Where do people get the idea that a sentient being has to have created everything? It doesn't even make sense! If you believe that complex things have to be made by sentient beings, why don't you believe that there's an endless chain of sentient beings creating sentient beings? Oh my not god.
The Bible tells us who created the uniiverse and the earth.

Check out your own Bible, and read Isaiah 45: 18. For this is what Jehovah has said, the Creator of the heavens, He the true God, the Former of the earth and the Maker of it, He the One who firmly established it who did not create it simply for nothing, who formed it even to be inhabited: I am Jehovah and there is no one else.

If you have ever created a new recipe, an epicurean's delight, you might share the recipe with someone you really care about.

Colossians 1 : 13 - 20 ( summary) We can be transferred from darkness into the Kingdom of the Son of his love if we beleve that Jesus is our ransomer, that Jesus is the image of the invisible God, that he will reconcile us with God, and bring peace to the earth, and by means of him, all other things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, all other things have been created through him and for him.

First Timothy 2 : 5 also says - For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, a man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a corresponding ransom for all - this is what is to be witnessed to at its own particular times.

The universe doesn't exist. Its just an echo of a potentiality in nothingness. Smoke and mirrors. Bah humbug. I'm not buyin it.
I learned a new word that doctors like to use to describe people. It was also used in my medical reports. The word is "supratentorial" It's a figment of our imagination. "I must have been supratentorial to imagine that a plethora of ******* motions appeared in one day after taking a rotten drug."
A lot of people don't like the explanation that the earth and the universe were created in 6 days. Doesn't that seem ridiculous? Where would God get such an idea, and expect us to believe it?
One explanation is that he has another viewpoint of time. Psalms 90 : 4 says: "For a thousand years are in your eyes but as yesterday when it is passed."
2 Peter 3 : 8 also implies the same thought.
"However, let this one fact not be escaping your notice, beloved ones, that one day with Jehovah is as a thousand years and a thousand years as one day."
Many religionists would argue that thought, just as they did the thought when someone dared say that the earth was round and not flat. Isaiah 40 : 22 clearly said,:
"There is One who is dwelling above the circle of the earth......the One who is stretching out the heavens just as a fine gauze, who spreads them out like a tent in which to dwell."
Where would we be if there was no cohesiveness in the solar system? Gauze is certainly a good illustration to explain how it's held together.
You have a right to your belief, but if it doesn't exist, who are you and what are you doing here in this space and time if you don't exist? Maybe you're having a supratentorial episode in your life like my doctor insists that I'm having. ~ Boshie
But He did. He created everything that is, has been, and will be, existing in perfect harmony according to His divine design.
Oh but God did create the universe and is the upholder and sustainer of it !
God is the only One who made and still makes everything and everyone perfectly.
God can,If you can or someone else then come to show us.but you cannot do everything without the permission of God
no one did, watch carl sagans cosmos, through the worm hole, and the evolution of star stuff
Nobody did.

Or.....

In the beginning there was only the swirling watery chaos, called Nu. Out of these chaotic waters rose Atum, the sun god of the city of Heliopolis. It is believed that he created himself, using his thoughts and will. In the watery chaos, Atum found no place on which to stand. In the place where he first appeared, he created a hill. This hill was said to be the spot on which the temple of Heliopolis was built. Other interpretations find that Atum was the hill. In this interpretation Atum may represent the fertile, life giving hills left behind by the receding waters of the Nile's annual flood. As early as the Fifth-Dynasty, we find Atum identified with the sun god Ra. By this time his emergence on the primeval hill can be interpreted as the coming of light into the darkness of Nu. As the god of the rising sun, his name is Khepri.

. . . . .His next act was to create more gods. Because he was all alone in the world, without a mate, he made a union with his shadow. This unusual way of procreating offspring was not considered strange to the Egyptians. We find Atum regarded as a bisexual god and was sometimes called the 'Great He-She'. The Egyptians were thus able to present Atum as the one and only creative force in the universe.

. . . . .According to some texts the birth of Atum's children took place on the primeval hill. In other texts, Atum stayed in the waters of Nu to create his son and daughter. He gave birth to his son by spitting him out. His daughter he vomited. Shu represented the air and Tefnut was a goddess of moisture. Shu and Tefnut continued the act of creation by establishing a social order. To this order Shu contributed the 'principles of Life' while Tefnut contributed the 'principles of order'.

. . . . .After some time Shu and Tefnut became separated from their father and lost in the watery chaos of Nu. Atum, who had only one eye, which was removable. This was called the Udjat eye. Atum removed the eye and sent it in search of his children. In time they returned with the eye. At this reunion Atum wept tears joy, where these tears hit the ground, men grew. Now Atum was ready to create the world. So Shu and Tefnut became the parents of Geb, the earth and Nut, the sky. Geb and Nut gave birth to Osiris and Isis, Seth, Nephthys.
you're pretty knowledgeable for a chipmunk.
You could have just cited the Enuma Elish too :)
Rather i wonder how god was created...?
God (Allah) has no beginning and no end He always was and will always be. He exists without place, form or shape, is not comparable to anything that He created. He was not created but is the Creator. We cannot see Him but He exists. He knows, sees, hears all things.
No one, the universe was created by the Big Bang, a phenomenon we still do not understand. One of the most plausible explanations would be through the energy that is created in the vacuum space outside our own universe, the area after where our universe ends, infinite and completely void of anything. The energie had nowhere to go and became more chaotic over time, creating a gigantic blast, which in turn created our universe.

But aside from that, has god proven anything yet? Like, has he written anything, made a recording of his voice or made an appearance that we all can prove. Apparently he had more time to put his son's face on a piece of toast than save a church with children from being hit by a tornado. Please people, stop believing in something as outdated as god and the bible. We "evil scientists", have proof, we have empirical statistics, we can prove everything to you that science has created, if you got the time we'd be gladly to oblige. If not, oh well, living in delusion is also one way to survive I guess.
gravity is a theory ;)
I want to ask you both to give me the meaning of theory and please do not give me the dictionary meaning. Yes, indeed, the big bang is still a concept many theorize about, however we can say with a health amount of certainty that the big bang indeed happened. Next, gravity, seriously, a theory? Yes true, it is indeed a theory, but I am quite sure that you don't know what a theory is. Just like evolution is a THEORY while containing hard evidence of it existing, just like how the laws of thermodynamics are a THEORY while they are indeed a LAW. Stephen Hawking is rolling in his grave right now because of you two, or perhaps the poor guy is squirming, you two should be ashamed for causing this.
l ron hubbard?..
Please, could you all settle down, I have been too modest to say it, but I was bored, had a bit of spare time a little while ago . . .
"God" created the universe by definition.

"God" is an umbrella concept that ties together every loose end and bundles them all together for convenience and for ready sale..
reading all these answers is sad. Brings to mind Romans 1:18-20 as well as Jude 1:18.
Chakravartin? Been playing Asura's Wrath lol
never heard of the big bang pheory??????
TL;DR answer: wasn't there, don't know.

Long answer: I believe that the creation of this thing we call the universe is part of a larger, ever expanding natural process. Perhaps it grew from a lucky seed landing in a substrate we can't even comprehend yet. Perhaps this universe is a relatively small bubble in a larger medium that holds other bubbles. Perhaps the universe is a side-effect of something else. Perhaps the whole universe is in a jar in a lab and we humans are just a calculated result of an experiment. Perhaps we just lucked out and we are in a weird, anomalous place with the correct mix of forces. All of creation may not have the hand of a "who" in it at all; perhaps it just kind of happened.
6 % of the universe is the material which makes up all the stars and planets and any other matter such as black holes and gas clouds etc. This is the matter we can see or detect.

The other 94 % is made up of dark material and a dark energy, these are things that scientists know for certain exist

They cannot be seen or detected by us, and scientists have absolutely no idea what these things are. They also know that dark material and dark energy are everywhere in the universe, they are even inside us.

It is also known that these unknown materials are responsible for all of the universe being as it is now, but whether they created this universe is a complete mystery.

Which, even though I am an atheist, is rather like how many view god.

Perhaps this dark material and it's dark energy is actually what many people believe to be a god.

If so then 94 % of the universe is god, which basically means that the whole of the universe is god, and the other 6 %, ie the matter which WE can see, is just a chance by-product !

What I believe, if there really is a god ..... it is absolutely certain that this entity has no knowledge of the life which exists on earth, it does not promise everlasting peace for believers, nor does it promise 72 virgins, or any other such nonsense.

If this entity was so astronomically powerful as to create a whole universe, it certainly didn't make it for us humans, because we are simply far too insignificant !

That many people believe otherwise is preposterous.

Our earth would be the heaven we seek, if mankind were to learn to more tolerant with each other, and we concentrated more on our similarities than our differences.

Which is actually what most of the religious books try to teach us, but our religions and our traditions interfere with our understanding of the true meaning behind such sc<x>riptures..

London (Mar. 15)
The press here reports the official announcement of the prohibition of Shechita, both in Cologne and Siegburg.
Shechita has also been prohibited in Bonn by the State Commissioner, with immediate enforcement.
The English press also records that while acts of violence against Jewish stores have ceased in Berlin, west Germany, particularly Frankfurt, is still suffering from the violent agitation against Jewish business houses.
The London "Daily Express" relates an interesting case tending to show that the Nazi authorities are attempting to impose a curb on their followers. It tells of three Nazis who robbed Jewish merchants of £40; they were subsequently arrested by Nazi police, stripped of their Nazi emblems, expelled from the Party, and put on trial for robbery with violence.

Chrysler Recalls Jeep Grand Cherokees
DETROIT Reuters reported that the Chrysler arm of DaimlerChrysler AG said on Thursday it was recalling 76,143 Jeep Grand Cherokees to fix a fuel system part that doesn't meet federal standards.
Chrysler said an internal test showed that in a high-speed, rear-end crash, a check valve on the sport utility vehicle's fuel tank could come loose, leading to a fuel leak if the vehicle rolled over. There have been no crashes or injuries associated with the problem.
Chrysler said it would put a reinforcing bracket on the valve, and also check for other fuel system problems. The recall affects 2002 model year Grand Cherokees sold in the United States, Canada and Mexico.

Jalil, Abdul Rahim (2006) Development of adsorption selective carbon membrane using cellulose acetate for separation of O2/N2 and C1-C4 hydrocarbons/N2. Masters thesis, Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Chemical and Natural Resources Engineering.
PDF (Full text)
Restricted to Repository staff only
The objective of this study is to develop a new kind of carbon membrane which could separate gas based on the adsorption concept. This study was subjected to encounter challenges imposed by general trade off between permeability and selectivity of membrane. Membrane was prepared from a thermosetting polymer that acts as a carbon precursor in this type of membrane. The membrane is formed by pyrolysis of cellulose acetate supported over a microporous ceramic membrane used for microfiltration at 3000C, 3250C, 3500C, 4000C, 4500C, and 5000C under N2 flowrate equal to 200 ml/min. The membrane then was further subjected to an oxidative treatment at temperature between 1500C to 4000C with an interval of 500C. The pyrolysis temperature was found plays an important role in changing the morphology of the carbon membrane been developed. Increasing the pyrolysis temperature produces more pores with smaller diameter, thus reducing the permeability of the penetrates. The optimum pyrolysis temperature for O2/N2 separation is at 4000C which give the value of the selectivity about 3.92. This value has exceeded an excellent value that is selectivity above 3.0 as suggested by Kulprathinja (1988). A hierarchal way to developed the adsorption selective carbon membrane has been done. The prepared membrane shows high permeabilities and selectivity towards separation of gas mixtures formed by hydrocarbons and N2. Membrane prepared at 4000C was further subjected to an air oxidation at 3000C and gave the value for single gas experiment, C2H6/N2; 2.52, C3H8/N2; 2.44, n-C4H10/N2; 2.35. For binary gas experiment, the selectivity for C2H6/N2; 3.3, C3H6/N2; 14.4, n- C4H10/N2; 26.05. A selective and high permeability carbon membrane based on cellulose acetate could be developed

Luxury labels for less
I started working in the newspaper's Clearwater bureau almost a year ago, and I've been surprised at the number of cute little stores in the area. North Pinellas County may lack the big-city glamour of Tampa or the funkiness of St. Petersburg, but there is a reason for fashionistas to venure north of Ulmerton Road.
Case in point: CopyCats Boutique, a haven for label addicts looking to score high-end looks at bargain basement prices. The shop is loaded with, ahem, "designer inspired" jewelry, sunglasses and handbags. The "Tiffany" jewelry looks like the real thing and is priced between $24 and $150. There's a black handbag with the trademark Chanel interlocking C's for $69.99, and "Dior" sunglasses for $50.
Even for those who don't give a hoot about a designer label, it's a great place to browse. The jewelry is really pretty, regardless of its pedigree. And there's cool soaps and candles, which would make great gifts.
The store also carries the wooden Eiffel Tower purse Sarah Jessica Parker carried in the Sex and the City movie. It's the real thing and the price reflects it: $419.

If last season was a measuring stick for the Wayne County Junior Legion baseball team, then the 2001 summer campaign should be filled with excitement.
The 16-under area all-star team finished 26-16 and made its first junior AABC berth after finishing second in the Greater Akron Baseball Federation. This season, the "who's who" area roster will look for more of the same -- but in the senior division.
"They were a pretty good team last year, and I don't see a fall off with the roster this year," said WC Senior Legion coach Greg Pickard, whose team will play its home games at Rittman High School. "We have more depth at every position than what we've had in year's past, so I don't expect anything less than what they accomplished last year."
The senior Legion team, for players ages 17 and 18, returns just two regulars from a year ago -- Northwestern's Jake Frank and Wooster's Pat Gallagher.
Frank, the Wayne County League MVP and Daily Record Player of the Year, is slated as the team's primary shortstop, while Gallagher is the team's No. 1 catcher. The duo will be joined by a majority of the junior Legion who enjoyed so much success in 2000.
The pitching rotation is headed by Walt Samson (Orrville), Jason Springer (Chippewa), Sean Wade (Wooster) and Justin Smith (Way), while Ryan Kilpatrick (Wooster), Elliot Schreiner (Waynedale) and Joe Beichler (Smithville) will also see time on the mound.
Brad Grimm (Orrville) is penciled in at first base, with Kyle Geiser (Orrville) scheduled to play second a majority of the time. Chippewa's Jon Lipaj is slated for starting duties at third base, joining a rotating outfield of Jason Smith (Orrville), T.J. DeAngelis (Chippewa), Nick Slater (Norwayne) and Brad Hilson (Norwayne). Orrville's Doug Miller will be the team's primary DH and No. 2 catcher.
"We're real solid defensively up the middle, and our pitching is stronger than its been in a while," said Pickard, whose team opened up the season on Monday with a 10-5 win over Greater Wayne County League member GlenOak. "Right now it's kind of hard to tell because we've only played one game, but hitting is something we don't have to worry about. Basically, we'll go as far as our pitching takes us.
"We're in probably the biggest district in the state, and it will be really hard to get out of it," Pickard added. "Last year, we almost made it to the finals but fell two games short. This year, I see no reason why we shouldn't challenge to be one of the top teams in our district."
The Wayne County Jr. Legion team returns just two players, as West Holmes' Derek Cramlett and Orrville's Adam Samson are back for another go around. The team, which is for 15 and 16 year olds, is off to a 3-2 start.
"This team has more pitching than I've ever had before," said Jr. Legion coach Lynn Beaumont, who started the American Legion teams back in 1993. "We're just starting to hit the ball, but we really have some very good pitchers."
At the top of the pitching list is Ashland's Andrew Sevin, but Eric Nussbaum (Norwayne), Samson, Robby MacDowell (Rittman), Drew Schlabach (Central Christian), Justin Stutz (Dalton) and Blake Busson (Chippewa) will provide some depth on the mound.
Busson, who Beaumont tabbed as a possible closer, is also going to be the teams starter at shortstop, while Stutz will be starting at first.
Schlabach and Ashland's Mitch VanDine will rotate at catcher, while Sheldon Steiner (Central Christian) and Gabe Martin (Ashland) will battle for the starting second base slot.
When they're not pitching, MacDowell and Nussbaum will rotate at third, while Jason Jackson (Dalton), Cramlett, and Jared Peroli (Cloverleaf) are penciled in left, center and right field, respectively. Sam Strine (Ashland) will also see time in the outfield, while Russell Burgett (West Holmes) could wind up at first base or in the pitching rotation.
"Generally in summer ball you need six or seven pitchers ... we've got that many," Beaumont said. "We played really good defense in the games we lost, we just simply did not hit the ball. The other night (June 1) we beat Northwest 15-4 and seemed to be coming out of it.
"We have the best outfield I've ever had, too. The kids flat out go get the ball," Beaumont said. "We'll find out how good we are when we go to the Battlecreek Tournament (June 21-24) in Michigan. ... Every major (college) will send their scouts."

Tomorrow, our area will hold a number of memorial services in honor of all the men and women whose lives were lost during the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.
As we remember the tragic events that befell our nation 11 years ago, try to make some time to visit one, or all, of these heartfelt community-organized memorials. It is a meaningful way to come together as a community, to mourn, to honor, to stand as a nation truly united, and to also let your neighbors — many of whom lost mothers, fathers, sons, daughters, brothers, sisters, family and friends, on that awful day — know that their loved ones will not forgotten.
- The Brooklyn/Bedford Park 9/11 Memorial Committee's 9/11 Memorial And Candle Vigil: Remember the 11th anniversary of one of the most tragic days in our nation's history. Bring a candle, bring a chair, bring your memories, thoughts and prayers. Rain or shine. Bill Brown Park, Avenue X and Bedford Avenue, 6:30 p.m.
- Gerritsen Beach 9/11 Ceremonies: Gerritsenbeach.net announces that the area around the Larry Veling Memorial Field has been spruced up in time for Gerritsen Beach's annual 9/11 memorial ceremony. Larry Veling Field Gerritsen Avenue between Cyrus Avenue and Seba Avenue, 7:00 p.m.
- State Senator Martin J. Golden Annual September 11th Memorial in Marine Park: State Senator Martin Golden will host a Marine Park memorial — expected to attract a number of residents from the community who will gather to mourn and remember the tragic events — that will feature a program of inspirational speeches, patriotic song selections, and a candle-lighting vigil. Family members of those lost at the World Trade Center will also be in attendance. Marine Park, Fillmore Avenue and Marine Parkway, 6:00 p.m.
UPDATE (9/11/12 @ 9:00 a.m.): Ari Kagan notes in the comments that there's one more event we were unaware of:
One more ceremony is going to take place tomorrow at 4 p.m. in Asser Levy Park (9/11 Memorial Square). It is organized by September 11 Family Group (President – Larry Savinkin).
Thanks, Ari!

The Fresno Bee has an extended article on the Janet Rivera case today. Rivera is a profoundly cognitively disabled woman whose husband and family want her to live, but who has been ordered dehydrated by the public guardian, a matter we first discussed here at SHS last week. (I was interviewed for the piece and have a small quote.) Here is the general gist of article. From the story:
That's a very big deal, it seems to me. Otherwise, as I noted in my earlier post, we move toward medicalized tyranny in which the state or strangers can decide that the time has come for your loved one to die.
Among the questions her situation has raised: Should a government agency be able to overrule family members and withhold life support when the patient's wishes are unknown?
The Schiavo family has taken an interest in this case. The Terri Schindler Schiavo Foundation helped find a lawyer to represent the Rivera family, said Schiavo's brother, Bobby Schindler.Rivera's situation is more alarming than his sister's, he said. "We had a family dispute," he said. "This is a family in agreement."
More from reporter Barbara Anderson's story:
Rivera has been comatose for two years following a heart attack. It's unclear what Rivera's preferences about life support would be. "We never really talked about life and death things much," said Rivera's brother, Michael Dancoff of Berkeley.Experts agree that the county is taking a chance by trying to make an end-of-life decision for Rivera without knowing her wishes.Not if futile care theory takes off. As I have stated repeatedly, choice is just the key that opens the door. The real agenda is that certain people not remain with us due to utilitarian considerations. To wit:
It's unusual for a conservator to argue for removing life support without evidence that's what the patient would want, said David Magnus, director of the Stanford Center for Biomedical Ethics and co-chair of the hospital's ethics committee.
Yeah right...Here's my part in the story:
"The stewardship of scarce resources does require us to take resources into account," said Ben Rich, a University of California at Davis bioethics professor. "But it has to be done carefully.
Wesley J. Smith, a Castro Valley attorney who was an adviser to the Schindler family in the Terri Schiavo case, said there is a "potential for tremendous discrimination" if finances are ever taken into consideration in cases such as Rivera's. "If HMOs did this, people would be screaming," Smith said. "If we're going to do it because of public financing, people should be screaming also."All in all, a very nicely balanced piece of reporting. Well done Ms. Anderson.

Man in court for 84-year-old woman's alleged murder
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) The man accused of killing an elderly woman Monday morning during a home break-in appeared in court for the first time Wednesday.
Arraignment for 31-year-old David Eugene Webster II was continued for a week so the public defender could make sure there's not a conflict of interest in representing Webster.
Prosecutors, meanwhile, say the death penalty is within reason for what Webster is accused of doing. Court records show he's facing first-degree murder and burglary charges.
Margy Lou Licastro, 84, was found dead in her bed after the alleged burglary at her home on the 1900 block of Baker Street.
The woman's 91-year-old husband, Joseph Licastro, who is a Pearl Harbor survivor, was awoken by noises around 5 a.m. that day and called 911. He checked in on his wife but simply thought she was still sleeping. Her death wasn't discovered until officers searched the home.
Late Monday, officers arrested Webster, suspecting him of burglarizing two homes on Baker Street that morning and killing Licastro.
Neither police nor the coroner's office have said how Licastro died, but court documents show a knife was used.

By HON. EDWARD STANLY.*
* For explanatory note, see Preface.
EDWARD DICKINSON BAKER was born in London, in 1811. His parents emigrated to the United States, and came to Philadelphia in 1816. They were highly respectable persons, of energy, good sense, and accomplished education. Upon the arrival of his parents in Philadelphia they taught school for a few years, successfully, at a time when that city was probably the most renowned of any in the Union for the excellence of its institutions of learning, and the ability of its distinguished citizens. His early lessons of religion were interwoven by his excellent parents with classical lore, and his taste bent to the purest models, and his precocious genius gratified in its thirst for books. His father had heard and read of our great government, founded by Washington and his compatriots, and regarded it as the noblest work of human wisdom and virtue, the most munificent spectacle of human happiness ever presented to the vision of man. The old man had seen sparks of irrepressible genius in his darling boy, and sought a theatre, upon which, without resting ingloriously under the shadow of a titled name, without "the boast of heraldry," his son could make his mark upon the page of history. To the enduring honor of the old man, be it remembered, that notwithstanding his devotion to learning, he taught his children that labor was honorable; and for awhile our lamented hero worked at the trade of a cabinet-maker. But though to work as St. Paul did with his own hands is honorable among all men, yet the Almighty has given men different gifts. Baker's genius could not be cramped by the persistent continuance of an occupation in which he could attain the highest excellence in a few years. To chain such a mind as he had to any such occupation, would be as idle as to attempt to persuade the bird of Jove to quit towering "in his pride of place," and soaring aloft above the clouds, and adopt the habits of our useful domestic fowls. It could not be. It was the "Divinity that stirred within him," and whispered that he was born to illustrate great principles by his mental efforts, and to die gloriously, as he did die, in the noblest struggle that ever animated the soul of a patriot-hero.
I can imagine that sensible father holding the hand of his hope and joy as he walked through the streets of the patriotic Quaker city. Here he showed him the house where Washington dwelt, and the church in which the August father of his country knelt in worship before the Lord of lords and King of kings. Here he visited Independence Hall. Here he took him to the grave of Franklin, and in answer to the inquiries of childish curiosity, he would say: "Washington, my son, was a great and good man, honored by the brave and good throughout the civilized work; he served his country faithfully through a long and bloody war, and founded her, amid unexampled difficulties, a great and glorious Union, whose laws insure protection to the honest foreigner and welcome him to an equal participation in its rewards and honors. He earned the title, nobler far than that of King or Emperor— the Father of his Country. Study his precepts and venerate his character. Benjamin Franklin was poor in early life, worked with his own hands, and by industrious, and was honored by his fellow citizens and earned immortality. He, like Washington and Franklin, was a signer of the Declaration of Independence. These illustrious men, with their patriotic brethren from the icebound region of the distant North, and the sunny clime of the South, pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor to the achievement of Independence. Remember their example— be true to that country which they honored, which honored them, and may honor you, if you will. This immortal struggle was one in which patriots of all the States participated. At the battle of Germantown, Nash, from North Carolina, that State the first to declare her Independence, (then peopled by thousands, as now by tens of thousands, of good men and true,) here fell a martyr in the cause of Freedom. On the other side of this majestic river— the Delaware, which Washington crossed, disregarding the terrible inclemencies of a northern winter — on the other side, is the State of New Jersey, every foot of whose soil is a soldier's sepulcher. There Mercer of Virginia fell, another martyr to Freedom's cause. Be true to the memory of these men. You are not by birth, but by choice can be, a fellow-citizen of this heaven blessed Union. The prayers and hopes of your father and mother are that you will prove true to this, now your country, to its institutions, to the cause of Freedom."
This early teaching made a deep and lasting impression on the heart and mind of the patriot-soldier. These early lessons seem ever to have been the pillar of fire that guided his course in his public career. When Col. Baker was still a boy, his father died in Philadelphia. In 1828 he left that city, and seeking a home in the great West, he went to Carrolton, Illinois, where he borrowed books and commenced the study of law. May I say, without intruding in the holy precincts of family sorrow, he went attended by a mother's prayers and counsels. That mother still survives, at the advanced age of 82 years, (1861). She is as remarkable now for the sprightliness and vigor of her intellect, as she was in earlier life for her accomplishments and rare endowments. Venerable woman !
While you reverse our nature's kindlier doom,
Pour forth a mother's sorrow on his tomb.
Millions of patriot hearts sympathise in your sorrow. Look for comfort in Him who alone can give it— who "doeth all things well." May this calamity, while it "loosens another one of the bonds that bind you to the earth, divest the common fate of one more of its terrors, and create through the hope of re-union another aspiration for a better life beyond the grave."
In 1832 he was a Major in what is known as the Black Hawk war.
By the diligent exertion of his extraordinary abilities, he soon attained a high rank in his profession— and this is no slight praise, for there were "giants in the land in those days." Hardin, Douglas, Lincoln and Logan were his rivals and friends, and acknowledged his prowess. For ten years consecutively he was a member of the Legislature of the State of Illinois. In December, 1845, he entered the House of Representatives from the Springfield District in Illinois, a member of the 29th Congress. During this Congress, war existed with Mexico, and Baker left his place in the House, went to Illinois and raised the 4th Regiment organized in that State. He went with his regiment to the deadly banks of the Rio Grande, and entered the command of Gen. Taylor. In December, 1846, he returned from Mexico on urgent public business, and in the House of Representatives, delivered a speech remarkable for its force and intense patriotic feeling, which subdued partizan opposition and produced the fruits he desired, of additional appropriation for the comfort of the soldiers in the field. After this visit to the seat of Government he resigned his seat in Congress and returned to Vera Cruz, where he participated in the capture of the Castle of San Juan de Ulloa. Very soon afterwards he was at the battle of Cerro Gordo, where the gallant Gen. Shields was wounded severely, and Baker, having charge of the attacking column, took the command. History has told us the story of the good conduct of the Colonel who commanded the 4th Illinois Regiment, in that terrible but glorious day. After the war was ended, he returned to Illinois, and was honored by that State with a sword, in grateful recognition of his valuable services.
In 1849, while a resident of what was called the Sangamon or Springfield District, he was urged by his party friends to come to the Galena District, then strongly, and to any other person but Baker, overwhelmingly Democratic. In any other man had attempted such an enterprise, he would have been regarded as a Don Quixote. But he was always self-reliant. He had, if not all the ambition, the courage and genius of Julius Cæsar. He commenced there to advocate those principles to which through his life he had been attached, with unfaltering devotion. He went with the sling of Freedom and the pebble of Truth, and the giant Democracy fell before him. He served in the 31st Congress as a member from the Galena District. He was not a candidate again, and his voice not being heard, the Galena District was again decidedly Democratic.
In 1851, his fervid spirit, always seeking some difficult and hazardous exploit, induced him to embark in the enterprise of superintending the construction of the Panama Railroad. Here he managed a large body of men, and here he was reveling in the belief that he was opening a way to a land of wines and fig-trees, of pomegranates, a land of oil, olive and honey— opening the road for his countrymen in all parts of the Union, to a land forever consecrated to freedom. In that pestiferous climate, in "those poisonous fields with rank luxuriance crowned," under
Those blazing suns that dart a downward ray,
And fiercely shed intolerable day,
he was comforting his soul with the assurance that he was removing obstructions from the paths of free labor, that here, on this our blessed shore, it might have its proudest resting-place. Nothing but a strong constitution strengthened by the most exemplary temperance, a "frame of adamant, a soul of fire," and an indomitable will sustained him under the effects of the Panama fever, which troubled him for several years.
In June, 1852, he arrived in California. Here he soon attained a high rank in the profession of law. Many pages of this volume might be filled in recounting his many triumphs among eminent men at the bar. The country well knows how pre-eminently great he was in cases of life and death— how irresistible he was, when he entranced juries by the magic of his eloquence, and deprived men of their reason as he overwhelmed them in admiration of his transcendent genius. By universal consent he was regarded as having no rival in this branch of his profession. It would be a grateful task to me, and a most agreeable one, to dwell upon the beauties of many of his published speeches. Who but Baker could draw such houses in old Music Hall, as Webster alone could summon in Faneuil Hall? Who could call alike the student and the mechanic to hear him discourse on advantages of free labor and the duty of government to protect and encourage it? Who could dim the eye of beauty with a tear of sympathy and soften the heart of the miser in one and the same effort, while he pleaded the cause of benevolence and heavenly charity? Who like him could call the miner from digging gold, the farmer from his plow, the man of business from his work, while he talked as one inspired of the thousand blessings of our Union, and the greatness that awaited us in the future? To those who have thus heard him, how "stale, flat and unprofitable" must be the effort of any other! How often, when we have thus heard him, with a heart overflowing with patriotism, and an eye of fire, when he spoke of the inestimable value of our Constitution and Union, of our mission among the nations of the earth, when he seemed to "stoop to touch the loftiest thought" which other men would toil laboriously to reach, have we thought he appeared to be the very personification of the apostrophe of the great poet of nature to man: "How noble in reason, how infinite in faculties; in form and moving, how express and admirable; in apprehension, how like a god!"
He remained in California until February, 1860. Then he attempted and achieved what no other man but E. D. BAKER could have performed. He had for years scattered the seeds which he saw had at last promised to bring forth good fruit in California, when he determined to perform in Oregon, upon a larger scale, what he had done in Illinois. Many who heard of his intentions, prophesied he was going on a "sleeveless errand," that he was a Quixotic Hotspur who imagined "it were an easy leap to pluck bright honor from the pale-faced moon." But he went to Oregon. He drew crowds to hear him. In a little more than six months he appeared again among us, on his way to Washington City, Senator from Oregon! It was, in evil conflict, like that of Julius Cæsar in arms over Pharnaces, as described by himself, Veni, vidi, vici— If "Peace hath her victories as well as War," where is the conqueror whose laurels will not pale their ineffectual glories, before those of Baker? His success in the Galena District of Illinois and in Oregon is unequaled by anything that ever occurred in the history of our country.
He took his seat in the Senate in December, 1860. Much was expected of him; he did not disappoint the hopes of his friends. In January, 1861, in answer to the talented Benjamin, the skillful and accomplished orator of "high exploit" in the Senate— "a fairer person lost not heaven"— he made a speech celebrated for strength of argument, logical power and majestic eloquence, which would have honored the Senate in the days of Webster, Clay and Crittenden. He was beyond comparison the foremost man in debate in that illustrious body, the Senate of the United States. It might have been expected, as it was ardently hoped by his countrymen, that here he would remain, and enjoy the fruits of an honorable ambition. But no; it was ordered otherwise by fate. The ruling passion of his soul, that "made his ambition virtue"— an unconquerable wish to serve and save his comfort. In his own glowing words in the House of Representatives, in 1850, "I have bared my bosom to the battles on the Northwestern frontier in my youth, and on the Southwestern frontier in my manhood; and if the time should come when disunion rules the hour, and discord is to reign supreme, I shall again be ready to give the best blood in my veins to my country's cause."
The time had come, and he was ready to do at the cannon's mouth what he had professed in the halls of Congress. His noble soul was on the side of his country in the dreadful contest brought about by desperate and wicked ambition. His voice in the Senate and in the public assemblies stirred the hearts of his countrymen to rally in support of the best Government over seen by man. After the adjournment of Congress he attended a public meeting in New York, in April, 1861, probably the largest ever held in our country, and there, amid the learned and able men of that great city, he stimulated the public mind and aroused his countrymen to renewed efforts in behalf of our Union. It was there he spoke by the side of the lion-hearted, the patriotic Dickinson— himself remarkable for strength of intellect and great power of oratory— who at a speech in Brooklyn, New York, thus speaks of our friend:
Alas, poor Baker! He was swifter than an eagle! He was stronger than a lion! And the very soul of bravery and manly daring. He spoke by my side at the great Union Square meeting in April, and his words of fiery and patriotic eloquence yet ring upon my ear. And has that noble heart ceased to throb— that pulse to play? Has that beaming eye been closed in death? Has that tongue of eloquence silenced for ever? Yes, but he has died in the cause of humanity—
"Whether on the scaffold high,
Or in the army's van,
The fittest place for man to die
Is where he dies for man!
He raised a regiment and led them on in their country's cause. It is not necessary now to discuss why the result of the battle of Edward's Ferry was not different. To Baker's fame it is all right. He fell in the cause of human liberty, in defense of the Union, in defense of his country. He fell with his "back to the field, his face to the foe," and long as Liberty has a votary on earth, as long as the name of Washington is revered among men, and his principles cherished by his countrymen, so long will the name of Baker be remembered with gratitude and admiration.
No man who knew Baker, can doubt the sincerity and noble disinterestedness of his attachment to his political principles. In Illinois, in California, against overwhelming numbers, unseduced by the syren song promising promotion, he kept on the even tenor of his way. As statesman, he was never suspected in the days of highest party excitement, of trimming his sails to catch the breeze of popular applause. He did not purpose to embark with his friends on the "smooth surface of a summer sea," and leave them when the winds whistled and the billows roared. He was
Constant as the Northern Star,
Of whose true, fixed and resting quality
There is no fellow in the firmament.
In political contests, when armed with the consciousness of being right, as at the cannon's mouth, he never feared to encounter any adversary, or ever thought of consequences to himself. He went into political contests as he did to the field of battle, where mortal engines "immortal Jove's dread clamors counterfeit."
On the morning of the fatal 21st of October, 1861, when he crossed the Potomac, he went to perform his duty to the "whole country, of which he was a devoted and affectionate son." He thought he was right, and in the path of duty; and I can imagine as he stood on the banks of the Potomac, whose rushing waters red with patriotic blood, were in a few hours to dash their moaning waves on Mount Vernon's shore, with a full knowledge of the danger of death before him, he had in his mind the noble thoughts to which he gave utterance in the Senate on the 2d of January previous. "Right and duty are always majestic ideas. They march an invisible guard in the van of all true progress; they animate the loftiest spirit in the public assemblies; they nerve the arm of the warrior; they kindle the soul of the statesman and the imagination of the poet; they sweeten every reward; they console every defeat. Sir, they are of themselves an indissoluble chain which binds feeble, erring humanity to the eternal throne of God."
In private life he was most amiable and affectionate.
I am indebted to the Rev. Thomas H. Pearne of Portland, Oregon, who thus speaks of an incident which illustrates the strength of his filial affection and duty. After his election as Senator, he addressed a letter to his mother:
It was the first he was to send being the Senatorial frank. Who so fitting a recipient of that first letter as that aged mother? On the way to the post-office with the letter in hand, conversing with a friend, he remarked with fond pride, that his mother, then more than 80 years of age, was a woman of strong, cultivated mind; that she had often taken down his speeches in short-hand, which she wrote with elegance and rapidity; that she was a beautiful writer, and that she still retained in vigor her mental faculties. As the son was transmitting this evidence of his success to his mother, and recounting her virtues and excellencies, his eyes filled with tears, which coursed their way down his cheeks. In itself the incident is trivial, yet it illustrates two things— the influence of that strongminded, intelligent mother in training her son for greatness and usefulness, and the generous tide of sympathy which beats in his manly heart.
He has as much unworldliness as Goldsmith; no love of filthy lucre ever found a resting-place in his heart. For years I have known him well, and part of the time was associated with him in business, and I never heard a profane word or irreverent expression from his lips. He never uttered or wrote a line that could impair the celestial comfort of a Christian's hope. As a man, he was possessed of that most excellent gift, charity, towards all who differed with him; he never indulged in bitterness of speech towards political opponents, nor toward those who had done him personal wrong. I have never known a man in public life whose heart more abounded in generous philanthropy for all mankind. He exhibited this feeling at the bar, when he was conscious of his superiority over a younger or feebler adversary. He would have manifested the same generosity had he been victorious in the last battle of his life, and deserved the eulogium pronounced by him on Gen. Taylor: "Nor, sir, can we forget that in the flush of victory, the gentle heart stayed the bold hand, while the conquering soldier offered sacrifice on the altar of pity, amid all the exultation of triumph."
He had talents that only needed cultivation to have insured him distinction, as a poet.
The following poem is given as an illustration of his poetical powers. It was sent from Washington City to the Philadelphia Press, (shortly after Col. Baker's death,) by Col. Forney, with these comments.
Poem by Col. Baker.
"In my comments upon the lamented Colonel Baker I stated that, in addition to his many other intellectual gifts, he was a fine poet— a remark that was received by many with surprise. I am permitted to publish one of his fugitive pieces, written by him twelve years ago, and now in possession of an intimate friend in this city. Observe how the last verse applies to his fate:"
Dost thou seek a star with thy swelling crest,
O wave, that leavest thy mother's breast?
Dost thou leap from the prisoned depths below
In scorn of their calm and constant flow?
Or art thou seeking some distant land
To die in murmurs upon the strand?
Hast thou tales to tell of pearl-lit deep,
Where the wave-whelmed mariner rocks in sleep?
Canst thou speak of navies that sunk in pride
Ere the roll of their thunder in echo died?
What trophies, what banners, are floating free
In the shadowy depths of that silent sea?
It were vain to ask, as thou rollest afar,
Of banner, or mariner, ship or star;
It were vain to seek in thy stormy face
Some tale of the sorrowful past to trace.
Thou art swelling high, thou art flashing free,
How vain are the questions we ask of thee !
I too am a wave on a stormy sea;
I too am a wanderer, driven like thee;
I too am seeking a distant land
To be lost and gone ere I reach the strand.
For the land I seek is a waveless shore
And they who once reach it shall wander no more.
It has fallen to the lot of few men to be distinguished at the bar, in popular assemblies, in the Senate, and in the tented field. Viewed in this light, Baker's fame is the "tall cliff whose awful form" overshadows other men of his day. The practice of the law sharpens the intellect, but narrows its power of comprehension. It had no unfavorable influence on his genius. The great Erskine, unrivaled in his day in the forum, disappointed the hopes of all when he sat in Parliament. But Baker was an Erskine at the bar and a Chatham in the Senate. The magnificent Burke, whose splendid diction grows better by time, had no power to stir men's blood as Baker had. Excepting our own Webster, no man of modern times has been so successful as Baker in the forum, in the Senate, and before popular assemblies. I have already referred to his surprising power in addressing audiences of literary or benevolent character. Which of us that heard or read his speech on the occasion of celebrating the laying of the Atlantic cable, in 1858, can ever forget his beautiful apostrophe to science?—
On Science, thou thought-clad leader of the company of pure and great souls that toil for their race and love their kind! Measurer of the depths of earth and the recesses of heaven! Apostle of civilization, hand-maid of religion, teacher of human equality and human right, perpetual witness for the Divine wisdom, be ever, as now, the great minister of peace! Let thy starry brow and benign front still gleam in the van of progress, brighter than the sword of the conqueror, and welcome as the light of heaven.
Who can forget his reference on the same occasion to the magnificent comet, then kindling the admiration of all beholders in its pathway of celestial glory?—
"But even while we assemble to mark the deed and rejoice at its completion, the Almighty, as if to impress us with our weakness when compared with his power, has set a new signal of his reign in heaven. If to-night, fellow-citizens, you will look out from the glare of your illuminated city into the northwestern heavens, you will perceive low down on the edge of the horizon a bright stranger pursuing its path across the sky. Amid the starry hosts that keep their watch, it shines attended by a brighter pomp and followed by a broader train. No living man has gazed upon its splendors before. No watchful votary of science has traced its course for nearly ten generations. It is more than 300 years since its approach was visible from our planet. When last it came it startled an Emperor on his throne, and while the superstition of his age taught him to perceive in its presence a herald and a doom, his pride saw in its flaming course and fiery train the announcement that his own light was about to be extinguished. In common with the lowest of his subjects, he read omens of destruction in the baleful heavens, and prepared himself for a fate which alike awaits the mightiest and the meanest. Thanks to the present condition of scientific knowledge, we read the heavens with a far clearer perception. We see in the predicted return of the rushing, blazing, comet through the sky, the march of a heavenly messenger along its appointed way and around its predestined orbit. For 300 years he has traveled amid the regions of infinite space. "Lone, wandering, but not lost," he has left behind him shining suns, blazing stars and gleaming constellations, now nearer the eternal throne, and again on the confines of the universe— he returns with visage radiant and benign; he returns with unimpeded march and unobstructed way; he returns, the majestic, swift electric telegraph of the Almighty, bearing upon his flaming front the tidings that throughout the universe there is still peace and order; that amid the immeasurable dominions of the Great King, His rule is still perfect; that suns and stars and systems tread their endless circle and obey the eternal law.
Are not these thoughts rays of immortality which cast a bright halo around the fame of Baker? He had errors — what mortal has not?— he was conscious of them, and repented of them in sackcloth and ashes. But who can think of the early career of this foreign-born boy, deprived by Almighty dispensation of a father's care when a child of tender years; of his noble struggle against poverty; of his wonderful acquirements while working with his own hands; of his extraordinary attainments under the most depressing circumstances on a western frontier; of his great virtues in the domestic relations of life; of his gentle and charitable heart; of his patriotic soul devoted to his whole country, full of fiery zeal in the cause of liberty, yet untainted by the poison of fanaticism which corrupts the heart and clouds the mind; above all, of his steady, unfaltering devotion to his country, in peace and in war; of his patriotic life and glorious death— who can think of these, and refuse to say with the friend now attempting with tremulous diffidence to weave a modest garland around his brow, in doing these fair rites of tenderness—
Adieu, and take thy praise with thee to Heaven!
Let thy errors sleep with thee in the grave
But not remembered in thy epitaph !
A few weeks after his election to the United States Senate, in 1860, Gen. Baker, while en route to Washington, addressed a very large mass meeting in San Francico, convened under the auspices of the Republican State Central Committee. His speech on this occasion was regarded by very many of his admirers as the greatest effort of his life, although delivered without preparation. It was reported in full, and extensively circulated as a campaign document. Near the close of the speech occurred this impassioned tribute to Freedom:
"Here, then, long years ago, I took my stand by Freedom, and where in youth my feet were planted, there my manhood and my age shall march. And, for one, I am not ashamed of Freedom. I know her power; I rejoice in her majesty; I walk beneath her banner; I glory in her strength. I have seen her again and again struck down on a hundred chosen fields of battle. I have seen her friends fly from her. I have seen her foes gather around her. I have seen them bind her to the stake. I have seen them give her ashes to the wind, regathering them again, that they might scatter them yet more widely. But when they turned to exult, I have seen her again meet them, face to face, clad in complete steel, and brandishing in her strong right hand a flaming sword, red with insufferable light. And, therefore, I take courage. The people gather around her once more. The Genius of America will at last lead her sons to Freedom."
We honor him especially for the self-immolating spirit which led him, like Curtius, to plunge in the gulf of hope of saving his country. He was not impelled by any dream of wild ambition. Not being born in the Atlantic States, he could not be President. He had attained the highest station, in his opinion, on earth; a station, as he said, "more exalted than that of a Roman Senator, Consul, Proconsul or Emperor." He had obtained the position of the first debater in the Senate. His friend with whom he had played in childhood, "his own familiar friend" with whom he had taken sweet counsel, had become President of the United States. That friend still loved him and rejoiced at this success. He could have passed an easy and luxurious life on the primrose path of Senatorial dignity and influence. But his country was in danger— he took no thought of himself.
He "loved the name of honor more than he feared death." I honor his memory especially that notwithstanding his life-long zeal in the cause of liberty, he was true to "the Constitution and all its compromises," as he proclaimed again and again in his public addresses. He was animated by no sectional hostility, but regarded our Union "as less a work of human prudence than of Providential interposition." In the spirit of a disciple of Washington, as a friend of Webster and Clay, he said:
"Let the laws be maintained and the Union preserved, at whatever cost. By whatever constitutional process, though whatever of darkness or danger there may be, let us proceed in the broad luminous path of duty, till danger's troubled night be passed and the star of peace returns."
At the Union Mass Meeting in New York City, May 20th, 1861, Gen. Baker thus concluded a speech of great eloquence and power:
And if, from the far Pacific, a voice feebler than the feeblest murmur upon its shore may be heard to give you courage and hope in the contest, that voice is yours to-day. And if a man whose hair is gray, who is well nigh worn out in the battle and toil of life, may pledge himself on such an occasion, and in such an audience, let me say, as my last word, that when amid sheeted fire and flame, I saw and led the hosts of New York as they charged in contest upon a foreign soil for the honor of your flag; so again, if Providence shall will it, this feeble hand shall draw a sword never yet dishonored— not to fight for distant honor in a foreign land, but to fight for country, for home, for law, for government, for constitution, for right, for freedom, for humanity, and in the hope that the banner of my country may advance, and wheresoever that banner waves, there glory may pursue and freedom be established.
It would be unjust to his memory and to his countrymen to whom his memory will ever be dear, to omit to speak of his funeral oration over the dead body of a Senator from California, who died "tangled in the meshes of the code of honor." I have read no effort of that character, called out by such an event, so admirable, so touching, so worthy the sweet eloquence of Baker. That one effort should crown him with immortality. Baker was a brave man. He has proved it often. He had, as an honorable colleague said in the House of Representatives— "in the battles of his country carved the evidence of his devotion to his government," and gave there proof of his courage. He proved it on the bloody field of Cerro Gordo, when he was praised by the greatest of living soldiers for his fine behavior and success. He has proved it by his death. Yet he knew that dueling was a sin. He knew it deserved reprobation and was unhallowed by any or all of the illustrious names who had yielded to its requirements under the tyranny of a barbarous public opinion. He gave his unqualified condemnation to a code which offers "to personal vindictiveness a life due only to a country, a family and to God." Broderick had many good qualities that excited Baker's admiration. Both were self-made men; both had risen from poverty to the highest position. Let Baker's denunciation of this unchristian, barbarous code be remembered to his undying honor:
To-day I renew my protest; to-day I utter yours. The code of honor is a delusion and a snare. It palters the hope of a true courage and binds it at the feet of crafty and cruel skill. It surrounds its victim with the pomp and grace of the procession but leaves him bleeding on the altar. It substitutes cold, and deliberate preparation for courageous and manly impulse, and arms the one to disarm the other. It may prevent fraud between practiced duelists— who should be forever without its pale— but it makes the mere "trick of the weapon" superior to the noblest cause and the truest courage. Its picture of equality is a lie. It is equal in all the form, it is unjust in all the substance. The habitué of arms, the early training, the frontier life, the bloody war, the sectional custom, the life of leisure, all these are advantages which no negotiations can neutralize and no courage can overcome.
There was a moral courage and sublimity in it that has a fadeless lustre, reflected by his glorious death. Not far from each other—
Where Ocean tells its rushing waves
To murmur dirges round their waves—
these two distinguished men will repose in Lone Mountain cemetery until the trump of the Archangel shall sound and "summon this mortal to put on immortality." Let their monuments arise to meet the eye of the ocean-worn exile as he comes near this haven of rest. Let them tell the traveler, as the landscape fades from his sight on leaving our gorgeous land, "the paths of glory lead but to the grave." Let parents of unnumbered generations encourage their children to love that country for which Baker died— to cherish our Government and its institutions, which can thus advance the humblest of her sons. There let them rest, honored for their virtues, respected for their public services, mourned by thousands of all nations now present who will unite with us in saying:
How sleep the bravo who sink to rest,
By all their country's wishes blest!
When Spring, with dewy fingers cold,
Returns to deck their hallowed mould,
She there shall dress a sweeter sod
Than Fancy's feet have ever trod.
By fairy hands their knell is rung,
By forms unseen their dirge is sung;
There Honor comes, a pilgrim grey,
To bless the turf that wraps their clay;
And Freedom shall awhile repair
To dwell a weeping hermit there!
Farewell, gallant spirit! While thy death in trumpet tones tells us "God only is great," may it increase our devotion for the Omnipotent Almighty, who out of the dust could create such a being as thou wast. May it increase our gratitude that our lot is cast under a government, for whose preservation you poured out the best blood in your veins. Though the sad heart-moving words, "earth to earth, ashes to ashes, dust to dust," have been pronounced over thy earthly remains, yet in your own burning words— and what more appropriate ornament for the bier of him who earned the title of the "Gray Eagle of Republicanism," than a plume from his own wing, a "feather that adorned the royal bird and supported his flight?"—
Your thoughts will remain. They will go forward and conquer. They are gathering now into a stream. They are spreading into a rushing, boiling and bounding river. They are controlling men's minds. They are maturing lives. They are kindling men's words. They are freeing men's souls. And as surely as the great procession of Heaven's host above us moves each in its appointed place and orbit, so surely shall the proud principles of human right and freedom prevail.
And hereafter, when the "banner of Freedom streams proudly to the wind in honor of victory— when peace o'er the world extends her olive wand"— when the great and good are remembered, you will not be forgotten. We will remember the man "of foreign birth who laid down his life for the land of his adoption." When the roll is called of Freedom's great martyrs, your sacrifices, your fidelity to liberty, will be remembered, and ten thousand times ten thousand patriot tongues shall say of you, as it was said of another soldier in another struggle, "Fallen upon the field of honor."
"But the last word must be spoken, and the imperious mandate of death must be fulfilled. Patriot-warrior, farewell! Thus, oh brave heart! we leave thee to the equal grave. As in life, no other voice among us so rung its trumpet tones upon the ear of freemen, so in death its echoes will reverberate amid our mountains and our valleys, until the truth and valor cease to appeal to the human heart."
Address of Rev. Thos. Starr King.
The story of our great friend's life had been eloquently told. We have borne him now to the home of the dead, to the Cemetery which, after fit services of prayer, he devoted in a tender and thrilling speech, to its hallowed purpose. In that address, he said: "Within these grounds public reverence and gratitude shall build the tombs of warriors and statesmen *** who have given all their lives and their best thoughts to their country." Could he forecast, seven years ago, any such fulfillment of those words as this hour reveals? He confessed the conviction before he went into the battle which bereaved us, that his last hour was near. Could any slight shadow of his destiny have been thrown across his path, as he stood here when these grounds were dedicated, and looked over slopes unfurrowed then by the plowshare of death?
His words were prophetic. Yes, warrior and statesman, wise in council, graceful and electric as few have been in speech, ardent and vigorous in debate, but nobler than for all these qualities by the devotion which prompted thee to give more than they wisdom, more than thy eagle eye in the great assemblies of the people— even the blood of thy indomitable heart— when thy country called with a cry of peril,— we receive thee with tears and pride. We find thee dearer then when thou camest to speak to us in the full tide of life and vigor. Thy wounds through which thy life was poured are not "dumb mouths," but eloquent with the intense and perpetual appeal of thy soul. We receive thee to "reverance and gratitude," as we lay thee gently to thy sleep; and we pledge to thee, not only a monument that shall hold thy name, but a memorial in the hearts of a grateful people, so long as the Pacific moans near thy resting-place, and a fame eminent among the heroes of the Republic so long as the mountains shall feed the Oregon! The poet tells us, in pathetic cadence, that the paths of glory lead but to the grave. But this is true only in the superficial sense. It is true that the famous and the obscure, the devoted and the ignoble, "alike await the inevitable hour." But the path of true glory does not end in the grave. It passes through it to larger opportunities of service. Do not believe or feel that we are burying Edward Baker. A great nature is a seed. "It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body." It germinates thus in this world as well as in the other. Was Warren buried when he fell on the field of a defeat, pierced through the brain, at the commencement of the Revolution, by a bullet that put the land in mourning? No; the monument that has been raised where his blood reddened the sod, granite though it be in a hundred course, is a feeble witness of the permanence and influence of his spirit among the American people. He mounted into literature from the moment that he fell; he began to move the soul of a great community; and part of the principal and enthusiasm of Massachusetts to-day is due to his sacrifice, to the presence of his spirit as a power in the life of the State.
Did Montgomery lose his influence as a force in the Revolution because he died without victory, on its threshold, pierced with three wounds, before Quebec? Philadelphia was in tears for him, as it has been for our hero; his eulogies were uttered by the most eloquent tongues of America and Britain, and a thrill of his power beats in the volumes of our history, and runs yet through the onset of every Irish brigade beneath the American banner, which he planted on Montreal.
Did Lawrence die when his breath expired in the defeat on the sea, after his exclamation, "Don't give up the ship!" What victorious captain in that naval war shed forth such power? His spirit soared and touched every flag on every frigate, to make its red more commanding and its stars flame brighter; it went abroad in songs, and every sailor felt him and feels him now as an inspiration.
God is giving us new heroes to be enthroned with those of the earlier struggles. Before our guests victories come, He gives us, as in former years, names to rally for, and examples to inflame us with the old and the unconquerable fire. Ellsworth, Lyon, Winthrop, Baker, our patriots who have fallen in ill-success, will hallow our new contest, and exert wider influences as spirit-heroes than over their regiments and battalions, while they shall ascend to a more tender honor in the nation's memory and gratitude.
And other avenues of service than those of the earth are opened for such as he whom we are waiting to lay in the tomb. "It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory," saith the Sacred Word. God has higher uses for such spirits. In the Father's house are many mansions; and Christ hath prepared the place for all ranks of mortals for whom he died. The mysteries of the other world are not revealed. The principles of judgment, the tests of acceptance and of the Supreme eminence are unfolded. Intellect, genius, knowledge, faith, shall be as nothing before humility, sacrifice, charity. But in the uses of charity the fiery tongue, the furnished mind, the unquailing heart, shall have ample opportunities, and ampler then here. Paul goes to an immense service still as an Apostle; Newton to reflect from grander heavens a vaster light. As we shut the door of the tomb of genius, let it be with gratitude to God for its splendor here, and with a hope for its future that swells our bosom, though its outline be dim.
And let us not be tempted, in view of the sudden close of our gifted friend's career, in any sad and skeptical spirit, to say, "What shadows we are, and what shadows we pursue!" The soul is not a shadow. The body is. Genius is not a shadow. It is a substance. Patriotism is not a shadow. It is light. Great purposes, and the spirit that counts death nothing in contrast with honor and the welfare of our country,— these are the witnesses that man is not a passing vapor, but an immortal spirit.
Husband and father, brother and friend, Senator and soldier, genius and hero, we give thee, not to the grave and gloom— we give thee to God, to thy place in the country's heart, and to the great services that may await thee in the world of dawn beyond the sunset, with tears, with affection, with gratitude, and with prayer.

JC Council approves both conference center proposals
Tue, 19 Nov 2013 05:16:53 GMT —
By a vote of 6-4, the Jefferson City Council decided to move forward with both proposals for a conference center, essentially waiting until later to make a final choice.
One location is downtown on Broadway at East McCarty Street, and would be constructed by the Ehrhardt Group. The other is at Capital Mall and would be constructed by Farmer Holding Company, the same company which owns Capital Mall.
Supporters said Monday's vote was the most equitable solution because of uncertainties the city faces with both developers, including issues pertaining to land acquisition and the cost for construction of additional parking.
The majority of people who spoke during Monday's public hearing said they were not in favor of either proposal, and that the council should vote to reject both proposals.
Some members of the Council shared their sentiments and held out for that action until the end.
"At this point, neither one is right," said 4th Ward Councilwoman Carrie Carroll. "Neither one is outstanding. Until they're outstanding, they're not going to be capable of getting our nine million dollars until we are enthused that this is right."
Although Councilman Ken Hussey initially introduced a motion to reject both proposals, there were concerns from other council members that doing so would send the whole process back to square one.
Interim City Administrator Drew Hilpert said so far, Jefferson City has spent about $40,000 out of pocket on this issue. Not making a final decision, he said, would cost the city even more money.
Still, however, Mayor Eric Streumph was pleased with the outcome.
"I think we've been at this a long time, I think we deserve to get some unanswered questions answered on both sides, from both developers," Streumph said. "I look forward to working as fast as we can to get to the bottom of what the council likes and truly doesn't like about each, get a contract for one and see where we go from there."
Despite the slowdown, Kirk Farmer of the Farmer Holding Company said he was happy the Council made the decision it did.
"It could have gone either way, but we were pleased to see the council push both plans forward," Farmer said. "It will really give the public a chance to vet us out."
Hilpert said it could take anywhere from two months to a year before the next step of the process is complete and contracts are in writing.

John Chiv/My Word
I have had two father figures in my life. Two men that believed in me, protected me, guided me, taught me right from wrong, and were always there for me. For an orphan, I felt lost when Fr. Loren left in 2010. I thought my world had ended; I was vulnerable and scared of what the future held for me at home. That is what St. Bernard Church is for me. It is where I go, it is where I want to be, it is the place that I feel safest and happiest.
For seven years Fr. Loren is who I turned to when I felt lost, hurt, happy, confused. The parish members are my family. They have been through with me every day in the happiest and most difficult years of my life.
Fr. Loren had left to go to his new parish and Fr. Eric arrived. I remember the first conversation I had with Fr. Eric and where it was -- the beginning of path between the church and rectory that Gary Lee Bullock paced frantically before he entered the rectory and took away my other father. For three years, Fr. Eric was there for me.
I spend so much time at church daily that there is not a moment or place where I don't remember Fr. Eric. I have been shell-shocked; I have not had a chance to mourn him. I sat stoically through the court proceedings. And finally last week, the hurt and the pain was too much to bear.
In the two weeks in between I struggled with anger at Gary Lee Bullock. At one moment during the court proceedings I looked at him, and I felt a momentary lapse of hate. I spoke to Deacon Frank, Fr. Greg, Fr. Carlos and our bishop and went to confession. Such feelings separate me from the grace of God. Their words and guidance helped and once I expressed that feeling and asked for forgiveness, I prayed to want to forgive Bullock and for the strength to do it.
The anger dissipated instantly, the lapse of feeling hate was just one moment, but I was not ready to forgive.
Bullock should be fairly tried in a court of justice. There is no sentence, no judgment, nothing that will bring Fr. Eric back. I will never forget the pain he caused, the destruction and violation of my home. The human part of me will go through the process of grieving.
I did not expect to say today that I do forgive Bullock. Not only do I forgive him, I pray for him. I pray that whatever caused him to do such a heinous act and the pain and hurt he feels and the darkness he needs to escape that he be free of all of it.
The people who knew Fr. Eric, especially the Catholic community, have prayed for Bullock from the first day even in the midst of our own pain and grief.
I do not condone what Bullock did. I do not buy the speculation of why. It is no longer important to me. If I had not forgiven him, I remain stuck in a place, never free of Bullock and his mistake.
Forgiveness isn't easy. It is a process. It is individual but once genuinely enacted, it truly sets you free. It is my faith and living of my faith that made this possible.
Living in this world, growth like this will be one step at a time. It does not mean that starting at this moment I will be perfect in my words and actions. What I do know is that if I can forgive Bullock and see him as a broken, hurt individual crying out in his own pain, instead of the monster that took away my father, I can be a better person bringing about the changes in this community and viewing people I do not understand or like in a different light.

Maxine Foster Pace 1922 ~ 2011
Beloved mother and sister, Maxine Foster Pace, passed away peacefully of natural causes at her home in Holladay, Utah, on February 5, 2011.She was born January 27, 1922, to Lawrence (Jack) Foster and Laura Agnes Welker in Safford, Graham County, Arizona.

Jim and Maxine are parents to one daughter, Janet. Maxine was an appreciator and creator of beautiful things. An extraordinary seamstress, she crafted incredible doll clothes when she was very young. She graduated from Safford High School and pursued her talents by attending Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, and Charrette's School of Fashion Design in Los Angeles, California. Pursuing her passion, she designed and tailored beautiful dresses for herself and Janet. Any craft or sewing project was completed with perfection. In her forties, she discovered the joy of quilting.

Through her entire life up to the end, she continued to express love and concern for family and dear friends. These last months and weeks have been filled with expressions of thanks for even the tiniest acts of service. Maxine is survived by her daughter, Janet Pace, of Holladay, Utah; and her sister and brother-in-law, Beth and Charles Alexander of Scottsdale, Arizona. Many loving nephews and nieces and their posterity also survive her. A celebration of her life will be held at the LDS Valley View 11th Ward, 1925 E.
