George Bennard was a native of Youngstown, Ohio , but was reared in Iowa. After his conversion in a Salvation Army meeting, he and his wife became brigade leaders before leaving the organization for the Methodist Church. During the meetings Rev. George Bennard finished "The Old Rugged Cross" and on the last night of the meeting Bennard and Mieras performed it as a duet before a full house with Pearl Torstensen Berg, organist for the meeting, as accompanist. Gabriel , a well-known gospel-song composer helped Bennard with the harmonies. Bennard retired to Reed City, Michigan , and the town maintains a museum dedicated to his life and ministry. British television dramatist Dennis Potter used the gospel song prominently in several of his plays, most notably Pennies from Heaven ; and the song also played a major part in " Gridlock " , an episode of the long-running sci-fi drama series Doctor Who. In his art parody volume Art Afterpieces, Ward Kimball created a variation on the painting Expulsion from Paradise by the 15th-century artist Giovanni di Paolo , which shows God pointing at a large circle below him. Kimball centered the record label of The Old Rugged Cross, as published by Victor , on the circle in the picture, complete with the trademark of Nipper His Master's Voice.
And no I would not pressure them to convert but as a Latter-day Saint I would pray for them to convert as I do for many people I know and love. Break it off amicably now, before it gets too difficult. Love does a lot. When I do open up to one or two close female family member, they often tell me that their husbands are equally unavailable and I should not complaint.
For girls, being the right age for marriage usually means graduating high school, if not later. I felt her fear, everything she's said, I said. There's this fantasy perpetuated in the religion that if you're good and pure enough, that any man you meet would eventually see the truth and join the church for you. I asked, he refused. While it's true that Mormons are not one-dimensional and completely predictable, the odds of a successful relationship, given the OP's description of his girlfriend, are slim. My question is, my 30th birthday weekend is coming up and when I mentioned it to him he informed me that an old friend from college's wedding was that weekend and that he wanted to go.
