NAAMAN by John Newton
    Before Elisha's gate
    The Syrian leper stood;
    But could not brook to wait,
    He deemed himself too good:
    He thought the prophet would attend,
    And not to him a message send.
    Have I this journey come,
    And will he not be seen?
    I were as well at home,
    Would washing make me clean:
    Why must I wash in Jordan's flood?
    Damascus' rivers are as good.
    Thus by his foolish pride
    He almost missed a cure;
    Howe'er at length he tried,
    And found the method sure:
    Soon as his pride was brought to yield,
    The leprosy was quickly healed.
    Leprous and proud as he,
    To Jesus thus I came,
    From sin to set me free,
    When first I heard his fame:
    Surely, thought I, my pompous train
    Of vows and tears will notice gain.
    My heart devised the way
    Which I supposed he'd take;
    And when I found delay,
    Was ready to go back:
    Had he some painful task enjoined,
    I to performance seemed inclined.
    When by his word he spake,
    That fountain opened see;
    'Twas opened for thy sake,
    Go wash, and thou art free:"
    O! how did my proud heart gainsay,
    I feared to trust this simple way.
    At length I trial made,
    When I had much endured;
    The message I obeyed,
    I washed, and I was cured:
    Sinners this healing fountain try,
    Which cleansed a wretch so vile as I.
# Before the Birth of One of Her Children

All things within this fading world hath end, Adversity doth still our joys attend; No ties so strong, no friends so dear and sweet, But with death's parting blow is sure to meet. The sentence past is most irrevocable, A common thing, yet oh, inevitable. How soon, my Dear, death may my steps attend. How soon't may be thy lot to lose thy friend, We both are ignorant, yet love bids me These farewell lines to recommend to thee, That when that knot's untied that made us one, I may seem thine, who in effect am none. And if I see not half my days that's due, What nature would, God grant to yours and you; The many faults that well you know I have Let be interred in my oblivious grave; If any worth or virtue were in me, Let that live freshly in thy memory And when thou feel'st no grief, as I no harms, Yet love thy dead, who long lay in thine arms. And when thy loss shall be repaid with gains Look to my little babes, my dear remains. And if thou love thyself, or loved'st me, These O protect from step-dame's injury. And if chance to thine eyes shall bring this verse, With some sad sighs honour my absent hearse; And kiss this paper for thy love's dear sake, Who with salt tears this last farewell did take.

# Before Sunrise (Smith)

1910.
I rose in that hushed hour before the dawn Unveils its wonder old yet ever-new, When still the night lies languidly upon The earth, though stars are growing faint and few.
Up the long path I went, nor paused to rest Along the cool, dark way, till on the hill I stood, where dawn's first breeze my brow caressed With mingled odorous breath and mountain chill.
To west hung heavily the drowsy night, Weighted with fog, low-clinging, grey and dim, Adown each valley and about each height, Thro' which the sinking stars appeared to swim.
I turned, and lo! how pale the eastland's face, As if it mourned the starlit night's decline, Ere youthful Day, coming with eager pace, With kisses should that cheek incarnadine.

This work was legally published within the United States (or the United Nations Headquarters in New York subject to Section 7 of the United States Headquarters Agreement) before 1964, and the copyright of this work was assigned by the author to another party. That assignee renewed the copyright at the appropriate time, in the assignee's own name, after the death of the author. However, this work is in the public domain in the United States because the renewal copyright was never vested in the assignees who made the copyright renewal application. The author must be alive at the start of the copyright renewal term for the author's prior assignments to vest. If, however, the author dies before vesting of the renewal copyright, the party to whom the renewal-copyright interest was conveyed loses the entitlement to that interest. Therefore, the copyright of this work is not valid.
The longest-living author of this work died in 1936, so this work is in the public domain in countries and areas where the copyright term is the author's life plus 87 years or less.

# Black Book memo

Memorandum to President Harry S. Truman, received March 1948
​MEMORANDUM TO THE PRESIDENT:
Subject: "Majic"
I have learned that you seldom see the army summaries of "Majic" material. For some time, the last two months in particular, I have had our intelligence liaison organization concentrating on a workable presentation on "Majic" for my use, as well as for the other officials concerned, particularly yourself. A highly specialized organization is now engaged in the very necessary process of separating the wheat from the chaff and correlating the items with past information in order that I may be able to quickly and intelligently evaluate the importance of the product.
Recently I have had these summaries bound in a Black Book both for convenience of reading and for greater security in handling. Sometimes two or three of these booklets are written [ ] in a single day. I think they contain all the worthwhile information culled from the tremendous mass of material now available and that are assimilated each twenty-four hours. The recent discovery of the machines has added a tremendous amount of such material and will continue to give us a great deal from day to day. The problem is how to avoid being buried under the mass of information, and I think the present arrangements satisfactorily meets that difficulty.
I am gathering two of the current booklets which I hope you will glance through in order to familiarize yourself with the manner in which the information is presented. I will send these booklets each week to you direct at the White House.

# Book of Common Prayer (ECUSA)/The Holy Eucharist/An Exhortation

​An Exhortation
This Exhortation may be used, in whole or in part, either during the Liturgy or at other times. In the absence of a deacon or priest, this Exhortation may be read by a lay person. The people stand or sit.
Beloved in the Lord: Our Savior Christ, on the night before he suffered, instituted the Sacrament of his Body and Blood as a sign and pledge of his love, for the continual remembrance of the sacrifice of his death, and for a spiritual sharing in his risen life. For in these holy Mysteries we are made one with Christ, and Christ with us; we are made one body in him, and members one of another.
Having in mind, therefore, his great love for us, and in obedience to his command, his Church renders to Almighty God our heavenly Father never‑ending thanks for the creation of the world, for his continual providence over us, for his love for all mankind, and for the redemption of the world by our Savior Christ, who took upon himself our flesh, and humbled himself even to death on the cross, that he might make us the children of God by the power of the Holy Spirit, and exalt us to everlasting life.
But if we are to share rightly in the celebration of those holy Mysteries, and be nourished by that spiritual Food, we must remember the dignity of that holy Sacrament. I therefore call upon you to consider how Saint Paul exhorts all persons to prepare themselves carefully before eating of that Bread and drinking of that Cup.
For, as the benefit is great, if with penitent hearts and living faith we receive the holy Sacrament, so is the danger great, if we receive it improperly, not recognizing the Lord=s Body. Judge yourselves, therefore, lest you be judged by the Lord.
​Examine your lives and conduct by the rule of God’s commandments, that you may perceive wherein you have offended in what you have done or left undone, whether in thought, word, or deed. And acknowledge your sins before Almighty God, with full purpose of amendment of life, being ready to make restitution for all injuries and wrongs done by you to others; and also being ready to forgive those who have offended you, in order that you yourselves may be forgiven. And then, being reconciled with one another, come to the banquet of that most heavenly Food.
And if, in your preparation, you need help and counsel, then go and open your grief to a discreet and understanding priest, and confess your sins, that you may receive the benefit of absolution, and spiritual counsel and advice; to the removal of scruple and doubt, the assurance of pardon, and the strengthening of your faith.
To Christ our Lord who loves us, and washed us in his own blood, and made us a kingdom of priests to serve his God and Father, to him be glory in the Church evermore. Through him let us offer continually the sacrifice of praise, which is our bounden duty and service, and, with faith in him, come boldly before the throne of grace [and humbly confess our sins to Almighty God].

# Book of Common Prayer (ECUSA)/The Lectionary

The Lectionary
​Concerning the Lectionary
The Lectionary for Sundays is arranged in a three-year cycle, in which Year A always begins on the First Sunday of Advent in years evenly divisible by three. (For example, 1977 divided by 3 is 659 with no remainder. Year A, therefore, begins on Advent Sunday of that year.)
The Psalms and Lessons appointed for the Sundays and for other major Holy Days are intended for use at all public services on such days, except when the same congregation attends two or more services. Thus, the same Lessons are to be read at the principal morning service, whether the Liturgy of the Word takes the form given in the Holy Eucharist, or that of the Daily Office.
When the same congregation is present for Morning or Evening Prayer, in addition to the Eucharist, the Lessons at the Office may be selected from one of the other years of the three-year Sunday cycle, or from the Lectionary for the Daily Office. The Psalms at such Offices are normally those appointed in the Office Lectionary; but, when desired, the Psalm cited in the selected Sunday Proper may be used instead.
In this Lectionary, the selections from the Psalter are frequently cited in a longer and shorter version, usually from the same Psalm. The longer version is particularly appropriate for use at the Office, the shorter version when the Psalm is sung between the Lessons at the Eucharist. The selections may be further lengthened or shortened at discretion.
When an alternative Lessons is cited, it is sometimes identical with a Lessons appointed for the same day in the Daily Office Lectionary.
In the opening verses of Lessons, the Reader should omit initial conjunctions which refer only to what has preceded, substitute nouns for pronouns when the referent is not otherwise clear, or else prefix to the Reading some such introduction as, “N. said (to N.).”
Any Reading may be lengthened at discretion. Suggested lengthenings are shown in parentheses.

Blossom v. Milwaukee Railroad Company
A DECREE foreclosing a mortgage and ordering a sale of the road had been obtained in the District Court of the United States for the District of Wisconsin, in a suit by one Bishop and others against The Milwaukee and Chicago Railroad Company; and the road being offered for sale by the marshal, under the decree, Blossom, the appellant in this case, made a bid for the property. The sale was suspended at this point, and never actually proceeded further. Blossom then went into the District Court, and by petition prayed to have the sale completed and confirmed. His application was, however, refused. From this order of refusal he took an appeal, the present suit. A motion was now made to dismiss this appeal, the grounds of the motion being these:
1. That the appellant was not a party to the suit in the District Court, and was therefore not entitled to prosecute an appeal.
2. That his right had accrued in the mere process of executing the final decree; and that, accordingly, no appeal lay.
3. That the refusal of the District Court to confirm or complete the sale was a matter within its discretion, and, therefore, not the subject of review here.
Mr. Justice MILLER delivered the opinion of the court.

I would affirm the judgment of the Michigan Court of Appeals upon principles heretofore often expressed by me. See my opinions in Roth v.

Attorney General of Com. of Massachusetts, 383 U.S. 413, 455, 86 S.Ct. 975, 16 L.Ed.2d 1 (1966). From the standpoint of what I regard as the permissible excercise of state power in this field, the materials in this case fall far short of the 'borderline' movie involved in Cain v. Kentucky (reversed summarily), 397 U.S. 319, 90 S.Ct. 1110, 25 L.Ed.2d 335 (1970), see my dissent in that case, and I am at a loss to understand how these materials can be deemed to qualify for Redrup treatment when only a short time ago the Court declined to accord that treatment to the materials involved in Spicer v. New York, cert. denied, 397 U.S. 1042, 90 S.Ct. 1364, 25 L.Ed.2d 653.

# Bloomin'

Extracted from Sea Stories magazine, Jan 1923 pp. 89-90. Accompanying illustration omitted
Bloomin'
by Wallace Irwin
WHEN I was on me leave ashore
I lived in pretty Feldom,
And loved a gal named Daisy Moore,
And left her very seldom.
But when me optics lit upon
That maid o' my selection,
There came a bloke named “English John”
To rival me affection.
He had a most peculiar way
Of tellin' of his passion.
And used to give his love away
In this here foolish fashion:
“Ho D'isy Moore, ho D'isy Moore,
There isn't no mistakin'.
The fairest of our bloomin' race.
Whene'er I see yer bloomin' face
Me bloomin' 'eart is breakin'.”
Whene'er I called upon that maid
Friend John was always handy;
Whene'er I bought her lemonade
He bought her gum and candy.
A-buyin' flowers and things for her
Most sent me to the workh'us.
I took her to the the-ay-ter,
John took her to the circus.
And when I'd go to tell her
Me swift-increasin' passion,
Then up would speak that Cockney burr
In this here foolish fashion;
“Ho D'isy Moore, ho D'isy Moore,
Just see 'ow swell I've hacted!
Ho fairest of the bloomin' flowers
That bloom within the bloomin' bowers,
I'm bloomin' near distracted!”
Well, pretty soon me patience got
A little bit exhausted,
For Daisy smiled on John a lot
And I was gettin' frosted.
She liked his British ways so much
It really looked alarmin';
She loved his courtyus bows and such,
And thought his'manners charmin'.
So one dark night at John I jumped.
As mad as any tanner.
And his poetic fancy bumped
In this straightforward manner;
“O English John, O English John,
Ye'd better git a mile off—
If ye don't stop that bloomin' lot
Of bloomin' gush and bloomin' rot
I'll bust yer bloomin' tile off!”
So English John at once withdrew
From his enamoratter;
And me and Daisy closer grew,
Our hearts quite pitter-patter.
And when I ast 'er to be mine
She answered “Yes” so sweetly
That I called in the town divine
Who married us completely.
And when the weddin' ring was on
Her hand so soft and gentle.
There came a note from English John
As if quite accidental:'
“Ho D'isy Moore, ho D'isy Moore,
I'm feelin' bloomin' sappy—
Six bloomin' nights I 'aven't slept.
Six bloomin' nights I've bloomin' wept—
I 'opes ye're bloomin' 'appy!”
