich in soils and in minerals as to excite the greed of the world, and the nations of the earth have con tended with each other for a division of its treasures. In the interests of com merce the steamers of the merchant princes navigate its waters, and the markets of the world are open to its products. A literature on Africa, rich in every way, has been created by scholarly men, who have made the most heroic sacri fices that they might acquaint the world with the present greatness and future possibilities of " The Dark Continent." These men, and others such as they, will continue to enrich with the best equipments those who wish to wisely study the many phases of the growing questions in relation to Africa. This Congress was surely in the order of Divine Providence. God uses men in the development of His plans. In this instance it was His servant, the Rev. W. F. Stewart, through the agency of whose consecrated wealth this " Mis sionary Foundation" was established, and the holding of this congress was made possible. Men of scholarship, and imbued with the spirit of Christ, deeply interested in the evangelization of Africa, came together from various parts of the United States and other countries, and presented well prepared papers on the subjects which had been assigned them. The discussions which followed revealed mental grasps of the subjects and the hearty interest of the speakers in the principles underlying the whole question. From the begin ning of the congress to its close the audiences were large and the interest very great. The utmost harmony prevailed in all the deliberations, and this volume, which is the result of the congress, is an evidence of the oneness of spirit that was at all times manifest, and also of the fervent conviction that pervaded all hearts that the Church of the Lord Jesus Christ ought to arise and go forth and evangelize Africa, thus obeying the command of the Lord to "Go into all the world." That she is able to do this there can be no question ; that it is her duty to -do this, all will agree ; but will she do this great work ? Our faith answers : Yea. The establishment of this Missionary Foundation is a strong testimony that the Holy Spirit is drawing the thoughts and hearts of the servants of God to the ever-crying needs of " The Dark Continent," and a careful reading of the pages of this book will make impressions which will strengthen the testi 8 Africa and the American Negro mony in favor of this truth. It would be well, from time to time in the coming years, for those in charge of this great interest to hold other congresses of like character and purpose with this one, and thus widen and intensify the influ ence of " The Stewart Missionary Foundation for Africa," in its association with Gammon Theological Seminary. Thus in all the years to come the names of Stewart and of Gammon would be blended in the thoughts and love of all good men, and the wealth they consecrated to the enlargement of the Kingdom of Christ among men would be multiplied many times in power for good and increased in influence for righteousness through all time, even unto the end of the world. Isaac W. Joyce Chattanooga, Tenn. REV. WM. F. STEWART, A. M. Establisher of the Stewart Missionary Foundation for Africa in Gammon Theological Semi nary ; For Fifty -Two Years member of the Ohio, then of the Rock River, Conlerence of the Methodist Episcopal Church; For many years one of the Trustees of the Northwestern University of Chicago. The Stewart Missionary Foundation for Africa and the Purpose of the Congress BY Prop. B. Iv. PARKS, D.D. Gammon Theological Seminary This Foundation is in the interest, especially among American Negroes,, of missionary work for Africa. It has been established by Rev. W. F. Stewart, A. M., of the Rock River Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church. It is the outgrowth of many years of thought in the consecration of a large portion of his property.

    Issue 142 AUGUST 2ND, 2021 Is there a reader among us who doesn’t dig ZZ Top? We mourn the passing of Joseph Michael “Dusty” Hill (72), bassist, vocalist and keyboardist for the tres hombres. Blending blues, boogie, bone-crushing rock, born-for-MTV visuals, humor and outrageousness – they once took a passel of live animals on stage as part of their 1976 – 1977 Worldwide Texas Tour – Hill, drummer Frank Beard and guitarist Billy F. Gibbons have scorched stages worldwide. As a friend said, “it’s amazing how just three guys could make that much sound.” Rest in peace, Mr. Hill. In this issue: Anne E. Johnson gets inspired by the music of Renaissance composer William Byrd, and understands The Animals. Wayne Robins reviews Native Sons, the superb new album from Los Lobos. Ray Chelstowski interviews The Immediate Family, featuring studio legends Waddy Wachtel, Lee Sklar, Russ Kunkel and others, in an exclusive video interview. I offer up more confessions of a record collector. Tom Gibbs finds much to like in some new SACD discs. John Seetoo winds up his coverage of the Audio Engineering Society’s Spring 2021 AES show. Ken Sander travels through an alternate California reality. WL Woodward continues his series on troubadour Tom Waits. Russ Welton interviews cellist Jo Quail, who takes a unique approach to the instrument. In another article, he ponders what's needed for sustaining creativity. Adrian Wu looks at more of his favorite analog recordings. Cliff Chenfeld turns us on to some outstanding new music in his latest Be Here Now column.

  • ABSTRACT Animals Now and Then Allison Krile Thornton, Ph.D. Mentor
    ABSTRACT Animals Now and Then Allison Krile Thornton, Ph.D. Mentor: Alexander R. Pruss, Ph.D. One aim of this dissertation is to remove ambiguities that have impeded a clear discussion and adequate evaluation of animalism. To that end I develop a taxonomy of different varieties of animalism and argue that there are substantive differences between them. In earlier debates about animalism, the previously elided distinctions that my taxonomy makes clear create unnecessary confusion and disagreement. My taxonomy resolves some of that confusion and provides the parties to the debate with a conceptual framework for importantly distinct accounts of personal identity. I also evaluate animalist arguments in light of the distinctions my taxonomy tracks. Specifically I identify which arguments support which varieties of animalism. The most popular varieties, I argue, are critically under-supported. All rely on a tacit presupposition that ‘animal’ is a natural kind term or a substance sortal, a supposition that animalists are under some pressure to reject. Thus, my evaluation prompts a refocusing of the standard defenses of animalism to prioritize defending the tacit presupposition. Finally, I defend a hylomorphic variety of animalism from two objections: first, from the objection that if animalism is true, then human persons cannot survive death, or at least they cannot exist in an intermediate, disembodied state between their deaths and resurrections (if indeed they are to be resurrected). I do this by arguing that given hylomorphism, animals can become immaterial, and that this is less an affront to intuition and mereology than it might seem. Second, I defend a hylomorphic variety of animalism from the objection that if it is true, we are not the primary thinkers of our thoughts.

  • Rock Album Discography Last Up-Date: September 27Th, 2021
    Rock Album Discography Last up-date: September 27th, 2021 Rock Album Discography “Music was my first love, and it will be my last” was the first line of the virteous song “Music” on the album “Rebel”, which was produced by Alan Parson, sung by John Miles, and released I n 1976. From my point of view, there is no other citation, which more properly expresses the emotional impact of music to human beings. People come and go, but music remains forever, since acoustic waves are not bound to matter like monuments, paintings, or sculptures. In contrast, music as sound in general is transmitted by matter vibrations and can be reproduced independent of space and time. In this way, music is able to connect humans from the earliest high cultures to people of our present societies all over the world. Music is indeed a universal language and likely not restricted to our planetary society. The importance of music to the human society is also underlined by the Voyager mission: Both Voyager spacecrafts, which were launched at August 20th and September 05th, 1977, are bound for the stars, now, after their visits to the outer planets of our solar system (mission status: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/status/). They carry a gold- plated copper phonograph record, which comprises 90 minutes of music selected from all cultures next to sounds, spoken messages, and images from our planet Earth. There is rather little hope that any extraterrestrial form of life will ever come along the Voyager spacecrafts. But if this is yet going to happen they are likely able to understand the sound of music from these records at least.

  • Bishop Levi SCOTT and Nineteenth-Century BLACK Methodism Joseph F. Dipaolo on July 20
    Methodist History, 55:4 (July 2017) “SO SHALL THeiR CHAinS FALL OFF” BiSHOP Levi SCOTT AnD nineTeenTH-Century BLACK MeTHODiSM Joseph F. DiPaolo On July 20, 1882, just one week after the death of Levi Scott, senior bishop of the Methodist Episcopal (ME) Church, delegates of the Delaware Conference convened for their annual session in Centreville, Maryland. Founded in 1864, the Delaware Conference had been the first within the ME Church in America to allow full ordination and conference membership for African-American preachers. During the session, the body adopted a resolu- tion expressing its esteem for the departed bishop. The tribute declared Scott, “from the beginning to the end . a friend of the colored race,” who in the 1850s, despite “vigorous objections offered by some of the leading men of the Church,” had organized the church’s first official conferences of black preachers. The delegates added that Bishop Scott will not be forgotten when the names of John Brown, Abraham Lin- coln, Gen. U. S. Grant and Gen. James A Garfield are being read and thought of as the heroes of national freedom in this country.1 Within that constellation of national stars, however, the memory of Bish- op Scott quickly faded. He has been largely forgotten by the church he helped to shape, and all but ignored by Methodist historians. Apart from a biography published by his son-in-law three years after his death, and a few contemporary sketches, there has been not a single serious article or book written to explore his life and ministry during the last one hundred and thirty years.2 Levi Scott nonetheless helped to shape the Methodism 1 Minutes of the Delaware Conference of the Methodist Episcopal Church, 1879-1882 (Bound, handwritten volume, in possession of Zoar United Methodist Church, Philadelphia), 196-197.
