Sterling won the Democratic primary race for the Texas governorship. He defeated ten other contenders - including fonner governor Miriam A. "Ma" Ferguson - to succeed popular, two-term Democrat Dan Moody. Because Texas was essentially a single-party state, winning the primary ensured a candidate's ultimate election to office. Despite the onerous demands placed upon him by the campaign, Sterling soon confronted economic problems that made the primary election fight a pleasant memory.l The Texas economy during the early years of the Great Depression relied upon the production of two commodities: cotton and oil. The inherent capriciousness of both industries exacerbated the already painful effects the Great Depression had on farmers and oil men. Cotton production depended upon adequate rain and sunshine appearing in the correct proportions. in the proper sequence, for the right length of time. Success in the discovery and production of oil required equal amounts of geological skill, persuasive ability, dogged determination, and good luck. Although Texas cotton farmers and oil men regarded their futures as blessed or danmed by their own hands and lands, their fate depended upon the actions of foreign governments and of their neighbors in other states; in 1931 no fann field or oil patch could remain insulated from external economic factors. The collapse of both cotton and oil prices forced Governor Sterling to alter his philosophy regarding the relationship between government and private enterprise to shore up the price of cotton and, quite possibly, to save the oil industry from ruin. Ross Sterling's background made it difficult for him to impose state government controls upon farmers and businessmen. Born in 1875 to a rural merchant near Anahuac, Texas, Sterling quit school at the age of thirteen and ten years later built his first country store. By 1904 Sterling operated stores in the oil field boomtowns of Batson, Saratoga, Sour Lake, and Humble. Oilmen needed feed for mules and horses; Sterling accumulated both feed contracts and friends in the oil patch. In 1907 Sterling closed his store in Batson and bought fOUf small state banks from a panic-distressed Fort Worth lawyer, integrating them into his Humble. Saratoga, and Sour Lake operations. From these small, diversified enterprises Sterling began to amass his fortune. 2 In 1911, Sterling and several friends founded the Humble Oil Company. The initial partners included Sterling, Joe Fincher, Clint Wood, and C. D. Goddard. Humble proved so profitable that Sterling sold his store and bank holdings to concentrate on the oil company. Through skillful geological exploration and shrewd bargaining with Gulf Oil Company, primary lease owner in the Goose Creek oil field, Sterling secured his company's position. Goose Creek, condemned by Gulf as only marginally productive, made Humble a major Texas oil producer. In 1917 the Humble Oil Company Page S.

    “The Pentecostalization of Global Christianity” The Challenge of Cessationism in the 21st Century Signs & Wonders Seminar - East Africa Baptist School of Theology Nairobi, Kenya * 18, July 2015 Jeff Straub, Ph.D. These lectures were originally given at Central Baptist Seminary in Minneapolis, MN in 2015 by Dr. Jeff Straub. This manuscript is still in development, and should not be considered polished and final. Do not duplicate this without permission. Lecture One 19TH CENTURY ANTECEDENTS TO 20TH CENTURY PENTECOSTALISM INTRODUCTION Today we are here to talk about the face of global Christianity. According to a Pew Charitable Trust study released in 2011, based on data gathered the previous year, it was estimated that the global Christian population stood at 2.18 billion people of an estimated world population of 6.9 billion. These numbers were further divided into a split of just over 50% identified as Roman Catholic, with 36.7% claiming to be Protestants, another 11.9% listed as Orthodox, leaving 1.3% to be described as “other Christians,” including Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses. The purpose of our deliberations today is not to quibble over what is and is not a Christian. We accept that the only proper definition of a “Christian,” is one who has accepted by faith the Gospel of Jesus Christ and is striving to walk in a manner commensurate with the Word of God. Nevertheless, there are many in the world today that consider themselves Christians by one definition or another and the Pew study factors in the broadest range of those individuals for the purpose of analyzing the global phenomena known as Christianity.1 According to Pew’s figures, in the past 100 years the global Christian population has increased from 600 million in 1910 out of a possible world population estimated at 1.8 billion to the current levels.

The collection includes a significant number of hymnals from various denominations. The former University of Richmond music and American studies professor is now a professor of religious studies at the University of South Carolina. He earned a music degree from Hampton University and completed graduate work in music composition as well as theology at Washington University and Duke Divinity School.

As well, VUU has a School of Theology and Spencer has published extensively in the area of religion. Finally, his architect father, John H. Spencer, participated in the design of the Wilder library. It is in the elder Spencer’s name that Dr. Spencer has donated his collections. The books are housed in the library’s closed collections.

  • Creating Sustainable Foundations for Rhizomes of Mexican American Art Since 1848 Karen Mary Davalos (UMN) and Constance Cortez (UTRGV)
    1 Creating Sustainable Foundations for Rhizomes of Mexican American Art Since 1848 Karen Mary Davalos (UMN) and Constance Cortez (UTRGV) Introduction With the signing of the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo (1848), some 80,000 residents living in the former Mexican territories became United States citizens. Over the subsequent 173 years, Mexican American artists created a rich array of artistic forms that include murals, wooden sculptures, cut-paper art, installations and new media. Given the geopolitical context within which the artists work, Mexican American art aligns with categories, genres, styles, and practices outlined by canonic American art history. Nevertheless, this affinity is not without paradox. While uncompromisingly voicing American identity, Mexican American art and artists simultaneously continue to lay claim to influences from Spain, Mexico, and the indigenous populations of North America. Additionally, Mexican American art encompasses the pre- modern, modern, and postmodern eras and engages in a visual and ideological play of cultures. For instance, the santeros (sculptors and painters of religious art) of New Mexico employ the style and techniques of the Spanish colonial period in their renderings of saints while appropriating imagery relevant to the present. Meanwhile, conceptual artists forgo the universal to Luis Tapia, Northern New Mexico Woody (Peñasco advocate political declarations, while Truck), 2002.

Photo © Dan visually impacted by 500 years of sacred Morse. representation and tradition. In this simultaneous recognition of past and present, Mexican American artists both critique and expand traditional definitions of American art and, by extension, what it means to be “American.” It is unfortunate that this innovative use of combined traditions has frequently been met with misunderstanding that, in turn, has led to invisibility.
