No full textKate Pickard, now at home, reports to Peter Still that the first half of the book about Still’s experiences is completed, but has not yet been read by Mr. May; notes that “Mr. Hall of Syracuse will probably publish it”; inquires when Still might want to come “to hear it read” (noting that the first part cannot be set until that happens); and relates family news and good wishes

Zechariah 9-14 as the substructure of 1 Peter’s eschatological program
No full textThe principal aim of this study is to discern what has shaped the author of 1 Peter to regard Christian suffering as a necessary (1.6) and to-be-expected (4.12) component of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ. Most research regarding suffering in 1 Peter has limited the scope of inquiry to two particular aspects—its cause and nature, and the strategies that the author of 1 Peter employs in order to enable his addressees to respond in faithfulness. There remains, however, the need for a comprehensive explanation for the source that has generated 1 Peter’s theology of Christian suffering. If Jesus truly is the Christ, God’s chosen redemptive agent who has come to restore God’s people, then how can it be that Christian suffering is a necessary part of discipleship after his coming, death and resurrection? What led the author of 1 Peter to such a startling conclusion, which seems to runs against the grain of the eschatological hopes and expectations of Jewish restoration ideology?
This thesis analyzes the appropriation of shepherd and fiery trials imagery,
and argues that the author of 1 Peter is dependent upon Zechariah 9-14 for his
theology of Christian suffering. Said in another way, the eschatological program of
Zechariah 9-14, read through the lens of the Gospel, functions as the substructure
for 1 Peter’s eschatology and thus its theology of Christian suffering.
In support of this hypothesis, this study highlights the fact that Zechariah 9-
14 was available and appropriated in early Christianity, in particular in the Passion
Narrative tradition; that the shepherd imagery of 1 Pet 2.25 is best understood
within the milieu of the Passion Narrative tradition, and that it alludes to the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that the fiery trials imagery found in 1
Peter 1.6-7 and 1 Pet 4.12 is distinct from that which we find in Greco-Roman and OT
wisdom sources, and that it shares exclusive parallels with some unique features of
the eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14; that Zechariah 9-14 offers a more
satisfying explanation for the modification of Isa 11.2 in 1 Pet 4.14, the transition
from 4.12-19 to 5.1-4, why Peter has oriented his letter with the term διασπορά,
and why he has described his addresses as οἶκος τοῦ θεοῦ; and finally that 1 Peter
contains an implicit foundational narrative that shares distinct parallels with the
eschatological program of Zechariah 9-14.
We can conclude that 1 Peter offers a unique vista into the way in which at
least one early Christian witness came to understand and to communicate the fact
that Christian suffering was a necessary feature of faithful allegiance to Jesus Christ

Pickard, Kate E.R., letter, Camillus, N.Y., September 28, 1855, to Mr. Peter Still, Burlington, New Jersey
No full textKate Pickard reports that William Still met with Mr. May recently while traveling to Canada; notes that she would like Peter Still to visit her soon (perhaps even when William Still comes back from Canada, so that she can meet with both brothers at the same time); indicates that Mr. Hall of Syracuse has changed his mind and is not willing to publish the book on the Still family; relates that potential publishers in Boston (Jewett) and New York have been contacted, who will need to see the portion of the text already completed; states that the part of his family narrative she has not yet written “is the account of the running away” and subsequent events; and stresses that a pre-holidays publication date is desired

A clock not wound runs down
No full textSeven pigeons were trained to respond on one key during the first half of a 60-s trial, and on another during the second half, to test the prediction that the rate of the internal pacemaker should slow in the absence of reward. The relative probability of responding was well-described by Erlang distributions, which yielded as parameters the period of the pacemaker and the criterial number of counts for switching to the second key. During a subsequent period of extinction the period increased linearly with time in extinction, and the criterial count decreased. This slowing of the pacemaker was predicted by the Behavioral Theory of timing, but not by other theories

Calibrating the excess mass and dip tests of modality
No full textNonparametric tests of modality are a distribution-free way of assessing evidence
about inhomogeneity in a population, provided that the potential subpopulations are suf®ciently
well separated. They include the excess mass & dip tests, which are equivalent in univariate
settings & are alternatives to the bandwidth test. Only very conservative forms of the excess
mass & dip tests are available at present, however, & for that reason they are generally not
competitive with the bandwidth test. In the present paper we develop a practical approach to
calibrating the excess mass & dip tests to improve their level accuracy & power substantially.
Our method exploits the fact that the limiting distribution of the excess mass statistic under the
null hypothesis depends on unknowns only through a constant, which may be estimated. Our
calibrated test exploits this fact & is shown to have greater power & level accuracy than the
bandwidth test has. The latter tends to be quite conservative, even in an asymptotic sense.
Moreover, the calibrated test avoids dif®culties that the bandwidth test has with spurious modes in
the tails, which often must be discounted through subjective intervention of the experimenter
