The Fur Trade Around Ft. Wayne, Winifred C. Craig

Graduate Thesis Collection

Two factors have contributed to the important position Ft. Wayne has occupied in the political and economic history of North America --- first, its location upon the "most famous portage in North America," and second, the great abundance of fur bearing animals found along the streams and in the forests of this region.

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

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

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

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

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 …

Liturgies And Hymnology In The American Lutheran Church Until 1820, H W. Romoser

Bachelor of Divinity

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.

A magazine destined to be an outstanding one in the field of children's literature was put before the public in December 1873. "St. Nicholas," Scribner's illustrated for girls and boys, first entered the homes during the month when the coming of its namesake is awaited eagerly. The first issue introduces itself in these words.

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

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 …

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.

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 …

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.

Modernism And Graphic Arts, Frank L. Vander Heiden

Bachelors’ Theses

Spiritism, Ralph B. Lenz

Bachelors’ Theses

In the study of modern Spiritism, one is face to face with a huge collection of facts, phenomena, theories, and frauds. To sift the worthwhile grains of truth from this heap is really a difficult task. Countless books and pamphlets there are in existence today that give us all manner of information relative to Spiritism. They contain descriptions and explanations of the various phenomena produced at sceances; they put forth the religious doctrines of the Spiritists; they expose fraudulent practices at tires; and usually they advance a few theories on the subject.

The Magazine In America Before 1850, Domingo J. Thill

Bachelors’ Theses

The magazine in America has never been made a subject of exhaustive and definite research. Though the study is interesting and informative few have cared to resign themselves to it because of the evidently meager returns and the scarcity of accurate material. An occasional remark concerning the DIAL or the NORTH AMERICAN REVIEW is all that is heard about the magazines previous to 1850. The trials and tortures of the magazines and their sponsors have been forgotten more readily than is deserved. This essay-thesis attempts to bring back to the attention of the reader the problems and misfortunes that confronted …

Effective Editorials, Leonard Scheller

Bachelors’ Theses

During the last fifty years journalism has seen a steady decline of the influence of the editorial. The golden age of the editorial existed during the Civil War period, at the time when journalism was still personal instead of institutional as it is today. Among the writers of that period were Horace Greeley, Charles A. Dana, Henrey J. Raymond, Joseph Medill and Henry Watterson. These writers were specially effective because they enjoyed a nation-wide reading public due to the fact that the west and the middle west were still undeveloped regions for leadership in thought they turned to the writers …

The Development Of English Grammar From 1750 To 1929, Helen Kathryn Walsh

Bachelors’ Theses

For some time I have been interested in the subject of Grammar. A generation ago, it was considered one of the most important subjects in the elementary schools. But now, grammar is a thing one teaches only incidentally. What has brought this change? What is the situation to-day? What may we hope for in the future? These are some of the questions which need to be answered. The pendulum has indeed swung far out into empty space. It surely must return. Will we be able to stop it midway in its course?

Optimism Versus Pessimism, James F. Chapman

Bachelors’ Theses

All that promotes success, welfare, or happiness is included in the ideal good. If human beings value their lives and the lives of others; take pride in development and progress-in short, if they consider life worth living, as good, as the best thing for them; they nay be called optimists.

Genesis, Development And Progress Of The United Church Of Canada, Dougald K. Mccoll

There is an almost universal demand in Christendom for a union of churches, which will, in some way, give stability and visibility to the unity of all Christians. Throughout the world there are new movements toward unity.
