# The New Student's Reference Work/Majolica

See also Maiolica on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​Majolica (mȧ-jŏl′ĭ-kȧ), a decorated kind of enameled pottery made in Italy from the 15th to the 18th century. It is an earthenware, usually of a coarse paste covered with a stanniferous or tin-yielding glaze or enamel. Sometimes it is called Raffaelle ware, from a number of the paintings on it having been copied from the designs of that famous painter. Majolica is generally considered the most beautiful decorated pottery that was ever extensively made, at least during the Christian era. It seems to have been first made on the island of Majorca, of which Majolica is the Italian name.
# The New Student's Reference Work/Manchester (England)

See also Manchester on Wikipedia, and the disclaimer.
​ Manchester, a city in Lancashire, England, lies on the east bank of the Irwell, 31 miles east of Liverpool. Sixteen bridges, besides railroad viaducts, join it to Salford on the opposite bank, which really is a part of Manchester. Manchester is the center of the largest manufacturing district in the world. It is surrounded by a circle of suburban cities, and within a few miles is a second ring of cities with populations ranging from 10,000 to 50,000. Thirty miles from Manchester is a third cluster of towns and cities, most of them engaged in manufacture. Manchester and Salford have 11 parks, containing 300 acres. The free reference-library contains over 250,000 volumes, and there are six branch libraries. Chetham Library, founded in 1653, contains 40,000 volumes, many of them rare and very valuable. It was the first free library in England. The “Old Church,” built in 1422, is a fine Gothic structure. The magnificent town-hall is a Gothic, triangular building, costing $5,250,000. The hospital, the royal infirmary, was first used in 1755. Other buildings of note are the royal institution, the royal exchange, the free-trade hall and the assize courts. Victoria University and, especially, the Technical School are well known.
Manchester was the first town to introduce, about the middle of the 18th century, the factory-system, where large numbers of men work together, in place of the older method of men working in their homes. In 1756 Bridgewater Canal was constructed, which joins Manchester to the coalfields of Lancashire and salt-mines of Cheshire, and makes an outlet to the sea. In 1830 Manchester had the first perfect railroad in operation. In 1887-91 a great ship-canal was built at a cost of $28,750,000, which made Manchester an inland seaport. There are 750 industries carried on, but the great business is cotton-manufacture, and in and around Manchester are located two thirds of the cotton-mills of Great Britain and Ireland. Manchester University in 1906 had a teaching faculty of 190 in number, with a student attendance of 1,153. Population 716,354. See Saintsbury's Manchester.

The Moslem World
A PRAYER FOR MOHAMMEDANS EVERYWHERE
Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, Who hast made of one blood all nations, and hast promised that many shall come from the East and sit down with Abraham in Thy Kingdom: We pray for Thy two hundred million prodigal children in Moslem lands who are still afar off, that they may be brought nigh by the blood of Christ. Look upon them in pity because they are ignorant of Thy truth. Take away their pride of intellect and blindness of heart, and reveal to them the surpassing beauty and power of Thy Son Jesus Christ. Convince them of their sin in rejecting the atonement of the only Saviour. Give moral courage to those who love Thee, that they may boldly confess Thy name. Hasten the day of perfect freedom in Turkey, Arabia, Persia, and Afghanistan. Make Thy people willing in this new day of opportunity in China, India, and Egypt. Send forth reapers where the harvest is ripe, and faithful plowmen to break furrows in lands still neglected. May the pagan tribes of Africa and Malaysia not fall a prey to Islam, but be won for Christ. Bless the ministry of healing in every hospital, and the ministry of love at every mission station. May all Moslem children in mission schools be led to Christ and accept Him as their personal Saviour. Strengthen converts, restore backsliders, and give all those who labor among Mohammedans the tenderness of Christ, so that bruised reeds may become pillars of His church, and smoking flaxwicks burning and shining lights. Make bare Thine arm, O God, and show Thy power. All our expectation is from Thee. Father, the hour has come; glorify Thy Son in the Mohammedan world, and fulfill through Him the prayer of Abraham Thy friend, "Oh, that Ishmael might live before Thee." For Jesus' sake. Amen.

# The Nestorians and their Rituals/Volume 2/Chapter 12

CHAPTER XII.
OF THE THREE CREEDS.
"The Three Creeds, Nicene Creed, Athanasius's Creed, and that which is commonly called the Apostles' Creed, ought thoroughly to be received and believed: for they may be proved by most certain warrants of holy Scripture."—Article VIII.
The only one of these three Creeds in use among the Nestorians is the Nicene. This differs from that of the Western Church in its omission of the Filioque, and the part added by the council of Constantinople, as has already been observed under Art. V.
The Creed known as the Athanasian, is found in none of the Nestorian rituals, nor have I heard of its existence in any of their theological writings. The Patriarch Mar Shimoon on reading it said that the only objection against it was the declaration of the Spirit's procession from the Father and the Son, and the sentence "one altogether; not by confusion of substance, but by unity of Person;" and believing it to be the work of Athanasius he pointed out to me the following extract from the Gezza, appointed for the commemoration of the Greek Doctors, in which that saint is recorded:—"With the silver of the Spirit the zealous Fathers became teachers in the ocean of the world, being directed in the right way, the way of the Star, which is Christ, and attained at last unto that blessedness which fadeth not away.—They are Saint Ignatius, Polycarp, Athanasius, Eustathius, Miletus, Flavian, Gregory, Basil, John [Chrysostom,] ​Diodorus, Theodorus, and Mar Nestorius, who endured suffering in behalf of the truth"
The Apostles' Creed is equally unknown to the Nestorians. It is occasionally to be met with in the books printed at Rome for the Chaldeans, but even these scarcely ever made use of it.
# The Nestorians and their Rituals/Volume 2/Chapter 17

CHAPTER XVII.
OF GOOD WORKS.
"Works done before the grace of Christ, and the Inspiration of His Spirit, are not pleasant to God, forasmuch as they spring not of faith in Jesus Christ, neither do they make men meet to receive grace, or (as the School-authors say) deserve grace of congruity: yea, rather for that they are not done as God hath willed and commanded them to be done, we doubt not but that they have the nature of sin."—Article XIII.
The doctrine of the Nestorians with respect to works done before Justification may be summed up as follows: Man is far gone from original righteousness, and is of himself unable to attain unto salvation by any efforts of his own, as has been already shown under Article IX. In this state of nature he is under the curse, and consequently nothing which he can do, while in that state, is pleasing to God, "for in those days men were like beasts in everything, living like brutes in sensual lusts, and they stumbled in their goings over the stumbling-block of sin through the obliquity of their souls; they were, moreover, vain-glorious, and walked after the law of their nature without any discernment." But God in His mercy sent His Son to die for the sins of the whole world, and thereby removed the curse, and opened the kingdom of heaven which before had been shut against the whole race of Adam. Into this kingdom God calls whom He pleases, and in calling them. He bestows upon them His grace, which grace is communicated in the first instance, and without any merit whatever on the part of those who receive it, in holy baptism, whereby we become "members of Christ, children of God, and inheritors of the kingdom of Heaven" in which new state of Grace, whatever good works ​we do are pleasing unto God, because they are wrought through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit Who adopts us to be the sons of God in the holy ordinance of baptism. As this subject however, will be treated more at length under Article XXVII., I shall at present restrict myself to adducing the following extract from the service appointed in the Gezza for the feast of the Epiphany corroborative of the above remarks.
"Ho, all ye who are driven without the holy Church, and who are like strangers to her communion, come, enter in, and receive the gift of baptism, and mingle with the reasonable sheep of Christ. Behold this is the accepted time to all such as are unbaptized. Come, enter in, and take rest, and delight yourselves in the hidden mysteries of our salvation, lest you should have no part or portion in the invitation of the priest who celebrates. For the gates are watched on your account, lest any of you should enter in not having on the wedding garment. Therefore, come all of you, and partake freely of this holy gift."
# The Nestorians and their Rituals/Volume 2/Chapter 15

CHAPTER XV.
OF THE JUSTIFICATION OF MAN.
"We are accounted righteous before God, only for the merit of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ by Faith, and not for our own works or deservings; Wherefore, that we are justified by faith only is a most wholesome doctrine, and very full of comfort, as more largely is expressed in the Homily of Justification."—Article XI.
§ 1. "Behold I declare unto you glad tidings: if the thief entered into paradise, how can he who truly believes on the Son be prevented from entering therein?" From the Warda, on "our father Adam."
§ 2. "Two thieves were crucified with Him who is the heavenly treasure: the one on the right hand would not give up thievingj and in his last theft he stole the paradise of Eden when he cried out and besought, saying: 'Remember me, O Lord my Saviour, who forgivest sins,—remember me when Thou comest in Thy kingdom with great glory, with all the holy angels, since I confess that Thou art God.'" From the service appointed in the Khudhra for Easter Eve.
§ 3. "Bear in mind, thou prudent one, how that man was raised from frailty, and how through faith in Christ he has become an inheritor of the kingdom of heaven which passeth not away." From the Khamees, "on Repentance."
§ 4. "None can stand at Thy door and return away empty but he who is without faith. By faith Zaccheus welcomed Thee into his house, and by faith the thief received from Thee the keys of the kingdom. And behold Thy Church now standeth at Thy door and supplicates Thee day and night; accept her, O Lord, for to Thee she lifteth up her voice, and be ​merciful to her." From the collects at the end of the Khudhra appointed for particular occasions.
§ 5. "It is our reliance upon Thy mercies, O Lord, which stirreth us up to pray for forgiveness from Thee. Not that we deserve forgiveness, O Lord; but because, in Thy overflowing mercy. Thou dost justify freely all those who call upon Thee," From the service appointed in the Khudhra for the Tuesday nocturns of the Baootha d'Ninwâyé.
§ 6. "Jesus said unto her, 'Go in peace, thy sins be forgiven thee, thy faith hath saved thee, and a great grace has had compassion upon thee, and made thee an example to the penitent.' Listen, therefore, thou unbelieving man, and acquire to thyself a believing mind which gives life and forgiveness, and confess that He is God." From the Warda, on "Mary the Sinner."
§ 7. "Repentant in my thoughts I call upon Thee, O Thou Physician who healest gratuitously, that as Thou didst create me out of nothing; so, in Thy grace, heal Thou my misdeeds, since I cannot attain unto salvation, even by my repentance, unless Thou dost help me." From the service appointed in the Khudhra for the third Wednesday of Lent.
§ 8. "O Thou just Judge who dost justify freely, unto Thee do I declare all my short-comings. Give me, therefore, whiteness of face on the day of judgment, through the mercies which sent Thee to our race, and have mercy upon me." From the collects at the end of the Khudhra.
I shall withhold any remarks on the doctrine of justification by faith until the following article has been considered.
# The Nestorians and their Rituals/Volume 2/Chapter 18

CHAPTER XVIII.
OF WORKS OF SUPEREROGATION.
"Voluntary Works besides, over and above, God's Commandments, which they call Works of Supererogation, cannot be taught without arrogancy and impiety: for by them men do declare, that they do not only render unto God as much as they are bound to do, but that they do more for His sake, than of bounden duty is required: whereas Christ saith plainly, When ye have done all that are commanded to you, say, We are unprofitable servants."—Article XIV.
"Let us awake from the sleep of idleness, and let us run the race which is set before us. Let us aim to do good, and not be slothful, and as much as in us lieth let us imitate the perfect in their perseverance. Wherefore do we reproach the Israelites for their sins? Is not the road straight before us, why then should we go astray? We must account ourselves bound to do the things which are commanded us, nevertheless though we do them we shall not thereby profit the Holy and Rich [God,] and on the other hand, if we omit to do them, we cannot injure Him. The fruits of these two [the doing and the leaving undone what we ought to do,] are our own. Let us, therefore, fulfil the commands of the righteous Son, and worship His adorable Cross, confessing both inwardly and outwardly that it is through Him we conquer, through Him we become members of the Household, through Him we are justified, and through Him we triumph over our enemies." From a poem in the Khâmees written by the priest Ishak on the "Adorable Cross and the life of Christ."
REMARKS.
The doctrine condemned in this article has no existence among the Nestorians. So little do they know of any such error that they have not even a name for it.
# The Nestorians and their Rituals/Volume 2/Chapter 19

CHAPTER XIX.
OF CHRIST ALONE WITHOUT SIN.
"Christ in the truth of our nature was made like unto us in all things, sin only except, from which He was clearly void, both in His flesh, and in His spirit. He came to be the Lamb without spot, who, by the sacrifice of Himself once made, should take away the sins of the world, and sin, as Saint John saith, was not in Him. But all we the rest, although baptized, and born again in Christ, yet offend in many things; and if we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us."—Article XV.
§ 1. A poem in the Warda commences with some remarks on the scribe who addressed Christ, saying: "Good Master," and continues: "The Good Son, He who is good even as His Father is good, replied and said unto him whose thoughts were evil, 'Why callest thou Me good? Thou hast called Me good in order that I may call thee a good Scribe, whereas there is none good among men; thy address, therefore, has not affected Me.' … There is none good among men, saith the mouth of the Truth, for there is none perfect and good like unto God among all those who are created. And if God is good, is not His Son also good?" From the Warda "on the Man who went down from Jerusalem to Jericho," adapted to the third Sunday of the Apostles.
§ 2. "I have sinned against Thee, and not I only, but all Thy creatures also have sinned against Thee. And Thou alone art He who hast reconciled Thyself to us." From the Warda "on repentance."
§ 3. "He who is more righteous than all men became sin, [2 Cor. v. 21,] and He who is more blessed than all became a curse, and the Alive for evermore became dead, and who can comprehend this grace? … When our Lord was called 'Sin,' He became the destroyer of sin: and when the title of 'Curse' was affixed to Him, He became the destroyer of all curses. ​Not that His Person became sin, or His Parsopa a curse; but He took the title of those vile things, and in their stead gave us in reality glorious things. It is impossible for inherent righteousness to become sin, but it is possible for righteousness to be [called] sin in behalf of grace." From the Warda. "The author on himself."
REMARKS.
Besides the evidence deducible from the above, the reader who has carefully perused the extracts quoted under the foregoing Articles will feel fully persuaded, that the corruption of human nature, and the universal sinfulness of all who are born of Adam, are doctrines maintained and taught in the ancient Nestorian rituals. And I doubt not that if propounded to any modern Nestorian they would meet with a cordial assent.
# The New York Times/Flesh Descending in a Shower
## FLESH DESCENDING IN A SHOWER.

an astounding phenomenon in kentucky—fresh meat like mutton or venison falling from a clear sky.
Special Dispatch to the New-York Times.
Louisville, March 9.—The Bath County (Ky.) News of this date says: "On last Friday a shower of meat fell near the house of Allen Crouch, who lives some two or three miles from the Olympian Springs in the southern portion of the county, covering a strip of ground about one hundred yards in length and fifty wide. Mrs. Crouch was out in the yard at the time, engaged in making soap, when meat which looked like beef began to fall around her. The sky was perfectly clear at the time, and she said it fell like large snow flakes, the pieces as a general thing not being much larger. One piece fell near her which was three or four inches square. Mr. Harrison Gill, whose veracity is unquestionable, and from whom we obtained the above facts, hearing of the occurrence visited the locality the next day, and says he saw particles of meat sticking to the fences and scattered over the ground. The meat when it first fell appeared to be perfectly fresh.
The correspondent of the Louisville Commercial, writing from Mount Sterling, corroborates the above, and says the pieces of flesh were of various sizes and shapes, some of them being two inches square. Two gentlemen, who tasted the meat, express the opinion that it was either mutton or venison.
