They are confined to a brief period of great excitement in Baltimore, viz, after the riot of April 19, 1861, when Federal troops were attacked by the mob while being marched through the City streets, up to May 13th of that year, when General Butler, with a large body of troops occupied Federal Hill, after which Baltimore was substantially under control of the 1 Some months before his death in 1942 the late Charles McHenry Howard (a grandson of Charles Howard, president of the Board of Police in 1861) placed the papers here printed in the Editor's hands for examination, and offered to write an introduction if the Committee on Publications found them acceptable for the Magazine.

  • Aby's Outdoor Cookbook
    Aby’s Outdoor Cookbook Introduction This cookbook is not a part of the Boy Scouts of America program nor do the Boy Scouts of America sanction this book. No representation of such sanctioning is requested, made or implied. The book is the result of more than fifty years experience living outdoors, cooking to please the cook and enjoying the experience. The author made no attempt to calculate calories, nutritional values or cholesterol. He is past seventy years of age and weighs fifteen pounds more than he did at high school graduation. His career path has been varied and perhaps checkered. Whether he was roustabouting in oilfields or managing a major computing center, he has maintained an active and mobile life style, believing hard work (physically hard work) is its own reward. He has failed to diligently follow his belief that “moderation in all things” is the real secret to success, health and abundant living. This tome is intended to provide Scout leaders with background material for cooking outdoors and engaging youth in the joys of this activity. If you are a really good outdoor cook, you will stand out in a crowd. And don’t let anyone tell you it is just the smell of garlic on your hands! At seventy-plus, the author can still identify one hundred fifty birds by sight, forty by flight pattern and fifty by song. He knows more than sixty species of trees by leaf, bark and fruit. He can paddle a canoe, row a boat, carry a pack, sleep on the ground and survive.

    REVOLUTIONARY MAIL BAG GOVERNOR THOMAS SIM LEE'S CORRESPONDENCE 1779 -1782 FROM ORIGINAL PENCIL DRAWING HY ROBERT S. PEABODY, IN POSSESSION OE AUTHOR. REVOLUTIONARY MAIL BAG: GOVERNOR THOMAS SIM LEE'S CORRESPONDENCE, 1779-1782 Edited by HELEN LEE PEABODY HE contents of a chest of several hundred unpublished letters T and papers, belonging to Thomas Sim Lee, Governor of Maryland during the American Revolution, form the basis of the following pages.1 The chest, containing these letters and private papers, together with the rest of his personal possessions, was inherited by his youngest son, John Lee, the only unmarried child still living with his father at the time of his death. John Lee, my grandfather, left his inheritance, the old family mansion, " Needwood," in Frederick County, and all it contained, to my father, Charles Carroll Lee. In this manner the chest of letters descended to the present generation. 1 There is no life of Lee. Standard accounts are to be found in the Dictionary of American Biography, XI, 132, and H.E. Buchholz, Governors of Maryland (Baltimore, 1908), pp. 9-13. 1 2 MARYLAND HISTORICAL MAGAZINE The papers—designated hereafter as the T. S. Lee Collection— when found, comprised over a thousand items. The papers were arranged in packages, tied with tape, and tabulated, which facili­ tated the onerous task of sorting and reading. Many had to be laid aside, as totally unsuited to a compilation of this kind. These comprised invoices, bills of lading, acknowledgements by London firms of hogsheads of tobacco received, orders for furniture, clothing, household utensils—all, in short, that made up the inter­ change of life between our Colonial ancestors and British mer­ chants.

  • Healthy Ways for Clergy & Vestries to Work Together
    HEALTHY WAYS FOR CLERGY & VESTRIES TO WORK TOGETHER DIOCESE OF NEWARK VESTRY UNIVERSITY 2014 Maintaining Healthy Clergy-Vestry Relationships Vestry University 2014 Why Are We Offering This Workshop? A true story: Both wardens in one of our congregations asked to see me about some “difficulties” they were having with the rector. “The rector doesn’t respect the wardens or the vestry”. “The rector makes decisions without consulting us”. “The rector’s working motto seems to be “‘it’s my way or the highway’ ”. One of the wardens candidly confessed, we don’t communicate, we avoid one another”. And on and on it went for a good ½ hour. After the wardens had recited their list of “Sins the Rector has committed”, I innocently observed: “All that you say may be true, well and good, but my friends, it takes two to tango, and I ‘m not hearing what you are doing proactively to deal with this issue”. And when we dug deeper, we unearthed a congregational culture that had been perennially characterized by non- communication between clergy, wardens and vestry, triangulating as the chosen method of communicating, and an utter lack of respect for one another evidenced in even the simplest conversations. Truth be told, this is by no means an isolated occurrence in our diocese. The Bishop’s Office in the past few years has had to intervene in more than a few instances where there was a total breakdown in the relationship between lay leaders and clergy. Many of these situations, sadly enough could have been avoided had the clergy and the leadership put in place some healthy practices that promoted open, honest, and healthy behaviors among one another.

  • About Vestries Our Vestries Owe Much to the Historical Evolution of The
    About Vestries Our vestries owe much to the historical evolution of the Episcopal Church in Virginia. Of course, the Church of England was the established church during colonial times, but there was no attempt to help the colonies become self-sufficient. The bishop of the colonies was the Bishop of London, who never came to the New World, and there was no seminary established here, either. Furthermore, C of E clergy had to swear an oath of allegiance to the king. Thus, after America gained its freedom, there were no clergy immediately available. In this vacuum, lay leadership predominated. The church was the driving force behind maintenance of the social order, and the vestries were the driving force behind the church. The Anglicans who came to Virginia were not dissidents but businessmen seeking economic opportunity, and they ended up owning much of the property and means of production in the colony. They had a sense of themselves as caretakers of the community and responsible for its health. This is the root of the emphasis on lay ministry and the responsibility of the laity in Virginia. The national canons establish that each church must have a vestry, but leave it up to each diocese to decide how it is are to be structured and chosen in accordance with diocesan canons and state law. In Virginia, vestries are elected annually by the congregation to a term not to exceed four years. A vestry consists of at least three members, but not more than 12, except for large churches, which may have up to 18.
