John Tyler's 4th Annual Message to Congress - 1844 Other matters arising out of the construction of existing treaties also remain unadjusted, and will continue to be urged upon her attention. Mexico seemed almost without an object to persevere in the war, and no other alternative was left the Executive but to take advantage of the well-known dispositions of Texas and to invite her to enter into a treaty for annexing her territory to that of the United States. We can not be blind to the fact that other nations have already added large numbers of steamships to their naval armaments and that this new and powerful agent is destined to revolutionize the condition of the world. www.geocities.com /presidentialspeeches/1844.htm   (6874 words)

Iran In the case of the other areas it would appear to have been more the result of the fact that none of the prominent early Bábís came from these areas and so there was no propagation of the Bábí movement there. With regard to other ethnic minorities in Iran, Bahá'ís were well represented among the Ádharbáyjání Turks but there appear to have been relatively few among the nomadic Turkic tribes, the Kurds of western Iran, the Arabs of Khúzistán, and the Balúchís of the southeast. Events culminated in the murder of three Bahá'ís in Sháhrúd by a mob in 1944. www.bahai-library.com /?file=momen_encyclopedia_iran.html   (7567 words)

Encyclopedia Article: Baha'i History Four events during this year served to produce a marked change in the fortunes of the new religion. These successive events removed the veil of ambiguity from the claims of the Báb, making it clear that he claimed a station equal to the Prophet Muhammad and was thus abrogating the Islamic dispensation. Undoubtedly, meeting with the Báb, Bahá'u'lláh, `Abdu'l-Bahá, and, to a lesser extent, Shoghi Effendi, was a major psychological and spiritual event in the lives of many of the followers of the religion, reinforcing and increasing the level of their commitment and faith. www.bahai-library.com /encyclopedia/history.html   (8232 words)

Millerites - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Beginning with a strictly literal reading of the ages of people mentioned in the first chapters of Genesis and the dating of other events mentioned in the Bible, Miller believed that precise calculations were possible, full of prophetic importance. Later, he adjusted his calculations to conform to the "Jewish calendar", to finally arrive at the confidence that 1844 would be the last year of the present age and the beginning of the "seventh day of the creation". The date October 22, 1844, was the date commonly accepted throughout the Millerite movement as the exact date of the anticipated return of Jesus, although Miller himself was uncertain of the day. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Millerites   (1673 words)

Charles Gale, of Port Burwell, laden with lumber, bound for Cleveland, was wrecked a short distance above Long Point, Lake Erie, and was a total loss. Others ascended the shrouds, clinging in masses to the ratlines, up to the very crosstrees, from which as the fire reached the combustible material they were soon precipitated into the burning mass beneath.

[No title] To isolate any one of them from the others, to dissociate the later manifestations of one universal, all-embracing Revelation from the pristine purpose that animated it in its earliest days, would be tantamount to a mutilation of the structure on which it rests, and to a lamentable perversion of its truth and of its history. Their accomplice in these and other heinous crimes was a government bolstered up by a flock of idle, parasitical princelings and governors, corrupt, incompetent, tenaciously holding to their ill-gotten privileges, and utterly subservient to a notoriously degraded clerical order. We recall, likewise, the contrast between the disorder, the cursing, the ribald laughter, the debauchery and shame that characterized the camp of the enemy, and the atmosphere of reverent devotion that filled the Fort, from which anthems of praise and hymns of joy were continually ascending. www.sacred-texts.com /bhi/shogi/gpb.txt   (9734 words)

Calendar In The Heavens, Oct. 22, 1844 :: The General Association of Branch Davidian Seventh Day Adventists ::   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) But in 1844 they were the same (at least for the major representative groups of each – the more observant among them may have disregarded the common error and kept the correct date). That is, by reckoning the beginning of the year by the observance of both the sun and the moon – the sun at the equinox, and the first new (visible) moon at or thereafter – the Adventists (through whomever) were brought to the correct date. There are other reasons why we should "be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear." There are many winds of doctrine blowing around regarding God's "times and laws," and our relation to them. www.the-branch.org /study87.html   (2172 words)

1844 Since these verses are presenting events in chronological order, we are shown a judgment which must take place after the four kingdoms and the little horn, and before God sets up His kingdom. Other commentators have noticed that this horn of Daniel 8 has many similarities to the horn in the vision of Daniel 7. The other alternative is to cut off 490 years from the beginning of the 2300 years. www.biblerevelations.org /sanctuary_message/1844_is_it_biblical.htm   (2301 words)

Welcome to The American Presidency As the 1844 presidential election approached, however, he was mentioned as a possible candidate for the vice presidency. In April 1844, President John Tyler (who had succeeded to office on the death of Harrison in 1841) submitted a treaty to the U.S. Senate to annex Texas to the United States.

Walker, Whittaker, and Allen/Mormon History. Chapter 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) The public's interest in Mormonism's supposed "sins and sex" was so strong that the century saw the publication of a string of authoritative-sounding, first-person accounts that had their origins not so much in Nauvoo or the Great Basin but in the pulp publishing houses of eastern United States and London. Other books were more firmly rooted in personal experience, although they still used the exaggerated and formulaic techniques of the exposé. He argued that Smith's death was the result of the Mormon destruction of an opposition newspaper in Nauvoo, the LDS semisecret practice of plural marriage, and the church's alleged willingness to protect criminals operating along the Mississippi River. www.press.uillinois.edu /epub/books/walker/01.html   (11036 words)

What Really Happened in 1844?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22) The 1844 date was calculated by William Miller, a Baptist lay preacher, from his interpretation of the Bible and the historical data that he had at his disposal. Others could not face the truth of their error and fabricated complicated interpretations of these prophecies in order to ease their disappointment. Exposing the error of the doctrine of 1844 and all that it represents strikes a crippling blow to the very root of Adventism. www.ellenwhite.org /1844dh.htm   (5618 words)

1844 -- Is It Prophetic? The story of Christ, on the other hand, is so clear that it really does not matter which version of the Bible we use. October 22, 1844, is considered an event in salvation history that a person must believe as fully as one believes that Christ is risen from the dead. He must then prove that the judgment which began in 1844 was an "investigative judgment" of God's professed people, not a judgment (as the text implies) of the wicked. www.caic.org.au /biblebase/sda/1844.htm   (1564 words)

RASNZ Occultation Section - Susilva Occultation Update (The event Rank is a measure of the likelihood of observing an event, and is equal to the probability of at least one successful observation by a team of two observers spaced 1/8 path width just inside opposite sides of the predicted path. An event rank of 100 indicates that the prediction is expected to be very accurate). In other words, a path uncertainty of 1.0 path widths means that the actual center of the asteroid's shadow path should fall within plus or minus 1 path width of the plotted path center. occsec.wellington.net.nz /planet/2005/updates/050120_1844_4120_u.htm   (661 words)

The Jews in China The stranger was a descendant of Israel, and during his survey of the chapel, had imagined the large picture to represent Rebekah with Jacob and Esau, and the other persons to denote four of the sons of Jacob. They described their congregation as on the brink of extinction, partly from the decay of their national language, and partly because their chief had lately died at a very advanced age, leaving for his hereditary successor a son, very young, and very little versed in the peculiarities of their religion. In Nanking Semmedo was informed by a Mohammedan, that in that city he knew of four families of Jews who had embraced the religion of the Koran, they being the last of their race there, and their instructors having failed as their numbers diminished. jewish-history.com /Occident/volume1/mar1844/jews_china.html   (1246 words)

The Demands Of The Times We will, therefore admit, that among many Christian Societies, there may be too much interference with each other’s conscientious scruples; but this does not prove that there is not a great deal of sound wisdom in their manner of handling great questions of general concern. In the first place, there is hardly any Christian Society which does not strain every nerve to have an intelligent and virtuous ministry, composed of men who would honour any calling by their acquirements and general good conduct. Formerly, this was the case also in Germany, and the other parts of the continent; the sermon was a rare thing, and a preacher, as such, absolutely unknown. www.jewish-history.com /Occident/volume2/oct1844/demands.html   (1439 words)

Pittsburgh Catholic Newspaper - News and Features Adult-type stem cells have proven to be significantly more flexible than originally anticipated, and various stem cells can be differentiated into other needed cell types (e.g., bone marrow donor stem cells have been morphed into bone marrow, bone, cartilage, tendon, muscle, fat, liver, nerve/brain and blood cells). These cells have been differentiated successfully into numerous other cells and have yielded treatments or therapies that are beneficial to humans. On the other hand, because embryonic stem cells belong in the microenvironment of the early embryo, when they are used in an adult body they tend to cause tumors and immune system reactions. www.pittsburghcatholic.org /newsarticles_more.phtml?id=1844   (1068 words)

XI. Essays. Character. 1844. Emerson, Ralph Waldo. 1909-14. Essays and English Traits. The Harvard Classics The class of character like to hear of their faults: the other class do not like to hear of faults; they worship events; secure to them a fact, a connection, a certain chain of circumstances, and they will ask no more. A given order of events has no power to secure to him the satisfaction which the imagination attaches to it; the soul of goodness escapes from any set of circumstances, whilst prosperity belongs to a certain mind, and will introduce that power and victory which is its natural fruit, into any order of events. On the other part, rectitude is a perpetual victory, celebrated not by cries of joy, but by serenity, which is joy fixed or habitual. www.bartelby.com /5/111.html   (4758 words)

Uncle Dale's Old Mormon Articles: Millennial Harbinger (1844-59) The Association was prevailed upon to defer immediate action and to appoint a council of ministers and messengers from neighboring churches to assemble in Pittsburgh on the 11th of October 1823 to pronounce which faction should be recognized in that character... Campbell, on the other hand affirms that this said council was charged with no other duty than to endeavor to promote a reunion of those whom Sidney and his faction had excommunicated... Hence the mourning bench, or the praying bench, or some other penitential bench, was that to which they urged sinners to come in order to be prayed for and to be converted to the Lord. www.sidneyrigdon.com /dbroadhu/VA/harb1844.htm   (12013 words)
