Pagina 949 - DOWN in a green and shady bed, A modest violet grew, Its stalk was bent, it hung its head, As if to hide from view.
Pagina 535 - But on this day, embosomed in his home, He shares the frugal meal with those he loves ; With those he loves he shares the heart-felt joy Of giving thanks to God,— not thanks of form, A word and a grimace, but reverently, With covered face and upward earnest eye.
Pagina 807 - What ages and what lights are requisite for THIS attainment ! This intelligence involves the very attributes of Divinity, while a God is denied: for unless this man is omnipresent, unless he is at this moment in every place in the universe, he cannot know but there may be in some place manifestations of a Deity by which even he would be overpowered.

Pagina 809 - It implied an inconceivable severity of conviction that he had one thing to do, and that he who would do some great thing in this short life, must apply himself to the work with such a concentration of his forces, as, to idle spectators who live only to amuse themselves, looks like insanity.
Pagina 952 - Yes, said he, with firmness, I think so. Look at yourself, I replied, and consider your hands and fingers, your legs and feet, and other limbs ; are they not regular in their appearance, and useful to you? He said, they were. Came you then hither, said I, by chance ? No, he answered, that cannot be ; something must have made me.
Pagina 951 - I smiled at the report, and seemed inclined to disregard it; but he insisted on my going to see what had happened. Yes...
