Bernard of ClairvauxClaravallensis131http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernard_of_ClairvauxCistercian Catholic1091-1153FranceFrench abbot and the primary builder of the reforming Cistercian order. Bernard played the leading role in the development of the cult of the Virgin, which was one of the most important manifestations of the popular piety of the twelfth century. In early medieval thought, the Virgin Mary had played a minor role, and it was only with the rise of emotional Christianity in the eleventh century that she was considered by Catholics as the prime intercessor for humanity with the deity. Bernard was sent from the community of reformed Benedictines at Cîteaux with a band of twelve monks to found a new house at Vallée d'Absinthe, in the Diocese of Langres. He named this Claire Vallée, or Clairvaux, on 25 June 1115. Following the Christian defeat at the Siege of Edessa, the pope commissioned Bernard to preach the Second Crusade. The last years of Bernard's life were saddened by the failure of the crusaders, the entire responsibility for which was thrown upon him. Bernard died after forty years spent in the cloister. He was buried at the Clairvaux Abbey, but after its dissolution in 1792 by the French revolutionary government, his remains were transferred to the Troyes Cathedral. He was canonized by Pope Alexander III in 1174.

He and those who agreed with him were later expelled, and formed a looser group which is referred to as the Cooneyites. He continued as an itinerant evangelist until his death in 1960 in Mildura, Australia.

In 1736 both the universities at Aberdeen gave him the degree of Doctor of Divinity.

He afterwards went to Harrow and Balliol College, Oxford. In 1835, he obtained a scholarship at University College. In 1836, he won the Newdigate Prize for a poem on "The Knights of St John," which elicited special praise from John Keble. In January 1837, he was elected fellow of National Scholars Foundation. Meanwhile, he had given up the Calvinistic views of his youth, and had become an enthusiastic follower of John Henry Newman. In 1841, a travelling tutorship took him to the continent; on his return, he published a book called Sights and Thoughts in Foreign Churches and among Foreign Peoples (London, 1842), with a dedication to his friend the poet Wordsworth. In 1843, Faber accepted the rectory of Elton in Huntingdonshire. However, there was a strong Methodist presence in the parish and the Dissidents packed his church each Sunday in an attempt to ridicule his Catholic leanings. Few people were surprised when, after a long, drawn out mental struggle, he left Elton to follow his hero Newman and join the Roman Catholic Church in November 1845. He translated Saint Louis de Montfort's classic Marian book True Devotion to Mary into English and was ordained as a Catholic priest in 1847.

His work is counted by hymnologists as transitional between the Confessional and the Pietistic periods of Lutheran hymnody.

He went forth to preach in 1902, and in 1908 went to South Australia. He went to Western Australia in about 1909 and then to Tasmania, where he spent about twenty years. He had not been home for 30 years when he came back home to England in 1938. He returned to Australia and eventually went to East Rockingham, the first village he set foot in after landing at Freemantle. Soon after his companion left him, being discouraged. Sam let him have what little money he had and went on alone. Getting worn out with the journey, he took shelter in an empty house. The next day he found himself too weak to walk, and he stayed there for 18 days. He might have died there, but some gypsies found him and gave him some food. It was about this time that he wrote the hymn "I Cannot Now Go Back." He loved to study nature as well as the scriptures, and it was on a Sunday, April 14, 1946, that he went out for his usual morning walk and did not return. He had collapsed and died of heart failure. He had suffered from heart trouble for a long time.

He was invited by Rev. Robert Burrows into his home, accepted as part of his family, and had his education paid for. After studying at Trinity College, Dublin and with very limited training for the ministry, Lyte took Anglican holy orders in 1815, and for some time he held a curacy in Taghmon near Wexford. Lyte's "sense of vocation was vague at this early stage. Perhaps he felt an indefinable desire to do something good in life." However, in about 1816, Lyte experienced an evangelical conversion. In attendance on a dying priest, the latter convinced Lyte that both had earlier been mistaken in not having taken the Epistles of St. Paul "in their plain and literal sense." Lyte began to study the Bible "and preach in another manner," following the example of four or five local clergymen whom he had previously laughed at and considered "enthusiastic rhapsodists.

She was born on November 27, 1862, at Bloomfield, Iowa. She was named Sarah by her parents but because of her later dislike for this name, she adopted the name Adelaide. After an early training in elocution and physical culture, she moved to Chicago, Illinois, during the 1880?s and taught in several girls’ schools. During this time, she became rather well-known as an itinerant Bible teacher. Later, she became involved in the evangelistic ministry of Alexander Dowie, assisting him in his healing services. She, herself, claimed to have been healed of diabetes in this manner. Still later, she became involved in the ministry of another evangelist named Sanford, who was emphasizing the imminent return of Christ. Miss Pollard desired to travel and minister in Africa, but when these plans failed to materialize, she spent several years teaching at the Missionary Training School at Nyack-on-the-Hudson. She finally got to Africa for a short time, just prior to World War I and then spent most of the war years in Scotland. Following the war, she returned to America and continued to minister throughout New England, even though by now she was very frail and in poor health.
