Pope Francis of New Rome... Washington, DC (Tindall, Standard history of the city of Washington, 1914)

Image
Text: none Quote:    We do not read of other white settlers visiting the site of the District of Columbia until the close of the Seventeenth Century, when a company of Irish and Scotch came over and started a colony in Maryland within the present limits of the District. Of the land ceded to these settlers three tracts lay within the boundaries of the City of Washington.    These refugees seem to have been good managers and to have succeeded accordingly. They called their new home New Scotland and worked their farms in peace and quiet, little dreaming that land where their produce grew would one day be the territory of one of the proudest cities of one of the greatest nations of earth’s history.    One of these early proprietors, Robert Troop, called his farm “Scotland Yard,” and it comprised what is now South-east Washington. Another, Francis Pope, named his place Rome, and called a small stream at the foot of his...

Sabbath in Asia (Buchanan, Christian researches in Asia, 4th ed., 1811)

Image
  Text:  "Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: But the seventh day is the sabbath of the Lord thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: For in six days the Lord made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the Lord blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it."  Exodus 20:8-11 Quote:    The Armenians in Hindostan are our own subjects. They acknowledge our government in India, as they do that of the Sophi in Persia; and they are entitled to our regard. They have preserved the Bible in its purity; and their doctrines are, as far as the Author knows, the doctrines of the Bible. Besides, they maintain the solemn observance of Christian worship, throughout our Empire, on the seventh day; and they have...

Text: none Quote:    That the light of Christianity dawned upon these islands in the course of the first century, is a matter of historical certainty, but the instrument by which this blessed work was accomplished, is a question which will always be involved in obscurity both from the number of conflicting testimonies, and the remoteness of the period to which they relate.
