AGES Software Rio, WI USA Version 1.0 © 2000 2 Binney, Thomas D.D., LL.D. an eminent English Congregational minister, was born at Newcastle-on- Tyne, April 30, 1798. In early life he was engaged in secular employment, but found time for reading and composition, and, by the help of a Presbyterian clergyman, acquired a good knowledge of Latin and Greek. He was brought to Christ when he was young, and he early sought admission to the Christian ministry. His student-life was spent at Wymondley, Herts, and his first settlement was at Bedford, where he continued but twelve months. Mr. Binney was ordained in 1824 to the pastoral office at Newport, Isle of Wight. Here he preached five years, and here began his career as an author, by publishing a memoir of Rev. Stephen Morell, an intimate and beloved friend. In 1829 Mr. Binney accepted a call to the pastorate at the Weigh House, London, and then entered upon a course of usefulness and popularity, which for forty years he sustained with almost undiminished vigor. During the last two years of his life he occupied, with acceptance, the chair of homiletics at New College. He died of heart disease, at Clapton, Feb. 24, 1874. Dr. Binney was endowed both by nature and grace with many noble qualities. His presence was commanding-a lofty stature, a speaking countenance, and an intellectual brow. His mind matched his body; it was of great force, of iron grasp, keen and logical. He published, Closet and the Church: Four Discourses on the Christian Ministry: — Illustrations of the Practical Power of Faith: — Sermons Preached at Weigh House Chapel: — Service of Song in the House of the Lord: — Ultimate Design of the Ministry; besides hymns, tracts, and various articles. Many of his Sermons were edited by Allen (Lond. 1875). See Memorial by Stoughton (Lond. 1874); (Lond.) Cong. Year-book, 1875, p. 313;. Alibone, Dict. of Brit. and Amer. Authors, s.v.; Lights of the Mod. Pulpit (Lond. 1852), p. 49 sq. Binning, Hugh a Scotch theologian, was born in the County of Ayr, in 1627. He was educated in the University of Glasgow, and distinguished himself by his talent for oratory, and by the power of his logic. It was this that rendered him celebrated as a preacher and controversialist. In a conference which was held in the presence of Cromwell, between the Presbyterians and Independents, Binning so victoriously refuted the latter as greatly to please the future Protector, who demanded his name. Binning died in 1654, while minister of Govan, near Glasgow, after having, been regent and professor 3 of moral philosophy in the University of Glasgow. He wrote a Commentary on the Epistle to the Romans (Edinb. 1735). See Chalmers, Biog. Dict. s.v.; Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v. Binning, William an English Wesleyan minister, was born at or near Hornsea, Yorkshire. He was converted at the age of fifteen, entered the ministry in 1817, labored in Jamaica, W. I., until 1826, when he returned to England, and died Dec. 7, 1857, in the sixty-seventh year of his age. His preaching, like his character, was simple, faithful, earnest. See Minutes of the Brit. Conference, 1858. Binns, Charles a minister of the Society of Friends, was born at Wateirford, Ireland, in 1831. He inherited the Irish characteristic of warmth, both in affection and disposition. Being left an orphan when a small child; he was brought up by his uncle William Binns, of Poole. He was converted and became a member of the Society of Friends, but afterwards resigned his membership, assigning as his reason that they did not realize the blessing and efficacy of the atonement of Christ. In the year 1863 he sought readmission into the Society of Friends. The meridian years of his life were devoted to the education of the young, for which he had a peculiar gift, and in which he was very successful. He died Nov. 2, 1875. See Ann. Monitor, 1877, p. 24. Binns, Henry an English Quaker minister, was born at Sunderland, Jan. 19, 1810. He began his ministerial labors when about fifty-five years of age. In 1865 he removed to Croydon, where. a wider field of usefulness was opened up to him. “He often felt attracted in Gospel love to pay pastoral visits in various parts of Great Britain; and in 1869 he united with William Robinson in a visit of this character to some parts of the United States, embracing Iowa, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, and to Canada.” He died at Croydon, Jan. 17, 1880. See Annual Monitor, 1881, p. 22. Binns, Joseph a minister of the Society of Friends, was born in London in 1774. In early life he was exposed to many temptations, and yielded at times to their influence. During the greater part of his life humility and love were conspicuous in his demeanor. While he had many peculiarities, and some 4 faults, there is good reason to believe that he sought to “adorn the doctrine of our Saviour in all things.” He died Feb. 19, 1836. See Annual Monitor, 1837, p. 6. Binns, Mary a minister of the Society of Friends, was born at Poole, England, in 1775. Through a long course of years she was an earnest and devoted follower of her Saviour, and was very successful in inducing others to accept the offers of the Gospel. For many years she was an invalid, consequently her opportunities for doing good were much limited. She died in 1851. See Annual Monitor, 1852, p. 8. Binsfeld Petrus a Flemish theologian, was originally from Luxembourg. At Rome he received the degree of doctor of theology, became canon of Treves, grand- vicar of the archbishop, and was consecrated bishop in pattibus. He died of the plague, Nov. 24, 1598.

He entered the ecclesiastical profession, became rector of Notre Dame of Niort and died May 7, 1774. He bequeathed his large library to his native city, the beginning of which was established there, and which the municipal body was eager to open to the public. Bion united with the talent for composing excellent discourses, that of reading well what he had written. Many of his sermons are preserved in the Journal Chretien. See Hoefer, Nouv. Biog. Generale, s.v. Bion, Jean Francois a Huguenot theologian, was born at Dijon in 1668. He was a member of the Catholic clergy and rector of the village of Ursy, and was appointed chaplain of La Superbe, a galley where Protestant prisoners were detained.

He left this position in order to become chaplain of an English church in 5 Holland. The date of his death is not known. He wrote, Relation des Tourments que l’on fait Souffrir aux Protestants’ ui sont sur les GalAres de France (Lond. 1708; Amsterdam, 1709): — Essais sur la Providence et sur la Possibilite dela Resurrection (Hague, 1719); this work, given as a translation, is really the work of Bion: — -Relation Exacfe et Sincere du Sujet qui a Excite lat Funesfe Tumulte de la Ville de Thorn (Amsterdam).: — Traite des Morts et des Ressuscitants; translated from the Latin of Thomas Burnet (Rotterdam, 1731): — Histoire des Quietistes de Bourgogne (1709).

  • In the Last Year Or So, Scholarship in American Literature Has Been
    REVIEWS In the last year or so, scholarship in American Literature has been extended by the appearance of three exciting series which reassess, synthesize, and clarify the work and reputation of major American writers and literary groups. MASAJ begins with this issue reviews of representative titles in Twayne's United States Authors Series (Sylvia Bowman, Indiana University, General Editor); Barnes & Noble's American Authors and Critics Series (Foster Provost and John Mahoney, Duquesne University, General Editors); and The University of Minnesota Pamphlets on American Writers (William Van O'Connor, Allen Tate, Leonard Unger, and Robert Penn Warren, Editors), and will continue such reviews until the various series are completed. Twayne's United States Authors Series (TUSAS), (Hardback Editions) JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER. By Lewis Leary. New York: Twayne Pub­ lishers, Inc. 1961. $3.50. As a long overdue reappraisal, this book places Whittier squarely within the cultural context_of his age and then sympathetically, but objectively, ana­ lyzes his poetic achievement. Leary * s easy style and skillful use of quotations freshen the well-known facts of Whittier's life. Unlike previous biographers he never loses sight of the poet while considering Whittier's varied career as editor, politician and abolitionist. One whole chapter, "The Beauty of Holi­ ness ," presents Whittier1 s artistic beliefs and stands as one of the few extended treatments of his aesthetics in this century. Also Leary is not afraid to measure Whittier Ts limitations against major poets like Whitman and Emerson, and this approach does much to highlight Whittier's poetic successes. How­ ever, the book's real contribution is its illuminating examination of Whittier's artistry: the intricate expansion of theme by structure in "Snow-Bound," the tensions created by subtle Biblical references in "Ichabod, " and the graphic blending of legend and New England background in "Skipper Ireson's Ride." Even long forgotten poems like "The Cypress-Tree of Ceylon" reveal surprising poetic qualities.

  • I PRACTICAL MAGIC: MAGICAL REALISM and the POSSIBILITIES
    i PRACTICAL MAGIC: MAGICAL REALISM AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF REPRESENTATION IN TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY FICTION AND FILM by RACHAEL MARIBOHO DISSERTATION Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Texas at Arlington August, 2016 Arlington, Texas Supervising Committee: Wendy B. Faris, Supervising Professor Neill Matheson Kenneth Roemer Johanna Smith ii ABSTRACT: Practical Magic: Magical Realism And The Possibilities of Representation In Twenty-First Century Fiction And Film Rachael Mariboho, Ph.D. The University of Texas at Arlington, 2016 Supervising Professor: Wendy B. Faris Reflecting the paradoxical nature of its title, magical realism is a complicated term to define and to apply to works of art. Some writers and critics argue that classifying texts as magical realism essentializes and exoticizes works by marginalized authors from the latter part of the twentieth-century, particularly Latin American and postcolonial writers, while others consider magical realism to be nothing more than a marketing label used by publishers. These criticisms along with conflicting definitions of the term have made classifying contemporary works that employ techniques of magical realism a challenge. My dissertation counters these criticisms by elucidating the value of magical realism as a narrative mode in the twenty-first century and underlining how magical realism has become an appealing means for representing contemporary anxieties in popular culture. To this end, I analyze how the characteristics of magical realism are used in a select group of novels and films in order to demonstrate the continued significance of the genre in modern art. I compare works from Tea Obreht and Haruki Murakami, examine the depiction of adolescent females in young adult literature, and discuss the environmental and apocalyptic anxieties portrayed in the films Beasts of the Southern Wild, Take iii Shelter, and Melancholia.

  • The Case of the French Clergy in the First World War
    LINGUA ROMANA VOL 13, ISSUE 1 ARTICLE War, Memory, and Politics: The Case of the French Clergy in the First World War Anita Marie Rasi May Independent Scholar SUMMARY This paper addresses the following question: How did the participation of Catholic priests in the trenches in World War I impact the political climate in postwar France? Using memoirs and archival material, this research builds on the work of other scholars to document how the shared experiences of war ultimately influenced national politics. I argue that shared memory was central to the shifting attitude toward the clergy after the war, and ultimately made it impossible to enforce the anticlerical laws of the 1880s.1 KEYWORDS: World War I, church-state relations, war and memory, soldier priests, military chaplains, veterans, stretcher-bearers, Teilhard de Chardin The onset of World War I was preceded by a decades-long effort by the Third Republic to restrict the influence of the clergy in French society and to promote a secularized civic life. Beginning in the 1880s and in reaction to the association of the Catholic Church and the monarchy, legislation prohibited the clergy and religious orders from teaching in schools and evicted clergy from monasteries and residences, thereby forcing the Catholic orders (Franciscans, Jesuits, and others) to leave France. Weddings and burials were legitimized through civil rather than religious ceremonies; prayers were prohibited at public functions; hospitals and cemeteries were laicized; and chaplains were eliminated in the army and the navy. All of these changes served to marginalize the clergy from everyday French life. A journalist writing in the Revue des Deux Mondes in 1892 summarized the impact.

  • The Mysterious Identity of Saint George
    THE MYSTERIOUS IDENTITY OF SAINT GEORGE Introduction Unlike the patron saints, Andrew of Scotland, David of Wales and Patrick of Ireland, who are all historically recognizable figures, St George of England is a patron saint with no immediately apparent historical provenance. Apart from what seems to begin with 5th-century folklore, most reference books relate that there are no contemporary or other historical documents relating to St George. Under such circumstances, it is rather odd that George became not only the patron saint of England, but also of numerous other countries, orders and occupations.1 The most perplexing anomaly is that, although George rose to prominence in the saintly ranks, he was originally deemed personally unsuitable by the Vatican, and the written accounts of his life were proscribed by Pope Gelasius in AD 496. But why would Gelasius have denounced George as a known individual if he were mythical as so often supposed? Clearly, there was an aspect of George’s character of which the Church did not approve – an aspect that was subsequently veiled and conveniently forgotten as the centuries passed. In this regard, the literature concerning the saint identifies an evolutionary strategy of character manipulation through more than 1,000 years. This ongoing creation of an acceptable heritage for George actually led to the emergence of an entirely mythical figure, in the course of which the real history of the man was lost. Original Records The oldest extant Greek manuscript of George’s tradition dates back to the early 5th century, and a revised Latin version known as the Acta Sancti Georgii was circulating in the 6th century.
