Narcissa Prentiss was born to Judge Stephen and Clarrisa Prentiss in Prattsburgh, New York, on March 14, 1808. She was the third of nine children, and oldest of five girls. At a young age, she joined the Second Great Awakening, and decided it was her calling to become a missionary. She was accepted into the missionary service in March 1835, and was educated at the Franklin Acedemy in Prattsburgh. Shortly afterward, she was married to Dr. Marcus Whitman. She would later become a great missionary.

1. 140 years ago, in Maysville, South Carolina, Mary McLeod, a child of former slaves was born. Coming up from very simple beginnings, would later in life become a renowned educator and college founder, an advocate, for civil and human rights, and a valued advisor to several United States presidents? As a young girl toiling in the fields alongside of her parents, Ms. McLeod knew that education and knowledge would eventually open her eyes to the world outside of South Carolina. At the tender age of 10, Ms. McLeod, began her educational journey by entering Trinity Presbyterian Mission School, followed by Scotia Seminary in North Carolina, and Moody Bible Institute, in Chicago, Illinois. Ms. McLeod, at first wanted

In 1827, Phoebe married Walter Palmer, a homeopathic physician and devout Methodist. Together they grew an interest in John Wesley’s writings, the founder of Methodism. They were particularly interested in his doctrine of Christian perfection. In 1837, Phoebe experienced “entire sanctification,” and, soon after, her entire family experienced sanctification. After they all received “entire sanctification,” they decided to teach others how to be sanctified.

When she was nineteen years old, she met a lawyer named John Adams. He was a Harvard graduate pursuing a law career. They were married on October 25, 1761. She moved with him to Braintree. Three years later, the couple soon had their first child, a daughter named Abigail. Along with John Quincy, Susanna, Charles, and Thomas. But their daughter Susanna died as a toddler. They

Buffalo men, they called them, and talked slowly to the prisoners scooping mush and tapping away at their chains. Nobody from a box in Alfred, Georgia, cared about the illness the Cherokee warned them about, so they stayed, all forty-six, resting, planning their next move. Paul D had no idea of what to do and knew less than anybody, it seemed. He heard his co-convicts talk knowledgeably of rivers and states, towns and territories. Heard Cherokee men describe the beginning of the world and its end. Listened to tales of other Buffalo men they knew — three of whom were in the healthy camp a few miles away. Hi Man wanted to join them; others wanted to join him. Some wanted to leave; some to stay on. Weeks later Paul D was the only Buffalo

Mary Rowlandson’s memoir The Sovereignty and Goodness of God was indeed a compelling, thorough and praise worthy piece of literature. Rowlandson, not only recollected a chapter of her life, she delivered a solid visual of the circumstances during Metacom’s War. Rowlandson being a minister’s wife, a Puritan and pious women, gives us her journey with the Indians. Without any hesitation she narrates the journey she experienced and in the following essay, I will be discussing portions of her journey, and the significance of religion in her life.

I have been a firm believer that if one does not understand where you come from you can have little understanding of where your heading. The first thirty-two pages of the book on “Methodism and the Christian Heritage in England” gave a background as to Wesley’s foundation that so many authors overlook. The first page summed it up best in: “The long course of English ecclesiastical history met the force of a new concern for renewal, both individual and institutional. A long tradition of propositional certainty of faith met the power of a personal experience of faith. An institution built by and for the establishment met a concern for the souls and bodies of the disenfranchised” (p.1, Heitzenrater). This explained the transformation of

Caedmon’s Hymn is a beautifully crafted poem that Caedmon received through a dream. This hymn describes, in my opinion how lucky man is to have such and awesome and gracious creator. It describes God in many different ways such as Lord Almighty or Guardian of Mankind. The second line of the poem calls God’s creation “the might of his architect” which refers to how perfect and suitable God made the world, which showed an obvious trait of love and care for His creation. The poem says in the fourth line how amazing God was and claims that he “established the beginning of wonders”. In the fifth line he describes God’s creation as a “roof for the children of men” most likely referring to the fact that we are sinners not worthy of love, but God

This is showing that even though they have had some very disgraceful actions happen that their culture is not as corrupted as the white men. This shows that the natives actually have morals, and that that even when the white men had betrayed them and had ruined an important religious ceremony that they can forgive them.

During the course of her three years of being a student at the Judson University, there is one aspect that Ms. Sams continues to learn on her understanding of developing a Christian worldview. In particular, the one aspect that Ms. Sams continues to build upon her

John Wesley studied at the University of Oxford where he proved to be quite the scholar. Nearer to the end of Wesley’s studies at university, he became a member of a society which was founded by his brother Charles, mockingly called “the Holy Club”. The Holy Club’s members swore to lead reverent lives, say their daily prayers and take communion once a week.

Many children learn through songs and chants in the younger years. As you walk passed kindergarten classes you will hear the students singing their ABCs or songs about different colors and so on. Music is a great way to learn new facts and bits of information. My daughter who is now in third grade often still sing a song about how to spell purple that she learned in kindergarten and because she has sung it so often everyone in the family can now sing it from memory. Your voice is one of our greatest musical instruments we can utilize. Song and music are a huge teaching asset that need to be utilized and used more often. The song listed about would be a great activity to teach students how to learn how to add and subtract fraction (Misterksing, 2011). Kids tend to remember things that are put to a catchy tune. By teaching students this song about adding and subtracting fractions will help them remember how to do preform it. As the students start to master the song I will give them a cymbal or tambourine or other simple musical instrument to play with the song and express how they feel. By combining the two activities of learning how to add and subtract fractions with the song and instruments it teaches them music can also help you learn math or another subject.
