After this Declaration, let the World Imagine, hQw Difficult it is for me, not to Launch into your Gharader : But fince the Smoothnefs of your Temper, and depth of Judgment, are my chief Proteftion, I am loath to dilcompole you, by an ungrate- ful kepetition of thofe Virtues, which only pleafeyou in the Praftice : The World as lit- tle wants the Knowledge of 'em, as you de- fire the Recital. The Dedication, 'Tis your Happinefs, Sir, that your For- tune has fixed you above the need of Praife^ or Friends, yet both are equally unavoida- ble: For even to your Solitude, Praife will follow you, and grows fonder of you for your, Coldnefs ; (lie Loves you for your Choice of Pieafure, tliofe noble Pkafures of a Iweet Retirement, from v/hich nothing but th^ .Confideration of your Countrey's Weal cou'd draw you. ' But as no Man can properly be made a Pa- tron, whole Virtues have not in fome lort qualified him for fuch a Gare : So, Sir, it is- fufficient for me, that your Life and Conver- fation are the beft Heralds of your Power and my Safety. Here, Sir, I mufl: beg leave to clear my felf from what the ill Wifhesof fome wou'd haVe the World believe, that what I now of- fer you is Spurious, and not the Produfl: of my own Labour : And tho' I am pleas'd that this Report feems to allow it fome Beauties, yet 1 am forry, it has made a Diicovery of fame Perfons, who think me worth their Malice. This Dedication were little better than an ilffront, unlefs I cou'd with all Sin- cerity aflure you.

Had it not lucceeded, I fliou'd have had Modefty enough to impute it to my own want of Merit : For certainly the Town can take no Pleafure in decrying any Mans La- bours, when 'tis their Intereft to Encourage 'em ; every Gueft is the beft Judge of his own Pallat, and a Poet ought no more to Impole good Senle upon the Galleries, than Dull Farce upon the undifputed Judges. I firft confider'd who my Guefts were, before I pre- pared my Entertainment ; and therefore I ihall only add this as a general Anfwer to ail Objedions, that it has every way exceeded mine, and hitherto has not wrong'd the Houfes, Expectation ; that Mr. Souther)fs Good Nature (whofe own Works beft recom- mend The Dedication. mend his Judgment,) engag'd his Reputation for the Succefs, which its Reception, and your Approbation, Sir, has fince redeeni'd to the Intire Satisfaftion of S I R, Your moft Devoted^ Humble Servant?

  • Domestic Violence and the Implications For
    ABSTRACT WITHIN AND BEYOND THE SCHOOL WALLS: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND THE IMPLICATIONS FOR SCHOOLING by Elizabeth Joan Cardenas Domestic violence complemented by gendered inequalities impact both women and children. Research shows that although domestic violence is a global, prevalent social phenomenon which transcends class, race, and educational levels, this social monster and its impact have been relatively ignored in the realm of schooling. In this study, I problematize the issue of domestic violence by interrogating: How do the family and folk culture educate/miseducate children and adults about their gendered roles and responsibilities? How do schools reinforce the education/miseducation of these gendered roles and responsibilities? What can we learn about the effects of this education/ miseducation? What can schools do differently to bridge the gap between children and families who are exposed to domestic violence? This study introduces CAREPraxis as a possible framework for schools to implement an emancipatory reform. CAREPraxis calls for a re/definition of school leadership, home-school relationship, community involvement, and curriculum in order to improve the deficiency of relationality and criticality skills identified from the data sources on the issue of domestic violence. This study is etiological as well as political and is grounded in critical theory, particularly postcolonial theory and black women’s discourses, to explore the themes of representation, power, resistance, agency and identity. I interviewed six women, between ages 20 and 50, who were living or have lived in abusive relationships for two or more years. The two major questions asked were: What was it like when you were growing up? What have been your experiences with your intimate male partner with whom you live/lived.

  • The Winner Stands Alone
    The Winner Stands Alone Paulo Coelho Translated from the Portuguese by Margaret Jull Costa O Mary conceived without sin, pray for us who have recourse to thee. Amen. For N.D.P., who came down to Earth in order to show us the path of the Good Fight And he said unto his disciples, Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat; neither for the body, what ye shall put on. The life is more than meat, and the body is more than raiment. Consider the ravens: for they neither sow nor reap; which neither have storehouse nor barn; and God feedeth them: how much more are ye better than the fowls? And which of you with taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? If ye then be not able to do that thing which is least, why take ye thought for the rest? Consider the lilies how they grow: they toil not, they spin not; and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. luke 12 : 22–27 Whoever you are holding me now in hand, Without one thing all will be useless, I give you fair warning before you attempt me further, I am not what you supposed, but far different. Who is he that would become my follower? Who would sign himself a candidate for my affections? The way is suspicious, the result uncertain, perhaps destructive, You would have to give up all else, I alone would expect to be your sole and exclusive standard, Your novitiate would even then be long and exhausting, The whole past theory of your life and all conformity to the lives around you would have to be abandon’ d, Therefore release me now before troubling yourself any further, let go your hand from my shoulders, Put me down and depart on your way.

TO COVER OUR DAUGHTERS: A MODERN CHASTITY RITUAL IN EVANGELICAL AMERICA by HOLLY ADAMS PHILLIPS Under the Direction of Kathryn McClymond ABSTRACT Over the last ten years, a newly created ritual called a Purity Ball has become increasingly popular in American evangelical communities. In much of the present literature, Purity Balls are assumed solely to address a daughter’s emerging sexuality in a ritual designed to counteract evolving American norms on sexuality; however, the ritual may carry additional latent sociological functions. While experienced explicitly by the individual participants as a celebration of father/daughter relationships and a means to address evolutionary

  • “What Saith the Scriptures?” Harrell Davidson
    “What Saith The Scriptures?” Harrell Davidson “What’s wrong with listening to a group sing psalms and hymns and spiri- tual songs and is it wrong to sing such songs accompanied by mechanical instruments?” This is not only a good question, it is one that is vital. Let us look at two familiar pas- sages: “Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord” (Eph. 5:19) The second passage says, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom; teaching and admonishing one an- other in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord” (Col. 3:16). May I ask a question just here? When one listens to a group such as a quartet or a choir sing spiritual songs, what thoughts are going through one’s mind? If the thoughts lean toward spiritual matters, we are attempting to worship in vain (Matt. 15:9; Mark 7:7- 8). All spiritual, acceptable worship appeals to the mind. It is a function of the mind. It is not subjective, or according to one’s feelings. Are we listening for entertainment pur- poses? If the latter is the case, then we are using God’s name and spiritual songs in a way void of sound reasoning and we are in sin, being void of scriptural authority. We would say again that such is vain worship. Worldly things are to be put out of the mind. To listen to spiritual songs set to music is worldly.
