  • Spurgeon Sermon Collection, Vol
    THE AGES DIGITAL LIBRARY SERMONS THE SPURGEON SERMON COLLECTION, VOL. 3 by Charles H. Spurgeon B o o k s F o r Th e A g e s AGES Software • Albany, OR USA Version 1.0 © 1997 2 LOVE’S LOGIC SERMON NO. 1008 DELIVERED ON LORD’S-DAY MORNING, AUGUST 27TH, 1871, AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON “We love him because he first loved us.” — <620419>1 John 4:19. THIS is a great doctrinal truth, and I might with much propriety preach a doctrinal sermon from it, of which the sum and substance would be the sovereign grace of God. God’s love is evidently prior to ours: “He first loved us.” It is also clear enough from the text that God’s love is the cause of ours, for “We love him because he first loved us.” Therefore, going back to old time, or rather before all time, when we find God loving us with an everlasting love, we gather that the reason of his choice is not because we loved him, but because he willed to love us. His reasons, and he had reasons (for we read of the counsel of his will), are known to himself, but they are not to be found in any inherent goodness in us, or which was foreseen to be in us. We were chosen simply because he will have mercy on whom he will have mercy. He loved us because he would love us. The gift of his dear Son, which was a close consequent upon his choice of his people, was too great a sacrifice on God’s part to have been drawn from him by any goodness in the creature.

  • The China Trade, 1830 to 1860
    Early American Trade with China Early American Trade with China THE CHINA TRADE, 1830 TO 1860 In the years following the American Revolution, speed was the most important consider- ation for any ship even if it came at the expense of cargo space. Sailing ships tended to be small and swift so that they could outrun and outmaneuver British, French, or pirate vessels trying to capture them. By 1830, this threat had largely been eliminated, and a new type of clipper ship was developed. From 1841 through 1860, “extreme clippers” dominated the trade to Asia. These ships were large, carrying huge, lucrative cargoes of tea, spices, textiles, and chinaware to consumers in America and Europe. By the 1830s, trade routes were well estab- lished between the United States and China, and the names of ports in the Eastern hemi- sphere, once exotic and mysterious, were becoming increasingly familiar to Americans as places of importance to the United States’ economy. During the decades preceding and during the Civil War, the United States was largely focused on domestic matters and sectionalism rather than foreign policy. But it was also during this time that Americans, who had spent most of their history looking towards the East Coast and Europe, began to see the strategic and economic importance of developing the West Coast and maintaining shipping routes to the Far East. During the late 1850s, the United States’ trade with China declined. Domestic manufactures produced in factories in the rapidly industrializing northern states were replacing imports: cotton replaced nankeen, and American pottery factories replicated Chinese designs on porcelain, and coffee imported from central and South America was replacing Chinese tea.

  • NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT VESSEL: SS Resolute
    NATIONAL REGISTER ELIGIBILITY ASSESSMENT VESSEL: SS Resolute Left: Sistership SS Gopher State (ex-Export Leader) in 1986; Right: SS Resolute at the James River Reserve Fleet. Maritime Administration photos. Vessel History The SS Resolute is a moderately-sized, fully cellular, steam-propelled containership. It was built for Farrell Lines, Inc. of New York, by the Bath Iron Works (BIW) shipyard in Bath, Maine. Resolute was delivered February 22, 1980 and sailed on its maiden voyage February 26, 1980. It was the eighth and last in a series of virtually identical ships, the first of which, the Sea Witch, was completed by BIW for American Export-Isbrandtsen Lines in 1968. Beginning with the Sea Witch, the class was constructed in three groups; two of three ships each between 1968 and 1973, and two final ships that were completed in 1980. The eight ships were collectively known as the Sea Witch class and were built for the same operating company. However, in the 12 years between the completion of the Sea Witch and the Resolute, several corporate changes occurred. In 1960, the Isbrandtsen Steamship Company, headed by Jakob Isbrandtsen, acquired American Export Lines. The merged company, known as American Export-Isbrandtsen Lines, constructed the first three ships, and placed the orders for the second three. The first three ships, Sea Witch, Lightning, and Stag Hound followed Isbrandtsen’s practice of naming company ships after famous American clipper ships of the 19th Century. In the early 1970s Jakob Isbrandtsen experienced financial and legal difficulties, which forced him to relinquish his interest in the company.

    The land of gold; reality versus fiction. By Hinton R. Helper THE LAND OF GOLD. REALITY VERSUS FICTION. BY HINTON R. HELPER. BALTIMORE: PUBLISHED FOR THE AUTHOR, BY HENRY TAYLOR, SUN IRON BUILDING. 1855. Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1855, by HINTON R. HELPER, In the Clerk's Office of the District Court of the United States for the District of Maryland. SHERWOOD & CO., PRINTERS, BALTIMORE. TO THE HON. JOHN M. MOREHEAD, OF NORTH CAROLINA, These Pages are respectfully Dedicated, BY HIS SINCERE FRIEND AND ADMIRER, THE AUTHOR. PREFACE. The land of gold; reality versus fiction. By Hinton R. Helper http://www.loc.gov/resource/calbk.075 PREVIOUS to my departure for California, near and dear friends extracted from me a promise to communicate by letter, upon every convenient occasion, such intelligence as would give them a distinct idea of the truthfulness or falsehood of the many glowing descriptions and reputed vast wealth of California. In accordance with this promise, I collected, from the best and most reliable sources, all that I deemed worthy of record touching the past of the modern El Dorado, relying upon my own powers of observation to depicture its present condition and its future prospects. This correspondence was never intended for the public eye, for the simple reason that the matter therein is set forth in a very plain manner, with more regard to truth than elegance of diction. Indeed, how could it be otherwise? I have only described those things which came immediately under my own observation, and, beside this, I make no pretensions to extensive scholastic attainments, nor do I claim to be an adept in the art of book-making.
