Nutley, Cincinnati, and beyond [Part 6]

Continued from part 5

In conclusion, just as RBM III made his family history tour in 1979 across Massachusetts before he finished his book, this blog and other blogs is also a journey of sorts. Many of the individuals within the family mentioned in this book are still living, so that makes it possible to have additions to this book in new short chapters. There are varying stories which I did not include, but their non-inclusion does not mean that they are not valuable, but rather that they were not part of this history due to space constraints since the book seemed long enough already. With this history, we have come a long way from the family tree prepared by Bob in the 1979 and his Packard/Mills Family History which was a start, but this book adds more to those stories, while charting new ones for all to know.

To this day, individuals continue to cite Bob’s work on criminal justice, from the Police Executive Research Forum in 2004 to a book titled Correctional Ethics published this year, and many more. [20] The Robert B. Mills Memorial Graduate Award, awarded after his death, still continues to be awarded to this day, including to current University of Cincinnati professors (Kevin M. Beaver and Andrew J. Meyer), a professor of McKendree University (Jennifer Webster), assistant chief of the Cincinnati Police named Mike John and Captain Michael John of the Cincinnati Police, among others. The quest to know more about the Mills and Packard families goes on. This is only the beginning, building off the work that Bob did in 1979. There is more to come in the future.

Yours truly at Spring Grove Cemetery in September 2016. Behind me are the gravestones of Miriam Hirst (left) and Bob Mills (right). At that time, creating this blog and the corresponding one for the Packard family hadn’t even come to mind!

Photographs from Bob's early photo book. Above photo shows Bert, Bob, Helen, and Miriam in 1936. This was a few years after the trip to Washington, D.C.

This is reprinted from my family history of the Mills/Packard family. This tells a shortened version of the Bob Mills story in World War II sent out to relatives on June 17, 2018. Some other changes have been made to make a smoother text. This was originally published on the WordPress version of this blog in November 2018, but has been broken apart info various parts for this blog.

#firstspin of 2023 was this fascinating progressive folk album that appeared in my hand at Rough Trade last week. This is the kind of alternate universe stuff I love to find - a band you never heard of that has a whole history (including a terrible review in the 1979 Rolling Stone Record Guide 😂) and an original sound. Among the originals is a nice cover of Dylan’s John Wesley Harding. Worth tracking down!

A Praying Pulpit Begets a Praying Pew

by Edward McKendree Bounds

"I judge that my prayer is more than the devil himself; if it were otherwise, Luther would have fared differently long before this. Yet men will not see and acknowledge the great wonders or miracles God works in my behalf. If I should neglect prayer but a single day, I should lose a great deal of the fire of faith." - Martin Luther

ONLY glimpses of the great importance of prayer could the apostles get before Pentecost. But the Spirit coming and filling on Pentecost elevated prayer to its vital and all-commanding position in the gospel of Christ. The call now of prayer to every saint is the Spirit's loudest and most exigent call. Sainthood's piety is made, refined, perfected, by prayer. The gospel moves with slow and timid pace when the saints are not at their prayers early and late and long.

Where are the Christly leaders who can teach the modern saints how to pray and put them at it? Do we know we are raising up a prayerless set of saints? Where are the apostolic leaders who can put God's people to praying? Let them come to the front and do the work, and it will be the greatest work which can be done. An increase of educational facilities and a great increase of money force will be the direst curse to religion if they are not sanctified by more and better praying than we are doing. More praying will not come as a matter of course. The campaign for the twentieth or thirtieth century fund will not help our praying but hinder if we are not careful. Nothing but a specific effort from a praying leadership will avail. The chief ones must lead in the apostolic effort to radicate the vital importance and fact of prayer in the heart and life of the Church. None but praying leaders can have praying followers. Praying apostles will beget praying saints. A praying pulpit will beget praying pews. We do greatly need some body who can set the saints to this business of praying. We are not a generation of praying saints. Non-praying saints are a beggarly gang of saints who have neither the ardor nor the beauty nor the power of saints. Who will restore this breach? The greatest will he be of reformers and apostles, who can set the Church to praying.

We put it as our most sober judgment that the great need of the Church in this and all ages is men of such commanding faith, of such unsullied holiness, of such marked spiritual vigor and consuming zeal, that their prayers, faith, lives, and ministry will be of such a radical and aggressive form as to work spiritual revolutions which will form eras in individual and Church life.

We do not mean men who get up sensational stirs by novel devices, nor those who attract by a pleasing entertainment; but men who can stir things, and work revolutions by the preaching of God's Word and by the power of the Holy Ghost, revolutions which change the whole current of things.

Natural ability and educational advantages do not figure as factors in this matter; but capacity for faith, the ability to pray, the power of thorough consecration, the ability of self-littleness, an absolute losing of one's self in God's glory, and an ever-present and insatiable yearning and seeking after all the fullness of God -- men who can set the Church ablaze for God; not in a noisy, showy way, but with an intense and quiet heat that melts and moves everything for God.

God can work wonders if he can get a suitable man. Men can work wonders if they can get God to lead them. The full endowment of the spirit that turned the world upside down would be eminently useful in these latter days. Men who can stir things mightily for God, whose spiritual revolutions change the whole aspect of things, are the universal need of the Church.

The Church has never been without these men; they adorn its history; they are the standing miracles of the divinity of the Church; their example and history are an unfailing inspiration and blessing. An increase in their number and power should be our prayer.

That which has been done in spiritual matters can be done again, and be better done. This was Christ's view. He said "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father." The past has not exhausted the possibilities nor the demands for doing great things for God. The Church that is dependent on its past history for its miracles of power and grace is a fallen Church.

God wants elect men -- men out of whom self and the world have gone by a severe crucifixion, by a bankruptcy which has so totally ruined self and the world that there is neither hope nor desire of recovery; men who by this insolvency and crucifixion have turned toward God perfect hearts. Let us pray ardently that God's promise to prayer may be more than realized.
