  • The Life Triumphant: Mastering the Heart and Mind by James Allen
    The Life Triumphant: Mastering the heart and mind By James Allen Contents 1. Foreword 2. Faith and Courage 3. Manliness, Womanliness and Sincerity 4. Energy and Power 5. Self-Control and Happiness 6. Simplicity and Freedom 7. Eight Thinking and Repose 8. Calmness and Resource 9. Insight and Nobility 10. Man the Master 11. Knowledge and Victory Foreword EVERY BEING LIVES in his own mental world. His joys and sorrows are the creations of his own mind, and are dependent upon the mind for their existence. In the midst of the world, darkened with many sins and sorrows, in which the majority live, there abides another world, lighted up with shining virtues and unpolluted joy, in which the perfect ones live. This world can be found and entered, and the way to it is by self-control and moral excellence. It is the world of the perfect life, and it rightly belongs to man, who is not complete until crowned with perfection. The perfect life is not the faraway, impossible thing that men who are in darkness imagine it to be; it is supremely possible, and very near and real. Man remains a craving, weeping, sinning, repenting creature just so long as he wills to do so by clinging to those weak conditions. But when he wills to shake off his dark dreams and to rise, he arises and achieves. James Allen Hail to Thee, Man divine! the conqueror Of sin and shame and sorrow; no more weak, Wormlike, and groveling art thou; no, nor Wilt thou again bow down to things that weak Scourgings and death upon thee; thou dost rise Triumphant in thy strength; good, pure and wise.

  • Christmas Carol Lyrics
    1 COMMUNITY CHORUS PROJECT, KIDZU CHILDREN’S MUSEUM & UNIVERSITY PLACE PRESENT A HOLIDAY SING ALONG! Conducted by Caroline Miceli & Accompanied by Scott Schlesinger JINGLE BELLS A pair of hopalong boots and a pistol that shoots Is the wish of Barney and Ben; Refrain: Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way Dolls that will talk and will go for a walk Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh Is the hope of Janice and Jen; Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way And Mom and Dad can hardly wait for school to start again. Oh, what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas ev'rywhere you go; Dashing through the snow in a one horse open sleigh There's a tree in the Grand Hotel, one in the park as well, Over fields we go, laughing all the way The sturdy kind that doesn't mind the snow. Bells on bob tail ring, making spirits bright. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas; What fun it is to ride & sing a sleigh song tonight! (Refrain) Soon the bells will start, And the thing that will make them ring is the carol that you A day or two ago I thought I'd take a ride sing right within your heart And soon Miss Fanny Bright was seated by my side; The horse was lean and lank. Misfortune seemed his lot, Santa Claus is Coming to Town We ran into a drifted bank and there we got upsot.

ALl TO FLOOD TO MARSHALL: THE MOST TRIUMPHANT OF WORDS ALFRED DENNIS MATHEWSON* I am honored to participate in this commentary on the Curt Flood Act of 1998.1 I shall not, however, provide a detailed analysis of its pro- visions. Instead I Will reflect upon my reactions to the Act. To be hon- est, I am disappointed. Negotiated by the Major League owners and the Major League Baseball Players Association through collective bargain- ing and modified by Congress, the Act is certain to become a staple of legislative drafting courses for decades. As others in this commentary may have stated, it is as notable for what it purports to do as for what Congress purports it does not do. The Act confers standing on major league baseball players to sue under the antitrust laws, does not other- wise change the extent to which the business of baseball is exempt from the antitrust laws, whatever it or its source may be, and declines to con- fer such standing on minor league baseball players even though they may have this 'standing' anyway.

    O come, all ye faithful, Joyful and triumphant, O come ye, O come ye to Bethlehem; Come and behold him, Born the King of angels. O come, let us adore him, O come, let us adore him, O Come, let us adore him, Christ the Lord. God of God, light of light, Lo, he abhors not the Virgin's womb; True God, begotten, not created. Lo! star-led chieftains, Magi, Christ adoring, Offer him incense, gold and myrrh; We to the Christ child Bring our heart’s oblations. Child, for us sinners Poor and in the manger, Fain we embrace thee, With awe and love: Who would not love thee, Loving us so dearly? We shall see the eternal splendor Of the eternal father, veiled in flesh, The infant God wrapped in cloths. Sing, choirs of angels, Sing in exultation, Sing, all ye citizens of heaven above; Glory to God All glory in the highest. Yea, Lord, we greet thee, Born this happy morning; Jesus, to thee be all glory given; Word of the Father, Now in flesh appearing. Focus Point: Christmas is about worship and we worship because of who Christ reveals God to be. 1. Lord He is the preexistent God. Before time, before anything, God existed. Exodus 3:14 I AM has sent me to you. John 8:58 Before Abraham was born, I AM! He is the creator.

    XV. The Apostles’ Creed in Biblical Perspective “I Believe...” “The Holy catholic Church” Ephesians 2:19–22 Dr. Harry L. Reeder III September 27, 2020 • Sunday Sermon This is the Word of God. Ephesians 2:19–22 says [19] So then you are no longer strangers and aliens, but you are fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God, [20] built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Christ Jesus Himself being the cornerstone, [21] in whom the whole structure, being joined together, grows into a holy temple in the Lord. [22] In Him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit. The grass withers, the flower fades, the Word of God abides forever and by His grace and mercy may His Word be preached for you. The Apostles’ Creed contain essentials distilled by those who had been discipled by the Apostles. The creed is the Apostolic writing of Christianity in the New Testament and how Christ is our Redeemer and the fulfillment of all the Old Covenant promises. It is laid out in a Trinitarian way, in the three paragraphs it contains. The Apostles’ Creed is as follows; I believe in God the Father Almighty, (first affirmation/1st Person of the Trinity) maker of heaven and earth; I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord, (second affirmation/2nd Person of the Trinity) who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended into hades.
