The protracted struggle between science and the classics appears to be drawing to a close, with victory about to perch on the banner of science, as a perusal of almost any university or college catalogue shows. While a limited knowledge of both Greek and Latin is important for the correct use of our own language, the amount till recently required, in my judgment, has been absurdly out of proportion to the intrinsic value of these branches, or perhaps more correctly roots, of study. The classics have been thoroughly and painfully threshed out, and it seems impossible that anything new can be unearthed. We may equal the performances of the past, but there is no opportunity to surpass them or produce anything original. Even the much−vaunted "mental training" argument is beginning to pall; for would not anything equally difficult give as good developing results, while by learning a live matter we kill two birds with one stone? There can be no question that there are many forces and influences in Nature whose existence we as yet little more than suspect. How much more interesting it would be if, instead of reiterating our past achievements, the magazines and literature of the period should devote their consideration to what we do NOT know! It is only through investigation and research that inventions come; we may not find what we are in search of, but may discover something of perhaps greater moment. It is probable that the principal glories of the future will be found in as yet but little trodden paths, and as Prof. Cortlandt justly says at the close of his history, "Next to religion, we have most to hope from science." BOOK I. A JOURNEY IN OTHER WORLDS. −−−− CHAPTER 1. JUPITER.

They had often seen it in the terrestrial sky, emitting its strong, steady ray, and had thought of that far−away planet, about which till recently so little had been known, and a burning desire had possessed them to go to it and explore its mysteries.

  • Traveling the Way of Love
    Traveling the Way of Love Season One Guides episcopalchurch.org/traveling-the-way-love In Season 1 of Traveling the Way of Love, we visit with Episcopalians and others in seven extraordinary places, finding out how we can turn, learn, pray, worship, bless, go, and rest in our own contexts and neighborhoods. As you watch Season 1, use the compiled resources in this guide with your congregation or small group to learn more about the practices for Jesus-centered life. Then, consider how you’ll continue serving God and neighbor on the Way of Love. BLESS Jesus called his disciples to give, forgive, teach, and heal in his name, and we are empowered by the Spirit to bless everyone we meet, practicing gen- erosity and compassion and proclaiming the Good News of God in Christ with hopeful words and selfless actions. Come along as we visit the Bishop Walker School in the Diocese of Washington. This school, founded to share blessings with the young people of Ward 8, has found itself blessed in turn by its students and community. Traveling the Way of Love Episode 1: BLESS Freely you have received; freely give. –Matthew 10:8 Jesus called his disciples to give, forgive, teach, and To teach people—whether they be children in heal in his name.

    “Whisper” Sermon Series Sermon Notes: 1/2 “The Bravest Prayer” • For additional church resources visit MarkBatterson.com/Whisper • To inquire about bulk book order discounts on Whisper visit the Multnomah Purchasing Page here. Half a century ago, Dr. Alfred Tomatis was confronted with the most curious case of his fifty-year career as an otolar- yngologist. A renowned opera singer had mysteriously lost his ability to hit certain notes even though those notes were well within his vocal range. He had been to other specialists, all of whom thought it was a vocal problem. Dr. Tomatis thought otherwise. Using a sonometer, Dr. Tomatis determined that this opera singer was producing 140-decibel sound waves at a meter’s distance. That’s louder than a military jet taking off from an aircraft carrier! That discovery led to this diagnosis: the opera singer had been deafened by the sound of his own voice. And because he couldn’t hear the note, he could no longer sing the note. In Dr. Tomatis’s words, “The voice can only reproduce what the ear can hear.” The French Academy of Medicine dubbed it the Tomatis effect. And it’s ramifications go way beyond opera. Listen, here’s my theory. All of us have problems—relational problems, emotional problems, spiritual problems. We think those problems are the problem, but I think they’re symptoms. The root cause of our problems is a spiritual Tomatis effect—ears that have been deafened to the voice of God. It’s our own negative self-talk. God can’t get a word in edgewise! It’s the voice of criticism—you’ve heard that voice so often for so long that you can’t believe anything else about yourself.

  • St. John's Episcopal Church
    St. John’s Episcopal Church A place to discover connections with God and one another www.sjparish.net The Third Sunday of Advent HOLY EUCHARIST RITE II December 11, 2016 10:30 a.m. 2 THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT An Advent Message from the Rector This is the season of Advent, a time of paradox. Advent is both beginnings and endings as we prepare to encounter the Mystery of God in our very midst. We are invited to enter into a time of quiet contemplation as we anticipate God breaking into human history in the shape of a tiny, fragile infant we will welcome as the Christ Child. At the same time we wait for the day of the Lord’s coming. In this in-between time, we wait with hope in the darkness of winter for the light of Christ to come into the world. Advent is the beginning of a new church year, with the focus on a particular gospel in our Sunday lectionary readings. This year, we will read from Matthew’s gospel. These four weeks of Advent are an opportunity to listen to that still small voice within, beckoning each one of us to stop and set some time apart from our busy holiday preparations to simply be with God. Time spent with the Holy One is to experience the greatest gift of all: God’s extravagant outpouring of love and mercy made manifest on Christmas morning. There is no greater gift. If you are with us for the first time, please make yourself comfortable, and stay for coffee following the service.

Whether we are talking about two people or two hundred people, any notion of Us presumes the individual—presumes the Me. And while for the sake of appearances we often project a Me that is stable and solid, completely put to- gether - for many of us the real Me is barely holding it together. We suppress. We ignore. We hide the truth of our lives, the truth of what it means to be Me. During these days and weeks of Lent we are hoping to be a safe place for you to be honest with all of who you are. We are inviting you to find strength and heal- ing by acknowledging that sometimes our lives are not perfectly put together.

  • Week 3, Day 5 Psalm 126: 4-6 Hot Chocolate Marshmallows
    Introduction Weather is a common topic for small talk. Because of our ever-changing climate, it seems that us Midwesterners are constantly checking our weather apps, looking at the forecast to adjust our travel arrangements, and turning our gaze to the horizon to read the forecast in the clouds. However, weather is an inevitable piece of life that remains firmly outside our grasp and cycles on, shifting and changing, blowing in and out of the spaces where we remain. Winter especially, brings a new dimension to window watching and sky gazing. I’ve heard some people talk about making it through a Midwestern winter the same way people talk about running a marathon or cycling cross-country. For some, it is a journey of pride. For others, it is a journey of grit. Wintry days take perseverance and intentional observation. Winter weather also prompts so many questions, particularly about snow. Will we get any? Is there some sitting heavy in those clouds above? Will it come with ice and how will the roads be after it arrives? So many nuances that tug at our curiosity and keep our minds spinning with possibilities. Some jump for joy when those first flakes appear, some grumble, some only want to observe it from a distance, and some, like me and my winter-loving pup, want to run outside and throw our whole body into it. Snow is the final step in a cyclical process that, most of the time, we can’t see without special radars and fancy algorithms. Yet, it all starts with a tiny particle that changes into something more than it was before.
