A SERMON DELIVERED ON SUNDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 12, 1862, BY REV. C. H. SPURGEON, AT THE METROPOLITAN TABERNACLE, NEWINGTON.
"Jesus said unto him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes.'"
I MUST take your minds back to the scene in the midst of which Christ uttered these memorable words. Christ had been uponthe mountaintop, transfigured in the presence of His three disciples. During His absence the disciples remaining had beenput to a nonplus. They found themselves, for lack offaith, unable to work a miracle. And the Pharisees triumphed. Christ came down just at the very moment and turned the scale.
We find a parallel case in the story of Moses, when with his servant, Joshua, he went up to the mountain and beheld the gloryof the Lord. While he and Joshua were absent, evil lifted up its head, and those who would walk by sight prevailed over thepoor weak faith of Aaron, so that he made forthem a golden calf. And lo, as Moses returned, he saw the people given up to the worship of this image which they couldsee with their eyes and handle with their hands. Faith had left the field routed, because the champion was not there, andsinful sight was for the momenttriumphant.
Moses dashes boldly into the midst of the people and instantly they are put to confusion. Some tremble and the most brazenof them are made to hang their heads. He lays hold upon their molten calf, grinds it to powder and makes them drink it.
Now, our Lord with his Joshuas-Peter, James, and John, the three elect out of the elect-had been on the mountain of transfiguration.The rest, like Aaron, found themselves attacked by those who would have signs and wonders. And being unable to furnish thesesigns and wonders for lack offaith, the Pharisees pushed their advantage, and the hosts of God seemed to fly before them. But suddenly, like a greatKing, Christ stands in their midst. The Pharisees are abashed. A miracle is performed. Faith triumphs, and the doubters areshamed.
It is as if some mighty general who, having been absent from the field of battle, finds that his lieutenants have rashly engagedin action, and have been defeated. The left wing is broken, the right has fled, and the center begins to fail. He lifts hisstandard in the midst of his troops and bidsthem rally around him. They gather. They dash upon the all but triumphant enemy, and soon they turn the balance of victory,and make the late victors turn their ignominious backs to flight.
Brethren, here is a lesson at the very outset. What we need for conquest is the shout of a king in the midst of us. The presenceof Christ is victory to His Church-the absence of the Lord Jesus entails disgraceful defeat. O armies of the living God, countnot your numbers! Rely not upon yourstrength. Reckon not upon the ability of your ministers. Trust not in human might. Nor on the other hand be dismayed becauseyou are few, nor tremble because you are feeble. If He is with you, more are they that are for you than they that are againstyou.
"When He makes bare His arm, Who can His cause withstand? When He, His people's cause defends, Who? Who shall stay His hand?"Lift up your eyes, then, to the hills from where Jesus comes who is your Help, and entreat Him never to forsake His peoplebut to dwell with them, and walk among themforevermore.
The matter about which the dispute had arisen was this-a certain man had a demoniac son who was afflicted with a dumb spiritwhich threw him into convulsions and ravings of the most hideous kind. The father, having seen the futility of the endeavorsof the disciples, had little or no faith inChrist, and therefore, when he was bid to bring his son to him, he said to Jesus, "If you can do anything, have compassionon us and help us."
Now there was an "if in the request, but the poor trembling father had put the "if in the wrong place. Jesus Christ, therefore,without telling him to retract the "if," just puts it in its legitimate position. "No, verily," He seemed to say, "there shouldbe no 'if about My power, nor about Mywillingness, the 'if lies somewhere else." "If you can believe, all things are possible to him that believes." The man receivedfaith, offering at the same time a humble prayer for an increase of faith, and instantly Christ spoke the word and the devilwas cast out with aninjunction never to return.
Brethren, you and I see that there is an "if somewhere, but we are perpetually blundering by putting it in the wrong place.//"Christ can convert heathens? No, no, if the Church can believe He can! //"Christ can make the ministry successful? No,if you can believe He can! //"Christ can give me thepardon of sin, if He can give me high enjoyments, if He can lift me above doubts and fears? Not so, Brethren-not so. Youhave misplaced your "if." It is if you can believe. For if you can, even as all things are possible to Christ, so shall allthings be possible to you.
Faith stands in God's power and in God's majesty. It wears the royal apparel and rides on the king's horse, for it is theDivine Grace which the king delights to honor. Girding itself with the glorious might of the all-working Spirit, it becomes,in the Omnipotence of God, mighty to do, to dare andto suffer. "All things," without limit, "are possible to him that believes."
I shall, this morning, dwell upon some of the achievements offaith and then notice where faith's great power lies. God helpus to speak on both of these points with Divine power.
I. First, SOME OF THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF FAITH. Time would fail me if I should attempt to rehearse the record of those who haveearned a good report through faith. It is not necessary that my humble tongue should recapitulate what Paul, with inspiredlips, has uttered in the ears of the Church. Turnto the 11th chapter of Hebrews and see there a mighty triumphal arch which God the Holy Spirit has raised in commemorationof the splendid triumphs which faith has achieved. Behold this tower of David, built for an armory, whereon there hang a thousandbucklers, all shields ofmighty men.
With joy the Church recounts her worthies, for the Lord utters His voice before His army, for His camp is very great. Butit needs not that I remind you of these ancient things, I will rather speak of some of the things which faith can performtoday, even today.
1. First, we will consider faith in its relationship to guilt. Here we may say, in your hearing, if you can believe guiltcan be removed-perfect pardon and complete justification are possible to the vilest sinner, if he can believe in Christ. Behold,my Brethren, faith going forth to conflictwith sin. Mark for a moment its determined struggles but see it coming back, like David, with Goliath's head in his hand-amighty conqueror-through the strength of its God. Faith, in dealing with sin, does not forget the greatness of it. Our sinis tremendous-it isnot possible for us to overestimate its guilt.
The sinner, under the most awful convictions, never exaggerated the evil of sin, it is a dreadful and a bitter thing. Butfaith deals thus with it, "What if my sin is great? I have a great Savior-surely He is able to take my sin, even if it werea hundred times as great as it is-and tocast it all into the depths of the sea. I know that I have greatly revolted and have sinned with many aggravations againstmy God. But I believe in His great mercy, and I know that He is able to blot out my sins like a cloud and my transgressionslike a thick cloud."
Faith does not lessen sin in the estimate of a sinner. But it exalts Christ, so that the sinner firmly and fully believesthat if his sin could be multiplied by all the number of the elect, yet He who is mighty to save could roll all the burdenaway and make him free. The greatness of sin is nobarrier to its removing, if you can believe.
Many, also, are troubled with a consciousness of the ill consequence of sin. They are made to look into Hell. They seem tohear the wailings as they ascend from the place of torment. Such awful passages as these are in their troubled mind-"Tophetis prepared of old, the pile thereof is woodand much smoke." "These shall go away into everlasting punishment, where their worm dies not, and their fire is not quenched."But faith says, "Yes, but despite all this, the agonies of Christ were so great that they are a fit and full expiation bywhich all these torments can be,by God's mercy, fully removed from those who trust in Jesus-and they can even mount to the upper skies."
To know the consequence of sin, and yet believe that Christ can pardon-this is faith work. Not to make out sin to be a peccadillo,a small and trivial offense-but to confess that the full weight of God's eternal arm can be none too heavy to fall upon theman who has dared to insult hisMaker's laws. But despite all this, to believe that the Atonement made by blood upon the Cross is enough, and more thanenough, to expiate all-this is the victory of faith-to know that the blood of Jesus Christ, God's dear Son, cleans us fromall sin.
Multitudes, also, I know, are very much vexed by remembering what guilt has done in them. "I am," says such an one, "so hard-hearted,I have so little repentance, I am so prayerless, I have nothing good in me. I am everything that is vile. There is not a commendablething in me to move the pity ofGod." Now faith comes in and says, "It is even so. But, despite all this, I do believe the naked promise of God. I cometo Jesus as I am, having nothing in myself, but possessing all things in Him."
Nor will faith let the hardness of the heart, or the stubbornness of the will be any argument why the soul should not reston Christ. Believing all that could be laid to its charge, and sorrowfully repenting of it all, still faith says, "It is written,'Him that comes to Me, I will in no wise castout.' I come, and Jesus cannot, will not, cast me out." When I feel my soul softened, when I feel the motions of the livingfire within, then to believe that Christ can save me is no great faith.
"In hope against all human hope, Self desperate, I believe Your quickening word shall raise me up, You shall the Spirit give."
"Faith, mighty faith the promise sees, And looks to that alone, Laughs at impossibilities, And cries, 'It shall be done.'"
Sinners also are greatly troubled when they are awakened concerning the future. "You will sin again," says Satan, "just asyou have done. All pretences to a new life will be signal failures. You will go, like the dog to his vomit, and return, likethe sow that was washed to her wallowing in themire." The quickened mind clearly perceives that this would inevitably be the result, if the work were to be performed byhuman strength. But faith denies the slander by looking to the Lord, alone. "Though in me, that is in my flesh, there dwellsno good thing, yet He is able tosave unto the uttermost them that come unto God by Him."
And faith clutches that promise, "I give unto My sheep eternal life, and they shall never perish, neither shall any pluckthem out of My hands." And she looks upon the future with the same eyes of faith with which she looks back upon the past andrests herself upon the faithfulness and power of Godto save. At times these old sins will rush in upon the Believer's mind with a terrific force. Gathering dreadful strengthfrom the justice of God, our eyes are tormented with the vision of an angry God, with His sword drawn, ready to smite us forour offenses. Glorious is that faithwhich can fling itself into the arms of God, even when the sword is in His hand, and will not believe that God can strikethe sinner who relies upon the blood of Jesus!
Mighty is that faith which, looking at Justice, stern and severe, yet trembles not, but cries, "You are merciful and justto forgive me my sins, for I have confessed them. Christ has made full Atonement, and You will not twice demand the debt.He paid it once, and You cannot lay anything to mycharge." Triumphant is that faith which marches right up to Heaven and stands before the blazing Throne of the great andholy God, and yet can cry, "Who shall lay anything to the charge of God's elect? God has justified-who is he that condemns?It is Christ that died, yes,rather, that has risen again." And this, even when sin rolls like a black flood, and the remembrance of the past has lashedthe soul to tempest.
When we really know the blessed merit of Jesus' blood. When we fully understand the superlative mercy of God. When we cometo know the overflowing love of the Father towards His beloved children-we shall not look upon sin as being less sin thanbefore, but we shall no longer fear its penalconsequences, being confidently assured in our soul that none of these sins can destroy us. That not the whole of them togethercan for a moment shake our standing in Him, nor by any means put us in any danger of eternal wrath, since we are covered withthe righteousness of Christ,and washed in His blood.
Brethren, our sins, when pardoned, should increase our delight in God, since they afford us evidences of His exceedingly abundantGrace and love. Amalie Sieveking, a notable Christian heroine, one of the most zealous workers of modern times, writes thus-"Thesense of my own powerlessness butbrings me nearer to Him whose strength is made perfect in weakness. I give myself up to His guidance in cheerful trust thatHe will finish the work which He has begun, and help the poor stumbling child again and again to rise, yes, should it stumblea hundred times a day." And thisis the point I want you to notice-"Sometimes I feel as though I must lay bare to others the whole accumulated amount ofmy guilt, that they may with me admire the riches of Divine long-suffering."
This is how faith learns to deal with sin-to make it a foil to show the brightness of mercy-the setting in which the diamondof Divine love flashes with superlative luster. The faithful heart always remembers its sin with shame. But still it remembersGod's pardoning love withgratitude, and the sorrow helps to increase the thankfulness. The lower we sink by reason of our sin, the higher our loveto God rises when we reflect how His strong hand has taken us up "out of the horrible pit, and out of the miry clay, and setour feet upon a rock and establishedour goings."
Oh, I would this morning that some of you who are full of sin would believe that Christ can save you! "All things are possibleto him that believes." What if you are the blackest sinner out of Hell and think the devil, himself, white compared with yourself?If you can trust Christ this morning,"all things are possible to him that believes." Whiter than the newly fallen snow shall you be in an instant, if you cannow rest your soul upon Jesus, who is able to save.
2. Let us now observe faith in the midst of those constant attacks of which the heir of Heaven is the subject. Here faith,again, does all things. My Brethren, no sooner is a Christian born, than there is a great stir about him, even as concerningChrist Himself, for Herod seeks the young childthat he may destroy him. We all know how constantly the world attacks us, more especially if we will be separate from it,and will keep our garments white, and will not indulge in the common pleasures, nor be guided by the ordinary maxims of society.Then the world howls at us likea pack of wolves.
What then? Why, faith finds here but an easy task, for it learns to glory in tribulations, delightfully remembering the beatitudeof Jesus on the mount-"Blessed are you when men shall revile you, and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil againstyou falsely, for My sake. Rejoice andbe exceedingly glad: for great is your reward in Heaven: for so persecuted they the Prophets which were before you." Thisis an everyday conquest with the Christian-to laugh at Satan's threats. "This is the victory which overcomes the world, evenour faith."
The world attacks us also with its smiles, and unhappy is the man who has no faith, for soon the blandishments of the worldwill overcome him. But he that is full of faith, when the world offers him silver, replies, "No, I am rich in gold." And ifthe world would give him treasure, he would say, "Ihave a better portion than you can offer me. Will you tempt a king with farthings, or a prince with beggar's broken victuals?I am heir of all things in Christ. This world is mine and Heaven is mine, too." So he laughs to scorn all the smiles of thewicked, just as he did in thecase of their frowns.
Alas, Brethren, we are equally attacked by the flesh. The lusts within are not dead. They are still powerful, and we knowit. But here, too, faith overcomes. For while faith recognizes the power of the flesh, and the lusts thereof, it so lays holdupon Christ that it is lifted up into heavenlyplaces, and is able to tread its corruptions under foot. Faith says to the Believer, "Be assured that notwithstanding allthe plagues of your heart, and all the loathsomeness of your nature, yet you shall as surely conquer as Christ has conquered.And you shall one day be as pureand spotless as even Christ Himself before the Father's Throne."
"With my sling and stone I go, To fight the Philistine, God has said it shall be so, And I shall conquer sin. On His promise I rely, Trust in an Almighty Lord, Sure to win the victory, For He has spoken the word. In the strength of God I rise, I run to meet the foe, Faith, the word of power applies And lays the giant low. Faith in Jesus' conquering name, Slings the sin-destroying stone, Points the Lord's unerring aim, And brings the monster down."
So is it with the devil. The devil comes out against us. But we are more than a match for him when our faith is firm. Uponthe shield of our faith we catch his arrows, and by the sword of our faith we smite him to the very heart. There is no temptationthat ever can assail a Believer but faith cancertainly supply an antidote. If I believe in Jesus, I have His promise that I shall overcome, and I shall overcome becauseI believe that promise. Even if I should get beneath the devil's foot, and he should lift his sword to smite me, if I cansay, "Rejoice not over me, O myenemy, for when I fall yet shall I rise again," I will rise and victory is mine. Faith overcomes even Hell itself and itscrowned monarch-for defense it is a panoply and for attack it is our battleaxe and weapons of war.
As for the trials of this life, it is marvelous what teachers these are to faith, for she perceives that troubles come fromGod. Chrysostom has a gloss upon that passage in Job, where Job says, "The Lord has taken away." He did not say the Chaldeansdid it, nor the Sabeans, though they certainlywere the instruments. But the Lord has taken away. The Believer, seeing God's hand in everything that happens to him, feelspleased with all alike. As Providence is in his Father's hand, he knows that it is always guided by love, by wisdom and byDivine Grace.
And so he thinks his worst days to be as good as his best, his foul days are fair, his dark days are bright. In full confidencehe believes that all things work together for his good, and he leaves the working of them entirely with his God. Oh, Beloved,it is only want of faith that makes thisworld such a place of sorrow to God's people-but when we get faith, faith laughs at every tribulation-from whatever sourceit may come.
Thus I have shown you that "all things are possible to him that believes." Rise up, O hosts of Hell and shoot your arrows!You heavens, prepare your tempests! O earth, cast forth your floods, and You, O flesh, come forth with all your blasphemyand wickedness-faith walks unharmed amidst allyour fury more than conqueror through Him that has loved her!
3. We turn your attention to another point. The obtaining of eminence in Divine Grace. Many professed Christians are alwaysdoubting and fearing and they think that this is the necessary state of Believers. By no means, Brothers and Sisters! "Allthings are possible to him that believes." And it ispossible for you to get into a state in which a doubt or a fear shall be but as a bird of passage flitting across your soul,but never lingering there. When you read in biographies of the high and sweet communions enjoyed by favored saints you sigh,"Alas, these are not for me." Ohclimber! If you have but faith, you shall stand upon the very pinnacle of the temple-for "all things are possible to himthat believes."
I know you read of what some great men have done for Jesus. What they have enjoyed of Him. How much they have been like Heis. How they have been able to endure for His sake. And you say, "Ah, as for me, I am but a worm. I can never attain to this."There is nothing which one saint was that you maynot be. There is no height of Divine Grace, no attainment of spirituality, no position, or assurance, no post of duty whichis not open to you, if you have but the power to believe. Get up, get up from your dunghills-lay aside your sackcloth andyour ashes-it is not meetthat you should grovel in the dust, oh children of a King!
Ascend! The golden throne of assurance is waiting for you! The crown of confidence in Jesus is ready to bedeck your brow.Wrap yourself in scarlet and fine linen, and fare sumptuously every day. For, if you believe, all your land shall flow withoil, and wine and milk, and honey-your soulshall be as a watered garden and your spirit shall be satiated as with marrow and fatness. "All things are possible to himthat believes."
4. And yet a fourth point. The power of faith in reference to prayer. Here "all things are possible to him that believes."In prayer we are sometimes staggered by reason of the great things we are about to ask. But faith looks at the great promise,the great God, and His great love, and thinks thateven a great thing is but a crumb from the Master's table. Then, again, we are often driven back by a sense of unworthiness.But faith looks at Christ's worthiness and believes that His worthiness is quite sufficient to put our unworthiness altogetherout of court.
Then we are apt to think of God's delays. But faith thinks that God cannot deny, though He may delay-so she hangs on tillthe promise is fulfilled. Though the vision tarries, she waits for it till it comes, for sure is she that it will come. And,oh, it is a splendid thing to see faith waitupon God in prayer, and forswear all carnal means, depending simply and wholly upon the naked promise, and believing thatGod can do His own work and perform His own Word. Brethren, no man ought to doubt in these modern times that God will answerprayer, and that faith with prayercan do anything.
We have often heard of George Muller, of Bristol. There stands, in the form of those magnificent orphan houses full of orphans,supported without committees, without secretaries, supported only by that man's prayers and faith-there stands, in solid brickand mortar, a testimony to the factthat God hears prayer! But, do you know that Mr. Muller's case is but one among many?
Remember the work of Francke at Halle. Look at the Rough House just out of Hamburgh, where Dr. Wichern, commencing with afew reprobate boys of Hamburgh, only waiting upon God's help and goodness, has now a whole village full of boys and girls,reclaimed and saved-and is sending out on theright hand, and on the left, Brethren to occupy posts of usefulness in every land.
Remember the brother Gossner, of Berlin, and how mightily God has helped him to send out not less than two hundred missionariesthroughout the length and breadth of the earth, preaching Christ, while he has for their support nothing but the bare promiseof God, and faith which has learned to reachthe hand of God, and take from it all it needs.
And need I remind you of a story we told you last Friday night-the story of Pastor Harms, in Hermaunsburg, where, by the powerof that man's faith in preaching the Word, he has seen the barren wilderness made to blossom like the rose. His Church hasbecome a very model of what a Church of Godought to be, a living, working body, from which he sends out missionaries to the coast of Africa, having nothing for theirsupply but the offerings of the people, drawn from them by the exercise of prayer and faith.
I was reading a memorable passage in his life, where he says, he was wanting to send his missionaries out to the Gal-las tribein Africa but could not find any means. And so he says, "Then I knocked diligently on the dear God in prayer. And since thepraying man dare not sit with his hands in hislap, I sought among the shipping agents, but came to no speed. And I turned to Bishop Gobat in Jerusalem, but had no answer.And then I wrote to the missionary Krapf in Mornbaz, but the letter was lost.
"That word has lain fast in my soul. I had knocked at men's doors and found them shut. And yet the plan was manifestly good,and for the glory of God. What was to be done? Straightforward makes the best runner. I prayed fervently to the Lord, laidthe matter in His hand, and, as I rose up atmidnight from my knees, I said, with a voice that almost startled me in the quiet room-Forward now, in God's name! Fromthat moment there never came a thought of doubt into my mind."
Friends, the Churches of Christ have no need of the modern machinery which has supplanted the simplicity of faith! I verilybelieve if the Lord swept the committees, secretaries, and missionary societies out of the universe, we should be better withoutthem if our Churches would but trust God, sendout their own men, raise the money to support them, and believe that God would bless them. I hope the Church will soon say,like David in Saul's clanking armor, "I cannot go with these, for I have not tried them," and with only her sling and herstone, confident in her God, I trustshe will confront her foe. We can do all things, if we can but trust Christ.
"All things are possible to him that believes," but nothing is possible to your schemes and to your systems. God will sweepthem away, and happy shall be that man who shall lead the van in their utter destruction. Go up against her, take away herbulwarks, for they are not the Lord's. He did notordain them, nor will He stand by them. Act in faith, O you people of God, and prove the power of prayer, for "all thingsare possible to him that believes."
5. There is another point, upon which I have already entrenched, that is, in the service of God "all things are possible tohim that believes." I know the devil will say to you, "Why, you have no gifts." And what if you have not? If you have thegift of faith, you may do somewhat and fulfill yourmission. Perhaps you are a minister. You have been laboring in a village with very little success. Brother, may it not bethat you did not believe that God would give you success? For if you had believed it you would have had it. You are not straitenedin God, but straitened in yourown heart!
I know what it is to go to my chamber and feel ashamed of many a sermon I have preached and moan and groan over it. And Ihave known what it is to discover, within a month, that the sermon has been far more useful in conversion than those whichI thought had something about them which might renderthem effective. The fact is, God wants not our power but our weakness. Not our greatness but our nothingness. Oh, Brother,if God has called you to a work that is ten times harder than you have strength to perform, go and do it in His strength and"all things are possible to himthat believes."
I would that this age would breed a few extravagant men-we are getting so dull, so cold, so common-place-we all run in thesame cart rut, imitating one another. In the sight of one of the heroes of old, we little men do walk under their huge legs,and peep about to find ourselvesdishonorable graves. And all this is because we have left off faith. Let a man believe that God has called him to a mission.Let him say, "Forward, in God's name!" and that man will carve his name in the Rock of Ages and leave memorials behind himwhich angels shall gaze upon whenthe names of emperors and kings have been swept into oblivion.
Men and Brethren in this Church! Many and many a time have I stirred you up to faith, and there are some few of you who beginto know what faith means. But, oh, I fear there are many of you still that have not come to the fullness of the meaning offaith. To live in a region of miracles, to becalled fanatics, to see God's hand as visibly as you see your own, to recognize Him as greater than second causes, to findHim as one whose arm you can move, whose power you can command, to stand in an extraordinary position, far above the placewhere reason can put you-toknow that you are a distinguished, separated, especially-favored child of God-oh, this is Heaven begun below!
Believe me, I often marvel how people can think that the present attainments of the Church are all the Church can expect.I look upon decent trades people, respectable ministers, and amiable women, and so forth, doing something but doing very,very little-and I am apt to say-"What?What? Is this all Christ shed His blood for-to make us do this? Is this all the Holy Spirit does, to make a man get througha decent sermon on a Sunday? Is this all? Is this God's work? I see God's work in nature, and there are towering Alps, androaring seas, and waterfallslashed to fury. But I look on God's work in the Church-little, little, little everywhere. Littleness is stamped upon thebrow of today. We do not do and dare.
And I am inclined to think that until we see some great and daring deed attempted, and some great and marvelous thing donefor Christ, we shall not see the glory of the Lord revealed, so that all flesh shall see it together. What are we doing here,all of us cooped up in this little island, all ofus living in England? "The world lies in the Wicked One." How is it our hearts beat not for the heathen? We must stay athome. We have calls. But is not the call of God louder still, if we had but faith? But we are so carnal-we live so much on"the things that are seen," thatwe cannot do a rash, brave, imprudent act for the Master.
God help us to do it! Then shall the Church arise and put on her beautiful garments. And woe to you, Askelon, when Israel'sGod is in the camp! Woe to you, Gaza, for your gates shall be carried on our shoulders, when once we believe we are strongenough to bear them to the top of the hill, postsand bars and all! "All things are possible," in the service of God, "to him that believes."
Finally, when we shall come to die, sickness shall cause us no anxiety. The solemn mysteries of the last article shall giveus no alarm. The grave shall be no place of gloom. Judgment shall know no terrors-eternity shall have no horrors. For to himthat believes, all things are possible, anddeath and death's shade give way before faith. Heaven yields to faith. Hell trembles at it. Earth is powerless before itand lies in the hand of the faithful man, like clay upon the potter's wheel, to be molded as he wills.
II. I come to my last point and may God bless it. WHERE LIES, THEN, THE SECRET STRENGTH OF FAITH? It lies in the food it feedson. For faith studies what the promise is-an emanation of Divine Grace, an overflowing of the great heart of God. And faithsays, "My God could not have given thispromise, except from love and Grace. Therefore it is quite certain that this promise will be fulfilled." Then faith thinks,"Who gave this promise?" It considers not so much its greatness, as "Who is the Author of it?"
She remembers that it is God, that cannot lie-God Omnipotent, God Immutable. And therefore she concludes that the promisemust be fulfilled. And forward she goes in this firm conviction. Then she remembers, also, why the promise was given-namely,for God's glory, and she feels perfectlysure that God's glory is safe-that He will never stain His own escutcheon, nor mar the luster of His own crown. And thereforeshe concludes that the promise must and will stand.
Then faith also considers the amazing work of Christ as being a clear proof of the Father's intention to fulfill His word."He that spared not His own Son but freely delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us allthings?" Then faith looks back upon the past, for herbattles have strengthened her, and her victories have given her courage. She remembers that God never has failed her. No,that He never did once fail any of His children. She recollects times of great peril, when deliverance came-hours of awfulneed, when as her day, herstrength was. And she says, "No. I never will be led to think that He can now forswear and change His Character and leaveHis servant.
Faith, moreover, feels that she cannot believe a hard thing of her dear God. Is it wrong to use that expression? I must useit, for He is dear to me! I think this is one of the things I have repented of above all other sins I have committed-the sinof ever doubting Him who loves me so wellthat He had sooner die than I should perish, and did die that I might live. What? That God so dear to my soul-do I doubtHim? I would not spread a report that my father was a liar, or that my mother would forswear herself. No, blessed parents,you would not be unkind to me.
And, my blessed God, my faith knows that You cannot be unkind-our love will make You faithful even if your faithfulness werenot enough in itself. If our God can leave us, then indeed am I mistaken in His Character. If I can dare something for God,and He can leave me, then have I misreadScripture. I do not believe, young warrior, if God shall prompt you to dash into the thick of the battle, that He will leaveyou, as Joab did Uriah, to fall by the arrows of the enemy. Only dare it, and God will be greater than your daring. But werefuse to be honorable. A littlehardship, a little difficulty, a little danger, and we shrink back to our ignoble sloth. Oh that we would rise to the gloryof believing!
Dearly Beloved, I have tried thus to stir up your souls. But I am very conscious that we cannot have this faith in Christ,except as we have more of His Holy Spirit. But then we have the promise-"If you, being evil, know how to give good gifts untoyour children, how much more shall yourheavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask Him?" Ask for more faith. This Church is enough of itself for theconversion of the whole world, if God will give us faith enough. If the little band at Jerusalem were all that was wanted,a band of more than two thousandfaithful men and women might be enough, if we had faith.
"Faith treads on the world and on Hell; It vanquishes death and despair. And, O!Let us wonder to tell, It o vercomes Heavenbyprayer- Bids sins of a crimson-like dye Be spotless as snow and as white- And raises the sinner on high To dwell with theangels of light."

Sir Frederick Grant Banting KBE, MC, FRSC (Alliston, Canadà, 14 de novembre de 1891 - Musgrave Harbour, 21 de febrer de 1941) fou un metge i professor universitari canadenc guardonat amb el Premi Nobel de Medicina o Fisiologia l'any 1932 pel seu descobriment de la insulina.

Biografia
Va néixer el 14 de novembre de 1891 a la ciutat d'Alliston, població situada a la província d'Ontàrio. Va estudiar medicina a la Universitat de Toronto, on es graduà l'any 1916, i va ser metge militar durant la Primera Guerra Mundial. Posteriorment va ser ajudant de fisiologia a la Universitat d'Ontàrio Occidental i a partir de 1921 professor a la de Toronto.

El 1934 fou nomenat Cavaller Comandant de l'Imperi Britànic per part del rei Jordi V del Regne Unit. Va morir el 21 de febrer de 1941 en un accident aeri a Musgrave Harbour, població situada a l'illa de Terranova, quan es dirigia a Anglaterra, i fou enterrat a Toronto.

Recerca científica

Durant la seva estada a la Universitat d'Ontàrio Occidental, i concretament la nit del 31 d'octubre de 1920, mitjançant la lectura rutinària d'articles en un diari mèdic va anotar una idea per a un mètode d'aïllar la secreció interna del pàncrees, el pas crucial necessitat per al tractament eficaç per la diabetis. Fins aquell moment tots els mètodes per obtenir una secreció útil que es podria administrar amb seguretat als éssers humans havien fracassat. Descontentat amb la seva pràctica i fascinat per la seva idea, Banting va traslladar-se a Toronto, on el 17 de maig de 1921 va iniciar la seva recerca a la universitat de Toronto, sota supervisió del professor John Macleod, l'ajuda de Charles Best i l'assessorament del químic James Collip, arribant al descobriment de la insulina a inicis de l'any 1922.

L'any 1923 fou guardonat, juntament amb John MacLeod, amb el Premi Nobel de Medicina o Fisiologia pel descobriment de la insulina. Descontent per no haver estat reconeguts els treballs de Charles Best compartí la recompensa monetària del Premi Nobel amb ell, alhora que MacLeod ho feu amb James Collip.

Posteriorment continuà la seva recerca científica a l'Institut Banting, creat l'any 1930, realitzant investigacions sobre el càncer, l'escorça suprarenal i la silicosi.

Reconeixements
En honor seu s'anomenà el cràter Banting sobre la superfície de la Lluna així com l'asteroide (43293) Banting descobert l'1 d'abril de l'any 2000 per l'astrònom John Broughton.

Falciani moved to Spain and cooperated with prosecutors there in some of the probes. He was arrested in Barcelona in 2012, but Spain's National Court denied a Swiss request to extradite him on the grounds that breaking secrecy laws was not subject to prosecution in Spain.
His arrest in Madrid came nearly two years after Falciani's conviction was made final by Swiss courts.
It also coincided with Spain's efforts to seek extradition from Switzerland of Marta Rovira, a prominent Catalan separatist politician considered key in the Spanish region's illegal independence bid. Swiss authorities have not ruled yet on whether she should be extradited.
Spanish Minister of Justice Rafael Catala said the government had no involvement in Falciani's arrest and that no connection should be made between the two cases.
"These are judicial cases sought in the realm of international cooperation," Catala said Thursday. "We shouldn't see into it more than that."
But Folco Galli, a spokesman for Switzerland's Federal Office of Justice, said it was "completely wrong" to suggest that Swiss authorities have been seeking Falciani's arrest only since March.
He said Falciani has been listed since 2009 as a wanted person for extradition under the Schengen zone's notification system — first on the basis of an arrest warrant issued by a Swiss prosecutor that year, then based on the 2015 criminal convictions.
The Federal office of Justice said that, following word of Falciani's arrest, Swiss authorities made a fresh formal extradition request Thursday.
Henzelin, Falciani's lawyer, noted a "hypothesis" among some, which he could not confirm, that the arrest could be connected to a "sort of deal" between Spain and Switzerland over a transfer of Catalan separatists who are wanted by Spanish authorities.
"I'm not able to verify that, but frankly if it were the case, I would consider that rather odious," said Henzelin. "It's not in the tradition of Swiss justice to do such a kind of bargaining. It seems to me it's more the habit of Russia and countries like that."
Spanish defense lawyer Manuel Olle said the country's National Court had already ruled out Falciani's extradition in 2013.
"He can't be tried twice," Olle said, adding that he believed that the case was politically motivated.

New brand and name for learning partner for the health and social care industries.
The brand proposition, name and identity reflects Altura Learning's ongoing work to innovate and expand geographically and across the health, disability and social sectors with the support of enhanced technology.
The new Altura brand identity celebrates growth and change through a modern and vibrant visual language. The brandmark is inspired by the unfolding of a new leaf, designed to illustrate how a person's learning journey can change and develop over time, revealing exciting opportunities. The angled nature of these folds combined with a bright colour scheme exudes positivity and playfulness.
Altura Learning CEO Yvie Webley says that the new brand has far exceeded her expectations.
"The feedback from both staff, clients and the industry has been amazing. The experience of working with Truly Deeply has been fantastic and we're now all looking forward to enjoying the fruits of our hard work".
The path illustrations that are derived from the brandmark capture the essence of Altura as a brand that is flexible, dynamic, and progressive. They also convey strategic messages in a visually engaging way.
Truly Deeply engaged the leaders in Altura across several countries to create a new strategic direction for the organisation. The new brand proposition and messaging builds on their compelling truth to focus on inspiring learning that improves quality of life. Importantly, the new proposition builds on what the organisation's strong reputation and capability in the aged care sector in Australia, UK, Ireland and New Zealand to create a compelling offer for the broader social care industries globally. It also provides flexibility for the brand to talk to both care providers as well as directly to learners.
The company was originally called ACC TV (Aged Care Channel) but this no longer represented the organisation and also caused brand confusion with another ACC TV (Australian Christian Channel).
After an extensive creative and strategy naming process, Altura Learning was chosen as the new brand name. Inspired from altruism and altitude, 'Altura' is a created word that's unique, yet instantly feels familiar. It aligns beautifully to the new brand story and was tested across multiple languages and markets to ensure it would enable Altura to realise their vision of being a global brand.
"The name recognises the trajectory that has seen the organisation grow from its beginnings as a provider of learning for aged care providers in Australia to serve a broader customer base across new sectors and geographies", added Webley.
Altura Learning creates high quality, responsive and media rich learning solutions for those working in or aspiring to work in the health and social care sectors. The organisation has grown significantly with operations in several countries and ambition to be global.

Former Northeastern student files Clery complaint after mishandled rape case
Update: In the original publication of this article on May 8th, it was printed that Northeastern's administration released a statement on May 7th. The following has been corrected to show that the statement was issued only to The Huntington News.
By Rebecca Sirull, Inside Editor
On Wednesday former Northeastern student Katie Rizzo filed an official complaint against the University for the mishandling of her sexual assault case in 2012. The case followed an incident in the fall of 2011 in which Rizzo alleged that a fellow Northeastern student had sex with her without her consent while she was intoxicated.

The day after the incident, Rizzo said she went to the University Health and Counseling Services office to seek assistance and was given a Plan B pill and tested for STDs. The following day she reported her experience to the Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution (OSCCR), resulting in a hearing scheduled for April 4. Rizzo also consulted the Northeastern Public Safety Division (NUPD), who referred her to the Boston Police Department (BPD) in order to file a report, but Rizzo chose not to pursue this option after being informed that it was unlikely to reach a court room.
The day before her hearing Rizzo received a packet containing evidence, including testimonies from her sorority sisters, that would be used in defense of her alleged assailant. However, Rizzo was told she could not bring in outside evidence, such as text messages or Facebook messages, to refute the claims made by these witnesses.
The hearing was conducted by a group of five undergraduate Northeastern students who were members of the Student Conduct Board (SCB) and overseen by an OSCCR staff advisor. Present at the hearing were witnesses like Rizzo's sorority sisters and a member of the accused student's fraternity, who Rizzo had previously been involved with. Rizzo said that her alleged attacker questioned her about previous relationships, including accusing her of lying and "patronizing" her.
"It was awful", said Rizzo. "I didn't want to be at a school where I was known as the girl who got raped and I definitely didn't want to be at a school where they treat people that way."
The hearing found the accused student responsible for the assault and ordered him to be expelled at the end of the semester. Following this decision, the student decided to file an appeal on the grounds that there had been a "procedural error," which resulted in a second hearing to be set for May 29. However, the student transferred schools and the second hearing was never held. Shortly after, Rizzo withdrew from Northeastern.
"Northeastern University's first priority is the safety and well-being of our students," Northeastern said in a statement to The Huntington News on May 7. "We take reports of sexual assault very seriously and we investigate every allegation swiftly, thoroughly and with respect to the rights of all parties involved. The university's comprehensive program to educate and prevent sexual assault also provides a broad range of services and assistance to each student who needs support. Our heart goes out to every person who has been impacted by sexual assault and we applaud the important work of those who raise awareness and provide assistance every day.
A recent news article erroneously reported that Northeastern University "allowed" the transfer of a student involved in a sexual assault case. Higher education institutions cannot prohibit students from withdrawing and transferring to another school whether or not they are involved in a pending disciplinary action. We regret that we cannot comment further on the case referenced in the same story as federal law prohibits us from doing so."
Throughout the months of January and February 2014, Rizzo began reaching out to students who had gone through similar experiences at other schools and started to search for more information about her own case. She discovered that, as per university policy, all records of her case besides official documents had been destroyed. She also discovered that the "procedural error" used in the appeal was that the conduct board had used a measure of consent that was too high for the case at hand.
"…the Board used a higher standard for consent than what is required by the CSC [Code of Student Conduct]," said the accused student in his appeal. "The Conduct Board placed a higher burden of proof on the issue of consent than is necessary under the CSC definition. Such an error impaired [the charged student's] right to a fair opportunity to be heard during the hearing process and clearly affected the Conduct Board's decision."
While Rizzo was no longer within the 180 day statute of limitations for filing a Title IX complaint, she decided to move forward with a Clery Act complaint. By doing so, Rizzo said that she hopes to change the definition of "consent" used by Northeastern and other universities, ensure that students found guilty of rape are met with appropriate consequences, and highlight the limitations on Title IX complaints.
"I don't think that people often come to realize that they can stand up for themselves," Rizzo said. "I feel like most people get to the point where they just want to forget and they've accepted it and they move on, but I didn't think I could move on unless I stood up for myself and held Northeastern accountable."
Rizzo's decision to file a complaint against Northeastern follows the Department of Education's release of a list of 55 other colleges and universities facing investigation for violation of Title IX.

Understanding Access to Mental Health Resources
ByElisa c June 1, 2021 August 31, 2022
Blog Objectives: Load, upload, and explore existing and new data to understand mental health access
Users will be able to:
Select, compare, and analyze layers
Upload unique data in the map (Pro and Premium)
Discover mapping features such as the symbology and measure tool
Good mental health is important at every stage of people's lives. From childhood and adolescence, through adulthood and beyond, being emotionally healthy promotes productivity and effectiveness at work, in school, and in caregiving. Concerns about poor mental health, however, are rapidly growing due to COVID-19 and its consequences, such as economic instability, social isolation, and increased substance abuse [1]. In order to maintain positive, long-term mental health outcomes in communities around the nation, organizations and governments need access to up-to-date, reliable, and accurate data to effectively allocate resources, programs, and training opportunities for those who need it most.
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) initially provided $825 million in March 2021 and $3 billion in May 2021 for community mental health services in all states and territories of the United States [2]. The goal of the funding is to address the needs and gaps of existing mental health treatment services. In order to identify communities that could benefit from such funding or similar ones, we prepared a quick guide on how to not only use existing data, but also how to upload and analyze your own data in SparkMap.
Utilizing SparkMap Data
With over 30,000 layers in SparkMap, you can access relevant data to fit your needs, such as locations of mental health facilities focused on assisting adults, youth, veterans, and other communities (Figure 1). Additionally, with more than 200 indicators in our Community Assessment you can further discover issues of access to mental health resources in a specific area.
Figure 1. Mental health search in the Map Room.
Let's take our SAMHSA funding example from above and explore which counties in the state of Wyoming show the most need of mental health funding. After searching the key words "Mental Health" and loading various layers of "Mental Health Facilities," the final map in Figure 2 shows points representing the mental health facilities in the area [3]. At a glance, all the counties have facilities focusing on mental health, varying in location and the groups being served. However, if we include a second map layer that ranks the counties based on "Access to Mental Health Care Providers," then we can identify which counties have a low number of providers available to serve the total population of that county.
For example, Figure 3 shows counties in the northeast side of the state with low access to mental health providers as they are ranked in the 4th quantile. Thus, while the points representing facilities show the type of services offered in the county, the ranking map layer identifies which counties have a limited number of facilities to serve their entire population. This can guide the level of funding and which services are still needed.
Figure 2. Mental health facilities and centers in Wyoming.
Figure 3. Mental health facilities and access to mental health providers rankings by county.
Finally, after identifying the counties of interest, we can create a Community Assessment of those counties, which can further contextualize access to mental health resources as the assessment compares the county to state and national levels, as shown in Table 1 [4].
Table 1. Assessment table comparing access to mental health providers between the county, state, and nationally.
Uploading and Manipulating Your Own Data (Pro and Premium)
One of the perks of a Pro or Premium subscription is the ability to upload your own data in the form of CSV, KML/KMZ, or shapefiles [5]. You can combine our secondary data with any point or polygon data of your choosing. For example, Table 2 shows a CSV table with addresses of three fictional mental health offices in northeast Wyoming. The use of tools like Upload in SparkMap helps determine if the private offices serve populations that are not served by other mental health care facilities. When the CSV table was uploaded into SparkMap (Figure 4), the system recognized addresses and converted them to points, in this case black markers in the map as shown on Figure 5. To analyze the distance between mental health providers and the list of offices, we used the "Measure Tool" as shown on Figure 6. As we can see, that the area surrounding Office B has limited access to mental health facilities, and when using the measure tool we discovered that the next facility also serving Veterans is almost 140 miles away. Overall, we know the area of focus is on the 4th quantile of access to mental health providers, but the location of facilities map layer further guides us on the opportunities to serve areas with low access.

Ultimately, there are various ways to use SparkMap's Map Room and Community Assessment due to the many data and tool resources, such as the Upload Data or the Measure Tool. SparkMap's resources can identify problem and opportunity areas and serve as evidence for when applying for grants, such as the Community Mental Health Services Block Grant (MHBG) by SAMHSA, and other funding resources.

DEACON BLUES was born in the twelfth year of the 21st century. Eleven stellar musicians,composers, and educators based in Chicago, they share a unique passion for the Becker/Fagen repository, better known to the world as Steely Dan.
The genesis of Deacon Blues began when Steven Kikoen, Jonathan Hey, and Cash Michaels formed an original jazz/rock collective known as Bebop Daddys. The Daddys also featured the renowned rhythm section of Tom Mendel (bass) and Tom Hipskind (drums). Considered a Daddys fan, Donald Fagen can be seen in many a YouTube video sporting his Bebop Daddys "tee."Steve, Jon, and Mike formed a bond within the Daddys which has followed them into Deacon Blues. Under the leadership of Steve, musical partner Brian Harris and arranger Jon Hey, the group reads as a "who's who" of world class musicians. Chicago luminaries and Grammy® winners such as Howard Levy (Kenny Loggins, Paul Simon, Bela Fleck), Chuck Webb (Aretha Franklin, Ramsey Lewis, and Al Di Meola), Sugar Blue (The Rolling Stones), Billy Branch (The Sons of Blues), Khari Parker (George Benson, Destiny's Child), Richard Patterson (Miles Davis, Boz Skaggs), and Bob Lizik (The Beach Boys; Brian Wilson), have been featured as special guests with the band. Most recently, original Dan session musician and legendary drummer Bernard "Pretty" Purdie appeared with Deacon Blues at their sold-out Arcada Theatre show over the past Thanksgiving weekend.
This stunning collective is essentially the personification of what The Dan did on record – gathering top studio musicians for their albums – The Deacons are doing this in a live format. Speaking of "The Deacons" – that is actually the moniker of Deacon Blues' alter ego – their original band.
With support from legendary Chicago FM radio station personalities such as Bob Stroud (The Drive) and Scott Mackay (The River), The Deacons will be debuting their first album of original music, in a similar musical landscape as 'The Dan,' in 2016.Deacon Blues has structured their live repertoire to encompass a wider range of the Dan's prolific material – including rarities as well as repertoire from the the Dan's 1991 reunion prototype — The New York Rock and Soul Revue.

I just wanted to quickly pull together some of my thoughts concerning querySelectorAll. I've been asked by a number of people to provide my feedback here. Please forgive me if I've missed some previous discussions on the subject matter.
Andrew Dupont (creator of Prototype's selector engine): "My issue with this is that it violates principle of least surprise and bears no resemblance to the APIs in the wild."
Alex Russell (creator of Dojo's selector engine): "This is a spec bug."
I read about some prior discussion concerning this (especially in relation to DOMElement.querySelectorAll-style queries). This is an important part of most libraries, as it stands. Maciej's proposed solution of using :root to allow for front-leading combinators is perfectly acceptable to me (where :root is made equivalent to the element, not the document element).
There will be some form of a performance hit here but I think, if done correctly, it'll be negligible (especially in comparison to the benefits that are being received).
I hope these proposed changes work well for the members of this group as they will greatly benefit general web developers - and especially library developers.

Abramovich 'eligible to become Israeli'

Image caption Mr Abramovich will be the richest person in Israel
The Russian-Jewish billionaire owner of Chelsea football club, Roman Abramovich, has flown to Tel Aviv after being found eligible for Israeli citizenship.
Immigration officials told the BBC that he was interviewed last week at the Israeli embassy in Moscow. He has faced delays in renewing his UK visa.
His spokesman would not comment on reports citizenship had been granted.
Mr Abramovich, 51, would be the richest person in Israel.
His UK investor visa reportedly expired some weeks ago but the British government has refused to comment on his individual case.
The delay in issuing him a new one comes amid increased diplomatic tensions between London and Moscow after the poisoning of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in southern England.
Abramovich faces UK visa 'delay'
Reality Check: What's an investor visa?
Mr Abramovich did not attend the FA cup final at Wembley earlier this month when Chelsea beat Manchester United.
Israeli media reports say he has been given an identity card in Israel under the Law of Return, which allows Jews to become citizens of Israel.
The Times of Israel said the interior ministry had confirmed Mr Abramovich arrived in Israel on Monday and that he had emigrated to the country.
He is a frequent visitor to Israel and bought a hotel in Tel Aviv in 2015 that reports say he has turned into a residence.
Israel passport holders are allowed to enter Britain without a visa for short stays.
Mr Abramovich is worth $11.5bn (£8.6bn), according to Forbes magazine. The move could pay off financially as new Israeli citizens are exempt from paying tax on foreign income for 10 years.
Who is Roman Abramovich?

One of Russia's richest people, he bought Chelsea FC in 2003
He reportedly sold dolls before making his fortune in oil in the 1990s after the collapse of the former Soviet Union
Mr Abramovich was a one-time business partner of the late tycoon Boris Berezovky, an associate of former Russian President Boris Yeltsin
Critics say the two businessmen used their Kremlin "family" ties to acquire key state companies for below market value
Mr Abramovich served as governor of Russia's Chukotka region
He is believed to be close to current Russian President Vladimir Putin

Four HealthONE Hospitals named among Healthgrades 2021 America's 250 Best Hospitals
Four HealthONE Hospitals named ...
HealthONE today announced that four hospitals within its system have achieved the Healthgrades 2021 America's 250 Best Hospitals Award™. The distinction places The Medical Center of Aurora, Rose Medical Center, Sky Ridge Medical Center and Swedish Medical Center in the top five percent of nearly 4,500 hospitals assessed nationwide for superior clinical performance as measured by Healthgrades, the leading resource that connects consumers, physicians and health systems.
"Our unparalleled commitment to safety and quality are ongoing hallmarks of the exceptional care our patients receive. The pandemic required that our unwavering commitment to patient care drive our decisions and this recognition by Healthgrades is a testament to that," stated Sylvia Young, President and CEO of HealthONE. "We are deeply grateful to the thousands of colleagues and physicians who put our patients first every day, every time."
From 2017 through 2019, patients treated in hospitals receiving the Healthgrades America's 250 Best Hospitals Award had, on average, a 27.4 percent lower risk of dying than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive the award, as measured across 19 rated conditions and procedures for which mortality is the outcome.∗
And during that same period, if all hospitals performed similarly to those achieving the award, 167,235 lives could potentially have been saved. For example, patients treated for community acquired pneumonia in hospitals achieving the Healthgrades America's 250 Best Hospitals Award have, on average, a 38.1 percent lower risk of dying than if they were treated in hospitals that did not receive the award.∗
"Given that the delivery of healthcare has profoundly changed due to COVID-19, we want to extend our congratulations to the hospitals that received Healthgrades America's 250 Best Award. These organizations are committed to providing exceptional clinical outcomes for their patients," said Brad Bowman, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Healthgrades.
As the #1 large health system in the country ranked by IBM Watson Health, HealthONE has worked collaboratively with nurses, physicians, caregivers and colleagues to ensure that the system of care provides unparalleled services to every patient, every time. HealthONE quality has been recognized by many independent, third-party organizations including the Centers for Medicaid and Medicare Services (CMS) which scored three of the hospitals a 5-Star rating, plus four HealthONE hospitals have received an A grade from the Leapfrog Group. Additionally, two HealthONE hospitals — Rose Medical Center and The Medical Center of Aurora — are Magnet designated. As the universally recognized gold standard in nursing care, only about 6% of US hospitals achieve Magnet designation.

Union Pacific Railroad Increasing Train Speed on Rail Line in Wichita
Recent track upgrades meeting or exceeding all applicable Federal Railroad Administration standards will allow Union Pacific Railroad to increase the speed of its trains from 30 mph to 49 mph on nearly four miles of its rail line in Wichita, Kan., between near 63rd St. and just north of the Arkansas River.

Increased train speeds typically reduce motorist wait time at crossings, enhance safety and help Union Pacific more efficiently deliver the goods American businesses and families use daily. The U.S. freight rail network is the safest, most productive and cost-efficient freight rail system in the world.
Union Pacific will increase train speeds by five mph beginning December 1, 2013, and an additional five mph on December 8, 15 and 22 and by another four mph on December 29, when the new maximum speed limit of 49 mph goes into effect.
Union Pacific invested nearly $10 million in track improvements to its line between Wichita, Kan., and Medford, Okla., this year which was instrumental in enabling train speeds to be increased in Wichita.

The Libyan government has announced an immediate ceasefire in its offensive against rebels who have seized large areas of the country. The announcement came as a coalition of Western and Arab nations prepared for air strikes against Libyan forces.
Before the ceasefire announcement, heavy fighting was ongoing across the country.
Rebels said government forces had been bombarding the western city of Misrata.
Military action short of an occupation was sanctioned by the United Nations Security Council on Thursday evening.
Eurocontrol also confirmed Libya had closed all airspace to international aviation traffic in a move designed to thwart attempts to implement a no-fly zone over the country.
Europe's air navigation organisation announced the closure following a decision by the United Nations to approve "all necessary measures", short of invasion, to protect civilians in the country.
Following the UN vote, Great Britain, France and the United States planned a no-fly zone over Libya.
Introducing the resolution, the foreign minister of France, Alain Juppé, said: "The situation on the ground is more alarming than ever, marked by the violent re-conquest of cities that have been released.
The Security Council could not stand by and "let the warmongers flout international legality", he added.
The world was experiencing "a wave of great revolutions that would change the course of history", but the will of the Libyan people had been "trampled under the feet of the Qadhafi regime".
The news comes amid reports of Libyan forces undertaking a sustained anti-rebel operation in the western town of Misratah.
Saif Gaddafi, the son of dictator Muammar Gaddafi, also said "anti-terror" forces will be sent into Benghazi to disarm rebel forces in the eastern Libyan city.
Resolution 1973 (2011) was adopted by a vote of ten in favour to none against, with five abstentions - Brazil, China, Germany, India, and Russia.
The representatives of China and the Russian Federation, explaining their abstentions, prioritised peaceful means of resolving the conflict and said that many questions had not been answered in regard to provisions of the resolution, including, as the Russian representative put it, how and by whom the measures would be enforced and what the limits of the engagement would be.
He said the resolution included a sorely needed ceasefire, which he had called for earlier.
China had not blocked the action with a negative vote in consideration of the wishes of the Arab League and the African Union, its representative said.
The resolution would permit air strikes on Libyan ground troops or allow attacks on Libyan war ships if they were attacking civilians.


AMSTERDAM • Dozens of containers, with items including flat-screen television sets, have washed up on Dutch islands in the North Sea after a ship lost part of its cargo in heavy seas, bringing a windfall to local treasure hunters.
The Dutch Coast Guard said up to 270 containers had fallen off the Panamanian-flagged MSC ZOE, one of the world's biggest container ships, in rough weather near the German island of Borkum and floated south-west towards Dutch waters.
Local media carried pictures of groups of people congregating around beached blue containers and one carrying off what appeared to be a flat-screen TV set still packed in foam. Such material is considered flotsam, and residents of the islands have a centuries-old tradition of collecting it. It was unclear if the goods were water-damaged.
The mayor of the island of Vlieland, Ms Tineke Schokker, said that the municipality does not mind scavenging. "It's just really nice of people," she told local news agency ANP. "Processing it would cost more than the stuff is worth, and anyway with the two officers we have it would be impossible to guard. The stuff is littered over the whole beach."


She is at the age where the world changes from puppies and ponies to mini skirts and hair removal, and where red is the colour of every month.
Inspired by Anthony Neilson's The Wonderful World of Dissocia and a plethora of iconic coming-of-age tales, Cotton Pony is a devised, absurd and disturbing work, tracing the story of Ebony Zedler as she reflects upon her metamorphosis and transformation into a woman. Make no mistake, though – this is no feminist romp. This is one adventure that will grip you by the thorax and drag you deep down the rabbit hole (or somebody's hole), into a whimsical world of oversized tampons, talking hands and leaky toilets. Pestered by a barrage of characters, including a pair of kooky and misguided doctors, a vibrant monster with a hidden agenda, and a wolf with a severe craving for tapas, Ebony takes us with her as she traipses through a world where fantasy, real-life and memory collide.
