The Oldest and the Newest Empire, China and the United States by William Speer. This book is a reproduction of the original book published in 1870 and may have some imperfections such as marks or hand-written notes.

Rippling through the passage of time are the memories of cadets who attended Pennsylvania Military College. This tome is an amalgamation of the eclectic experiences of those who wandered through the quadrangle and wondered what they were doing in their classes. As the years passed, these recollections evolved with the impact of life's experiences. We are thankful to our classmates who took the time to memorialize their reminiscences in order that others may enjoy them.These writers contributed to an effort that may be likened to the famed Chicken Soup for the Soul. However, this work may be remembered as Chicken Soup for the Cadet.Finally, as the days of Pennsylvania Military College become more distant, it is our desire that this book will serve as a reminder and celebration of those times we had, some comical, some moving. Join us in a walk-through history at the place we called home for four years of our lives. - James VanSciver

God's Rule for Christian Giving: A Practical Essay on the Science of Christian Economy by William Speer is a book that explores the concept of Christian giving and how it should be practiced. The author argues that giving should not be seen as a burden or a duty, but rather as a joy and a privilege. He explains that God has given us everything we have and that we should be grateful for it. Therefore, we should give generously and cheerfully to others, especially to those in need.The book is divided into several chapters, each focusing on a different aspect of Christian giving. The first chapter discusses the biblical basis for giving and the importance of giving to God. The second chapter explores the different types of giving, such as tithing, offerings, and charitable donations. The third chapter looks at the benefits of giving, both for the giver and the recipient.One of the key themes of the book is the idea that giving should be done with a spirit of love and generosity. The author emphasizes that giving should not be done out of obligation or guilt, but rather out of a desire to help others and to honor God. He also provides practical advice on how to give wisely and effectively, such as setting a budget for giving and researching charities before donating.Overall, God's Rule for Christian Giving is a thought-provoking and inspiring book that encourages readers to embrace the joy of giving and to use their resources to make a positive impact in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
