  • Lesson 65 Young Disciples Curriculum Online
    Lesson 65 Young Disciples Curriculum Online Purpose - To learn about how The Disciples of Christ started - To learn about the Campbells - To learn about “Raccoon” Smith and Walter Scott - To learn about Barton Stone Materials - Handouts - Bibles Background Information Starting today we will learn the history of the Christian Church, Disciples of Christ and how it all began. Our church really had two beginnings. One led by Thomas and Alexander Campbell and the other by Barton Stone. We will study each and then find out how they merged and fit it all together. THE CAMPBELLS Thomas Campbell was a Presbyterian minister and schoolteacher in Ireland. The Presbyterian Church was kind of divided into five groups. Thomas Campbell was part of the Evangelical, New Light, Anti-Burgher, Secedar Presbyterians. (How would you like to tell that to people every time they asked you what church you go to.) That group was liberal and evangelical in comparison to the others that were very rigid in what they believed. In 1807 Thomas Campbell immigrated to American to establish a home so that his family could join him later. He brought with him his authority to be a minister in the Presbyterian Church, his Bible, and possibly a few books and personal belongings. For two years he was a circuit minister. This meant that he traveled around on horseback and gave communion to the people who lived in rural Pennsylvania. According to the rules of his church in Ireland he was only allowed to give the Lord’s Supper to those who were a part of the New Light, Anti-Burgher, Secedar Presbyterian church.

  • Some Thoughts on Quakers in Scotland During the Last Half Century
    'STANDS SCOTLAND WHERE IT DID?' SOME THOUGHTS ON QUAKERS IN SCOTLAND DURING THE LAST HALF CENTURY think I first heard the word Quaker from my father. It was in rather curious circumstances. I can have been only five or six years old, I but I have a very clear picture of him, jogging around the small parlour in the manse in Lochgelly in a sort of shuffle as he intoned the words (one could scarcely call it singing): Merrily danced the Quaker's wife, Merrily danced the Quaker. I had no idea of the significance of the words, and I do not know what they meant to my father. Only many years later was I to learn that the tune and the words were traditional and that Robert Burns, that great authority on the folk music of Scotland, had written to the tune what he thought was 'one of the finest songs I ever made in my life', but the wore s, the catchy tune and my father's enthusiasm stirred my youthful interest and I had an immediate and lasting impression of Quakers as happy joyful people. Then some two years later when I was beginning piano lessons with the church organist you can imagine my pleasure when I found in my Hemy's Tutor that one of my first practice pieces was 'Merrily danced the Quaker'. The first Quaker I met I came across perhaps five or six years later in the pages of Sir Walter Scott's novel, Redgauntlet. I would not have you think that I was reading the Waverley novels, complete and unabridged, when I was ten or twelve years old, even though I had a father and an uncle who were devoted admirers of the novelist.

  • The Talisman ======An Electronic Edition
    Sir Walter Scott: The Talisman ============================== an electronic edition version 1.1: 1996-05-24 For information on sources and transcription, see the notes at the end of this text file ---------------------------------------------------------------- <title page> THE TALISMAN A TALE OF THE CRUSADERS <introduction> INTRODUCTION TO THE TALISMAN. The ``Betrothed'' did not greatly please one or two friends, who thought that it did not well correspond to the general title of ``The Crusaders.'' They urged, therefore, that without direct allusion to the manners of the Eastern tribes, and to the romantic conflicts of the period, the title of a ``Tale of the Crusaders'' would resemble the play-bill which is said to have announced the tragedy of Hamlet, the character of the Prince of Denmark being left out. On the other hand, I felt the difficulty of giving a vivid picture of a part of the world with which I was almost totally unacquainted, unless by early recollections of the ``Arabian Nights' Entertainments;'' and not only did I labour under the incapacity of ignorance, in which, as far as regards Eastern manners, I was as thickly wrapped as an Egyptian in his fog; but my contemporaries were, many of them, as much enlightened upon the subject, as if they had been inhabitants of the favoured land of Goshen. The love of travelling had pervaded all ranks, and carried the subjects of Britain into all quarters of the world. Greece, so attractive by its remains of art, by its struggles for freedom against a Mahomedan tyrant, by its very name, where every fountain had its classical legend;---Palestine, endeared to the imagination by yet more sacred remembrances, had been of late surveyed by British eyes, and described by recent travellers.
