William Watts Hart Davis In New Mexico, Robert D. Hepler

History ETDs

In the study of New Mexico's history for the period 1850 to 1860, many references to William Watts Hart Davis are found. His book, El Gringo, is as much quoted source for information of that decade. But, actually, there seems to be little known of the man, aside from his literary works. It is the purpose of this study to bring forth a few facts regarding Davis' residence in the Territory of New Mexico.

Davis' experiences on his journey to New Mexico, his observations of the inhabitants and their customs, and his duties as Attorney-General are incorporated in this thesis. …

The Community Of Mullinville, Kansas (1870-1900), Marilla A. Alford

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

In this thesis I have attempted to preserve the heritage of the pioneers for the coming generations of the Mullinville Community . I have closed the main body of the thesis with the year 1900 because I feel that the last forty years are too close to the present to be discussed without prejudice and that the lives of my own family have been too closely connected with the history of the community for me to take an unbiased attitude. I trust that sometime later someone will pick up this history where I have left off and add more to …

A Critical Study Of The Plays Of Maxwell Anderson, Maurine Bergland

Master's Theses or Doctor of Nursing Practice

This thesis is a survey of the life and writings of American playwright Maxwell Anderson. He has made his place in the American theatre and in the higher theatres of dramatic poetry. His plays will live and in some measure accomplish that which he has set out to do, which was to make the American theatre a living thing, for he believes that only through its theatre will a nation be known in generations to come.

The Political Life Of Thomas Benton Catron, 1896-1921, Mary Sluga

History ETDs

Born and educated in Missouri, Thomas Benton Catron made his home in New Mexico from July, 1866, until his death in 1921. For approximately half a century he played an important role not only in the politics of the territory and state, but also in its business and professional life as well. The story of his varied activities is preserved in his letter books and scrap books, as well as in contemporary newspapers. No attempt will be made in this study to cover his whole career, but merely the latter part of his public life.

The Golden Age Of Lutheran Church Music, Walter Buszin

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

While the chief aim of this thesis is to give thought to the musical developments of the Golden Age of Lutheran Church Music, the writer will attempt also to present an account of the general background which is furnished not only by the cultural and political, but also by the ecclesiastical conditions of this period and the periods which preceded it. This is being done not only because the author sees fit to accept the dictum set forth by Egon Friedell, but also because he is firmly convinced that developments within the Golden Age of Lutheran Church Music will then …

Ideas Of Salvation Amoung The Chinese, Herbert Meyer

Master of Sacred Theology Thesis

We cannot in the scope of this paper present the peculiar characteristics of each sect or of all the various writings on the subject of salvation. We will content ourselves with studying the chief divergent ideas on salvation as we find these emphasized in certain sects or scriptures.

Dignified Methods Of Church Publicity, August Brustat

Bachelor of Divinity

Church publicity is an important phase of church work. It is the MEANS by which we call to the attention of immortal souls the truth of salvation in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Methods of church publicity are an important part of the curriculum of a theological Seminary. Prospective ministers of the Gospel will be greatly aided in their future parish duties if dignified ways and means of publicizing the Gospel are called to their attention in the course on Practical Theology.

Problems Of Contemporary Mexico As Seen In The Works Of Mariano Azuela, Jose Antonio Flores

Spanish and Portuguese ETDs

Relatively little has been written concerning Mariano Azuela and his works in comparison to critical material on Mexican authors. Since Azuela is the recognized novelist of the the Mexican Revolution, it is necessary that intimate acquaintance with the man and his works be made in order to understand the problems, feelings, and aspirations of the Mexican people immediately prior to and during the Revolution.

The aim of this thesis is to examine critically the novels of Azuela in view of the known facts of the Mexican Revolution principally as they touch upon the religious, social, economic, and political aspects.

The Pharisees, Henry Eggold

Bachelor of Divinity

I shall try to defend the view that the basic tenets of the Pharisees at the time of Christ, nationalism and legalism, are able to be traced through all the preceding generations as far back as the time of Ezra. The other material presented in "this paper is to serve the purpose of throwing this idea into bolder relief.

The Problem Of Infrequent Communion In The Missouri Synod, Herbert Kern

Bachelor of Divinity

A widespread neglect of the Lord's Supper exists in our Church. A number of years ago an editor of the "Lutheran Witness" wrote: "One of the alarming symptoms in the Church is the neglect of the Sacrament by so many members. "Recent Communion statistics offer positive proof that the Eucharist does not occupy that place in our congregational life which Christ clearly intended for it.

The History And Development Of The Tithe With Special Reference To Legalistic Aberrations, Otto Fink

Bachelor of Divinity

The author wishes to state that the Mosaic system of tithing has always puzzled him. It was not, however, until recent years that he began to take a deeper interest in the general subject of tithing. Due to the fact that many of our Lutheran pastors and layman are tithers, and due also to the fact that the scriptures speak so often of giving, he has taken this opportunity to investigate and trace the history and development of tithing from remote antiquity to the present day. The study is of inestimable value to him. It should be understood that no …

The Chief Heretical Groups Of The Early Church, Lewis Gerbhardt

Bachelor of Divinity

Peace and unity within the Church of the first and second century was an unattainable then as it is today. The early church experienced internal conflicts more trying than many of the persecutions and results fat more disastrous. Christianity had been given the world as the only true religion, the only religion professing Jesus Christ, the only name under heaven whereby salvation could be had. Many systems of religion and thought existed which likewise claimed to deal authoritatively with man and his soul, however conflicts between Christianity and these pagan beliefs were either short-lived or caused little opposition. The real …

The Mystical Union Of The Believer With Christ, Waldemar Streufert

Bachelor of Divinity

There is a certain restless dissatisfaction in man as he pursues his daily tasks and endeavors to enjoy his present life to the full. In the case of the believer, there is not this uncertainty and groping. But in the case of the unconverted, there is many a one who substitutes an “unknowab1e Infinity for the true God. Man will strive earnestly to satisfy his craving after the true Reality, but rarely, if ever, will he try to find the truth about God in His Word. Instead of this objective source, man seeks communion with nature and thus hopes to …

The Church And Its Battle With Gnosticism, Luther Koepke

Bachelor of Divinity

As we look at Gnosticism we find it a counterfeit of the true and Christ-founded Church. To the people living at the height of the Gnostic heresy this erroneous teaching and Christianity must have seemed similar. Similar terms, and similar concepts, but Gnosticism offering these by a different method. Gnosticism came in similar garb, offered like benefits, but gave soul-destroying results.

The Reformation In The Relation To Elementary Education, E P. Weber

Bachelor of Divinity

While here and there a practical deduction may be drawn, the one aim of this paper is to present from a historical angle the Reformation in its relation to elementary education. In order to limit ourselves to the requirements of a treatise of this sort, we shall refer for the most part only to the educational thoughts of the Reformation author, Martin Luther.

Bachelor of Divinity

The Catilinian Conspiracy : A Translation From French, Walter E. Bass

Master's Theses

Of all the characters of the Ancient World none is better known today, both to scholars and to those whose knowledge of that history is small, than Cicero; Statesman, Orator, and Author. And of all the achievements of that great man the most widely known is the part he took, in cooperation with the Senatorial party in crushing the Catilinian Conspiracy.

Despite the fact that this is his outstanding achievement, however, there is nowhere in English a full history of that period. In text books containing the orations of Cicero, will be found a chapter or so on the subject, …

The Reflection Of The United States Steel Corporation In America's Industrial Drama, Ethne Flanagan

Honors Theses

We need only to open our eyes and cast a glance about us to recognize that our modern twentieth century life is girded with steel. Steel is the very key product of the present era of the evolution of man. In the beginning it was stone, then bronze, and then iron, but today it is steel which conditions the industrialized political, economic, and social life of our country.

A History Of Gwathmey Baptist Church, R Stuart Grizzard

Honors Theses

Gwathmey Baptist Church has had a somewhat checkered career. As pointed out heretofore, the community has withered away; and there have been periods when the flame of existence all but petered out, only to be rekindled by some of the faithful, under the leadership of a man or woman who would take a deep interest in the church and devote patient effort and time to its resuscitation.

The Court Of Federigo Da Montefeltro Duke Of Urbino, Marjorie Batson Plume

Honors Papers

The character of this thesis has been controlled to a great extent by the material which has been available to me. My original intention had been to recreate a picture of the life in court during Federigo da Montefeltro's rule, to describe the fabric of the building, its decorations and furnishings and the people who frequent it. I found, however, after I had begun my research that much of the material which I needed was either non-existent or unavailable.

In the following chapters I have tried to bring out the important role which the court of Urbino played in the …
