7957 | How old are you, Captain Sam? |
7957 | How will you get there? |
7957 | Jim Woodbury,he answered,"do n''t you see him? |
7957 | Jim who? |
7957 | Oh, what''s the use? |
7957 | Piece of what? 7957 Well, do n''t you think that if you were to pray to God for faith, God would give it to you?" |

7957 | About this time John asked me,"Well, what do you think?" |
7957 | And then came the question,"Wo n''t you do it?" |
7957 | But I lay awake far into the night, thinking, feeling the beating of my heart, wondering what kept it going and"what if it should stop suddenly?" |
7957 | But I was weary with the effort, and as I thought it over, I said to myself"What are you trying to do?" |
7957 | But how can a man believe what he does not believe?" |
7957 | But_ how_ probable? |
7957 | But_ which way_ shall we go? |
7957 | Do n''t you think that, if you had faith, as a Christian man, the Bible would be a different book to you?" |
7957 | How could I go back and tell them that I had decided to do the thing that I had ridiculed and scoffed at in their presence? |
7957 | How could he deny it? |
7957 | Possibly within ten miles, probably within twenty- five, certainly within_ fifty_, some fishermen were plying their trade, but_ where_? |
7957 | Then came the thought, How did they begin to have faith? |
7957 | Was it possible that my skepticism had been well founded, that there was nothing in the so- called"Christian experience"after all? |
7957 | We had nowhere else to go; we had come as far as we could; our time was nearly up-- what of the night? |
7957 | What would it mean for me to answer this question in the affirmative? |
7957 | What''s that over there?" |
7957 | Where is he?" |
7957 | With this last thought came the question, How did these men live the victorious life? |
7957 | and what of the morning? |

19615 | Are you in much bodily pain? |
19615 | Dear sir, what were my works before I heard that sermon, but evil, carnal, selfish, and ungodly? 19615 Did you not find many difficulties in your situation, owing to your change of principle and practice?" |
19615 | Did you not then feel for your family at home? |

19615 | What family have you? |
19615 | What is your present view of the state in which you were before you felt seriously concerned about the salvation of your soul? |
19615 | Why so? |
19615 | ''What then is he whose scorn I dread, Whose wrath or hate makes me afraid? |
19615 | And my deservings, what were they but the deservings of a fallen, depraved, careless soul, that regarded neither law nor gospel? |
19615 | Are not you willing, my father, to part with me into_ his_ hands who gave me to you at first?" |
19615 | Are we sensible of our own emptiness, and therefore flying to a Saviour''s fulness to obtain grace and strength? |
19615 | Are we turned from idols to serve the living God? |
19615 | Are we"clothed with humility,"and arrayed in the wedding- garment of a Redeemer''s righteousness? |
19615 | Are we"lost and found,""dead and alive again?" |
19615 | Art thou made rich by faith? |
19615 | At length I said to Elizabeth--"Do you experience any doubts or temptations on the subject of your eternal safety?" |
19615 | But oh how unworthy of them all are we? |
19615 | Can you be so kind as to tell me what you have found to be the most effectual means of strengthening it? |
19615 | Can you doubt amidst such numerous tokens of past and present mercy?" |
19615 | Do any of my readers inquire why I describe so minutely the circumstances of prospect and scenery which may be connected with the incidents I relate? |
19615 | Do we indeed live in Christ, and on Him, and by Him, and with Him? |
19615 | Do you not think she is, sir?" |
19615 | Hast thou a crown laid up for thee? |
19615 | He may well say, What should I have done more that I have not done? |
19615 | Herein thou resemblest her; but dost thou resemble_ her_ as she resembled Christ? |
19615 | His power is great, and who can withstand it? |
19615 | How then before Thee shall I dare To stand? |
19615 | I consider the Saviour saying to you, as He did to Peter,''Lovest them me?'' |
19615 | I desired him to come into the house, and then said:"What is your occupation?" |
19615 | I then broke silence by reading the passage,"O death, where is thy sting? |
19615 | If not, read this story once more, and then pray earnestly for like precious faith? |
19615 | Is He our all in all? |
19615 | Is it too much to say, they should live like the angels in all holiness, and be filled with love and zeal for men''s souls? |
19615 | Is there no mercy in this?" |
19615 | Is thine heart set upon heavenly riches? |
19615 | My reader, rich or poor, shall you and I appear there likewise? |
19615 | O grave, where is thy victory? |

19615 | What shall I do? |
19615 | know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? |
19615 | or wherein have I proved unfaithful or unkind to my faithless backsliding children? |
19615 | or, how thine anger bear? |
39231 | About me? |
39231 | And Uncle Laban? |
39231 | And he really says I may go? |
39231 | And will He go out by the same road that we came? |
39231 | And you wish to go too? |
39231 | And you? |
39231 | Are you going out on the lake this morning? 39231 Are you going to stay at home now, father?" |
39231 | Are you not glad we are here? |
39231 | Are you not the lad whose lameness has just been healed by my best friend? 39231 Aunt Leah,"he asked, coming back to the first question,"do n''t you think He must have meant me as well as those men?" |
39231 | Believest thou that I can do this? |
39231 | Carest Thou not that we perish? |
39231 | Child, have you no care for us? |
39231 | Could any one answer them? |
39231 | Cripple him as he did me? |
39231 | Did n''t I go fast? |
39231 | Did n''t you always live here? |
39231 | Do I really make you feel that way, little one? 39231 Do n''t you think it would be just as easy to cure a leper as to raise Rabbi Lazarus from the dead?" |
39231 | Do you know when the Master is going to leave Bethany? |
39231 | Do you mean that I may come here every day? 39231 Do you see that?" |
39231 | Do you see those bunches of half- grown grapes? 39231 Do you suppose he could straighten out such a crooked back as mine? |
39231 | Do you think he''ll do anything for me, if I go to him now? |
39231 | Do you think it possible that this friend of mine is the One to be sent of God? |
39231 | Do_ you_ believe it is true? |
39231 | Does He never talk about it? |
39231 | Does she ever see him? |
39231 | Does your aunt never give you any tasks to do at home? |
39231 | Even this miracle at the marriage feast in Cana? |
39231 | Father Phineas,he asked,"do you remember the story we heard from the old shepherd, Heber? |
39231 | Go back, and say that John Baptist asks,''Art Thou the Coming One, or must we look for another?'' |
39231 | Has He not twice walked out unharmed, before their very eyes, when they would have taken Him? 39231 He will come right away and make him well, wo n''t He, mother?" |
39231 | How can such things be? |
39231 | How could He mean that He has overcome the world? 39231 How did you manage to penetrate these Roman- guarded walls?" |
39231 | How far can you shoot with it? |
39231 | How long before you start? |
39231 | How long do you expect to be away? |
39231 | How old a man is this friend of yours? |
39231 | How would you do it? |
39231 | I wish it could be this way every night, do n''t you, Ruth? |
39231 | If He goes away again may I not go with Him? 39231 If Thou art the Messiah, why dost Thou not set up Thy kingdom, and speedily give Thy servant his liberty?" |
39231 | Is He never going to set up His kingdom? |
39231 | Is He not even now making ready to establish His kingdom? |
39231 | Is it not meet that he should herald his presence by miracles and signs and wonders? |
39231 | Is it not strange,asked Benjamin the potter,"that having such power He still delays to establish His kingdom?" |
39231 | Is not this prophet, Jesus, He who is to save Israel? |
39231 | Is not this the accepted time for the coming of Israel''s Messiah? |
39231 | Joel, did_ you_ see Him after He was risen? |
39231 | Joel, my lad, may I ask your help for a little while? |
39231 | Lord, to whom shall we go? |
39231 | May I have these pieces of fine wood to use as I please? |
39231 | May I run and speak to him? |
39231 | Oh, am I really to go, too? |
39231 | Oh, are you sure? |
39231 | Oh, can you read? |
39231 | Oh, have you? |
39231 | Oh, how? 39231 Oh, was n''t there_ one_ to stand up for Him?" |
39231 | Oh, why did He not come sooner? |
39231 | Oh, why should He be persecuted so? |
39231 | Rabbi Phineas,he asked gently, after a long pause,"what makes you so good to me? |
39231 | Rabbi Phineas,said Joel, with a trembling voice,"do n''t you think your friend is the prophet we are expecting?" |
39231 | Rabbi Phineas,ventured Joel, respectfully,"is that not the wood you charged me to save so carefully?" |
39231 | Rehum? |
39231 | Shall I run and tell Joseph what you are going to do? |
39231 | Shall Joel take the pigeon home with him, little daughter? |
39231 | That brings hope for the future; but what comfort is there for the lonely years we must live without him? |
39231 | There is a lad here which hath five barley loaves and two small fishes, but what are they among so many? |
39231 | To crown Him? |
39231 | WHAT are you looking for, grandfather? |
39231 | WHO is that talking in the house? |
39231 | Was it to follow Rabbi Jesus of Nazareth? |
39231 | Was n''t there_ one_ to speak a word in His defence? 39231 We greeted them respectfully, but could not speak for astonishment when we heard their question:"''Where is he that is born king of the Jews? |
39231 | Well, did she whip you? |
39231 | Were you always like that? |
39231 | What are you going to make her? |
39231 | What are you going to make? |
39231 | What brought_ you_ here? |
39231 | What did He say? |
39231 | What did He say? |
39231 | What do you find to do all day, my lad? |
39231 | What do you mean by poor Rehum? 39231 What does he want to do?" |
39231 | What have we to do with Thee, Jesus of Nazareth? 39231 What is it, Mother Abigail?" |
39231 | What is it? |
39231 | What is it? |
39231 | What is the meaning of all this? |
39231 | What manner of man is this? |
39231 | What shall we do? |
39231 | What think you that I saw just now? |
39231 | What was that? |
39231 | What''s that? |
39231 | When are we going back to our other home? |
39231 | When are we going to start for Jerusalem? |
39231 | Where art Thou now? |
39231 | Where can I find this man? |
39231 | Where did it come from? |
39231 | Where do you live? |
39231 | Where have all these people been? |
39231 | Where is He for whom I was but a voice crying in the wilderness? 39231 Where is the Master?" |
39231 | Where is your father, little one? |
39231 | Where was he born? |
39231 | Where were the hosts of Pharaoh when our fathers passed through the Red Sea? 39231 Where?" |
39231 | Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts? |
39231 | Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 39231 Who battled for us when the walls of Jericho fell down? |
39231 | Who is that boy talking to Jesse? |
39231 | Who lives across the street? |
39231 | Who told you that? |
39231 | Who''s Joel? |
39231 | Why did He not save him then? |
39231 | Why did I not come to you before with my worries? |
39231 | Why did such a thing have to be? |
39231 | Why did ye not take Him, as ye were ordered? |
39231 | Why did you take the trouble to come and tell me that,--a poor despised leper? |
39231 | Why do n''t you go and see for yourself if the tomb is empty? |
39231 | Why does n''t He come? |
39231 | Why may not His prophet speak peace to Jerusalem as easily as He did the other night to the stormy sea? 39231 Why may not this be also?" |
39231 | Why trouble ye the Master? |
39231 | Why was all this ointment wasted? |
39231 | Why where have you been all your life? |
39231 | Why, are you not happy here, little daughter? |
39231 | Why, my son? |
39231 | Why? |
39231 | Why? |
39231 | Will He be here, I wonder? |
39231 | Will He be here? |
39231 | Will He be here? |
39231 | Will He be here? |
39231 | Will you not tell Rabbi Nathan about the wonderful star that was seen at that time? |
39231 | Would ye also go away? |
39231 | Would ye stop the great work He has come to do for matters of such little importance? |
39231 | Yes, Rabbi Phineas, what would you have me to do? |
39231 | You, too? |
39231 | Abigail laid her hand on his, her dark eyes glowing with intense earnestness, as she answered:"What need is there of armies and human hands to help? |
39231 | Abigail,"he asked,"do you remember my friend in Nazareth whom I so often speak of,--the son of Joseph the carpenter? |
39231 | And besides what good could you do, my boy? |
39231 | And yet how can I leave you and the little ones alone in these troubled times? |
39231 | Are n''t you glad? |
39231 | Art thou come to destroy us? |
39231 | Believest thou this?" |
39231 | But he paused in the act of handing it to Joel, to ask,"You are sure, now, that your uncle and aunt will consent to such an arrangement?" |
39231 | But what kind of one? |
39231 | But what was it that made her start back terrified, and shrink away trembling? |
39231 | But where was the princely Redeemer of prophecy? |
39231 | Can I not take Joel and the children to Bethany? |
39231 | Can they, Seth?" |
39231 | Could he be the same boy? |
39231 | Could he do less? |
39231 | Could you take me with you?" |
39231 | Did not you yourself help prepare the body for burial, and put it in the tomb?" |
39231 | Did you never go to a synagogue?" |
39231 | Do n''t you know how white and thin she looked when they carried her by a little while ago? |
39231 | Have you forgotten the wealthy young oil- seller who lived next the synagogue? |
39231 | Have you not heard that Messiah has come? |
39231 | Have_ you_ ever known Him to do anything to make these men His enemies?" |
39231 | He was a publican, and how could they reach to such depths? |
39231 | How can I bear it? |
39231 | How can I do otherwise? |
39231 | How could he give up his hope of revenge, when it had grown with his growth till it had come to be as dear as life itself? |
39231 | How did it make you feel?" |
39231 | How did you ever think of asking me?" |
39231 | How did you get out?" |
39231 | How doth He now say,"I am come down out of heaven"?'' |
39231 | I heard him say scornfully:''Is not this the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? |
39231 | Is n''t that just exactly what you planned; or did you want the pleasure of punching them out yourself?" |
39231 | Is the Lord''s arm shortened that He can not save? |
39231 | Joel''s face flushed with pleasure, and he sprang up quickly, saying,"May I begin right now? |
39231 | Lord, why casteth Thou off my soul? |
39231 | Oh, Rabbi Phineas, did you ever know before that there could be such green pastures and still waters?" |
39231 | Oh, can it be possible that''the Lord hath laid on_ Him_ the iniquity of us all''? |
39231 | Oh, why was I not taken instead of Lazarus?" |
39231 | Oh,_ do_ you think he could make them all right?" |
39231 | Or rather, would you not like to come all the way? |
39231 | Phineas looked searchingly into his face as he replied,"Would you be greatly disappointed, my son, not to go this year?" |
39231 | Phineas, who had been His earliest friend and playfellow, would he not be lifted to the right hand of power? |
39231 | Shall the dead arise again and praise Thee? |
39231 | The roll dropped to the ground, and he hid his face in his hands, crying,"How long must I endure this? |
39231 | Then he turned to Joel to ask,"Did you ever ride on a camel, my boy?" |
39231 | Then why should not my feet be always swift to bring others to Him for the same happy healing? |
39231 | Was there bloodshed and fighting there? |
39231 | What are all these lessons, if not to teach us that the purposes of God do not depend on human hands to work out their fulfilment?" |
39231 | What do you see?" |
39231 | What makes you so different from other people? |
39231 | What''s this one for?" |
39231 | What''s yours?" |
39231 | What''s yours?" |
39231 | Where is the Master?" |
39231 | Where were His dyed garments from Bozrah? |
39231 | Who could realize how much it meant to the little fellow whose halting steps had so long been taken in weariness and suffering? |
39231 | Who told you?" |
39231 | Whose hand smote the Assyrians at Sennacherib? |
39231 | Why do n''t you go and ask the good man to straighten your back?" |
39231 | Why do n''t you take some up there, and offer them for sale?" |
39231 | Why does He not show Himself?" |
39231 | Why hidest Thou Thy face from me?" |
39231 | Why may not His power be multiplied even as the loaves and fishes? |
39231 | Why, how could you?" |
39231 | Will you come?" |
39231 | Will you hand me that rope?" |
39231 | Wilt Thou show wonders to the dead? |
39231 | _ Was_ it the Christ who had passed by? |
39231 | another feast?" |
39231 | called little Ruth,"where is you?" |
621 | ( 118) Our great American revivalist Finney writes:I said to myself:''What is this? |
621 | ( 202) Well, what were its good fruits for Margaret Mary''s life? 621 Heavens, how can I speak of it? |
621 | How are we to conceive,Principal Caird writes,"of the reality in which all intelligence rests?" |
621 | How does it work when we thus anticipate God by going our own way? 621 I then closed my eyes for a few minutes, and seemed to be refreshed with sleep; and when I awoke, the first inquiry was, Where is my God? |
621 | Is there, then,our author continues,"no solution of the contradiction between the ideal and the actual? |
621 | It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do?--deeper than hell; what canst thou know? |
621 | She burst out weeping, and said,''O Richard, what made you fight?'' 621 The spiritual life,"he writes,"justifies itself to those who live it; but what can we say to those who do not understand? |
621 | What for? |
621 | What is the answer which Jesus sends to John the Baptist? |
621 | What shall I think of it? |
621 | Wherefore? |
621 | ''And where shall I do that, Lord?'' |
621 | ''But,''said I,''is that possible?'' |
621 | ''Some one ought to do it, but why should I?'' |
621 | ''Some one ought to do it, so why not I?'' |
621 | ''What is it that is finished?'' |
621 | ''Why,''I asked of myself,''does the author use these terms? |
621 | ( 328) Ought it to be assumed that in all men the mixture of religion with other elements should be identical? |
621 | ( 333) How indeed could it be otherwise? |

621 | --"How did I come to be? |
621 | ------------------------------------- What shall we now say of the attributes called moral? |
621 | ------------------------------------- What, now, must we ourselves think of this question? |
621 | --or shall we do so with enthusiastic assent? |
621 | ..."Why does man go out to look for a God?... |
621 | ; Brainerd''s, 212; Alline''s, 217; Oxford graduate''s, 221; Ratisbonne''s, 223; instantaneous, 227; is it a natural phenomenon? |
621 | ?_ A. |
621 | After this distinct revelation had stood for some little time before my mind, the question seemed to be put,''Will you accept it now, to- day?'' |
621 | After this, with difficulty I got to sleep; and when I awoke in the morning my first thoughts were: What has become of my happiness? |
621 | Again, are men the factors of some dream, the dream- like unsubstantiality of which they comprehend at such eventful moments? |
621 | And how should I have cried, since I was swooning with happiness within? |
621 | And if it be so, how can any possible judge or critic help being biased in favor of the religion by which his own needs are best met? |
621 | And in what form should we conceive of that"union"with it of which religious geniuses are so convinced? |
621 | And it being said to her in the going out,_ Where is thy faith? |
621 | And second, What is its importance, meaning, or significance, now that it is once here? |
621 | And second, ought we to consider the testimony true? |
621 | And what could it matter, if all propositions were practically indifferent, which of them we should agree to call true or which false? |
621 | And what had they exactly in their several individual minds, when they delivered their utterances? |
621 | And what then? |
621 | And why may not religion be a conception equally complex? |
621 | Are the men of this world right, or are the saints in possession of the deeper range of truth? |
621 | Are there not hereabouts some points of application for a renovated and revised ascetic discipline? |
621 | Are you any more prepared for heaven, or fitter to appear before the impartial bar of God, than when you first began to seek? |
621 | Are you any nearer to conversion now than when you first began? |
621 | At once I replied,''Will you take the desire away?'' |
621 | But I can not keep myself from being either crazy or an idiot; and, as things are, from whom should I ask pity? |
621 | But do you wish, Lord, that I should inclose in poor and barren words sentiments which the heart alone can understand?" |
621 | But how came I, then, to this perception of it? |
621 | But in all seriousness, can such bald animal talk as that be treated as a rational answer? |
621 | But make a mother of her, and what have you? |
621 | But now, I ask you, how can such an existential account of facts of mental history decide in one way or another upon their spiritual significance? |
621 | But the idea of him, I said, how did I ever come by the idea? |
621 | But verily, how stands it with her arguments? |
621 | But what matters it in the end whether we call such a state of mind religious or not? |
621 | But why in the name of common sense need we assume that only one such system of ideas can be true? |
621 | Can modern idealism give faith a better warrant, or must she still rely on her poor self for witness? |
621 | Can philosophy stamp a warrant of veracity upon the religious man''s sense of the divine? |
621 | Can things whose end is always dust and disappointment be the real goods which our souls require? |
621 | Can you believe it? |
621 | Did I stop to ask a single question? |
621 | Did he not love me? |
621 | Do mystical states establish the truth of those theological affections in which the saintly life has its root? |
621 | Do they deduce a new spiritual judgment from their new doctrine of existential conditions? |
621 | Do they frankly forbid us to admire the productions of genius from now onwards? |
621 | Do we accept it only in part and grudgingly, or heartily and altogether? |
621 | Do you not blush with shame at wishing that a knife should be your master? |
621 | Does God really exist? |
621 | Does it act, as well as exist? |
621 | Does it furnish any_ warrant for the truth_ of the twice- bornness and supernaturality and pantheism which it favors? |
621 | Does this temperamental origin diminish the significance of the sudden conversion when it has occurred? |
621 | Everything in me awoke and received a meaning.... Why do I look farther? |
621 | Finney, what ails you?'' |
621 | First of all, then, I ask, What does the expression"mystical states of consciousness"mean? |
621 | First, is there, under all the discrepancies of the creeds, a common nucleus to which they bear their testimony unanimously? |
621 | First, what is the nature of it? |
621 | For what seriousness can possibly remain in debating philosophic propositions that will never make an appreciable difference to us in action? |
621 | Had I not found my God and my Father? |
621 | Had he not called me? |
621 | Has he made religion universal by coercive reasoning, transformed it from a private faith into a public certainty? |
621 | Has he rescued its affirmations from obscurity and mystery? |
621 | Has science made too wide a claim? |
621 | Have I not said the state is utterly beyond words?" |
621 | He came and, placing his hand upon my shoulder, said:''Do you not want to give your heart to God?'' |
621 | He then said,''Are you in pain?'' |
621 | How can I learn aught when naught I know? |
621 | How can the devotee show his loyalty better than by sensitiveness in this regard? |
621 | How do we part off mystical states from other states? |
621 | How does he exist? |
621 | How is success to be absolutely measured when there are so many environments and so many ways of looking at the adaptation? |
621 | How should you know their true nature, since one knows only what one can comprehend? |
621 | How, then, should we_ act_ on these facts? |
621 | How_ can_ you measure their worth without considering whether the God really exists who is supposed to inspire them? |
621 | I ask you, what is human life? |
621 | I asked them what place that was? |
621 | I feel the pressure of his hand, I feel something else which fills me with a serene joy; shall I dare to speak it out? |
621 | I halted but a moment, and then, with a breaking heart, I said,''Dear Jesus, can you help me?'' |
621 | I now turn to my second question: What is the objective"truth"of their content? |
621 | I say God, but why? |
621 | If I, being a wretch and damned sinner, could be redeemed by any other price, what needed the Son of God to be given? |
621 | If it did not, wherein would its superiority consist? |
621 | If one with Omnipotence, how can weariness enter the consciousness, how illness assail that indomitable spark? |
621 | If so, in what shape does it exist? |
621 | If the inner dispositions are right, we ask, what need of all this torment, this violation of the outer nature? |
621 | If the natural world is so double- faced and unhomelike, what world, what thing is real? |
621 | If we are sick souls, we require a religion of deliverance; but why think so much of deliverance, if we are healthy- minded? |
621 | If we can not explain physical light, how can we explain the light which is the truth itself? |
621 | If we were to ask the question:"What is human life''s chief concern?" |
621 | If, then, the entire work is finished, all the debt paid, what remains for me to do?'' |
621 | In other words, is the existence of so many religious types and sects and creeds regrettable? |
621 | In our own attitude, not yet abandoned, of impartial onlookers, what are we to say of this quarrel? |
621 | In the healthiest and most prosperous existence, how many links of illness, danger, and disaster are always interposed? |
621 | In the mean time while thus exercised, a thought arose in my mind, what can it mean? |
621 | In what facts does it result? |
621 | Into what definite description can these words be translated, and for what definite facts do they stand? |
621 | Is an instantaneous conversion a miracle in which God is present as he is present in no change of heart less strikingly abrupt? |
621 | Is it necessary, some of you have asked, as one example after another came before us, to be quite so fantastically good as that? |
621 | Is it not surprising that health exists at all? |
621 | Is it possible that I, in that moment, felt what some of the saints have said they always felt, the undemonstrable but irrefragable certainty of God? |
621 | Is not it a maimed happiness-- care and weariness, weariness and care, with the baseless expectation, the strange cozenage of a brighter to- morrow? |
621 | Is not its blessedness a fragile fiction? |
621 | Is not your joy in it a very vulgar glee, not much unlike the snicker of any rogue at his success? |
621 | Is such a"more"merely our own notion, or does it really exist? |
621 | Is the saint''s type or the strong- man''s type the more ideal? |
621 | Is there in life any purpose which the inevitable death which awaits me does not undo and destroy? |
621 | May not voluntarily accepted poverty be"the strenuous life,"without the need of crushing weaker peoples? |
621 | Of what I shall do to- morrow? |
621 | Oh, happy child, what should I do? |
621 | Or how does it assist me to plan my behavior, to know that his happiness is anyhow absolutely complete? |
621 | Or is dogmatic or scholastic theology less doubted in point of fact for claiming, as it does, to be in point of right undoubtable? |
621 | Ought all men to have the same religion? |
621 | Ought it, indeed, to be assumed that the lives of all men should show identical religious elements? |
621 | Ought they to approve the same fruits and follow the same leadings? |
621 | Ought we not, whether we dig or plough or eat, to sing this hymn to God? |
621 | Pray, what specific act can I perform in order to adapt myself the better to God''s simplicity? |
621 | Religion, whatever it is, is a man''s total reaction upon life, so why not say that any total reaction upon life is a religion? |
621 | Severed like cobwebs, broken like bubbles in the sun--"Wo sind die Sorge nun und Noth Die mich noch gestern wollt''erschlaffen? |
621 | She asked always earnestly,''When shall I be perfectly thine, O my God?'' |
621 | Should we not love it; should we not feel buoyed up by the Eternal Arms?" |
621 | So what good will it do you to think all your lives,''Oh, I have done evil, I have made many mistakes''? |
621 | The mere possibility of producing milk from grass, cheese from milk, and wool from skins; who formed and planned it? |
621 | The poet says, Dear City of Cecrops; and wilt thou not say, Dear City of Zeus? |
621 | The question, What are the religious propensities? |
621 | The questions"Why?" |
621 | The subject of Saintliness left us face to face with the question, Is the sense of divine presence a sense of anything objectively true? |
621 | The whole feud revolves essentially upon two pivots: Shall the seen world or the unseen world be our chief sphere of adaptation? |
621 | Then I flung myself on the ground, and at last awoke covered with blood, calling to the two surgeons( who were frightened),''Why did you not kill me? |
621 | Then there crept in upon me so gently, so lovingly, so unmistakably, a way of escape, and what was it after all? |
621 | Then what was to me an audible voice said:''Are you willing to give up everything to the Lord?'' |
621 | There was a sincerity about this man that carried conviction with it, and I found myself saying,''I wonder if God can save_ me_?'' |
621 | These questions"Why?" |
621 | They drew the cord tight with all their strength and asked me,''Does it hurt you?'' |
621 | Thy cowl, thy shaven crown, thy chastity, thy obedience, thy poverty, thy works, thy merits? |
621 | To the believer in moralism and works, with his anxious query,"What shall I do to be saved?" |
621 | To what psychological order do they belong? |
621 | Under just what biographic conditions did the sacred writers bring forth their various contributions to the holy volume? |
621 | Under what form will this fear crush me? |
621 | Was there not a Church into which I might enter?... |
621 | We are It already; how to know It?" |
621 | Well, how is it with these fruits? |
621 | Well, what did I do? |
621 | What are we to think of all this? |
621 | What can be more base and unworthy than the pining, puling, mumping mood, no matter by what outward ills it may have been engendered? |
621 | What could I do? |
621 | What have I done to deserve this excess of severity? |
621 | What is he? |
621 | What is it, indeed, that keeps existence exfoliating? |
621 | What is its cash- value in terms of particular experience? |
621 | What is more injurious to others? |
621 | What is the particular truth in question_ known as_? |
621 | What less helpful as a way out of the difficulty? |
621 | What may the practical fruits for life have been, of such movingly happy conversions as those we heard of? |
621 | What more have we to say now than God said from the whirlwind over two thousand five hundred years ago? |
621 | What must I do to please thee? |
621 | What single- handed man was ever on the whole as successful as Luther? |
621 | What then must the person do? |
621 | What will be the outcome of all my life? |
621 | What will be the outcome of what I do to- day? |
621 | What would happen if the final stage of the trance were reached? |
621 | When I came to him he burst into tears and said:''Richard, will you forgive me for striking you?'' |
621 | When I waked in the morning, the first thought would be, Oh, my wretched soul, what shall I do, where shall I go? |
621 | When S. had finished his prayer and was turning to sleep, the brother said,''Do you still keep up that thing?'' |
621 | When could it be evil when thou wert near? |
621 | When such a conquering optimist as Goethe can express himself in this wise, how must it be with less successful men? |
621 | When we think certain states of mind superior to others, is it ever because of what we know concerning their organic antecedents? |
621 | Whence am I? |
621 | Wherefore did I come? |
621 | Why are twice two four? |
621 | Why can I not write down the inconceivable influences, consolations, and peace which I felt interiorly? |
621 | Why do n''t you manage it somehow?" |
621 | Why does he not say"the atoning work"?'' |
621 | Why not simply leave pathological questions out? |
621 | Why regret a philosophy of evil, a mind- curer would ask us, if I can put you in possession of a life of good? |
621 | Why should I do anything? |
621 | Why should I live? |
621 | Why then not call these reactions our religion, no matter what specific character they may have? |
621 | Why would you not let me die?'' |
621 | Will you be the slave of a knife or the slave of Jesus Christ? |
621 | Would martyrs have sung in the flames for a mere inference, however inevitable it might be? |
621 | Yet he finds himself forced to write:--"What right have we to believe Nature under any obligation to do her work by means of complete minds only? |
621 | Yet how believe as the common people believe, steeped as they are in grossest superstition? |
621 | You have been seeking, praying, reforming, laboring, reading, hearing, and meditating, and what have you done by it towards your salvation? |
621 | _ Have you had any experiences which appeared providential?_ A. |
621 | _ Je m''en fiche_ is the vulgar French equivalent for our English ejaculation"Who cares?" |
621 | _ Things are wrong with them_; and"What shall I do to be clear, right, sound, whole, well?" |
621 | _ What does Religion mean to you?_ A. |
621 | _ What is your notion of sin?_ A. |
621 | _ What is your temperament?_ A. |
621 | _ What things work most strongly on your emotions?_ A. Lively songs and music; Pinafore instead of an Oratorio. |
621 | a common person says to himself about a vexed question; but in a"cranky"mind"What must I do about it?" |
621 | and in what proportion may it need to be restrained by other elements, to give the proper balance? |
621 | and must our means of adaptation in this seen world be aggressiveness or non- resistance? |
621 | and say outright that no neuropath can ever be a revealer of new truth? |
621 | and the question, What is their philosophic significance? |
621 | and"What next?" |
621 | how did it come about? |
621 | in a penny?_ she threw it away, begging pardon of God for her fault, and saying,''No, Lord, my faith is not in a penny, but in thee alone.'' |
621 | until this came:''Why do you not accept it_ now_?'' |
621 | what is its constitution, origin, and history? |
621 | what shall I do now?'' |
621 | what shall I do?'' |
621 | what shall all these do? |
621 | what shall the law of Moses avail? |
45536 | A nice job you set us at,began Jerry, gayly,"we have just this minute got through; and here it is toward morning somewhere, is n''t it?" |
45536 | And birds? 45536 And can you tell me what your name is?" |
45536 | And so you two are going to take hold and reform the town? |
45536 | And who is that? |
45536 | And, Norm, will you bring them all home to supper with you? 45536 Are n''t these almost as pretty as red ones?" |
45536 | Are you away from your home? |
45536 | Boxes? |
45536 | Bring Jerry, here; you like music, do n''t you, Jerry? |
45536 | But I have nothing to wear? |
45536 | But how could that be done? |
45536 | But what in the world is the trouble? 45536 But where would we get the books and papers?" |
45536 | But with Susie she will not mind, will she? 45536 Ca n''t you answer a question? |
45536 | Ca n''t you raise a few more teaspoons somewhere? |
45536 | Ca n''t you see them? |
45536 | Complimentary? 45536 Could n''t you see by his face that he did? |
45536 | Did he want a nice cool drink? |
45536 | Did they frow him in? |
45536 | Did you burn you, child? |
45536 | Did you come home to help mother? |
45536 | Did you ever see anything so cunning? 45536 Did you have a good time? |
45536 | Difference? |
45536 | Do clothes make such a very great difference to girls? |
45536 | Do n''t they look pretty? |
45536 | Do n''t you know I told you yesterday we must plan a way to earn money? 45536 Do n''t you know what has happened?" |
45536 | Do n''t you think we had better clean house to- day? |
45536 | Do n''t you want some of these nice chips? 45536 Do you know how to make a fire?" |
45536 | Do you know, Jerry, I have been thinking all day of something that I ought to say to you? |
45536 | Do you mean us? |
45536 | Do you mean your mother would let us have the room, and the chance in the kitchen, to go into such business? |
45536 | Do you say her brother is to be at the wedding? |
45536 | Do you think I am making this stick too long for the frame? 45536 Do you think it may take five years to get hold of Norm?" |
45536 | Do you want a room, Jerry? |
45536 | Does He love flowers? |
45536 | Does Norman drink too? |
45536 | Does angels come after all folks that dies? |
45536 | Does he work for his board? |
45536 | Does it appear so from the gallery? 45536 Does n''t he ever drink any of that bad stuff?" |
45536 | Does your old lady look anything like that? |
45536 | Everything done up for the day? |
45536 | Father, can we go to market now? 45536 Father,"said Nettie, in a very low voice,"could n''t you let the man keep the fifty cents, on the account, and that would be a beginning?" |
45536 | For curtains? |
45536 | For the land''s sake, what be you going to do with them? |
45536 | Girls, what are you doing here? 45536 Going over now, Nettie? |
45536 | Going up home, I s''pose? |
45536 | Has father come in? |
45536 | Has your papa got good? |
45536 | Have I kept you waiting? |
45536 | Have you had good luck in fishing? |
45536 | Have you made some? |
45536 | He is a nice man, is n''t he? |
45536 | He makes the flowers blow,she repeated with thoughtful face, then:"What did He make them for?" |
45536 | How came father to begin to drink? |
45536 | How can we? 45536 How did you get''em? |
45536 | How did you like it? |
45536 | How did you make this thing? |
45536 | How do you do? |
45536 | How do you feel now? |
45536 | How do you happen to know so much about him? |
45536 | How do you know any angel would have come for her? |
45536 | How do you know it is true? |
45536 | How does he think I know? 45536 How much is butter?" |
45536 | How much stuff does it take for curtains, anyhow? |
45536 | How? |
45536 | I did not know she was so nearsighted as all that, did you? |
45536 | I do n''t see but they look a good deal alike,said Lorena, tossing her curls;"I''m sure their dresses correspond; is she a sister?" |
45536 | I know it would n''t,said Nettie;"besides, who would make the johnny- cake, and the potato balls? |
45536 | I s''pose it''s safe? |
45536 | I want to know now if that is the little one who went away six, seven years ago, was it? 45536 I want to know what there was hard about it?" |
45536 | I wo n''t eat much,said poor Nettie, trembling and quivering,"and I will try very hard to help; but if you please, what makes things so? |
45536 | I wonder if I am? |
45536 | I wonder who started that absurd story about his father deserting him? |
45536 | I wonder why? |
45536 | I''ll tell you what it is, Nettie, we shall have a pretty busy afternoon if we carry out our plans, wo n''t we? 45536 Is Susie good?" |
45536 | Is a fiddle the only kind of music you like? |
45536 | Is he? |
45536 | Is it much, father? |
45536 | Is it so late as that? |
45536 | Is n''t she a queer little object? |
45536 | Is that so? 45536 Is that the reason she wo n''t go to the flower show next week?" |
45536 | Made some what, Curly? |
45536 | May I come in, father? |
45536 | May I expect you? |
45536 | May I have some of that, father? 45536 Mr. Sherrill, you remember Myers, your college classmate? |
45536 | Norm,he said,"wo n''t you help me carry home that tray? |
45536 | Now we are partners-- Nettie Decker and Jerry Mack, who knows what we can do? 45536 O, no,"said Nettie,"he has gone to work; but I mean-- I meant-- doesn''t it all seem to you of no use at all? |
45536 | Oh, yes, and what does that amount to? 45536 See here, Nettie, what is the matter with your father? |
45536 | See here, do you understand about this firm business; it must be you and me, you know? |
45536 | See what? |
45536 | Soap? |
45536 | That is so, I suppose,he said thoughtfully;"and they do n''t make carpets out of boxes, nor with saws and hammers, do they? |
45536 | The woman who lives in the cottage where the vines climb all around the front, and who has birds, and a baby? 45536 Then what are we to do, Jerry? |
45536 | They are sort of charity schools, are they not? |
45536 | Through, Nettie? 45536 Till when?" |
45536 | Very well,said Ermina promptly,"I am sure mamma will like them; could you carry them down now? |
45536 | Was it nice? |
45536 | Well, Nan, my girl, you have grown into a fine young lady, have you? 45536 Well, Nannie,"he said,"got your fusses and fixings all ready?" |
45536 | Well, Neighbor Decker, these young folks of ours are busy people, ai n''t they, and seem to be getting the upper hand of us? |
45536 | Well, but, darling, what made you promise, when you knew we had no flowers? 45536 Well, go on; what then?" |
45536 | Well, if good is n''t going to come of it, do we want to do it? |
45536 | Well, now, I should like to know why not? 45536 Well, what do they use for curtains?" |
45536 | Well, what is a fellow to do? 45536 Well, will you?" |
45536 | Well,said Norm,"I do n''t care; I''ll help; but how are we going to get the things out here?" |
45536 | What are we talking about? |
45536 | What are you staring at? |
45536 | What are you talking about? |
45536 | What became of that little Irish boy she used to be so fond of-- Jerry, his name was? |
45536 | What did you do it for? |
45536 | What do they want of that thing at the church? |
45536 | What do you know about money, or want with it? |
45536 | What do you think? |
45536 | What does he say? |
45536 | What have you thought of? 45536 What is it?" |
45536 | What is that? |
45536 | What is that? |
45536 | What is unbleached muslin? 45536 What made Him put the colors on them? |
45536 | What of it? 45536 What of it? |
45536 | What party is this coming down the street? 45536 What shall we do?" |
45536 | What was it Mr. Sherrill wanted of you just as we were coming out? |
45536 | What''ll your mother say to your bringing folks home to supper? |
45536 | What''s all this? |
45536 | What''s that? |
45536 | What? 45536 What?" |
45536 | What? |
45536 | When he comes after you and takes you away, what will I do? |
45536 | Where did you get the table, and the gimcracks around that chair? 45536 Where did you get them?" |
45536 | Where did you get''em, Norm? 45536 Where does mother keep the bread, and other things?" |
45536 | Where is the old woman? |
45536 | Where? 45536 Who are you?" |
45536 | Who is General McClintock? |
45536 | Who is Joe Decker? 45536 Who is it?" |
45536 | Who is that? |
45536 | Why did he pretend he was somebody else? |
45536 | Why did n''t Daniel shut up the window just as_ tight_, and not let anybody know it when he said his prayers? |
45536 | Why did n''t you wear your own shoes? |
45536 | Why do n''t you ask me to go? |
45536 | Why not, pray? 45536 Why not? |
45536 | Why not? 45536 Why should I take it for granted that he is going to waste all his money?" |
45536 | Why, out on the pike about a mile; that nice white house set back from the road a piece; do n''t you know? 45536 Why, what do you wear on Sundays, I should like to know? |
45536 | Why, where could he take you? 45536 Why, yes,"said Nettie,"I see he likes it; but what is the use in knowing people''s tastes if you can not possibly do anything for them?" |
45536 | Why? |
45536 | Will we put these on in the morning? |
45536 | Will you be a good girl, and let me love you? |
45536 | Will you go with me, father, to buy the shoes? 45536 Wo n''t you tell me if your name is Satie Decker?" |
45536 | Wo n''t you tell me where father is? 45536 Would n''t Norm and his two friends go too?" |
45536 | Would the others go? |
45536 | You dear little mouse, what sent you out in such a storm? |
45536 | You did not think that Norm was going to reform the very minute you did anything pleasant for him, did you? |
45536 | You have n''t begun school yet, have you? 45536 A good deal of arithmetic had been spent on the question: How low can we possibly sell this, and not actually lose money by it? 45536 And the boys, who would have sneered at_ his_ setting himself up in business, answered:What, the little chap who lives at Smith''s? |
45536 | And what about the chairs?" |
45536 | And what if he does? |
45536 | And what was that she was saying, over and over? |
45536 | And what would Jerry think? |
45536 | Anyhow, we are friends, and will stand by each other through thick and thin, wo n''t we?" |
45536 | Are my eyes as crooked as that? |
45536 | Are n''t they the very splendidest people you ever knew in your life?" |
45536 | Are they for you to wear?" |
45536 | Are they your little sisters, Mr. Decker? |
45536 | Are you Irish, Jerry?" |
45536 | Are you acquainted with these girls? |
45536 | Are you going to fat them all, to eat; or raise some of them to lay eggs?" |
45536 | At his first pause she broke forth:"Did He mean you, papa, when He said''Come unto Me''? |
45536 | At last, one bolder than the rest, stepped towards her:"Little girl, where did you come from? |
45536 | Been selling tickets for the show, or piling chairs, or what?" |
45536 | Besides, where were father and mother? |
45536 | Boys like to meet together and talk things over, you know, and have a good time, and how are some of them going to do it? |
45536 | Burt?" |
45536 | But it seems sort of queer to have her come into our class, does n''t it? |
45536 | But meantime she knew very well that she could not go back home that night, and the present terror was, where was she to sleep? |
45536 | But what did you mean about Norm? |
45536 | But what do you want of them? |
45536 | But what made her suddenly speak her bit of news, interrupting the young planners? |
45536 | But what would it eat?" |
45536 | By the way, I wonder if these are her flowers? |
45536 | Ca n''t father get work?" |
45536 | Ca n''t you give a fellow a reason for things? |
45536 | Can not you?" |
45536 | Can you come every Sabbath, do you think? |
45536 | Certainly Susie had kept Norm at home all the afternoon; but was she also likely to accomplish it for the evening? |
45536 | Come up in the loft, will you, and see my tool chest?" |
45536 | Could n''t he stop drinking the stuff whenever he liked? |
45536 | Could n''t she contrive to coax some of the money from his keeping into hers? |
45536 | Could n''t they have waited until she got out of the way, so that she need not have known how dreadful they were? |
45536 | Could n''t we go home this way and make it shorter?" |
45536 | Could n''t you go with us, for just a little while? |
45536 | Could she ever creep around in the dark and hide away from her own_ father_? |
45536 | Could you go?" |
45536 | Did I tell you Norman was engaged to Ermina Farley? |
45536 | Did he distinguish himself in any way? |
45536 | Did he pick her up on the street somewhere, and would he be angry, and not let Nettie take her to church any more? |
45536 | Did he really buy the things, child, and pay for them? |
45536 | Did it mean that her step- mother hated her, and had taught the children to do so? |
45536 | Did n''t I tell you that was what my father was always saying to me? |
45536 | Did n''t they know she was within hearing? |
45536 | Did n''t we call her Nan? |
45536 | Did n''t you know that? |
45536 | Did n''t you miss me? |
45536 | Did n''t you think I would be here to- day, ma''am?" |
45536 | Did she really have no dinner, Susie? |
45536 | Did the sentence end in a sigh, or did Nettie imagine it? |
45536 | Did they do it? |
45536 | Did they really attach so much importance to the clothes they wore as to think no one was respectable who was not dressed like them? |
45536 | Did you ask him to? |
45536 | Did you ever see a girl in our class before, with a gingham dress on? |
45536 | Did you ever see anything more lovely?" |
45536 | Did you hear them come in last night? |
45536 | Did you know anything of it, daughter?" |
45536 | Did you know he liked it so much?" |
45536 | Did you think of them too?" |
45536 | Do n''t you know she is old Joe Decker''s daughter?" |
45536 | Do n''t you remember that old hen and chickens he bought? |
45536 | Do n''t you see them a little bit of a speck, Nannie?" |
45536 | Do n''t you see? |
45536 | Do n''t you think Norm would like it to have them asked home with him to supper, and show them how to have a real good time? |
45536 | Do n''t you think so?" |
45536 | Do n''t you wish we could get hold of him so close that he would help us? |
45536 | Do you know what I mean, darling? |
45536 | Do you know who it is, Decker?" |
45536 | Do you love your papa when he is good?" |
45536 | Do you promise?" |
45536 | Do you think He can be going to call her soon?" |
45536 | Do you think Jerry would help us?" |
45536 | Do you think he was going to own that"this kind of thing"had never been enjoyed in his home before, during all the years of his recollection? |
45536 | Do you understand?" |
45536 | Does He like to see pretty colors, do you sink? |
45536 | Eh, my friend?" |
45536 | Ermina, will you and Nettie take care of her this afternoon, and see that she is happy?" |
45536 | Father moved in the spring, you know, so instead of my coming back early in the spring as I expected, I never came until now? |
45536 | Furniture? |
45536 | Girls, are n''t they too lovely for anything? |
45536 | Had n''t she been through it many times? |
45536 | Had n''t she tried her very best and failed? |
45536 | Had she been naughty, and was it making him feel bad? |
45536 | Had they really no hearts, so that it made no difference to them how deeply they wounded poor Nettie Decker? |
45536 | Has Jerry gone wild with excitement? |
45536 | Has Miss Sherrill seen her? |
45536 | Has anything happened to- day that I have n''t heard of? |
45536 | Has he gone away anywhere?" |
45536 | Has n''t he any home at all? |
45536 | Have I done anything to make you ashamed of me? |
45536 | Have you ever had any instrument, Decker?" |
45536 | Have you some to- day for sale?" |
45536 | How are you going to make furniture out of boxes? |
45536 | How came her father to be so poor? |
45536 | How can that be? |
45536 | How could a daughter put it into words that her mother was afraid her father would lead his son astray? |
45536 | How could it be stopped? |
45536 | How could she coax him to go with her? |
45536 | How could she ever forgive herself for having encouraged the intimacy between him and the Deckers? |
45536 | How could she help being sick if she had to sleep in such a place as that? |
45536 | How could she keep him? |
45536 | How did our work look by gaslight?" |
45536 | How did they get the money to buy their things? |
45536 | How much would that be, Jerry? |
45536 | How should the delicate matter be managed? |
45536 | How was it ever to be gotten to the church? |
45536 | How would that do?" |
45536 | I ai n''t seen him notice them so much in a year; and he has n''t been drinking a mite, has he?" |
45536 | I heard you speaking of fish, Miss Barstow, and wondering whether I would not supply your people? |
45536 | I hope you have enjoyed your first day at Sabbath- school?" |
45536 | I hope you remember Mrs. Speckle? |
45536 | I mean, how much does it cost?" |
45536 | I most know we can coax him to give them both up; and then wo n''t that be nice?" |
45536 | I remember them, of course; do n''t you know what fun we used to make of Nettie? |
45536 | I say, Norm, you''re a sly one; why did n''t you ever let on that you had this kind of thing?" |
45536 | I suppose you want to plan for winter, too? |
45536 | I wonder if you can think what a strange contrast she was to everything around her? |
45536 | I wonder what makes the difference between them and other folks?" |
45536 | I''ll tell you what it is, Nettie, say we start a society, you and I, and fight this whole thing? |
45536 | I''m glad, because it gives us a hint as to what his tastes are; do n''t you see?" |
45536 | I''ve promised to run the thing for them in the evening awhile; I suppose you''ll patronize them?" |
45536 | I_ know_ he is on our side in this business, do n''t you?" |
45536 | If I had taken your word last night the wreaths would have looked better, would n''t they? |
45536 | If for nothing else, why did n''t Norm sleep in it, instead of in that dreadful unfinished attic where the rats must certainly have full sweep? |
45536 | If the Heaven she used to hear about when she was a little girl, was all so, why should she not long for Susie and Sate to go there? |
45536 | Is Nan Decker coming home? |
45536 | Is it a bargain?" |
45536 | Is it worth while to join the mad rush for the lottery; or to take the old road to slow success? |
45536 | Is it you that has fixed up things so? |
45536 | Is it your brother who does n''t like it?" |
45536 | Is n''t it a mean thing, now, that the father of such a little girl as that should go and disgrace her?" |
45536 | Is n''t it a shame that such a nice- looking boy is deserted in that way, and left to run with all sorts of people?" |
45536 | Is n''t it a shame that they have got ahead of us in that kind of way?" |
45536 | It is one big attic, ai n''t it, where Norm sleeps? |
45536 | It really seems as though the Lord must have had a good deal to do with it, does n''t it? |
45536 | It was addressed to boys, who were just beginning to like the taste of hard cider, and spruce beer, and hop bitters, and all those harmless(?) |
45536 | It would be more work, but what of that? |
45536 | Jerry do n''t know anything about the carpet rolled up in tobacco in the box in the garret; why should he think that I could help? |
45536 | Jerry with some difficulty elbowed his way towards her, his face beaming, and said,"Is n''t it splendid?" |
45536 | Jerry, why could n''t we begin, just with that? |
45536 | Little Sate and Susie?" |
45536 | Look here, do n''t you believe that if we are to do this thing and good is to come from it, we shall be able to manage it somehow?" |
45536 | Lorena Barstow, did you ever see such a queer- looking fright?" |
45536 | Lorena Barstow, what did you want to go and say she was an Irish girl for?" |
45536 | May I bring you the tea, ma''am? |
45536 | May I teach her, Mrs. Decker, and see if I can get her to learn it?" |
45536 | Mr. Decker heard this, and something, what was it? |
45536 | My brother Dick, you remember him? |
45536 | My sister is going to try some new music for a few friends, at that time; suppose you come and pick out your favorite?" |
45536 | Nettie asked, and he replied pettishly:"Much? |
45536 | No? |
45536 | Now do n''t they look exactly as though they were planning something?" |
45536 | Now shall we take another line of the hymn?" |
45536 | Now what I was wondering is, where are they going to put you to sleep? |
45536 | Now what is your news?" |
45536 | Now what shall we go at first? |
45536 | Now what was the matter with all these disagreeable young people? |
45536 | Of course she could not, he said to himself;"Is n''t that our opening evening?" |
45536 | Oh, I wonder if little Sate would not recite a verse about the daisy grandmothers? |
45536 | One thing was troubling her; as soon as she could, she followed her mother into the yard and questioned,"Do you know where Norm is?" |
45536 | Only, what was there for her to do, and how should she begin? |
45536 | Or did he, passing, spy her in the churchyard and come in for her?" |
45536 | Or the daughter of a drunkard? |
45536 | Or why did not her mother move in there with the trundle bed, instead of being cooped up in that small bedroom? |
45536 | Or why had they not prepared it for her to sleep in, if they really did not want it for anything else? |
45536 | Poor little girlie, was she frightened? |
45536 | Said Jerry,"Where do you think Norm is to take me this evening?" |
45536 | Sate dear, would you give one little old woman to me? |
45536 | Say, girls, did you ever notice what fine eyes that boy has who came in with her? |
45536 | See my curls, and see my new apron, only she says it is a dress, but it ai n''t; it is made just like Jennie Brown''s apron, ai n''t it? |
45536 | Shall I bring them now? |
45536 | Shall you, Jerry?" |
45536 | She bent toward Susie, smiling as brightly as she could, and said:"Did n''t you know, little girlie, that I was your sister Nettie? |
45536 | She does n''t belong to the schools?" |
45536 | She had n''t done it lately, but whose fault was that, she should like to know? |
45536 | She had not money enough to get there, but could n''t she work somehow, and earn money? |
45536 | She is pretty, is n''t she?" |
45536 | She needed it, and why not say it? |
45536 | She watched the disposal of her roses, then gave an inquiring glance about the grounds as she said,"What are you all doing here?" |
45536 | She winked and motioned Nettie into the bedroom and whispered:"Do n''t you believe he might like to see the children in their nice clothes? |
45536 | Should she kiss him? |
45536 | Should she tell him good- night? |
45536 | Should she venture to suggest it? |
45536 | Should you think he would?" |
45536 | Tablecloths? |
45536 | The new comer turned to the elder of the two children, and spoke in a gentle winning voice:"Little girl, do you live here-- in this house?" |
45536 | The next question was, Where to put them? |
45536 | The question is, where are the cotton and calico to come from?" |
45536 | The question was, How could she help to bring it about? |
45536 | The upper part of that house ai n''t finished off, is it? |
45536 | Then Judge Barstow in good- humored tones to Jerry:"My boy, do n''t you think you would find it quite as pleasant down there among the others? |
45536 | Then Nettie, flushed and eager, said:"O father, then you can show me how to do it, ca n''t you? |
45536 | Then the minister, who seemed to understand things without having them explained, said,"Where is Decker? |
45536 | Then what about the strong angel? |
45536 | Then what in the world was she to do? |
45536 | Then what was this about there being no room for her? |
45536 | This class is n''t the place for that girl; I wonder who invited her in? |
45536 | This little girl does n''t want to be up here, I am sure; suppose you both go down and fall behind the procession? |
45536 | This was what he said:"Do n''t you need those lilies to help trim the room to- morrow night? |
45536 | Those girls looked a trifle like peacocks, did n''t they? |
45536 | To be sure she knew that her father was poor; what of that? |
45536 | To whom was he speaking and what old woman could he mean? |
45536 | Understand?" |
45536 | Was He calling you, all the time? |
45536 | Was Susie a witch, or a selfish little girl? |
45536 | Was he a drunkard? |
45536 | Was he crying still? |
45536 | Was he ever good? |
45536 | Was he in our set?" |
45536 | Was it because she was afraid her father would not let her take Sate and Susie to church any more? |
45536 | Was it possible that her father talked in this way to his wife? |
45536 | Was n''t he her father? |
45536 | Was there any way of planning so that the front room in the Decker house could have a carpet? |
45536 | Was there possibly something sometime that she could do for him? |
45536 | Was there somebody in this town who could be asked to come to the rescue, and who was willing to give such hearty help as that? |
45536 | We''ll have these fish sizzling in a pan quicker than you have any notion of; and she knows how to sizzle them just right; does n''t she, Jerry?" |
45536 | Well, you do n''t care much about the flower party, I suppose?" |
45536 | What about Jerry? |
45536 | What ailed the boy? |
45536 | What better was there to do than follow the voice? |
45536 | What business is she here, anyway? |
45536 | What could be used that would do, and how much would they cost?" |
45536 | What did Norm intend to do a little later in the day? |
45536 | What did it all mean? |
45536 | What did it all mean? |
45536 | What did it mean that they looked so neglected and dirty? |
45536 | What do you think about it?" |
45536 | What do you think was the minister''s text on that evening? |
45536 | What does that cost?" |
45536 | What does your mother say about the room?" |
45536 | What grade are you in?" |
45536 | What had they not done for her? |
45536 | What if you was to make two, and I''d get cloth enough for two, and she would do mine and hers, to pay for the cloth?" |
45536 | What in the world can you mean? |
45536 | What in the world do you want here?" |
45536 | What is she coming for? |
45536 | What kind of a carpet could it be that was offered to her for simply the price of the weaving? |
45536 | What makes the difference?" |
45536 | What makes you glad? |
45536 | What makes you make such a big angel? |
45536 | What more natural than for a child to ask for money just then and there? |
45536 | What of it?" |
45536 | What put such a notion as that into your head, and what do you want of furniture, anyhow?" |
45536 | What was I telling you? |
45536 | What was his object in deceiving us all?" |
45536 | What was it for?" |
45536 | What was it which made her at that moment think of a bit of news which she had heard while at the milliner''s? |
45536 | What was the matter with her father these days, and how long was anything going to last? |
45536 | What was the matter with those fellows, he wondered, that they were not more cordial? |
45536 | What was the matter? |
45536 | What was the use in telling that? |
45536 | What was the use in trying to protect a boy who was so indifferent as that? |
45536 | What was the use of staying here? |
45536 | What was there she could do to keep him from lounging down street? |
45536 | What was this? |
45536 | What was to be done? |
45536 | What will you have first in my line? |
45536 | What would you do if you could?" |
45536 | What''s this? |
45536 | When did they begin it? |
45536 | Where are you going? |
45536 | Where could father be? |
45536 | Where did you get them cakes?" |
45536 | Where did you get them? |
45536 | Where had the children learned such words? |
45536 | Where have you been all night?" |
45536 | Where is Norm? |
45536 | Where was the broom? |
45536 | Where was the dishcloth? |
45536 | Where would the new housekeeper find them? |
45536 | Where''s your mother?" |
45536 | Where, I wonder, and what with? |
45536 | Where? |
45536 | Which color does He like just the very bestest of all?" |
45536 | Who arranged them?" |
45536 | Who came? |
45536 | Who could tell when he would be willing again? |
45536 | Who did it? |
45536 | Who is that boy?" |
45536 | Who is that, do you s''pose?" |
45536 | Who knows but she is a pretty good ironer? |
45536 | Who knows? |
45536 | Who thought of it? |
45536 | Who told you?" |
45536 | Who would have supposed it could grow as it did? |
45536 | Why ca n''t we?" |
45536 | Why did he call himself Jerry Mack? |
45536 | Why did n''t they wait a little later, I wonder? |
45536 | Why did not some of them come? |
45536 | Why did she feel, someway, as though she stood on the very edge of something which startled and almost frightened her? |
45536 | Why do n''t you wear gingham dresses, and cheap ribbons, and cotton gloves, if you think they look as well as nice ones?" |
45536 | Why does n''t Ermina go down on Paddy Lane and invite the whole tribe of Irish if she is so fond of them?" |
45536 | Why had he not stayed at home to welcome his little girl? |
45536 | Why had not she helped her to bear her heavy burden, instead of almost sulking over failure? |
45536 | Why not treat it as a matter of course? |
45536 | Why not? |
45536 | Why not? |
45536 | Why should her father cry? |
45536 | Why should n''t they go in? |
45536 | Why should she want to live to be a drunkard''s daughter, and a drunkard''s sister? |
45536 | Why should they now? |
45536 | Why was her father staying so long in the choked- up bedroom? |
45536 | Why was n''t it used? |
45536 | Why, Ermina, what wee mousie have you here?" |
45536 | Why, do n''t you know he has joined the church? |
45536 | Why, there is that Irish boy; I wonder if he would n''t sell us some fish? |
45536 | Why, you ca n''t do a single thing without money; and where is it to come from?" |
45536 | Will you help?" |
45536 | Will you let me give you a couple of tickets for the concert to- morrow evening; and will you and your brother come to hear me sing? |
45536 | Will you shoulder an end with me?" |
45536 | Will you tell me whether you have tea or coffee?" |
45536 | Wo n''t that be lovely? |
45536 | Wo n''t that be the way, mother?" |
45536 | Wo n''t you please come, father?" |
45536 | Wo n''t you?" |
45536 | Would he be likely ever to go there? |
45536 | Would her father be likely to let her go? |
45536 | Would n''t it be possible for her to go back home? |
45536 | Would n''t that be a fine thing to do?" |
45536 | Would n''t you stop it quick enough if you could? |
45536 | Would they have had you wear it dirty?" |
45536 | Would you be real good to it?" |
45536 | Would your mother let us have it?" |
45536 | You are n''t in dead earnest?" |
45536 | You did n''t know it, did you? |
45536 | You do n''t wonder? |
45536 | You think it was enough to disgust anybody? |
45536 | You''ve got acquainted with Jerry, I guess? |
45536 | _ Is_ that a chair, or a sofa, or what? |
45536 | after molasses? |
45536 | and When? |
45536 | and Why?" |
45536 | and did you tell Him you would?" |
45536 | did n''t the mother say it was harder for her than though they had n''t tried at all? |
45536 | do n''t you think it is too late?" |
45536 | do you remember those two cunning little girls? |
45536 | does he?" |
45536 | her voice faltered a little over that word;"maybe you can show me where to put my trunk; do you know which is to be my room?" |
45536 | interrupted Jerry in bewilderment;"well, what of that? |
45536 | or mother?" |
45536 | or,"Where in the world is the bread knife?" |
45536 | said Lorena, giving them a disagreeable stare,"in white, are they? |
45536 | said Nettie thoughtfully;"I mean, I wonder why it is so much harder to say things of that kind than it is to speak about anything else?" |
45536 | said Nettie,"I mean to tell Norm to let him have two snaps, would n''t you?" |
45536 | she tried to turn comforter; tried to think of one cheering word to say; but what was there to cheer the wife of a drunkard? |
45536 | then will you make the one who will come for my papa? |
45536 | what would she pay with? |
45536 | what would those children say or do, and what would happen next? |
12662 | And are all four of us expected to occupy this one room? |
12662 | And should we go to the meetings? |
12662 | And what then? |
12662 | And what were they doing down below? 12662 And you like to be made to feel like a''perfect simpleton?'' |
12662 | Are not the most of them professing Christians? |
12662 | Are we strangers? |
12662 | Are we supposed to be devoted to all these meetings? 12662 Are you going to the lecture?" |
12662 | Are you going to visit the Holy Land this morning, and may I be of your party? |
12662 | Are you going to write out your report for the paper? 12662 Are you going?" |
12662 | Are you looking for work to do for the Master? |
12662 | Are you really going? |
12662 | Are you the''good nephew''that your aunt said thought these meetings only a step below paradise? |
12662 | But do you suppose it is really an accurate outline? |
12662 | But how can you be_ sure_ of that? 12662 But what about the Sunday- school?" |
12662 | But, my dear madam, what justice is there in that? 12662 By the way, are the Arnotts in Saratoga? |
12662 | Ca n''t we go to the meeting, girls, and look for the tent afterward? 12662 Ca n''t we have one of the tents on that side near the stand?" |
12662 | Come, Flossy,she said;"where in the world are you? |
12662 | Curiosity is at the bottom of your wise thought, is it? 12662 Did n''t I limit my question?" |
12662 | Did you ever hear about a wonderful spring that used to cure people? |
12662 | Did you know that Sunday- school lessons were such remarkable affairs? 12662 Did you take it?" |
12662 | Did you tell her I was going? |
12662 | Did_ he_ live in Bethany? 12662 Do n''t people''s bodies get well sometimes? |
12662 | Do n''t you know you declared that was too much like work, and you had n''t an idea of learning anything? |
12662 | Do n''t you like him ever so much, Ruth? |
12662 | Do n''t you see? |
12662 | Do n''t you think so? |
12662 | Do you feel that? |
12662 | Do you find it so? |
12662 | Do you have to bring work to Chautauqua with you? |
12662 | Do you know I have a mission for you? 12662 Do you really think it has any practical value?" |
12662 | Do you see,she said, turning eagerly,"that these are Bible references on each tablet? |
12662 | Do you suppose that when Flossy has to die she will be troubled lest it may not be the fashion for young ladies to die that season? |
12662 | Do you think he said Mayville? |
12662 | Do you think you will take the 10:50 train, Ruth? |
12662 | Does he, I wonder? |
12662 | Does n''t it feel forlorn? |
12662 | Eurie,Ruth had said,"where is your head ache bottle that you boast so much of? |
12662 | Eurie,she said,"are you asleep, or are you enjoying Flossy''s last new departure?" |
12662 | Flossy Shipley, what do you mean? |
12662 | Foolish? |
12662 | Grand meeting, is n''t it? 12662 Has n''t it to you?" |
12662 | Have n''t you been at Chautauqua long enough to catch one of its cardinal rules, never to stay at home for rain? |
12662 | Have they exhausted you already? |
12662 | Have you been hired as an exhorter? |
12662 | Have you been there to see? |
12662 | Have you found out? |
12662 | Have you found the Father''s presence yet? |
12662 | How could anything look the same to her? |
12662 | How could she? |
12662 | How did you do it? |
12662 | How did you think he looked? |
12662 | How do you do this morning? |
12662 | How do you do? |
12662 | How do you do? |
12662 | How do you know about him? |
12662 | How do you know it happened? |
12662 | How do you know it was? |
12662 | How long is it since you settled this question for yourself? |
12662 | How on earth do you manage to keep so thoroughly posted in regard to Chautauqua affairs? 12662 How soon will that be, I wonder?" |
12662 | How will we find out? 12662 How?" |
12662 | I beg pardon,he said, speaking rapidly,"but this is Miss Rider?" |
12662 | I beg pardon,she said,"but is n''t this Miss Erskine? |
12662 | I did n''t know you were to be here; I''m real glad to see you again, and what about the husband and the dear boy? |
12662 | I liked him of course; how could I help it? 12662 I wonder if he is a man whom I have any special desire to hear?" |
12662 | I wonder if he realizes what a blessed thing it is to be circled with prayer? |
12662 | I wonder if his sermons sound like that? 12662 I wonder if there are different degrees of moral blindness?" |
12662 | I wonder what that is supposed to be? |
12662 | I wonder what those normal classes are like? |
12662 | I wonder who Mary A. Lathbury is? |
12662 | I wonder who he is? |
12662 | Is n''t Mrs. Clark delightful? 12662 Is n''t that your favorite employment when you are awake, Eurie? |
12662 | Is n''t this her tent? 12662 Is that all that Webster says?" |
12662 | It is a year, is n''t it? 12662 It would be_ so_ easy to drop into a household box the price of an apple, or a paper, or a glass of peanuts, and yet who does it? |
12662 | Let me see, this is the morning of the second day, is it not? |
12662 | May I give you to- night one word more of gospel invitation? 12662 May I venture to prophesy that you have some friend here whom you would give much to feel had been drawn here by the very Spirit of God?" |
12662 | Miss Erskine is n''t a member of the church, is she? |
12662 | Of course we have got to die, and everybody knows it; and what I say is, should you be afraid if it were to- night, you know? |
12662 | Oh, are you going to the museum? |
12662 | Shall we laugh, or cry? |
12662 | Spiritual results,she said to herself, and a smile hovered over her face-- what_ were_"spiritual results?" |
12662 | That speaks well for the interest, or the fun, does n''t it? 12662 That was Jesus, was n''t it? |
12662 | The fifth chapter and fifteenth verseof what? |
12662 | The guest tents? |
12662 | The question is, are we to take trunks-- or, rather, are you to? 12662 The very night we came, Marion, and you made me come to the meeting in the rain, you remember? |
12662 | Then do you take it to be their religion which inclines you to trust to their word, without having an individual acquaintance with them? |
12662 | Then is not to- day a good time to commence? 12662 Then please get me one of the''Bliss''singing books, will you? |
12662 | Was it long? |
12662 | Was you sick in bed when you came? |
12662 | We have n''t been to one of those, have we? 12662 Well, if she teaches them to tumble out on the right side so that they will come up grand men and women, what then? |
12662 | Well, that is worth hearing; and have you heard him talk? |
12662 | Well, why not? |
12662 | What about Miss Shipley? 12662 What about Saratoga?" |
12662 | What about those two? |
12662 | What are we going to do? |
12662 | What can he possibly make of such a subject as that? |
12662 | What can you possibly find to keep you gazing out of that window? 12662 What class of people do you mean who are given to doing as they have agreed? |
12662 | What did I tell you? 12662 What did you expect? |
12662 | What do you mean? |
12662 | What has moved you to be eloquent? 12662 What if it has? |
12662 | What in the name of sense takes you? |
12662 | What in the world did you expect, Ruthie? 12662 What is it?" |
12662 | What is so glaringly inappropriate about it if they really believe the Bible? 12662 What is the proper word for that, school- ma''am? |
12662 | What is the sense in a woman talking in that way? 12662 What is the subject this morning?" |
12662 | What is the subject? |
12662 | What is the use in fault- finding? |
12662 | What is the use in saying anything? 12662 What is this?" |
12662 | What is to be next? |
12662 | What is your private explanation of the word''hotel''? |
12662 | What its proper at a dance in very improper coming home from prayer- meeting, do n''t you see? |
12662 | What of it? |
12662 | What of it? |
12662 | What on earth did she say? |
12662 | What on earth is the point then? 12662 What on earth is there to be frightened over? |
12662 | What proportion of that class of people are here, do you think? |
12662 | What was that for? |
12662 | What wonderful lesson can it be that is so fearfully important? |
12662 | What_ are_ you going to do then? |
12662 | What_ are_ you talking about? |
12662 | What_ is_ the matter now? |
12662 | What_ shall_ I wear? |
12662 | When did the president leave? |
12662 | When was that? |
12662 | Where are the drunken men? |
12662 | Where did you make his acquaintance? |
12662 | Where is Jamestown? |
12662 | Where is the Miller party? |
12662 | Where shall we learn what God thinks of it? 12662 Where?" |
12662 | Where? |
12662 | Which designs them, the blue eyes or the curls? |
12662 | Which question shall I answer first? 12662 Who ever heard such an ado made about a Sunday- school lesson? |
12662 | Who is to blame that you can not all be addressed as_ workers_ for Christ? 12662 Who''s who?" |
12662 | Why ca n''t we have one of those in that row on the hill? |
12662 | Why did n''t it cure but one? |
12662 | Why did n''t they have a speaker ready to address this throng, instead of keeping us waiting here with nothing to entertain us? |
12662 | Why do n''t you go to Sunday- school? |
12662 | Why in the name of sense do n''t you come to bed? |
12662 | Why not? |
12662 | Why? |
12662 | Why? |
12662 | Wo n''t Miss Mitchell read it to us? |
12662 | Would you like to rest? 12662 You are from Chautauqua?" |
12662 | You did n''t like him,she said,"did you? |
12662 | You do not remember me? |
12662 | You miss most of the meetings, do you not? |
12662 | You people are going to reap a fine harvest, pecuniarily, to- morrow; but how about the fourth commandment? 12662 You will never think of trying to travel to- day, will you, Ruth? |
12662 | Your aunt, for instance? |
12662 | ''Ben,''said his dirty- faced visitor, bending over him,''you''re pretty bad ai n''t you? |
12662 | ''Ca n''t you take this tune,''I said,''just where I leave it, and finish it for me as I have it in my heart to do? |
12662 | ''Did you know there was a man once named Jesus Christ? |
12662 | ''Hear him speak?'' |
12662 | ''No; who is he?'' |
12662 | ''What in the world can you be talking about?'' |
12662 | ''Will he do it?'' |
12662 | A struggle? |
12662 | After all, why should she_ not_ be afraid of death? |
12662 | After that, what hope was there for Charlie Flint and his small talk? |
12662 | After what, I wonder?" |
12662 | Am I going to Chautauqua, do you mean? |
12662 | And I wonder if there is no such thing now? |
12662 | And could n''t I thank you then, and tell you how glad I was, just the same as though I had it in my hand? |
12662 | And do n''t you know how clearly Dr. Niles made it appear that there was a special work for each one?" |
12662 | And if God did not make everything, who did? |
12662 | And in the third place-- But perhaps you do not care to hear all the reasons?" |
12662 | And is he dead? |
12662 | And is n''t it blessed? |
12662 | And the result? |
12662 | And then, again, Ruth''s astonishment was in part lost in that absorbing question:"How did you get to be one?" |
12662 | And was n''t it an unanswerable argument? |
12662 | And yet Marion Wilbur rose up at its close, with cheeks aglow not only with tears, but smiles; and the question,"Will God ever forgive sin?" |
12662 | And yet, when she came to think of it, was n''t she? |
12662 | And you have a party with you? |
12662 | And you surely will not argue that the Association has not a right to limit the number of guests that it will entertain over the Sabbath?" |
12662 | And, above all, why did she care what it meant, when she had been happy all her life before without knowing or thinking anything about it? |
12662 | Are they not strong enough?" |
12662 | Are we among a party of witches, do you suppose? |
12662 | Are you a teacher for next Sunday? |
12662 | Are you going to hear about John Knox? |
12662 | Are you going?" |
12662 | Are you ready? |
12662 | Are you ready? |
12662 | Believe in religion? |
12662 | Ben, do you ever pray?'' |
12662 | But I ca n''t tell you how it is: do n''t you know there are some things that you are sure of that you ca n''t explain? |
12662 | But I mean, are you hopeful as to the reaching of many of the unconverted, or do you consider its work chiefly among us?" |
12662 | But I meant, is that all he says about hotels? |
12662 | But do you remember with whom her morning had commenced? |
12662 | But do you think he thought himself good? |
12662 | But now, what about Ruth Erskine? |
12662 | But of course she must tell them, for what good else would the story do? |
12662 | But the point is, what do I want to go for?" |
12662 | But was it not strange, the way in which her education was being cared for? |
12662 | But what could she do? |
12662 | But what right had they to suppose that we had not the money to pay for what we wish? |
12662 | But what right has he to say that_ that_ is an indication of a weak mind?" |
12662 | But what_ can_ we do? |
12662 | But would he bring something to help Flossy? |
12662 | But, was n''t he logical and eloquent?" |
12662 | But_ first_ it is this question: Am I my own mistress? |
12662 | Christian people, do you refer to?" |
12662 | Come, shall we take the three o''clock boat?" |
12662 | Could American ambition reach higher? |
12662 | Could anything be more reasonable? |
12662 | Could it be possible that it was written only yesterday? |
12662 | Could she honestly tell that it might not lead to a judgment that should call her to account for her non- religious influence over her scholars? |
12662 | Deems?" |
12662 | Did it look to others than Marion a strange way to live? |
12662 | Did n''t he say that was Dr. Hart''s estimate, Ruthie? |
12662 | Did n''t it suit? |
12662 | Did n''t she love Christ? |
12662 | Did n''t you bring anything suited to the rain? |
12662 | Did n''t you bring it with you, and do n''t you prepare a list for each day''s use?" |
12662 | Did she actually believe these things for which she had been contending? |
12662 | Did this resolution that she had made put her among the_ workers_? |
12662 | Did you agree with the young gentleman?" |
12662 | Did you ever be told about him?'' |
12662 | Did you ever hear yourself prayed for by an earnest, reverent, pleading voice? |
12662 | Did you ever_ see_ anything like the way the people come here, anyhow?" |
12662 | Did you feel just as you did before?" |
12662 | Did you know that was at the bottom of most sarcasm, my dear?" |
12662 | Do I really think that all these men gathered here are either deceived or deceivers? |
12662 | Do any of you know anything about Dr. Walden? |
12662 | Do n''t some of you want to join us? |
12662 | Do n''t you know that you must n''t get up conversations with strange young men in that fashion?" |
12662 | Do n''t you know we read his book aloud at the seminary? |
12662 | Do n''t you see what I want?''" |
12662 | Do n''t you see? |
12662 | Do n''t you see? |
12662 | Do n''t you suppose the child can see that it is the fashion of the place? |
12662 | Do n''t you think that is selfish?" |
12662 | Do n''t you?" |
12662 | Do they just read verses in the Bible?" |
12662 | Do you honestly think that_ you_, Ruth Erskine, have anything to be saved from? |
12662 | Do you know Dr. Parsons, of Boston? |
12662 | Do you know his grace? |
12662 | Do you know his love? |
12662 | Do you know his power? |
12662 | Do you really feel as deeply as you pretended to that man, on all these questions of the Chautauqua conscience? |
12662 | Do you really miss me? |
12662 | Do you really suppose it will be worth while?" |
12662 | Do you remember that little boy in the garret, how he turned his face to the wall and asked God to save him? |
12662 | Do you suppose I am going to make an ignominious retreat now, when we have got so far advanced? |
12662 | Do you think her cheeks glowed with joy over the thought of the great love and the great power of Jesus? |
12662 | Do you think that was what the sentence said to Marion? |
12662 | Do you think this seemed like a wonderful story to Eurie? |
12662 | Do your entire party go?" |
12662 | Does n''t have an idea anyway what it is-- how can he?" |
12662 | Does n''t he justify your friend just a little bit in her expectations?" |
12662 | Does that answer satisfy you, my blessed mother confessor? |
12662 | Eurie, my dear, ca n''t you impress it on those dear people that we_ do n''t want_ any hot water? |
12662 | Eurie, what are you laughing at?" |
12662 | Eurie, you are certain that your theological student did not cross the Atlantic in order to reach his elysium?" |
12662 | Flossy, do you suppose there is enough imagination in me to make you into a book saint? |
12662 | Flossy, do you suppose you can ever hear that hymn read again without laughing? |
12662 | Following the sudden leading that she had learned no better than to call''impulse''she said in a quick low whisper:"Eurie,_ wo n''t you_?" |
12662 | For her? |
12662 | For was it not aimed at that class of people who awakened her own keenest sense of satire-- the so- called"Christian world"? |
12662 | For what_ must_ it be like when there is"joy in the presence of the angels in heaven"? |
12662 | For whom would God count those prayers? |
12662 | For whom would this young man pray? |
12662 | Fowler?" |
12662 | Girls, do n''t you each want one of them to take home? |
12662 | Girls, do n''t you know how nice we thought it would be to be together at Chautauqua for two whole weeks? |
12662 | Glorious meeting, is n''t it? |
12662 | Had not the most common- place statements a right to be tried by their own tests? |
12662 | Had she not carried her heart to him, and had he not left his indelible impression there? |
12662 | Had she not heard with her own ears Marion''s sneering sentence in the face of the unanswerable arguments that had been presented?" |
12662 | Had she not stood side by side with death? |
12662 | Harold, as soon as the season is over, and I get back home, I am going to unite with the church? |
12662 | Has He answered you? |
12662 | Has n''t he a ringing voice? |
12662 | Have n''t you been fearfully bored? |
12662 | Have n''t you consulted the programme and read:''No admission at the gates or docks''?" |
12662 | Have you been seized with a mania for taking notes?" |
12662 | Have you done that? |
12662 | Have you heard him sing?" |
12662 | Have you seen our bulletin? |
12662 | Have you?" |
12662 | He marked it with his pencil as he finished reading, and as he returned the book to her keeping he said with a smile:"We will, shall we not?" |
12662 | He often says to people,''Wilt thou be made whole?'' |
12662 | He turned toward her a pleasant face and said, earnestly:"You would not be afraid of your father, would you? |
12662 | Help? |
12662 | His singing is splendid, is n''t it? |
12662 | Honestly, girls, is n''t it a sort of wonderment to you how the people up there can employ their time? |
12662 | How can I be lost in God''s sight one moment and accepted the next?" |
12662 | How can I possibly tell but that this may be the case? |
12662 | How can I tell you anything about it? |
12662 | How could any one be so devoid of heart as that? |
12662 | How could they help doing it again after that? |
12662 | How did Frank Beard do it with a dull colored crayon and a half- dozen movements of his skillful arm? |
12662 | How do I know, after all, but there may really be a spiritual blindness, and that it may be holding me? |
12662 | How does it read:''That it is eminently fit and proper for those who believe that God made them to join the church?'' |
12662 | How does that sound? |
12662 | How many more might there be? |
12662 | How sharp he is, is n''t he?" |
12662 | How would it seem to stand in intimate relationship with one single gifted mind like these, and was she destined ever to know by actual experience? |
12662 | I have paid my money, and what business is it to them when I present my ticket? |
12662 | I mean, is it a vital point in your estimation whether people go there to church on Sunday or not?" |
12662 | I thought we should surely get good seats to- night? |
12662 | I want to know if you think you are a Christian?" |
12662 | I will; I have changed my mind; I will give it to you,''would n''t there be a difference? |
12662 | I wonder how I shall contrive to discover where it is? |
12662 | I wonder how many souls it has shipwrecked? |
12662 | I wonder how you will carry it out? |
12662 | I wonder if I am acquainted with him? |
12662 | I wonder if Ruth Erskine is afraid to die? |
12662 | I wonder if it be possible that there are any others like her? |
12662 | I wonder if she can be one of those who are to take part in the primary exercises? |
12662 | I wonder if she ever prays? |
12662 | I wonder if she thinks one''s entire time and money should be devoted to the heathen?" |
12662 | I wonder if the distinction is really marked, so one looking on could detect the difference, though all of them are strangers? |
12662 | I wonder if the people at home ever make such a uproar about the lesson? |
12662 | I wonder if there is no way of coming at it? |
12662 | I wonder if they have the wedding day set already, and if she will announce it to me?" |
12662 | I wonder if they_ do_ all wear them? |
12662 | I wonder if we_ do_ look in the least alike? |
12662 | I wonder if you are right, and nothing is of any consequence, anyhow?" |
12662 | I wonder just what is required of people when they join the church? |
12662 | I wonder what I_ do_ think anyway? |
12662 | I wonder what can be the matter? |
12662 | I wonder who he is? |
12662 | I wonder why she did n''t?" |
12662 | If clear light could shine on that, could there not on_ anything_? |
12662 | If he did really belong to that"royal family,"why not rejoice over it? |
12662 | If she did, was she in very deed an idiot? |
12662 | If she is to be made well you may be sure that he can do it; but why should he so long as you do not care enough about it to ask him?" |
12662 | If the blundering creatures who call themselves by his name are nothing but miserable imitations of what was_ once_ real? |
12662 | If there is a too late to this thing, and I do not find it out simply because I am blind, what then? |
12662 | If there was nothing at all in it, why not let Ruth amuse herself by joining the church and playing at religion? |
12662 | If you have, wo n''t you please enlighten me as to his wisdom on this subject?" |
12662 | In what way am I different from what I was yesterday? |
12662 | Is anybody sure that it is in this hemisphere? |
12662 | Is he now, and can I be one of them? |
12662 | Is he so very talented, Marion?" |
12662 | Is n''t Miss Shipley in your tent? |
12662 | Is n''t it a queer place, Miss Erskine? |
12662 | Is n''t it queer to think how well we know them all, and they are not aware of our existence?" |
12662 | Is n''t it strange that they are not interested?" |
12662 | Is n''t that an ambition worthy of her?" |
12662 | Is not that promise verified to us often and often when we know it not? |
12662 | Is she also one of your flock?" |
12662 | Is that the reason you resolved to hear him again?" |
12662 | Is there to be a sermon? |
12662 | It is one of the Christian graces that is very hard to cultivate, anyway; do n''t you think so?" |
12662 | It was wonderful how many people chose to consider themselves primary workers? |
12662 | It would add to her sense of dignity, and who would be hurt by it? |
12662 | Looks as though he might have written it, does n''t he? |
12662 | Marion, do n''t you know how like a simpleton I talked, a week ago last Saturday night? |
12662 | Miss Erskine, what is your opinion of the direct spiritual results of this gathering? |
12662 | Miss Mitchell, are you going to do something for Christ that shall be talked over a thousand years from now? |
12662 | Mr. Wayne? |
12662 | Must I be a Deacon Cole Christian if I am one at all?" |
12662 | My dear child, run and get your paper bag before it is time to go; or will you have my slice of ham and half this doughnut? |
12662 | No? |
12662 | Now I should like to know which of us was acting the sillier?" |
12662 | Now for one question more: Have you made the effort that you believe to be necessary?" |
12662 | Now how did those four girls come to be friends? |
12662 | Now that is being frank, is n''t it, when I am walking the deck with a young lady?" |
12662 | Now what do you suppose takes all these people to this place?" |
12662 | Now, Ruth, you will go, wo n''t you? |
12662 | Now, practically, what difference is there between us? |
12662 | Now, what of it all? |
12662 | O Eurie, why did n''t you tell me?" |
12662 | O men and brethren, shall we not all prepare to meet there? |
12662 | Oh, I wonder if there are a favored few who have shone out as grand lights in the world and have gone up from the world to their reward? |
12662 | Oh, Ruth, Ruth, what will we do? |
12662 | On Sinai? |
12662 | Only that? |
12662 | Ought she to try to tell him about it? |
12662 | Perhaps I might leave a message with you for her?" |
12662 | Pray how many chapters a day do you read in it?" |
12662 | Pray, are we to sleep on the slats?" |
12662 | Put it on on Tuesday morning, or Monday is it that we start? |
12662 | Rather, is it not the right thing to do? |
12662 | Roberts?" |
12662 | Ruth, are you going to take a trunk?" |
12662 | Ruthie, do you think Eurie and Marion have any interest at all?" |
12662 | Say, are you going? |
12662 | Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness?" |
12662 | Shall I tell you what came in, just then and there, to influence her decision? |
12662 | Shall we go to dinner?" |
12662 | Shall we walk down and secure seats?" |
12662 | Shall you go to Sunday- school? |
12662 | She did not move nor turn her head; but presently she said, in a low and gentle voice:"Ruth, should you be afraid to die?" |
12662 | She gave a little exclamation of dismay as she heard the plannings for the day, and said:"But, Ruth, what about the meetings?" |
12662 | She had stood looking with an indifferent air around her, until Marion turned suddenly and said:"What did the lecture say to you, Flossy? |
12662 | She knew it, believed it, felt it,--why should she not? |
12662 | She must be young for such prominent work if she looks like me; but how could he know that since he never saw her? |
12662 | She must get where she could say calmly:"Oh, are_ you_ here? |
12662 | She thought these thoughts much more quickly than it has taken me to write them, and then she spoke:"Have I been selfish? |
12662 | She wondered how a really_ mighty_ earnestness to save souls made a man appear? |
12662 | Should that time be to- day, who is ready? |
12662 | So if it is really blindness, why may not one be totally blind as well as to have a little sight that keeps one all the time in the wrong way?" |
12662 | So long as I believe fully in the church and in religion, and wish to sustain both by my money and my influence, why should I not say so? |
12662 | So this was the Bible promise? |
12662 | Strong enough? |
12662 | Such a volley of words? |
12662 | Such being the astonishing case, would n''t it be pleasant to be at work on the same lesson? |
12662 | Suppose she were the man, and these were the Jews, could she not say to them,"He has made me whole"? |
12662 | Teach in the Sabbath- school? |
12662 | That is rather fascinating, is n''t it, to think of so many hundreds and thousands of people all pitching into the same verses on Sunday morning? |
12662 | That man from Philadelphia-- what is his name? |
12662 | That question, asked by Flossy during her night of unrest,"Should you be afraid to die?" |
12662 | That strong will of hers, which had led not only herself but others, yield it, submit to other leadership, always to question: Is this right? |
12662 | The other chimed in:"Yes, and how did he do it? |
12662 | Then she in turn whispered to the lady nearest her:"Is it Miss Rider who is teaching?" |
12662 | Then:"I say, Flossy, what does it all mean? |
12662 | There being no shopping to be done, no worsteds to match, no confectionary to tempt what earthly use for money? |
12662 | They could not get into our church, could they?" |
12662 | They do n''t understand the story, and of what use would it be to them if they did? |
12662 | Think of my walking down Broadway of a sunny morning and stopping a stranger with the query,''Will you tell me where the lesson is, please?''" |
12662 | This is the third this afternoon, or is it the thirteenth? |
12662 | This time it was Flossy who asked the important question:"Are you going?" |
12662 | This velvet is a pretty shade, is n''t it? |
12662 | To what had she committed herself by her silence and his blunders? |
12662 | To whom could she go? |
12662 | Turn where she would they were wiping away the tears; she felt herself as if she could hardly keep back her own; and yet why should she weep? |
12662 | Tyler? |
12662 | Was it probable that he had met the condition, done his will, and so_ knew_ of the doctrine? |
12662 | Was it such a little,_ little_ thing to do? |
12662 | Was it true? |
12662 | Was n''t he splendid? |
12662 | Was n''t_ she_ the foolish one? |
12662 | Was not she? |
12662 | Was saying nothing about them speaking against them? |
12662 | Was she being selfish in this, her new joy? |
12662 | Was she following the stream? |
12662 | Was she really thus giving all the time an unconscious tribute to the truth and purity of the Christian faith? |
12662 | Was she? |
12662 | Was that all true? |
12662 | Was that for her, too? |
12662 | Was there a greater sinner to be found than she? |
12662 | Was there anything better to find in all this world than the assurance of this truth? |
12662 | Was this an army of prodigals who had gathered under the trees this Sabbath afternoon? |
12662 | Was this one of Prof. Sherwin''s unfinished tunes? |
12662 | Was this"skim- milk"teaching? |
12662 | Was_ she_, Ruth Erskine, a sinner? |
12662 | Wayne?" |
12662 | We might call for a rising vote of all who loved the Lord; could we not? |
12662 | Well, I enlightened her as to her expectations, and what do you think she said? |
12662 | Were you there? |
12662 | What about being behind the scenes now, Ruthie?" |
12662 | What about this strange story of the resurrection? |
12662 | What are you all going off there for, to bury yourselves in the woods? |
12662 | What came of that?" |
12662 | What can you see to- night?" |
12662 | What could have possessed you to come to- night? |
12662 | What did it mean but that there was a life hidden away, belonging to Christ? |
12662 | What did it mean? |
12662 | What did she do with her talent? |
12662 | What did she know of Christ? |
12662 | What did she know of that gracious Spirit? |
12662 | What difference did it make? |
12662 | What do I care whether she is successful or not? |
12662 | What do you suppose the people at home would think of us? |
12662 | What do you suppose they do?" |
12662 | What do you think of your choice of entertainments, Eurie? |
12662 | What do you think of_ that_ for a prayer- meeting?" |
12662 | What fault can possibly be found with such an arrangement?" |
12662 | What had Marion said? |
12662 | What had been her motive? |
12662 | What had she done with her voice? |
12662 | What had that song to do with her? |
12662 | What had_ she_ come to Chautauqua for? |
12662 | What had_ she_ to do with him? |
12662 | What harm in my saying so to everybody? |
12662 | What has become of the man?" |
12662 | What has happened to so disgust you with Chautauqua?" |
12662 | What has she done for us since we have been here except to arrange rainy weather? |
12662 | What in creation is she doing here? |
12662 | What in the world was the matter with her? |
12662 | What is the matter with you, Marion? |
12662 | What is the matter with you?" |
12662 | What is the matter? |
12662 | What is the use of taking so much trouble for these little midgets? |
12662 | What is there to be afraid of? |
12662 | What is to hinder hundreds of them from coming here to- day and buying season tickets in order to get in to- morrow?" |
12662 | What kind of a feeling would that be? |
12662 | What mattered it to her that it was a mistake, and death no nearer to her, so far as she knew, than to the rest of the sleeping world? |
12662 | What more could she do? |
12662 | What name? |
12662 | What of all that? |
12662 | What on earth do you suppose they do there all the time, anyway?" |
12662 | What on earth was he saying to you, Flossy?" |
12662 | What right had she to presume to give an opinion before applying the test? |
12662 | What should she do? |
12662 | What story? |
12662 | What then? |
12662 | What then? |
12662 | What was it? |
12662 | What was she ready to do? |
12662 | What was the matter with her? |
12662 | What was the matter with them all? |
12662 | What was the matter, Marion? |
12662 | What was there in that thought that needed to influence her?" |
12662 | What was there in this to move Eurie to tears? |
12662 | What was yours?" |
12662 | What were all these exercises, but sermons, one after the other, strong warm unanswerable appeals to be loyal to the Great Chief? |
12662 | What will the dear Doctor say if he sees you walk into his Bible- class? |
12662 | What wonderful work was to be done? |
12662 | What would this gentleman think if he should bring about that vote of which he spoke and happen to see her among the seated ones? |
12662 | What would_ He_ do with that earnest prayer? |
12662 | What''s the use? |
12662 | What_ if_ all these things were true? |
12662 | What_ is_ it you are so anxious to hear?" |
12662 | What_ was_ it that interested her? |
12662 | What_ was_ the matter with everybody? |
12662 | When she produced the flimsy question,"What difference does it make?" |
12662 | Where are the faithful now, do you suppose?" |
12662 | Where could those congenial spirits so suddenly have conveyed themselves away, I wonder? |
12662 | Where had her complacent, pretty little content gone? |
12662 | Where was this spring, and what was the man''s name that cured him?" |
12662 | Which of them had been"called by the Spirit"? |
12662 | Who are they?" |
12662 | Who cares to see him? |
12662 | Who imagined such a result as that? |
12662 | Who imagined that they were going to have meeting every minute in the day and evening, and give nobody a chance to breathe?" |
12662 | Who imagined you had any sentimental drawings toward Watts''hymns?" |
12662 | Who is_ your_ Master? |
12662 | Who knew but she might creep into the circle and find pleasant acquaintances? |
12662 | Who knows?" |
12662 | Who that has to do with the teaching of little children and attains to any measure of success but is largely gifted with this same element? |
12662 | Who wants to go to a Bible service? |
12662 | Who was so likely to have suggested it as the sweet angel who hovered over the sleeping darling? |
12662 | Who would have supposed it could make us feel so forlorn? |
12662 | Why ca n''t hotel subordinates more often show a little common politeness? |
12662 | Why ca n''t people be frank and speak so that they can be understood? |
12662 | Why could she not now have a little peace? |
12662 | Why did n''t she stay there and preach?" |
12662 | Why did n''t you tell_ me_?" |
12662 | Why did she not pray? |
12662 | Why did this foolish mistake of bottles, which might have been a tragedy, and was nothing but a causeless excitement, reach so far with its results? |
12662 | Why do you not serve him?" |
12662 | Why in the world do n''t you tell me? |
12662 | Why is n''t that done?" |
12662 | Why should Chautauqua suddenly desert her now when she so much needed its help? |
12662 | Why should n''t it be put into a hymn if it is desirable to impress it?" |
12662 | Why should not this subject help_ her_? |
12662 | Why should_ she_ care, though, whether people thought about this thing or not? |
12662 | Why, Ruth, do you never listen to the church covenant? |
12662 | Why, Ruthie, do you remember that story this afternoon? |
12662 | Will God ever forgive sin? |
12662 | Will you go to your rooms to- night and make the resolve that shall write your names in God''s book of life? |
12662 | Wo n''t that have all the charm of novelty? |
12662 | Would he meet it again in heaven? |
12662 | Would he understand? |
12662 | Would n''t I know that I was to have it? |
12662 | Would n''t he make a grand king? |
12662 | Would n''t it be interesting to know what they selected as the scene to especially mark this place?" |
12662 | Would she_ always_ feel so sad and anxious and unhappy, have such a longing as she did now? |
12662 | Would that have made it right?" |
12662 | Would the charm that she had woven be broken the moment they knew the story''s origin? |
12662 | Would the disappointment break forth into any disagreeable demonstrations? |
12662 | Would you mind telling me his name?" |
12662 | Yet when would she be ready to plan for dying? |
12662 | You Christians lay great stress on that document whenever a Sunday reading- room or something of that sort is being contemplated, do n''t you?" |
12662 | You are sure you can think, are n''t you? |
12662 | You are unjust, is n''t she, Ruth? |
12662 | You did not suppose that they paid their own expenses and did the work besides, did you?" |
12662 | You do n''t expect me to be able to account for human friendships I hope, especially for school- girl friendships? |
12662 | You have never heard him sing? |
12662 | You never go to such an institution, do you?" |
12662 | _ Must_ she teach them incidentally? |
12662 | _ Was_ it all so very queer? |
12662 | _ Was_ she being led of the Spirit of God? |
12662 | _ Were_ there any such things? |
12662 | _ had n''t_ he showed her that? |
12662 | and could she speak about such things, anyway? |
12662 | and who can cure bodies except the one who made them? |
12662 | and who knows where Brocton is or what it is? |
12662 | but how would you set to work to explain to me that you are sure? |
12662 | can I go here? |
12662 | do I belong to myself or to God? |
12662 | or are you more muddled than ever over what I do, and especially over what I do_ not_ believe?" |
12662 | or, rather, what if it were never in the world?" |
12662 | ought I to say that? |
12662 | said he, and"what''s what? |
12662 | she said, gayly,"you are not turning theologian, or police detective in search of suspicious characters, are you? |
12662 | she said,"do n''t you know that he manufactured Chautauqua, root and branch? |
12662 | was n''t there a certain stand which she passed almost daily on her way down town, and did she ever pass it without indulging in a glass of peanuts? |
12662 | what are you trimming your hat for? |
12662 | will I do as I please or as he pleases? |
12662 | will I submit my soul to him, and ask him to keep it and to show me what to do, or when and where to step?" |
