Frederick, a German prince who arrived in England as an adult and was on very bad terms with his father, was making considerable efforts to ingratiate himself and build a following among his subjects-to-be which turned out to be unnecessary as he predeceased his father and never became king. A confident, forward-looking nation — as the culture secretary, Oliver Dowden , claims we are — would not feel obliged to maintain archaic and offensive traditions, nor lack the creativity to build something more meaningful in its place.

  • The Alpha and Omega of Deadly Heresies: a Treatise on the Cause and Effect Relationship in the Teachings of Kellogg and Ballenger 1
    The Alpha and Omega of Deadly Heresies: A Treatise on the Cause and Effect Relationship in the Teachings of Kellogg and Ballenger 1 During the earliest years of the twentieth century, the Seventh-day Adventist church experienced one of its greatest crises. Leading men within the ministry and medical fields began believing and teaching a God that was in all nature. The belief in God as a personal Being was replaced with a spiritualised essence which had much in common with pantheism. Riding at the head of this tide of false teachings was John Harvey Kellogg, a leading physician. He was a brilliant man, who, full of ambition and unsubmitted to God, sought prominence and power within the church. His pantheistic teachings were made prominent and popularised in his book titled The Living Temple , which was published in the first months of 1903. This period of Adventist history is often spoken of as the Kellogg Crisis. The ministry of Ellen White was integral in meeting the errors of Kellogg and his associates as well as the spirit behind them. She spoke of the principles they used in coming to their teachings as “the alpha of a train of heresies,” 2 and “the alpha of deadly heresies.” 3 She spoke of an “omega” that would follow, “in a little while.” 4 Hot on the heels of this falling away came Albion Fox Ballenger. Ballenger was a powerful preacher in the church and a leading figure in the work in Great Britain before he departed from the truth. He accepted and taught the Protestant understanding that Christ entered the Most Holy Place upon His ascension, denying the two-apartment Sanctuary ministry in Heaven as the church taught.

  • The Legacy of Virdung: Rare Books on Music from the Collection of Frederick R
    THE LEGACY OF VIRDUNG: RARE BOOKS ON MUSIC FROM THE COLLECTION OF FREDERICK R. SELCH March 2006 – June 2006 INTRODUCTION FREDERICK R. SELCH (1930-2002) Collector, scholar, performer, advertising executive, Broadway musical producer, magazine publisher, and editor (Ovation); organizer of musical events, including seven exhibitions (two at the Grolier Club), president and artistic director of the Federal Music Society, music arranger, musical instrument repairer and builder; book binder; lecturer and teacher; and most of all, beloved raconteur who knew something about almost every subject. He earned a Ph.D. from NYU in American studies just before his death, writing a highly praised dissertation: “Instrumental Accompaniments for Yankee Hymn Tunes, 1760-1840.” In short, Eric (as he was known) did it all. Eric was a practitioner of material culture, studying the physical and intellectual evidence found in objects, images, the written word, oral history, sound, and culture. Consequently, his interpretations and conclusions about musical topics are especially immediate, substantive, and illuminating. He has left a great legacy for those of us interested in organology (the scientific study of musical instruments) and in particular, American music history. As a collector, Eric’s first serious instrument purchase (aside from those he regularly played) was a seventeenth-century European clavichord he acquired from an extraordinary dealer, Sydney Hamer, in Washington, D.C., where Eric was stationed during the Korean War. Hamer helped focus his eye and develop his taste. Following his service, he worked in London, then studied music and opera stage production and set design in Milan, and opera staging and voice in Siena.

  • The Use That the Future Makes of the Past: John Marshall's Greatness
    William and Mary Law Review VOLUME 43 NO. 4, 2002 THE USE THAT THE FUTURE MAKES OF THE PAST: JOHN MARSHALL’S GREATNESS AND ITS LESSONS FOR TODAY’S SUPREME COURT JUSTICES JACK M. BALKIN* John Marshall’s greatness rests on a relatively small number of Supreme Court opinions, of which the most famous are Marbury v. Madison,1 McCulloch v. Maryland,2 and Gibbons v. Ogden.3 Beyond these are a number of less famous but also important cases, including his opinions in the Native American cases,4 Fletcher v. Peck,5 and Dartmouth College v. Woodward.6 What makes Marshall a great Justice? One feature is certainly his institutional role in making the U.S. Supreme Court much more important to American politics than it had been previously. That is a function, however, of the sorts of cases that were brought before the Court, and of the opinions he chose to write. Marshall was also important as an early intellectual leader of the Court, as opposed * Knight Professor of Constitutional Law and the First Amendment, Yale Law School.

I had for many years written against time, so that the waiting presses might have their daily record of violent historic events that consummated themselves around me, and once more I felt in me the familiar urgent need to complete my story (this time a book) before an invasion prevented me (I had finished two others, Insanity Fair in 1938 and Disgrace Abounding in 1939, just ahead of such armed incursions). Thus I scanned sea and sky, between writing lines and chapters, for the oncoming shapes of German ships or aircraft.

  • Welcome Back, Kotter! (And Everyone Else Too!) by B.J
    1 Welcome Back, Kotter! (and everyone else too!) By B.J. Hutto, Pastor Friends, As I write to you today, I am struck—perhaps for the first time in my life—by just how many things are going on around us right now. All of the standard markers of springtime are here: The Players Championship was last weekend, the men’s and women’s NCAA basketball tournaments have kicked off, Major League Baseball spring training is in full swing, and spring camp has begun for many college football programs. While, yes, one thing that all of these events have in common is that they’re all sports- related (apologies for that…), another is that they are all things that were upended in the spring of 2020. While I might have taken them all for granted in years past, after last year I won’t anymore. Indeed, there are a number of areas of life that seem to shine more brightly this year because of the pall of the last 12 months. And one of those, I am glad to say, is church! As the rollout of vaccines has continued—and, in fact, accelerated—over the last two months, it has been a blessing to be able to welcome friends back to worship on Sundays and to see you all reconnect at other activities on campus, such as our Dinners on the Grounds! In that same vein, I wanted to let everyone know that the church staff remains in conversation with one another, with colleagues in other churches, and with lay leadership here in order to discern how to continue welcoming our HAB family back to church life as quickly, safely, and hospitably as possible.
