This volume represents the work of three English composers: John Bennett, William Walond, and William Hine. While not prolific composers, they were probably accomplished keyboard performers. The publications from which the works in this volume were selected had some of the largest subscription lists of the time. The works are composed in Handelian baroque and newer galant styles.

This chapter examines the demise of Norman Vincent Peale’s tribal politics during the period 1955–1985. Peale viewed politics, like religion, as a very personal matter. His strong commitment to the Prohibition struggle emanated in large part from a sense of tribal loyalty. The chapter first considers Peale’s ties to the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) before discussing his personal politics and his involvement in local politics. It then analyzes Peale’s participation in efforts to prevent the nomination of the Roman Catholic Senator John F. Kennedy as presidential candidate in 1960, his friendship with Richard Nixon, and the controversy sparked by the so-called Peale group, which issued a statement indicting the politics of the Roman Catholic Church following a press conference in Washington. It also recounts Peale’s dispute with John Bennett, dean of Union Seminary’s faculty at the time, and concludes with an assessment of his book “The Tough-Minded Optimist.”

The role of amateur astronomers in the search of extragalactic supernovae is emerging. Visual discoveries by John Bennett in 1968 and Gus Johnson in 1979 were isolated and surprising encounters, but are indicative of the possibilities. Between 1980 and the present, these possibilities have been well-tested by the Rev. Robert O. Evans, who has discovered 15 SN’s and shares credit for a 16th. Rev. Evans’ record was achieved through an organized approach to observation and assisted by the development of a unique observing regimen. Detection of SN is a formidable challenge, but the obvious conclusion is that amateurs may expect to attain more than marginal success. We approach this subject from the standpoint of visual observation, but are obliged to acknowledge the contemporaneous and successful application of photography as a search tool.
