The proof text of bringing the tithe to the Temple is then quoted and the interpretation of the latter part of the verse by Rami bar Rabh is added, not because this is at all relevant to the discussion but because it was a familiar interpretation which had become so well known that it was invariably quoted whenever the... | |
The urge came from a conference of activists of Nkrumah's Convention Party "after powerful addresses by Comrades Krobo Edusei, Tawia Adamafio," and others. Strong deeds followed strong words. In Takoradi a "limited state of emergency" was declared, giving the Government adequate power to maintain al... | |
But there is heart in the telling, and an intense realism in the situation. A young girl lives in a single dingy room with her slatternly, promiscuous mother. In such surroundings she learns sex is something sordid, and when she experiences it for the first time herself it is incoherently, clumsily, but half shyly and ... | |
This week of window dressing will not prevent most of the hopeful 15-year-olds leaving school in six weeks time from ending up in blind alley jobs. It needs more than 10,000 church parades and open days at techs, more than descents into Brighton's sewers or balloon ascents over Wolverhampton for Britain's technical tra... | |
She was most emphatically opposed to the production of sheer indelicacies, and that was the light in which she saw the proposed book by Dallas. Letters between a mother and a son - a son so outspoken and a mother so far from suitable to be paraded before the public! And brought out by that seedy poor relation, Dallas! ... | |
So once again the metaphysics were depressing, and in absolute contrast to the physical display. Mos have an un-American love of parades, and these young ones, on parade for jobs which they had to get to pay off their college bills, were naturally putting their best foot forward. | |
She shrugged her shoulders, and replied in the same language: 'Yes. But make it worth her while.' 'I see. I know how to deal with people like that,' and turning to the cowering Lucia, he spoke in her own language. 'Do you know who I am?' 'No, signor,' she whispered. 'I am the Orsini. My word is law in Rome.' | |
Only the old man's room was too much for her. Once she put her head round the door, and Sam shouted: "You get right out of this, Rose. You leave me in peace." Rose took one breath of the stagnant air. "You - you polecat!" she screeched, and retreated without argument. Her re*? 2gime, hated alike by ... | |
At the present time in most of the towns the waiting period has tended to grow, partly because the buoyancy of industry generates increasing demands, partly because in recent years the pressure on the building industry, the shortage of bricks and other materials, and the shortage of skilled labour, especially in the fi... | |
"Gubbins? Gubbins?" he fretted. "Who's he?" Though Diana knew the name of every member of the staff, distinguished or not, Nigel often had to think hard to sort them out. "He's the carrotty lad, isn't he?" he now demanded. "What was he doing at the Load of Trouble?" | |
They had been married for six years, but the salary raise, on the expectation of which they had done so, had not materialised. "Do you know, I had to send back our bedroom furniture in the second year," she moaned. She had contacts in political circles, a school- friend of hers having married Lester Peron, a ... | |
There have been many conflicting tendencies in psychology in its search for ultimate units and here we can only indicate what seems to be the most promising concept which is current today. It is known as the schema. It is not an easy concept and if I try to make it concrete it will be at the cost of over-simplification... | |
'What a frightful event!' he wrote. 'I tremble! What infatuation! Personally I am indifferent, but I really tremble for my country! I may be mistaken, 1tho' I cannot but fear that the exasperation of the People will be so great at the return of Ultratoryism, that the Commons House upon a dissolution, which must be had,... | |
But this time there was a very interesting attempt to apply a sliding scale to the payments demanded. The definition of an adult was altered to read 'over sixteen', and, where the poorest were to pay a groat, the Duke of Lancaster and the Archbishops of Canterbury and York were to pay ten marks, and between these two e... | |
There were few passengers on the plane and Gavin was quickly through the customs. "Gay!" "Gavin!" The girl and her luggage had disappeared and they were alone together. The porter brought Gavin's bag out to the taxi. "Just a moment, darling," Gavin pressed her hand and smiled. "I want... | |
Soon they were good enough to sing at meetings. One of the helpful by-products was that they were able to obtain some respectable clothing, with which they wore a white tie and Red Flag badge, thus presenting a much better appearance. Later, on many a sunny Sunday evening, when George went to speak at Malin Bridge, the... | |
Londoners not in housing need, # but whose departure from London may be assumed to release accommodation there, are recruited for jobs which cannot be filled through the industrial # selection scheme, and only as a last resort are people from outside London allotted new town houses. As a result, almost 80 per cent of t... | |
All this has been achieved through Nato under American leadership. But a big role has been played not only by the British Government but by Right-Wing Labour in this country. They have helped build up Nato and rearm Western Germany, in pursuit of the old familiar anti-Soviet policy which brought disaster in 1939. | |
"No, it wouldn't!" he almost snapped, surprising her. "You sounded like some- body else for a moment there. It doesn't become you to behave like a - a tart, Di." "Nigel - !" she gasped. "I didn't mean to behave like anything of the kind. I was only joking." "Well, don't. It's miserable enough my having to take my leave... | |
'Why don't you give them something to play with?' 'They've found their own toy,' said Ormston, 'and this is it. They want to abstain next week.' The Prime Minister continued in his flippant tone, 'Tell the Chief to give them a talking-to.' The Chancellor closed his eyes, and then said, | |
Well, the Rev. Edwards had taken command. "Our position," he said, "is somewhat analogous to that of a castaway on a desert island. Now what does such a person do? He signals his position by lighting bonfires or hoisting a flag on a palm tree. And he tries to ensure a supply of food." | |
More modest premises are provided on the upper floors over shops in some of the town centres for the small type of office organisation. Government departments with branches established or about to be established in the new towns include Her Majesty's Stationery Office at Basildon, the Meteorological Office at Bracknell... | |
"After a lifetime of helping others and healing the sick, my considered opinion is that anybody supporting the increased charges is a wicked, old -." Mr. Brown went on: "We are dealing with a noble edifice which needs an imaginative architect to improve it, but it has got a quantity surveyor. We have des... | |
When the sailing season was past, he sent Pearl back to England, and returned to Rome for the # winter. In late November, he was 'suffering as usual', but hoped, he told Arthur, 'to find this place agree with me better than Naples. The journey has been against me, as there has been much rain and damp, but the temperatu... | |
Who are they? The trade union officials of Britain. Men who earn only a fraction of what their talents and responsibilities could bring in the open labour market. The unions are fortunate indeed to find dedicated leaders at cut-rate prices. But it is time the members decided to pay up and be good employers. THE Labour ... | |
In any case, fahrenheit need not lose heart. Once before, and that not so long ago, the authorities ganged up to alter the habits of the people. That effort was to enforce the adoption of the twenty-four hour clock. Then, also, the B.B.C. were roped in. The only result was that the well-meaning corporation became very ... | |
(In this strike, as reported in the Sheffield Guardian in March of that year, 1,000,000 men were out a fortnight, disciplined and solid, when only 20 per cent of them stood to gain anything from the strike and the other 80 per cent made sacrifices for their fellow men; this remarkable strike raised the question of a li... | |
Last year saw the defeat of two Conservative provincial governments, Quebec and New Brunswick, and in the four federal by-elections last October the party fared badly. They are now faced with four other by- elections, one at Esquimalt Saanich, British Columbia, one in Leeds, Ontario, and the other two in the Maritimes ... | |
Each size of hook is made for use with a certain size of thread. To ensure the correct results, it is important that you use the size of hook specified in the directions. These are the correct numbers to use with Mercer-Crochet: Directions are given for a small practice piece for each stitch that you learn. When you ha... | |
There can be little doubt that if the Thetans discover our mental independence they will promptly give us their hypnotic treatment. If we can avoid undue prominence, it may be that we can move about pretty freely without detection. If we can - well, then we may be able to promote our own interests. What those interests... | |
But 6,000 miles seems a heck of a way to go for a new hit song. He might be well advised to think hard and long before his next jump into the Hollywood arena. VERDICT: Vaughan should have by-passed this approach. RONALD Lewis has just left for his first taste of the Hollywood treatment, thanks to a sound performance in... | |
They only worked, of course, a five- day week so that in the first week Monday to Friday were days one to five of the timetable, the following Monday was day six and Tuesday started day one again and so on. By this means they avoided each week being the same with a pupil knowing exactly what the subject would be on Fri... | |
'In that case,' he reverted to French, 'I shall be obliged to lift you from the coach.' Without answering him, she rose, and bending over the agitated girl, said softly: 'No one will harm you, Lucia. Remain here.' Ignoring his proffered hand, she stepped from the vehicle. 'Will you be so good as to order your men not t... | |
(Just how the seine ropes do this is not yet proved; it may be by actual contact, or by sight reaction to the disturbed sand; or even in the case of flat fish, by vibrations through or along the bottom.) But given such a bow wave of disturbance, it is obvious that without something to overcome its effect, very few fish... | |
There was a computed 8.4 per cent. swing towards the Nationalist party of Dr. Verwoerd, the Prime Minister. This implies the dis- appearance of the Progressive party from the House. Early results in yesterday's general election showed Nationalists being returned in their strongholds, like Bloem- fontein and the Transva... | |
Prince Souvanna's former Minister of Information, Mr. Quinim Pholsena, who claims to be his representative in Laos, yesterday addressed all officers of the pro-communist forces occupying the province of Xieng Khouang and emphasized that Prince Souphannouvong, leader of the pro-communist Neo Lao Haksat Party, also to th... | |
In April of that year his first wife's brother-in-law, the diplomatist Lord Ponsonby, had written to advise Angle- sey to give the system a trial, adding that it was being cultivated with extraordinary success in France and Italy, and that he himself was being treated under a doctor who had studied under its founder, t... | |
Bone walked down the road, his cre*? 5pe-soled shoes making no sound on the asphalt surface. As he walked he concentrated on the problem of Stevie Hewitt. By comparison with the manner in which he had dispatched Henry Mansell the elimination of a little spiv from Brighton seemed an easy undertaking... once he'd set his... | |
Arguably, the dramatist has committed a technical error in allowing Irene to speak for herself; we would be altogether clearer in our minds about her if she remained a flawed but beautiful enigma, seen but not heard. However, Miss Pinkie Johnstone makes her few brief scenes effective, and Mr. Dinsdale Landen, in the lo... | |
It was the battered and broken body of a woman. He sent word straight away to near-by Merstham Station, and a stretcher party took the body to the Feathers Hotel to await identification. Was it a case of suicide, where some unhappy soul had walked deliberately into the blackness and into the path of some train? This ha... | |
The two-twenty to Llangrwl has failed to complete her mission." Paled, did Dai. For the two-twenty carried, for him, a cargo more precious than jewels. Though Mofydd Owen was, as he feared, departed out of his life, he still loved her dearly. Already, even as with trembling fingers he fastened his trouser clips, h... | |
'I will leave you the necessary pre- scription for the sedatives. You will contact your new doctor when you reach your parents' house.' She watched him flick his fountain-pen from his waistcoat pocket, take out his # prescription pad, and # scribble on it. Then, with a gesture she knew so well, he tore off the leaflet ... | |
The probe can be evacuated and filled with inert gas via the tube L which must of course be electrically isolated after this has been carried out. It is not suggested that the above proposal will be successful but rather that it is worth a trial in the event of the inadequacy of some simpler method of monitoring the ox... | |
Each time you rehearse you will probably put things in a different way. All the better! - it will sound much more spontaneous on the occasion itself. Remember your four names - have the list with you if you like - and you simply can't be flummoxed! Of course, in any speech a good start and a good finish are half the ba... | |
Haris had trampled on his. It was unthinkable! 'You see. You needed them no more. You are still young. You may be able to have babies. Some of those babies may be born with wings.' The Captive with the boneless arms added, 'Some may be born wrong, as we are. Some may be born right.' | |
"After long and earnest consideration, Her Majesty's Government have come to the conclusion that it would be right for Britain to make a formal application.. for negotiations with a view to joining the Community." At this point, Mr. Paul Williams (Cons., Sunderland) called out "Shame." Mr. Williams ... | |
Nobody's going to shove 2ole Uncle Sam around!" He then took out a piece of paper, wrote his address on it and added: "Anybody mucking the Yanks about had better call on me first. I won't stand for it." Exit a puzzled American. The other incident occurred in the boat-train from Cherbourg to Paris. | |
When the sailing season was past, he sent Pearl back to England, and returned to Rome for the winter. In late November, he was 'suffering as usual', but hoped, he told Arthur, 'to find this place agree with me better than Naples. The journey has been against me, as there has been much rain and damp, but the temperature... | |
It is not easy to make an economic comparison between clay pots and the various substitutes; the former may last indefinitely with luck, while the latter are often expendable used only once. Clay pots are efficient and congenial containers in which to grow plants. In their proper setting they are not unattractive and, ... | |
Only Mr. Lucas's actions, therefore, arose explicably from appreciable motives. The rest, one feels, were driven to effective action by the author in spite of the ineffectuality with which he had endowed them. One hopes that he is not asking us to believe that, because of their odd accents, they act oddly like the quee... | |
With Grace helpless Rose set up her own autocracy. Her squeaking, querulous accents were heard without inter- mission. They rose over the baby's inter- minable howling and were directed at everyone in equal measure. She was a poor and unpunctual cook. Normally indolent, she was now and again seized with unpredictable b... | |
On the specific question of the use of Blue Streak, Mr. Thorneycroft's task will be easier. He can point out that this is the only rocket and launcher in Europe to have reached a sufficient stage of development for adaptation as the first stage in putting a heavy satellite into outer space. There has also been some tal... | |
Although his ideas were diametrically opposed to those of parsons he got on wonderfully well with them, particularly those who, like the Rev. Conrad Noel, the eloquent leader of the Church Socialist League, genuinely advocated socialism. With such men, who had the courage of their convictions and their Christianity, co... | |
Or when he found cock-fighting going on in church? Laud made a positive approach. He set out to increase a sense of reverence. The Prayer Book was to be respected and so was the office of a bishop. Altars should be altars and not any broken down, transportable table which was handy for the most improbable uses. | |
CONTRAST his firm, successful rule in Rhodesia with what has happened in the Congo. There Welensky's opponents have carried their theories into practice. There a UNO army of Africans, bossed by an Indian, has been in charge for months. And what has it made of the Congo? A bloodstained shambles. No wonder Welensky has l... | |
But he said discussions "on a higher level than in the past" might be useful. The President will probably discuss the problem with Dr. Brentano, the West German Foreign Minister, who is due in Washington next week. A big slice of Germany's "aid" # is the early payment of a 210million debt to America... | |
Life at home and in Bath had been a trifle too comfortable and humdrum. He'd never before met a pressman and found him curiously stimulating. "You're a bit of a humorist, aren't you?" said Bawley. "The truth is usually very embarra- ssing. You're in submarines, aren't you?" "You know a great deal about me," said John. | |
And so the inquest, which had dragged on, with adjournments, until April 7, finally had to be content to return a verdict of "wilful murder against some person or persons unknown." The most vital clue of the Wedgwood pestle had been of no assistance. The killer must have been very thankful that the science of... | |
Provided the temperatures at C and E are the same, thermoelectric contributions to the voltage should be zero. The probe extends out of the sodium stream through a close fitting thin walled T-Junction F and passes into the open via a water-cooled O ring seal G. The open end of the probe is sealed with a vacuum coupling... | |
Tonight, for the first time, he had abandoned all pretence and shown her the honest desperation of his feeling for her. She had neither encouraged nor completely rejected him. In some perverse way their brief quarrel had forged a bond between them. No doubt she had every intention of keeping both of them on a string. O... | |
"Neither can Nigel," smiled Diana. "He's saving up to get married. Remember?" "I remember," quipped the houseman, meaning no offence, "but does he? That blonde was something." "Anybody I know?" she smiled. "I think so. I got a good look at her. But if Nigel wasn't ... | |
This should strengthen the campaign to end the manufacture and use of nuclear weapons in Britain. Britain then could play a leading and independent role for an international agreement to ban all nuclear strategy and weapons of mass destruction, and lay the basis for real peace and progress. WHEN all the ballyhoo about ... | |
There is a possibility that it will not be settled at this conference. It may be agreed to wait until South Africa actually becomes a Republic later in the year. But if a final decision is to be faced now, on which side do the strongest arguments lie? THE Archbishop of Capetown has shown that the matter is not clear-cu... | |
A great deal of modern furniture has tapered legs, and in reproduction period pieces they are frequently used. The simpler varieties are extremely easy to work, the four sides being simply planed to give the required taper. In the more elaborate varieties, however, a toe is worked in the solid, and this certainly compl... | |
Not so dusty, she might say afterwards, drawing at a cigarette. It's a wow! he said. She kissed him motherly: You just wait till you teach the girl you really love. He didn't protest any more to say he loved her because he knew it to be untrue. Instead he said: Will that be better? She nodded: | |
Meanwhile I had been asked to do a bit of Diocesan work in connection with Higher Religious Education, and to become the Southwark Secretary of the Church Reading Union. This meant organizing lectures and courses of religious instruction through the Diocese, and I also found myself a member of the Diocesan Conference, ... | |
Remember that texture plays an important part in the beauty of crochet. The finer mercerised threads are more effective for the delicate designs used for tablecloths, doilies, edgings and accessories, while the heavier threads are used for bedspreads, chairbacks, luncheon mats, etc. Crochet hooks are made of steel, com... | |
This emphasis on the legality of the former Government suggests that all is not well with the political and military leadership of the pro-communists. Most of the province of Xieng Khouang and the tactically useful Plain of Jars, however, appear still to be firmly in their hands. The Government has claimed the recaptur... | |

From being an assembler in an aircraft factory to becoming a paint sprayer in a ceramic factory, he can be qualified for a completely new job in less time than it takes to say "Tolpuddle Martyrs!" "CRICKET," says the Oxford Dictionary, is "an open air game played with ball, bats and wickets bet... | |
MR. IAIN MACLEOD, the Colonial Secretary, denied in the Commons last night that there have been secret negotiations on Northern Rhodesia's future. The Northern Rhodesia conference in London has been boycotted by the two main settlers' parties - the United Federal Party and the Dominion Party. But representatives of Sir... | |
This surprising statement was a sharp about- face from his warnings during the Presidential election campaign. He claimed slackness in the Eisenhower Administration had caused America to lag behind Russia in nuclear development. President Kennedy did his best to avoid giving Pressmen a direct answer. George Brown CHILD... | |
He was able to pick out towns, unrecognisable to the naked eye, obscured by the ground haze which even on the clearest night limited angular vision. He glanced at the speed recorder. It seemed almost incredible that the tiny white figure of 8.5 against which the needle was resting could really mean hundreds of knots. | |
Each census since the first in 1801 has included questions about housing and households. In 1961 the scope of the question was wider than before, because of the great use of the data to the Ministry of Housing and Local Government and to local authorities. As before, the record made during the enumeration lists all bui... | |
Conservatives protested when Mr. Gaitskell said he had been told this "by some # people of considerable authority," he retorted. "I agree with the Prime Minister that I do not think we are necessarily bound for federalism in Europe," he went on. | |
This director is at last being re-evaluated and given his proper place in the history of the German film. Most charming was his tongue-in-cheek "Unheimliche Geschichten" (1920), five ghost stories with a light touch, and there was much to admire in "Dreyfus" (1930) and the virtually unknown but extr... | |
"Ever been to Fleet Street?" asked Bawley. "You should. Next time you're in Town give me a ring at this number and I'll take you round the pubs where most of the work is done." He held out a card. John took it and put it in his pocket. "Thanks," he said. "If ever my missus lets me off... | |
He didn't know what to make of it, but it was Mr. Copthorne all right. Perhaps he had been attending some kind of fancy dress do in London. Very strange his eyes looked. Mad, hunted eyes, as if the poor fellow had rocks in his head, so the verger described afterwards. "You're very early about, sir," he said, ... | |
The weekend conference for the men and their wives, which takes place at company expense in a country or resort hotel, includes an address on 'The Woman's Point of View' and one on 'Making the Most of Health'. Separate discussions are arranged for the wives in addition to the plenary sessions. Of the men reaching fifty... | |
Sentence Database Yet in spite of the fact that his ideas did his business no good George would never conceal them. He was a socialist and believed in the right of the working class to control their own destiny, and said so. Being a craftsman and a skilled man, George won many prizes, and though some people would have ... | |
The small rocket craft, for destroying big ships, are controlled automatically, even to the preparations for launching their rockets. Applauding on the river banks at Leningrad were thousands now told that in 20 years they will have free food, housing, light, heat, transport and medical treatment - all for a working we... | |
Of over 7,000,000 square feet of factory space built by the development corporations, about 20 per cent represents extensions built after the firms had become established. It is the policy of the corporations to charge full rack- rents or ground rents for their factories or industrial sites; and rents vary considerably... | |

This seemed to infuriate Mr. Fell even more. "I cannot be told to sit down by the Prime Minister." Protests had been expected from Tory rebels. But Mr. Fell's attack was unprecedented. He accused the Prime Minister of "political double talk." "It had the effect on one former supporter that he n... | |
Only the weights of the recovered lead chromate precipitates need be known because the concentration of the lead carrier solution cancels out of the algebraic equations. An effort was made to detect the presence of any radioactive impurities in the tracer by separating the lead-210 and the bismuth-210 by anion exchange... | |
Mr. Brown, passionate and warm-hearted, led Labour's attack on the higher health charges. Mr. Powell, white-faced and outwardly unemotional, replied with a statistical state- ment - and ended by inciting Labour M Ps to angry uproar. One dealt with the human issue behind the Health Service; the other tried to show that ... | |

A guard reported that at East Croydon he had seen what was accepted as the same couple sitting close together in a first-class compartment of the train from London Bridge of which he was in charge. The two could have joined this train by taking one from Victoria and changing at East Croydon. He also believed that they ... | |
God grant, however, that I may be a false prophet & that all may go well. Sir R. Peel was here, I understand, but an express took him off yesterday.' While he was in Naples there had opened a new chapter in the history of Anglesey's unceasing search for an effective alleviation of his painful malady. None of the nu... | |
Mr. Bryan Stonehouse's production is quietly effective, giving full value to the formal elements of Betti's writing without over-emphasizing them.

Cut out the bottom and sides accurately from the plan measurements but leave sufficient margin for planing after fixing to the boat. Use your two lengths of 8 ft. by 4 ft. ply for this purpose, the sides from one, and the bottom from the other. If care is taken not to waste the ply, plenty of material is left over for ... | |
Kitty encourages him, too. No work, no background, no regular money so far as I can make out. Probably on the crook. But there you are, the girl's wild and headstrong. I can't do nothing with 'er.'

In view of its well-known normal migration, the occurrence of Calanus finmarchicus in the summer at the surface in bright sunlight may justly be considered anomalous. This phenomenon has nevertheless been recorded many times, and such surface Calanus may be present in enormous numbers, breaking the surface into small c... | |
Social service as a function of government was quite alien to mediaeval thought - its substitute was the mutual self-help of communities, whether those communities were monasteries, manors, townships, or wards and guilds of a city. A mediaeval tax was therefore in essence a forced payment whose return was the uncertain... | |
Navigator Sid is a tower of strength when newly-weds Ian Carmichael and Janette Scott let loose their ancient houseboat on a honeymoon trip down the river. The film starts off brightly enough but, half-way through, the plot (as well as the boat) springs a near-disastrous leak. Familiar members of Britain's repertory te... | |
Anyhow, Homer does not seem to have known any way of cooking meat except by roasting and boiling. When Achilles gave a royal feast the principal dish was a grill, which he cooked himself, and he knew how to do it, too: - When the languid flames at length subside, He throws a bed of glowing embers wide; Above the coals ... | |
"Look!" he went on earnestly. "You're not going to write up Pericles in some way or other, are you?" "What is there to write up?" said Bawley. "There are forty-three submarines in the Navy - why should I pick on Pericles?" John eyed him steadily. "It's the Parcifal business,... |
