Right on Boston Common, on the other side of Beacon Hill. Historically, a number of colonial churches were destoyed long before the 20th century, but there are several important churches on Tremont Street and the street parallel to it. Donna is in the library at her desk, in between services. We gave a Bible to a student from Emerson College this morning and the library is just large enough,just barely, so that any college student in Boston is certainly welecome to visit for prayer. Humbly, not having been born and raised in the Congregational Church, I found a copy of the book The Holy Spirit and Power by John Wesley, with a prolougue by Charles Wesley. Wesley began preaching with George Whitefield in 1739, long after pirates like myself....

Donna was at her desk in the library and I went to bring bring her back a coffee. A little girl was crawling underneath one of the tables and playing when she pointed toward me and waved. Well, I thought it was a merely friendly child just waving so I continued on to get coffee and may have quickly half-waved back while spinning through the congregating congregation. Her father, whom I know fairly well was laughing and said "You're Santa Claus". I was busy so politely fended it off apologizing for the snow white beard by saying that I've been sleeping less but would soon look like my old self. After bringing back the coffee, I got through part of an noncredit online college course on the Talmud in between services, which might not be what I'm interested in most and there were Holidays that include Sacred Ritual that I hadn't gotten to- but I needed something new after skipping taking courses during Covid-19 and it gave me the term "omnisignficance" in Rabbinic literature. The lectures were introductory and weren't from anyone that would be attending our service in this part of the country, but those can be made available sometime later and will cover the Torah. After her working in the library, we attended the church service and I got to say hello to our minister before he began the sermon. This is the third minister I've listened to but during that time there have been two, if not three, backup regular ministers, so Ican compare the present minister to others that may have included more personal ancedotes or more instant cross references of scripture to scripture- in general I might prefer his point of departure. Then there was Christmas music, a contemporary Christian "almost rock" band,arently guests from Boston College, the Voices of Imani Gospel Choir, that we had seen before in a different form with less brass instruments. I couldn't find the actual concert on You Tube, but as I mentioned they seemed to be quest musicians. After we got home, I realized that the little girl was waving because she really thought I was Santa Claus. I thought I might make an exception and add a song to the blog. Happy Holidays together as a fellowship and in your personal relationship to God, or covenant with God.

Tom Mix was credited as having written, directed and starred onscreen in the 1915 film "Sage Brush Tom", produced by Selig Polyscope. Apearing in the one reel film were actresses Goldie Colwell and Victoria Forde. Silent Westerns

Ben Hur Director Fred Niblo brought the running length of the silent film to twelve reels with the 1925 film "Ben Hur" bringing the adjective "epic" to the historiography of genre theory during the development of "religious drama", subtitling the film "A Tale of Christ". Hollywood was notorious for not allowing films to be made with visual images of the historical Jesus so as not to perturb religious organizations and delegated Ancient Civilizations to sensational, if not tawdry exploitation, archeologists falling in love in the film .Made for Love. Paul Rotha, in his volume Film Til Now deigned "Ben Hur" to be "the spectaces of spectacles" but only after deriding Cecil B De Mille as a "psuedo-artist" who could be watched with curiousity but not sincerity, DeMille having a "flair for the spectacular and tremendous."
