"The congregational way" : an historical study of the congregational doctrine of the church

  • Description: From Preface: In this Ecumenical Age it is necessary that each Christian Communion consider again its particular doctrine of the Church, and restate it for the benefit of the whole Body of Christ. This Thesis is an attempt to show some historical and theological facets of the traditional Congregational doctrine of the Church. However, it must be stated that a full exposition of Congregational ecclesiology is an impossible task for any thesis. Firstly, inherent within Congregationalism is the fear of dogmatizing about matters of faith and practice. It has expressed itself in Statements and Declarations but always with the qualification that these things are 'commonly believed amongst us' Therefore, Congregationalism, while it has a characteristic ecclesiology, has never formulated a rigid pattern of Churchmanship which has to be adhered to by all the Churches. Secondly, a full study of Congregational ecclesiology would entail the study of the practices of every Congregational Church through the ages. That is an impossible task. Therefore, we have been confined to available material; but material which nevertheless expresses what we would regard as traditional congregationalism. Thirdly, a study of this nature must be content merely to state, however critically, what Congregationalists have believed about the Church at various times in the history of Congregationalism. It is impossible to convey the pulse and feeling of the life of a Congregational Church, for it is very important in seeking to understand any Churchmanship, not only to understand its theological form and structure, but also to experience its ' koinonia ' in its common life and worship.

  • Authors: Gore, William Tompson
  • Date: 1961
  • Subjects: Molybdenum , Plants -- Analysis , Spectrophotometry , Polarography
  • Language: English
  • Type: Thesis , Masters , MSc
  • Identifier: vital:4477 , http://hdl.handle.net/10962/d1012071 , Molybdenum , Plants -- Analysis , Spectrophotometry , Polarography
  • Description: 1. Polarographic and spectrophotometric methods for the determination of molybdenum were reviewed. 2. The inclusion of salicylaldoxine in several supporting electrolytes was examined with a view to developing a polarographic procedure, suitable for routine analyses, which did not necessitate a preliminary time-consuming separation stage. A stable molybdenum wave was obtained from an electrolyte having a composition similar to the test solution obtained after the wet digestion of plant material. The height of the wave was found to be, over an optimum range, independent of the reagent concentrations. The wave was however distorted by a maximum, which rendered it unsuitable for quantitative analytical application. 3. The spectrophotometric procedure for molybdenum using thiocyanate is virtually specific and was examined critically. Modifications were found to improve the sensitivity of the procedure, and the stability of the chromatic compound. 4. The modified spectrophotometric procedure is recommended for the routine determination of molybdenum in plant material.

  • Description: [Summary] Sixty-three species, drawn from the genera Rosellinia Hypoxylon, Nummularia, Daldinia, Penzigia and Xylaria, are studied in order to determine whether any correlation exists between various characters of the perfect stage and characters connected with the mycelium in artificial culture that might be used to supplement the existing classification of the Xylariaceae. An examination is made of the morphological and anatomical characters of several stromal types and a statistical method of evaluating differences in ascospore dimension between samples of closely related species is described. Cultural work shows that :- a) Each species group, based primarily on similarity of stromal form, has a characteristic set of cultural characters. b) Members within a Species group can usually be distinguished clearly in culture. The use of cultural characters as an additional criterion in classification is therefore recommended.

  • Description: The work of previous writers on the origin and propagation of solar radio noise, and particularly the correlation with visual events is reviewed, and then the construction of the author's 300 Mc/s receiver described. With a view to the author's project, absorption of electromagnetic radiation in the solar corona is quantitatively discussed, and a method for determining the intensity without absorption of a radio burst is evolved. The main project involves briefly the discovery of any possible relationship between the magnitude of a visual flare and the corrected intensity of an associated radio burst as measured at 125 Mc/s. It is concluded that no definite relation exists, but from this consideration an approximate shape of the instantaneous frequency profile of outburst elements is obtained. An extension of the theory to isolated bursts enables us to predict both this bandshape, and the velocity of an exciting agency moving radially through the corona.

An investigation of the behaviour and biology of the Citrus Mussel Scale, Lepidosaphes Beckii (Newm.)

  • Description: The citrus industry is subject to a number of serious insect pests. Of these, the most important is a sedentary group known as the Armoured Scale Insects (Diaspididae). Ebeling (1950) states that they are of greater economic importance to the industry than all the other pests put together. A great deal has been published on various aspects of the biology, ecology and control of the Diaspididae, much of the work appearing in the books of Quayle (1938), Ebeling (1950) and Bodenheimer (1951). It is very noticeable, however, that the study of the active larvae, or "crawlers", of these insects has been relatively neglected. This lack of work on crawlers is surprising, since they are the only distributive stage in the life cycle of the species. The adult male is also free-living during its brief life span, but takes no part in the actual distribution of the species. It is the position of the female Scale Insect which is important in determining the further spread of the species, since this is the point from which subsequent crawlers will start out on their wanderings. The stage in the life cycle responsible for the position of the female is, of course, the crawler. The crawler is also responsible for the parallel distribution of the male Scales, so that the female can be fertilised. The role of the adult male is confined to the maintenance of the gene flow. From an economic point of view it seems desirable that a complete study be made of the biology of this distributive stage of these important pests.

  • Description: Description on the back of published version (published in 1982 by Africasouth Paperbacks by David Philip): "Of Chocolates for my wife, first published in 1961 (and 'banned' in South Africa until July 1982), Matshikiza said, "This is a book about real people, many of them my friends, and about a few of the experiences I have share with them." It tells in his own wry, vivacious, coruscating style of black life in the Johannesburg of Orlando, Sophiatown and Alexandra Township when King Kong was in rehearsal - and in sharp contrast to this, of the adventures of the Matshikiza family in London." This book was first published by Hodder & Stoughton, London in 1961.

Construction of a wide-frequency range double heterodyne conductance bridge and its use in the investigation of polarisation errors in conductance measurements

  • Description: (1) Developments in a.c. conductance techniques during the past ninety years have been reviewed, and a brief outline is given of the older theories regarding electrolytic polarisation. (2) A conductance bridge - incorporating the double heterodyne principle - has been constructed, capable of giving resistance readings to an accuracy of 0.01% over a range of frequencies covering the best part of 100 kc/s. It has also been found possible to calibrate the oscillator so that frequency settings can be guaranteed to an accuracy of , at least, 0.1% in the range: 2 kc/S to 50 kc/S. (3) The Wheatstone Bridge Network has been slightly modified to enable measurements at the high frequencies. (4) Resistances in the measuring arm of the bridge have been calibrated 'in situ' by the method of intercomparison. (5) A brief description is given of the modern theories regarding electrode processes and modern methods of eliminating electrode effects. (6) Two types of conductance cells, with bright Pt electrodes, have been used to carry out measurements on potassium chloride solutions: (a) Thomas- Gledhill Cell (b) Nichol-Fuoss Cell. The latter incorporates concentric, cylindrical electrodes with the lead to the outer electrode acting as an electrical shield for the lead to the inner electrode. This cell was constructed and used for the first time in this laboratory. (7) From resistance-frequency graphs plotted, it is shown that the Jones and Christian extrapolation procedure cannot be applied (with any degree of confidence) to obtain the true resistance, when measurements are effected over an extended range of frequencies. (8) The method of resistance-reactance diagrams is discussed and applied to various networks of resistances and capacitances. (9) By drawing resistance-reactance diagrams for the experimental readings obtained, equivalent circuits have been derived - for all the solutions investigated in the N-F cell, and for the approx. O.OlD solution in the T-G cell - which approximate to cell behaviour in the range: 500 c/s to 75 kc/s. The less concentrated solutions in the T-G cell show peculiar behaviour at the high frequencies. (10) Probable reasons are advanced for deviations from linearity on resistance-frequency graphs. (11) A new method is proposed for determining the true resistance of solutions measured in cells of the N-F type. Summary, p. 166-167.

  • Description: These fishes are generally assigned to the family Serranidae, one of the most diverse and cumbersome groups of fishes. Containing numerous ill-assorted types this family for convenience at least merits sub-division. One of the natural sub-groups, generally given sub-family status as the Anthiinae, but here given full family rank, consists mainly of small, brilliant, free-swimming coral haunting types confined almost exclusively to tropical seas. These d iffer from the Serranidae proper in the absence of a supramaxilla, in having larger scales, in the dentition, and mostly in the concave or lunate caudal. Although by most workers assigned without question to the Serranidae (sensustricto) the monotypic genus Variola Swainson, 1839 has distinct affinities with the Anthiidae. The dentition, lunate caudal and the brilliant colouration accord better with the Anthiid than with the Serranid fishes. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

  • Description: Fishes of the family Apogonidae of the Western Indian Ocean and the Red Sea. Small and relatively feeble as most of these fishes are many cover an astonishing range. Some are found over truly vast areas of the Indo-Pacific, ranging from Southern Africa to the mid-Pacific. As a result, workers on even mid-Pacific Apogonidae need to give heed to the fauna of the Red Sea and of the Western Indian Ocean, from where, as in the case of the Parrot fishes, many early types were described. Failure to do this has caused species from the Pacific described as new, later to be proved identical with those long known from the Red Sea or the Indian Ocean. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)

  • Description: As is w ell know n, there is a sharp line of distinction at the Cape between the warmer waters of the east and south coast of Africa, and the cool seas of the western Cape areas, with corresponding cleavage in the marine fauna. It was in this cooler area that a specimen of the first member of this group, Xenopoclinus kochi Smith, 1947, was discovered, and at that time it was given subfamily rank in the Clinidae. Until recently only the holotype was known, but now not only have further specimens been secured, but also a second species in this genus, and even more striking is the discovery of a second genus and a third species from the same locality. These forms all show clear relationship with the Blennioid fishes, but despite the numerous families in that order, I cannot find any among them that are so clearly related to the fishes described here, as to be able to assign this small group with certainty to anyone. The peculiar characters appear to merit full family rank, as is given here. , Rhodes University Libraries (Digitisation)
