In this second and revised edition General Sherrill has written the entire Introduction and First Generation which are signed with his name. The editor assumes the usual responsibility for the remainder of the book and hopes that it will be acceptable to the Sherrills and to his fellow genealogists. The arrangement of material is the one generally found in modem genealogies. Each head of a family is given a number, in a sequence beginning with the first settler who is No. 1. By looking ahead to the given number the succeeding generation will 4 be found. The superior or raised numbers ( as Jonathan ) indicate the degree of descent from the founder of the family in America. The usual abbreviations are used.

Refugee in New England James C. Thomson, Jr. Early last spring I confided to Raymond, our Cape Cod caretaker for the past twenty- two years, that my wife and I would probably be selling our Truro house in the au- tumn. This ageless town father (permanent Fire Chief, Rescue Squad captain, trash collector, and problem-solver) — whose grandfather once owned the rugged ocean-side pasture land which developers now sell for over a hundred thousand per acre — shook his grizzled head in disbelief. "Jesus," he said, "and I thought you folks were natives by now." Natives. I stood there silent for a while after he pulled away in his pickup, gazing into the pines and listening to the distant surf. Natives. The word, the accolade, slowly sank into me. That made us Truro people, Outer Cape people rooted in the first place the Pil- grims had tried going ashore.

  • Ian T. Douglas: Our Job Is Not to Keep the Church in Business
    MISSIONS & EVANGELISM Ian T. Douglas: Our job is not to keep the church in business Image courtesy of Episcopal Church in Connecticut The Episcopal bishop of Connecticut says his role is prodding, challenging, inviting and encouraging the faithful to ask the question, “What is God up to in the neighborhood?” TUESDAY, DECEMBER 11, 2018 As bishop of the Episcopal Church in Connecticut, the Rt. Rev. Ian T. Douglas takes seriously his administrative duties. But, he says, he also enjoys “throwing all things up in the air, causing chaos, inviting imagination and encouraging folk, particularly by virtue of their baptism.” Specifically, he points to efforts, at both the diocesan and the parish level, to send Christians out into the world, open to the work of the Spirit. “How do we join in that faithfully, and what does it mean to be a disciple, a follower of Jesus today, who is sent into the world as an apostle to join God in God’s mission?” he said. Douglas, who was elected bishop in 2009, serves approximately 168 parishes and faith communities in the state of Connecticut. Prior to that, he was the Angus Dun Professor of Mission and World Christianity at Episcopal Divinity School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. He earned an M.Div. from Harvard Divinity School and a Ph.D. in missiology from Boston University. Douglas spoke with Faith & Leadership while at Duke for the 2018 Convocation & Pastors’ School. The following is an edited transcript. Q: As a missiologist and a theologian, how do you understand the mission of God in the world? You’re beginning at the right place, because I think too often particularly those of us in church leadership begin with, “What is the mission of the church?” rather than, “What is the mission of God?” Speaking as a Christian, understanding that the mission of God comes from the narrative given to us in Scripture, that God out of God’s love created the universe and all creation, and it was good, as Scripture tells us.

  • Hit at Gas Hearing in Censorship Fight
    Mileage Estimates By C-Book Drivers Hit at Gas Hearing The blame for much of the gaso- line rationing problem was laid to- day at the door of the C-book holder who. according to an Office of Price Administration official, overestimates his actual mileage traveled in essential business. Testifying before a House Inter- state Commerce Subcommittee in- vestigating gasoline black markets. Charles F. Phillips, director of the Automotive Supply Rationing Divi- sion of OPA, asserted that “our greatest problem is getting Mr. and Mrs. John Jones to apply for only what they need and to stop at that point." The official admitted, under ques- tioning by Representative Brown, Republican, of Ohio, that many per- sons overestimate their require- ments because they feel ration boards* will cut their requests in many cases. Mr. Phillips also ad- mitted that many automobiles to- day are not getting 15 miles to the gallon, the yardstikc used by the OPA in issuing rations. Boards can make adjustments, however, if it can be proved their mileage is down, he said. Fair Share Demanded. Mr. Brown commented that it was “an old American custom" to want to get a fair share of things. Mr. Phillips replied that he had heard that that was the custom. Meanwhile the OPA. reporting aome progress in its drive against gasoline black markets, announced there was no increase in illicit diversion of fuel during the last month and declared “this fact alone Is a heartening achievement.” The scene in Washington Cathedral today as the Right the sermon which preceded the consecration of Bishop Dun Daily drain from legitimate use Rev.

"God is the Father, From center circle outward God is the Son, God is the Holy Spirit." Positive: "The Father is God, From outer circles inward The Son is God, The Holy Spirit is God."
