Someone described them as being an expression of belief in God through human experience. Psalm 48 is no exception to this and it tells us something about our belief in God and what our response is to his presence. The first thing the writer notes is the greatness of God - God who led their father Abraham from Ur of the Chaldees to a land where they would worship the one true God called Yahweh or Jehovah. -
Dangerous Obstruction of the Railway
Dangerous Obstruction of the Railway An elderly man named Philip Thick, labourer, Bemerton, was charged with negligently leaving a wagon on the London and South-Western Railway, on the 26th ult., in the parish of Fugglestone St Peter. Edward Chapman, engine driver on the line mentioned, stated that as he was driving the passenger train which leaves Exeter at 10.5 a.m., he observed a farm wagon standing across the rails at a private crossing between Wilton and Salisbury. The train was then a quarter of a mile from that part of the line, and he immediately sounded the whistle violently, and the steam being thus shut off, had the breaks applied. There was a sharp curve on the line at that point. There being also a descending gradient there, the train was going at a good speed. The wagon, to which a horse was attached, was driven to the other side of the line shortly after he sounded the whistle, but it only got clear of the rails when the train was a few yards from it. The guard and stoker of the train gave similar evidence. Mr Whatman appeared for the defence, and submitted that it was very important that the bench should know the exact distance from the point of the line where the crossing could be seen to the crossing itself. The driver stated that the distance was a quarter of a mile. He had been instructed that it was only some seventy or eighty yards; and assuming that the whistle was sounded at that distance off, he thought the court would not consider that sufficient warning was given for the crossing. -

George Herbert Walk from Salisbury Cathedral to St Andrew's Church, Lower Bemerton, 2
© 2010 George Herbert Walk Salisbury Cathedral to St Andrew’s Church, Lower Bemerton (2¼ miles of easy walking) We start our walk at the West end of Salisbury Cathedral, under the statue of George Herbert (1). If you face the West front, look to the right hand side of the main door. The statue of George Herbert is looking South to the left hand side of the smaller door. To attempt a detailed description of Salisbury Cathedral, one of the finest Gothic Cathedrals in Europe is beyond the scope of this walk but before starting the walk, you may wish to admire the interior of the Cathedral and see the stained glass window illustrating George Herbert’s poem ‘Love- George Herbert Statue Joy’ with vines illustrated in all three panels. The window is at the East end of the North Aisle beyond the choir. George Herbert is shown praying in the bottom left panel. Unfortunately the window is partly obscured by an undistinguished monument. George Herbert Window Returning to the West front of the Cathedral, we turn North and walk towards the High Street gate admiring the fine buildings of the Cathedral Close. Mompesson House of 1701 is open to the public and faces a green to our left as we proceed towards the High Street. As we go through the gate we can see, straight ahead of us, St Thomas’ church built for the builders of the Cathedral to worship in. Continue along the High Street looking at Mitre House (2) on the right as you reach the traffic lights. -
Reading George Herbert in the Light of His Contemporaries
“AND IN ANOTHER MAKE ME UNDERSTOOD”: READING GEORGE HERBERT IN THE LIGHT OF HIS CONTEMPORARIES Anne Judith Menkens A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of English. Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Reid Barbour Darryl Gless Megan Matchinske John Wall Jessica Wolfe © 2009 Anne Judith Menkens ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Anne J. Menkens: “And in another make me understood”: Reading George Herbert in the Light of his Contemporaries (Under the direction of Reid Barbour) This dissertation examines the ways critics have coupled George Herbert with different authors and thinkers of his era and analyzes the effects of these pairings on what Herbert has meant to readers. The specific fellow writers considered are Richard Hooker/John Calvin (in whose company Herbert looks like a religious partisan); Francis Bacon (as “modern” thinker, examining the physical world separated from a religious interpretation); and John Donne (as artist, creating dramatic speakers in conversation with God). To a great extent, critics have used such couplings to convey the values they wish to impart to readers and build the literary canon thereby. Herbert is a special case because of the sheer variety of appropriations made of his work since its first publication and the often contentious nature of these appropriations. Moreover, Herbert seems aware of his own work’s flexibility and describes the uses of this quality in social discourse. The review of the literature traces not only the roller coaster ride that has been Herbert’s critical reception but also the dozens of introductions to Herbert’s works. -
God and Some Fellows of Trinity: George Herbert. Evensong, 15Th November 2009, Trinity College Chapel
God and Some Fellows of Trinity: George Herbert. Evensong, 15th November 2009, Trinity College Chapel. 1st lesson: 1 Chronicles 29: 10-15 2nd reading: George Herbert ‘Heaven’ from The Temple (1633). George Herbert, the subject through which we meditate upon the holy Word this evening, is now remembered better for his relationship to God than for his actions as a Trinity Fellow. You will then forgive me for prefacing what I have to say with a brief reminder of Herbert’s Trinity career. Herbert was admitted to Trinity as an undergraduate in 1609, a month after his sixteenth birthday. An apt student,he received his B.A. in 1613, ranking 2nd of the 193 undergraduates in his year. Elected a minor Fellow in 1614, Herbert spent the next decade at Trinity, for the last four of which he was University Orator. He left Cambridge in 1624, aged thirty, and died nine years later. On his death he was incumbent of the parish of Fugglestone-with- Bemerton, in the diocese of Salisbury, a position he held for three years. In his lifetime he was remembered (by Francis Bacon) for his Latin verse, written mostly in response to controversy, as one in whom ‘Divinitie, and Poesie met’ and for his civic prose achievements, also in Latin, as an ‘esteemed Master of the Roman eloquence’. Both at Cambridge and later, Herbert wrote devotional poems in English. Few, if any, of his contemporaries will have read them; at any rate there is no evidence of their circulation. He might have sent a couple of sonnets to his mother, and we know of one other exchange of poems with a contemporary. -
The Alchemist at St Thomas's Church
The St Thomas Church Alchemist Alan J. Crooks The historically curious visitor to St Thomas Church may notice an information plaque in three languages, on a lectern near a door in the north wall. The notice says: The North Door which once led to a room above the now destroyed North Porch. At one time an alchemist lived there. Outside you can still see the ruined tower from which he dashed to escape the noxious fumes of his experiments. Certain questions naturally arise: Who was this alchemist? When did he live? What was the nature of his experiments? There are many questions which need answering. It is known that both the north and south porches were being built around 1400, and that the north porch was demolished in 1835; hence the alchemist must have lived here in the 15th Century or later. Some intriguing information is recorded in an issue of The Saturday Magazine1 published in 1837. It says, “… we may mention that five small crucibles of graduated sizes were lately found plastered up in a small room over the large entrance porch of the church of St Thomas at Salisbury. The gentleman (Rev. Edward Duke, M.A.2) to whose learned work we are indebted for this information, is of the Fig 1. The door to the north opinion that these carefully-concealed crucibles were evidently porch, and information intended for alchymical purposes. He conceives, however, that they plaque were employed not for the purpose of making gold, but for the Fig 2.

Thomas Merton's Projected Anthology of Religious Poetry
20 Thomas Merton's Projected Anthology of Religious Poetry By Patrick F. O'Connell During the summer of 194 l, having fini shed his fust year teaching English at St. Bonaventure College, Thomas Merton was busy about many things: he was working on his novel, Journal of My Escape from the Nazis, writing numerous poems, keeping two versions of his journal. reading Dante, Lorca and Graham Greene, teaching a summer school bibliography course, spending two weeks working at Catherine de Hueck's Friendship House in Harlem, worrying about the war, thinking about the Trappists. 1 In the midst of all this activity he also managed Lo find time for another project, one that reflected his own deepening interest, as writer and reader, in religious verse. On July 27, he records in his journal: I think of making an Anthology of Poems, Religious or nearly Religious. So far I have got Donne's "Hymn to Christ at the Author"s Last Going into Gennany," "At the Round Earth's Imagin'd Comers," ·'Nocturnal on Saint Lucy's Day," "'What If This Present were the World 's Last Night?," and Herbert's "Aaron" and Vaughan's "The Seed Growing Secretly" and Hopkins' "Felix Randal." Also Tthink Hopkins' "Leaden and Golden Echo" - "Bugler's First Communion,.. "Candle indoors."' "Wreck of the Deutschlancf' and despair poems. Then Blake's ·'How Sweet I Roamed," "Lillie Girl Lost.'' "Auguries of Innocence." '·Mental Traveler." ''Holy Thursday" (Innocence), a lot more Vaughan (e.g., "Night"). plenty Traherne - Southwell's " Burning Babe."' ln all maybe 150 poems - or half that- 75 would be a better number (RM 380-8 1). -

It then comprised the: · South Western Area (Cornwall, Devon and Somerset); · Southern Area (Hampshire & Dorset); · Salisbury Plain Area (Wiltshire) · South Midland Area (Warwickshire, Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire). In the 1920’s the South Western Area and Southern Area were merged to form the Wessex Area, and Wiltshire was transferred from the Salisbury Plain Area only later to be transferred back. The Headquarters of Southern Command were historically based in Portsmouth, but in 1901, they moved to Salisbury Plain. The Headquarters were located in what is now Lucknow Barracks in Tidworth, which opened in 1905. When the Command was reorganised following the Great War, it appears the Headquarters were moved into the city of Salisbury.
