So, while waiting, I ask God to be with me here, and to let me serve Him in some ...

If his fears were realized—if Annie turned from him when he revealed his true self to her—there seemed to him every probability that evil evermore would be his master. While she was innocently hoping and praying that her words and influence might lead him to read his Bible, go to church, and eventually find his way into the "green pastures beside the ...

He who has ears truly touched to this music, is in a manner deaf to the voice of popularity."[110] In representing the brilliant hues of Restoration comedy, he allows an even freer play to ...

But evermore it woke, and stabbed my flank With yearnings for new music and new pain. "Another note against another god!" I clamoured; and she answered: "Bide my time.

There could be no doubt that Christ had died and risen, and was alive for evermore. There was no place for controversy or opinions when here was a mere simple, indisputable, but most awful fact. Did you want to wrangle about the aspect of the fact, the evidence, the what not? St. Francis had no mission to argue with you. "The pearl of great price—will you have it or not? Whether ...

There is no pleasure, no shape of good fortune, no form of glory in which death has not hid himself, and waited silently for ...
