See also:BENSON, See also:FRANK See also:WESTON (1862— ) , See also:American painter, was See also:born in See also:Salem, See also:Massachusetts, on the 24th of See also:March 1862. He was a See also:- PUPIL (Lat. pupillus, orphan, minor, dim. of pupus, boy, allied to puer, from root pm- or peu-, to beget, cf. "pupa," Lat. for " doll," the name given to the stage intervening between the larval and imaginal stages in certain insects)
pupil of See also:Boulanger and of See also:Lefebvre in See also:Paris; won many distinctions in American exhibitions, and a See also:silver See also:medal at the Paris See also:Exhibition of 'goo; and became a member of
"See also:Jerusalem bishopric, the healing of the See also:Colenso See also:schism in the See also:diocese of See also:Natal, the organization of native ministries and the like, occupied much of his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time; and he did all in his See also:power to See also:foster the growth of See also:local churches. But it was the See also:work at See also:home which occupied most of his energies. That he in no way slighted diocesan work had been shown at See also:Truro. He complained now that the bishops were " bishops of their dioceses but not bishops of See also:England," and did all he could to make the See also:- CHURCH
- CHURCH (according to most authorities derived from the Gr. Kvpcaxov [&wµa], " the Lord's [house]," and common to many Teutonic, Slavonic and other languages under various forms—Scottish kirk, Ger. Kirche, Swed. kirka, Dan. kirke, Russ. tserkov, Buig. cerk
- CHURCH, FREDERICK EDWIN (1826-1900)
- CHURCH, GEORGE EARL (1835–1910)
- CHURCH, RICHARD WILLIAM (1815–189o)
- CHURCH, SIR RICHARD (1784–1873)
Church a greater religious force in See also:English See also:life. He sat on the ecclesiastical courts See also:commission (1881—1883) and the sweating commission (1888—189o). He brought bills into See also:parliament to reform Church patronage and Church discipline, and worked unremittingly for years in their behalf. The latter became See also:law in 1892, and the former was merged in the Benefices See also:Bill, which passed in 1898, after his See also:death. He wrote and spoke vigorously against Welsh disestablishment (1893); and in the following See also:year, under his guidance, the existing agencies for Church See also:defence were consolidated. He was largely instrumental in the inauguration of the See also:House of Laymen in the See also:province of See also:Canterbury (1886) ; he made diligent inquiries as to the See also:internal See also:- ORDER
- ORDER (through Fr. ordre, for earlier ordene, from Lat. ordo, ordinis, rank, service, arrangement; the ultimate source is generally taken to be the root seen in Lat. oriri, rise, arise, begin; cf. " origin ")
- ORDER, HOLY
order of the See also:sisterhoods of which he was visitor; from 1884 onwards he gave See also:regular See also:Bible readings for ladies in See also:Lambeth See also:Palace See also:chapel. But the most important ecclesiastical event of his primacy was the See also:judgment in the See also:case of the See also:bishop of See also:Lincoln (see LINCOLN JUDGMENT), in which the law of the See also:prayer-See also:book is investigated, as it had never been before, from the standpoint of the whole See also:history of the English Church. In 1896 the See also:archbishop went to See also:Ireland to see the working of the See also:sister Church. He was received with See also:enthusiasm, but the work which his tour entailed' over-fatigued him. On See also:Sunday See also:morning the rlth of See also:October, just after his return, whilst on a visit to Mr See also:Gladstone, he died in See also:Hawarden See also:parish church of See also:heart failure.
Archbishop Benson See also:left numerous writings, including a valuable See also:essay on The See also:Cathedral (See also:London, 1878), and various charges and volumes of sermons and addresses. But his two See also:chief See also:works, posthumously published, are his See also:Cyprian (London, 1897), a work of See also:great learning, which had occupied him at intervals since See also:early manhood; and The See also:Apocalypse, an See also:Introductory Study (London, 1900), interesting and beautiful, but limited by the fact that the method of study is that of a See also:Greek See also:play, not of a See also:Hebrew apocalypse. The archbishop's knowledge of the past was both wide and See also:minute, but it was that of an See also:antiquary rather than of a historian. " I think," writes his son, " he was more interested in See also:modern movements for their resemblance to See also:ancient than See also:vice versa." His sermons are very See also:noble though written in a See also:style which is over-compressed and often obscure. He wrote some See also:good See also:hymns, including " O Throned, 0 Crowned " and a beautiful version of Urbs Beata. His " grandeur in social See also:function " was unequalled and his interests were very wide. But above all else he was a great ecclesiastic. He paid less See also:attention to See also:secular politics than Archbishop See also:Tait; but if a See also:man is to be judged by the effect of his work, it is Benson and not Tait who should be described as a great statesman. His See also:biography, by his son, reveals him as a man of devout and See also:holy life, impulsive indeed and masterful, but one who learned self-See also:restraint by strenuous endeavour.
His eldest son, See also:ARTHUR See also:CHRISTOPHER BENSON (b. 1862), was educated at See also:Eton and See also:- KING
