[Mrs. Justus Street Hotchkiss, the compiler of this book, died after a short illness on January 24, 1912. While most of the book was in type when she was taken ill, she was unable to give much attention to the proofs or to make final revision. The book is_issued, therefore, without the super­ vision of her who, for years, gave such devoted care and research to the work., and to whose efforts the publication of this volume is due.] TABLE OF CONTENTS PART I. Main lines 0£ Winchester descent 0£ Edmund Winchester from the first ancestor, John Winchester, who came to New England in 1635. PART II. Lines of descent from John Winchester, Jr., through Capt. John Winchester, Henry Winchester and Benjamin Winchester. PART III. Lines 0£ descent from Josiah Winchester. PART IV. The Winchesters of Maryland. PART V. Notes on Alexander Winchester. PREFACE This work was undertaken entirely for private circulation, and in collecting and compiling the following Winchester Notes my motive has been _solely the desire to give to the great-grand­ children of Edmund Winchester, Sr., and their descendants, some knowledge of their ancestors in· this country, his lineage and theirs, also to preserve for them many facts regarding our family of to-day, with its numerous connecting links, known to me, but which would probably be lost to them after my death.

  • Why These Schools?
    Why These Schools? � � � 21 captures f � 01 Nov 2002 - 08 Mar 2016 � About this capture Papers by Author Papers by Date Email Why These Schools? Stan Ingersol Historical Perspectives on Nazarene Higher Education Each religious movement breeds its own folklores, and a folklore whose truth is often assumed is that Nazarene colleges were founded to train ministers. This folklore has some merit, for certain Nazarene colleges did originate from a desire to train Christian workers—though not ministers exclusively. But in other cases the folklore is not true at all. Some Nazarene colleges began with the intention to establish a liberal arts college, while others emerged from schools founded originally to educate grammar and high school age youth. In the case of the latter, the focus was on educating a Christian laity and forming the identity of Nazarene youth in a way that integrated basic educational achievement with moral and spiritual training rooted in certain theological understandings. Thus, any generalizations about the purpose of early Nazarene colleges must be broad enough to take into account different intentions—training Christian workers and educating a Christian laity. Training Schools for Christian Workers The origins of present–day Point Loma Nazarene College offers a place to begin. It is commonly asserted that Phineas Bresee was the college's founder, and in a larger sense that is true. But if being a founder means being the initiator, then Bresee is not its founder. On this point, there is agreement between Timothy L. Smith (the late dean of Nazarene church history), Carl Bangs (author of the first critical biography of Bresee), and Ron Kirkemo (author of the first critical history of the college).

CHURCH OF THE NAZARENE Nazarene Higher Education . A w orld o f Influence As the Church of the Nazarene gathers for the General Assembly this summer, one stunning observation is the worldwide impact of our colleges, universities, and theological semi­ nary. Many of our missionaries—doctors, nurses, administrators, preachers, and teach­ ers—are living witnesses to the value and influence of Nazarene higher education. From the earliest days of the Church of the Nazarene there has been a great partnership be­ tween evangelism and education. These twin thrusts from the Great Commission continue to be expressed through the work of our schools. Nazarene colleges, universities, and theological seminary are inseparably linked to the church in this vital partnership of ministry.

  • Join Us for the Samaritan Hospital Reunion at Homecoming & Family Weekend! President’S Letter
    MesT H E se ng er NORTHWEST NAZARENE UNIVERSITY Fall 2012 Vol.100, Num.3 JOIN US FOR THE SAMARITAN HOSPITAL REUNION AT HOMECOMING & FAMILY WEEKEND! PRESIDENT’S LETTER Don’t you love stories, the way stories unfold and the way stories are told? We are all shaped by story. We live out our existence within the context of shared stories—families have stories, churches have stories, even businesses have stories. Throughout life we hold on to the characters and plot develop - ments of the stories that are meaningful to us. They become our guiding narra - tive. Neal Postman says it this way, “Our genius lies in our capacity to make meaning through the creation of narratives that give point to our labors, exalt our history, elucidate the present, and give direction to our future.” The NNU Centennial is a time for storytelling. We pause to remember, to retell stories, to laugh, to cry, for each of us associated with NNU has a story to tell. It is our story, but it is also part of the NNU story. It is the convergence of these two entities—individual and university—that yields the life-shaping narratives that each of us is writing, and each of us remembers. We will soon launch the Northwest Nazarene University Centennial Celebration. We light the Centennial candles at the 2012 Centennial Homecoming Kickoff and blow out the candles at the 2013 Centennial Homecoming Finale. Amidst the reunions and revelry we want to listen to our story. To better accomplish this NNU Centennial goal, we have sought the able and expert assistance of two of NNU’s favorite sons—Dr.
