Based on true events, the background of this striking story - one of the most popular of S Baring-Gould's many West-Country novels - is the wild and sinister Cornish Coast of two centuries ago, when its wreckers and smugglers and preventive men were constantly in conflict. Its main incidents are centred around the fearsome and lawless Captain 'Cruel' Coppinger  whose life of crime and violence and whose passion for the gentle golden-haired Judith makes a truly absorbing and exciting tale with a tremendous climax.

The Life and Diary of David Brainerd, Missionary to the Indians

EDWARDS, JONATHAN

Brainerd, David

Some wonderful, vivid poetry from the First World War. Excerpt from the poem 'The Mourners':    I look across the aching womb of night;   I look across the mist that masks the dead;  The moon is tired and gives but little light,   The stars have gone to bed.    The earth is sick and seems to breathe with pain;   A lost wind whimpers in a mangled tree;   I do not see the foul, corpse-cluttered plain,   The dead I do not see.    The slain I would not see . . . and so I lift   My eyes from out the shambles where they lie;   When lo! a million woman-faces drift  Like pale leaves through the sky.    The cheeks of some are channelled deep with tears;   But some are tearless, with wild eyes that stare   Into the shadow of the coming years   Of fathomless despair     And some are young, and some are very old;   And some are rich, some poor beyond belief;   Yet all are strangely like, set in the mould   Of everlasting grief.

"THAT YE - - - MAY BE ABLE TO COMPREHEND WITH ALL SAINTS, WHAT IS THE BREADTH,  AND LENGTH, AND DEPTH, AND HEIGHT; AND TO KNOW THE LOVE OF CHRIST,  WHICH PASSETH KNOWLEDGE." EPHESIANS 3:18,19 The extent implied in the words breadth, length, depth, and height; as far beyond all other breadths, lengths, depths, and heights, as God is infinitely beyond allcreatures. Some degrees of this love may be known;  he the happier who ascends the highest on Jacob's ladder; but the full extent can only be known in heaven.

"The Justice of God in the Damnation of Sinners" was published in 1738 and is a discourse on why it is just for God to render a harsh judgment towards mankind. Jonathan Edwards explores how we stand as sinners before God and that God is under no obligation to us. The APPLICATION involves a review of one’s life and if God treated people how they acted toward God it would be much worse than God’s marvelous love toward us.
