Chap. II.—That There is But One God, and that There Cannot Be More.
Another question follows: Whether there be one God or more? And this indeed contains much ambiguity. For not only do individuals differ among themselves, but also peoples and nations. But he who shall follow the guidance of reason will understand that there cannot be a Lord except one, nor a Father except one. For if God, who made all things, is also Lord and Father, He must be one only, so that the same may be the head and source of all things. Nor is it possible for the world to exist unless all things be referred to one person, unless one hold the rudder, unless one guide the reins, and, as it were, one mind direct all the members of the body. If there are many kings in a swarm of bees, they will perish or be scattered abroad, while
“Discord attacks the kings with great commotion.”
If there are several leaders in a herd, they will contend until one gains the mastery. If there are many commanders in an army, the soldiers cannot obey, since different commands are given; nor can unity be maintained by themselves, since each consults his own interests according to his humours. Thus, in this commonwealth of the world, unless there were one ruler, who was also its founder, either this mass would be dissolved, or it could not have been put together at all.
Moreover, the whole authority could not exist in many deities, since they separately maintain their own duties and their own prerogatives. No one, therefore, of them can be called omnipotent, which is the true title of God, since he will be able to accomplish that only which depends upon himself, and will not venture to attempt that which depends upon others. Vulcan will not claim for himself water, nor Neptune fire; nor will Ceres claim acquaintance with the arts, nor Minerva with fruits; nor will Mercury lay claim to arms, nor Mars to the lyre; Jupiter will not claim medicine, nor Æsculapius the thunderbolt: he will more easily endure it when thrown by another, than he will brandish it himself. If, therefore, individuals cannot do all things, they have less strength and less power; but he is to be regarded as God who can accomplish the whole, and not he who can only accomplish the smallest part of the whole.

Chap. I.—Of the Divine Providence.
First a question arises: Whether there is any providence which made or governs the world? That there is, no one doubts, since of almost all the philosophers, except the school of Epicurus, there is but one voice and one opinion, that the world could not have been made without a contriver, and that it cannot exist without a ruler. Therefore Epicurus is refuted not only by the most learned men, but also by the testimonies and perceptions of all mortals. For who can doubt respecting a providence, when he sees that the heavens and the earth have been so arranged and that all things have been so regulated, that they might be most befittingly adapted, not only to wonderful beauty and adornment, but also to the use of men, and the convenience of the other living creatures? That, therefore, which exists in accordance with a plan, cannot have had its beginning without a plan: thus it is certain that there is a providence.

Chap. IX.—Of the Disgraceful Deeds of the Gods.
Whence did Ceres bring forth Proserpine, except from debauchery? Whence did Latona bring forth her twins, except from crime? Venus having been subject to the lusts of gods and men, when she reigned in Cyprus, invented the practice of courtesanship, and commanded women to make traffic of themselves, that she might not alone be infamous. Were the virgins themselves, Minerva and Diana, chaste? Whence, then, did Erichthonius arise? Did Vulcan shed his seed upon the ground, and was man born from that as a fungus? Or why did Diana banish Hippolytus either to a retired place, or give him up to a woman, where he might pass his life in solitude among unknown groves, and having now changed his name, might be called Virbius? What do these things signify but impurity, which the poets do not venture to confess?
# Ante-Nicene Fathers/Volume VII/Lactantius/The Divine Institutes/The Epitome of the Divine Institutes/Chap. L

Chap. L.—Why God Assumed a Mortal Body, and Suffered Death.
It remains to answer those also, who deem that it was unbecoming and unreasonable that God should be clothed with a mortal body; that He should be in subjection to men; that He should endure insults; that He should even suffer tortures and death. I will speak my sentiments, and I will sum up, as I shall be able, an immense subject in few words. He who teaches anything, ought, as I think, himself to practice what he teaches, that he may compel men to obey. For if he shall not practice them, he will detract from the faith due to his precepts. Therefore there is need of examples, that the precepts which are given may have firmness, and if any one shall prove contumacious, and shall say that they cannot be carried out in practice, the instructor may refute him by actual fact. Therefore a system of teaching cannot be perfect, when it is delivered by words only; but it then becomes perfect, when it is completed by deeds.
Since therefore Christ was sent to men as a teacher of virtue, for the perfection of His teaching it was plainly befitting that He should act as well as teach. But if He had not assumed a human body, He would not have been able to practice what He taught,—that is, not to be angry, not to desire riches, not to be inflamed with lust, not to fear pain, to despise death. These things are plainly virtues, but they cannot be done without flesh. Therefore He assumed a body on this account, that, since He taught that the desires of the flesh must be overcome, He might in person first practice it, that no one might allege the frailty of the flesh as an excuse.

# Ante-Nicene Fathers/Volume VII/Lactantius/The Divine Institutes/The Epitome of the Divine Institutes/Chap. LII

Chap. LII.—The Hope of the Salvation of Men Consists in the Knowledge of the True God, and of the Hatred of the Heathens Against the Christians.
There is therefore but one hope of life for men, one harbour of safety, one refuge of liberty, if, laying aside the errors by which they were held, they open the eyes of their mind and recognise God, in whom alone is the abode of truth; despise earthly things, and those made from the ground esteem as nothing philosophy, which is foolishness with God; and having undertaken true wisdom, that is, religion, become heirs of immortality. But indeed they are not so much opposed to the truth as to their own safety; and when they hear these things, they abominate them as some inexpiable wickedness. But they do not even endure to hear: they think that their ears are polluted with impiety if they hear; nor do they now refrain from reproaches, but assail them with the most insulting words; and also, if they have obtained the power, persecute them as public enemies, yea, even as worse than enemies; for enemies, when they have been vanquished, are punished with death or slavery; nor is there any torturing after the laying down of arms, although those deserved to suffer all things who wished so to act, that piety might have place among swords.
Cruelty, combined with innocence, is unheard of, nor is it worthy of the condition of victorious enemies. What is the so powerful cause of this fury? Doubtless, because they cannot contend on the ground of reason, they urge forward their cause by means of violence; and, with the subject not understood, they condemn those as most pernicious persons who have declined to make a stand respecting the fact of their innocence. Nor do they deem it sufficient that those whom they unreasonably hate should die by a speedy and simple death; but they lacerate them with refined tortures, that they may satisfy their hatred, which is not produced by any fault, but by the truth, which is hateful to those who live wickedly, because they take it ill that there are some whom their deeds cannot please. They desire in every way to destroy these, that they may be able to sin without restraint in the absence of any witness.

# Atharva-Veda Samhita/Book XVI/Paryaya 9

9. Paryāya the ninth.
[catvāri vāi vacanāni. 1. prājāpatyā; 2. mantroktabahudevatyā; 3, 4. sāurye. 1. ārcy anuṣṭubh; 2. ārcy uṣṇih; 3. sāmnī pan̄kti; 4. paroṣṇih.]
Translated: Griffith, ii. 208.
1. Ours [is] what is conquered, ours what has shot up; I have withstood all fighters, niggards.
The verse is identical with the first part of x. 5. 36; and its second part, with vs. 2, is found in MS. i. 5. 3 (reading abhy àsthām).
2. That Agni says; that, too, Soma says: may Pūshan set me in the world of the well-done.
The two pādas are second and fourth pādas of a verse in MS. i. 5. 3 (which rectifies the meter by reading na ā́ dhāt in place of mā dhāt: our own text probably ought to read mā́, i.e. mā ā́). With either of these readings, we have two faultless triṣṭubh pādas; but the Anukr. sanctions only 21 syllables. The first pāda is also found as viii. 5. 5 a and xix. 24. 8 c.
3. We have gone to heaven (svàr); to heaven have we gone; we have united (sam-gam) with the sun's light;—
The first half is the beginning also of TS. i. 6. 6. In Kāuç. 6. 16, the verse is used in the parvan ceremonies, while one looks at the sun; but according to Dārila, this verse with the next is to be so used: ⌊and his view is accepted by SPP. (iii. 350$^{16}$) and is supported by the suspension of the sense (see note to vs. 4)⌋. In Vāit. 24. 5, it is used, together with a RV. verse, to accompany the coming up from the bath in the agniṣṭoma ceremony. ⌊For the general import of this vs., see p. 792, ¶ 2.⌋
4. In order to becoming better (vásyas-). Rich in good (vásu-) [is] the sacrifice; good may I win (van); rich in good may I be; good put thou in me.
⌊Here ends the second anuvāka, with 5 paryāyas and 71 avasānarcas: but see the summations at p. 793 and cf. p. 798 and p. 801. The piece here quoted from the Old Anukr. is pañcaparyāya uttaraḥ: see p. 792.⌋

# Appletons' Cyclopædia of American Biography/McKim, Robert

Edition of 1900.
​McKIM, Robert, philanthropist, b. in County Tyrone, Ireland, 24 May, 1816; d. in Madison, Ind., 9 May, 1887. After completing his apprenticeship as a stone-mason he emigrated to the United States, worked for a time at his trade in Philadelphia, and removed to Madison, Ind., in 1837. There he continued to ply his vocation until 1855, when he established himself in the coal business. Fortunate investments in real estate enabled him to become interested in manufacturing ​enterprises, and he soon acquired wealth. Mr. McKim had always been a lover of astronomical studies, and when he grew rich he purchased for his own use one of the best telescopes in the United States, and mounted it in an observatory that he built adjoining his residence. He also presented to the observatory of De Pauw university a complete astronomical outfit at a cost of over $10,000, and public charities and institutions of learning also benefited by his bequests.

​McKEON, John, lawyer, b. in Albany, N. Y., in 1808; d. in New York city, 22 Nov., 1883. He was graduated at Columbia in 1825, studied law, was admitted to the bar, and began to practise in New York city. He was a member of the lower house of the legislature from 1832 till 1834, and subsequently was elected to congress as a Democrat, serving from 7 Dec., 1835, till 3 March, 1837, and from 31 May, 1841, till 3 March, 1843. He was appointed district attorney of the county of New York early, in 1846, and the following year, the office having become elective, he was chosen for the full term of three years. He was resolute in the discharge of his duties, notably in securing the conviction of the notorious malpractitioner, Madame Restell, and in his determined hostility to criminals of all classes. After serving during the unexpired term of Charles O'Conor as U. S. district attorney for the southern district of New York, he resumed the practice of law in 1858. While holding the latter office he was engaged in prosecuting a number of important cases. Among them were the attempt to enlist men to serve in the British army during the Crimean war; the seizure of the filibustering ship “Northern Light,” and the trial of Officer Westervelt, who had been captured on board the “Nightingale” by government cruisers, that vessel having in her hold 960 slaves. Although well advanced in years, he was nominated for district attorney in the autumn of 1881, and was elected to the same office that he had held more than thirty years before.

He taught grammar in that institution for a year, spent several months in the study of civil engineering, and in the autumn of 1873 devoted himself to the work of writing his “History of the People of the United States,” for which he had been gathering material since 1870. He was appointed instructor in civil engineering at Princeton in 1877, and in 1883 became professor of American history in the University of Pennsylvania. The first volume of his “History of the People of the United States from the Revolution to the Civil War” (New York, 1883) achieved an immediate success. His other writings include numerous magazine articles; four volumes of his history (1885-1900); and “Life of Benjamin Franklin” in the “Men of Letters” series (Boston, 1887).

He went to Detroit when he was sixteen years of age, and was clerk in a hardware-store for two years, until he was appointed purchasing-agent for the Detroit and Milwaukee railroad company. In 1864, with John S. Newberry and others, he organized the Michigan car company, for the manufacture of freight-cars. This business grew very rapidly, and in ten years it was one of the largest in the United States. Its success led to the formation of the Detroit car-wheel company, the Baugh steam-forge company, the Detroit iron-furnace company, and the Vulcan furnace company. In 1881, with his associates in business, he organized the Detroit, Mackinaw, and Marquette railroad company, of which he became president. Mr. McMillan is one of the largest owners of the Detroit and Cleveland steam navigation company, and the Detroit transportation company, has been a director of several banks in Detroit, and is interested in other large business enterprises. He has been chairman of the Michigan state Republican committee, contributing largely to its funds. His business enterprises have uniformly proved successful, and he has acquired a large fortune.

# At Hawthorne's Grave

From Risk, and Other Poems
Can any famous marble whose broad shaft  Is lettered full with words of life and death, Whose base and cap assert the sculptor's craft  In some device that reins the rapid breath; Can any meet the eye with such a power  As just this fragrant word of simple place? Had ever small, white stone so rich a dower?  Ever such sovereignty, so little space As this? Yet best befitted in a word;  Naught would one add for majesty of Fame; Yet standing here, the fancy in me stirred,  To hedge his rest with that which bears his name, That nature might in his memorial share, Divulging, with her blossoms, who lies there.
