G . STAHL . ALL RIGHTS RESERVED . 6 0127 159. PREFACE . Thomas DeWitt Talmage , preacher and man , was eloquent in deed and speech . For seventy years he lived , and his life was to great purpose . Reared as a sturdy farmer ' s boy in the heart of New Jersey , God ' s sunshine was ever upon his head and in his heart . Educated for the legal profession , he ceased to follow Blackstone that he might scatter the gospels to all the peoples of the world . Far greater was his success than he or anyone else anticipated . But it came not without the struggles that come to all . From an unknown preacher , he rose to the distinction of the foremost pulpit orator of the world . Revivifying a Brooklyn church that was in its death - throes , he drew within the sound of his voice countless thou sands . Church after church he built , that all who cared might hear . Dr . Talmage ' s greatness , it is generally conceded , can be ascribed to his power as an orator . Coupled with this he had the talent of sim ple and trenchant interpretation of the scriptures . He was a Christian of the old school , if that expression may be employed . He did not run Reclars 5 - 9 . 36 gan much to new thought , higher criticism or creed reform . He clung tenaciously to a plain , pure programme of every - day morals and right living . He found enough noble texts in the Bible to supply him with inspiration . He was a magnificent lecturer . Some of his flights of oratory are remembered as being of surpassing impressiveness and picturesque ness . He drew lessons from everything . He talked to a purpose , but at the same time he garnished his sentences with beauty , and his voice , appearance and fire combined to enthrall and uplift the hearer . Bounded not by church walls nor the confines of any nation , his 274196 PREFACE congregation became as wide as the knowledge of printing . His ser mons , distributed in every hamlet of America by the religious and secular press , were spread broadcast in England and , translated into many languages , were read in every land . Thrilling multitudes as a lecturer , he traveled throughout his native land and made a triumphal tour CI around the world . Everywhere he waswas heaped with honors and attentions . Ministering with all his strength to the famine - stricken people of another land , he won the praise of humanity and throughout the length and breadth of the world was a living influence for God and the right .

  • THE COLLECTED POEMS of HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam
    1 THE COLLECTED POEMS OF HENRIK IBSEN Translated by John Northam 2 PREFACE With the exception of a relatively small number of pieces, Ibsen’s copious output as a poet has been little regarded, even in Norway. The English-reading public has been denied access to the whole corpus. That is regrettable, because in it can be traced interesting developments, in style, material and ideas related to the later prose works, and there are several poems, witty, moving, thought provoking, that are attractive in their own right. The earliest poems, written in Grimstad, where Ibsen worked as an assistant to the local apothecary, are what one would expect of a novice. Resignation, Doubt and Hope, Moonlight Voyage on the Sea are, as their titles suggest, exercises in the conventional, introverted melancholy of the unrecognised young poet. Moonlight Mood, To the Star express a yearning for the typically ethereal, unattainable beloved. In The Giant Oak and To Hungary Ibsen exhorts Norway and Hungary to resist the actual and immediate threat of Prussian aggression, but does so in the entirely conventional imagery of the heroic Viking past. From early on, however, signs begin to appear of a more personal and immediate engagement with real life. There is, for instance, a telling juxtaposition of two poems, each of them inspired by a female visitation. It is Over is undeviatingly an exercise in romantic glamour: the poet, wandering by moonlight mid the ruins of a great palace, is visited by the wraith of the noble lady once its occupant; whereupon the ruins are restored to their old splendour.

    Time’s the Revelator: Revival and Resurgence in Alt.country and Modern Old-Time American Music Ashley Denise Melzer A thesis submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in the Department of American Studies (Folklore). Chapel Hill 2009 Approved by: Dr. William Ferris Dr. Robert Cantwell Dr. Patricia Sawin © 2009 Ashley Denise Melzer ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT ASHLEY MELZER: Time’s the Revelator: Revival and Resurgence in Alt.country and Modern Old-Time American Music (Under the directions of Dr. William Ferris, Dr. Robert Cantwell, and Dr. Patricia Sawin) This thesis investigates the relationship between the modern old-time and alt.country movements through the comparison of four different female musicians: Abigail Washburn, Rayna Gellert, Gillian Welch, and Neko Case. These four women often pull from the same wellspring of old-time songs/structures/sounds, but their instincts come from exceptionally different places. The disparity between the ways they approach their music, reveals how the push toward modern capitalist industrialism has affected how different artists and communities access and transmit those old-world icons and sounds. Furthermore, their engagement specifically with the topic of gender exposes key tactical differences. Old-time musicians, Washburn and Gellert, work within the strictures of tradition so as to remain in dialogue with their community. Welch and Case play into the experimental bent of alt.country to emotionally affect listeners in order to create discreet, personal connections between themselves and their audience. iii To the ones who listen and love me anyway iv PREFACE In the summer, Florida is so hot the home becomes some dark prison of necessary air conditioning.

The first five apartments to be occupied were a duplex, located close to the site of the former Diablo mess hall, and three cottages nearby. One of these is a revised version of the Breezeway type, another is a type 327, which has two bedrooms, and the third is a type 331, with three. Notices were sent October 28 to the four families to whom these houses were assigned, asking that they occupy their new quarters not later than November 8. A second group of the Diablo houses is to be turned over to the Housing Division soon and these will probably be occupied by November 15.
