The name of Francis Asbury "is memorialized by Asbury College, Asbury Theological Seminaries in Orlando, Fla., and Wilmore, and what is now called DePauw University in Greencastle, Ind., and even the town of Asbury Park, N.J.," notes Maine's Lewiston Sun Journal. The newspaper offers a story on a new historical novel, Midnight Rider for the Morningstar by Mark Alan Leslie, which tells the story of Asbury, "a preacher who became more recognized than George Washington, Thomas Jefferson or any other contemporary."

"The boisterous sound of American jazz echoed among the ancient pyramids at Giza this past February," notes the accompanying caption.
