Quoted in the Philadelphia Democratic Press, Barker believed that theatre had a higher goal, "to keep alive the spirit of freedom; and to unite conflicting parties in a common love of liberty and devotedness to country".

J. Harris, p. 23. However, the LMS, having received a letter from the Quakers James Backhouse and George Washington Walker, detailing the specific nature of missionary work in the Australian colonies, acknowledged Threlkeld's "vigilance, activity and devotedness to the welfare of the Aboriginal race."J. Harris, p. 59; K. Clouten, p.

The purely spiritual side was not forgotten. Conferences, usually delivered by the prior, on this important part of the Christian and priestly life were given especially to the interns. For twenty years the ability of the administrator, or provisor, corresponded to the foreseeing devotedness of the founder. This stretch of time showed the effectiveness of the administrative measures which De Sorbon had adopted.

On the street, Oswald leads a handful of musicians whose devotedness towards him varies. Although the performance of the band showed some flaws, it mattered little to Oswald who simply carries on. Suddenly, the musicians decided to have a break inside the tavern, much to the rabbit's surprise. Oswald tries to follow them to that adult place, only to be pushed back out.

Such patient transportation services are usually jobs performed by assistant staff without a degree. On 10 October 2002, he received a reference letter, issued by the Oldenburg Clinic's Director of Nursing. Therein, she testifies to Högel's "circumspect, diligent and autonomous" work ethic, as well as to him having acted "prudently and in an objectively correct manner in critical situations". She also praises his "devotedness" and "cooperative conduct".

Boyce also gave speaking recitations, taught oratory, and wrote opinion pieces for newspapers. On divorce, she wrote, "It seems to me that there could be nothing more terrible, more barbarous, than for the law or any other institution to compel two people to live together all their lives who are utterly separated in mind and taste and devotedness." She was active in the Western Association of Writersand the Indiana Writers' Association.

This booklet had a major impact upon George Müller and other early members of the Plymouth Brethren, and through him on James Hudson Taylor (who soon after conversion attended the Kennington meeting where Edward Cronin was local) and many other significant Christian leaders. Groves put into personal practice the principles of Christian devotedness which he advocates in this booklet, and proved the possibility and blessing of accepting the teachings of the Lord literally.

He begins: > My favorite virtue, I confess, is chivalrous devotedness, > My favorite quality in man, the manful genius that can > With iron will and eye sublime, up to the heights of empire climb; > Although in woman, as I think, gentleness is perfection's pink This ubiquity was accompanied by a certain exasperation. In a novel of 1886, a character asks:Annie G. Savigny, A heart-song of to-day (disturbed by fire from the 'unruly member'), Toronto: Hunter Rose (1886), Chapter 31 (online at Project Gutenberg).

In September 1855, with the support of male colleagues such as Jermain Wesley Loguen and Frederick Douglass, Steward attempted to join the Convention of the Colored People of the State of New York held in Troy. However, she was turned away because of her gender. Later that same month, Steward addressed the Meeting of Colored Citizens in Rochester on the "rights and wrongs of her suffering people". Afterwards, she was highly praised by Frederick Douglass' paper for her "zeal, devotedness, high character, and ability" in speaking out in the name of enslaved women who could not advocate for themselves.

In 1825, Groves wrote a small booklet Christian Devotedness, expounding Jesus' teaching concerning stewardship of material possessions. He exhorted all Christians to live economically, trusting God to supply their needs, and devoting their income to the cause of the Gospel. This booklet had a major impact upon George Müller, and through him on James Hudson Taylor (who soon after conversion attended the Kennington meeting where Edward Cronin was local) and many other significant Christian leaders. Groves' early journals Journal of a Residence in Baghdad were edited by AJ Scott and published by J Nisbet, London in 1831 & 1832\.

His letters perhaps somewhat exaggerate the danger in which he lived, but there is no doubt that his authority was resisted and his overtures rejected. This was Taylor's golden opportunity to show the wise toleration he had earlier advocated, but the new bishop had nothing to offer the Presbyterian clergy but the alternative of submission to episcopal ordination and jurisdiction or deprivation. Consequently, at his first visitation, he declared thirty-six churches to be vacant; and repossession was secured on his orders. At the same time many of the gentry were apparently won over by his undoubted sincerity and devotedness as well as by his eloquence.

Richard Challoner, Memoirs of Missionary Priests, vol. 2 (Philadelphia, 1839) p. 142. He was condemned as a priest on the evidence of James Wadsworth, Thomas Mayhew or Mayo, and Thomas Gage.Richard Challoner, Memoirs of Missionary Priests, vol. 2 (Philadelphia, 1839) p. 143. The circumstances of his trial show Bell's devotedness to the cause of the Catholic faith and his willingness to suffer for the faith. When condemned to be hanged, drawn and quartered it is said that he broke forth into a solemn Te Deum and thanked his judges profusely for the favour they were conferring upon him in allowing him to die for Christ.

It was during her adolescence that some peasant farmers could no longer find work due to the introduction of mechanization in agriculture. But these troubles did not hinder her efforts to serve the poor for she carried milk and bread to them while she would also wash and mend their clothes or even give them new ones to use. Her devotedness to service of the poor led her to discover the Secular Franciscan Order which she became a professed member. Marguerite attended Mass on a frequent basis despite a 20 minute walk to the neighboring village of Siviriez and she took part in the Eucharistic Adoration session following the celebration of the Mass.

It was needful that the "Author of Waverley" should be met by a fitting antagonist, and this he soon found in the author of the life of John Knox. No two such other men could have been culled from the crowded ranks of British literature -— the one so completely the type of ancient feudalism and Episcopacy in grafted on modern Toryism, and the other of the sturdy independence of the good old Whiggamores, and the Presbyterian devotedness of Drumelog and the Grassmarket. Dr. M'Crie had also the greater right to step forward on this occasion. An elaborate review of "Old Mortality" was therefore written, and published in the first three numbers of the Christian Instructor for the year 1817.

This, indeed, is the secret of true pulpit eloquence; an eloquence M'Crie attained after his return from Orkney. The consequence was that his acceptability as a preacher increased, his congregation became more numerous, and a deeper spirit of earnestness was manifested in their general bearing and character. The same spirit of disinterested devotedness to his work was also evinced by Mr. M'Crie in trials which some may reckon equally hard to be withstood. Though his flock was numerous, it was chiefly from the humbler classes, so that his income was a small one; and in 1798, the price of provisions rose so high that families of limited means were reduced to near or outright poverty.

Writing in January 1849, Orson Spencer said to Orson Pratt that: > Amongst the worth of contributors to the Star, I shall not be deemed > invidious to name, distinctly and prominently, our highly esteemed brethren > Elders Lyon and Mills. Their genius in the poetic department and the > devotedness of their productions to the service of God and his people > deserve the fostering care of all the Saints who love the high praise of God > in sacred and commemorative songs. The excellent songs and hymns of our > poets preach with unmistakable melody and power. Of Lyon's many poems, 104 of them were collected in his book, The Harp of Zion, which was one of the first complete books of poetry by a Mormon writer, published in 1853.

Kathleen M. Blee, Women of the Klan: Racism and Gender in the 1920s (2008), p. 47. Joseph Simmons published the pamphlet ABC of the Invisible Empire in Atlanta in 1917; in it, he identified the Klan's goals as "to shield the sanctity of the home and the chastity of womanhood; to maintain white supremacy; to teach and faithfully inculcate a high spiritual philosophy through an exalted ritualism; and by a practical devotedness to conserve, protect and maintain the distinctive institutions, rights, privileges, principles and ideals of a pure Americanism". Such moral-sounding purpose underlay its appeal as a fraternal organization, recruiting members with a promise of aid for settling into the new urban societies of rapidly growing cities such as Dallas and Detroit.Kenneth Jackson, The Ku Klux Klan in the Cities During the 1930s, particularly after James A. Colescott of Indiana took over as imperial wizard, opposition to Communism became another primary aim of the Klan.

Thus in the novel about the Flemish Father Damien, he introduced his own deep sympathies and concerns about the then rather culturally oppressed Belgian Flemings, while at the same time showing how selfless devotedness, which Father Damien personified, transcended narrow national and racial borders. It was possible to interpret the novel in different ways: German and Flemish nationalists could take it as a support of Germanic Flemings against Romance Walloons, but the majority of other Europeans understood it as an affecting story about the unshakable love and patience of the Catholic missionary. Be that as it may, the novel was soon translated into numerous European and non-European languages, and also determined his writing orientation for the rest of his life: except several plays and short stories, the author almost entirely dedicated himself to the saints’ biographies. With his thirty biographical novels, Hünermann was one of the most prolific hagiographers of the 20th century.

Her portrait, figure and Brittany landscape paintings were exhibited in October 1849 at the Western Art Union Gallery. Also exhibited was a three panel set of Victorian London scenes entitled The Ladder of Love, which was described as "the lady, in her flowery 'May of Life,' awaits in her father's garden a stolen interview with her lover; in the second, she is seen eagerly caught in his impatient arms, ere he has yet left the ladder upon which he surmounted the garden wall; in the third, having received and given reveals of unfaltering love, she walks alone again – beautiful in the enrobing light of a summer moon, happy in the assurance that the warmth and devotedness of her affection is reciprocated." In 1851 four or more of her illustrations were included in the Historical Collections of the Great West by Henry Howe. She collaborated with Walter Anderson, her future husband, on portraits of Protestant Episcopal bishops and created other portraits in her business.

Speaking of him at the dedication of Kirkwood Hall on January 25, 1895, Isaac Jenkinson, then president of the Board of Trustees of the University, had this to say: "A man who has given his whole life's service to sustaining, perpetuating, and making useful the work of this University. He has labored with a zeal, and earnestness, and a devotedness which has brought him rich reward from the grateful hearts of hundreds of students, but which has left him poor indeed in other recompense." A former student and colleague of Wylie, Amzi Atwater, remembered thus: :“A student who should have met Doctor Wylie on the street on those days – a man of small stature and weak voice and half diffident, unworldly manner certainly far from self-confidence – would hardly have been able rightly to estimate him. In order to do so, he would need to visit him in his rare old home and see him in the midst of his most interesting family and accept their generous hospitality.
