# Henry Croxford

Henry Croxford (14 June 1845 – 15 December 1892) was an English professional cricketer who played for Kent County Cricket Club during the 19th century. He was born at Hadlow in Kent in 1845, the son of William and Sophia Croxford (née Wickings). His father was a boot maker.
After playing for Kent Colts sides as early as 1865, Croxford made his first-class cricket debut for Kent against Surrey at The Oval in the final game of the 1869 season. He played eight times for the county in 1870, although his performances were not judged successful―he scored only 80 runs at a batting average of just over six runs per innings, He took only two wickets at a bowling average of 77 runs per wicket. He did not play for the side the following season, and appeared only once in 1872 again at The Oval against Surrey in the final match of the season. Six wickets in the first Surrey innings and a score of 53 runs, the highest of the match and the only half-century of his top-level career, led to Wisden saying "how unmeritedly he had been shut out of the county eleven".
The following season he played in all six of the county's matches and was the side's second leading wicket taker, with 16 wickets at an average of 15.87, and the second highest run scorer with 164 runs. He took another six wickets against Surrey and had a highest score of 38 runs and batted with Ned Willsher at Gravesend to steer Kent to victory in a tight match against Lancashire At the time Kent's side was considered quite weak and the selection policy of preferring amateur gentlemen cricketers over professionals such as Croxford did not help this, and at the same time hindered Croxford's opportunities in the county XI. As a result, Croxford played only nine more times for the county―twice in 1874, four times in 1876 and five times out of 12 Kent matches in 1877. A roundarm bowler, he was given the opportunity to bowl only rarely during this period, with George Hearne becoming the mainstay of Kent's bowling at the time.
In total Croxford played 27 first-class matches, all for Kent. He made 472 runs and took 33 wickets. He was employed as a professional cricketer throughout the early 1870s, with stints at Faversham, Tonbridge School, Prince's Club, Cheltenham College, Sevenoaks Vine, Royal Military College Sandhurst, Trinity College, Cambridge and Merton College, Oxford. He later became a publican, running The Crown and Anchor at Preston-next-Faversham and The St Ann's in Faversham. He married Eliza Martin in 1878; the couple had six children.
Croxford died at Faversham in 1892 aged 47.
# Mecisteus (son of Talaus)

In Greek mythology, Mecisteus (/məˈsɪsˌt(j)uːs/; Ancient Greek: Μηκιστεύς Mēkisteús) was the son of Talaus and Lysimache. He was the father of Euryalus by Astyoche.

## Mythology

Mecisteus participated in the attack on the city of Thebes with the Seven against Thebes, along with his brother Adrastus. In Aeschylus' tragedy Seven Against Thebes, Mecisteus is not among the seven champions who attack the seven gates of Thebes. The Bibliotheca, however, gives one version of the legend in which he replaces Tydeus as one of the seven. Herodotus also writes that he was one of the attackers, although whether one of the seven champions or simply another leader is not made clear. In the Iliad, Mecisteus attends the funeral games of Oedipus at Thebes, and wins all the boxing matches.

# Phygelius aequalis

Phygelius aequalis is a species of flowering plant in the family Scrophulariaceae, native to South Africa. It is a semi-evergreen shrub growing to 1 m (3 ft) tall and wide, with 25 cm (10 in) long panicles of pink flowers with crimson lobes and yellow throats. This species may be distinguished from the closely related Phygelius capensis by the fact that the flowers grow in a single plane along one side of the stem. The narrowly tubular flowers are up to 6 cm (2 in) in length.
The common names Cape fuchsia and Cape figwort attach to both P. aequalis and P. capensis, though they are not closely related to the true fuchsias, and "figwort" refers to several plants other than phygelius.
Phygelius aequalis is valued as a garden plant with a particularly long flowering season throughout summer. Though a shrub, in cooler areas it grows as a perennial. It requires some winter protection. The cultivars 'Trewidden Pink' and 'Yellow Trumpet' have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

Walton-on-the-Hill also features St Thomas Church which was finished and dedicated to St Thomas the Apostle as a chapel of ease in 1842. Although St Thomas’ Church did not have an easy beginning. In 1845 the spire was struck by lightning and part of it destroyed. Windows and part of the roof were damaged. Repairs were completed in 1887 but by 1903, it was considered unsafe. The lead roof was replaced with a lighter one and the heavy weathercock was removed and a less weighty one put in its place The total cost of repairs was £175.
Also, on Walton-on-the-Hill there is a pump Halfway between London and Holyhead, the village pump was used to water the mail coach horses as well as providing water for the village until mains water was introduced in the early 1900s. In 1983, when only the top of the pump was visible, residents removed tons of earth and revealed a stone trough. The site, which has been restored, provides a focal point of historical interest for the village. A timber-framed brick-clad building, originally known as Manor Farm, Congreve House was named after Thomas Congreve (1714-1777). His son, Sir William Congreve, 2nd Baronet, invented the Congreve Rocket. Congreve rockets, being made of iron, were stronger than others available in Europe at this time. The rockets were used effectively during the Napoleonic War and the war against the U.S. in 1814.4. The use of the rocket inspired the composition of The Star-Spangled Banner, adopted as the national anthem of the USA

## Critical reception

| Source | Rating |
| AllMusic | |
| Pitchfork Media | 9.4/10 |
| Punknews.org | |
| The Village Voice | B+ |
In a 1982 Trouser Press review, Robert Payes described the "I'm in Trouble" single, which was taken from the album, as "(p)ower pop with the emphasis on power, roaring guitars and energy galore." In The Boston Phoenix, Milo Miles said that "One of the gratifying twists of Sorry, Ma, Forgot To Take Out the Trash is that the Replacements are uninterested in (though not unaware of) adolescence and garage rock as pervasive, self-referential pop mythologies."
Retrospectively, AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine considered Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash to be "one of the best LPs the entire scene produced in the early '80s." In a very positive review, Punknews.org praised the album for being different from its counterparts of the hardcore punk scene, stating that the album "never sacrificed its pop appeal for throat-searing screams and whiplash speed."

# Matthew 10:40

Matthew 10:40 is a verse in the tenth chapter of the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament.

## Content

In the original Greek according to Westcott-Hort this verse is:
    Ὁ δεχόμενος ὑμᾶς ἐμὲ δέχεται· καὶ ὁ ἐμὲ δεχόμενος δέχεται τὸν ἀποστείλαντά με.
In the King James Version of the Bible, the text reads:
    He that receiveth you receiveth me, and he that receiveth me receiveth him that sent me.
The New International Version translates the passage as:
    "He who receives you receives me, and he who receives me receives the one who sent me".

## Analysis

Cornelius a Lapide likens the apostles to ambassadors, saying that the one who receives an ambassador of a king, receives the king who sent him. St. Paul uses similar language in 2 Corinthians 5:20, "We are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us", and in Galatians 4:14, "though my condition was a trial to you, you did not scorn or despise me, but received me as an angel of God, as Christ Jesus." Archbishop John McEvilly notes that Christ here proposes a reward for those that receive the apostles, which would help mitigate the poverty of the apostles.

## Commentary from the Church Fathers

Jerome: "The Lord when He sends forth His disciples to preach, teaches them that dangers are not to be feared, that natural affection is to be postponed to religion—gold He had above taken from them, brass He had shaken out of their purses—hard then surely the condition of the preachers! Whence their living? Whence their food and necessaries? Therefore He tempers the rigour of His precepts by the following promises, that in entertaining the Apostles each believer may consider that he entertains the Lord."
Chrysostom: "Enough had been said above to persuade those who should have to entertain the Apostles. For who would not with all willingness take in to his house men who were so courageous, that they despised all dangers that others might be saved? Above He had threatened punishment to those who should not receive them, He now promises reward to such as should receive them. And first He holds out to those who should entertain them the honour, that in so doing they were entertaining Christ, and even the Father; He who receiveth me, receiveth him that sent me. What honour to be compared to this of receiving the Father and the Son?"
Hilary of Poitiers: "These words show that He has a Mediator’s office, and since He came from God, when He is received by us, through Him God is transfused into us; and by this disposition of grace to have received the Apostles is no other than to have received God; for Christ dwells in them, and God in Christ."
