01.2015 Puritanism in A model of Christian Charity A modell of Christian charity, also known as A City on a Hill, is the kind of Puritan literature example that can fade the suspicious reader’s doubts in the Puritan main ideology and beliefs. At least, this is how it seemed to me. This sermon can be seen as a gateway to the Puritan society’s attitude and mindset as it is one of the most classical examples of the Puritan era literature. Although John Winthrop was the leader of the Massachusetts Bay Colony which was filled with corrupted chiefs, he vigorously emphasizes in his writings the unity of community, love of others and morals of equality. This sermon also represents the hope of the colony in God after repudiating the Church of England. In his sermon A modell of Christian charity, reliance to the Bible is the key element which reveals in the interpretation of God itself and morals of the Bible. He begins by offering

Selles piirkonnas asub ka palju teisi tuntuid vulkaane, näiteks St. Helens. Mount Rainieri oli esmalt tuntud põlisameeriklastele kui Talol, Tahoma või Tacoma, mis tähendas kohalike indiaanihõimude keeles "vete ema". Esimese eurooplasena nägi seda mäge 1792. aastal kapten George Vancouver, kes pani oma sõbra Kontradmiral Petere Rainieri järgi mäele nimeks Mount Rainier. Kuigi "Rainieri" on peetud mäe ametlikuks nimeks, siis Theodore Winthrop avaldas 1862. aastal oma reisraamatu "The Canoe and the Saddle" ("Kanuu ja sadul"), kus mäe puhul kasutati nime "Tacoma" ning pärast seda olid mõlemad nimed kasutusel. Tacoma linnas oli eelistatud mäe nimena "Mount Tacoma". 1890. aastal Ameerika Ühendriikide Geograafiliste nimede nõukogu kuulutas mäe ametlikuks nimeks siiski Mount Rainer. Mount Rainieri näol on tegu aktiivse vulkaaniga. Viimati oli kõige suurem aktiivsus vulkaanil 1820-1854.

“Look at the thousands of people visiting the institution,” she said, “and the hotel couldn’t be profitable to continue to serve the people. What do you think would happen to a Convention Centre purely built and maintained by Blacks?” she argued. It is the same inferiority complex, I had talked about earlier. I was totally flabbergasted a few years ago, when I learnt that a high school in our city was holding its prom in Winthrop, a purely Caucasian town with hardly any Blacks living there, and it is more than 80 miles away from the city. First, I could not believe the children who chose the site nor the official who approved the venue. This is the scenario here. The parents of these children had to rent the tuxes and spend a lot of money making the dresses for the girls. Then they had to rent limousines for almost 12 hours when you take into consideration the travel and waiting time. Then they had to worry about
