a voyage to plant the first colony in the Northern parts of Virginia,
___________________________________________

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

so when they landed elsewhere, Jesse de Forest, the French Calvinist, living in Leyden (Amsterdam) in 1621, petitioned the English Ambassador to The Netherlands for permission to take a group of French and Dutch Wallons/Huguenots to Virginia...

56 Walloons signed the “Round Robin” to go with him..

When that didnt work out, the Dutch allowed them to go to what would become NYC...

In 1623 they set out with at least 2 ships, the Nieuw Nederlandt which went to “New Netherland” with 30 families and the Pigeon which went to Dutch Guania in South America to drop of some families there..

The English raced them across but the Nieuw Nederlandt arrived in NYC first...

Jesse de Forest died in South America and never made it to NYC although he is credited with bringing the first European settlers...men, wonen and children to NYC...

BTW in 1850 the Canterbury Compact for 16 ships sent by the Church of England to New Zealand was based loosely on the Mayflower Compact but with a warning not to end up as they did.

When the First Four Ships (the Summer Ships) arrived in Lyttleton harbour in December 1850, there were already houses, stores, wharves, and some streets laid out for them...

The church had sent carpenters and engineers on ahead to build a town...

It worked...

The first major city, Christchurch, was a success from the start...

Even if my “labourer” family did have to live in a tent in Hagley Park for the first few weeks...

They too succeeded with the first hotel and ferry on the Rakaia River...

Interesting how you tie all that Huguenaut data you’ve been collect together with the History of New Zealand. As a Kiwi, you were probably taught more History og your country than American kids get on American History nowadays.

The

DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS

OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS

SECTION 71

Revelation given to Joseph Smith the Prophet and Sidney Rigdon, at Hiram, Ohio, December 1, 1831. HC 1: 238–239. The Prophet had continued to translate the Bible with Sidney Rigdon as his scribe until this revelation was received, at which time it was temporarily laid aside so as to enable them to fulfill the instruction given herein. The brethren were to go forth to preach in order to allay the unfriendly feelings that had developed against the Church as a result of the publication of some newspaper articles by Ezra Booth, who had apostatized.

1–4, Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon are sent forth to proclaim the gospel; 5–11, Enemies of the saints shall be confounded.

1 Behold, thus saith the Lord unto you my servants Joseph Smith, Jun., and Sidney Rigdon, that the time has verily come that it is necessary and expedient in me that you should open your mouths in proclaiming my gospel, the things of the kingdom, expounding the mysteries thereof out of the scriptures, according to that portion of Spirit and power which shall be given unto you, even as I will.

2 Verily I say unto you, proclaim unto the world in the regions round about, and in the church also, for the space of a season, even until it shall be made known unto you.

3 Verily this is a mission for a season, which I give unto you.

4 Wherefore, labor ye in my vineyard. Call upon the inhabitants of the earth, and bear record, and prepare the way for the commandments and revelations which are to come.

5 Now, behold this is wisdom; whoso readeth, let him understand and receive also;

6 For unto him that receiveth it shall be given more abundantly, even power.

7 Wherefore, confound your enemies; call upon them to meet you both in public and in private; and inasmuch as ye are faithful their shame shall be made manifest.

8 Wherefore, let them bring forth their strong reasons against the Lord.

9 Verily, thus saith the Lord unto you—there is no weapon that is formed against you shall prosper;

10 And if any man lift his voice against you he shall be confounded in mine own due time.

11 Wherefore, keep my commandments; they are true and faithful. Even so. Amen.

I just LOVE history!

One learns the most interesting things!

I especially like hearing about folks who were the leaders - the explorers - to do something.

It must have been something like The Final Frontier - going where no man had gone before!

Did you import dirt to place in those nicely constructed boxes?

Got some mighty fine looking plants there!

At least you have no worries from the neighbors 60 acres fields of corn or soybeans; when the agricultural spraying drifts over onto your plants.

We have a compost pile that gets filled with leaves and all the lawn clippings. I amend it with sandstone sand and a small bit of bentonite. Then I dig to the bottom of the pit and turn it over regularly with my trusty Kubota bucket.

The boxes are 2x10’s from the Roundy lumber mill in Glendale.

During the high temps in the last two weeks we have had to water almost every day. Last night we added fresh green onions to a Binger green salad. Success at last!

THE
DOCTRINE AND COVENANTS
OF THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS
SECTION 89
 
Revelation given through Joseph Smith the Prophet, at Kirtland, Ohio, February 27, 1833. HC 1: 327–329. As a consequence of the early brethren using tobacco in their meetings, the Prophet was led to ponder upon the matter; consequently he inquired of the Lord concerning it. This revelation, known as the Word of Wisdom, was the result. The first three verses were originally written as an inspired introduction and description by the Prophet.
 
1–9, Use of wine, strong drinks, tobacco, and hot drinks proscribed; 10–17, Herbs, fruits, flesh, and grain are ordained for the use of man and of animals; 18–21, Obedience to gospel law, including the Word of Wisdom, brings temporal and spiritual blessings.
 
  1 A aWord OF Wisdom, for the benefit of the council of high priests, assembled in Kirtland, and the church, and also the saints in Zion—
  2 To be sent greeting; not by commandment or constraint, but by revelation and the aword of wisdom, showing forth the order and bwill of God in the temporal salvation of all saints in the last days—
  3 Given for a principle with apromise, adapted to the capacity of the bweak and the weakest of all csaints, who are or can be called saints.
  4 Behold, verily, thus saith the Lord unto you: In consequence of aevils and designs which do and will exist in the hearts of bconspiring men in the last days, I have cwarned you, and forewarn you, by giving unto you this word of wisdom by revelation—
  5 That inasmuch as any man adrinketh bwine or strong drink among you, behold it is not good, neither meet in the sight of your Father, only in assembling yourselves together to offer up your sacraments before him.
  6 And, behold, this should be wine, yea, apure wine of the grape of the vine, of your own make.
  7 And, again, astrong drinks are not for the belly, but for the washing of your bodies.
  8 And again, tobacco is not for the abody, neither for the belly, and is not good for man, but is an herb for bruises and all sick cattle, to be used with judgment and skill.
  9 And again, hot drinks are not for the body or belly.
  10 And again, verily I say unto you, all wholesome aherbs God hath ordained for the constitution, nature, and use of man—
  11 Every herb in the season thereof, and every fruit in the season thereof; all these to be used with aprudence and bthanksgiving.
  12 Yea, aflesh also of bbeasts and of the fowls of the air, I, the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used csparingly;
  13 And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be aused, only in times of winter, or of cold, or bfamine.
  14 All agrain is ordained for the use of man and of beasts, to be the staff of life, not only for man but for the beasts of the field, and the fowls of heaven, and all wild animals that run or creep on the earth;
  15 And athese hath God made for the use of man only in times of famine and excess of hunger.
  16 All grain is good for the afood of man; as also the bfruit of the vine; that which yieldeth fruit, whether in the ground or above the ground—
  17 Nevertheless, wheat for man, and corn for the ox, and oats for the horse, and rye for the fowls and for swine, and for all beasts of the field, and barley for all useful animals, and for mild drinks, as also other grain.
  18 And all saints who remember to keep and do these sayings, walking in obedience to the commandments, ashall receive bhealth in their navel and marrow to their bones;
  19 And shall afind bwisdom and great ctreasures of dknowledge, even hidden treasures;
  20 And shall arun and not be bweary, and shall walk and not faint.
  21 And I, the Lord, give unto them a promise, that the adestroying angel shall bpass by them, as the children of Israel, and not slay them. Amen.

So if I form a new slot quickly with JB Weld into the damaged dial shown here using the peg shown below it will hold? Would I need to super glue the damaged dial? This is Wolf range top.

If the slot has not broken into two parts you can take JB Weld and 'paint' the entire outer surface of the slot cylinder then wrap it with a twist-tie until 24 hours when the Weld will be solid. Remove the excess twist-tie and slide it onto the post. I wouldn't reccommend gluing the dial to the metal post. You don't need to do that. The JB Weld will make an O-ring style clamp on the cylinder.

You can use a very thng strip of metal to 'fill out' the inner core of the cylinder if the inside is worn down and the fit is loose ont he post. Or you can wrap a layer of tinfoil on the post and push the cylinder down onto the post after the Weld has dried good ... allow 24 hours before using the glued piece.

If the cylinder has broken into two or more pieces, glue the pieces back with a touch of super glue on the separation surfaces, wrap the cylinder with a twist-tie, onece around, until it is solidly glued, then do the JB Weld wrap of the outside of the cylinder but you don't need to use the twist-tie for holding while setting.
