he has no pleasure in the strength of a man;
12 But the Lord has pleasure in those who fear him,
in those who await his gracious favor.
13 Worship the Lord, O Jerusalem;
praise your God, O Zion;
14 For he has strengthened the bars of your gates;
he has blessed your children within you.
15 He has established peace on your borders;
he satisfies you with the finest wheat.
16 He sends out his command to the earth,
and his word runs very swiftly.
17 He gives snow like wool;
he scatters hoarfrost like ashes.

who can stand against his cold?
19 He sends forth his word and melts them;
he blows with his wind, and the waters flow.
20 He declares his word to Jacob,
his statutes and his judgments to Israel.
21 He has not done so to any other nation;
to them he has not revealed his judgments.
Hallelujah!

Daniel G. C. Wu
b. 1883, Taishan, Guangdong, China
d. April 6, 1956, San Francisco, California
Taishan
Taishan is located about 80 km (50 miles) west from Macau and 135 km (85 miles) southwest of Guangzhou, formerly known as Canton.
It is part of the Pearl River Delta. This delta is made up by the confluence of three rivers. The Xi Jiang (West River) and the Bei Jiang (North River) empty into the South China Sea. The Dong Jiang (East River) flows into the Pearl River in the east.
The flat lands of the delta are criss-crossed by a network of tributaries of the Pearl River. There are 95 islands and islets in the delta.
The Treaty of Nanjing ended the First Opium War in 1842. There had been a trade imbalance between Qing Imperial China and Great Britain caused by the demand for silk, porcelain and tea in Europe. The British East India company had opium grown in India smuggled to China.
The sale of the smuggled narcotic reversed the trade deficit. It also induced addiction among users in the Chinese population. When a large amount of opium had been confiscated by a Chinese official, Parliament sent the Royal Navy to inflict damage on the empire in a tactic that has come to be called gunboat diplomacy.
The treaty was regarded as unfair, but it opened China to greater foreign trade just before the California Gold Rush. The prospect of emigration to the United States acquired appeal.
Many served as contract workers in Hawaii, Cuba and California. The Chinese made up 80% of the company workforce for the Central Pacific half of America's Transcontinental Railroad. They laid track over the mountains and deserts of the west.
Daniel Wu
Wu was given the name Ng Gee Ching at his birth in China in 1883. He moved to Honolulu, Hawaii as a child.
Deaconess Emma Drant taught him English in exchange for information about the Cantonese language. Gee Ching felt lukewarm towards Christianity at first. He was inspired by Drant's faith. He added Daniel Wu to his name when he converted.
Wu initially remained in Hawaii when Drant moved to the San Franciso Bay area in 1905 to assist the Chinese community with the True Sunshine Episcopal mission. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake resulted in fires. 3,000 people were killed. 80% of the city was destroyed.
Chinese immigrants were especially hard hit. Wu responded to Drant's call for help with the mainland community. Many immigrants from Chinatown moved across the bay to the Oakland area. Another mission was opened by the name the Church of Our Saviour.
When Drant left to respond to another assignment in the east, Wu helped to manage both missions. He studied for the priesthood at the Church Divinity School of the Pacific. He was ordained as a priest in 1912. He became the vicar for both missions.
Wu married King Yoak Won (1890-1982) in 1913 after a 3 year courtship. She was the granddaughter of immigrants from Toi San county in what became southern Guangdong Province. Her father (by then deceased) had arrived during the California Gold Rush and worked to build railroads.
King Yoak Won had been introduced to Christianity by a Chinese Methodist missionary. She was baptised in a Congregationalist church. They met when she was rolling bandages for the army of the new republic in China. The Xinhai Revolution had overthrown the Manchurian Qing, Puyi in 1911. The Qing dynasty had ruled China from 1644 to 1911.
Sun Yat Sen had been the first president for the nationalist Republic of China. His term in office only lasted months in 1912. Yuan Shikai was elected president of the ROC in 1913 after his opponent had been assassinated. He eventually declared himself the emperor of China in 1915.
Wu was married to Won in Grace Cathedral in San Francisco in a ceremony in both English and Chinese. The Wus eventually had 4 children.
He frequented the port of entry to make contact with newly arrived immigrants. Many of them were Cantonese people. Wu and his wife offered English and sewing classes for adults as well as Chinese language classes for children in the two congregations. About 250 persons attended the daily classes at each school.
King Yoak Won Wu also assisted immigrants through the Chinese YWCA that had been founded in 1916. She was on the board of directors for many years.
Fr. Daniel retired from both his congregations in 1944.
He died on April 6, 1956. His wife King Yoak Wu survived him by 26 years.
Both congregations that Wu shepherded survive to this day albeit in different locations. They offer services in English, Cantonese and Mandarin, as well as continue to offer language and sewing classes.

Alexander Herzen
b. April 6, 1812, Moscow, Russia
d. January 21, 1870, Paris, France
Moscow
The city of Moscow gradually grew around the Kremlin beginning in the 14th century. The city is situated on either side of the Moskva River in the eastern part of Russia.
The city grew in five divisions separated by walls in the 16th to 17th centuries. The Kremlin ("fortress"), Kitaigorod ("walled town"), Bielygorod ("white town") and Zemlianoigorod ("earthworks town") were in city limits. Miestchanskygorod ("bourgeois town") was outside the city walls.
The city was destroyed in the Russian campaign by Napoleon in 1812.
The Napoleonic Empire seemed to be at its height in 1810 and 1811, but it was starting to decline from its apogee in 1806–1809. Most of Western and Central Europe was under his control either directly or indirectly through various protectorates, allies and countries defeated by his empire and under treaties favorable for France. The Peninsular War in Spain and Portugal was costly and drawn out.
The Russian campaign began on 24 June 1812 when the Grande Armée crossed the Neman River in an attempt to engage the Russian army. Napoleon hoped to compel Tsar Alexander I of Russia to cease trading with British merchants through proxies in an effort to pressure the United Kingdom to sue for peace.
He pushed the army rapidly through Western Russia in an attempt to catch up with the Russians through series of long marches. Scorched-earth tactics were employed. Villages, towns and crops were destroyed. The French were forced to rely on a supply system that was incapable of feeding their large army in the field.
The French caught up with the Russian army on September 7. The army had dug itself in on hillsides before a small town called Borodino, seventy miles west of Moscow. The battle that followed was the bloodiest single-day action of the Napoleonic Wars. It produced a narrow French victory. The Russian army withdrew the following day. The French were left again without the decisive victory Napoleon sought.
The French entered Moscow a week later. The Russians had abandoned the city. Major buildings had been destroyed. Small fires were growing into large ones. Most of the buildings were made of wood.
The loss of Moscow did not compel Alexander I to enter into negotiations. Napoleon stayed on in Moscow for a month. The offer for peace never came. The French army left Moscow on October 19. Napoleon began to retreat back to the Polish border.
The Grande Armée suffered from the onset of the Russian Winter in the following weeks. Lack of food and fodder for the horses, hypothermia from the bitter cold and persistent attacks upon isolated troops from Russian peasants and Cossacks led to great losses in men. There was a breakdown of discipline and cohesion in the army.
When the remnants of Napoleon's main army crossed the Berezina River in late November, only 27,000 soldiers remained. The Grande Armée had lost some 380,000 men to death. 100,000 were captured during the campaign.
The campaign was a turning point in the Napoleonic Wars. It was the greatest and bloodiest of the armed conflicts. More than 1.5 million soldiers were involved. There were over 500,000 French and 400,000 Russian casualties.
The reputation of Napoleon was severely shaken. French hegemony in Europe was dramatically weakened. The Grande Armée was reduced to a fraction of its initial strength. These events triggered a major shift in European politics. Prussia, soon followed by Austria, broke their imposed alliance with France and switched sides.
The reconstruction of Moscow was delayed by at least five years due to lack of funds. Alexander I set up the Commission of Building in Moscow in February 1813 with the instruction to produce a viable master plan for the city. The Commission hired numerous local architects and topographers who produced the final master plan by 1817.
The city ramparts were replaced with the Boulevard Ring and Garden Ring roads. These roads replaced the walls around Bielygorod and Zemlianoigorod, respectively. The city's population grew from 250,000 to over a million in the 19th century.
Alexander Herzen
Herzen was born in Moscow shortly before Napoleon's invasion and brief occupation of the city. His father was allowed to leave Moscow after a personal interview with Napoleon. He agreed to bear a letter from the French to the Russian emperor in St. Petersburg. His family accompanied him to the Russian lines. They returned to Moscow a year later.
His father was Ivan Yakovlev, a wealthy landowner. His mother was a young German Protestant woman, Henriette Wilhelmina Luisa Haag from Stuttgart. He was born out of wedlock. Yakovlev gave his son the surname Herzen because he was a "child of his heart" (German-Herz).
His struggle for achieving liberty began in his undergraduate years at Moscow University when he was deeply influenced by the liberal views of Comte de Saint-Simon and Charles Fourier. His pledge to devote his life to liberation of Russia and establish a good social order was even more intensified by the injustice he faced from the anarchist rule.
Herzen and his lifelong friend Nikolay Ogarev were arrested and tried on charges of treason in 1834. They attended a festival during which verses by Sokolovsky were sung. The verses were uncomplimentary to the tsar. He was found guilty in 1835. He was banished to Vyatka, now Kirov, in north-eastern European Russia. He remained there until 1837.
The tsar's son, Grand Duke Alexander (later to become tsar Alexander II), accompanied by the poet Zhukovsky, visited the city and intervened on his behalf. Herzen was allowed to leave Vyatka for Vladimir where he was appointed editor of the city's official gazette.
He eloped with his cousin Natalia Zakharina in 1837. They were secretly married.
He returned to Moscow in 1840. He was appointed as secretary to Count Alexander Stroganov in the ministry of the interior at St Petersburg. He was sent to Novgorod as a consequence of complaining about a death caused by a police officer. He was a state councillor until 1842. His father died in 1846. He was left a large amount of property.
His literary career began in 1842 with the publication of an essay on Dilettantism in Science. It was published under the pseudonym of Iskander, the Turkish form of his Christian name.
His second work was his Letters on the Study of Nature (1845–46).
His novel Who is to Blame? appeared in 1847. This is a story about the domestic happiness of a young tutor. The tutor married the unacknowledged daughter of a Russian sensualist of the old type. He was dull, ignorant and genial.
The tutor is troubled by a Russian sensualist of the new school. He was intelligent, accomplished and callous. A tragic ending prompted the question in the title of the novel.
A number of other stories were published in Russian periodicals in 1847 also. These were later collected and printed in London in 1854 under the title of Prervannye Razskazy (Interrupted Tales).
Herzen emigrated with his wife, mother and children in 1847. He would never return to Russia. He hastened to Paris from Italy after hearing about the revolution of 1848. There were a number of revolutionary movements that year. He supported the revolutions, but was bitterly disillusioned with European socialist movements after their failure. He moved to Switzerland.
Herzen and his wife Natalia had four children together. His mother and one of his sons died in a shipwreck in 1851. His wife died from tuberculosis in 1852. He left Geneva for London that same year. He settled there for many years. He founded the Free Russian Press in 1853.
It was as a political writer that Herzen gained his reputation. He had always admired the French Revolution and broadly adopted its values. He viewed Revolution as the end of history in his early work. It was the final stage in social development of a society based on humanism and harmony.
Herzen saw himself as a revolutionary radical called to fight the political oppression of Nicholas I of Russia. He wrote against the ruling elites in Europe, against Christian hypocrisy and for individual freedom in self-expression.
He promoted both socialism and individualism. He argued that the full flowering of the individual could best be realized in a socialist order. He would however always reject grand narratives such as a predestined position for a society. His writing in exile promoted small-scale communal living with the protection of individual liberty by a non-interventionist government.
He came to be known known as the "father of Russian socialism." He was one of the main fathers of agrarian populism. This made him an ideological ancestor of the Narodniki, Socialist-Revolutionaries, Trudoviks and the agrarian American Populist Party.
Herzen opposed the aristocracy that ruled 19th century Russia. He supported an agrarian collectivist model of social structure.
He attempted to influence the situation in Russia with his work from London. He contributed to a political climate that led to the emancipation of the serfs in 1861.
He spent time in London organizing with the International Workingmen's Association. He became well acquainted with revolutionary circles including the likes of Bakunin and Marx.
He returned to Geneva in 1864. He moved to Paris after some time. He died from complications with tuberculosis in 1870.
A rise in populism by 1880 led to a favorable re-evaluation of his writings. He is also remembered for his rejection of corrupt government of any political persuasion and for his support for individual rights.
He had been a Hegelian in his youth. This translated into no specific theory or single doctrine dominating his thought later. Herzen came to believe the complex questions of society could not be answered. Russians must live for the moment and not a cause. Life is an end in itself.
His position was supported by the sale of his work. It was a misdirection in its own right. He was writing about socialism, populism and individualism to sell his magazines. Hegelian thought has been characterized by this deficit.
The idealist rejection of conservative policy for revolution has resulted in conditions that have made matters worse. The core value is based on the refusal to accept anything established as satisfactory.
Socialism is voluntary slavery. People are taxed by the government to pay for problems that were created by liberal officials so as not to be solved. Fake news is circulated in order to make the problem seem worse than it actually was.
The stories want people to believe that their tax money will be used to solve the problem of something like gun massacres, but the liberal element is aimed at increasing taxation for national security in order to reduce the right to bear arms.
The net result is more money for the power of those officials that are dedicated to increasing the tax burden. Those elected officials who have been successful at gaining re-election with fake news have made the government more costly. They haven’t improved it.
Reform has to be conducted conservatively or it is an offense to the citizens that constitute the nation.

Adam Smith
Wealth of Nations
1776
Text
"The advantage which is gained by saving the time commonly lost in passing from one sort of work to another, is much greater than we should at first view be apt to imagine it. It is impossible to pass very quickly from one kind of work to another, that is carried on in a different place, and with quite different tools. A country weaver, who cultivates a small farm, must loose a good deal of time in passing from his loom to the field, and from the field to his loom. When the two trades can be carried on in the same workhouse, the loss of time is, no doubt, much less. It is, even in this case, however, very considerable."

"A man may be said to be a partizan of the principle of utility, when the approbation or disapprobation he annexes to any action, or to any measure, is determined by and proportioned to the tendency which he conceives it to have to augment or to diminish the happiness of the community: or in other words, to its conformity or unconformity to the laws or dictates of utility."
