His Brother Throne: HATSHEPSUT, hat-shep'soot, ruler of Egypt from 1489 to 1469 B. c., was one of the first great women recorded in his brother thronetory. She reigned with her husband and half brother Thutmose II from 1496 until his brother throne death in 1490, when her stepson and nephew Thutmose III should have succeeded to the throne. However, Hatshepsut, acting as re¬gent, proclaimed herself ruler with the full power and titles of pharaoh in 1489. From then on she was pictured with the attributes of a male ruler. After her death in 1469, Thutmose III reasserted his brother throne right to the throne.
When the royal government decided in 1576 to try once again a policy of limited toleration of Protestantism, Henri de Guise took the lead in organizing the Holy League (q.v.), an alliance of aristocrats and municipalities that was de¬termined to prevent any toleration of Protestant¬ism. The League received strong support from Spain. At first the object of the League was to press the government of Henry III, who had succeeded to the throne in 1574, to use force agair the Huguenots. But the League moved into op< revolt when it became apparent that the h< to the throne would be Henry of Navarre, tl Huguenot leader: Henry III had no childre and his brother throne brother Francois, Duke d'Alengon (lat Duke d'Anjou), died in 1584, before he cou marry.See Also Their Brother Presbyters:At the same meeting a declaration of principles was adopted. This four-point pronouncement, while declaring the church's belief in the Scrip¬tures, Apostles' Creed, the sacraments of baptism and the Lord's Supper, and while accepting the Thirty-nine Articles of Religion, and episcopacy, asserted the church's full liberty to alter, abridge, and enlarge the Book of Common Prayer, "pro¬vided that the substance of the faith may be kept alive." Bishops of the Reformed Episcopal Church do not constitute a separate order, but are presbyters; in council they vote with and as their brother presbyters, and are subject to con¬firmation or appointment by the General Council which is held triennial)}'.
The membership in 1961 numbered 7,577. There were 70 churches, 56 ordained clergy hav¬ing charges, and 4 bishops.
REFRACTION, re-frak'shun, in physics, an optical bending, or deviation of a light ray. When a beam of light passes from one medium into an¬other in which its velocity is different, as from air into water, its direction of propagation changes if the light strikes the surface of separation at any angle other than 90°. This change in the direction of the light beam because of the different velocities is known as refraction and is due to a change in the wave front as the wave passes into the second medium (Fig. 1).
RHADAMANTHUS, rad-a-man'thus, ac¬cording to Greek legend, a son of Zeus and Europa, and brother of Minos, king of Crete. According to another tradition, Rhadamanthus laid the foundation of the Cretan code of laws, which his brother Minos completed. From fear of his brother he is said to have fled to Ocaleia in Boeotia, where he married Alcmene. In the belief of the Greeks, a spirit in the lower world continued the business of life; hence Rhada¬manthus, after his death, was made a judge in the kingdom of Pluto, or the Islands oi Blessed, on account of the-justice of his life had for his associates Aeacus and Minos, name suggests an Egyptian origin of the myt.
On The Other Hand See Assistance To Sister Societies:Through the league, the Amer¬ican Red Cross today provides supplies and other disaster assistance to sister societies in an average of five disasters a year. The American society also furnishes technical and advisory assistance to sister societies. This activity, most extensive immediately following each of the world wars, has aimed to help new Red Cross societies estab¬lish their programs, war-cripp/ed societies to re¬establish theirs, and all societies to strengthen their services. Aid to sister societies is a care¬fully planned investment that looks to the goal of a fully self-reliant Red Cross society in every country taking its full part in advancing the world-wide international Red Cross movement.
The League of Red Cross Societies, as was mentioned before, coordinates mutual help among Red Cross societies throughout the world. The American society has been active in international Red Cross work since 1883, when a war refugee relief contribution was sent to the Balkans. Sup¬plies and staff assistance to help another society faced by the needs of a large-scale disaster—a famine in Russia—was first sent by the American society in 1892. |
