Life After Death, With Especial Stress On The Teachings Of Spiritism, Russellism, And Christian Science, Theo W. Brust

Bachelor of Divinity

There is no subject that has more persistently occupied the mind of man than that of his state in the future world. A true understanding of this question involves man's happiness not only hereafter, but also here. It implies, of course, an "after death", or that death does not end all.

The Attitude Of The Lutheran Church Of The 16th And 17th Centuries Towards Missions, Herbert H. Umbach May 1929

The Attitude Of The Lutheran Church Of The 16th And 17th Centuries Towards Missions, Herbert H. Umbach

Bachelor of Divinity

In this thesis it shall be our aim to see on the basis of the facts at hand what really was the sentiment of the 16th and l7th. century Lutheran Church as regards the sphere of missions. And of course, in the treatment of a subject like this, aiming at a presentation of historic facts, there is but little room for originality. I have not, therefore, sought so much to be original as to be truthful, and have endeavored to gather from every accessible source all such historic data as tended to establish the object in view. The old principle …

Public Opinion In Germany On The Papacy And The Hierarchy During The Fourteenth Century And The Early Conciliar Period, R Nordsieck May 1929

Public Opinion In Germany On The Papacy And The Hierarchy During The Fourteenth Century And The Early Conciliar Period, R Nordsieck

Bachelor of Divinity

A thorough understanding of public opinion on the medieval ecclesiastical system is of great importance for the proper interpretation of the events leading up to the Reformation. The necessity of this becomes more apparent when we consider the vital position of the Church in the medieval system and the direct and immediate bearing it had on the daily pursuits, welfare, and happiness of the peoples of Western Europe not only as members of the Church, the Alleinseligmachende, but also as subjects of actual or, at least, theoretical feudal fiefs of the Apostolic See.

The Divine Call Of The Christian Minister, W F. Bruening May 1929

The Divine Call Of The Christian Minister, W F. Bruening

Bachelor of Divinity

Why could Paul tell Timothy, "If a man desire the office of a bishop he desireth a good work"? There must be a very good reason why he mentions this office as especially desirable in preference to other honorable vocations. Indeed, he did have a good reason, for Paul is not here voicing his own personal opinion, but he is writing what the Holy Spirit prompted him to say. It is God himself who is here speaking. It is He who shows us in in His Word why this office is of such great value and consequently to be desired.

The Virgin Birth Of Christ, Edgar Reinhold Pflug

Bachelor of Divinity

It shall be our object to trace the history of the controversy over this doctrine from its very beginnings to the present time; to state briefly and to refute the arguments of the opposition; and finally to search out the true Biblical version of the Lord’s birth, of which we are confident that it will also be the view upheld by the Lutheran Church from its very inception.

The Idea Of God In 20th Century Philosophy, Frederick C. Stein May 1929

The Idea Of God In 20th Century Philosophy, Frederick C. Stein

Bachelor of Divinity

What a hodge-podge! What god-makers our 20th century philosophers are! When revealed religion is condemned to the rubbish heap and modem philosophes relie solely upon their intellect, senses, experiences, nature, etc., what unimaginable and ofttimes unintelligible ideas of God do they not create for themselves. We are inclined to exclaim with Pyrrho, who lived 365 before the time of Christ or twenty years after the birth of Aristotle, “There are no two schools of philosophy that agree upon the essential problems. Speculation brings us only trouble and uncertainty and involves us in endless contradiction. Abandon barren speculation and - instead …

The Relation Of The Bean Thrips Heliothrips Fasciatus Pergande To The Non-Setting Of Fruit, Clifton H. Smith May 1929

The Relation Of The Bean Thrips Heliothrips Fasciatus Pergande To The Non-Setting Of Fruit, Clifton H. Smith

Biology

The great losses in bean production in the vicinity of Logan during the summer of 1928, brought about an investigation as to the cause for such losses. In some fields there was a total loss of the crop while in others the injury was less severe. An examination of the infested plants showed that the flowers had withered and fallen, and the leaves were drying up and would fall at the slightest touch. This condition was uncommon in this region and its cause unknown. However, it was noted that on plants where this condition occurred numerous small thrips were present …

The Growth And Development Of Ephestia Kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera) And Tribolium Confusum Duval (Coleoptera) Under Controlled Conditions Of Temperature And Relative Humidity, Tom A. Brindley May 1929

The Growth And Development Of Ephestia Kuehniella Zeller (Lepidoptera) And Tribolium Confusum Duval (Coleoptera) Under Controlled Conditions Of Temperature And Relative Humidity, Tom A. Brindley

Biology

The confused flour beetle (Tribolium confusum Duval) and Mediterranean flour moth (Ephestia kuehniella Zeller) have long been recorded as serious pests of stored grain products (Riley. 1839, Chittenden 1896). In recent years they have served as very valuable material for laboratory experiments on insect nutrition (Chapman 1924, Richardson 1926). In spite of the economic and scientiric importance of these two insects the writer could find little detailed information on their growth and development under carefully controlled conditions of temperature and relative hunidity, on a normal whole weat diet. This investigation is a study of the growth and development …

Dramatic Criticism: Its Place In The American Theater And A Discussion Of Its Exponents, Rowena M. Devine May 1929

Dramatic Criticism: Its Place In The American Theater And A Discussion Of Its Exponents, Rowena M. Devine

Bachelors’ Theses

Criticism is as essential to the theater as it is to literature, art or music. It is a connecting link between the theater and the theater-goer. Most authorities today concede that without criticism the theater would wane in popularity.

The Geography Of The Psalms, Alexander Heidel May 1929

The Geography Of The Psalms, Alexander Heidel

Bachelor of Divinity

This, however, is an entirely wrong conception. And it is the first object of this paper to show that the O. T. people by no means possessed such a limited knowledge of geography, but, on the contrary, were acquainted with a surprisingly large part of the known world. We shall not avail ourselves of all the different places and peoples mentioned in the various books of the O .T., but we shall rather confine ourselves to one book of the O.T. Scripture, and that is not even historical, much less geographical, but a devotional book, the hymnal and prayer book …

Agnosticism, Ruth Agnes Grant May 1929

Agnosticism, Ruth Agnes Grant

Bachelors’ Theses

Even in poetry is the existence of God proclaimed. Even in song are his praises sung. Millions of dollars are spent yearly erecting temples in his honor. Thousands of young men and women dedicate their lives to his service. Untold sacrifices are made in his name! In whose name? For whose service? Why, it is in the name, and for the service of that great infinite God who is the uncaused, first cause of all reality that began to be. Shall I tell these people that they are unreasonable, that there are acting in an illogical, irrational manner by serving …

Continuity In Editorial Policies Of Modern Newspapers, Al Jay M. Gee May 1929

Continuity In Editorial Policies Of Modern Newspapers, Al Jay M. Gee

Bachelors’ Theses

Much criticism of newspapers has been on the accusation of lacking courage to carry through editorial opinion on a subject open to argument. It is not unusual, the denouncers say, to see a newspaper change its policy or retreat from its hold merely because of fear of opposition and adverse comment. The newspaper fears it will lose readers if it opposes their views, these critics claim.

Echoes Of Horace In English Literature Or The Influence Of The Ars Poetica On The Essay Of Criticism, M. Francis Slattery May 1929

Echoes Of Horace In English Literature Or The Influence Of The Ars Poetica On The Essay Of Criticism, M. Francis Slattery

Bachelors’ Theses

Since the Renaissance, Horace has continued to exercise a wide influence on the poetry of all modern nations, and especially on the poetry of England. Even before the Renaissance, in the poetry of Chaucer, we find at least a few traces of Horace - and these few from his didactic works which seem to have been the only part of his works that were then in much repute.

Public Opinion, John Joseph Shinners May 1929

Public Opinion, John Joseph Shinners

Bachelors’ Theses

"The people at large," said Aristotle, "how contemptible so ever they may appear when taken individually, are yet, when collectively considered, not, perhaps, unworthy of sovereignty." For, "considered collectively," he argued, "the people form a complex animal with many feet, with many virtues; each member contributing something, more or less valuable, to the perfection of the whole body. The moral and intellectual excellence of the multitude thus differs from those of a wise and virtuous man, as the beaty of a fine picture from beauty of individuals."

The Romantic Movement Of The Nineteenth Century In Its Relation To The French Spirit, Clarence R. Wilkinson May 1929

The Romantic Movement Of The Nineteenth Century In Its Relation To The French Spirit, Clarence R. Wilkinson

Bachelors’ Theses

Recently some prominent German stated that our literature of to-day is cheapened, because of the vast quantities of it now printed. Ever since the invention of the printing-press made possible a wider and less expensive circulation of reading material, there has been an ever-increasing supply of printed matter. Owing to the continually-growing circle of readers, whose demands vary, there have been found writers who would cater to the lower tastes which are lurking in the nature of every man, but which the well-balanced individual crushes with the heel of his will-power. Coupled with the productions of other authors, those of …

News Services Of The Community Newspaper, Rupert J. Mulchaey May 1929

News Services Of The Community Newspaper, Rupert J. Mulchaey

Bachelors’ Theses

In the development of contemporary American life with its Main Streets and Babbitts has come the in vitable passing of the country printer-edit-or who served in every capacity necessitated by his business. Today, such significant changes have occurred in the field of community journalism that instead of the traditional country printer-editor we perceive a new enlightened era in which the community newspaper rises out of lethargy to new importance beside the best of city dailies. Just as the development of American rural life has been something which we might attribute to education it is also plausible for us to credit …

A Critical Study Of The Spirit And Ideas Of Anglo-Saxon Poetry, Edna Louise Goeden May 1929

A Critical Study Of The Spirit And Ideas Of Anglo-Saxon Poetry, Edna Louise Goeden

Bachelors’ Theses

A study of Anglo-Saxon poetry is necessarily limited. The centuries which have elapsed since these poems were first set down, the ravages of war, of fire, and especially of ignorant men have served to destroy most of this early English literature. Moreover, much of that which has come down to us is fragmentary and incomplete.
