The establishment of the Alsace-Lorraine border, 1871-1877.

« L’invention d’une frontière », Benoît Vallot, CNRS, 2023

by cartesdhistoire

German nationalist intellectuals have clearly expressed since the beginning of the 19th century. the desire to withdraw from France the territories that they believe they recognize as German, due to the Germanic culture and language of the inhabitants, but also their prior belonging to the Holy Empire. The war against France which began on July 19, 1870 was therefore seen as an opportunity for a reconquest of territories ("Zurückeroberung").

The armistice was signed on January 26, 1871. The German chancellor, fearing an intervention by the European powers in favor of France, which had managed to attract the sympathy of international public opinion, downplayed the appetites of the Prussian general staff which demands all the territories placed under the authority of the general government of Alsace and Lorraine (administration of the territories occupied by the German army) as well as 6 billion gold francs in war compensation (a tribute in fact, because this amount represents much more than what the war cost the Germans). Bismarck therefore proposed to Thiers – and not the opposite as the latter would later claim – the conservation of Belfort for France and the reduction of compensation from 6 to 5 billion, in exchange for the abandonment of Metz, as compensation. (“Schmerzensgeld”).

The delimitation of the border between France and Germany is discussed based on a “green border” drawn on the map, without the populations being consulted, because the negative outcome is in no doubt for the Germans: the February 17, the deputies of Bas-Rhin, Haut-Rhin, Moselle, Meurthe and Vosges had in fact demonstrated their irrefutable opposition to any territorial cession to Germany through an official protest.

The definitive peace treaty was signed on May 10, 1871 in Frankfurt, then the concrete demarcation of the border lasted until April 1877: 14,521 km2 and more than a million and a half people thus changed sovereignty.

My ✨ post-apocalyptic Lesbian Cowgirl Mailman choose-your-own adventure✨ has just updated! Read it here for free on my Patreon and vote in the poll! I made a summary of the first part, here, which tells you basically everything you need to know about Lou, her (newly discovered as) requited-but-complicated love, and the ill-advised journey she is on!

Uh-oh, friends, we've gotten a bit of a genre shift. I hope you were enjoying your queer western, but now it's time for a queer horror story! I'm SO excited to be posting this! I've been planning things that are happening in this update since January. Careful readers will remember that Lou loves to listen to her little Vampire radio show... let's see how she likes LIVING it.

Read it for free on my patreon, here! Voting ends at 1 EST, 7/26! (image: Head study for The Nun, c. 1870, Adelaide Claxton) excerpt under the cut!

There was a large altar to the Listening Lady against the front wall, framed by the glowing stained glass windows. The statue at its center held a dove in each hand with a string of red glass beads connecting the two of them, neck-to-neck. A second strand of beads connected the center of the first strand to the top of the Listening Lady’s left breast. In the gloom and the haze, it was difficult to see a full picture of the room, but there were niches every few feet and most were occupied by a statue or votive of the Listening Lady. Among the various Listening Lady statues, placed in its own private, heavily-decorated niche, was a yellow lucky cat figure. A thin strip of red fabric was tied around its eyes and something about that sent a drip of ice down the back of her neck. She didn’t exactly like having their watching eyes on her, but having them be purposefully blindfolded seemed like a bad omen. What didn’t they want them to see? She re-shouldered her pack and walked faster after the pale acolyte that was leading them. 

They led the two of them through a door to the right of the main altar. It was dark inside. The only light came from a huge quantity of candles lining the hall. Alma had said it had been dead silent when she was there, but the first thing Lou noticed was a low but consistent and enveloping hum she could almost feel in her back teeth. And the cold. It was cold. As cold as a morning in early spring. Lou chilled easily and her nose and fingertips immediately went painfully cold. The sweat on her lower back, armpits, and temples became clammy.

The napoleonic marshal‘s children

After seeing @josefavomjaaga’s and @northernmariette’s marshal calendar, I wanted to do a similar thing for all the marshal’s children! So I did! I hope you like it. c: I listed them in more or less chronological order but categorised them in years (especially because we don‘t know all their birthdays). At the end of this post you are going to find remarks about some of the marshals because not every child is listed! ^^“ To the question about the sources: I mostly googled it and searched their dates in Wikipedia, ahaha. Nevertheless, I also found this website. However, I would be careful with it. We are talking about history and different sources can have different dates. I am always open for corrections. Just correct me in the comments if you find or know a trustful source which would show that one or some of the dates are incorrect. At the end of the day it is harmless fun and research. :) Pre 1790

Additional remarks: - Marshal Berthier died 8.5 months before his last daughter‘s birth. - Marshal Oudinot had 11 children and the age difference between his first and last child is around 32 years. - The age difference between marshal Grouchy‘s first and last child is around 43 years. - Marshal Lefebvre had fourteen children (12 sons, 2 daughters) but I couldn‘t find anything kind of reliable about them so they are not listed above. I am aware that two sons of him were listed in the link above. Nevertheless, I was uncertain to name them in my list because I thought that his last living son died in the Russian campaign while the website writes about the possibility of another son dying in 1817. - Marshal Augerau had no children. - Marshal Brune had apparently adopted two daughters whose names are unknown. - Marshal Pérignon: I couldn‘t find anything about his daughters, Justine, Elisabeth and Adèle, except that they died in infancy. - Marshal Sérurier had no biological children but adopted Marguerite-Félécité Desprez in 1814. - Marshal Marmont had no children. - I found out that marshal Saint-Cyr married his first cousin, lol. - I didn‘t find anything about marshal Poniatowski having children. Apparently, he wasn‘t married either (thank you, @northernmariette for the correction of this fact! c:)

#Marshal‘s children calendar #literally every napoleonic marshal ahaha #napoleonic era #Napoleonic children #I am not putting all the children‘s names into the tags #Thank you no thank you! :) #YES I posted it without double checking every child so don‘t be surprised when I have to correct some stuff 😭 #napoleon's marshals #napoleonic

Lievin de Winne - Portrait of Marie of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen - ca 1870

Princess Marie Luise Karoline Alexandra of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen (17 November 1845 – 26 November 1912), later Countess of Flanders, was a princess of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen, later simply of Hohenzollern. She married Prince Philippe, Count of Flanders, second son of King Leopold I of Belgium, and she was the mother of King Albert I.

Prince Philippe of Belgium, Count of Flanders (Dutch: Filips; 24 March 1837 – 17 November 1905), was the third born and second surviving son of King Leopold I of Belgium and Louise d'Orléans.

Born at the Château de Laeken, near Brussels, Belgium, Philippe was created Count of Flanders on 14 December 1840. Upon the death of his nephew Prince Leopold, Duke of Brabant, he became heir presumptive to the Belgian throne. In 1866, after the abdication of Alexandru Ioan Cuza, Prince of Romania, Philippe refused being named the new Romanian sovereign, and the throne was later accepted by Philippe's brother-in-law Carol I.[1] Earlier, he had also refused the crown of Greece, which was offered to him in 1862.

Philippe died in 1905. When his brother King Leopold II died in 1909, Philippe's second son ascended the Belgian throne as King Albert I.

Liévin De Winne (Ghent, 24 January 1821 - Brussels, 13 May 1880) was a Belgian portrait painter who painted the official portrait of Leopold I on which the first postage stamp of Belgium was based.

The Canonical Five: Mary Ann Nichols

August 17, 2022

I’ve been not posting as much lately but I wanted to come back with a bang and do Jack the Ripper, one of my favourite true crime cases of all time. However, instead of just doing a post on the entire case I figured I’d do a deep dive into each of the victims. 

I know Jack the Ripper most likely had more victims than just these five women, however the Canonical Five has become extremely infamous in this case and each woman deserves their own post in my opinion. 

Here we go. 

Mary Ann, also known as “Polly” to friends and family, was born Mary Ann Walker on August 26, 1845 in Dean Street, Soho, London. She was the second child of Edward and Caroline Walker. 

At 18 years old Mary Ann married a man named William Nichols on January 16, 1864 at Saint Bride’s Parish Church in the City of London. The couple first lived at 30-31 Bouverie Street, but eventually moved In with Mary Ann’s father at 131 Trafalgar Street. 

The couple had five children together: Edward John (born in 1866), Percy George (born in 1868), Alice Esther (born in 1870), Eliza Sarah (born in 1877) and Henry Alfred (born in 1879). 

Shortly after their fifth child Henry was born, Mary Ann and William moved into their own home at 6 D-Block Peabody Buildings on September 6, 1880, paying a weekly rent. However, this did not last for long and the couple separated with William taking four of their children to live near Old Kent Road. 

Mary Ann’s father accused William of leaving Mary Ann due to an affair he supposedly had with the nurse who had been there when their son Henry was born, though William claimed that him and Mary Ann had kept their marriage going for at least three years after this alleged affair. William insisted that the reason for their separation was due to Mary Ann’s heavy drinking and he had only started an affair after Mary Ann had left him. William had told authorities later on that Mary Ann had left him and began practicing sex work. 

In 1881, Mary Ann was residing at Lambeth Workhouse, though she left this workhouse on May 31st. She did eventually return to the workhouse on April 24, 1882. She did move back with her father for a period of time in 1883 before moving out again following a quarrel. 

Back in these days you legally had to support your wife, despite them being separated, William Nichols would pay Mary Ann a weekly allowance of five shillings until the spring of 1882, when he found out she was working as a sex worker. William stopped making these payments due to this, and explained to the authorities that his wife had deserted him and his family, living with another man and involved in sex work. 

William was not required to pay his wife if she was earning money through sex work, so Mary Ann no longer was receiving anything from her husband. 

The money Mary Ann did make from sex work was often spent on alcohol. 

In April 1888, Mary Ann began working as a domestic servant to Mr and Mrs Cowdry in Wandsworth. However, this did not last long and she left after only working there for 3 months, stealing clothes with her when she left. She lived in a common lodging-house for a period of time before moving to 56 Flower and Dean Street in Whitechapel on August 24, 1888.

Around 11pm on August 30, 1888, Mary Ann was seen walking along Whitechapel Road. She visited the Frying Pan public house in Brick Lane, Spitalfields, leaving at 12:30am on August 31. 

By 1:20am, she had returned to her lodging-house, and within the hour she was seen by the deputy lodging house keeper who asked her to pay for her bed for the night there. Mary Ann replied she had no money and she was ordered to leave. She said she would earn money and be back to get her bed. 

The last time Mary Ann Nichols was seen alive was by a woman named Emily Holland, where she was seen walking alone down Osborn Street around 2:30am. She was notably drunk according to Emily and at one point was slumped against the wall of a grocery shop. 

Emily had tried to get Mary Ann to go back to her lodging-house, but Mary Ann refused telling her she had already earned her money for the bed three times over but had spent it each time. The two parted with Mary Ann walking towards Whitechapel Road. 

At 3:40am, a man named Charles Allen Cross found what he believed to be a tarpaulin lying on the ground in front of a gated stable entrance in Buck’s Row, Whitechapel as he was walking to his workplace. Inspecting closer, Cross discovered that it was actually the body of a woman who was laying on her back with her eyes open, her legs straight, and her skirt raised above her knees. Her left hand was touching the gate of the stable entrance. 

Another man on his way to work, Robert Paul, saw Cross standing in the road looking at the body and both men examined the body together. Cross had touched the woman’s face which was still warm, then her hands which were cold. Cross thought the woman was dead, but Paul thought she might just be unconscious. The men pulled her skirt down and went to find a policeman. Constable Jonas Mizen was sent to examine the body while the men went on their way to work. 

Before Mizen got there, another policeman, John Neil had come across the body and was using a lantern to examine. While he was doing this he got the attention of Constable John Thain who was passing the entrance to Buck’s Row, which Neil shouted, “Here’s a woman with her throat cut. Run at once for Dr Llewellyn.” 

Neil found no blood trails with his lantern, and also examined the road but found no marks of wheels.

Surgeon Dr Llewellyn arrived at Buck’s Row at 4am and found two deep knife wounds on the woman’s throat, determining her deceased. The doctor determined she had only been dead for 30 minutes upon discovery, as her body and legs were still warm. He ordered Neil to take the body to the mortuary where he could then further examine her. 

Police questioned all the tenants of Buck’s Row, including those who lived on the property closest to where the woman’s body had been discovered. Several residents claimed to be awake at that time but no one heard or saw anything. All police who had been patrolling around the area at that time also claimed to have seen nothing suspicious. 

It was discovered that both sides of the woman’s face had been bruised by either a first or the pressure of a thumb before the throat wounds had been inflicted. One of the wounds measured 8 inches in length, and the other one measured to be 4 inches. Both reached back to her vertebral column and were inflicted from left to right. 

The woman’s genitals had been stabbed twice, her abdomen mutilated with one deep, jagged wound 2 or 3 inches from the left side. Several incisions had been inflicted across the abdomen, causing her bowels to protrude through. Three or four similar cuts ran down the right side of her body. The knife used was estimated to be at least 6-8 inches long, possibly a cork-cutter or shoemaker’s knife. 

Each wound had been violent and in a downward thrusting manner. The doctor believed that whoever did this had some kind of anatomical knowledge. None of the woman’s organs were missing. 

Dr Llewellyn estimated that this would have taken the murderer 4-5 minutes to complete. He also believed the woman had been facing her attacker when he held his hand across her mouth before cutting her throat. She would have died instantly and all of her injuries were made by the murderer after she died. The doctor believed this because there was little blood. 

The woman had no identification on her at the time of her death, and the only possessions she had was a white pocket handkerchief, a comb, and a piece of mirror. Her petticoats were marked “Lambeth Workhouse P.R.” so they believed that is where she resided. The matron of the workhouse could not identify the body, a workhouse inmate named Mary Ann Monk positively identified the woman as being Mary Ann Nichols at 7:30pm on August 31. Emily Holland had also positively identified her earlier that day. 

On September 1, 1888, William Nichols corroborated this discovery as being his estranged wife, stating “I forgive you, as you are, for what you have been to me.” 

The first day of the inquest heard testimony from three witnesses. The first was Mary Ann’s father, who claimed his daughter had been separated from William Nichols for about 7 or 8 years. He also said he had not seen his daughter since Easter and she had no known enemies. 

Constable John Neil also testified, claiming the actual location of the murder was dimly lit, the closest light being a street lamp shining at the end of the row. Neil also said that Whitechapel Road was pretty busy even at the time of the discovery, so it’s possible that Mary Ann’s killer could have escaped in that direction. 

Dr Llewellyn also testified, stating that Mary Ann had 5 missing teeth, a slight laceration on her tongue, a bruise running along the lower part of her jaw on the right side of her face. This could have been caused by a blow from a fist or pressure from a thumb. He further described her injuries and stated that no blood was found on the body or clothes. The injuries may have been done by a left-handed person and all of Mary Ann’s injuries had been done by the same instrument. 

A man named Harry Tomkins testified that he had not left his place of work after 1am on August 31 and him and his colleagues did not hear anything suspicious. Tomkins said his workplace was very quiet, but said he was too far away from the crime scene to have been able to hear any cries for help. 

Inspector Joseph Helson testified that Mary Ann had not been carried to the location where her body was found, she had been killed there. 

William Nichols testified again and claimed to have not seen his wife in three years and that she had left him of her own accord because of her drinking. He stated he had no knowledge of his wife’s whereabouts in the years before her death. 

It was determined that if Mary Ann’s murderer was walking around with blood on them after the attack, it would not have looked strange as this was Whitechapel in 1888 and many slaughterhouses were around. It wasn’t strange to see someone with blood on them during this period of time. 

By the time the inquest was completed, another murder of similar nature had occurred, with a woman named Annie Chapman being murdered on September 8, 1888. Many consider her to be the second canonical five murder, and she also was found with similar bruising on her face and horrific injuries. 

Mary Ann Nichols and Annie Chapman had a lot of similarities, both involved in sex work, being estranged from their husbands, and being around the same age. Annie Chapman’s murder will be discussed in further detail in the second instalment of this series. 

A 20 minute deliberation took place, and the jury came back concluding that Mary Ann Nichols had been murdered perhaps by someone she didn’t know.

Mary Ann’s murder had occurred within 300 yards of two previous murders of two other women named Emma Smith and Martha Tabram. All of the murders had occurred within a 5 month period, but they were clearly different. What led many to believe they were committed by the same person was the geographical location, and some do believe that Emma Smith and Martha Tabram are Ripper victims, however many do not. 

A reporter named Ernest Parke suggested in the August 31 edition of The Star, that these murders were committed by a single killer. Many others began to adopt this theory as well. In the week after the inquest closed on Mary Ann Nichols, two more women were murdered in similar fashion, Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddowes. 

Any suspicions of a serial killer soon became confirmed as all of the women had been killed by a similar modus operandi, and eventually in October of 1888, the killer named himself Jack the Ripper. 

Before any of this however, there was a rumour going around that a local Jewish man named John Pizer known as “Leather Apron” who made footwear from leather may have murdered the women. He was known to carry a knife and did not like sex workers. 

There was no direct evidence against him but he was arrested on September 10, 1888. A search of his home was conducted where they found 5 long-bladed knives, however Pizer was soon released after confirmation of his alibis. He later received compensation from at least one newspaper who had named him a murderer. 

Mary Ann Nichols was buried on September 6, 1888, with her father, estranged husband and three of her children in attendance. She was buried in the City of London Cemetery. Her coffin had a brass plaque with the inscription, “Mary Ann Nichols, aged 42; died August 31, 1888.” 

Mary Ann Nichols is considered the first victim of the canonical five and many consider her the first Jack the Ripper victim. In the next part, the murder of Annie Chapman will be covered.

Silliman’s backstory timeline, because I like some context for my whaling journal perusals. I love when I’m able to confirm information about these men because I recognize their handwriting. ANYWAY:

Silliman B. Ives is born August 31st 1841 in New Haven, CT.

In 1860 he’s living with his family and working as clerk.

At the start of the American Civil War he immediately enlisted as a Private in the 1st Connecticut Infantry Regiment, April 15th 1861. Age 19.

Became 1st Lieutenant/Adjutant of the 12th CT infantry in December, 1861.

In May of 1863 he applied for a vacancy in provost marshal General James Bowen’s office, in New Orleans.

In December 1863 he was appointed Captain of the 2nd United States Colored Infantry Regiment. He then mustered out of service 29th of December, 1864.

Then he went a’whalin. May 1865 - October 1867 aboard the Vigilant. 

Then he went a’whalin again, now 26 nearing 27 (fairly old for a whaleman!), aboard the Sunbeam 1868-1871. (The 1870s Census shows him living with his parents, with the occupation of ‘seaman’).

At some point after it looks like he gets married (as his military pension is collected by a Sarah E. Andrews Ives, listed as his widow. She’s also listed as his widow in subsequent city directories. However there’s no marriage record, and curiously his death record lists him as single.

For at least the last few years of his life he’s living in Brewster MA. He dies at age 52 of heart disease in January 1894 (with his occupation listed as ‘student’, what of, I wonder!). No record of having had any children. Found his wife’s headstone but not his, where she’s listed as ‘Wife of Silliman B. IVES.’ She outlives him by about 16 years, and is buried in Hartford.

GLORIFICATION ( 1977) OF ST INNOCENT, METROPOLITAN OF MOSCOW. APOSTLE TO THE AMERICAS.

Saint Innocent, Metropolitan of Moscow, Enlightener of the Aleuts and Apostle to America (in the world John Popov-Veniaminov), was born on August 26, 1797 in the village of Anginsk in the Irkutsk diocese, into the family of a sacristan. The boy mastered his studies at an early age and by age seven, he was reading the Epistle in church. In 1806 they sent him to the Irkutsk seminary. In 1814, the new rector thought it proper to change the surnames of some of the students. John Popov received the surname Veniaminov in honor of the deceased Archbishop Benjamin of Irkutsk (+ July 8, 1814). On May 13, 1817 he was ordained deacon for the Irkutsk Annunciation church, and on May 18, 1821, he was ordained priest.

The missionary service of the future Apostle of America and Siberia began with the year 1823. Father John spent 45 years laboring for the enlightenment of the peoples of Kamchatka, the Aleutian Islands, North America, Yakutsk, the Khabarov frontier, performing his apostolic exploit in severe conditions and at great risks to life. Saint Innocent baptized ten thousand people, and built churches, beside which he founded schools and he himself taught the fundamentals of the Christian life. His knowledge of various crafts and arts aided him in his work.

Father John was a remarkable preacher. During the celebration of the Liturgy, memorial services and the all-night Vigil, he incessantly guided his flock. During his time of endless travels, Father John studied the languages, customs and habits of the peoples, among whom he preached. His work in geography, ethnography and linguistics received worldwide acclaim. He composed an alphabet and grammar for the Aleut language and translated the Catechism, the Gospel and many prayers into that language. One of the finest of his works was the Indication of the Way into the Kingdom of Heaven (1833), translated into the various languages of the peoples of Siberia and appearing in more than 40 editions. Thanks to the toil of Father John, the Yakut people in 1859 first heard the Word of God and divine services in their own native language.

On November 29, 1840, after the death of his wife, Father John was tonsured a monk with the name Innocent by Saint Philaret, the Metropolitan of Moscow, in honor of Saint Innocent of Irkutsk. On December 15, Archimandrite Innocent was consecrated Bishop of Kamchatka, the Kurile and Aleutian Islands. On April 21, 1850 Bishop Innocent was elevated to the rank of archbishop.

By the Providence of God on January 5, 1868, Saint Innocent succeeded Metropolitan Philaret on the Moscow cathedra. Through the Holy Synod, Metropolitan Innocent consolidated the secular missionary efforts of the Russian Church (already in 1839 he had proposed a project for improving the organization of missionary service).

Under the care of Metropolitan Innocent a Missionary Society was created, and the Protection monastery was reorganized for missionary work. In 1870 the Japanese Orthodox Spiritual Mission headed by Archimandrite Nicholas Kasatkin [afterwards Saint Nicholas of Japan, (February 3)] was set up, with whom Saint Innocent had shared much of his own spiritual experience. The guidance by Saint Innocent of the Moscow diocese was also fruitful, by his efforts, the church of the Protection of the Most Holy Theotokos was built up into the Moscow Spiritual Academy.

Saint Innocent fell asleep in the Lord on March 31, 1879, on Holy Saturday, and was buried at the Holy Spirit Church of the Trinity-Saint Sergius Lavra. On October 6, 1977, Saint Innocent was glorified by the Russian Orthodox Church. His memory is celebrated three times during the year: on March 31, the day of his blessed repose, on October 5 (Synaxis of the Moscow Hierarchs), and on October 6, the day of his glorification.

THE MONASTIC WOMEN XANTHIPPA AND POLYXENIA (109)

The righteous women Xanthίppē and Polyxénē were sisters by birth and lived in Spain at the time of the Holy Apostles. They were among the first to hear the divine teaching of Christ the Savior from the Holy Apostle Paul, when he preached in their land (Romans 15:28). Saint Xanthίppē and her husband Probus converted to Christianity, but before her Baptism Saint Polyxénē was abducted by a licentious man, who took her to Greece on a ship. God's grace protected her, however, and did not permit her to be defiled.

Moving around from place to place, Polyxénē heard the preaching of the Apostle Philip in Greece. After her arrival in Greece, Polyxénē turned to the Christians for protection, and they hid her in the city of Patra in Achaia. There she formally accepted Christianity and was baptized by the Holy Apostle Andrew the First-Called (November 30). Saint Polyxénē was a witness to Saint Andrew's miracles, and how patiently he endured his sufferings and death. She stood by the cross upon which they crucified him.

After Saint Andrew's martyric death, Saint Polyxénē returned to Spain, taking with her the Apostle Onḗsimos (February 15) and her traveling companion Rebecca, a Jewish slave, with whom she had been baptized. There she and her older sister Xanthίppē converted many pagans to Christ.

Saint Polyxénē labored for about forty years preaching the Gospel in Spain. Saint Xanthίppē shared in her sister’s work and preached in the populous city of Toledo.

Saint Polyxénē reposed around the year 109, having preserved her virginity until the end of her earthly life.

In Slavic usage Saints Xanthίppē and Polyxénē are commemorated on September 24.

LUKE 1:5-25

5 There was in the days of Herod, the king of Judea, a certain priest named Zacharias, of the division of Abijah. His wife was of the daughters of Aaron, and her name was Elizabeth. 6 And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the Lord blameless. 7 But they had no child, because Elizabeth was barren, and they were both well advanced in years. 8 So it was, that while he was serving as priest before God in the order of his division, 9 according to the custom of the priesthood, his lot fell to burn incense when he went into the temple of the Lord. 10 And the whole multitude of the people was praying outside at the hour of incense. 11 Then an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing on the right side of the altar of incense. 12 And when Zacharias saw him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. 13 But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zacharias, for your prayer is heard; and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you shall call his name John. 14 And you will have joy and gladness, and many will rejoice at his birth. 15 For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also be filled with the Holy Spirit, even from his mother's womb. 16 And he will turn many of the children of Israel to the Lord their God. 17 He will also go before Him in the spirit and power of Elijah, 'to turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,' and the disobedient to the wisdom of the just, to make ready a people prepared for the Lord. 18 And Zacharias said to the angel, "How shall I know this? For I am an old man, and my wife is well advanced in years." 19 And the angel answered and said to him, "I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and was sent to speak to you and bring you these glad tidings. 20 But behold, you will be mute and not able to speak until the day these things take place, because you did not believe my words which will be fulfilled in their own time. 21 And the people waited for Zacharias, and marveled that he lingered so long in the temple. 22 But when he came out, he could not speak to them; and they perceived that he had seen a vision in the temple, for he beckoned to them and remained speechless. 23 So it was, as soon as the days of his service were completed, that he departed to his own house. 24 Now after those days his wife Elizabeth conceived; and she hid herself five months, saying, 25 Thus the Lord has dealt with me, in the days when He looked on me, to take away my reproach among people.

GALATIANS 4:22-31

22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons: the one by a bondwoman, the other by a freewoman. 23 But he who was of the bondwoman was born according to the flesh, and he of the freewoman through promise, 24 which things are symbolic. For these are the two covenants: the one from Mount Sinai which gives birth to bondage, which is Hagar- 25 or this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia, and corresponds to Jerusalem which now is, and is in bondage with her children 26 but the Jerusalem above is free, which is the mother of us all. 27 For it is written: "Rejoice, O barren, You who do not bear! Break forth and shout, You who are not in labor! For the desolate has many more children Than she who has a husband." 28 Now we, brethren, as Isaac was, are children of promise. 29 But, as he who was born according to the flesh then persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, even so it is now. 30 Nevertheless what does the Scripture say? "Cast out the bondwoman and her son, for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with the son of the freewoman." 31 So then, brethren, we are not children of the bondwoman but of the free.

Huizen aan de Berkelselaan met op de achtergrond Tak van Poortvlietstraat, uit het zuidoosten gezien, 1939.

De Berkelselaan ontleent zijn naam aan het dorp Berkel, gelegen aan het spoortraject Rotterdam-Centraal - Den Haag-Centraal.

Johannes Pieter Roetert Tak van Poortvliet, heer van Poortvliet (Engelen, 21 juni 1839 – Den Haag, 26 januari 1904) was een Nederlands politicus.

Tak van Poortvliet was een lid van de familie Tak en een liberale Zeeuwse ambtenaar. Hij begon als commies-griffier van de Tweede Kamer en haalde in die functie tijdens de vergaderingen de stembriefjes op. Vanaf 1870 was hij zelf Kamerlid, en gaf onder andere de aanzet tot twee enquêtes.

Tak werd in het kabinet-Kappeyne van de Coppello minister van Waterstaat, Handel en Nijverheid. Hij ontwierp de Kanalenwet, die onder meer beoogde om Amsterdam een snelle waterverbinding te geven met de Rijn. Toen de wet in 1879 door de Tweede Kamer werd verworpen, trad de regering af.

Kort daarop keerde Tak terug in het parlement. Hij behoorde tot de vooruitstrevende liberalen en werd in februari 1880 voorman van de Kappeynianen. Van 1887 tot 1891 was hij dijkgraaf van het Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland.

In 1891 wonnen de liberalen de verkiezingen. Tak aanvaardde het ministerschap van Binnenlandse Zaken in het kabinet-Van Tienhoven op voorwaarde, dat kiesrechtuitbreiding een kabinetskwestie zou zijn. Hij ontbond in 1894 de Kamer vanwege het verzet tegen dat voorstel. De verkiezingen stonden geheel in het teken van zijn kiesrechtvoorstel. Hij was na zijn nederlaag een gebroken man, wiens rol was uitgespeeld. Hem werd weleens gebrek aan tact en plooibaarheid verweten.
