It was moved, seconded, and carried that the printed Minutes of the 144th General Synod be adopted, as the legal minutes. Rev. William Leonard presented the report of the Administrative Com· mittee. REPORT OF THE ADMINISTRATIVE COMMITTEE Fathers and Brethren: The 144th General Synod meeting at Colorado Springs, Colorado, May 4·10, 1966, voted to continue the Administrative Committee as a temporary committee for the year 1966-67, with the new Moderator and retiring Co· Moderators given authority to appoint a total of eight members, including the Moderators, with the instruction that "the geographical concentration be considered a necessity so that this committee can function on a regular basis" (page 17, minutes 144th General Synod). Synod also provided that the committee be allowed to employ a part·time clerk, paid by the treasurer of Synod "as funds permit", and in the event the new moderator should be somewhat removed from the geographical concentration of the other com· mittee members, the committee would authorize the expenditure, from Synod funds, for at least two trips for the moderator to the committee's 4 meetings. In passing we would say that although several hundred dollars have been spent for these purposes, no Synod funds whatsoever were spent, or were they available. Synod also defined the duties of the Committee as follows: "that this Committee function between Synods, with the Moderator and the Stated Clerk, to assist in carrying out the actions of Synod, to assist in promoting the interests of the church as a whole by being an expediting body, a clearing house, and a guiding voice for all activities and programs of Synod, not specifically assigned to other agencies, committees and officers." COMMITTEE MEMBERS. In addition to Dr. H. S. Laird and The Rev. Frank Smick, Jr., co· Moderators of the 143d General Synod, and The Rev. W. B. Leonard, Jr., Moderator of the 144th General Synod, members chosen for this year were Dr. Marion Barnes and The Rev. Tom Jones of Lookout Mountain, Tennessee co· hosts for the 145th General Synod, Dr. Robert Rayburn and The Rev. Don MacNair of St. Louis, and The Rev. Harry Meiners, Jr., Stated Clerk of Synod. MEETINGS HELD DURING THE YEAR, Four meetings have been held, three in St. Louis, October 4, 1966, (all day), December 9 and 10 (two days), and January 26, 1967 (all day), and one at Lookout Mountain, May 15, 1967. ACTIVITIES. Throughout the year, in the above meetings and in vo· luminous correspondence, a great deal of work has been accomplished for the Synod, vital responsibilities which otherwise would not have been faced between Synods. The bulk of the Committee's work consisted of the im­ plementation of decisions of Synod not falling logically to a specific agency, helping to coordinate the work of Synod's agencies, the planning for this and future Synods, and a realistic and objective appraisal of our growing needs as a church family to have a regard for one another, to know why we exist as a Church, and to work better together to do the work of the Lord.

  • Puritans, Lawyers, and Politics in Early Seventeenth Century England
    REVIEWS PURITANS, LAWYERS, AND POLITICS IN EARLY SEVENTEENTH CENTURY ENG- LAND. By John Dykstra Eusden. New Haven: Yale University Press, 1958. Pp. xii, 238. $4.50. THE preface of this book reveals a scholar functioning in the best tradition of his profession. Aware that scholarship is fundamentally a cooperative enter- prise and yet that an author must ultimately "stand alone," Eusden acknowl- edges an indebtedness to many and modestly rates his own contribution to historical knowledge. Candidly, also, he confesses having had to abandon a conjecture which intrigued him, for "the evidence of Puritan influence on common law and vice versa did not materialize."1 He retreats to a relationship between Puritanism and common law which he is able amply to support, "one of ideological parallelism." His analysis concerns the substance of what men perseveringly wanted and manifestly expressed in the early seventeenth century, not with what the twentieth century might articulate for them. For his period of intensive study he takes the years 1603 to 1630, which were sketched in broader strokes by Notestein in his The English People on the Eve of Colonization.2 Although the first five chapters of the Eusden book deal with ideas and events familiar to students of the seventeenth century, the author engages in an organization of this material essential to his purpose. The Puritans of his study comprise three groups who worked together in their common predicament but were differentiated by their concepts of church organization-the Puritan Anglicans, the Presbyterians, and the Independents or pre-Civil-War "nonseparating Congregationalists," who favored an estab- lished but loosely federated church.

  • The Mythologizing of the Great Lakes Whaleback
    VERNACULAR IN CURVES: THE MYTHOLOGIZING OF THE GREAT LAKES WHALEBACK by Joseph Thaddeus Lengieza April, 2016 Director of Thesis: Dr. Bradley Rodgers Major Department: Maritime Studies, History The “whaleback” type of bulk commodity freighter, indigenous to the Great Lakes of North America at the end of the nineteenth century, has engendered much notice for its novel appearance; however, this appearance masks the essential vernacularity of the vessel. Comparative disposition analysis reveals that whalebacks experienced longevity comparable to contemporary Great Lakes freighter of similar construction material and size, implying that popular narrative overstates whaleback abnormality. Market and social forces which contributed to the rise and fall of the whaleback type are explored.

  • Hands Lost Kamloops • Isle Royale • Lake Superior
    All Hands Lost Kamloops • Isle Royale • Lake Superior Text by Curt Bowen Photography by Mel Clark and Curt Bowen Captain William Brian, wet and frozen from the brutal storm, gripped the wooden wheel, his knuckles sharp and white against the battered red of his hands. Near gale force winds smashed wave after wave across the decks of his ship, the Kamloops. The 250-foot, 2,226-ton, iron cargo ship was in a battle for her life, and all aboard knew that only his skill, and the grace of God, stood between them and the ravenous waters of Lake Superior. Rounding the northern tip of Isle Royale, the vessel had a straight shot towards the protective port of Thunder Bay, only a few hours ahead. First Mate Henry Genest’s eyes strained towards the bow of the ship, always on the watch for rocks or other vessels to appear through the driving sleet and snow. With the wind and waves approaching from the starboard stern, Captain Brian reached over and shifted the ship’s telegraph into the full ahead position. Chief Engineer Jac Hawman, bracing himself against the engine’s boiler, acknowledged the change in engine power. Loud and urgent, he shouted for more coal to be shoveled into the burners. Covered in black coal dust and sweat, the two ship’s firemen, Andy Brown and Harry Wilson, worked with a will to stoke the engines, fighting to keep upright as the ship lurched from port to starboard. Above the engine room, the remaining 17 crewmembers could do nothing but pray, braced against their bunks and trying not to be thrown onto the deck.
