A Letter to the Editor of De Hope from a Rev. Mr. W. Raman of the Netherlands Published This Date
No full textA letter to the editor of De Hope from a Rev. Mr. W. Raman of the Netherlands published this date. Mr. Raman reported on a visit with Dr. Albertus C. Van Raalte on September 7th. This person apparently had known V.R. well because he refers to their common suffering thirty years ago. He [Raman] witnessed how his Honorable [V.R.] rejected the human ordinance to sing evangelical hymns in church, how he was forced out of his office as Reformed Minister for Jesus\u27 honor and praise and for His sake. As to \u27V.R.\u27s speaking at a prayer meeting, Raman wrote: Never will we forget the words of Acts 11.5. How forceful and striking, how concise and powerful, how simple and moving were his words on this text! For the congregation and each person present his words were humbling, crushing and comforting at the same time. Raman reported that the Van Raaltes left for America from Rotterdam on September 14. Raman is a pastor and was at that meeting as well as a F. Rederus. Note: a Francis Rederus is listed in the Historical Directory of the Reformed Church in America, 1992, on page 189. Francis Rederus came to America in 1872 as well as his son, Sipko Francis Rederus.https://digitalcommons.hope.edu/vrp_1860s/1389/thumbnail.jp

Abandon Hope All Ye Who Enter Here?
No full textHope plays an important role in all individuals’ lives both today and in the future. While hope and hopelessness are important concepts and the subjects of much theorizing in psychology, theology, philosophy, political science, nursing, as well as in literature and the arts, it is absent from economics. This silence on hope is notable since hope is fundamentally at the centre of choice, especially intertemporal choice, which is at the centre of economic analysis. To place hope at the centre of intertemporal choice, it is important to clearly define what hope is and what it is not. What hope is not is constant. Hope is not optimism; hope is not unfounded dreams divorced from reality; hope is not irrational. I distil what hope is from its characterization in a number of different disciplines. A comparison of characterizations identifies a number of commonalities and common definitions. Using the derived set of definitions, I incorporate hope into economic analysis, consider what implications hope has for the modelling of choice and for economic behaviour, and discuss whether hope is implicitly imbedded in or has been abandoned, to our eternal cost, by economics.Hope, rational choice, goal orientation, expectations, faith
