Resumption Of Growth: RESUMPTION, the return to specie payment by a government. The Resumption Act of 14 Jan. 1875 fixed 1 Jan. 1879 as the day on which specie payments should be resumed by the United States government. Resumption actually took place on 17 Dec. 1878, when the premium on gold disappeared.RESURRECTION, generally spoken of as resurrection of the dead, or of the body (resurrectio mortuorum, resurrectio carnis, avdaraaif TUV veupwv) is the doctrine of the reunion of the soul and body of mai their separation in death. This teaching vealed religion should be distinguishec that of the immortality of the soul, a eternal survival of human personality death.
This is in contrast to the so-called dormancy of the dry, resting seed. The term, ajterripening, signifies the preparation of the seed for resumption of growth. Dormancy is of definite advantage to the continuance of the species in that germination under conditions unfavorable for seedling survival is prevented. This is true for many temperate-zone forms whose seeds mature in the autumn.
Lateral growth in trees frequently begins later than growth in height, but the period of lateral growth is longer. Rates of lateral growth likewise are low at the outset, increasing after a few weeks and then diminishing. In view of the long annual period of lateral growth in trees, deleterious environmental conditions may exercise a pronounced effect on growth. In the wood of trees of temperate regions, narrow and wide growth rings may be observed, marking years characterized by unfavorable and favorable conditions for growth.
