  • Celebrate the Light! by the Rev

    Celebrate the Light! by the Rev

    Celebrate the Light! By the Rev. Kenn Stright, Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations Committee Light is important in many religions and festivals throughout the world. It is most often the symbol of the divine who brings light into the world… “Let there be light!” (Genesis 1:3). Being such a religiously diverse and multicultural nation, Canada and Canadians have many wonderful opportunities to “celebrate the light.” God is the Light of the heavens and earth. His Light is like this: there is a niche, and in it a lamp, the lamp inside a glass, a glass like a glittering star, fuelled from a blessed olive tree from neither east nor west, whose oil almost gives light even when no fire touches it—light upon light—God guides whoever He will to his Light; God draws such comparisons for people; God has full knowledge of everything—shining out in houses of worship. —Qur’an 24:35–6 The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not overcome it. (John 1:5) The “Where are you going?” questions below are to let people know they can go and celebrate these festivals of light regardless of faith background and all of them are found here in Canada, maybe just around the corner. Where are you going? To celebrate Diwali. It’s Diwali, come and see the lights! This is the festival of lights, celebrated by millions of Hindus, Sikhs and Jains across the world with each candle symbolizing the power of light to conquer darkness. Hindus also take advantage of this period to contemplate and dispel the darkness of ignorance.
  • It's a Christmas Tree

    It's a Christmas Tree

    It’s a Christmas Tree A few days ago, a debate boiled over in Boston when the city’s Web site referred to a giant tree erected on Boston Common as a “holiday tree.” Such a name drew instant response from Christians, including the Rev. Jerry Falwell, whose law group, the Liberty Counsel, threatened to file a lawsuit if the tree wasn’t rechristened with Christmas. “The Boston Christmas tree situation is symbolic of what’s happening … around the country,” said Matthew Staver, president and general counsel of Liberty Counsel. “Government officials, either because of misinformation, or private retailers, for politically correct reasons, are trying to secularize Christmas. To rename a Christmas tree as a holiday tree is as offensive as renaming a Jewish menorah a candlestick.” The Nova Scotia logger who cut down the 48-foot tree for Boston also was indignant. Donnie Hatt, the logger, said he would not have donated the tree if he had known of the name change. “I’d have cut it down and put it through the chipper,” he said. “If they decide it should be a holiday tree, I’ll tell them to send it back. If it was a holiday tree, you might as well put it up at Easter.” Boston Mayor Thomas M. Menino said he would refer to the white spruce as a Christmas tree. The city has since restored the name to Christmas tree on its Web site. Later, Speaker J. Dennis Hastert in the U.S. House of Representatives told federal officials that the lighted, decorated tree on the West Lawn of the U.S.

    Liberty Counsel Sample Listing of Christmas Issues

    Liberty Counsel Sample Listing of Christmas Issues The following list is a sample of the scores of Christmas-related issues in which Liberty Counsel has been involved. This list represents a small fraction of the many Christmas-related cases. Independence, MO – Management at a complex funded by the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) did not allow residents to display Christmas decorations on the outside of their properties, while they allowed other types of decorations. Liberty Counsel sent letters to the management company and then alerted HUD of the situation. HUD initiated an investigation of the company for Fair Housing Act violations. Westfield, MA - Westfield High School L.I.F.E. Bible club wanted to pass out candy canes with an attached religious message about the origin of the candy cane and Christmas to their fellow classmates during non-instructional time. They were told by the superintendent that they were not allowed to distribute the candy canes because they would be violating the rights of those around them that don’t want to hear the message. Six students in the Bible club were suspended after they distributed the candy canes with the attached religious message. One of the students was a senior and a member of the National Honor Society, and another student aspired to enter a military academy after graduation. The Honor Society student would have lost her membership in the Honor Society due to the disciplinary action and would have likely hurt her chances of obtaining a scholarship to college. Similarly, the student who wanted to attend a military academy would have hurt his chances of obtaining entrance because of the disciplinary action.

  • Material INDEX

    Material INDEX

    ACKNOWLEDGEMENT No matter how much hard work and countless of hours are put into creating a book such as this, its ultimate success depends on more than the work a single individual. In particular, I would like to thank George Behe and Bill Wormstedt for their unflinching encouragement and support from the very start of this project. Not only did they both take many hours of their own time to painstakingly proofread this work, but they also provided me with many constructive ideas and creative suggestions along the way. I would also like to thank Dr. Paul Lee for sharing a scan of the original handwritten wireless log of the SS Birma with me, and for discussing the various entries that were written on it. His own book, The Titanic and the Indifferent Stranger, is extremely well researched and is highly recommended reading for any serious student of the Californian affair. Another resource of information worth mentioning was Dave Bilnitzer’s former website, “The Titanic and the Mystery Ship,” which examined various arguments put forth by various authors of the Californian affair, and allowed the reader to compare those arguments with verbatim extracts from the 1912 inquiries and other contemporary sources. In addition to the above, I would also like to thank Tim Maltin for providing me with copies of Almerian’s Greenwich Mean Noon Observations and Daily Journal forms for her April 1912 eastbound voyage that he uncovered, and for letting me include them in my articles and books. I would also like to thank Bruce Beveridge for allowing me to use his general arrangement plans of Titanic on more than one occasion in many of my publications, and to thank those in charge of the Dundee City Archives for providing me with a copy of the original design plans of the SS Californian for use in my research and published work.
  • The Enigmatic Excursion of the SS Birma

    The Enigmatic Excursion of the SS Birma

    The Enigmatic Excursion of the SS Birma By Samuel Halpern Introduction There were a number of ships that received Titanic’s desperate calls for assistance the night of April 14, 1912. Including in the list, and the time at which they first heard from or about Titanic, are: SHIP [call letters] TIME (EST) Frankfurt [DFT] 10:25pm April 14 La Provence [MLP] 10:25pm April 14 Mount Temple [MLQ] 10:25pm April 14 Ypiranga [DYA] 10:28pm April 14 Caronia [MRA] 10:31pm April 14 Asian [MKL] 10:34pm April 14 Carpathia [MPA] 10:35pm April 14 Baltic [MBC] (via Caronia) 10:35pm April 14 Olympic [MKC] 10:50pm April 14 Celtic [MLC] 11:00pm April 14 Cincinnati [DDC] 11:05pm April 14 Virginian [MGN] 11:10pm April 14 In addition to these there was the Russian-American Line steamer Birma en route for Rotterdam and Libau from New York under the command of Captain Ludwick Stulping. Birma was a relatively small vessel, 415 feet in length, 46 feet in beam, and registered at 4595 gross tons. She had one yellow colored funnel, four masts, a single screw, and a rated speed of 13 knots. She also had accommodation for several first class, 200 second class, and 1,150 third class passengers. She was built by Fairfield Co. Ltd., Glasgow, and launched on October 2, 1894 as Arundel Castle for the Castle Mail Packet Company. In 1905 she was sold to the East Asiatic Company and renamed Birma for the far east service. In 1908 she was transferred to their subsidiary company, the Russian East Asiatic Steamship Company which became known as the Russian-American Line.

Mounted skeletons of dinosaurs from the Red Deer River badlands are outstanding exhibits in some of the world's great museums.
