August 15th and i6th, 1899. All descendants of John Peden and his wife ^Margaret (Peggy) ]\IcDill, who can possibly do so, are requested to join the undersigned in a family reunion at Fairview Presby- terian church, in Greenville County, S. C, on August 15th and 1 6th, 1899. From the best information obtainable, the parents of John Peden refugeed from Scotland to the Xortli of Ireland during the time of the religious persecution in the former country. He and his family came to the United States, first landing in I'ennsylvania, settling in Bucks and Chester counties; just how long they remained there we cannot say. About the year 1768 he (John) removed to the Spartan District, South Carolina, settling near Nazareth church, in what is now Spar- tanburg County. They had ten children. Sons—James, Thomas, William, John, Samuel, Alexander and David. Daughters—Hilary, who married James Alexander, Sr.,; Jane, who married Morton, after whose death she married Samuel Mor- row; Elizabeth, who married William Gaston. (The latter left no children.) As stated above, it is our design to have a reunion of as many of their descendants as possibly can attend at the place and time stated. It is our purpose to erect a monument in Fairview cemetery to the memory of these, our venerated ancestors, John and Margaret Peden. Presuming that all of the descendants would consider it a privilege to take part in this good work, they are hereby re- lo THE REUNION. quested to forward any amount (much or little) as they may feel able to give, to Mr. Adam S. Peden, treasurer, at Foun- tain Inn, Greenville County, S. C. The amount should be forwarded at once (this week, not next), as the cost, size and design of the monument will depend upon the amounts con- tributed. As the time will soon arrive for the reunion and much work will have to be done in the meantime, prompt action is absolutely necessary. There will be a receptacle in the monument (in the nature of a corner-stone) in which will be placed a list of the names of all contributors, with amounts given by each. We also request all descendants to bring or send individual or family photographs, with their names, postofhce address, etc., plainly written on same, to be placed in the receptacle- alluded to above. This feature may prove to be of inestimable interest and pleasure to our descendants, say one hundred years from now. Also bring or send any relics to be placed on exhibition. Kinsmen, remember the monument to honor our parents, who left us a good name is going to be erected, and if you wish to join us in the good work you must act immediately in forwarding your contribution. We take pleasure in vouching for the integrity and thorough reliability of our treasurer, Mr. Adam S. Peden, who is an elder of the old mother church (Fairview) that has done so much for the cause of Christianity for more than one hundred years. The treasurer will promptly acknowledge receipt of all amounts sent to him. Most interesting historical sketches and addresses will be heard an elaborate will ; program be arranged for the occa- sion, and copies will be sent to all who express a desire or in- tention to attend the reunion. Quite a number of the Pedens now spell their names P-a-d-e-n; of course, this invitation applies to them also; then there are a number of our kinsmen (Pedens and Padens) in the North and West, and elsewhere, they too, and all de- THE EEUNION. u scendants connected by marriage, are cordially invited to join with us in the reunion ceremonies. You are urgently requested to advise all other Peden, Alex- ander, Morton, and Morrow descendants, of your acquain- tance, of the plans set forth, invite them to attend the reunion anxl kindly ask your local papers to publish notices of this invitation, for the name of Peden is legion, and the bearers of it are widely scattered, and it is our desire that none be overlooked. Those who hear of the reunion and attend it will to be just as heartily welcomed as those known to us and whom these circulars are sent. It is very important that all who expect to attend should send their names as early as possible to Mr. A. S. Peden, Fountain Inn, S. C, so that the Arrangement Committee may provide entertainment for them. RECAPITULATION. 1st. Reunion of Peden descendants. 2nd. Place—Fairview church, Greenville County, S.

  • North Berwick and the Law
    North Berwick and the Law Start and finish: Scottish Seabird Centre Distance: 3km / 2 miles (one way) Time: 1½ - 2 hours each way Terrain: Mostly paths and well- surfaced pavements. Steep climb (178 metres / 583 feet) to the top of the Law. Directions: Head south on Victoria Road and Quality Street; continue through the Lodge Gardens and Grounds keeping straight ahead to emerge on to St Baldred’s Road. Cross the road and continue straight on, following the John Muir Way signs. You will go through a small, wooded area and then across Gilbert Avenue and Lochbridge Road. Follow the path into Law View and turn right, with North Berwick Law on your left. At the end of this path turn left and follow the path to the car park. From here follow the signed path to the summit. Points of interest: 1. Scottish Seabird Centre – lots of opportunities for learning about the amazing wildlife of the Firth of Forth and its islands. 2. St Andrew's Old Kirk – ancient church with remains dating from the 12th – 17th centuries surrounded by medieval graveyard. Recent excavations have identified even earlier remains. 3. Boat trips – many operators sail from North Berwick Harbour. 4. Lodge Gardens and Grounds – Victorian designed Public Park. 5. North Berwick Law is the remnant of ancient volcanic activity and is a typical ‘Crag and Tail’ land formation as a result of glacial erosion during the Ice Age. There is also an earlier Iron Age hill fort with evidence of prehistoric remains. The Napoleonic lookout shelter on the Law was subsequently used in World War I.

  • A Typical Day on the Bass by Maggie Sheddan, Senior Bass Rock Landing Guide
    A Typical Day on the Bass by Maggie Sheddan, Senior Bass Rock Landing Guide 04:45 With the first glimmer of dawn breaking through the darkened sky, I raced down the road for a moment regretting my offer to bring flasks of tea and coffee for the film crew. Turning the corner at the Seabird Centre I stopped dead in my tracks, my mood transformed in a split second. The night sky turned purple and lilac with spreading fingers of deep reds from the rising sun, the calm sea reflecting the splendour. There, silhouetted in this changing scene, is our destination; the Bass Rock. Camera in hand, time stopped for five minutes. I watched and snapped as the orange and yellows painted out the night sky. How lucky am I to start my working day like this. 05:02 reality! I had 20 minutes to make the coffee and meet the film crew. Filming on the Bass had finished the previous day but the Bass Rock experience had taken them (as it does for many) by surprise. They wanted another chance to film this exceptional spectacle along with more footage of plunge diving gannets. (You can see this footage on the BBC's Nature's Top 40 programme on YouTube). My normal day during the gannet season starts at 05:15 with the latest weather and swell reports scrutinised while I have breakfast. The rucksack fills up: flask, food, waterproofs, gloves and hats plus suntan lotion and more. En-route I stop near Canty Bay and with binoculars have a good look at the sea around the Bass landing area.

  • Donald Macleod, "Scottish Calvinism: a Dark, Repressive Force?" Scottish Bulletin of Evangelical Theology 19.2 (Autumn
    SCOTTISH CALVINISM: A DARK, REPRESSIVE FORCE? 00NALD MACLEOD, PRINCIPAL, FREE CHURCH COLLEGE, EDINBURGH INTRODUCTION 'Scottish Calvinism has been a dark, repressive force.' The thesis is a common one; almost, indeed, an axiom. Few seem to realise, however, that the thesis cannot be true without its corollary: the Scots are a repressed people, lacking the confidence to express themselves and living in fear of their sixteenth-century Super Ego. The corollary, in turn, immediately faces a paradox. Scotland has never been frightened to criticise Calvinism. This is particularly true of our national literature. John Knox has been the object of relentless opprobrium, the Covenanters have been pilloried as epitomes of bigotry and intolerance, Thomas Boston portrayed as a moron, the Seceders as kill­ joys and Wee Frees as antinomian Thought Police. The phenomenon is unparalleled in the literature of any other part of the United Kingdom. There has been no comparable English assault on Anglicanism. Nor has there been a similar Irish critique of Catholicism. Scotland has been unique in the ferocity with which its literature has turned on its religion. The Kirk's brood may have been rebellious. They have certainly not been repressed. DETRACTORS The most influential detractor was, of course, Waiter Scott, whose heroic, well-rounded Cavaliers and Jacobites contrast vividly with his narrow, bigoted Presbyterians and Covenanters. But Scott was not the first. Robert Burns had already set the agenda. In Holy Willie 's Prayer, for example, he stereotypes and lampoons the 'typical' Calvinist elder, famed only for his polemical cant, tippling orthodoxy and blind hypocrisy. His God, Sends ane to heaven an' ten to hell A' for thy glory! And no for ony gude or ill they've done afore thee.

Reasonably good verse on the subject has been supplied in sufficient quantity. But the maker of folksongs for our newborn nation requires a somewhat rare combination of gifts and experiences. Dowered with the poet's heart, he must yet have passed his ‘wander-jaehre’ amid the stern solitude of the Austral waste — must have ridden the race in the back-block township, guided the reckless stock-horse adown the mountain spur, and followed the night- long moving, spectral-seeming herd ‘in the droving days’.

  • The Bass Rock
    The Bass Rock. OAviO J l««,oi~, AT lf<<.M fJXA\ ^^ fiSli - t —____ k« . CHAPTER I. GENERAL DESCRIPTION. HE rocky islands that dot the shores of the Forth have been picturesquely described by Sir Walter Scott in " Marmion " as " emeralds chased in gold." They have also been described as " bleak islets." Both these seemingly contradictory descriptions are true according as the sky is bright and sunny or, as so often happens in our northern climate, cloudy and1 overcast. Of these islands those known as the greater *' emeralds " are Inchkeith, Inchcolme, May Island, and the Bass. The lesser " emeralds " being Cramond, Inch- garvie, Fidra, Eyebroughty, and Craig Leith. Over nearly all these islands there clings a halo of romance and legend. With Inchkeith we associate a gallant chieftain, of the name of Keith, who in one of the« invasions of the Danes slew their leader, and received the island as a reward from a grateful King. 4 THE BASS ROCK. Inchcolme takes us back to the time of the Britons when the Druids are said to have here practised the mysteries of their religion. It was here, too, that David I., having sought refuge in a storm, was enter- tained by the hermit, and afterwards in gratitude founded a monastery, the ruins of which form at the present day a picturesque feature of the island. The May Island in early Christian times was dedi- cated to religious uses, and here a colony of monks under the saintly Adrian were massacred by the Danes. The beautifully shaped Fidra has also its historical associations, having had a monastic establishment in con- nection with the Abbey at North Berwick, and also a castle called Tarbert, which at one time belonged to the Lauders of the Bass.

  • Perception As Process in the Poetic Theory and Paterson
    PERCEPTION AS PROCESS IN THE POETIC THEORY AND PATERSON OF WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS by ANDREW CHARLES J. ROBERTSON B,A,, University of British. Columbia, 1969 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ARTS in the Department of English We accept this thesis as conforming to the required standard THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA April, 1971 In presenting this thesis in partial fulfilment of the requirements for an advanced degree at the University of British Columbia, I agree that the Library shall make it freely available for reference and study. I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada ABSTRACT This thesis seeks to identify the philosophical arguments behind William Carlos Williams' constant attack upon accepted patterns of thought, behaviour and art. The first chapter outlines Williams' belief in the necessity of a continual process of renewal in order to prevent traditional approaches to experience from decaying individual perception into unconscious habits of pre• conception. The thesis then debates the possibility and value of pure perception in contrast to preconception, of objectivity in contrast to subjectivity, of the need for artistic impartiality to prevent biassed perception. This line of inquiry develops into a discussion of Williams' doctrine of change as essential to clear perception: Williams'advocation of the new, of the perception of present, local reality is a struggle against the traditional habitual concentration upon the past, the foreign and upon future abstractions.
