FAREWELL SUNDAY. The morning of Sunday, August 23, in the year of grace 1662, should have been black and gloomy with the artillery of rolling thunder, dreadful flashes of lightning, and driving hail and wind to strip the orchards and lay low the corn. For on that day was done a thing which filled the whole country with grief, and bore bitter fruit in after years, of revenge and rebellion. And, because it was the day before that formerly named after Bartholomew, the disciple, it hath been called the Black Bartholomew of England, thus being likened unto that famous day (approved by the Pope) when the French Protestants were treacherously massacred by their King. It should rather be called 'Farewell Sunday' or 'Exile Sunday,' for on that day two thousand godly ministers preached their last sermon in the churches where they had laboured worthily and with good fruit, some during the time of the Protector, and some even longer, because among them were a few who possessed their benefices even from the time of the late King Charles the First. And, since on that day two thousand ministers left their churches and their houses, and laid down their worldly wealth for conscience' sake, there were also, perhaps, as many wives who went with them, and, I dare say, three or four times as many innocent and helpless babes. And, further (it is said that the time was fixed by design and deliberate malice of our enemies), the ministers were called upon to make their choice only a week or two before the day of the collection of their tithes. In other words, they were sent forth to the world at the season when their purses were at the leanest; indeed, with most country clergymen, their purses shortly before the collection of tithes have become well-nigh empty. It was also unjust that their successors should be permitted to collect the tithes due to those who were ejected.It is fitting to begin this history with the Black Bartholomew, because all the troubles and adventures which afterwards befell us were surely caused by that accursed day. One know not certainly, what other rubs might have been ordained for us by a wise Providence (always with the merciful design of keeping before our eyes the vanity of worldly things, the instability of fortune, the uncertainty of life, and the wisdom of looking for a hereafter which shall be lasting, stable, and satisfying to the soul). Still, it must be confessed, such trials as were appointed unto us were, in severity and continuance, far beyond those appointed to the ordinary sort, so that I cannot but feel at times uplifted (I hope not sinfully) at having been called upon to endure so much. Let me not, however, be proud. Had it not been for this day, for certain, our boys would not have been tempted to strike a blow—vain and useless as it proved—for the Protestant religion and for liberty of conscience: while perhaps I should now be forbidden to relate our sufferings, were it not for the glorious Revolution which has restored toleration, secured the Protestant ascendancy, and driven into banishment a Prince, concerning whom all honest men pray that he and his son (if he have, indeed, a son of his own) may never again have authority over this realm.CONTENTSFAREWELL SUNDAYIN THE VILLAGETHE BOYSSIR CHRISTOPHERTHE RUNAWAYBENJAMIN, LORD CHANCELLORMEDICINÆ DOCTORA ROYAL PROGRESSWITH THE ELDERSLE ROY EST MORTBEFORE THE STORMHUMPHREYONE DAYTHE VISION OF THE BASKETA NIGHT AND MORNINGON THE MARCHTAUNTONTHE MAIDS OF TAUNTONKING MONMOUTH AND HIS CAMPBENJAMIN'S WARNINGWE WAIT FOR THE ENDTHE DAY AFTER THE FIGHTIN HIDINGTHE CAMP IN THE COMBILMINSTER CLINKSIR CHRISTOPHERBEFORE THE ASSIZEBENJAMINON WHAT CONDITIONS?A SLIGHT THING AT THE BESTTHE VISION OF CONSOLATIONTHE MAN OF SAMARIAON BOARD THE 'JOLLY THATCHER'THE GOOD SAMARITANTHE WHITE SLAVETHE FIRST DAY OF SERVITUDEBY THE WATERS OF BABYLONHUMPHREY'S NARRATIVEFOR TEN YEARSWITH THE HOEON C

The Hammer. A Story of the Maccabean Times by Alfred John Church & Richmond SeeleyIt is not so very long since the Apocrypha was found in almost every copy of the English Bible, but in the present day it is seldom printed with it, and very seldom indeed read. One or two of the writings included under this name are trivial and even absurd; but, on the whole, the Apocryphal books deserve far more attention than they receive. Among the foremost, in point of interest and value, must be placed the First Book of Maccabees. Written within fifty years of the events which it records, at a time, it must be remembered, that was singularly barren of historical literature, it is a careful, sober, and consistent narrative. It is our principal, not unfrequently our sole, authority for the incidents of a very important period, a period that was in the highest degree critical in the history of the Jewish nation and of the world which that nation has so largely influenced. It is commonly said that the great visitation of the Captivity finally destroyed in the Hebrew mind the tendency to [pg vi]idolatry. But the denunciations of Ezekiel prove to us that the exiles carried into the land of their captivity the evil which they had cherished in the land of their birth, and it is no less certain that they brought it back with them on their return. It grew to its height in the early part of the Second Century B.C., along with the increasing influence of Greek civilization in Western Asia. The feeble Jewish Commonwealth was more and more dominated by the powerful kingdoms which had been established on the ruins of the empire of Alexander, and the national religion was attacked by an enemy at least as dangerous as the Phœnician Baal-worship had been in earlier days, an enemy which may be briefly described by the word Hellenism. The story of how Judas and his brothers led the movement which rescued the Jewish faith from this peril is the story which we have endeavoured to tell in this volume. Our plan has been to follow strictly the lines of the First Book of Maccabees, going to the Second, a far less trustworthy document, only for some picturesque incidents. The subsidiary characters are fictitious, but the narrative is, we believe, apart from casual errors, historically correct.We have to acknowledge special obligations to Captain Conder’s “Judas Maccabæus,” a volume of the series entitled “The New Plutarch.” We also owe much to Canon Rawlinson’s notes in the “Speaker’s Commentary on the Bible,” to Canon Westcott’s articles in the “Dictionary of the Bible,” and to Dean Stanley’s “Lectures on the Jewish Church.”If any reader should be curious as to the literary partnership announced on the title-page—a partnership that has grown, so to speak, out of another of many years’ standing, shared by the writers as author and publisher—he may be informed that the plan of the story and a detailed outline of it have been contributed by Richmond Seeley, and the story itself written for the most part by Alfred Church.

What's it really mean to be rich? Sid's grandfather came with nothing; his baby boomer relatives pit lifestyle against Bible and his cousins' lives are scattered all over the map. Business success, treasure in heaven or take it easy man. Family reunion turns to tales of revelation where the past demands resolution. Sid watches children play in their sandbox and finds a wiser investment portfolio.What's it really mean to be rich? Wealth in gold or richness of spirit, Sid needs to know. Plagued by spiritual voices, Sid sets out on a search for a new investment schema, an improved personal definition of wealth. Inspired by a gym bag toting hitchhiker who says yes I am wealthy and a grandfather’s stories of coming with nothing to the new world, Sid makes a decision to listen more intuitively to relatives at a family reunion. A tragic death in the past has some members missing; Uncle Harry whose busy drinking and Aunt Lola … rumoured rich, yet having run from the family long ago. Uncle Nick, now living in a developing country, speaks of happiness in poverty as well as something elusively appealing even beyond happiness. While religious family members thrash out Biblical teachings about riches, the children, perhaps closest to the One who bids them come, appear to have the greatest freedom. Cousin Ryan just loves to go fishing and leaves all finances to the whim of lottery tickets while his brother Franco, a successful businessman, scoffs at him. Amy, another cousin, follows the blissful glamour of a television idol, while Sid struggles to understand his sister Jo’s choice to live the life of a “starving” artist. After the reunion, Sid is left with a range of new investment options. Over the next five years, Sid hears real world tales of revelation. The drinking uncle comes for a visit, having found the God of AA. Amy tells Sid of her trip to California where she actually visits her television hero’s utopia and their California cousin who lives in the ocean front family home. Travelling to his sister's home, he feels stirred by the perspective of children, especially one no longer living. Ryan recounts his story of a trip to see Uncle Nick in Costa Rica, his discovery of romance and the pura vida way of life. Sid has finally given in to the voices within, and giving up much of what he has to try on a global equity lifestyle, he discovers much of what the voices intended he find. Needing a recap on treasure in heaven, he trails along after the religious family to their church, finding out more about the spiritual side. A second reunion brings the family together once again. Conflicts from family history arise, demanding resolution of past turmoil surrounding the quest unto death, for love, so many years ago. Sid develops a wiser investment portfolio based on children playing in their sandbox.
