Kids today have no shortage of heroes. From Hollywood celebrities to music artists and sports figures, it would seem that there are plenty of heroes to go around. The heroes being offered by popular culture are teaching children that physical perfection, financial success, and fame are the most important goals in life. The morals and values presented by these heroes are often in direct opposition to the standards parents want to pass on to their children. So, while there is no shortage of heroes, there is a dreadful shortage of heroes worth emulating.

  • Soprano Cornet
    SOPRANO CORNET: THE HIDDEN GEM OF THE TRUMPET FAMILY by YANBIN CHEN (Under the Direction of Brandon Craswell) ABSTRACT The E-flat soprano cornet has served an indispensable role in the British brass band; it is commonly considered to be “the hottest seat in the band.”1 Compared to its popularity in Britain and Europe, the soprano cornet is not as familiar to players in North America or other parts of world. This document aims to offer young players who are interested in playing the soprano cornet in a brass band a more complete view of the instrument through the research of its historical roots, its artistic role in the brass band, important solo repertoire, famous players, approach to the instrument, and equipment choices. The existing written material regarding the soprano cornet is relatively limited in comparison to other instruments in the trumpet family. Research for this document largely relies on established online resources, as well as journals, books about the history of the brass band, and questionnaires completed by famous soprano cornet players, prestigious brass band conductors, and composers. 1 Joseph Parisi, Personal Communication, Email with Yanbin Chen, April 15, 2019. In light of the increased interest in the brass band in North America, especially at the collegiate level, I hope this project will encourage more players to appreciate and experience this hidden gem of the trumpet family.

Jackson The history of The Salvation Army is incredibly rich. Those who spend time researching and writing it are keenly aware of this truth. Those who choose to read books, articles and thoughtful studies on The Salvation Army’s past come to understand the depth and importance of the subject. The history of this organization maintains a uniqueness that separates this movement from oth- er religious organizations, churches and nonprofits. We are similar in some respects, but our uniqueness is what tells the story that most readers of our past want to know and profit from. Just prior to the release of Maud, Emma, Evangeline: America’s Love Affair with the 3 Booth Women, I spent several hours interviewing Dr. R. Gordon Moyles for a promotional video about the book. I was taken by Moyles’ pas- sion for the subject of his latest work, and his lifelong study of The Salvation Army.

    GENERAL Of THE SALVATION ARMY William Booth, THE GENERAL OF THE SALVATION ARMY. BY COMMANDER BOOTH TUCKER. [COPYRIGHT.] PRICE, 10 CENTS. NEW YORK : THE SALVATION ARMY PRINTING AND PUBLISHING HOUSE, 122 WEST FOURTEENTH STREET. Entered according to Act of Congress in the year 1898 by Frederick de Lautour Booth-Tucker, in the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D.C. In erclx. n, of 0. Pub .IJb, INTRODUCTION. " Some men," it has been said, " are born great, others achieve greatness, while others have greatness thrust upon them." General Booth belongs to those who have, in the teeth of adverse circumstances, " achieved greatness." He needs no introduction ; he requires no apology. Others may have a greater reputation within the borders of their own nation. We know of none in modern days* whose name, while still living, has become to such a degree a household word in every nation as a universal benefactor of mankind. Indeed, no nation can justly claim him as its own. He is the universal property of all. Wherever the poor man toils to earn his daily bread, wherever the submerged masses of the world send forth their piteous wail of heart- ache on God's air, wherever the sins and miseries of humanity have reached the utmost limits of endurance, the giant stride of this modern Apostle of Hope and Faith and Hard Work looms on the horizon, leaving footprints of'help and happiness behind. ~ Barriers that have heretofore seemed impervious to the advance alike of Science. ofPhilosophy and Statesmanship —fortresses of Vice and Crime,

  • Catherine Booth and Female Ministry
    Methodist History, 31:3 (April 1993) SETTLED VIEWS: CATHERINE BOOTH AND FEMALE MINISTRY ROGER J. GREEN Introduction The Christian church is coming to terms with the subject of women in ministry, looking yet again at the scriptures, reexamining church histot:Y and doctrine, and discovering that there is nothing but custom and prej­ udice which have prevented women from preaching the gospel. It is cer­ tainly possible that the argument for female ministry would not be as ad­ vanced as it is were it not for the writings of Catherine Booth dn this sub­ ject, as well as the witness of her own perso'rtal1Jlinistry and the ministry of thousands of women who followed her example in The Christian Mis­ sion and The Salvation Army. 1 This paper will examine Catherine Booth's views of female ministry which were developed within the context of her own life, thought, and ministry of preaching. Three important aspects will be demonstrated. First, her views of female ministry were the result of a gradual evolution in her own thought and experience. Her initial concerns were with the traditional prejudices against women having any equality with men -social, intellec­ tual, or spiritual. In due course, her thinking became more focused upon the specific issue of women's equality with men in the pulpit. Second, the issue of female ministry was so critical to Catherine Booth because she was convinced that this was biblically justified and mandated. She avidly defended her views from the Bible, and envisioned the use of women in ministry as an indispensable aspect of the stewardship of the gifts, talents, and abilities which God has graciously granted to both men and women in the church.
