The art of a country, like the character of the inhabitants, belongs to the nature of the land. The climate, the scenery, the contrasts of each country, all clothe the artistic impulse as diversely as they clothe the people themselves. A burly, florid Teuton in his furs and jewellery, and a lithe brown Indian in his waist-cloth, would each look entirely absurd in the other’s dress. There is no question of which dress is intrinsically the best in the world; each is relatively the best for i...

In considering the history of any people, one of the main elements is that of their status. What were their abilities and how were they shown? What permanent mark did they make on their period? How did they stand in reference to their neighbours, in the same country and in other countries? There are now Jews in Lemberg and Jews in Paris; but how entirely differently we regard them, because of their status. How utterly diverse is the mark left on the world by the men of mind, by Isaiah or A...

We believe that a proper understanding of the teachings of Jesus, the Apostles, and the Grace Apostle Paul requires all Christians to oppose not only personal violence towards one another, but institutional violence such as war and capital punishment. We instead promote our own understanding of Christian Pacifism, which centers on the unconditional love of our enemies. Paul instructed followers of Jesus to "Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, ...

When three witches tell general Macbeth that one day he'll be the next king of Scotland, that prophesy will send him spiraling into a vortex of madness and murder. Torn between his conscience and his lust for power, he sets out on a path that will cost him everything he holds dear. The allure of the crown does not taste so sweet when you can't tell your friends from your enemies anymore. Blood will demand more blood.

In dealing with the subject of decorative art in Egypt, it is needful to begin by setting some bounds to a study which might be made to embrace almost every example of ancient work known to us in that land. The Egyptian treatment of everything great and small was so strongly decorative that it is hard to exclude an overwhelming variety of considerations. But here it is proposed to limit our view to the historical development of the various motives or elements of decoration. The larger ques...

In few kinds of work are the results so directly dependent on the personality of the worker as they are in excavating. The old saying that a man finds what he looks for in a subject, is too true; or if he has not enough insight to ensure finding what he looks for, it is at least sadly true that he does not find anything that he does not look for. Whether it be inscriptions, carvings, papyri, or mummies that excavators have been seeking, they have seldom preserved or cared for anything but ...

The tales of ancient Egypt have appeared collectively only in French, in the charming volume of Maspero's "Contes Populaires" ; while some have been translated into English at scattered times in volumes of the "Records of the Past." But research moves ...
