Eighteenth Century Men's Civilian Waistcoats, Frances Burroughs Loba

Theses and Dissertations

A number of general studies of the history of eighteenth century men's clothing have been written by authors such as Zilla Halls, Avril Hart, and Norah Waugh. However, a cursory review of costume literature reveals a lack of academic study on specific men's garments and their history. This work focuses on documenting the development of eighteenth century men's waistcoats using the artifacts themselves. The purpose of using extant waistcoats is to study closely their construction and decorative details with close attention to the similarities and differences in the style, cut and assembly of the garments.

William Penn And The Scriptures, Edwin B. Bronner

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

William Penn was a prolific writer, and, following the practice of the period, he drew upon countless authorities to support his arguments and strengthen the points he wished to make. While he is often remembered for his familiarity with the classics, with church fathers and political philosophers, we should remember that he referred to the Scriptures, and quoted from them more frequently than all other sources combined.

The Business Of Our Lives, Thomas F. Head

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

I view John Woolman's "A Plea for the Poor" through the eyes of my own experience. In particular, two aspects of my experience shape my vision: that of being an economist and that of being a Quaker. The economist in me is sensitive to statements about prices, wages, rents, production, distribution, equality, inequality, contracts, poverty and wealth. The Quaker in me responds especially to the language of the spirit. When Woolman speaks of God, the Creator, our Redeemer, Jesus Christ, pure wisdom, Divine love, tender mercies, universal love, the Fountain of universal light and love, our Lord, our Saviour and …

Christ Is Still The Answer, Dean Freiday

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

Perhaps one of the most significant developments among American Friends during this last century was the 1970 St. Louis Conference. Uniquely among Quaker conferences, "official" delegates were appointed by all the yearly meetings of Friends in the U. S. and Canada. The appointees of two yearly meetings were unable to attend for health or other last-minute emergencies, but no yearly meeting boycotted the Conference. In accordance with Friends' principles, the group could not legislate, but position papers were presented for FUM, FGC, and (the then) EFA.

A highlight of that gathering was the address given by Everett L. CattelP on …

Ordinary Prophets, Extraordinary Lives, Howard R. Macy

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

I will propose in this essay that the lives of the prophets, or more precisely, the practical results of the spirituality of the prophets, can guide our own living as followers of Christ. They can supply insights which can help interpret our experience, and they can hold out vistas of possibilities for growth which we may not yet have realized.

Religion And Ethics In The Thought Of John Bellers, T. Vail Palmer Jr.

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

The lives and writings of seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century Friends have had an enormous impact on later generations of Quakers. They have also received due attention from church historians. George Fox's Journal has achieved a measure of fame as a Christian devotional classic. Beyond this, only two of these early Friends have received significant attention, after their time, in circles beyond the Quaker family. One of these Friends, William Penn, is well enough known to need no further comment. The other one is John Bellers. His writings have had their chief impact on Socialist and Communist thinkers. Robert Owen, early …

What Future For Evangelical Friends?, Charles Mylander

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

When John Wooden was coach of UCLA's basketball team he taught his players who scored a basket to honor the teammate who passed the ball to him. While running back down the floor the scoring player pointed to the one who gave the assist or set the pick. Since those now-famous days you can often see basketball players pointing to a teammate, giving credit for setting them up to score. In this book many of us are pointing in honor to Dr. Arthur O. Roberts, our professor who again and again gave us an assist that made a significant difference …

The Relation Between Content And Experience In George Fox's Theology Of Encounter, Paul N. Anderson

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

The kerygmatic message of George Fox may be described as a "theology of encounter." Not only did it call for a transforming encounter with God through the pneumatic power and presence of the resurrected Lord, but Fox's spiritual insights were gained largely by means of such encounters which he called "openings." The focus of this paper is to explore the connection between salient aspects of Fox's kerygmatic message and their epistemological origins within his spiritual experience; in other words, to assess the relation between content and experience in George Fox's theology of encounter.

Rufus Jones And Quaker Unity, Hugh Barbour

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

The Society of Friends, for Rufus Jones as for Arthur Roberts, remains a single movement, called by God to a special role in American Christianity and world history. Both men have also been realistically aware of human limitations and diversity. Yet they have seen God's power, shared in meetings for worship as well as in the religious experience of individuals, able to change human society and transcend human ideas and institutions.

Some Reflections On Quakers And The Evangelical Spirit, John Punshon

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

I suppose that Arthur Roberts was the first evangelical Friend I ever met. On what was probably the third day of my very first visit to the United States, I flew out to Oregon to meet him and visit George Fox College. I had been teaching at Woodbrooke, the English Quaker study center, for a couple of years, and I was beginning to get an inkling that there were many Friends in the world who were not like us. I wanted to get as far away from London Yearly Meeting as I possibly could, and Northwest Yearly Meeting seemed to …

Thy Obedience Is Perfect Freedom, T. Canby Jones

Resistance In A 'Culture Of Permission:' Sociological Readings Of The Correspondence With Persian Authorities In Ezra 1-7, Daniel L. Smith-Christopher

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

The first six chapters of the book of Ezra center around an alleged correspondence between the Persian Emporer's court and the local authorities of Palestine under Persian rule. Without question, these letters were crucial to the editors of Ezra-Nehemiah. But why? What does the reproduction of this alleged official correspondence mean to the final editors of Ezra-Nehemiah?

Anthony Benezet, The True Champion Of The Slave, Irv A. Brendlinger

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

Anthony Benezet was the greatest eighteenth century influence on the ending of British slavery and the slave trade. While names such as Wilberforce, Sharp and Clarkson ring with familiarity as champions of the slave, it is Benezet who occupies the position of foundational influence on these men and the entire cause. To substantiate this claim I shall briefly introduce his life and examine his antislavery activities and influences. However, it is most fitting to begin with his death and the public response to it.

The Nature Of Mysticism, Gayle Beebe

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

As a definitive work of the Society of Friends, the Journal of George Fox has set the tone and tenor for the Society's understanding of one's experience of God or the ultimately Real. Various interpretations of Fox have been offered, but a consistent theme in all interpretations has been Fox's emphasis on the necessity of an experimental or experiential understanding of one's encounter with God. A result of this consistent emphasis has been a trend Fox started himself: since one's experience of God is the touchstone of religious faith, the role or importance of religious texts, religious communities and religious …

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

One of my favorite Far Sides shows a spider on an analyst's couch, saying, "It's the same dream night after night...I walk out on my web, and suddenly a foot sticks-and then another foot sticks, and another, and another, and another...." Gary Larsen's spider expresses the impression that people who are fascinated by language have: language is like a web. I spin it out thinking that I have it under control, and suddenly it seems I am caught in the system of words. I open my mouth to speak, and suddenly words appear or disappear, the wrong words come, or …

A Nature Nudge, Gary K. Fawver

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

For a number of years now, I have believed that informal and formal outdoor experiences built on a biblical knowledge base can be beneficial and should be purposely pursued throughout one's life. My intentions for a vocational ministry in the outdoors have been to reconnect people with the natural realm, to assist them in rediscovering the outdoors. In support of that, I conducted an action research project to demonstrate the benefits of God's natural world, the outdoors, in the lives of a select group of people through a five-day "immersion" in that outdoor environment. The outdoor setting became the mechanism …

The Anti-Theatrical Prejudice And The Quakers, Michael P. Graves

Truth's Bright Embrace: Essays and Poems in Honor of Arthur O. Roberts

Today's Quakers are considerably less "hard-shelled" and "mole-eyed" and there are signs on both sides of the Atlantic that the Society of Friends has made progress toward making peace with the theatre. Indeed, one could argue that the situation has changed radically in the last three hundred fifty years, but there remains an ambiguity at best, an antipathy at worst, between Quaker thought and the theatre. This topic is too broad to be encompassed within the limits of this essay, which can merely open doors slightly to a subject that should be treated in more depth at another time and …
