A book published in 1890

About the Author of the book, "Natural Law in the Spiritual World."

Henry Drummond was born near Stirling, Scotland, on 17 August, 1851. He was educated at the Universities of Edinburgh and Tübingen. His life was largely spent in the work of the Toynbee Order and in scientific and other travel. He accompanied Sir Archibald Geikie (Director-General of the Geological Survey) in a survey of the Rocky Mountains in 1878, made an exploration in Central Africa in 1884-85, and travelled widely in Australia and the Far East. He later became Professor of Natural Science at the College of the Free Church of Scotland.

I found this interesting old book yesterday. It was published in 1890 and is called "Natural Law in the Spiritual World" by Henry Drummond. It is about the Hermit Crab and parasites that live off of them. Then he parallels the crabs life and activities with the Spiritual world.

I enjoyed reading some of it. If you want to add a few "new" old (in usage in 1890) words to your vocabulary, then I would encourage you to check it out. The book cane be found online at the link below.

Stonehenge My dad and I went along with a tour group from the US to learn more about the history of Operation Tiger. We got to meet two American veterans who also came to England. I learned the history of Operation Tiger which I had not been aware of before. This year is the 70th Anniversary of Operation Tiger. They had a big ceremony at Slapton Sands near a tank that was recovered after the war. Exercise Tiger , or Operation Tiger , was the code name for one in a series of large-scale rehearsals for the D-Day invasion of Normandy , which took place on Slapton Sands or Slapton Beach in Devon . (In late 1943) Coordination and communication problems resulted in friendly fire deaths during the exercise, and an Allied convoy positioning itself for the landing was attacked by E-boats of the German Kriegsmarine , resulting in the deaths of 946 American servicemen.

Jesus Christ - and We

Jesus Christ- and We Christ has no hands but our hands , to do His work today; He has no feet but our feet to lead men in His way; He has no tongue but our tongues to tell men how He died, He has no help but our help to bring them to His side. We are the only Bible, the careless world will read; We are the sinners' gospel, we are the scoffers' creed; We are the Lord's last message, Written in deed and word- what if the line is crooked, what if the type is blurred? What if our hands are busy, with other work than His, What if our feet are walking, where sin's allurement is? What if our tongues are speaking, of things His lips would spurn, How can we hope to help Him, Unless from Him we learn? By Annie Johnson Flint (1862-1932) I was going through my old school folders and found this great poem. It is so true. We as Christians are to show the world how Christ would act and talk. If we let Him live through us we will stand out a
