Horti restituet
The garden has been destroyed.
Re-construction must be employed.
Let the light from the sun shine.
Let the rain provide for that which is mine.
Beauty will be restored with cultivation mined.
The destruction was motivation's fine.
Knowledge about the garden
was taken from anguish so the heart would not harden.
The land had been prepared for growth
with the use of what was known.
Fertility nurtures her success.
The heavens declare warmth with wetness;
The heat of light is relieved with darkness.
Enslavement was cast out as a test.
Invasion and terrorism are next.
One day tells its tale to another.
Each night imparts knowledge to uncover.
I like the dark. I'm a poetry lover.
Dreams dance for the conscience to discover.
I dread the extent of improbability,
but there are problems with the liability
of empirically tried hostility.
There is also the issue of deficient utility.
I surrender to the truth of the dream's dance
despite the lance of cruelty's stance.
Re-construction is a game of chance.
The time has come to mention France.
It has acquired a timeless quality with respect for law.
The Roman republic had been destroyed by attack from Gaul. (390 BCE)
It was a lesson learned by those who saw.
Now France promotes the rule of law for all.
Time has no language or words with which to speak,
but the message is a unique critique of the mystique of the bleak
that we tweak for the meek. The source has gone out to the earth we seek
to fertilize with knowledge from the Ancient Greek.
The sound of music as drawn from myth
harvests the grain by the scythe of pith.
This sound has gone out to all forthwith
to celebrate the sun as a monolith.
A pavilion has been set for the sun in the deep.
Illumination rises to run a course for time to keep.
Light comes forth like a celebrity on the stage to reap
the reward of praise from the fans that weep.
The stage is set for the course to run
from the outer edge to the end of fun.
Nothing but darkness is hidden from the radiance won.
The stream of sampling gets things done.
The rule of law requires respect for rights.
No one is above the law of light.
Judgment is for liberty with judicial sight
based on reason without discrimination's blight.
France is known for constitutional reform.
The US and the UK need to consider the importance of this political norm.
The lower house has declared itself the priority
over the executive office authority.
When the impeachment of the president is worked as the assumption
society is pelted with liberal media that demands the presumption.
Due process in law requires objective investigation.
The presumption of guilt is a form of negation
that won't rule out subjective generation.
Prejudice against the executive in office
is used against those who don't condemn the person out of caution.
Justice revives the soul.
It gives wisdom to those who know
that it is needed as a goal.
It is there when we are ready to go.
I have a sacrifice by which I will be baptized.
I am on fire with distress until it has been realized.
Do not harbor false belief.
Truth will give you what you seek.
Do not abuse authority for power to speak.
Leave time to rest to rebuild the strength you need.
Honor your family for length of life.
Do not murder or contribute to strife.
Do not destroy property or your relations might.
Do not steal or bear false witness for your delight.
Do not covet property.
You desire only the novelty.
It creates social impropriety
and reduces the quality of sobriety.
The vineyard for the Lord of hosts
is the house that held Israel's oaths.
The people in the kingdom of Judah
were the pleasant planting from each hallelujah!
The Judge expected justice in practice
but saw bloodshed to increase status.
The Priest longed for righteousness with faith
but heard a cry to overthrow the authority in place.
Do not support sacrifice for invasion or genocide.
It is a larger case of homicide applied.
It increases liability beyond the size of your stride.
It is a burden cursed by the monstrous size of the lies
by which it tries to hide those who have died.
Spending on the military and supporting technology
has to be limited to defense for the surety of maturity.
Put your faith in action to show love for others.
Earn respect by honoring rights for sisters and mothers.
Direct yourself away from causing damage to avoid crime with any color.
Love your enemy. It will cover your numbers. You won't be smothered.
Hate violence and deception without brutality or contrivance.
Crisis is managed with calm conception and non-violence.
Re-direct anger from hostility to the tireless spiraling of silence.
Use quietness to produce viable speech or action rather than idleness.
The destruction of false argument with logic in the measure of reason
promotes political change without sedition in the call for treason.
See if our differences will produce a greater unity.
Investigate the largest wave in the storm for community.
The trees produce a forest with the sacred grove of opportunity.
Survivors receive their dead by resurrection.
Order is restored by the detection of recollection.
The rule of law is just when it is justly applied.
It gives joy to the heart and insight to the mind.
It makes the vine take root to produce grapes for wine.
It makes the grain that is used for bread that's fine.
Restore the garden.
Love will grow in the bargain.

Psalm 80
Qui regis Israel
King of Israel
1 Hear, O Shepherd of Israel, leading Joseph like a flock;
shine forth, you that are enthroned upon the cherubim.
2 In the presence of Ephraim, Benjamin, and Manasseh,
stir up your strength and come to help us.
3 Restore us, O God of hosts;
show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.
4 O Lord God of hosts,
how long will you be angered
despite the prayers of your people?
5 You have fed them with the bread of tears;
you have given them bowls of tears to drink.
6 You have made us the derision of our neighbors,
and our enemies laugh us to scorn.
7 Restore us, O God of hosts;
show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.
8 You have brought a vine out of Egypt;
you cast out the nations and planted it.
9 You prepared the ground for it;
it took root and filled the land.
10 The mountains were covered by its shadow
and the towering cedar trees by its boughs.
11 You stretched out its tendrils to the Sea
and its branches to the River.
12 Why have you broken down its wall,
so that all who pass by pluck off its grapes?
13 The wild boar of the forest has ravaged it,
and the beasts of the field have grazed upon it.
14 Turn now, O God of hosts, look down from heaven;
behold and tend this vine;
preserve what your right hand has planted.
15 They burn it with fire like rubbish;
at the rebuke of your countenance let them perish.
16 Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand,
the son of man you have made so strong for yourself.
17 And so will we never turn away from you;
give us life, that we may call upon your Name.
18 Restore us, O Lord God of hosts;
show the light of your countenance, and we shall be saved.

The vineyard of the LORD of hosts

William Porcher DuBose
b. 4.11.1836 Winnsboro, SC
d. 8.18.1918 Sewanee, TN
William Porcher DuBose was an American priest, author and theologian in the Episcopal Church in the United States. He served as a Professor, Chaplain and Dean of Theology at the University of the South in Sewanee after service in the Confederate States Army during the American Civil War. He had served as chaplain in his cousin's regiment.
He served as Chaplain at Fairmount College in Monteagle, Tennessee later. Monteagle is only 5 miles (8 km) from Sewanee.
Winnsboro
Winnsboro is a town in the north central part of South Carolina. The town is about 33 miles (53 km) north of Columbia. It is part of the Metropolitan statistical area.
Richard Winn from Virginia moved to what is now Fairfield County in the upland or Piedmont area of South Carolina several years before the Revolutionary War.
The Piedmont is a plateau that runs the length between the Appalachian mountains and the eastern seaboard. It stretches from New Jersey in the north to Alabama in the south.
The settlement was known as "Winnsborough" as early as 1777 since he was the major landowner. His brothers John and Minor Winn joined him there. They became the family founders for their land.
The village was laid out and chartered in 1785 upon petition of Richard and John Winn. John Vanderhorst joined in the request. The brothers Richard, John and Minor all served in the Revolutionary War. Richard became a general. He was said to have fought in more battles than any Whig in South Carolina. John gained the rank of colonel.
The area was developed for the cultivation of short-staple cotton after Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin in 1793. The device made the processing of this type of cotton profitable. It was considered too labor-intensive previously.
Short-staple cotton was widely cultivated on plantations in upland areas throughout the Deep South through an interior area that became known as the Black Belt.
The increased demand for slave labor resulted in the forced migration of more than one million African-American slaves into the area through sales in the domestic slave market. Fairfield county's population was majority black and majority slave by the time of the Civil War.
William Porcher DuBose
William Porcher DuBose was born near Winnsboro, Fairfield County, South Carolina on April 11, 1836. He was son to the former Jane Sinkler Porcher (por-shay) and her husband, Capt. Theodore Samuel DuBose (du-boys).
Both sides of his family were descended from French Huguenots. They had immigrated as religious refugees in 1686 and settled in the Midlands of South Carolina.
William grew up on the 2,500-acre (10 km2) family plantation near Winnsboro. His parents were planters and major slaveholders. They owned 204 slaves in 1860.
His great-uncle William DuBose (1788 - 1855) was also a planter and slaveholder. He was elected as South Carolina's lieutenant-governor.
W.P. was educated privately. He went to Mount Zion College, a private male academy in Winnsboro before moving to the military academy in Charleston. He entered the South Carolina Military Academy (The Citadel) in 1851 at the age of 15. He was the ranking officer as well as Assistant Professor of English by his final year in 1855.
He had a conversion experience while he was at the Citadel. He said that he was surrounded by a light with a presence that filled the room. He was possessed by an ineffable joy.
DuBose entered the University of Virginia in 1856. He graduated with a Master of Arts degree in 1859. He entered the just-opened South Carolina diocesan seminary in Camden, South Carolina later that year.
He left the seminary and enlisted with South Carolina's Holcombe Legion when the Civil War began. He accepted an appointment as its adjutant. The legion fought at the Second Battle of Manassas is 1862. He was injured twice. He was a prisoner of war before being exchanged. He was wounded again in December of that year.
Family friends and church contacts helped DuBose gain a commission as a chaplain. He was ordained a deacon at Grace Church in Camden, South Carolina in December 1863. He joined Kershaw's Brigade as its chaplain in Greeneville, Tennessee. It was led by his lawyer cousin Dudley M. DuBose.
DuBose married Anne Barnwell Peronneau of Charleston, South Carolina while on leave from the military on April 30, 1863. They had four children before her death.
He was ordained as a priest in the Episcopal Church by Bishop Thomas F. Davis in 1866. He had aligned with the Protestant Episcopal Church when his brother served as Attorney General for the Confederacy.
Fr. William served St. John's Parish, Fairfield. The parish included St. Stephen's Episcopal Church and St. John's Episcopal Church in Winnsboro. He also taught Greek at his alma mater, Mt. Zion College while there.
He was called as rector of Trinity Church in Abbeville, South Carolina in January 1868.
Vice-Chancellor Charles Todd Quintard nominated The Rev. DuBose to serve as Chaplain of the newly established University of the South and Professor of the School of Moral Science in July 1871. DuBose served as Chaplain of the school from 1871-1883.
His wife Anne died in 1873. He married Louisa Yerger in 1878. She was the headmistress at Fairmount College for Young Ladies in Monteagle, Tennessee.
He helped to establish the Theological Department at the university. The department would later be known as the School of Theology at the University of the South. He was a professor in the Theological Department from 1877-1893.
He was also elected Dean of the Theological Department. He served in that position from 1894 until retiring in 1908. He has been described as possibly the "greatest theologian that the Episcopal Church in the USA has produced."
He was fluent in Greek. He was well-read both in Greek philosophy and the early Christian fathers. Two of the best known among his numerous books are The Soteriology of the New Testament and The Gospel in the Gospels.
Soter is the Greek word for "Savior." Soteriology is the branch of theology that deals with such questions as, "What does it mean to say that Christ saves us?" "How does his death and resurrection do us any good?" "How are the benefits of Christ's work applied to the individual?" and so on.
Dr. DuBose lived at Fairmount College and cared for the religious needs of the school and of the townspeople upon his retirement from the faculty of the University. He rode on horseback to Gruetli. It was a distance of some twenty miles twice a month.
He made the trip to perform services for the Swiss inhabitants in the area. One Sunday he would conduct the service in German and the next Sunday he would do the same in French.
It was during this period of his life at Fairmount that Dr. DuBose wrote some of his greatest literature. He wrote High Priesthood and Sacrifice, The Reason of Life and Turning Points in My Life from his study in Monteagle after his retirement in 1908. He remained at the School until his death.
DuBose died in Sewanee, Tennessee in 1918. He was buried in the cemetery of The University of the South.
-----------------------
The supremacy of Christ not only included opposition to captivity for slavery. The rejection of rebellion was included by Jesus as well.
Monarchy was overthrown by republic by the association of slavery with serfdom as equivalents. The distinction between the two is subtle but important. Slaves were regarded as property. Serfs were treated as part of the management of the property. Serfs in British society have had upward mobility. Such was probably the case in other societies as well, but it was denied in order to support revolutionary overthrow of the monarchical government.
Supremacy has a bad connotation in the Protestant world due to the claim to the same made by the papacy. When you think of supremacy of Christ as God with respect for the law, slavery is outlawed. Rebellion is deterred by invoking the right to protest and petition. Republic has moved forward with respect for this view of supremacy.
