  • (July-November 1863) Lincoln's Popularit
    Chapter Thirty-one “The Signs Look Better”: Victory at the Polls and in the Field (July-November 1863) Lincoln’s popularity soared after the victories at Gettysburg, Vicksburg, and Port Hudson. His old friend from Illinois, Jesse W. Fell, reflected the changed public mood. In August, Fell told Lyman Trumbull that during the early stages of the war, “I did not like some things that were done, and many things that were not done, by the present Administration.” Along with most “earnest, loyal men, I too was a grumbler, because, as we thought, the Gov't. moved too slow.” But looking back, Fell acknowledged that “we are not now disposed to be sensorious [sic] to the ‘powers that be,’ even among ourselves.” To the contrary, “it is now pretty generally conceded, that, all things considered, Mr. Lincoln's Administration has done well.” Such “is the general sentiment out of Copperhead Circles.” Lincoln had been tried, and it was clear “that he is both honest and patriotic; that if he don't go forward as fast as some of us like, he never goes backwards.”1 To a friend in Europe, George D. Morgan explained that the president “is very popular and good men of all sides seem to regard him as the man for the place, for they see what one cannot see abroad, how difficult the position he has to fill, to keep 1 Fell to Lyman Trumbull, Cincinnati, 11 August 1863, Trumbull Papers, Library of Congress. 3378 Michael Burlingame – Abraham Lincoln: A Life – Vol. 2, Chapter 31 the border States quiet, to keep peace with the different generals, and give any satisfaction to the radicals.”2 One of those Radicals, Franklin B.

  • Executive Reports (Officers & Deans)
    EXECUTIVE REPORTS (OFFICERS & DEANS) REPORT OF THE BISHOP It is time for congregations and rostered ministers to assemble as synod – an expression of the church that enriches the bond of our baptismal fellowship, extends our proclamation of the Gospel, and strengthens our service in the name of Jesus Christ. We assemble – Freed in Christ for a New Day – confident that God’s intention is to demonstrate faithfulness to God’s people and to call believers to respond with lives of thanks- giving, praise, and compassionate deeds for Jesus’ sake. Synod Assembly 2019 will not be simply one more meeting. It will be an occasion when the Triune God acts to fashion a more faithful, robust Lutheran witness in northeastern Pennsylvania. We assemble, therefore, with anticipation on June 1, 2019 in Hazleton as the Northeastern Pennsylvania Synod – Evangelical Luther- an Church in America. It will also mark the 50th Anniversary of the synod’s incorporation, which we will ob- serve during the assembly luncheon. Assembly 2019 is planned for one day, so there is limited time to carry out the reporting and business re- sponsibilities to come before us. Planners worked hard to create an agenda that allows for effective comple- tion of our tasks and for meaningful interaction and conversation. Prompted by cost savings afforded by a one-day assembly, assembly planners encourage congregations to apply the savings to costs for a 21/2-day assembly in 2020, when sufficient time is needed to elect a new synod bishop. I continue to rejoice over the ministry exercised by pastors and deacons of this synod.

  • What's Happened to the Family Doctor? Ask Dwight Michael '78, M.D
    Summer GETTYSBURG 1994 What's Happened to the Family Doctor? Ask Dwight Michael '78, M.D. ome older readers will recognize the subject of the Norman Rockwell illustration on the cover. He (it was always he) was the kindly family doctor who had known you ever since you were "so high"—and knew the rest of your family, too. SHe was a friendly, caring presence during times of sickness or trouble, and on joyous occasions, as well. This wonderful doctor knew when it was important to examine a little girl's doll during an office visit. Not only that, he made house calls. He was a beloved and respected figure in the community. Is today's family doctor anything like him? Or has he completely vanished—blown away by threats of malpractice suits, high-tech medicine, overcrowded waiting rooms, and the higher status accorded specialists? To find the answers, Gettysburg chronicles a day in the life of Dwight Michael '78 M.D., who shares his views about being a family doctor, as well as his concerns about health-care reform. In other news, several Gettysburg College officials recently testified at a Congressional hearing on the exchange of land between the National Park Service and the College. The hearing received considerable media attention, but failed to clarify some of the issues, as the College had hoped. We present here a short but precise summary of the dispute. We hope you'll find the articles interesting, and—as always—we welcome your comments. The Editors Volume 85 Number 3 Summer 1994 GETTYSBURG Senior Editor A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A FAMILY DOCTOR Jerold Wikoff Associate Editor Emergencies, paperwork, long days, lack of time Susan Bryant (and lack of recognition) — they're all in a day's Class Notes work for today's family doctor.
