The Pledge: One Nation Under God $14.99 “William J. Murray, son of famed atheist, Madalyn Murray O’Hair, contends in his latest book, The Pledge: One Nation Under God, that atheistic forces, spearheaded by the ACLU and Michael Newdow, are engaging in a religious cleansing of American society. These forces seek to replace faith in God with an atheistic, secularist, and heartless philosophy that has no respect for the belief that the human race is God’s creation. Murray outlines the history of early-American settlers and their overall reliance upon God in every phase of life. He continues to trace today’s secular progression of American society and insists that war is being waged not only for religious freedom, but also for freedom itself. The protection of the “Pledge of Allegianceâ€? and the phrase “under Godâ€? is just one battle in this overall war. Michael Newdow’s legal case to remove “under Godâ€? from the pledge will go back to the Ninth Circuit Court in spring 2007 and almost inevitably will resurface in the U.S. Supreme Court.> The “Pledge of Allegianceâ€? was first published in 1892 and was widely recited in schools soon thereafter. It has been amended several times, and the most recent revision came in 1954 with the addition of the phrase “under Godâ€? following the words “one nation.â€? This addition grew out of a desire to include a reference to Deity in keeping with the beliefs of America’s founding fathers. The phrase “under Godâ€? was aptly chosen because Abraham Lincoln reportedly used the expression, “this Nation under God,â€? in his immortal “Gettysburg Address.â€? For several decades, students in public schools all over America have recited the pledge with the words “under God.â€? Now those words are under legal attack.>>>About the Author>>William J. Murray is chairman of the Religious Freedom Coalition in Washington, DC. For more than two decades, Murray has been at the forefront of social conservatism. During the early 1980s he served as director of Freedom’s Friends, an organization that reached out to the victims of communism worldwide. In the 1990s he founded the first commercial Bible publishing company in the Soviet Union. For many years his organizations conducted evangelistic tours inside the Soviet Union.> From his office in Washington, DC, William continues to work for the rights of Christians in America and persecuted Christians around the world. He has led the Religious Freedom Coalition’s campaign to preserve “under Godâ€? in the Pledge of Allegiance and to preserve the Christian heritage of our nation.> He also works to assist Palestinian Christian families and supports Christian schools in Samaria (the West Bank). Murray has participated in fact-finding missions, taking him to the Sudan, Darfur, Kosovo, Serbia, China, and the Middle East.> William has appeared on ABC, CBS, FOX, MSNBC, and NBC news programs. He is a regular guest on numerous radio talk shows.” |

It was set to music after 1770, in the form of the song Drink to Me Only with Thine Eyes , the poem’s first line. The poem is a subtly-coded celebration of the act of cunnilingus , and is based upon an erotic literary letter by Philostratus .The Poem Drink to me only with thine eyesAnd I will pledge with mine. Or leave a kiss but in the cupAnd I’ll not look for wine.The thirst that from the soul doth riseDoth ask a drink divine;But might I of Jove’s nectar sup,I would not change for thine.I sent thee late a rosy wreath,Not so much hon’ring thee As giving it a hope that thereIt could not withered be;But thou thereon did’st only breathe,And sent’st it back to me,Since when it grows and smells, I swearNot of itself, but thee.A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at … |

The Catechumens—Progress of Infant Baptism—Delay of Baptism— Gregory Nazienzen—Chrysostom—Basil—Ephrem of Edessa—The Emperor Constantine—Immersion still the Mode. THE statements made in former sections are abundantly confirmed by impartial divines and historians. One of the most learned men of the present day, the Chevalier Bunsen, formerly Prussian Ambassador in England, writes thus in his work entitled, ” Christianity and Mankind.” ” The Apostolical Church made the school the connecting link between herself and the world. The object of this education was admission into the free society and brotherhood of the Christian community. The Church adhered rigidly to the principle as constituting the true purport of the baptism ordained by Christ, that no one can be a member of the communion of saints, but by his own free act and deed, his own solemn vow made in presence of the Church. It was with this understanding that the candidate for baptism was immersed in water, and admitted as a brother upon his confession of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost. It is understood, therefore, in the exact sense (1 Pet. iii. 21), not as being a mere bodily purification, but as a vow made to God with a good conscience through faith in Jesus Christ. This vow was preceded by a confession of Christian faith made in the face of the Church, in which the catechumen expressed that faith in Christ,and in the sufficiency of the salvation offered by Him. It was a vow to live for the time to come to God and for his neighbour, not to the world and for self; a vow of faith in his becoming a child of God, through the communion of his only-begotten Son, in the Holy Ghost; a vow of the most solemn kind, for life and for death.

Excerpt: Florence Nightingale, OM, RRC (pronounced , historically ; 12 May 1820 13 August 1910) was an English nurse, writer and statistician. She came to prominence during the Crimean War for her pioneering work in nursing, and was dubbed “The Lady with the Lamp” after her habit of making rounds at night to tend injured soldiers. Nightingale laid the foundation of professional nursing with the establishment, in 1860, of her nursing school at St Thomas’ Hospital in London, the first secular nursing school in the world. The Nightingale Pledge taken by new nurses was named in her honour, and the annual International Nurses Day is celebrated around the world on her birthday. Embley Park, now a school, was the family home of Florence NightingaleFlorence Nightingale was born into a rich, upper-class, well-connected British family at the Villa Colombaia, near the Porta Romana at Bellosguardo in Florence, Italy, and was named after the city of her birth. Florence’s older sister Parthenope (pronounced ) had similarly been named after her place of birth, a Greek settlement now part of the city of Naples. Her parents were William Edward Nightingale (17941874) and Frances (“Fanny”) Nightingale née Smith (17891880). William Nightingale was born William Edward Shore. His mother Mary née Evans was the niece of one Peter Nightingale, under the terms of whose will William Shore not only inherited his estate Lea Hurst in Derbyshire, but also assum… |

Foregone Verses $11.65 Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free.This is an OCR edition with typos.Excerpt from book:The “tees” shall be the sort from which One drives two hundred yards, at least, While over hurdle, bunker, ditch The balls shall rise as tho’ of yeast; The niblicks, mashies and the cleeks Shall never miss or make a slip, While only he who Scottish speaks Shall have a card of membership. Here on this field of perfect strokes I’ll play a winning game with all Who beat me when on earth, the folks Who think I cannot hit the ball. And best of all, the games between, When o’er my nectar I am heard My triumphs to recount, I ween, There’ll not be one to doubt my word. A BALLADE OF GIRLS. Who would not pause to drink a toast, To pledge the health of maidens fair, While thinking still of her who most Excells in wit and beauty rare? Who would not thus one moment spare For love’s devoir, while onward whirls The world with all its sordid care?— A health, I say, to lovely girls! What man of us is too engrossed, Too busied with the world’s affair, An instant to desert his post And drink to damsels debonair? Nor need he fear lest he forswear Himself in pledging flaxen curls, If she he loves have raven hair— A health, I say, to lovely girls 1 And so this glass to beauty’s host! A pledge in which we all may share— ‘Tis only thus that we may boast The smiles of her without compare, The one for whom we each would dare And die the death amid the swirls Of cannon’s smoke and battle’s flare— A health, I say, to lovely girls! L’Envoi. Let lovers join us everywhere— We have no part with carping churls Who laugh to scorn love’s sweetest snare— A health, a health to lovely girls! THE RAVING “The Woman’s Christian Temperance Union of Pittsburg have decided to investigate the charge that President Roosevelt receive… |

Out of the Darkness of Conflict, Intolerance, and Strife: Breaking Through the Rigid Systems of Human Separation and Starting over Afresh $14.24 The story told in this book is a modern morality tale that addresses religious intolerance epitomized by the conflict between Christianity and Islam. This conflict has been going on intermittently since the first crusade at the end of the 11th century, but has become uppermost in our minds ever since the tragic events of September 11, the subsequent wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, and the many terrorist attacks around the world. History is quite clear as to the bellicose aspects of both Christianity and Islam, and we may be experiencing a prolonged flare-up of strife between these arch-enemies. Against the background of these troubled times, the two characters in the story, a Muslim woman and a Christian man, take time out to explore the root cause of this millennium-old strife, and why they as children of the same Creator belong to belief systems that articulate worldviews, which are bitterly opposed to each other. They pledge, at least for their part, not to recycle this age-old bitterness that neither Christianity nor Islam seems to be capable of resolving. They explore the foundations of their respective belief systems, project themselves outside the Islamic and Christian boxes that they have been packaged in so as to see their lives more objectively, and conclude that they need to travel a different road if they are to contribute to building a world that is a fitting habitat for all of the Creator’s children. |
