Long ago, in the days when our caged blackbirds never saw a king's soldier without whistling impudently, "Come ower the water to Charlie," a minister of Thrums was to be married, but something happened, and he remained a bachelor. Then, when he was old, he passed in our square the lady who was to have been his wife, and her hair was white, but she, too, was still unmarried. The meeting had only one witness, a weaver, and he said solemnly afterwards, "They didna speak, but they just gave one another a look, and I saw the love−light in their een." No more is remembered of these two, no being now living ever saw them, but the poetry that was in the soul of a battered weaver makes them human to us for ever. It is of another minister I am to tell, but only to those who know that light when they see it. I am not bidding good−bye to many readers, for though it is true that some men, of whom Lord Rintoul was one, live to an old age without knowing love, few of us can have met them, and of women so incomplete I never heard. Gavin Dishart was barely twenty−one when he and his mother came to Thrums, light−hearted like the traveller who knows not what awaits him at the bend of the road. It was the time of year when the ground is carpeted beneath the firs with brown needles, when split−nuts patter all

  • Loving Thy Neighbor Immigration Reform and Communities of Faith
    WASHINGTON PILGRIMAGE Loving Thy Neighbor Immigration Reform and Communities of Faith Sam Fulwood III September 2009 WWW.AMERICANPROGRESS.ORG Loving Thy Neighbor Immigration Reform and Communities of Faith Sam Fulwood III September 2009 And if a stranger sojourn with thee in your land, ye shall not vex him. But the stranger that dwelleth with you shall be unto you as one born among you, and thou shalt love him as thyself; for ye were strangers in the land of Egypt: I am the LORD your God Leviticus 19:33-34 Introduction and summary As a fresh immigration reform debate gears up in Washington, D.C., a wide range of faith groups are showing a new, unexpected, and grassroots-led social activism that’s rooted in theological and moral ground. While loud and shrill anti-immigrant voices dominate much of the media attention regarding immigrants and especially the undocumented faith com- munity activists are caring and praying in the shadows of public attention. These groups have worked for many years and across the country on immigration issues and as strong advocates for undocumented workers and their families. Their efforts include creating citizenship projects, offering educational and support services, fighting discrimination and exploitation, bridging gaps between immigrant and nonimmigrant communities, providing sanctuary for immigrant families, supporting comprehensive legislative reform, and more. Hundreds of diverse faith communities have been active independently and within larger organizations. Mainline Protestant denominations, Catholic parishes, Jewish congrega- tions, and others, along with groups such as PICO, the Interfaith Immigration Coalition, Sojourners, Catholic Social Services, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society, Families United, and Gamaliel have stood up and spoken out on behalf of immigrants and their families.

Univerzita Karlova, Fakulta sociálních věd, Institut komunikačních studií a žurnalistiky. Katedra mediálních studií. Vedoucí diplomové práce Mgr. Iva Baslarová, Ph.D. Anotace (abstrakt) Tato diplomová práce se věnuje zobrazením etnicity a rasy „ne-lidí“ v prvních dvou řadách science fiction seriálů Star Trek: The Next Generation, Battlestar Galactica a Defiance. Vychází při tom z postkolonialistické teorie, která se zabývá dominantním vztahem kolonizátorů ke kolonizovaným. Ten se vytvořil mezi lidmi ze západní společnosti při osidlování nově objevených území a domorodým obyvatelstvem. V případě science fiction jsou „ne-lidé“ v pozici kolonizovaných a lidé kolonizátory. Prostor je také věnován posthumanistické teorii, která představuje vizi bytosti založené na kombinaci biologických a mechanických částí. Vybrané seriály jsou zkoumány pomocí metody kvalitativní obsahové analýzy. Ukázalo se, že lidé jsou ve science fiction seriálech rasou, od které se odvíjí zobrazování všech ostatních „ne-lidských“ ras. Lidé jsou také ve většině případů jiným rasám nadřazeni, což se projevuje mnoha způsoby. Hodnoty, které uznává dnešní západní společnost, jsou prezentovány jako hodnoty celé lidské rasy. Od nich se odvíjí i vnímání „ne-lidí“ a jejich společností. Ve science fiction se také odrážejí problémy, které měla západní společnost v době jejich vzniku. Abstract The main focus of this diploma thesis is picturing ethnicity and race of “non- humans” in first two series of science fiction series Star Trek: The Next Generation, Battlestar Galactica a Defiance.

  • Wives and Widows Or the Broken Life by Ann S
    Wives and Widows Or The Broken Life By Ann S. Stephens WIVES AND WIDOWS. CHAPTER I. LEAVING MY HOME. At ten years of age I was the unconscious mistress of a heavy stone farm- house and extensive lands in the interior of Pennsylvania, with railroad- bonds and bank-stock enough to secure me a moderate independence. I shall never, never forget the loneliness of that old house the day my mother was carried out of it and laid down by her husband in the churchyard behind the village. The most intense suffering of life often comes in childhood. My mother was dead; I could almost feel her last cold kisses on my lip as I sat down in that desolate parlor, waiting for the guardian who was expected to take me from my dear old home to his. The window opened into a field of white clover, where some cows and lambs were pasturing drowsily, as I had seen them a hundred times; but now their very tranquillity grieved me. It seemed strange that they would stand there so content, with the white clover dropping from their mouths, and I going away forever. My mother's canary-bird, which hung in the window, began to sing joyously over my head, as if no funeral had passed from that room, leaving its shadows behind, and, more grievous still, as if it did not care that I might never sit and listen to it again. One of the neighbors had kindly volunteered to take charge of the gloomy old house till my guardian came, but her presence disturbed me more than funereal stillness would have done.

I ® I olhyt Entered, according to Act of Congress, in the year eighteen hundred and thirty- five, by Charles Bowen, in the Clerk's Office of the District Court of Massachusetts. BOSTON: Samuel N. Dickinson, Printer, 52, Washington street. PREFACE. From the commencement of the Token in 1828, it has been the desire of the proprietors to render the work as little dependent, as possible, upon foreign art. The literary department has been sustained for nine years, by American writers ; and in the other departments nothing has been borrowed from European artists, with the exception of designs for the engravings. A part of the prints have been unavoidably copied from the productions of foreign painters j yet a preference has always been given to the works of our own artists, and no volume has appeared, that was not embellished with several copies of American pictures. The rapid advance that has recently been made here, in the various arts, particularly that of painting, together with the interest manifested by the community, in the productions of our countrymen, have induced the proprietor this year, to introduce no other engravings than those from original paintings or drawings by American artists.

They use their magical talents to push people into doing the right thing at the right time. Rupert Venables is the junior Magid assigned to Earth and to the troublesome planets of the Koyrfonic Empire as well. The Empire is situated right at the twist at the center of the Multiverse. There is a problem of succession when the Emperor dies without a known heir, paralleled by a more personal problem on Earth when Rupert’s senior dies and appoints him senior. Now Rupert must search the Earth for an appropriate new Magid, while helping part-time to prevent the descent of the Empire into chaos. And then the problems become intertwined when Rupert finds that he can meet all five of the potential Magids on Earth by attending one SF convention in England. And that other forces, some of them completely out of control, will be there too.

The titles of those works were so worded that they gave the public the impression that I was their author. I have never written any book but the "Visits of Elizabeth." Everything that I write will be signed with my name, ELINOR GLYN BOOK I I I have wondered sometimes if there are not perhaps some disadvantages in having really blue blood in one's veins, like grandmamma and me.
