  • Seven Sleepers-Ship
    THE AGES DIGITAL LIBRARY REFERENCE CYCLOPEDIA of BIBLICAL, THEOLOGICAL and ECCLESIASTICAL LITERATURE Seven Sleepers- Ship by James Strong & John McClintock To the Students of the Words, Works and Ways of God: Welcome to the AGES Digital Library. We trust your experience with this and other volumes in the Library fulfills our motto and vision which is our commitment to you: MAKING THE WORDS OF THE WISE AVAILABLE TO ALL — INEXPENSIVELY. AGES Software Rio, WI USA Version 1.0 © 2000 2 Seven Sleepers the heroes of a celebrated legend, first related by Gregory of Tours at the close of the 6th century (De Gloria Martyrum, c. 96); but the date of which is assigned to the 3d century and to the persecution of the Christians under Decius. According to the narrative, seven Christians of Ephesus took refuge in a cave near the city, where they were discovered by their pursuers, who walled up the entrance in order to starve them to death. A miracle, however, was interposed in their behalf, they fell into a preternatural sleep, in which they lay for nearly two hundred years. The concealment is supposed to have taken place in 250 or 251, and the sleepers to have been reanimated in 447. Their sleep seemed to them to have been for only a night, and they were greatly astonished, on going into the city, to see the cross exposed upon the church tops, which but a few hours ago, as it appeared, was the object of contempt. Their wonderful story told, they were conducted in triumph into the city; but all died at the same moment.

One casualty was the just-blossomed Magnolia trees that turned brown after a night with the temperatures in the mid- twenties. Our Chapter has been busy this quarter. We had our Holiday Gathering on January 21st, which was highlighted by a great program given by Kimberley Corwin, an ecologist with a specialty in birds. On March 13th, several of our Chapter members participated in “Forest Awareness Day” at the Legislative Building in Albany. FAD is a day when the “Council of Forest Resource Organizations” (an affiliation of 15 like- minded organizations) meet in small groups with State Legislators and Senators. This year’s issues were Property Taxation, Wood Energy, and Invasive Species. The idea is to keep the lawmakers informed about our issues and the importance of considering them in upcoming bills they are considering.
