Excerpt from Methodist Quarterly Review, 1881, Vol. 63 The Christian Church is growing richer in biography from age to age. It is a principle of the divine economy that the righteous shall be held in everlasting remembrance. While this is primarily true of the remembrance which God cherishes of his own, however little they may be thought of by an un sympathetic world, yet it also has its application to the Church, which delights to preserve the memory of her holy men and women. The Methodist Episcopal Church has always manifested a commendable interest in properly written memoirs of her de ceased Bishops. But, unfortunately, in several instances there has been either a lack of data attainable for the production of such memoirs, or a lack of interest or industry on the part of surviving friends in preparing them.

Excerpt from Methodist Quarterly Review, 1881, Vol. 63: Fourth Series, Volume XXXIII Several circumstances raise a suspicion of the, extreme age of this skull. The gravel in which it is found is a surface deposit covering the face of the country in some regions, and there fore a man of the present day might leave his skull in it. But it was found under one hundred and fifty feet of lava. True. And how long a period would it take a volcano to deposit that amount of lava? W'ithin the present century volcanoes have deposited as much as six hundred feet of lava in a single erup tion. The important question is not, how thick is the lava, but how long has it been in site The United States geological survey of the Territories, 1871, 1872, declares that the effusion of the basal is a modern event, occurring for the most part near the commencement of our present period, after the entire surface reached nearly, or quite, the present elevation. Volcanoes still exist in the Pacific region, and from recent signs at Pike's Peak and elsewhere it is not improbable that this generation may wit ness eruptions in many old craters whose fires have been sup posed extinct. Earthquakes are not uncommon in California, and the hot springs, which are numerous, are looked upon by geologists as the last of a series of volcanic events. So that the thickness of the lava above the Calaveras skull shows nothing but that the. Bones were deposited before any white man visited those regions. As for the gi'avelly matrix, any bones depos ited in the gravel where the warm waters of a geyser may per colate to them, will become incrusted with a gravelly matrix. All along the lllinois River bones, brickbats, and even bits of wood may be found cemented to the river pebbles by carbonate of lime.

Excerpt from Methodist, Vol. 33 of 63: Quarterly Review, 1881 The life of Bishop Roberts was well written by his friend Dr. Elliott. That of Bishop Emory was published in connec tion with his works by his son Dr. Robert Emory. Ample justice was done to the life of Bisliop Hedding by Dr. D. W. Clark, to whom, in turn, a similar service was rendered by Dr. Daniel Curry. Bishop Hamline has had two excellent biogra phers, while of eight other of our deceased Bishops no adequate memoirs have as yet been published.

Excerpt from Index to the Methodist Quarterly Review: Including the Methodist Magazine and Quarterly Review, 1818-1881 The plan of arrangement is topical and alphabetical, the whole mass of material being divided into eight departments, to one of which each article has been assigned; in certain cases, however, where the character of an article would admit of a difference oi opinion, it has been classified under two heads. It is designed to present such an analysis of each of the principal original contributions in the various volumes, that from it the student may comprehend their general scope and distinguish the more important topics treated. The omission of the authors' names in connection with certain of the articles in the earlier volumes is due to the fact that at that time nearly all the papers were published anonymously. The names of the authors of books noticed are generally given. In indexing the division of the periodical into First, Second, Third, and Fourth Series has been disregarded, the volumes being numbered consecutively from the beginning. The number of the volume is designated by Roman numerals, followed by the year of its publication in Arabic figures, after which the page upon which-the article begins is noted. The author is happy to express his grateful acknowledgments to Dr. D. D. Whedon and to Dr. S. Hunt, who have favored him with valuable suggestions, and in particular to his son, Dr. James K. Pilcher, from whose discriminating judgment and careful revision of the manuscript the greatest assistance has been derived.

That sciences are guided by explicit and implicit ties to their surrounding social world is not new. Jaan Valsiner fills in the wide background of scholarship on the history of science, the recent focus on social studies of sciences, and the cultural and cognitive analyses of knowledge making. The theoretical scheme that he uses to explain the phenomena of social guidance of science comes from his thinking about processes of development in general--his theory of bounded indeterminacy--and on the relations of human beings with their culturally organized environments. Valsiner examines reasons for the slow and nonlinear progress of ideas in psychology as a science at the border of natural and social sciences. Why is that intellectual progress occurs in different countries at different times? Most responses are self-serving blinders for presenting science as a given rather than understanding it as a deeply human experience. For Valsiner, scientific knowledge is cultural at its core. Major changes have occurred in contemporary sciences--collective authorship, fragmentation of knowledge into small, quickly published (and equally quickly retractable) journal articles, and the counting of numbers of such articles by institutions as if that is a measure of "scientific productivity." Scientists are inherently ambivalent about the benefit of these changes for the actual development of knowledge. There is a gradual "takeover" of the domain of scientific knowledge creation by other social institutions with vested interests in defending and promoting knowledge that serves their social interests. Sciences are entering into a new form of social servitude.
