Plot
Terry Yue Siu-bo, a single father who single-handedly raises his two children, Natalie and Nicky, to young adulthood after his wife's death. Nicky works as a dolphin trainer at Ocean Park and Natalie goes to school with Ella, Nicky's girlfriend. Natalie's boyfriend, Jason, is a musician who does not speak Cantonese very well and, in his first scene, gives Natalie a pet pig. Siu-bo works as a Chinese traditional bonesetter and has kung fu skills, which he has passed on to his children, who display prowess while fighting each other in sibling disputes. Siu-bo tells exaggerated stories to his children and their friends, but they do not believe him.

Rocco, a wheelchair-using ex-CIA Agent out for revenge, kidnaps Siu-bo and demands information about a former spy whom Siu-bo knew. Siu-bo refuses to tell him, and Rocco threatens to harm his children if he does not give in. During this time, Uncle Chiu discovers Siu-bo's shop trashed and calls up Nicky to tell him of his father's disappearance. Finding a secret room at the back of his shop, Nicky finds out about his father's past as a G4 agent assigned to protect former spies.

Meanwhile, Siu-bo is injected with a truth serum by Rocco's men, and in his degraded mental state he reveals that he hid memory cards containing data about former spies in the lucky charms of his children. Rocco sends agents to Natalie, who is acting in a play, but Nicky manages to get to her and escape with some help from Ella and Jason.

As they hide out in Jason's house, Natalie finds out about the memory card in her charm and has Jason try to open it. They then find out that Natalie's card needs the other memory card to function, but Nicky in his haste to left it in his locker at the park. Nicky and Natalie then attempt to get it during the dead of night, but are intercepted by two of Rocco's minions. After defeating the minions, a phone rings, and they get into direct contact with Rocco, who threatens their father's death if they do not help him in his quest for revenge. Rocco gives gives them one day to find the agent from his past.

Nicky and Natalie get back to Jason's house and find out that they require voice authentication from their father to access the file. Jason works through the night to create a file that would match Siu-bo's voice. During this time Siu-bo attempts to escape, but is foiled by Rocco's son, who is extremely adept with a bo staff. Jason finishes the file, and is finally able to access the database. They find out that Rocco's target is actually Uncle Chiu, who turns out to be the same agent that left Rocco paralyzed and captured him. Nicky and Natalie try to leave to recover their father and find Uncle Chiu, but Jason traps them in his studio, and reveals that he is Siu-bo's co-agent and does not want them to get hurt. He also reveals that his romantic intentions with Natalie are real, and not just a cover story.

Jason makes his way to Uncle Chiu with a plan to relocate him, which the old Uncle seemingly accepts, asking for a final moment to spend with his granddaughter. However, Uncle Chiu then attempts to escape from Jason by climbing and running across rooftops. Meanwhile, the siblings manage to find an air vent to escape from Jason's trap, and follow Jason to Uncle Chiu's restaurant. Jason chases Uncle Chiu, but injures his ankle while attempting to jump between buildings and is barely saved from falling to his death by a fire hose thrown out by Uncle Chiu. Nicky and Natalie catch up to Uncle Chiu, and ask him for help in saving their father. He relents, and Jason calls Nicky to throw him his car's keys, so they could get Uncle Chiu to Rocco in time.

Nicky and Natalie take a boat to Rocco's lair, and demand to see their father. Rocco reveals him to be trapped in a tank rapidly emptying of air, and rebuffs them without the agent he is looking for. Uncle Chiu shows up, and Rocco calls in his men to kill them. They fight their way through everyone, with Natalie breaking out Siu-bo and Nicky saving Uncle Chiu from a killing blow and defeating Rocco's son. Nicky leaves Rocco unharmed after he makes him fall off his wheelchair, and everyone manages to leave Rocco's lair alive. In the ending scene, Jason comes to Siu-bo's home to apologize to Natalie, which she accepts. Nicky finally gets the courage to have a French kiss with Ella, and Siu-bo and Uncle Chiu play a game of chess, with Chiu's granddaughter watching.

We hope this calendar encourages you to come up often and explore the trails! Dates are approximate; a hurricane or early frost may shift the schedule! Collecting animals (including insects) and picking/digging out plants are not permitted.
Last Two Weeks of June
The Summer Solstice occurs on June 21st!
☼ Astronomical Alert: Look low in the west-northwest about 30 to 45 minutes after sunset for Mercury, which reaches greatest elongation (highest above the horizon and visually farthest from the sun) on June 20. Bright yellow Saturn is above Mercury and to the left; on June 15 distant Mars can be seen to the upper right of Mars. Jupiter is the brightest planet now, in the southern sky.
You may hear a few Bullfrogs during a daytime visit. But to really hear them at their best, try to arrange to be at the pond (and very quiet) just before dusk. Scores of them can be almost deafening. Only when the Bullfrogs get quiet every few minutes will you hear the flat, banjo-like twang of the smaller Green Frogs.
The white spikes of Black Snakeroot, 3-5 feet above the forest floor, are conspicuous in the woods around the Education Pavilion.
This is a good time to look for nesting birds at TNC. Signs of breeding (other than a nest, of course) include adults carrying food in their bill (and not eating it), or carrying white fecal sacs away from the nest. Many species will have fledged young, so listen for begging calls (you know they go on, and on, and on…) and you may see the parents feed their fledglings.
First Two Weeks of July
Look for the white flowers of Striped Wintergreen (2" – 6" tall, with a white stripe in the leathery green leaves), especially near the north end of the Yellow Trail. The waxy blooms of Indian Pipes may be evident now too.
Dragonflies and Damselflies are conspicuous over Pfister's Pond, and will remain so throughout the summer. Challenge yourself and see how many different kinds you can observe! It's not as easy as you might expect, since, like birds, some species are obviously sexually dimorphic (that is, males and females of a species may look quite different).
Last Two Weeks of July
Look for Pipevine Swallowtail eggs and caterpillars on the pipe vine over the arbor in the backyard habitat. Look for the white blossoms of Shadbush (a small tree) along the DeFilippi boardwalk.
First Two Weeks of August
☼ Astronomical Alert: The Perseid Meteor Shower is best about Aug. 10-12.
Weather patterns determine when migrant warbler birds will first occur. If a cold front occurs (cooler, drier air) look for the first warblers in late July or early August. Since they typically are not singing, migrants are much less conspicuous.
Last Two Weeks of August
The chance of spotting migrating birds increases with each passing cold front as the month progresses. Look up now and then wherever you are for early migrants such as Common Nighthawk, American Kestrel, and Bald Eagle.
First Two Weeks of September
Turn off the AC and open the windows to enjoy the nighttime chorus of Katydids and Snowy Tree Crickets. Goldenrod and White Wood Asters will be blooming along the trails.
Look for lingering or migrating Hummingbirds around Jewelweed or Impatiens

Through extensive primary source research, I was able to uncover evidence that strongly supports the attribution to Hesselius and assembled a more complete history of the picture and the family who owned it for almost two centuries before donating it to the Indianapolis Museum of Art in 1962. I have also unraveled the relationship between this portrait and an 1870 copy by the little-known American painter Charles Walker Lind (c. 1842–c. 1880).
Between 1797 and 1806, artist and engineer Robert Fulton (1765–1815), better known for his career as a steamboat entrepreneur, was almost wholly preoccupied with the planning and promotion of a system for submarine and torpedo warfare.

Lurking Back
By Nancy Marguerite Anderson December 31, 2014 Anderson-Seton Family, Writing
My mother was a writer, sort of. She wrote columns for local newspapers (for the Campbell River Courier, and the Sooke Mirror), which were generally received with delight and — well — scorn. She had a admirable sense of the ridiculous which translated into a play with words that was, frankly, both delightful and ridiculous. Her memoir-of-sorts was titled Lurking Back — and that is what she claimed she would do when she died. She claimed she would hang in a net and watch what was happening in the world, and to us. But when she died I knew that she wasn't there.
It is New Years Eve, and this particular column of hers seems to be relevant, to me at least. Some people look back on New Years' to see what they have missed; and maybe she did. But here is her column, republished years after she wrote it in the East Sooke Mirror under the heading, East Sooke No-News — and years after it was republished in her book called Lurking Back: East Sooke No-News.
Just Walking
Many years ago, when I was a child my Uncle Jim came to my family at Duncan. Uncle Jim was James Robert Anderson, a well-known B.C. naturalist, Deputy Minister of Agriculture, and author of the book, Trees and Shrubs: Food, Medicinal, and Poisonous Plants of British Columbia. The book was used for many years as a textbook in the schools.
I was a bright and chatty child in my family surroundings and I impressed Uncle Jim. I took walks with him, showed him my favorite tree which grew close to the house, a rustly poplar, and he told me its Latin name and a great deal about its species, which I've forgotten. I do remember what he told me about the wild flower I loved, and still love, the Easter lily, Dog-Toothed Violet some call it. Uncle Jim had a lovely photo of lilies in his book, which I still look at with pleasure. Its Latin name is erythronium and I have remembered that name these almost 60 years.
Because I was so bright and chatty and altogether charming, Uncle Jim invited mt to stay with him in Victoria for a week. He lived in a rooming house on Cook Street and he got me a room. I was thrilled. Victoria was a huge city and I'd never been there. I had my own room and with the lovely food it was a luxury.
Unfortunately the week was a disaster. I was hit with that dread disease, shyness, and I turned into a clod. Uncle Jim was a gruff old man and he didn't know what to do with me. He took me for walks to the Gorge where he showed me the famous "reversing falls." I would walk beside Uncle Jim desperately trying to think of something to say. Occasionally I would come up with a question, he would answer it and that would be that.
Uncle Jim got cranky and I got shyer. One night he snapped at me at suppertime and I heard a girl at the next table in the dining room say, "Poor little thing." She and her fiance invited me to attend a movie with them. Uncle Jim gladly acceded and this I did enjoy, although still silently I am sure.
Uncle Jim decided to ship me back a day or so early for some reason and took me to Woolworth's 5, 10 and 15 cent store and told me I could choose whatever I wanted for a gift. Oh, what joy! I wandered up and down the aisles, saw pretty scarves, diamond brooches, dolls, what to choose? He got sick of waiting and bought me a large boring white handkerchief and put me on the bus. I dimly realized that the visit hadn't been a success.
I had no further acquaintance with Uncle Jim. He was a gruff and lonely person and I was locked in a prison of shyness. I grew up to be an outdoors-loving, woolly-headed sort of person who takes long walks into every bit of grassland and bushland I can find. I look at everything and know almost nothing. Lilies of course I know, violets and columbine, shooting stars, trilliums and camas, but what about the myriad of tiny white, blue and mauve flowers that dot the grasslands, what about them? Uncle Jim could have told me.
Many years later my brother Elton lived with Jimmy and me on Cortes Island. Elton was a logger and in later years, an active environmentalist and editor of the Federation of BC Naturalists' newsletter.
I can remember the large, dirty, tired logger coming home from his days' work, clasping in his great black fist some tiny, insignificant flower. There'd be a great splashing and wallowing in the bathroom as he washed up and then until supper time, there he'd sit, flower in one hand, books spread all around, until he had it nailed down, family, Latin name and all. Flowers in the garden, scarlet and gold, the size of dinner plates, were all heaped together by Elton as "galaxias" or some such silly name, but the name of this little greeenish pinhead would remain with him forever.
Some of this rubbed off on me, but a great deal of it did on my children. They enjoyed Elton and he enjoyed them, took them for walks and taught them things, and they have grown up with a love for and an interest in the outdoors that will never leave them. It's hard for any of us to take a walk without seeing something we wish we could ask Elton about. Often it's a flower, a bird, anything unusual away from the concrete roadways.
I believe that next to reading to a child, there's nothing more important than walking with a child. Teach him to look, to see, to smell what there is away from cars and concrete. Best of all, away from TV. And if you are lucky enough to have an Uncle Jim or an Elton in your family, don't let him go to waste.
I never had an opportunity to know great-Uncle Jim, who died fifteen years before I was born. He was the eldest son of Alexander Caulfield Anderson, born in 1841 at Fort Nisqually. He grew up in the fur trade, and died as a result of being struck by a motor vehicle in Victoria. But I knew my uncle Elton well, and yes, he taught the both my sister and me to look, and to see nature. My book is dedicated to him, and though he died forty years ago, I remember him well.

Knowing J.J. Miller
My greatest rider became a friend 20 January 2020
I have met many famous people in my life, perhaps only shaken hands with them, but dined with others. I've stood at a bar and drunk one-on-one with legends. Some like John James Miller have become friends.
I was privileged to meet John James (J.J) Miller when I was 17 years old. A photograph of him winning the 1966 Melbourne Cup on Galilee had been in a frame on my bedroom wall since I was 12. My great uncle Leo Hooper was an Adelaide bookmaker and friends of the champion horse's owners, Mr and Mrs Max Bailey.
How thrilled I was to receive in the post a colour photograph of Gallilee winning, inscribed "To Francis Wright from Mr and Mrs Max Bailey."
When I met J.J it was through my friend Lee Burkett, who idolised the man. Lee and I would travel to the races with John and his wife Kay. At the time, John was wasting hard to ride and, when we'd leave 56 Burke Drive, Attadale to drive to the races, he was often very cranky.
One night during the halcyon years when Bart Cummings, T.J. Smith and Colin Hayes would bring horses to Perth for the Australian Derby and Perth Cup (for a brief time the Perth Cup had more prizemoney than the Melbourne Cup), Bart was dining at J.J's. Having eaten a roast dinner served by Lee's mum Phyl we weren't hungry when Kay Miller asked us to join them at the table.
What 17-year-old racing tragic was going to pass that offer up. Lee and I sat and ate our second meal within half an hour. Kay was a good cook and John said: "If any one in Perth is eating better than me, I want to know about it." Phyl's meal was better but I wasn't saying anything.
In that period of time, J.J made the Australian Derby his own. He won it six times, sometimes on champions, sometimes on just good horses.
In 1983 he rode the even money favourite Bounty Hawk which won by more than three lengths. It probably didn't need Miller's miracle ride but it remains the single best ride I've ever seen because I have never seen it happen before or since.
Bounty Hawk was well back in the field at the 1200m mark at Ascot. Horses gain inside runs (think Pinker Pinker's Cox Plate) and horses make three-wide runs often getting pushed wider but still winning. J.J didn't do either, he went 'through them.'
Bounty Hawk improved in the one-out line from near last to straighten with only a leader to go around. It seemed every horse in the one-out line peeled out as Bounty Hawk came up behind it. These horses made their runs in a sort of staggered sequence and Miller didn't go anywhere but forward.
I would love to see a replay to prove I am right but I was there. I saw what I saw.
He once won a Boulder Cup at Kalgoorlie racecourse on Bahvell. It beat Sujama (Keith Watson) in a driving finish. That night I dined with Watson and he explained the race.
"It's no disgrace to be beaten by the best jockey in the world. I've ridden in most places that are regarded as racing centres and I've never ridden against one better.
"Three times I had him reaching for the stick and each time he changed his mind and kept riding hands-and-heels. If he goes for the whip you know he's beaten but he didn't use it."
In 1986 Kay had a trainer's licence and J.J won the Perth Cup for her on Ullyatt. He had to waste hard to ride it.
He was a seasoned veteran but seemed to be getting lighter if it was worth it. What his diet was to ride the winner Rocket Racer at 48kg in the 1987 Perth Cup would stagger any eater. A far cry from the cranky J.J of the early 1970s struggling to ride 54kg.
My favourite memories of John were in the latter stages of his riding career. He developed a magnificent bit of showmanship combined with professionalism.
He nearly always put horses into the box seat and would pounce on the leaders into the home straight. About halfway down the straight and satisfied he had the horses on his inside beaten, J.J would raise his right elbow about 15cm, turn his neck to the right and look between arm and body to ensure no horse was finishing down the outside.
When he did it and you had backed the horse, there was no greater feeling. It was like bottled adrenaline permitted to course through your body.
J.J took out a trainer's licence and won another Perth Cup with King of Saxony in 1999. The gelding had not had a race for eight months and the cup was then at 3200 metres, equal of the longest distance on the flat of any major Australian race. Winning the race first up has never been done before or since and it was no easy cup. The horse he beat, Rogan Josh, went on to win a Melbourne Cup.
My father Jim Wright was a great friend of John's. He told me that when J.J was invited to the WA Turf Club committee room that afternoon to celebrate King of Saxony's win, the first person to see him enter was Bart Cummings. The man who trained 12 Melbourne Cup winners thrust his race book and a pen at his old friend.
"Can I have your autograph?" he said.
Quite a compliment. A genius reaching out to a legend.

Mindszentkálla község Veszprém vármegyében, a Tapolcai járásban. A település eredetileg Szent István magyar király korától az 1950-es megyerendezésig Zala vármegyéhez tartozott.

Fekvése

Mindszentkálla a Balatontól északra, a Káli-medencében helyezkedik el, a szomszédságában fekvő települések Káptalantóti, Kékkút és Szentbékkálla.

Közigazgatási területének déli részén végighalad a Zánka és Gyulakeszi között közel 20 kilométeren húzódó 7313-as út, belterületét azonban csak a 73 135-ös út érinti, amely 7313-asból ágazik ki észak felé Szentbékkálla déli külterületén, majd miután végighalad annak központján, Mindszentkálla érintésével visszatér a 7313-asba.

Története
A környék ősidőktől kezdve lakott hely volt. Az egyik szomszéd faluban, Kékkúton, már a római korban laktak keresztények is. Ezt bizonyítja az ott talált  Krisztus monogrammos kő.

Mindszentkálláról az első írásos említés 1277-ből való. 1324-ben már saját nevén szerepel: "Villa Omnium Sanctorum Kaal". 1333-ban a Pápai Tizedjegyzék már említi a falu papját – János-t. A török 1548-ban teljesen fölégetik a falut, de az (hamar) újra benépesül, kiegészülve máshonnan jövő, főképpen magyar nemzetiségű telepesekkel.

Bár a jelenlegi templom 1829-ből való klasszicista építmény, mégis román kori a keresztelőmedencéje és a szenteltvíztartója. Mindkettő, valamikor a falu határában a Garanya-hegyen állott, a török hódoltság alatt elpusztult templomból származhat.

 1994–1998: Csombó Zoltán (független)
 1998–2002: Csombó Zoltán (független)

 2014–2017: Keszler Gyula (független)
 2017–2019: Németh László (független)
 2019-től: Csombó Zoltán (független)

A településen 2017. október 1-jén időközi polgármester-választást kellett tartani, mert az előző polgármester az év június 30-i hatállyal lemondott tisztségéről. A választás lényegében tét nélkül, és ennek megfelelően alacsony részvételi arány mellett zajlott, mert egyetlen jelölt indult a polgármesteri posztért.

Népesség
A település népességének változása:

A 2011-es népszámlálás során a lakosok 92,3%-a magyarnak, 1,2% németnek, 1,2% románnak, 0,4% cigánynak mondta magát (7,7% nem nyilatkozott; a kettős identitások miatt a végösszeg nagyobb lehet 100%-nál). A vallási megoszlás a következő volt: római katolikus 75%, református 2,3%, evangélikus 2,3%, felekezeten kívüli 7,7% (11,2% nem nyilatkozott).

Nevezetességei
Mindszentkálla és Szentbékkálla között található a Káli-medence egyik leghíresebb nevezetessége, a Kőtenger, ahol különleges geológiai látványosságot kínálnak a sziklákon és mélyedéseikben megtelepedő növények és virágok. Mindszentkálla település környezetében kiváló szőlőtermő területek találhatóak, a pincékben a helyi borok kóstolására is lehetőség van. A környék látnivalói a fehérre meszelt kőkeresztek, melyekből egyet a község határában láthatunk. Vendégházai a falusi turizmus kiinduló pontjai lehetnek.

Hand Washing – Let's Talk Quality!
With the continuation of the cold and flu season, it is a good time to review the proper hand washing procedures based upon guidelines from Pennsylvania DHS and Caring for Our Children, Third Edition (Standard 3.2.2.2).
a. Check to be sure a clean, disposable paper towel is available.
b. Turn on warm water, between 60°F and 110°F, to a comfortable temperature.
c. Moisten hands with water and apply soap to hands.
d. Rub hands together vigorously until a soapy lather appears, hands are out of the water stream, and continue for at least twenty seconds (sing "Happy Birthday" silently twice) Rub areas between fingers, around nail beds, under fingernails, jewelry, and back of hands.
e. Rinse hands under running water, between 60°F and 110°F, until they are free of soap and dirt. Leave the water running while drying hands.
f. Dry hands with the clean, disposable paper towel.
g. If taps do not shut off automatically, turn taps off with a disposable paper towel.
h. Throw the disposable paper towel into a lined trash container.
The running water washing over the hands removes the visible soil that is just loosely on the hands. The second reason for wetting the hands before applying soap is that it helps to create a lather that can loosen the more stuck on soil. The soap lather loosens soil and incorporates it into the solution on the surface of the skin. Then, rinsing the lather off into a sink removes the soil from the hands that the soap brought into solution. Warm water, is more comfortable than cold water and using warm water also promotes adequate rinsing during hand washing.
Excerpt taken from Caring for Our Children, 3rd Edition.

Nathaniel Irwin and the Plan of Union 1801
In 1681, William Penn's father entrusted to him a proprietorship of over forty-thousand square miles of land stretching west from the Delaware River. It was named Pennsylvania. The tract was given to Penn by Charles II in repayment of a debt. A portion of Penn's property went to his daughter Letitia and it was named Fagg's Manor in honor of English parliamentarian Sir John Fagg. Penn wanted Pennsylvania to become a refuge for Quakers and other groups seeking freedom to worship and work. Settlers came to Pennsylvania from several countries with many emigrating from Sweden, Germany, England, Scotland, and Ireland as Lutherans, German Reformed, and Presbyterians along with Penn's Quakers and the Church of England. A Presbyterian congregation was established at Fagg's Manor in 1730 and its first called pastor, Samuel Blair (d. 1751 at 39), ministered the Word and mastered a classical school. It was into this community that Nathaniel Irwin was born, October 17, 1756.
Nathaniel's father was an artisan who shaped and turned wood into the residential textile mill of the day—the spinning wheel. Little more is known about the boy's ancestry other than his parents were Scotch-Irish. If the Irwins attended church, it would have been in the brick meeting house at Fagg's Manor and early schooling was possibly administered by Blair's younger brother, John (1720-1771). John had studied as did Samuel with William Tennent at the Log College in Neshaminy. John Blair would in 1767 become interim president of the College of New Jersey while it awaited arrival of John Witherspoon. The College connections to Fagg's Manor were strong and it was only natural that young Irwin would find himself across the Delaware studying in New Jersey.
Irwin matriculated at the College of New Jersey with classmates whose vocations included ministry, politics, law, and medicine. During his residency in June 1769 the American Whig Society was established with Irwin a founding member. Other first members were James Madison, Aaron Burr, and Samuel Stanhope Smith. It was a debating society that followed the principles of John Locke by promoting virtue, the rights of citizens, and separation of powers, but the immediate impetus to establish the Society was a series of essays by William Livingstone titled, "American Whig," published in the New York Gazette. The Society provided a common political ideology and bond for those who would soon work to be independent from Great Britain. For his graduation discourse he defended the study of classical languages as a tool for the study of science. Included among his twenty-four classmates were the college president's son, James Witherspoon, and Frederick Frelinghuysen, who was the son of Reformed Dutch minister and College board member John Frelinghuysen. He began studying theology as a candidate under the care of Newcastle Presbytery and was licensed to preach the gospel May 1, 1774. After some months supplying the Neshaminy Church, he was ordained and installed its pastor by the First Presbytery of Philadelphia (New Side), November 3, 1774. His salary was 130 pounds until the church provided a parsonage when the pay would drop to 100, but the parsonage was never made available.
As indicated by his American Whig Society membership, Irwin had political interests. The immediate years leading up to the Revolution and the formative years for the nation after independence saw some clergy giving speeches, debating, and expressing their opinions about government from the pulpit. Irwin's association with James Madison became a lifetime friendship. While a licensed missionary, Irwin visited Madison in Virginia and preached in churches of the predominately Anglican region and was well received, but it was not the best missionary method when the purpose of his work was establishing Presbyterian churches. When Madison became president, Irwin visited him in Washington and they corresponded. Irwin's political interests continued throughout his life, and he was not shy to express his opinions in Bucks County when it came to political-governmental issues.
According to James P. Wilson, Nathaniel Irwin was considered one of the best preachers of his time. He was clear, fluent, forcible, and deeply empathetic. His funeral services were always appropriate to the particular situation with tenderness towards the family and friends of the deceased. His fabled method of sermon writing may come into practice again in a modified form. Automobile manufacturers today are developing autonomous vehicles that are expected eventually to control the car completely. Pastor Irwin had an autonomous vehicle named Dobbin, a mare. It was said that Irwin would mount Dobbin, head to the church for Sunday service, release the reins, and she would walk along the familiar route while he wrote the morning sermon. The horse would cut across fields and townsfolk would take the rails from the appropriate sections of fence so Dobbin could move along without affecting her pace. Ministers, someday you too might be able to write your sermon while riding to church in an autonomous vehicle, but one has to wonder how well written such sermons would be. Given Wilson's praise for Irwin's sermons, he must have had a magnetic memory, read extensively during the week, and was able to write as he travelled from home during the roughly one hour trip to Neshaminy Church. How one dips a pen or keeps a pencil sharp while riding upon a saddle is a question that goes unanswered.
Another attribute of Irwin was his participation in the church courts where he was known for astute observations and a concern for parliamentary procedure. He was a jot-and-tittle man when it came to things being done decently and in order. This aspect of his interests would come in handy during the General Assembly in 1801.
General Assembly of 1801 and the Plan of Union
The Presbyterian Church in the United States of America convened for its General Assembly in First Church, Philadelphia, Thursday morning May 21, 1801 and would adjourn June 2. After retiring moderator Joseph Clark completed his duties opening the sessions and delivering his sermon from Matthew 28:18-20, Nathaniel Irwin was elected moderator. It would become one of the most important assemblies in the history of the denomination, and those in attendance included former and future moderators John McKnight, John Woodhull, Ashbel Green, Nash Le Grand, Archibald Alexander, and Samuel Miller. The main issues were election of trustees for the Assembly; missions to the frontier and indigenous peoples; increasing the efficiency of fund raising; a case of an Irish minister's credentials; and the Plan of Union between the Presbyterians and the General Association of Congregational Churches of Connecticut. An issue indirectly related to the Plan of Union was the report of a committee charged with determining the acceptability of Congregationalist minister Timothy Dwight's revision of Isaac Watts' Psalms for Presbyterian use. The committee unanimously recommended its use with modifications, but the Assembly resolved that "any system of Psalmody" must "first be submitted to their inspection and review." As the Presbyterians and Congregationalists were working on cooperating in some matters, the use of Dwight's work may have been seen as a step toward unity. Psalmody would continue to be debated, but the big issue for the year was achieving the Plan of Union. Even though the Assembly minutes do not mention the extent of debate, there are hints that adoption of the Plan occurred after protracted deliberation. Moderator Irwin was in his element as the commissioners had to be kept on track with propriety.
A communication was read from the General Association of the state of Connecticut, appointing a committee to confer with a committee of the Presbyterian Church, to consider the measures proper to be adopted by the General Association and the General Assembly, for establishing an uniform system of church government, between the inhabitants of the new settlements, who are attached to the Presbyterian form of government, and those who prefer the Congregational form.
The communication was tabled. Later in the Assembly it was taken up with Moderator Irwin appointing to a committee John McKnight, John Woodhull, Jonathan Edwards, Jr., Samuel Blatchford, and a ruling elder from the Presbytery of Albany named Isaac Hutton. The next day the committee presented its report, but it was tabled. Finally, the report was taken up, considered, and "after mature deliberation," approved, where "mature deliberation" likely indicates lengthy discussion. There were only two items of business between 9:00 AM and 3:00 PM that day—conclusion of minor items in the Committee of Missions report and adoption of the Plan of Union, so a guess is four hours or so of debate.
The text of the brief document follows. Note the words "to prevent alienation, and to promote union and harmony," because a driving factor behind the Plan was avoiding contention between Congregationalists and Presbyterians in frontier settlements.
Regulations adopted by the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in [the United States of] America, and by the General Association of the state of Connecticut, (provided said Association agree to them), with a view to prevent alienation, and to promote union and harmony in those new settlements which are composed of inhabitants from these bodies.
First— It is strictly enjoined on all their missionaries to the new settlements, to endeavor, by all proper means, to promote mutual forbearance, and a spirit of accommodation between those inhabitants of the new settlements who hold the Presbyterian, and those who hold the Congregational form of church government.
Second—If in the new settlements any church of the Congregational order shall settle a minister of the Presbyterian order, that church may, if they choose, still conduct their discipline according to Congregational principles, settling their difficulties among themselves, or by a council mutually agreed upon for that purpose. But if any difficulty shall exist between the minister and the church, or any member of it, it shall be referred to the Presbytery to which the minister shall belong, provided both parties agree to it; if not, to a council consisting of an equal number of Presbyterians and Congregationalists, agreed upon by both parties.
Third— If a Presbyterian church shall settle a minister of Congregational principles, that church may still conduct their discipline according to Presbyterian principles, excepting that if a difficulty arise between him and his church, or any member of it, the cause shall be tried by the Association to which the said minister shall belong, provided both parties agree to it; otherwise by a council, one half Congregationalists and the other Presbyterians, mutually agreed upon by the parties.
Fourth—If any congregation consist partly of those who hold the Congregational form of discipline, and partly of those who hold the Presbyterian form, we recommend to both parties that this be no obstruction to their uniting in one church and settling a minister; and that in this case the church choose a standing committee from the communicants of said church, whose business it shall be to call to account every member of the church who shall conduct himself inconsistently with the laws of Christianity, and to give judgment on such conduct. That if the person condemned by their judgment be a Presbyterian, he shall have liberty to appeal to the Presbytery; if he be a Congregationalist, he shall have liberty to appeal to the body of the male communicants of the church. In the former case, the determination of the Presbytery shall be final, unless the church shall consent to a further appeal to the Synod, or to the General Assembly; and in the latter case, if the party condemned shall wish for a trial by a mutual council, the cause shall be referred to such a council. And provided the said standing committee of any church shall depute one of themselves to attend the Presbytery, he may have the same right to sit and act in the Presbytery as a ruling elder of the Presbyterian Church.
The General Association met later in June, so copies were given to the commissioners appointed to the meeting, Archibald Alexander and John McKnight. The General Association "promptly ratified without alteration" the Plan in Litchfield on June 16. The Plan would be in effect for over thirty-five years. The four points were intended to provide guidance for the difficulties that could be faced as a result of two different polities representing the Westminster Standards in a settlement.
Controversy over the Plan among Presbyterians was chiefly due to the belief that the Congregationalists were going in the wrong direction doctrinally and in fact were not holding to the Westminster Confession as they professed. The issue for Presbyterians was The New England Theology which evolved from the thought of Jonathan Edwards (1703-1758) through influential figures including two of Edwards' students, Samuel Hopkins (1721-1803) and Joseph Bellamy (1719-1790), as well as his own son, Jonathan Edwards, Jr. (1745-1801), and then culminated with Nathaniel W. Taylor (1786-1858). By the time Taylor died, the New England Theology had shifted sovereignty from the list of God's attributes to those of man. The theological concerns of those against the Plan would only increase, but one must wonder why the commissioners in 1801 believed the two polities could work together. Even though it is called the Plan of Union, it was not in fact a union in the sense the Presbyterians and Congregationalists merged into Presbygationalists, but instead it was seen as cooperation between denominations that were at least in theory united by the Westminster Confession. Both denominations adoption of the Plan indicates polity was not a barrier to union, which would surely have surprised the congregational dissenting brethren who walked out of the Westminster Assembly and the Presbyterians that bid them adieu. The Plan was seen as a union because it was believed there was confessional comradery, but the New England Theology betrayed a turn by the Congregationalists from the theology of Scripture as summarized in the Westminster Standards.
Samuel Miller's attendance was noted earlier in this post. It was his first Assembly as a commissioner and he was appointed a temporary clerk by Irwin. Miller attributed composition of the plan to the president of Union College, Jonathan Edwards, Jr., who was a member of Albany Presbytery. Miller commented about the thinking at the time the Plan was adopted.
At the inception of the measure, no one appears to have dreamed of the difficulties which it afterwards occasioned; and, in fact, those difficulties arose less from the plan itself, clearly unconstitutional as it was, than from the rise, in New England, of both a new theology and a new spirit, which resulted in its becoming, on that side, an engine of proselytism and the dissemination of error within the bounds of the Presbyterian Church. (Life, 1:140)
Later in his life Dr. Miller reassessed his perspective on the 1801 decision.
In looking back on the origin and object of the "Plan of Union," this 25th of November, 1847, I cannot take the retrospect without sorrow and shame. Never, I suppose, did a large body of ministers act from purer motives, or with more entire fraternal harmony, than did the members of the General Assembly in adopting this measure. The avowed and the sincere object of it was to avoid discord, and to promote and establish peace. But it was a most unfortunate measure. It led eventually to an amount of abuse and to conflicts by no means anticipated by either Presbyterians or Congregationalists. The truth is, acting under the guidance of our form of government, we had no right to make the concessions which that plan included. But these concessions, while altogether unauthorized and disorderly in themselves, were perverted and abused in a manner by no means intended or foreseen; until they produced an amount of evil which rendered necessary the painful separation of 1837. (ibid.)
Miller did not provide specifics in his comment on how the Plan was unconstitutional, but one example is seen in the fourth point. Congregationalists and Presbyterians united in one church desiring to have a minister while maintaining their polities were allowed by the fourth point to do so. If a church did this, it was to establish "a standing committee from the communicants" for the purpose of watching out for the sheep. The Presbyterian standards say elders are responsible to oversee the congregation, so a Presbyterian minister is put in a compromising situation by the Plan because fundamental to his polity is rule of the local church and its connectional bodies by elders. Polity was compromised in the direction of congregationalism.
Miller said the commissioners in 1801 were enthusiastic about the union; they wanted harmony, peace, and an end to the strife sometimes occurring between the denominational churches on the frontier. The motives were good, but good motives should be expressed in actions consistent with constitutional standards. Samuel Miller was upset about the Plan of Union in retrospect because the General Assembly had let the church membership down by accepting a solution grossly inconsistent with the standards of the church. Thus, in 1837 as the New England Theology was approaching its fullness having influenced a considerable portion of the Presbyterians, the denomination divided into Old School and New School with the New School heavily influenced by the New England Theology and the Plan of Union was abrogated by the Presbyterians. For Miller, the Plan was a bad decision that had bad results. Great caution should be exercised whenever union or cooperation between denominations or parachurch organizations is contemplated because each groups will have to give up something to unite. That which is given up may be minor and union can take place, but each participant needs to be sure that anything given up is in fact minor and in the long term, as far as can be determined, will not lead to trouble.
When Moderator Irwin adjourned the court it was to convene once again the next year in First Church, Philadelphia, with Azel Roe to be elected moderator. Irwin's retiring moderator's sermon text was Luke 14:23, "Compel them to come in."
Nathaniel Irwin spent his remaining years with the Neshaminy Church. He died March 3, 1812 and was buried on the spot where the original pulpit of the Neshaminy Church's first building stood. He was married twice with the first marriage ending in 1784, but then twenty years later he married a neighbor named Priscilla McKinstry. He was survived by Priscilla and his daughter's family. Irwin was not a writer, but he was stated clerk of the Synod of New York and Philadelphia, 1781 to 1785, and then he was elected the first permanent clerk of the General Assembly in 1802 with his tenure ending in 1807. Ministers are called with salaries that are hoped to keep them free from worldly cares, but this does not happen often, however Irwin became a wealthy man and his home on what is currently Easton Road is a fine one that included a two-hundred acre farm that proved profitable. During his final years used his wealth in an attempt to locate the Presbyterian seminary in Bucks County. He enjoyed having young people for company and would sometimes entertain them by playing his violin (hopefully better than Sherlock Holmes did).
In conclusion, since a portrait was not located, the following description of Irwin by Archibald Alexander when he met him at the General Assembly in 1801 is provided.
Nathaniel Irwin of Neshaminy was an influential member of this Assembly. He was very tall, and had a voice the sound of which produced alarm, on a first hearing. He always took his stand at a place the most remote from the chair, and seemed to utter everything with the greatest sound he could command. It was easy to discern that as his head was literally long, so it was intellectually. (Life, 98)
In the era, if one was long headed it meant the person was a great thinker.
Notes—Fagg's Manor Church was founded in 1730 and is currently a congregation of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA). The name has been changed to Manor Presbyterian Church and there is a history page with a nice collection of pictures of the succession of church buildings. Manor Church's published history by Musetta E. McClellan is titled, A History of Faggs Manor Presbyterian Church 1730-1980, 1980, and it is a fine example of how to write a congregational history.

The entry for Irwin in Sprague, Annals, vol. 3, which was provided to Sprague by the pastor of First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, James P. Wilson. As the crow flies, it is two miles from Irwin's still standing home on Easton Road to the Neshaminy Church property. A horse walks at three to four miles an hour. See Richard A. Harrison, Princetonians 1769-1775: A Biographical Dictionary, by Princeton University Press, 1980; Harrison notes most sources give Irwin's birth year as 1756, but the tombstone inscription is 1746. Information about the Whig Society at the College of New Jersey was found in Addresses and Proceedings at the Celebration of the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Founding of the American Whig Society of the College of New Jersey, Princeton, N.J., June 19th, 1869, published in 1870. Samuel Davies Alexander's Princeton College During the Eighteenth Century printed in New York by Anson D. F. Randolph & Company, 1872, has much information. Neshaminy Church's history is History of Neshaminy Presbyterian Church of Warwick, Hartsville, Bucks County, Pa., 1726-1876, 1876, by D. K. Turner. Information on Irwin was found in W. W. H. Davis, The History of Bucks County Pennsylvania, Doylestown: Democrat Book and Job Office Print, 1876. Two online letters from Irwin to James Madison are in the Library of Congress Digital Collection—one four side letter of March 31, 1801 is quite difficult to read, and the other one is a brief two side letter dated March 15, 1811.

The source for Miller is The Life of Samuel Miller, D.D., LL.D., 2 vols., Philadelphia: Claxton, Remsen and Haffelfinger, 1869; Miller published Presbyterianism: The Truly Primitive and Apostolical Constitution of the Church of Christ in 1836; was it motivated by the Plan of Union issues given the Schools would separate in 1837?

Hey, vaccinate your employees against Hepatitis A
A food handler infected with hepatitis A who worked at New Jersey's Mendham Golf and Tennis Club is likely responsible for 27 illnesses including one death.
The outbreak, traced to the infected food handler who worked at the Mendham Township club between June 9 and June 30, was first reported in an advisory letter sent to township residents on July 5.
A letter to club members recommended that anyone who dined at the club between June 9 and June 30 should seek advice from their medical provider.
In 2000, I wrote this:
In light of the recent, large-scale Hepatitis A exposure in the San Francisco Bay Area, food safety attorneys of the Seattle-based law firm of Marler Clark, are asking restaurants and food manufacturers to voluntarily vaccinate all workers against Hepatitis A. "In the last six months Hepatitis A exposures have been linked to two Seattle-area Subways, a Carl's Jr. in Spokane, WA, Hoggsbreath, a Minnesota restaurant, and three restaurants in Northwest Arkansas, IHOP, U.S. Pizza, and Belvedeers. Now more than seven- hundred children are being vaccinated against this potentially deadly virus in California after possible consumption of contaminated strawberries. Furthermore, this isn't the first time that strawberries have been implicated in the outbreak of a foodborne disease." Marler continued, "Restaurants and food manufacturers must take action and voluntarily vaccinate all of their employees."
Hardly a week goes by that there is not yet another announcement of a hepatitis A positive employee putting co-workers, customers and the restaurant brand at risk. There have been illnesses, deaths, thousands of customers have had to stand in long lines to get preventative vaccines, some restaurants have shuttered and there certainly have been lawsuits.
Perhaps 27 ill and a death will be a wake-up call? Or, will this tragedy be ignored again by the food service industry?
All of this is preventable by a hepatitis A vaccination – the only foodborne illness that is vaccine preventable.
So, here is my offer – AGAIN – to the first restaurant chain with more that 250 locations (corporate and/or franchise) that will offer hepatitis A vaccinations to all present and future employees and I will agree to consult with that restaurant chain for $1.00 and conflict Marler Clark from being on the opposite side of the courtroom.
This seems like an "offer you can't refuse."
Whether or not you take me up on my offer, consider offering to vaccinate your employees anyway – be a food safety leader. In addition to being the right thing to do during a nation-wide outbreak of hepatitis A, it is good for your employees, your customers, your brand – and, for taking money out of my pocket.
