October 16: James W. Dale

Those Quiet Ones Will Surprise You.
Pastors and some others who read this blog may well have studied the work of the Rev. Dr. James W. Dale, on the subject of baptism. But who was this nineteenth-century author? Rev. James Roberts, author of a Memorial composed in memory of Dr. Dale, writes concerning his subject:
"…the story of such a life can never grow old, and can never cease to be instructive and helpful to others.
Yet Roberts also notes that "The written records from which to construct an adequate memorial [were] almost totally lacking. No diary was kept. No memoranda of personal experience remained. Only occasional dates of events, and a few letters to his family and friends, had been casually preserved."
"Dr. Dale was a very reticent man and seldom spoke of himself or his personal affairs, except to his most intimate friends, and even to them with a lingering flavor of reserve. For instance, he carried on his remarkable researches on the subject of baptism, by day and by night, for twenty long years, without ever saying to a human being that he was making a book, until he had gone over the whole ground of the inquiry, and his first volume was ready for the press."
James Wilkinson Dale was born October 16, 1812, at Cantwell's Bridge (now Odessa) Delaware. He was the third son and the fourth child of Richard Colgate Dale, M.D. and Margaret (Fitzgerald) Dale. Following a term studying law, he turned to prepare for the ministry, initially at the Andover Theological Seminary. From his second year on, he continued his studies at Princeton, graduating there in 1835. He was appointed by the American Board to serve as a missionary in India, but could not gather the requisite financial support and had to withdraw. Undeterred, he next entered upon medical studies to further prepare for missions work, but upon graduation in 1838, entered into a term of service as an agent for the American Bible Society, 1838-1845. He later served as pastor of several churches near Philadelphia. It was during the time of these several pastorates that he wrote his famous works on the subject of baptism.
Classic Baptism was published in 1867; Judaic Baptism in 1869; Johannic Baptism in 1871; Christic and Patristic Baptism, a volume approximately twice the length of the former works, was then published in 1874.
As these volumes were issued, one after another, from the press, they were noticed at considerable length in the editorial columns of many of the religious papers of the country. The foremost professors, pastors, teachers and preachers were strong in their commendation of the author and of the work which he had so well accomplished. Each volume as it came out increased, rather than diminished, the admiration of scholars for the author, and added fresh laurels
The publication of these scholarly volumes at once lifted their author out of the comparative obscurity in which he had lived. His company, his counsel, and his acquaintance, were sought by men eminent in the theological world, who had never seen or even heard of him before the appearance of his books. Other writers in the same field began to quote him as authority, and his works remain and authority on the subject to this day.
In recognition of his scholarship and of his ability as an author, Hampden Sidney College, in Virginia, conferred upon him the degree of Doctor of Divinity, as did also his alma mater, the University of Pennsylvania.
Dr. Dale received no profit from the sale of his books. Perhaps that is not unusual in itself, but he certainly did not publish with an intent to profit from them. In his retirement, he kept busy in part by working to condense and popularize his works on baptism. One friend expressed the wish that "out of this forest of philological learning [speaking of Dr. Dale's prior works on baptism], there might be, in due time, a little grove selected for the security and comfort of the unlettered believer." It was the intention of Dr. Dale to make such "a little grove," in other words, to write a book on baptism which all Christian people could read with interest, pleasure and profit. He found that the books which he had already written and published could not well be abridged or condensed, without lessening their value to preachers and to theological students, for whom they were especially written. He, therefore, determined to prepare such a popular presentation of the subject as would put the valuable results of his studies within the reach of the masses of God's people. This was the task which he had set for himself, and on which he was engaged when the Master called him to lay aside his pen and to enter upon his everlasting reward.
Most people, Christians included, live out their lives in relative obscurity. Few people, Christians included, achieve notoriety in any field. But every Christian has something of great worth that the world knows not. Regardless of our calling in life, we know that we have a purpose. We know that we serve the King of kings. And we know that God has declared that He will be our God, and we will be His people.
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them." (Ephesians 2:10, KJV )

COVID priority containers could mitigate humanitarian crisis
Data sharing across the maritime sector is vitally important to ensure economies and societies recover from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, according to an insight published by a group of logistics and supply chain experts.
A system that could make shipping containers carrying essential goods a 'COVID priority' is just one of many solutions suggested in the article titled 'Information Sharing Communities for Digitally Enabled Supply Chain Visibility'.
Authoring the piece and calling for more collaboration were Wolfgang Lehmacher, Operating Partner, Industrial Innovation Partners, Anchor Group joined Mikael Lind, Associate Professor and Senior strategic research advisor, Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE) and Andre´ Simha, CIO, MSC.
"There is a need for an attitudinal shift: Everyone needs to take responsibility for promoting data sharing, and all need to help establish simple and fair data sharing models," the authors say.
"For every player there needs to be a benefit – a commercial or a social reward, or both. Only then can the true potential of data and information sharing be unleashed."
Data sharing was already a necessity to cope with growing global demand and to make the transportation of goods more efficient.
The COVID-19 pandemic has made it a humanitarian imperative, according to the authors, as it has the potential to speed up the delivery of medicine and food to those most in need.
The number of people in danger of "food insecurity" globally has risen from 135 million at the start of 2020 and will reach 270 million by the end of the year, something the article attributes to "COVID-19 restrictions". This could subsequently result in as much as 12,000 deaths per day.
This makes data sharing and transparency even more vital. Time-sensitive goods can be prioritised for transit and monitored up until it reaches its destination. Critical information such as temperature, transit times and weather conditions allow increased predictability and efficiency across the supply chain.
This could include marking a particular container a 'COVID priority', according to the authors, and allowing that cargo to bypass potential disruptions in the system on land, sea or in flight.
"With the right infrastructure in place," the article reads, "a carrier could put such a container on deck, the terminal could off-load it first, customs could fast-track clearance or clear the container while still at sea.
"The port could even make sure all the traffic lights in the port are set to green for the haulier's truck, etc."
The maritime sector has made progress in data sharing and initiatives such as Port Community Systems work to unite stakeholders and encourage collaboration.
However, the authors insist the industry must go further. "Our call for action is for a collaborative effort to share data, under mutually agreed and fair sharing conditions. This is urgent for the future of our society, vulnerable communities, industry and not the least, our planet."

Interim Research Summary 2011
Onshore drilling in Kefalonia – 2011 Interim Research Summary
Download the full text of the Interim Research Summary.
During 2011, the project sponsors Fugro acting upon the advice of Professor Underhill have performed land-based shallow (less than 100m) drilling using a small mobile rig. That drilling program has enabled continuous rock-cores to be obtained at a number of locations in Kefalonia, mainly in the Thinia valley.
The core samples were transported to Fugro's geospecialist labs in North Wales in late 2011 and are currently being logged, sampled and analysed.
Whilst it will take further time for the overall results to emerge, some of the preliminary indications are of particular interest, as follows:
Borehole cores from the Thinia valley indicate that some very large in-situ rock segments of Cretaceous and Paleogene age period overlay (i.e. have been thrust on top of) rock segments of the younger Plio-Pleistocene period. This confirms that the pre-existing sidewalls of the Thinia valley have themselves been translated westward as a result of relatively recent co-seismic activity. This result represents a "tectonic" disruption of the Thinia valley.
On the south-west flank of the Thinia valley in an area called Katachori, there is clear evidence that a major rockfall has originated from the eastern slopes of the valley, travelled across the valley floor and has come to rest (onlap) upon the upwards-sloping western hillside, infilling the valley itself in the process. This can be confirmed on site and via helicopter-based LIDAR scans, and it is also visible via Google Earth imagery.
The tail end of the rockfall has covered some pre-existing walls which end abruptly at the debris and their continuity can be identified underneath it. Upthrust combined with rockfall and valley fill set up a barrier for drainage that caused an ancient lake to form subsequently above it. The lake bed has now silted up and forms a low-agricultural plain in the centre of the valley.
Elsewhere in Thinia the drill-core samples indicate that rockfall debris covers former marine beach deposits (e.g. at Zola on the north-western end of the valley) and work is ongoing to determine the age of the buried sediments.
" Marine deposits have already been discovered at some locations along the Thinia isthmus, and at present the aerial tests, the land-based observations and the results of the core sampling to date support the tectonic infill proposal. If a tectonic infill can be demonstrated then this will also indicate that the former coastline was not a long and narrow marine channel, but may have been a significantly wider and more naturally shaped marine seaway that resembled the existing bays to the north and south.

Aperture: A region of the pollen wall that differs significantly from the rest of the wall in its morphology and/or anatomy, and is presumed to function usually as a site of germination.
Dispersal Unit: Mature pollen is shed in dispersal units. Once shed, the unit either remains permanently united or becomes partly or usually completely disintegrated. If the unit becomes disintegrated, it is usually a monad. If the unit remains united, it is usually a tetrad, polyad, or dyad. Basically, the "dispersal unit" is the body of the pollen grain.
Monad: A pollen grain in the form of a single unit.
Polyad: A dispersal unit of more than 4 united pollen grains.
Tetrad: A dispersal unit of four united pollen grains.
Tectum: Outer more or less continuous exine (or outer) layer; tectum condition can be eutectate, semi-tectate, or atectate. Hamamelis vernalis is illustrating a semi-tectate tectum (the gap in the exine layer at the aperture) and Dirca palustris is illustrating a eutectate tectum (no gaps or breaks in the exine layer).
Colpus: Pollen grain with elongated aperture (length/width ratio > 2) situated at the equatorial region or regularly distributed over the pollen grain.
Compound: Pollen grain with apertures with two or more components (usually colpi with a pore) that are situated in more than one wall layer, can also be called colporus. The "bubbles" on the Amsonia ciliata are the pores.
Porate: Pollen grain with a circular or elliptic aperture.
Sulcus: Pollen grain with an elongated aperture situated distally.
Echinate: Pollen wall with pointed ornamentation longer and/or wider than 1 um (referred to as echini).
Granulate: pollen wall with granula, or small granule-shaped bumps. This type of ornamentation is often difficult to see with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and can become easily confused with perforate ornamentation.
Lophate: Pollen grain with a network-like pattern of ridges (lophae) formed by the outer exine. Similar to reticulate.
Perforate: Pollen wall with holes less than 1 um in diameter. As mentioned above, perforate and granulate can become easily confused with one another when using SEM and are often listed together under ornamentation.
Psilate: Pollen wall with a smooth surface, or a lack of other ornamentation elements. This type of ornamentation can sometimes be difficult to distinguish from granulate or perforate when using SEM.
Reticulate: Pollen wall with a network pattern formed by exine elements called muri.
Striate: Pollen wall with elongated exine elements separated by grooves predominately parallel arranged.
