These notes are based on a one-quarter course given at the Department of Biophysics and Theoretical Biology of the University of Chicago in 1916. The course was directed to graduate students in the Division of Biological Sciences with interests in population biology and neurobiology. Only a slight acquaintance with probability and differential equations is required of the reader. Exercises are interwoven with the text to encourage the reader to play a more active role and thus facilitate his digestion of the material. One aim of these notes is to provide a heuristic approach, using as little mathematics as possible, to certain aspects of the theory of stochastic processes that are being increasingly employed in some of the population biol ogy and neurobiology literature. While the subject may be classical, the nov elty here lies in the approach and point of view, particularly in the applica tions such as the approach to the neuronal firing problem and its related dif fusion approximations. It is a pleasure to thank Professors Richard C. Lewontin and Arnold J.F. Siegert for their interest and support, and Mrs. Angell Pasley for her excellent and careful typing. I . PRELIMINARIES 1. Terminology and Examples Consider an experiment specified by: a) the experiment's outcomes, ~, forming the space S; b) certain subsets of S (called events) and by the probabilities of these events.

"MAKE ME AN INSTRUMENT OF CARE" is written with the understanding that as things seldom remain the same for very long and all men have the same range of experiences that everyone experiences the loss of someone emotionally significant to them from time to time. As loss significantly changes the meaning of life and throws all areas of life out of balance, readers of this book are challenged to: Consider that God may be calling them into His service in the role of caregiver Create a vision of themselves as caregivers Give form and substance to that vision by familiarizing themselves with concepts of loss and grieving, and as the vocation of caregiver is a calling to a high level of involvement in the lives of people, to become inwardly confident and secure in who they are by developing an image of themselves they can esteem and present effectively in situations of loss, and, finally, to Dedicate themselves to building the kind of relationships with those who experience loss that will persuade them that they are not alone as they walk through one of life's Valleys of Dark Shadows.

It was at Caesarea Philippi that Jesus declared His intention to build His Church. While the word translated "Church" in the New Testament is "ecclesia," and in the mind of most people Church is a place, what Jesus had in mind to build was an assembly or gathering of people whom He would call out of the world to be His disciples and citizens of the Kingdom of God. As ecclesia is never used to refer to a place, the purpose of this book is to explore the difference Church understood as a place and Church understood as a gathering of men and women called out of the world has for the life and worship of people. The difference is that in the one instance worship is understood as going to a place, whereas, in the other it is gathering with others who like one's self have been called out of the world to be disciples and citizens of the Kingdom of God.

Written for individuals interested in discovering how followers of Christ went about working out what it meant to be the Church, presented an effective witness in times of persecution and possible martyrdom, and integrated into their fellowship individuals who brought with them customs and traditions different from what Jesus had taught.

Described as earthen by its chief architect and champion, the church is an assembly of followers of Christ drawn from all walks and stations in life.

Paul contended that, as it was God's purpose to unify all Creation in Christ, that the Church and followers of Christ had special functions and responsibilities in that task.

The Church was to function as the storehouse of the Gospel and its people God's primary instrument for spreading the Gospel.

"The Life and Work of Messiah" is written for individuals interested in acquiring a spiritual, psychological, and relational understanding of Messiah. It traces the concept of Messiah from its beginnings in prophecy through His coming in the person of Jesus of Nazareth to dwell among men.

It surveys the events of baptism and temptation as preparation for His public ministry and the calling of twelve ordinary men to be His disciples.

Special attention is given to the things Jesus does to establish Himself as Messiah in the minds of the people, such things as creating food to feed the hungry, healing the infirm, giving sight to the blind, delivering those possessed of unclean spirits, and raising the dead.

Written for followers of Christ who desire the blessings Jesus promised all who acquire the traits and characteristics He identified in the Beatitudes, Come Teach Your Lambs asks the question, What lessons must followers of Christ learn to live the abundant life in times of political, economic, and spiritual upheaval? To be blessed, followers of Christ must detach from the world and all the world values and place their trust in God; be sorrowful for the misfortune life visits upon their neighbors and sorrowful for their own sins as well; acquire strength of character manifested in self-mastery and self-control; hunger and thirst to be filled with for all the good things of God; show mercy and compassion to neighbors who circumstances are difficult and whose situations are unfortunate; strive to be pure in all areas of life; work for peace in their own lives and the lives of others; and accept as a compliment the trouble which the world visits upon followers of Christ whose lives are like that of Christ.

"Caesarea to Jerusalem, Journey to the Cross" documents the life and ministry of Jesus from the moment He is identified by Peter as the Christ at Caesarea Philippi until He enters the city of Jerusalem.

This book uniquely puts into perspective things Jesus does in preparation for giving up His life, things which on the surface appear to have no connection.

Among these is the bestowing of His peace upon the disciples, the appropriation of a colt upon which to enter Jerusalem, sharing of a final meal with the disciples, a session of prayer so intense that He sweats drops of blood, and the performance of things the people believe only God or someone sent from God could do, such as give sight to the blind, heal the lame, raise the dead, and tell people things about their lives that He would have no way of knowing unless He is who He says He is.Messiah.

"When Loss Changes Life" is written for individuals who experience loss. It differs from other books on the subject of caring as it affirms our need for people, and as things seldom remain the same for very long and everyone has the same range of experience that everyone can anticipate ties to emotionally significant persons to be severed in an experience of loss.

Those who respond to God's call are challenged to create a vision of what it means to care, fashion a self-image through which to implement that vision, become acquainted with concepts of loss and grieving, and by sharing presence with those who experience loss infuse them with strength, courage, and support needed to make a new beginning.

Those whose ties to emotionally significant persons are severed are challenged to grieve their loss thoroughly and completely, choose a positive attitude toward life, and refuse to place roadblocks in their path to adjustment and the restoration of balance to life.

The Church is challenged to maintain God's ideal for marriage, enlarge its understanding of family, and prepare those who experience loss to enter marriage again if they choose to do so.

Apart from the "Lord's Prayer" and the "Serenity Prayer," the "Prayer of St. Francis" is, perhaps, the most recognized and appreciated prayer in all of religious literature. Dedicated to individuals of all races, religions, and cultures who hear and respond to the voice of God calling them to be instruments of His peace, this book by speaker, counselor and author Dr. Charles E. Smith brings to life the timeless teachings of St. Francis as practical solutions for today's troubled times. Dr. Smith holds a Doctor of Ministry in family studies and is a licensed Marriage, Family and Child Counselor. His seminars and books on topics ranging from self-esteem to grief have brought comfort and inspiration to people across the nation.

Come Teach Your Lambs asks the question, "What lessons must shepherds teach human sheep if they are to live the kind of life Jesus came to bring?"
It answers this question by taking the main thrust or emphasis of each Beatitude as a "lesson" to be learned if one is to live the abundant life.
