The church grew rapidly in Korea, so a separate Korean mission was made, as it had previously been included in the Japan Mission. The number of missionaries grew from 82 to 179.

From 9000 BCE to 300 BCE (the Archaic Period), the humans who inhabited the region moved between the coast and the valley as well as the Andes. At sites such as Pichilemu, Cáhuil and Bucalemu, they left trash deposits or shell middens bearing testimony to their raids . During the Agroalfarero Period (300 BCE - 1470 CE), the inhabitants experienced changes in their way of life, the most important being the cultivation of vegetables and the manufacture of clay objects. From 600 CE onwards, they started cultivating beans, maize, squashes, pumpkins and quinoa.

The proto-urban site of Sarazm was inscribed on the World Heritage List in July 2010 as "an archaeological site bearing testimony to the development of human settlements in Central Asia, from the 4th millennium BCE to the end of the 3rd millennium BC". It is the first World Heritage Site in Tajikistan. To protect the archaeological site, some areas have been covered by a metal roof while others have been reburied under soil. With the help of local people and the CRATerre research institute, a protecting coating of rice husk and stabilised earth has been designed to cover fragile previously uncovered areas.

On a more positive note, Leeds went on a brilliant FA Cup run they beat Norwich City, Birmingham City, Manchester City and Wolves to reach the semi finals, where they were drawn with Manchester United. They conceded two early goals at Hillsborough and even after Allan Clarke pulled a goal back, Leeds could not recover. There was an inconsolable feeling about the club as the season drew to a close. The crowd of 16,891 who watched Leeds draw 1–1 with West Ham United on 26 April at Elland Road was the lowest since the club's return to the First Division, bearing testimony to the depression felt by the Leeds fans.

Prem Kumar and student chairman Ranganathan often clash with each other, both seeking the hand of Ganga. Prem really loves Ganga despite her hatred for him following his unethical approaches and humiliations; he engineers to ridicule the Ranga-Ganga love, which queers the pitch in the former's home. Ranga and Ganga learn through Prem's father of the affliction that is taking Prem to the doorsteps of death and request them to be kind with him, which brings Ganga closer to Prem, making her see the other side of the ruffian who has been doting on her a series of his paintings of her bearing testimony to that. Ganga is swayed by these developments and is unable to decide which one loves her more, the sympathy aspect also playing a part.

Their children are educated in the fear of God; their women are chaste; the Jews are hospitable toward one another, perform works of charity, and redeem captives—all virtues which are not found in such a high degree among non-Jews. The apostate admits all these claims, but points out that Jews demand high interest on loans. This objection the loyal Jew meets with the statement that non-Jews also are usurers, and that they impose upon members of their own faith, while rich Jews lend money to their coreligionists without any interest whatever. The "Sefer ha-Berit" is of importance as showing the moral condition of the Jews at that time, and as bearing testimony to the conditions of those days, in which the Jews in the Provence could freely express themselves not only with regard to their own religion, but also with regard to the religion of their neighbors.

Many works of extraordinary artists are preserved in the cathedral, bearing testimony to the creative genius of architects and sculptors of the Colonia family (Juan, Simón and Francisco), the architect Juan de Vallejo, sculptors Gil de Siloé, Felipe Bigarny, Rodrigo de la Haya, Martín de la Haya, Juan de Ancheta and Juan Pascual de Mena, the sculptor and architect Diego de Siloé, the fencer Cristóbal de Andino, the glazier Arnao de Flandes and the painters Alonso de Sedano, Mateo Cerezo, Sebastiano del Piombo or Juan Ricci, among others. The design of the main facade is related to the purest French Gothic style such as found in the contemporary great cathedrals of Paris and Reims, while the interior elevation refers to Bourges Cathedral. The facade consists of three stories topped by two lateral square bell towers. The spires, showing Germanic influence, were added in the 15th century by Juan de Colonia.

The Boston council declared on 11 July 1656, the day of their arrival that: > "there are several laws long since made and published in this jurisdiction > bearing testimony against heretics and erroneous persons," and that Ann > Austin and Mary Fisher, "upon examination are found not only to be > transgressors of the former laws, but to hold very dangerous, heretical, and > blasphemous opinions; and they do also acknowledge that they came here > purposely to propagate their said errors and heresies, bringing with them > and spreading here sundry books, wherein are contained most corrupt, > heretical, and blasphemous doctrines contrary to the truth of the gospel > here professed amongst us." On her return from Boston, Ann Austin's ministry continued until her death in prison during the Great Plague of London in 1665. She was buried in the Quaker Burying Ground, Bunhill Fields, London's first Quaker burial ground. It has also been speculated that Austin may have settled, as did Mary Fisher, among the Quakers of South Carolina in the 1680s.

A description of the valley by Robert Etheridge in 1889 reads: > Mounts Ledgbird [sic] and Gower are separated by Erskine Valley, or the > "Between Hills", a deep and wide depression, running down to the south- west > coast. Its descent is very rapid and steep, with more or less permanent > water, the sides of the valley being everywhere covered with boulders and > volcanic débris, interspersed amongst the densest possible vegetation. The > saddle at the head of this declivity, forming the connecting neck between > the two hills, is very narrow, probably not more than twenty to thirty > yards, covered with large boulders, and supporting a low, stunted vegetation > and much under-growth, bearing testimony in the twisted and gnarled > condition of the trees to the heavy squalls amid gales which pass across it, > and of which we had a vivid personal experience during the night we were > camped in this otherwise charming spot. Erskine Valley acts, in fact, as a > kind of funnel, and reminded me much of the deep, long gulches with which > the Island of St. Helena is cut up.
