The Protection of Missouri Governors Has Come a Long Way Since 1881, When Governor Thomas Crittenden Kept a .44-Caliber Smith and Wesson Revolver in His Desk Drawer
GOVERNOR’S SECURITY DIVISION The protection of Missouri governors has come a long way since 1881, when Governor Thomas Crittenden kept a .44-caliber Smith and Wesson revolver in his desk drawer. He had offered a $5,000 reward for the arrest and delivery of Frank and Jesse James, and kept the weapon handy to guard against retaliation. In less than a year, Jesse James had been killed, and in October 1882, Frank James surrendered, handing his .44 Remington revolver to Governor Crittenden in the governor’s office. In 1939, eight years after the creation of the Missouri State Highway Patrol, several troopers were assigned to escort and chauffeur Governor Lloyd Stark, and provide security at the Governor’s Mansion for the first family following death threats by Kansas City mobsters. Governor Stark had joined federal authorities in efforts to topple political boss Tom Pendergast. Within a year, Pendergast and 100 of his followers were indicted. In early 1963, Colonel Hugh Waggoner called Trooper Richard D. Radford into his office one afternoon. He told Tpr. Radford to report to him at 8 a.m. the following morning in civilian clothes. At that time, he would accompany Tpr. Radford to the governor’s office. The trooper was introduced to Governor John Dalton and was assigned to full-time security following several threats. Since security for the governor was in its infancy, Tpr. Radford had to develop procedures as he went along. There was no formal protection training available at this time, and the only equipment consisted of a suit, concealed weapon, and an unmarked car. -

John W. Welch, “'All Their Creeds Were an Abomination':A Brief Look at Creeds As Part of the Apostasy,”
John W. Welch, “‘All Their Creeds Were an Abomination’:A Brief Look at Creeds as Part of the Apostasy,” in Prelude to the Restoration: From Apostasy to the Restored Church (Provo, UT and Salt Lake City: Religious Studies Center, Brigham Young University and Deseret Book, 2004), 228–249. “All Their Creeds Were an Abomination”: A Brief Look at Creeds as Part of the Apostasy John W. Welch John W. Welch is a professor of law at Brigham Young University and editor-in-chief of BYU Studies. On October 15, 1843, the Prophet Joseph Smith commented, “I cannot believe in any of the creeds of the different denominations, because they all have some things in them I cannot subscribe to, though all of them have some truth. I want to come up into the presence of God, and learn all things: but the creeds set up stakes, and say, ‘Hitherto [1] shalt thou come, and no further’; which I cannot subscribe to.” While Latter-day Saints gladly and gratefully recognize that all religious creeds contain some truth, the problem is that those formulations of doctrine also contain errors or impose limits that are “incompatible with the gospel’s inclusive commitment to truth and continual [2] revelation.” Such mixing of truth and error is reminiscent of the parable of the wheat and the tares, the Lord’s most [3] salient teaching on the nature of the Apostasy (Matthew 13:24–30, 37–43; JST Matthew 13; D&C 86:1–11). Thus, the creeds themselves, as vessels of mixed qualities, become metaphors or manifestations of the Apostasy itself. -

Smith: Regulatory Reform at the State Level: A Guide to Cutting Red Tape Regulatory Reform at the State Level: A Guide to Cutting Red Tape for Governors and Executive Branch Officials Justin D. Smith* ABSTRACT This article provides recommendations for governors and other executive branch officials to consider when implementing regulatory reform. Studies have shown that regulatory reform is needed because of the substantial impact on the economy, consumers, and businesses. Recent technological advances have al- lowed regulations to be quantified by a metric known as regulatory restrictions, which counts uses of “shall,” “must,” “may not,” “prohibited,” and “required.” Quantifying regulatory restrictions allows for comparison of the regulatory scope between states. -

Lesson 65 Young Disciples Curriculum Online
Lesson 65 Young Disciples Curriculum Online Purpose - To learn about how The Disciples of Christ started - To learn about the Campbells - To learn about “Raccoon” Smith and Walter Scott - To learn about Barton Stone Materials - Handouts - Bibles Background Information Starting today we will learn the history of the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ and how it all began. Our church really had two beginnings. One led by Thomas and Alexander Campbell and the other by Barton Stone. We will study each and then find out how they merged and fit it all together. THE CAMPBELLS Thomas Campbell was a Presbyterian minister and schoolteacher in Ireland. The Presbyterian Church was kind of divided into five groups. Thomas Campbell was part of the Evangelical, New Light, Anti-Burgher, Secedar Presbyterians. (How would you like to tell that to people every time they asked you what church you go to.) That group was liberal and evangelical in comparison to the others that were very rigid in what they believed. In 1807 Thomas Campbell immigrated to American to establish a home so that his family could join him later. He brought with him his authority to be a minister in the Presbyterian Church, his Bible, and possibly a few books and personal belongings. For two years he was a circuit minister. This meant that he traveled around on horseback and gave communion to the people who lived in rural Pennsylvania. According to the rules of his church in Ireland he was only allowed to give the Lord’s Supper to those who were a part of the New Light, Anti-Burgher, Secedar Presbyterian church. -
Unity and Brush Run: the Declaration and Address
Unity and Brush Run: The Declaration and Address By Douglas A. Foster Director, Center for Restoration Studies Professor of Church History Graduate School of Theology Abilene Christian University The church of Christ upon earth is essentially, intentionally, and constitutionally one; consisting of all those in every place that profess their faith in Christ and obedience to him in all things according to the scriptures, and that manifest the same by their tempers and conduct, and of none else as none else can be truly and properly called Christians. hile not at the beginning of Thomas Campbell’s 1809 Declaration and Address of the Christian Association of Washington, these words are at the heart of the Stone- W Campbell Movement’s reason for being. Deeply embedded in the soul of the churches of this global movement is the vision of this founding document, a vision for the visible unity of Christ’s church on earth. Born out of Campbell’s burden to end the fighting and division among professed followers of the Prince of Peace, the Declaration and Address (D&A) is a call and a rationale for Christians to live out the truth that “there is one body.” Thomas Campbell wrote the D&A as an explanation of the nature and purpose of the newly formed Christian Association in late summer 1809. The creation of the Association was in response to his expulsion from the Associate Synod of North America, the Presbyterian denomination he had served since arriving in the United States two years earlier.1 His dismissal was sparked by his violation of the rules of the Associate Synod to exclude from the Lord’s Supper anyone not part of their order. -
