THE Youth/S INSTRUCTOR SEPTEMBER 30, 1969 / THE yoUTH S INSTRUCTOR • • Sabbath School Lessons for October 4 THE YOUTH'S INSTRUCTOR ® Private Worlds by DOROTHY EMMERSON THE YOUTH'S INSTRUCTOR is a non- fiction weekly. It is published for young adults who are capable of asking sincere questions, and who seek to know the counsels of Scripture. Its contents are chosen to serve readers who want to reach maturity—spiritually, socially, in- tellectually, and physically. Its staff holds that God is man's heavenly Fa- ther; that Jesus is man's Saviour; that genuine Christians will strive to love God supremely and their neighbors as themselves. Its pages reflect an expanding ob- jective from 1852 to 1969. First it husband and I were admiring a was essentially a vehicle for providing young couple at the next table.

  • The Demon Haunted World
    THE DEMON- HAUNTED WORLD Science as a Candle in the Dark CARL SAGAN BALLANTINE BOOKS • NEW YORK Preface MY TEACHERS It was a blustery fall day in 1939. In the streets outside the apartment building, fallen leaves were swirling in little whirlwinds, each with a life of its own. It was good to be inside and warm and safe, with my mother preparing dinner in the next room. In our apartment there were no older kids who picked on you for no reason. Just the week be- fore, I had been in a fight—I can't remember, after all these years, who it was with; maybe it was Snoony Agata from the third floor— and, after a wild swing, I found I had put my fist through the plate glass window of Schechter's drug store. Mr. Schechter was solicitous: "It's all right, I'm insured," he said as he put some unbelievably painful antiseptic on my wrist. My mother took me to the doctor whose office was on the ground floor of our building. With a pair of tweezers, he pulled out a fragment of glass. Using needle and thread, he sewed two stitches. "Two stitches!" my father had repeated later that night. He knew about stitches, because he was a cutter in the garment industry; his job was to use a very scary power saw to cut out patterns—backs, say, or sleeves for ladies' coats and suits—from an enormous stack of cloth. Then the patterns were conveyed to endless rows of women sitting at sewing machines.

    Sleep, Sickness, and Spirituality: Altered States and Victorian Visions of Femininity in British and American Art, 1850-1915 Kimberly E. Hereford A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Susan Casteras, Chair Paul Berger Stuart Lingo Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Art History ©Copyright 2015 Kimberly E. Hereford ii University of Washington Abstract Sleep, Sickness, and Spirituality: Altered States and Victorian Visions of Femininity in British and American Art, 1850-1915 Kimberly E. Hereford Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Susan Casteras Art History This dissertation examines representations in art of the Victorian woman in “altered states.” Though characterized in Victorian art in a number of ways, women are most commonly stereotyped as physically listless and mentally vacuous. The images examined show the Victorian female in a languid and at times reclining or supine pose in these representations. In addition, her demeanor implies both emotional and physical depletion, and there is both a pronounced abandonment of the physical and a collapsing effect, as if all mental faculties are withdrawing inward. Each chapter is dedicated to examining one of these distinct but interrelated types of femininity that flourished throughout British and American art from c. 1850 to c. 1910. The chapters for this dissertation are organized sequentially to demonstrate a selected progression of various states of consciousness, from the most obvious (the sleeping woman) to iii the more nuanced (the female Aesthete and the female medium). In each chapter, there is the visual perception of the Victorian woman as having access to otherworldly conditions of one form or another.

  • The Art of the Final Judgment Artists Have Struggled to Portray the Final Judgment in a Spiritu- Ally Discerning Manner
    The Art of the Final Judgment Artists have struggled to portray the Final Judgment in a spiritu- ally discerning manner. How can their work avoid sinking into a kind of morbid voyeurism and superficial speculation about future calamities? Christian Reflection Prayer A Series in Faith and Ethics Scripture Reading: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; 1 Corinthians 15:50-57; Matthew 24:29-31; Revelation 1:4-8 Responsive Reading† Come, you sinners poor and needy, Focus Articles: weak and wounded, sick and sore: Jesus ready stands to save us, Left Behind and Getting full of pity, love and power.

She locks eyes with the ancient-styled sculpture, but the head of the god, who may be Bacchus or Hermes, seems alive, and he smiles ever so suggestively in response to her supple form. Everything soars and falls in sensuous curves: the tendrils of ivy; the long tresses of the bacchante floating in the breeze; her slender arms that encircle and decorate the god’s head with succulent grapes; her robe, gingerly clipped to her small waist with a delicate belt and clasp.
