By the advice of the lords and members of the parliaments of Charles II, whom William had called together after James had left for Rochester, a convention parliament was summoned for 7 Jan., and in Scotland for 14 March.
Before the dissolution Marlborough, who had concerted with James a series of operations, beginning with a motion in the lords for the exclusion of all foreigners from the service of England, was dismissed from all his employments, and a rupture ensued of the friendly relations between the sovereigns and the Princess Anne (January).
But while William seemed prepared to treat parliament with frankness as to the actual situation, the houses chose to settle down to a banquet of debate on the whole subject of his foreign policy in the past, including a discussion of the partition treaties, conducted in the commons with absolute recklessness of tone and language.

John Ebers, publisher, and at that time manager of the Opera House, by whom he was introduced to literary and dramatic circles, and whose daughter he afterwards married.
He was a man of the highest character, honest, courageous, and clear-sighted, and, though regarded by some professional scientists as to a certain extent an amateur, his ability, knowledge, and dialectic power made him a formidable antagonist, and enabled him to exercise a useful, generally conservative, influence on scientific thought and progress.
Thereafter he was private secretary to Lord Lansdowne, Lord President of the Council, through whose influence he was in 1851 appointed an inspector of schools.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Sophonias (Zephaniah)
Zephanja, that is "the Lord conceals", "the Lord protects") might, on the analogy of Gottfried, be most briefly translated by the words God protect.
The age of Sophonias was also a most serious and decisive period, because the lands of Anterior Asia were overrun by foreigners owing to the migration of the Seythians in the last decades of the seventh century, and because Jerusalem, the city of the Prophets, was only a few decades before its downfall (586).
There is something solemn in the manner in which the Lord is so frequently introduced as the speaker, and the sentence of judgment falls on the silent earth (i, 7).

In the words of Lord Sunderland to William III, he `was the life, the soul, the spirit of his (the Whig) party.' He was one of those attacked by the Commons in those proceedings which Swift condemned in his treatise on Dissensions in Athens and Rome: and at that time Somers resigned his office.
From 1708 to 1710 he was Lord President; but Swift had then become too much estranged from the Whigs to maintain his former cordial relations with Somers.
During the later years of Anne's reign, Somers was laid aside by ill health, and he died in 1716.

 © John Bowers - Silent Movie Actor - goldensilents.com
John did not succeed in films after sound came in, though he was a remarkable talent and many believe he could have done so if given the right encouragement by Hollywood producers and directors at the time.
His tragic life story is considered to be the basis, at least in part, for the famous film story "A Star Is Born." (Three film versions were made of this story).
The first two films I happened to see John in were "The Sky Pilot" (1921) and "Lorna Doone" (1922), and in both those films there were scenes in which John's characters were struggling to avoid drowning.

Boxed together here then are three of the most successful and influential film scores of modern Hollywood, work that draws as much on Williams' masterful sense of classical music history as it does his own well-studied melodic and arranging instincts.
As expected, John Williams' music for A New Hope, The Empire Strikes Back, and Return of the Jedi is brilliantly performed by the London Symphony Orchestra.
And perhaps, with the release of Revenge of the Sith, Sony, George Lucas and John Williams might allow the entire unedited scores for all six films to be released in a seamless chronological presentation, with extensive booklet notes.

In John 7:16-17 we read "Jesus answered them, and said, My doctrine is not mine, but his that sent me. If any man will do his will, he shall know of the doctrine, whether it be of God, or whether I speak of myself." This implies that the Lord reveals his will to the willing.
My speculation is that the 'death of the saints', plus prayer, gives the Lord a reason to move.
It is the vengeance that the Lord executes in the spiritual realm that breaks enemy strongholds, and brings such glorious results.
