    November / December 2017 Down By The Riverside Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church Columbus Blvd & Christian St, Philadelphia, PA 19147 215-389-1513 Thoughts from the Rector’s Warden I’d like to begin by thanking everyone who helped to make Joy’s retirement celebration a joyous event. The day was filled laughter, lots of good food and a few tears. We are grateful for her 11 ½ years of devoted service to Gloria Dei. She will be missed. We are now in the transition phase. The next couple months will be an adjustment for all of us. We must remember to be kind to one another and support each other through this change. Rev. Paul Harris will continue to lead us in worship on Sundays as well as during the holidays. We are truly blessed to have him with us. The Search Committee of Gloria Dei has been working very hard interviewing candidates and sorting through resumes. Very soon we will be announcing the name of our next rector! Please keep this committee in your prayers. October is now coming to an end and Lucia practice has already begun. Thanksgiving will be here before you know it then it will be Christmas. Where did the time go? As we head into our busy season at Gloria Dei, we will be in need of lots of volunteers to help during Lucia. If you have some time to spare over Lucia weekend, Dec. 8th, 9th and 10th, we can certainly find a place to put you to work. Remember many hands make light work.

These block­ houses were to be their homes and these choppings their fields. Their arrival was the result of the efforts of a small group of men who had been working for a decade to populate the wilderness of northern Maine by the establishment of an agricultural colony from Scandinavia.

In 1820, when the population of the United States was less than ten million people, it began keeping records of the number of immigrants coming to this-country. In the more than one hundred and fifty years since then, over 46,000,000 immigrants have entered the United States. They, as well as the colonists and settlers who preceded them have come, not only from all the countries of Europe, but from al�_parts of the world. They brought with them a rich heritage of custom and tradition relating to the ways in which such festivals as Christmas, New Year, Easter and Thanksgiving are celebrated in other lands. Many of these customs and traditions are still observed in the United States and en­ rich our heritage. 11 The following account of these "old world customs and traditions is based largely on the per­ sonal recollections and ex'?erienc� of present a.nd past staff members of the American Council for Na­ tionalities Service • -2- CHRISTMAS IN AMERICA •- A HISTORY Christmas has had its own history in America.

  • Down by the Riverside
    November / December 2016 Down By The Riverside Gloria Dei (Old Swedes’) Church Columbus Blvd & Christian St, Philadelphia, PA 19147 215-389-1513 Thoughts from the Rector Words Matter For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven (NRSV) or, in “other” words There’s an opportune time to do things, a right time for everything on the earth (The Message) (Ecclesiastes 3:1) ‘Tis the season. What season? It’s time. Time for what? To do things. What things? I could go on but hopefully the point is coming clear. The author of Ecclesiastes, as many of you know, continues on in this familiar passage to answer some of those questions. And depending on which translation or paraphrase of the Bible you read, you’ll hear the answers differently as you understand the meaning of the words used. For instance, the New Revised Standard Version (NRSV) of the Bible continues: “a time to break down, and a time to build up,” while The Message version of the same verse says: “a right time to destroy and another to construct.” For some of us “break down” carries a different connotation, a different meaning, than “destroy.” Why am I being so picky about words? Well, we have all lived through some pretty confusing, provocative, and contentious “words” this political “season.” Words that, for some of us, have caused rifts in relationships; for others have inspired us; for yet others have caused us to despair or to rejoice. We have heard the same words but we have heard them, or understood them often in very different ways.

    THE COLORADO MAGAZINE Published Quarterly by The State Historical Society af Colorado Vol. XXIX Denver, Colorado, July, 1952 Number 3 The Beecher Island Battlefield Diary of Sigmund Shlesinger MERRILI; J. 1\LlTTES* Among the several bloody and well publicized historic en­ counters between Indians and white men on the High Plains, there is none more dramatic and soul-stirring than the affair be­ tween Colonel Forsyth's scouts and a Cheyenne horde under Roman Nose wbich began on September 17, 1868, on the Arickaree Fork of the Republican River, and which, through the heroic death of Lt. Frederick W. Beecher, has become immortalized as "The Battle of Beecher Island." The historic island itself, as well as a monument erected thereon in 1905 by the states of Kansas and Colorado, was long since destroyed by flood waters, but the site has been firmly identified by survivors, just west of the Kansas line and seventeen road miles below Vfray, Yuma County, Colorado. Accord­ ing to the original General Land Office Survey Map of 1877, the battlefield lies within the Southeast quarter of the Northeast quar­ ter of Section 21, and the Southwest quarter of the Northwest quarter of Section 22, Township 2 South, Range 43 West of the 6th Principal Meridian.1 As an employee of the National Park Service, the writer became interested in Beecher Island in connection with studies of historic and archeologic sites falling within proposed reservoir areas of the Bureau of Reclamation and the Corps of Engineers. It was noted that the proposed Pioneer Reservoir on the Arickaree River, dammed in the extreme northwest corner of Kansas, would im­ pound waters within "shooting distance" of the old battlefield, while a slightly higher elevation of the dam would result in its ob­ literation.2 In October, 1948, the site was inspected, photographs made, and data regarding the battlefield terrain were gathered.
