The so-called “calculator riots” of 1986 serve as a powerful reminder that today’s anxieties about artificial intelligence replacing human thinking are far from new. In April 1986, a determined group of math educators staged a vocal protest outside the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) annual convention in Washington, D.C. Led by influential textbook author John Saxon, demonstrators carried signs declaring, “The Button’s Nothin’ ’Til the Brain’s Trained.” They were opposing the NCTM’s new recommendation to incorporate electronic calculators into mathematics education at every grade level, including homework and exams. The protesters worried that reliance on calculators would erode students’ mental arithmetic skills, numerical intuition, and deep conceptual understanding, potentially creating a generation of “calcuholics” overly dependent on machines. The NCTM countered that calculators would free students from repetitive, low-level calculations, enabling them to tackle more complex problem-solving and higher-order thinking. Ultimately, the debate led to a pragmatic compromise: students would first master core mathematical concepts and mental strategies before using calculators as tools for more advanced work. This balanced approach allowed technology to enhance, rather than replace, mathematical reasoning. Today, as schools navigate the rapid rise of generative AI, the 1986 calculator compromise offers a valuable blueprint: prioritize genuine understanding first, then thoughtfully integrate powerful new tools.

In 1876 his service was evidently closing, and his last year of labor was painful. Doctors said his heart was twice the size it ought to be. “If it were the Lord’s will to raise me up again, I should like to preach from the text, ‘God so loved the world,”’ he said. He entered his rest on December 28, 1880 at the age of 40. Posted by Br TD Hale. See acts 2:38

Storyline sent by: Bro. James Owens - Dublin, Ireland The "Boy Preacher" Henry Moorhouse (1840-1880) is called “the man that moved the man that moved the millions” referring to his influence with Dwight Lyman Moody. ( DL Moody ) Henry Moorhouse, never strong at the best, showed fatigue. He set out for the United States, arriving in Philadelphia in 1868. His welcome was so hearty, and his ministry so appreciated, that he paid five visits in the following ten years. How he “moved the man who moved the world” is told by D. L. Moody himself. In 1867, Moody went to Dublin, where he met Henry Moorhouse, “the boy preacher,” who introduced himself and said he would like to come to Chicago and preach. “I looked at him. He was a beardless boy. Didn’t look as if he was more than seventeen; and I said to myself, ‘He can’t preach!’ He wanted me to let him know what boat I was going on as he would like to return with me. I thought he could not preach, and did not let him know. But I had not been in Chicago a great many weeks before I got a letter which said he had arrived in this country, and that he would come to Chicago and preach for me if I wanted him. I sat down and wrote a very cold letter: ‘If you come West, call on me.’ I thought that would be the last I should hear of him, but soon I got another letter, saying that he was still in this country and would come on if I wanted him. I wrote again, telling him if he happened to come West to drop in on me. In the course of a few days I got a letter stating that next Thursday he would be in Chicago. What to do with him I did not know. I had made up my mind he couldn’t preach. I was going to be out of town Thursday and Friday, and I told some of the officers of the church: “‘There is a man coming here Thursday who wants to preach. I don’t know whether he can or not. You had better let him try, and I will be back Saturday.’ “They said there was a good deal of interest in the church, and they did not think they should have him preach then; he was a stranger, and he might do more harm than good. “‘Well,’ I said, ‘you had better try him. Let him preach two nights.’ They finally let him preach. “When I got back Saturday morning I was anxious to know how he got on. The first thing I said to my wife when I got in the house was: ‘How is that young Irishman coming along?’ (I had met him in Dublin and took him to be an Irishman, but he happened to be an Englishman.) ‘How do the people like him? Did you like him?’ “‘Yes, very much. He has preached two sermons from John 3:16, and I think you will like him, although he preaches a little different from what you do.’ “‘How is that?’ “‘Well, he tells sinners God loves them.’ “‘Well,’ said I, ‘he is wrong.’ “She said: ‘I think you will agree with him when you hear him because he backs up everything he says with the Word of God.’ “I went down to church that night, and I noticed everyone brought his Bible.’My friends,’ began Moorhouse, ‘If you will turn to the third chapter of John and the sixteenth verse, you will find my text.’ “He preached a most extraordinary sermon from that verse. He did not divide the text into ‘Secondly’ and ‘Thirdly’ and ‘Fourthly.’ He just took it as a whole, and then went though the Bible from Genesis to Revelation to prove that in all ages God loved the world; that He sent prophets and patriarchs and holy men to warn them, and last of all sent His Son. After they murdered Him, He sent the Holy Ghost. “I never knew up to that time that God loved us so much. This heart of mine began to thaw out, and I could not keep back the tears. It was like news from a far country. I just drank it in. “The next night there was a great crowd, for the people like to hear that God loves them, and he said, ‘My friends, if you will turn in your Bible to the third chapter of John and the sixteenth verse you will find my text!’ He preached another extraordinary sermon from that wonderful verse, and he went on proving God’s love again from Genesis to Revelation. He could turn to almost any part of the Bible and prove it. I thought that sermon was better than the other one. He struck a higher chord than ever, and it was sweet to my soul to hear it. “The next night–it is pretty hard to get a crowd out in Chicago on Monday night, but they came…He said again, ‘My friends, if you will turn to the sixteenth verse of the third chapter of John you will find my text,’ and again he followed it out to prove that God loves us. He just beat it down into our hearts, and I have never doubted it since. I used to preach that God was behind the sinner with a double-edged sword, ready to hew him down. I am done with that. I preach now that God is behind the sinner with love, and he is running from the God of love. “Tuesday night came, and we thought surely he had exhausted that text and would take another, but he preached the sixth sermon from that wonderful text, ‘God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have’–not going to have when you die, but have it right here, now–everlasting life.’ Although many years have rolled away, his hearers never have forgotten it. “The seventh night came, and he went into the pulpit. Every eye was upon him. All were anxious to know what he was going to preach about. He said, ‘My friends, I have been hunting all day for a new text, but I cannot find one as good as the old one, so we will go back to the third chapter of John and the sixteenth verse,’ and he preached the seventh sermon from that wonderful text. I remember the close of that sermon. Said he: “‘My friends, for a whole week I have been trying to tell you how much God loves you, but I cannot do it with this poor stammering tongue. If I could borrow Jacob’s ladder, and climb up into heaven and ask Gabriel, who stands in the presence of the Almighty, if he could tell me how much love the Father has for the world, all he could say would be, “God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”‘” It was a revelation to Moody. “I have never forgotten those nights. I have preached a different gospel since, and I have had more power with God and man since then.” Moody had seen the inexhaustibility of Scripture. From that time he became a more diligent student of the Bible. He asked Moorhouse how to study, and invited friends to his Chicago home for “Bible readings.” This event may have connected Moody with the writings of C. H. Mackintosh, which Moody endorsed and promoted. Thereafter Moody sought out and welcomed the influence of Moorhouse’s friends. For instance, in Chief Men Among the Brethren, we read, “During D. L. Moody’s well-remembered meetings at the Opera House in London, scarcely a day passed that he did not spend an hour with F. C. Bland over the Bible.” In 1870, Henry wed a Christian woman named Mary who had often witnessed to him in his lost days. They wished for nine children. Years afterward an acquaintance asked, “How about the large family, Henry?” He replied, “My heavenly Father knew what was best for Henry. He has given me one little paralyzed girl, and she has done more to soften my heart for other poor little children… than a crowd of healthy ones could have done.” Speaking on the promise, “I will help thee; Yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of My righteousness,” he said, “I have a little child at home, seven years old, paralyzed from babyhood, who, seeing me with a parcel I wanted to take upstairs, said, ‘I will carry the parcel for you, father.’ ‘How can you carry the parcel, Minnie?’ I asked. ‘I will carry the parcel, and you will carry me!'” During the last few years of his life he preached from a mobile book store, a novel idea that Henry introduced, which caught on across Ireland, England and Australia. In two years he sold 150,000 Bibles and Testaments, giving away millions of books and tracts.
