Some of the leading figures in the first generation of academic historians in the United States spent much of their time and energy on this endeavor and in so doing made possible the work of their colleagues who wrote monographs and general histories. The inventions of microfilm and photocopying have vastly improved access to such sources. At any given time the prevailing conceptions of what is significant in the past will determine which sources are sought and valued. When politics and diplomacy are the center of historians’ concern, government documents, treaties, newspapers, and correspondence of political leaders and diplomats will be collected and made accessible. When intellectual history is ascendant, the works of philosophers and reflective thinkers will be studied, analyzed, and discussed. Economic historians will look for records of trade, evidence of price fluctuations, conditions of labor, and other kinds of data originally collected for business purposes. The propensity of modern governments to collect statistics has made possible whole new fields for historical analysis. In our own time social historians have flourished, and for them evidence of how people of all kinds have lived, felt, thought, and behaved is a central concern. Private diaries and personal letters are valued for the light they throw on what French historians label the mentalité of a particular time and place. The fact that such documents were usually created only for the writer, or for a friend or relative, gives them an immediacy not often found in other kinds of records. At best the writers tell us—directly or by implication—what they think and feel and do. Even the language and the allusions in such spontaneous expression are useful to the historian, whose inferences might surprise the writer could she know what was being made of her words. This microfilm series focuses on a particular group (women) in a particular place (the South) in a particular time (the nineteenth century). The fact that many of these documents exist is a tribute to the work of several generations of staff members at the leading archives of the South such as the Southern Historical Collection at Chapel Hill, North

Francis Lerow, Bishop Ordinary The Way of Holiness Now that we have made our way from Advent to the Nativity we are challenged as to what to do with this baby. Of course we know from Scripture that the world would not receive Him. Though there were stars in the East, Wise Men bearing gifts and all of heaven looking down upon us, the world turned its back as if this was just any child born into the world. But here we have it “the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us.” Wow! God was born into the world in the flesh. That is just like you and me. He comes with a heart, ten fingers and ten toes and even hair. He was born into the cold night of Winter with no heater to keep Him warm, only a loving mother with some swaddling clothes. As I think about it I am amazed of how much He was like us, and yet comes to us with the fullness of grace and truth. I suspect grace means He comes in the “uncreated energy of God.” That is a forceful, never-ending compassion and love that redeems the soul. His truth is that which assures us that He will live up to His promises.

  • A Public Service of Healing
    A Public Service of Healing The Feast of Channing Moore Williams Bishop and Missionary, 1910 December 2, 2020 The Word of God Presider: The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit, be with you all. People: And also with you. Let us pray. After a period of silence, the Minister then says the following Collects. Gracious God, we commend to your loving care all who suffer, especially those who come here seeking your healing grace for themselves and for others. Give them patience and hope in their distress; strengthen and uphold them in mind and body; and grant, by your intervention, that all your people may be made whole according to your desire, through Jesus Christ, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen O God, who in your providence called Channing Moore Williams to the ministry of this church and gave him the gifts and the perseverance to preach the Gospel in new lands: Inspire us, by his example and prayers, to commit our talents to your service, confident that you uphold those whom you call; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. The Epistle Acts 1:1-9 In the first book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus did and taught from the beginning until the day when he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles whom he had chosen. After his suffering he presented himself alive to them by many convincing proofs, appearing to them during forty days and speaking about the kingdom of God.

  • THE PRYOR FAMILY Virginia
    THE PRYOR FAMILY As published in Virginia Magazine of History and Biography Volume 7, Number 1, July 1899 Volume 7, Number 2, October 1899 Volume 7, Number 3, January 1900 [I added some names in brackets and numbering for children to improve clarity in reading] On account of the destruction of county records, this account of the PRYORs must be at present rather a collection of data than a connected and complete account of the family, though it is hoped the publication will elicit information which will enable it to be completed. The earliest land grant to one of the name is dated in 1689, to Mr. ROBERT PRYOR, for 309 acres at the head of Craney creek, Ware Parish, Gloucester County; 92 acres, of which, was granted to Thomas Jefferson (who is he?) April 1, 1668, and by him deserted and afterwards granted to Robert Collis, who on April 21, 1689 assigned to ROBERT PRYOR. On October 29, 1693, Mr. ROBERT PRYOR had a grant for 92 acres on Craney Creek, Gloucester. The next grants were much later, one October 15, 1741 to PHILIP PRYOR for 386 acres in Amelia County, between the branches of Great and Little Nottoway rivers, and another to WILLIAM PRYOR, September 5, 1762 for 350 acres in Amherst County, on Pedlar river. I am indebted to Judge James T. Mitchell, of the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania, for the following copy of an account prepared by his grandfather, James Mitchell, who was born in 1785 and died in 1869: Extract from notes in the Mitchell family Bible, made by James Mitchell from personal recollection and conversations, correspondence, etc.
