14849	Can you add to that line That he lived for it too?
14849	Canst thou prophesy, thou little tree, What the glory of the boughs shall be?
14849	Didst fancy life was spent on beds of ease, Fluttering the rose- leaves scattered by the breeze?
14849	Didst fondly dream the sun would never set?
14849	Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, Ere the sorrow comes with years?
14849	Dost fear to lose thy way?
14849	Doth God exact day labor, light denied?
14849	Exceeding peace made Ben Adhem bold, And to the presence in the room he said,"What writest thou?"
14849	Feeling the way-- and if the way is cold, What matter?
14849	For doth not that rightly seem to be lost which is given to one ungrateful?
14849	For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
14849	George W. F. Hegel born 1770. Who are thy playmates, boy?
14849	God will not seek thy race, Nor will he ask thy birth; Alone he will demand of thee, What hast thou done on earth?
14849	Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?
14849	Have we not darkened and dazed ourselves with books long enough?
14849	Have we not groveled here long enough eating and drinking like mere brutes?
14849	Have we not stood here like trees in the ground long enough?
14849	Have you an ancient wound?
14849	Having eyes, see ye not?
14849	He said:"My child, do you yield?
14849	He went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
14849	How comes it to pass, then, that we appear such cowards in reasoning, and are so afraid to stand the test of ridicule?
14849	How many smiles?--a score?
14849	How to constitute oneself a man?
14849	I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: From whence shall my help come?
14849	If a man die, shall he live again?
14849	If heard aright It is the knell of my departed hours: Where are they?
14849	If there were dreams to sell, Merry and sad to tell, And the crier rang the bell, What would you buy?
14849	In the hour of distress and misery the eye of every mortal turns to friendship; in the hour of gladness and conviviality, what is your want?
14849	Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?
14849	Is life a noxious weed which whirlwinds sow?
14849	Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
14849	Is n''t it interesting to get blamed for everything?
14849	Is not God in the height of heaven?
14849	Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?
14849	It is not worth the keeping: let it go: But shall it?
14849	Josephine born 1763 Could we by a wish Have what we will and get the future now, Would we wish aught done undone in the past?
14849	Know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God?
14849	Look full into thy spirit''s self, The world of mystery scan; What if thy way to faith in God Should lie through faith in man?
14849	Loved the wild rose, and left it on the stalk?
14849	NOVEMBER Who said November''s face was grim?
14849	O God, can I not save One from the pitiless wave?
14849	Say, dost thou understand the whispered token, The promise breathed from every leaf and flower?
14849	Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit?
14849	Shall I ask the brave soldier who fights at my side, In the cause of mankind, if our creeds agree?
14849	Shall I give up the friend I have valued and tried, If he kneel not before the same altar as me?
14849	Shall I hold on with both hands to every paltry possession?
14849	Shall days spring up as wild vines grow, Unheeding where they climb or cling?
14849	Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?
14849	Shall we have ears on the stretch for the footfalls of sorrow that never come, but be deaf to the whirr of the wings of happiness that fill all space?
14849	Summer and flowers are far away; Gloomy old Winter is king to- day; Buds will not blow, and sun will not shine: What shall I do for a valentine?

14849	Then why, my soul, dost thou complain?
14849	Then why, my soul, dost thou complain?

14849	Unarmed faced danger with a heart of trust?
14849	Was it hard for him?
14849	Was it thus that he plodded ahead, Never turning aside?
14849	Was the trial sore?

14849	What would be the use of immortality for a person who can not use well half an hour?
14849	What''s hallowed ground?
14849	When I hear a young man spoken of as giving promise of high genius, the first question I ask about him is always-- Does he work?
14849	When the heart overflows with gratitude or with other sweet and sacred sentiment, what is the word to which it would give utterance?

14849	Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
14849	Why comes temptation but for a man to meet And master and make crouch beneath his foot, And so be pedestaled in triumph?

14849	what do we see?
14849	when the eve is cool?
27852	Mother,asked a child,"since nothing is ever lost, where do all our thoughts go?"
27852	You are never out of temper,was once said to a woman well known to be much tried at home;"is it that you do not feel the injustice, the annoyances?"
27852	***** Is_ Passionately_ the word you long for?
27852	***** Then if we_ are_ slighted, misunderstood, maligned, or persecuted, what does it matter?
27852	***** WHAT WILL BE MY CROSS TO- DAY?
27852	***** Why weep, my child?
27852	*****_ Hast thou no favors to ask of Me?_ Give Me, if thou wilt, a list of all thy desires, all the wants of thy soul.
27852	*****_ Hast thou no interests which occupy thy mind?_ Tell Me of them all.... Of thy vocation.
27852	--"You have, then, some special balm?"
27852	A disappointment?
27852	A fresh rending of the heart?
27852	After all... these little troubles, looked at calmly, what are they?
27852	Am_ I_ the type of all that is beautiful and right?
27852	And for Me hast thou no ardor?
27852	And how do you prove to Him your love?
27852	And why not?
27852	Are there around thee those seemingly less devout than formerly, whose coldness or indifference have estranged thee from them without real cause?...
27852	Are there many who try to be of some little help or comfort to the souls with whom they are brought in contact through life?
27852	Are they not very much to be pitied?
27852	Are those around you wicked?
27852	Are you discouraged?
27852	Are you full of peace?
27852	Are you tempted?
27852	BENEATH THE EYE OF GOD, GOD ONLY As you read these words, are you not conscious of an inward feeling of peace and quietness?
27852	Beneath GOD''S protecting Hand, is it possible that you can be sorrowful, fearful, unhappy?
27852	But is not this a worry, a continual torment?
27852	Can you not hear GOD''S Voice speaking to you?
27852	Did JESUS CHRIST hesitate to die for you?
27852	Do we help him, unseen, towards that act of charity, humiliation, or self- renunciation?
27852	Do we pray to GOD that this soul may become humble, pure, devoted?
27852	Do we take as much pains to procure him the little devotional book that will really help him, as we should to obtain a transient pleasure?
27852	Do you believe harm was intended?
27852	Do you know what you have gained?
27852	Do you long at each Communion to receive the grace bestowed by CHRIST that shall little by little fit you for heaven hereafter?
27852	Do you not feel moved, as if your whole being in these words went forth to GOD, offering to Him life itself?
27852	Do you not feel something soothing and consoling in these thoughts?
27852	Do you wish to live at peace with all the world?
27852	Do your duty as well as you can, as you understand it, as it is given to you; say sometimes to GOD,"My Master, art Thou satisfied with me?"
27852	Does it seem too hard for you?
27852	Does not GOD love us?
27852	Does not this simple thought explain the reason that there is often so little result from our frequent Communions?
27852	Does the future in its turn seem to frighten me?
27852	Does the past sometimes rise up to trouble me with the thought of the many years spent without GOD?
27852	Dost thou not desire to do some good to the souls of those thou lovest, but who are forgetful of Me?
27852	During the week has not the heart been wearied with petty strife and discontent, interests marred, bitter words?
27852	Each has a mission to fulfil; and as it comes from GOD, why not let it be accomplished in peace?
27852	For what reason?
27852	Has not GOD promised His pardon for His blessed SON''S sake, to all who truly repent and unfeignedly believe His Holy Gospel?
27852	Have I made a full avowal and entire submission?
27852	Have I more faith in GOD, and more calmness and resignation in all the events of life?
27852	Have I not always opportunity to give?
27852	Have we courage not to spare the soul the trial that we know will purify?
27852	Have you any further doubts?
27852	Have you fallen?
27852	Have you reckoned the number of minutes that have elapsed since your birth?
27852	He is with you, and to retain Him close, Who is all Purity, will you not be more modest in your behavior?
27852	He says:_ Continue another half- hour the work that wearies thee_; and you would stop?
27852	He says:_ Do not that_; and you do it?
27852	He says:_ Let us tread together the path of obedience_; and you answer: No?
27852	Humiliation?
27852	I smile at the foolish fancies of my imagination; is not my future in GOD''S Hands?
27852	If so, is it not the greater merit?
27852	If your duty seems almost_ impossible_ to fulfil, ask yourself,"Is this GOD''S Will for me?"
27852	Is all this_ nothing_?
27852	Is it Thy Will that lonely and sorrowful I am left on earth, while those I loved have gone to dwell near Thee above?
27852	Is it not absurd to think that because another acts and thinks differently to myself, he must needs be wrong?
27852	Is not this thought one to make you tremble?
27852	Is there not a thought in this that should make us reflect?
27852	Listen to the story of a simple shepherd, given in his own words:"I forget now who it was that once said to me,''Jean Baptiste, you are very poor?''
27852	Make them the subject of our morning prayers, and say to ourselves, Here is my daily cross, do I accept willingly?
27852	My child, tell Me of all thy weariness_: who has grieved thee?
27852	My friend, do you know why the work you accomplish fails either to give pleasure to yourself or others?
27852	Not to bestow thine affection on one who is not devout, and whose presence steals the peace from thy soul?
27852	One more solemn thought: How old are you?
27852	Poor child, why do you tell a flower the thought that troubles you?
27852	Provocation?
27852	SATURDAY EARNESTNESS You love GOD, do you not, dear one, whom GOD surrounds with so much affection?
27852	Shall I see myself misjudged, falsely suspected, despised?
27852	Sufferings?
27852	THE POWER OF AN ACT OF LOVE TOWARDS GOD Have you ever reflected upon this?
27852	The thought of GOD is never wearisome; why not always cherish it?
27852	Then to whom can I speak of Thee this day?
27852	Then, why not shake off all this, that only chills affection?
27852	To be constantly employed, and never asking,"What shall I do?"
27852	To spare them trouble, we sacrifice our own ease and enjoyment.... Oh, that is all very beautiful, very right; but what should we do for the soul?
27852	To whom do you owe all this?
27852	What counsels can I give?
27852	What does it signify if some unexpected command upsets all my previous plans?
27852	What dost thou desire?
27852	What dost thou think?
27852	What is so often the one thing wanting to some devout person devoted to doing good?
27852	What matters the tone or the harshness of the order?
27852	What moments may I seize, in which, without wounding the feelings, or parading my zeal, I may be allowed to speak a few words of piety?
27852	What must I suffer, LORD?
27852	What wilt Thou send me to- day?
27852	What wouldst thou this day, My child?...
27852	When have I ever been more_ zealous in labor_ than those days when I had fulfilled all my religious duties?
27852	When have I felt_ more free, more happy_, than when having fulfilled all the duties of my social position?
27852	When more_ loving and devoted_ than on the days of my Communions?
27852	Which of us have not felt the same?
27852	Who can describe all the joy, strength, and consolation it reveals?
27852	Who is anxious for a beloved one''s eternal welfare?
27852	Whom wouldst thou have to help thee?
27852	Why be anxious about the future?
27852	Why cause any one pain?
27852	Why imagine evil intentions against yourself?
27852	Why need I be disquieted?
27852	Why not prepare the heart, even as we do the body?
27852	Will you, receiving thus the GOD of_ Peace_ within, have for those around you kind words that shall fill them with calmness, resignation, and peace?
27852	Wilt thou go now and be loving and forbearing towards one who has vexed thee?...
27852	Would you be at peace with your conscience?
27852	Would you become holy?
27852	Would you call it_ torture_ or_ constraint_, the energy with which you shatter some poisoned cup you were almost enticed to drink?
27852	Would you live peaceably with the members of your family, above all with those who exercise a certain control of you?
27852	Would your mother have given you a bitter dose merely for the sake of causing you suffering?
27852	Wouldst thou give pleasure to thy mother, thy family, those in authority over thee?
27852	_ Art thou fearful of the future?_ Is there in thy heart that vague dread that thou canst not define, but which nevertheless torments thee?
27852	_ Art thou fearful of the future?_ Is there in thy heart that vague dread that thou canst not define, but which nevertheless torments thee?
27852	_ Art thou resolved to avoid all occasions of sin?_ To renounce that which tempts thee; never again to open the book that excites thine imagination?
27852	_ Art thou resolved to avoid all occasions of sin?_ To renounce that which tempts thee; never again to open the book that excites thine imagination?
27852	_ Hast thou no promises to make to Me?_ I can read thy heart; thou knowest it; thou mayst deceive man, but thou canst never deceive God.
27852	_ Leave my friend always at liberty to think and act for himself in matters of little importance._ Why compel him to think and act with me?
27852	am I better?
27852	am I happier?
27852	and am I not willing to fulfil whatever I am advised in GOD''S Name to do for the future?
27852	can I never recall them?
27852	can not you see how the thought troubles and disquiets you?
27852	have you no mother?
27852	have you not GOD to prepare it for you, as tenderly as eighteen years ago your mother prepared your cradle?
27852	how can those live peacefully who never pray?
27852	however heavy may be the burden you have to bear, does it not at once become light beneath the gaze of that FATHER''S eye?
27852	if I try to please and imitate Thee thus, wilt Thou indeed bless me?
27852	is it because this word does not please you?
27852	no doubt the shame and grief are sharp and keen, but why need they disturb my peace of mind?
27852	then what more can I do, good angel, thus addressing me, what can I do to show my love to GOD?
27852	to thank?
27852	treated thee with contempt?
27852	what dost Thou require of me to- day?
27852	what matters then ingratitude, forgetfulness, contempt, and scorn?
27852	what wouldst thou do for them?
27852	when He says:_ Bear this, I am here to aid thee_; you will refuse?
27852	who can tell all that passes between the soul and its GOD?
27852	why always such seeking for some one to_ see_ me, to_ understand_,_ appreciate_,_ praise_ me?
27852	wounded thy self- love?
20711	And why not a sudden death, Sir John? 20711 And you ca n''t help being a little fond of him still?"
20711	But, Master Yeo, a sudden death?
20711	Can you tell me, my pastor, what part of God''s likeness clings to a man longest and closest and best? 20711 Eh?
20711	How can we become One? 20711 How do ye expect,"said Sandy,"ever to be happy, or strong, or a man at a'', as long as ye go on only looking to enjoy yersel--_yersel_?
20711	How then?
20711	Master,said St. John,"we saw one casting out devils in Thy name, and he followeth not us; wilt Thou that we forbid him?
20711	Most worshipful sir, you surely would not wish God_ not_ to have mercy on his soul?
20711	My welfare? 20711 No-- Eh?
20711	Then, my dear sir, if_ you_ feel for him still, in spite of all his faults, how do you know that God may not feel for him in spite of all his faults? 20711 What better can the Lord do for a man, than take him home when he has done his work?"
20711	And does not love teach us two things?
20711	And even now, in fasting and mortification, am I not sorrowing for my sin and for its dreary chastisement?
20711	And how did He keep it?
20711	And how_ deep_ is the Cross of Christ?
20711	And how_ high_ is Christ''s Cross?
20711	And if God honours His servants, shall not we honour them likewise?
20711	And if the heart answers impatiently,"My good?
20711	And our very griefs and disappointments-- have they been useless to us?
20711	And the verra idea of the modern tragedy, man conquering circumstance?
20711	And what do they do, these blessed beings?
20711	And what is the_ breadth_ of Christ''s Cross?
20711	And what is the_ length_ of Christ''s Cross?
20711	And who is He?
20711	Are there no more worlds?
20711	Are we more educated than were the ancient Greeks?
20711	Are we selfish?
20711	But Himself?
20711	But after all, what is speculation to practice?
20711	But shall I then despond and die?
20711	But what is true rest?
20711	But where?
20711	But why?
20711	Can there be a more glorious truth to carry out-- one which will lead us more into all love and beauty and purity in heaven and earth?
20711	Can we go wrong if we keep our Passion- week as Christ kept His?
20711	Christ''s cross says still, and will say to all Eternity,"Wouldst thou be good?
20711	Content or Happy?
20711	Dark, dark night, wilt thou never wear away?
20711	Death, beautiful, wise, kind Death, when will you come and tell me what I want to know?
20711	Do I mean, then, that this or any text has nothing to do with us?
20711	Do we indulge our passions?
20711	Do we neglect our duty?
20711	Do you wish Him to be any nearer?
20711	Does the age seem to you dark?
20711	Else why is there a resurrection of the body?
20711	Even fools long for a short life and a merry one, and shall not the Lord''s people pray for a short death and a merry one?
20711	Fond of him?
20711	Fools may hold fast to their scanty stock through life, and we must be very cautious in drawing them from it-- for where can they supply its place?
20711	For till then they can find no explanation of the three great human questions-- Where am I?
20711	For what more beautiful sight on earth than a young mother with her babe upon her knee?
20711	God''s Mercy or Man''s?
20711	Has our Lord Jesus Christ answered it, or has He not?
20711	Has the evil one touched this alone?
20711	Hatred and sin-- is not that hell itself, wherein dwells all that is opposed to God?
20711	He who has never loved, what does he know?
20711	Heaven and hell-- the spiritual world-- are they merely invisible places in space which may become visible hereafter?
20711	How can we attain to the blessed and noble state of mind-- the mind of Christ, who must needs be about His Father''s business, which is doing good?
20711	How did St. Paul look on his past life?
20711	How shall I get true knowledge?
20711	How shall we picture John the Baptist to ourselves?
20711	How was He, The blessed One, made perfect?
20711	However miraculous they may seem, are they so very much more so than the daily fact of memory?
20711	If a man is busy, and busy about his duty, what more does he require for time or for eternity?
20711	If we say simply,"I am wretched-- I ought to be wretched;"then we shall perhaps hear a voice,"Who made thee wretched but God?
20711	Is it merely a fancy that we are losing that love for Spring which among our old forefathers rose almost to worship?
20711	Is it not our business to bring it back to light and joy?
20711	Is it not self- conceit which makes us think the redemption of this earth the one event of eternity?
20711	Is no the verra idea of the classic tragedy defined to be man conquered by circumstance?
20711	Is not that a joy, a prize, which wealth can not give nor poverty take away?
20711	Is that a hard word?
20711	Is there a Holy One, whom I may contemplate with utter delight?
20711	Is there a living God in the universe, or is there not?
20711	Is there one such poor soul over whom Christ does not grieve?
20711	It is but pride and self- will which says,"Give me something huge to fight and I shall enjoy that-- but why make me sweep the dust?"
20711	Know ye not your God is with you, guiding with a Father''s hand?
20711	Knowledge which I shall know accurately and practically too, so that I can use it in daily life, for myself and others?
20711	Let me ask-- of what period of youth and manhood does it not hold true?
20711	Love and righteousness-- is not that the heaven itself wherein God dwells?
20711	Mackaye?"
20711	Man?
20711	May it not be so?
20711	May not they be near us though unseen?
20711	No?
20711	Religion or Godliness?
20711	Sacrifices to be made-- are there none now?
20711	Shall we therefore be dark too?
20711	That inborn delight of the young in all that is marvellous and fantastic-- has that a merely evil root?
20711	Then what can He mean but thy good?"
20711	There were daring deeds to be done then-- are there none now?

8534	A myriad homes,--a myriad ways,-- And God''s eye over every place?
8534	Am I acting in simplicity, from a germ of the Divine life within, or am I shaping my path to obtain some immediate result of expediency?
8534	Among so many, can He care?
8534	And am I what I am pretending?
8534	And doth not the love, the rest, the peace, the joy felt, swallow up all the bitterness and sorrow of the outward condition?
8534	And how shall we know this?
8534	And sound my word and thought the same?
8534	And what will thy heavenly Father do but what that father did in the parable?

8534	As to what may befall us outwardly, in this confused state of things, shall we not trust our tender Father, and rest satisfied in His will?
8534	Ask"What should I like myself, if I were hard- worked, or sick, or lonely?"

8534	Be quiet, soul: Why shouldst thou care and sadness borrow, Why sit in nameless fear and sorrow, The livelong day?
8534	Be quiet, why this anxious heed About thy tangled ways?
8534	Because you are forced to be outwardly inactive, do you think you, also, may not be, in your years of quiet,"about your Father''s business"?
8534	Because you are not sent out yet into your labor, do you think God has ceased to remember you?

8534	Bore I not helm of pride and glittering sword?
8534	But how will you find good?
8534	But let that love flow out upon all around you, and what could harm you?
8534	But shall we be less ready for these, if any of them are His appointments for to- day?
8534	But what says the Psalmist?

8534	December 21_ Hast thou not known?
8534	Did ever a man try heroism, magnanimity, truth, sincerity, and find that there was no advantage in them,--that it was a vain endeavor?
8534	Did you ever hear of a man who had striven all his life faithfully and singly toward an object and in no measure obtained it?
8534	Difficult enough, you think?
8534	Do thy steps drag heavily?
8534	Do we not already know that the name of the Infinite is GOOD, is GOD?
8534	Do you not see that a person who truly loves is one with the Infinite Being-- cannot be uncomfortable or unhappy?
8534	Does any one complain, that the best affections are transient visitors with him, and the heavenly spirit a stranger to his heart?
8534	Dost thou ask when comes His hour?
8534	For who is he that shall hinder thee from being good and simple?
8534	Have you ever thought seriously of the meaning of that blessing given to the peacemakers?
8534	His children,--how can he make the day sweeter to them?
8534	His wife,--what needs has she for help, for sympathy, that he can meet?
8534	How are you to attain self- control, if you shun all occasions of practising it?
8534	How can charity towards all men fail to follow, being the mere affectionateness of innocence and peace?
8534	How can we come to perceive this direct leading of God?
8534	How couldst thou hang upon the cross, To whom a weary hour is loss?
8534	How do you know what you may lose by neglecting this duty, which you think so trifling, or the blessing which its faithful performance may bring?
8534	How does our will become sanctified?
8534	How shall thou bear the cross that now So dread a weight appears?
8534	How shall we rest in God?
8534	I looked thereon with the eye of my understanding, and thought,"What may this be?"
8534	I would have you, one by one, ask yourselves, Wherein do I take up the cross daily?
8534	If He appoints me to wait in- doors to- day, am I to be annoyed because I am not to work out- of- doors?
8534	If He appoints me to work there, shall I lament that I am not to work here?
8534	If a man constantly aspires, is he not elevated?
8534	If thou canst not make thyself such an one as thou wouldest, how canst thou expect to have another in all things to thy liking?
8534	If we can not work out the will of God where God has placed us, then why has He placed us there?
8534	If we forget them not, shall they not remember us with God?
8534	If we have a cold heart towards a servant or a friend, why should we wonder if we have no fervor towards God?
8534	In"pastures green"?
8534	Is it Thy will that I should be in a public or a private condition, dwell here, or be banished, be poor or rich?
8534	Is it not His own precious treasure, and a small thing with Him to forgive thee thy trespasses, if thou believe in Him?
8534	Is it possible for any of us in these modern days to so live that we may walk with God?

8534	June 8_ Who hath despised the day of small things_?
8534	Know I what way my course is bending?
8534	Let us lift up our hearts and ask,"Lord, what wouldst thou have me to do?"
8534	May 5_ If thou hast run with the footmen, and they have wearied thee, then how canst thou contend with horses?
8534	Never delay To do the duty which the hour brings, Whether it be in great or smaller things; For who doth know What he shall do the coming day?
8534	November 30_ Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
8534	November 9_ Say not thou, I will hide myself from the Lord: shall any remember me from above?

8534	O God, what offering shall I give To Thee, the Lord of earth and skies?
8534	O Heavens, is it, in very deed, He then that ever speaks through thee; that lives and loves in thee, that lives and loves in me?
8534	O child, hast thou fallen?
8534	October 17_ Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord?
8534	Oh, ask not thou, How shall I bear The burden of to- morrow?
8534	Oh, how shall I, most gracious Lord, This mark of true perfection find?
8534	Oh, my friend, look not_ out_ at what stands in the way; what if it look dreadfully as a lion, is not the Lord stronger than the mountains of prey?
8534	Oh, my soul, why art thou vexed?
8534	Or how the thorns and scourging brook, Who shrinkest from a scornful look?
8534	September 15_ Can ye drink of the cup that I drink of?
8534	September 30_ Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle?
8534	Shall anything hurt us?
8534	Shall not the heart which has received so much, trust the Power by which it lives?
8534	Shall they forget us because they are"made perfect"?
8534	Shall they love us the less because they now have power to love us more?
8534	So here hath been dawning another blue day; Think, wilt thou let it slip useless away?
8534	So, whether on the hill- tops high and fair I dwell, or in the sunless valleys, where The shadows lie, what matter?
8534	Still heavy is thy heart?
8534	Still sink thy spirits down?
8534	Supposing that you were never to be set free from such trials, what would you do?
8534	Take Thy hand, and fears grow still; Behold Thy face, and doubts remove; Who would not yield his wavering will To perfect Truth and boundless Love?
8534	That Thy great love should shelter me, And guide my steps so tenderly Through every changing day?
8534	Thou knowest what is best; And who but Thee, O God, hath power to know?
8534	To whom?
8534	Unhappy am I, because this has happened to me?
8534	Was I not girded for the battle- field?
8534	What can come amiss to a soul which is so in accord with God?
8534	What can cross your will, when it is one with His will, on which all creation hangs, round which all things revolve?

8534	What can make so much as one jarring tone in all its harmony?
8534	What channel needs our faith, except the eyes?
8534	What duties have I left undone?
8534	What had she done?
8534	What have I done that''s worth the doing?
8534	What have I learnt where''er I''ve been, From all I''ve heard, from all I''ve seen?
8534	What have I sought that I should shun?
8534	What heart can comprehend Thy name, Or, searching, find Thee out?
8534	What if the wicked nature, which is as a sea casting out mire and dirt, rage against thee?
8534	What is Nature?
8534	What is fulness of joy but_ peace_?
8534	What is it that makes us unable to persevere?
8534	What is the thing that lies nearest to me?"

8534	What matter how miserable one is, if one can do that?
8534	What shall be our reward for loving our neighbor as ourselves in this life?
8534	What was the secret of such a one''s power?
8534	When did we ever set ourselves sincerely to any work according to the will of God, and fail for want of strength?
8534	When the shore is gained, who will heed the toil and the storm?

8534	Which of us feels or knows that he wants peace?
8534	Who art thou that complainest of thy life of toil?
8534	Who hath created these things-- that bringeth out their host by number?
8534	Why go about to grieve and to despair?
8534	Why is it that we are so busy with the future?
8534	Why make a real calamity of it by resistance?
8534	Why seek it afar forever, When it can not be lifted away?
8534	Why should I start at the plough of my Lord, that maketh deep furrows on my soul?
8534	Why should I vex myself because another hath vexed me?
8534	Why should we desire to meet difficulties prematurely, when we have neither strength nor light as yet provided for them?
8534	Why shouldst them fill to- day with sorrow About to- morrow, My heart?
8534	Why weep now through thy Future''s eyes, and bear In vain to- day to- morrow''s load of care?"
8534	Will not the same love which prompts you to give a good, prompt you to keep back an evil, thing?
8534	Will then this which has happened prevent thee from being just, magnanimous, temperate, prudent, secure against inconsiderate opinions and falsehood?

40482	Is it not thou that driedst up the sea, the waters of the great deep; that madest the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
40482	Is man responsible for that?
40482	Is not its solacing power a deceptive sleight of hand, by which our pleasing fancies and desires are made to look like truth?
40482	Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?
40482	Is not this always the right missionary method?
40482	Is not this the carpenter''s son?
40482	Is one perplexed that God, who is invisible, should be pictured in the similitude of human persons?
40482	Is the God of such a universe to be conceived in terms of a magnified man?
40482	Is there any doubt, then, what we most believe in when we are at our best?
40482	Is there not a thin veil laid over Thy Word, which is more rarified by reading, and at last wholly worn away?
40482	It is high as heaven; what canst thou do?
40482	It may be false, but will you wish it true?
40482	Jehovah is the strength of my life; Of whom shall I be afraid?
40482	Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens?
40482	Met with derision by a doubter, as though his experience were no proof at all, how shall he proceed?
40482	Moses cries:"Lord, wherefore hast thou dealt ill with this people?
40482	Music once had stirred the depths, but now our spirits tally with the scoffer''s jest,"What are you crying about with your Wagner and your Brahms?
40482	O, what means this strange bewilderment, this never- ending war between our worse and better thoughts?
40482	One need only read such books of his as"Can the Old Faith Live with the New?"
40482	Or canst thou guide the Bear with her train?
40482	Or who hath given understanding to the mind?
40482	Out of what, then, did the Master make his apostles?
40482	Plenty of folk of elevated character and admirable lives grant, sometimes impatiently, that the Christian faith is beautiful-- but is it_ so_?
40482	Preachers delight to illustrate their thought of God with figures drawn from nature''s invisible energies--"Who has seen the wind?
40482	Said the other, seeing how little this negation solved the problem,"Well, what_ is_ it that ai n''t?"
40482	Saved from what?
40482	Saved from_ what_?
40482	Says Oliver Wendell Holmes,"Did you ever happen to see that most soft- spoken and velvet- handed steam- engine at the Mint?
40482	Shall the practical unserviceableness of such an idea for the purpose of life, awaken no suspicion as to its truth?
40482	Shall they quarrel because they do not all come alike?
40482	Stevenson sings in"the saddest and the bravest song he ever wrote":"God, if this were faith?...
40482	Such folk want to believe in God, but-- can they?
40482	The curious"Why?"
40482	The further our thought proceeds the more clear it becomes that the question is not, shall we have churches?
40482	The question is rather-- By what faiths shall we live?
40482	Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee hungry, and fed thee?
40482	There man enquires,"Canst thou by searching find out God?
40482	They may not dare to say what James Thomson did, but they think it--"Who is most wretched in this dolorous place?
40482	They might easily steady their hearts to endure and overcome, were only one question''s answer clear-- is there any_ sense_ in life''s suffering?
40482	They said therefore unto him, What must we do, that we may work the works of God?
40482	They stand rather like unconverted Gideon, facing backwards and lamenting,"Where are all his wondrous works which our fathers told us of?"
40482	Third Week, Sixth Day= For when one saith, I am of Paul; and another, I am of Apollos; are ye not men?
40482	Thou art turned to be cruel to me; With the might of thy hand thou persecutest me....== Did not I weep for him that was in trouble?
40482	To many such, were candor courteous, one would wish to say: Saved?
40482	To one in perplexity about belief, this proper question therefore rises: What do we think about the Christlike character?
40482	Was not my soul grieved for the needy?
40482	Was such clemency an occasion for lax character?
40482	Was this Thyself, and have we turned from Thee?
40482	What could such a mind understand of modern science''s faith in the universal regularity of law?
40482	What is a pebble?
40482	What is a sunset?
40482	What range and depth and quality shall they have?
40482	What recourse is there in such a case?
40482	What then is Apollos?
40482	What unto me is the multitude of your sacrifices?
40482	What wonder that inexpressible devotion has been felt for him by all his people?
40482	What wonder that the physicist acknowledged to a friend that the retort nettled him, for he did not see just how to answer it?
40482	Whatever, therefore, affects_ that_ is his concern, and what is there that does not affect it?
40482	When has man ever found solid knowledge in this most important realm of human possibilities, without faith as the pioneer?
40482	When our father Abraham offered his son Isaac on the altar, was he not justified by what he did?"
40482	When we pray we say"Our Father"; when we seek our duty we ask,"What wilt thou have me to do?"
40482	When ye come to appear before me, who hath required this at your hand, to trample my courts?
40482	Whence then hath this man all these things?
40482	Where does the restlessness in nature have its source?
40482	Where, then, have the men of faith found the immovable center of their confidence?
40482	Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread?
40482	Whether is all- God or occasional God the nobler theory?"
40482	Which of the two did the will of his father?
40482	Who can avoid seeing the patent contrast between the Father of Jesus and the Creator of such a world?
40482	Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
40482	Who does not sometimes fall into the Slough of Despond?
40482	Who has seen the wind?
40482	Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts?
40482	Whom have I in heaven but thee?
40482	Why hidest thou thy face from me?"
40482	Why now, and no sooner, did I see it?
40482	Why, therefore, should we wonder that his disciples at their best have called Jesus divine?
40482	Wilt thou indeed be unto me as a deceitful brook, as waters that fail?"
40482	With what accuracy his fingers travel the keys, who can tell?
40482	Would not the sixteenth chapter of Romans have a similar effect on those who read it?
40482	You believe in one God?
40482	_ Are we to trust for our guidance the testimony of our worse or better hours?_ We have low moods; so, too, we have cellars in our houses.
40482	_ But it does mean that to him reality must be fundamentally spiritual, not physical._ What other hypothesis possibly can fit the facts?
40482	_ Is yours the only heart where God is to be found?
40482	_ O Thou who art of purer eyes than to behold iniquity, canst Thou bear to look on us conscious of our great transgression?
40482	and his brethren, James, and Joseph, and Simon, and Judas?
40482	and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard?
40482	and how shall they hear without a preacher?
40482	and how shall they preach, except they be sent?
40482	and what is Paul?
40482	and where is the fury of the oppressor?
40482	and wherein have I wearied thee?
40482	and your labor for that which satisfieth not?
40482	but if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received it?"
40482	but rather, since churches are inevitable, of what sort shall they be?
40482	hast thou not heard?
40482	is not his mother called Mary?
40482	or athirst, and gave thee drink?
40482	or naked, and clothed thee?
40482	or who hath been his counsellor?
40482	or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
40482	or, What shall we drink?
40482	or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
40482	shall I come before him with burnt- offerings, with calves a year old?
40482	when will the church to which I belong in heart rise into being?
40482	will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil?
23241	Do ye not remember the miracle of the loaves?
23241	Do ye not remember the miracle of the loaves?
23241	Gethsemane can I forget?
23241	Has He been seen of thee also?
23241	He has promised, and shall He not do it?
23241	He may not need us; but does He want us?
23241	How many loaves have ye?
23241	I will make thee,saith the Lord,"and shall He not do it?"
23241	If God be for us, who can be against us?
23241	Know ye not that ye are the body?
23241	Know ye not that your bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit?
23241	Lord, how oft shall I forgive? 23241 Lovest thou Me?"
23241	O death, where is thy sting? 23241 Said I not unto thee that, if thou wouldst believe, thou shouldst see the glory of God?"
23241	Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or did others tell it thee of Me?
23241	The Lord is on my side, whom shall I fear?
23241	The Lord is on my side, whom shall I fear?
23241	The bruised reed--is it the impaired musical reed, that can not now emit a musical sound, and can only be thrown away?

23241	Who is he that overcometh... but he that believeth?
23241	Who is made to stumble, and I burn not?
23241	Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
23241	_ And He made a scourge of cords._And is this"the Lamb of God"?
23241	_ And the life was the light of men._And what did He not light up?
23241	_ And when He rose up from His prayer_--what then?
23241	_ Are ye able to drink of the cup that I drink of?_They wanted to be the King''s cup- bearers; He offers them to drink of His cup.
23241	_ Art thou willing_ to be made whole?
23241	_ I dwell with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit._And who are the contrite?
23241	_ My God, My God, why hast Thou forsaken Me?_In that agonizing cry I am led to the real heart of the atonement.
23241	_ My sheep wandered... and none did seek after them._How can we seek them if we have never missed them, if we have no sense that they are lost?
23241	_ Wilt Thou not revive us again?_It is the next step in the returning spring.
23241	_ Your old men shall dream dreams._And what shall they dream about?
23241	31- 39. Who can get between the love of Christ and me?
23241	31- 39. Who else is worth naming?
23241	A day is of immeasurable preciousness, for what high accomplishment may it not witness?

23241	Am I an evil leaven, like the Pharisees, or a holy leaven like the Lord?
23241	Am I moving toward the time when nothing shall be particularly hallowed because all will be sanctified?
23241	Am I rich in these things or pathetically poor?
23241	Am I the nutriment of vice or the sustenance of virtue?
23241	Am I thus concerned only with a small section of Jerusalem, or does my intercession sweep the entire city?
23241	And did He shut Himself up with the Father?
23241	And do I remember her perils, especially those parts of her walls where the defences are very thin, and can be easily broken through?
23241	And do I sufficiently remember my own providences,"_ all the way my God has led me_"?
23241	And do I sufficiently remember that I, too, am making history for my fellows who shall succeed me?
23241	And doth my Lord call me one of His brethren?
23241	And how about places?
23241	And how can I attain unto this spiritual delight?
23241	And how do we recover our lost estate?
23241	And how does the Lord comfort us?
23241	And how is it with me?
23241	And how must he take heed?
23241	And how shall we expect the sentence to finish?
23241	And how will He guide us?
23241	And in what shall their blessedness consist?
23241	And is it not well, for thee and me, that our Lord is thus fiercely hostile to our sins?
23241	And is the_ entire_ Jerusalem the subject of my supplication?
23241	And what does it sing about?
23241	And what if that Companion be God?
23241	And what is this?
23241	And what is to be the spirit of the surgeon?
23241	And what shall I think of men who are contented to"search the Scriptures"and"will not come"to the Lord?
23241	And what sort of meat is this?

23241	And what will He say to the externalist?
23241	And when the red stain has soaked into the very texture of the character, and every fibre is stupefied, what can we do then?
23241	And where is he to get it?
23241	And who is to be the surgeon?
23241	And yet what is the quality of our faith?
23241	And"if God is for us, who can be against us?"
23241	And( shall I reverently say it?)
23241	And, therefore, everyone may apply a clinical test to his own life:"What is the character of my speech?
23241	Are my ecclesiastical sympathies large enough to include"outsiders"from afar?
23241	Are my foes able to maim my spirit as well as my body?
23241	Are my intercessions private enclosures, intended only for the select among my friends?
23241	Are the six days of the week becoming increasingly like the seventh, until people can see no difference between my Monday manners and my Sunday mood?
23241	Are they spoken in faith?
23241	Art thou afraid to"lift high His royal banner"?
23241	Before all the doubts and hesitancies of man enable me to answer,"Have I not seen Jesus Christ our Lord?"
23241	But can I share his witness,"_ I know that my Redeemer liveth_"?
23241	But how are we to love the Lord?
23241	But how can we become"children of light,"holy homes of protective and saving radiance?
23241	But is it not a strange thing that men can be"at ease in Zion"?
23241	But is this God''s way of dealing with His people?
23241	But what is a man to do who has got a perverted palate, and who calls sweet things bitter and bitter things sweet?
23241	But where shall we get the love wherewith to make our enemy lovely?
23241	But why"_ follow_"me?
23241	Can He afford to lose a soul?
23241	Can He communicate with the world through me?
23241	Can I be trusted?
23241	Can I confidently give thanks before I receive the gifts of God, before the dish- covers are removed?
23241	Can I trust Him?
23241	Can I, too, calmly and confidently claim the experience?
23241	Can we think of a more beautiful figure than this--"_children of light_"?
23241	Could He not have rent the heavens and sent His ministers of calamity and disasters?
23241	Could He not have sent fire from heaven?
23241	Could any two things be in greater contrast than a worm and an instrument with teeth?
23241	Could anything be more tenderly gracious than this figure of hiding under the shadow of God''s wings?
23241	Could there be a sweeter chime than the opening music of this psalm?
23241	DECEMBER The Fifteenth_ WHAT IS MY TENDENCY?_"_ Whether we live, we live unto_...."--ROMANS xiv.
23241	Did He use it that He might reveal its ugliness, and so banish it from human speech?
23241	Did I need them?
23241	Did I want them?...
23241	Did they want to make Him a King?
23241	Did you need it?...
23241	Did you want it?"
23241	Do I carry her on my heart?
23241	Do I do it before I begin to live the day?
23241	Do I ever open the door to anyone outside my family circle?
23241	Do I exercise a sensitive and sanctified imagination, and enter somewhat into the pangs of their cravings?
23241	Do I praise God for her heritage, and for her endowment of spiritual glory?
23241	Do I reverently listen to the"great voice behind me"?
23241	Do I share the compassion of the Lord?
23241	Do I sufficiently remember the witness of history?
23241	Do I"learn wisdom"from experience?
23241	Do my sympathies remain confined within my cedar walls, or do they go out to God''s neglected ones in every land and clime?
23241	Do they comprehend my brother''s good as well as my own?
23241	Do they go forth in great expectancy?
23241	Do they just contain our own families, or is China in them, and India, and"the uttermost parts of the earth"?
23241	Do they win their end by making me a smaller man?
23241	Does it range over mighty spaces seeking benedictions for a multitude?
23241	Does my discipleship multiply His powers of expression?
23241	Does my discipleship offer my Lord a limb?
23241	Does that seem a weak ending to a powerful beginning?
23241	For how else can we cast out evil?
23241	For is there any murderer so destructive as carnality?
23241	For what is the kingdom?
23241	For what song can there be where there is languor and fainting?
23241	Grim and full of warning, like the pillar of salt, or winsome and full of heartiness, like some"sweet Ebenezer"built by life''s way?
23241	H. P. FAUNCE, D.D._ What Does Christianity Mean?
23241	Has He more eyes, more ears, more hands because I am a member of His Church?
23241	Has he any place at all?
23241	Has that great word been spoken concerning me in the Father''s home of light?
23241	Have I a calm assurance that my ruler is not caprice, and that my comings and goings are not determined by unfeeling chance?
23241	Have I never preferred him, and sent my Lord to be"crucified afresh,"and"put Him to an open shame"?
23241	Have I not sometimes heard the phrase--"He''s just a lump of pride"?
23241	Have we been so busy with our preparations, so concerned with many things, and everybody, that we have forgotten our greatest possible Ally?
23241	Here is a sentence which describes the anger of the Apostle Paul:"Who is made to stumble and I burn not?"
23241	How big are they?
23241	How can the Lord sit down at such a table, or make One at such a fireside?
23241	How can they when the apportionment is so perverse, when everything is topsy- turvy?
23241	How can we deal with glaring sin, with sin that is"scarlet,"that is"red like crimson"?
23241	How can we gain this disposition of love?
23241	How could it be otherwise?
23241	How do I regard them?
23241	How do they lose it?
23241	How do we complete the sentence?
23241	How does it fit me for ordinary affairs?
23241	How does my life trend when it touches my brother?
23241	How has it all come about?
23241	How is he influenced by my example?
23241	How is it with our love?
23241	How is it with our prayers?
23241	How much bird- music is heard in the chambers of my heart?
23241	How much does anybody count?
23241	How much grace can our unbelief withstand?
23241	How much is it ready to spend?
23241	How much pure laughter rings in my life?
23241	How much will it bleed?
23241	How shall we touch this lovely psalm and not bruise it?
23241	How we impoverish ourselves by separating these precious gifts from their Giver?
23241	How will He do it?
23241	How will He let me know which path to take?
23241	How, then, shall we live to- day in prospect of the eternal morrow?
23241	How?
23241	I am a Congregationalist; do I remember the Anglican?
23241	I am an Anglican; do I remember the Quaker?
23241	I dwell in England, but what about the folk on the Congo?
23241	I dwell in a land of ample religious freedom, but what about Armenia?
23241	I lay the coping- stone, but who turned the first sod?
23241	I lead the water into new ministries, but who first dug the well?
23241	I said to the good man who lived in it,"Can you see the castle?"
23241	I wonder if I have the manner of a king''s son?
23241	I wonder if there is anything in my very"walk"which indicates distinguished lineage and royal blood?
23241	I wonder if this word"dogs"was my Saviour''s word, or had He picked it up from the disciples that He might cast it away again for ever?
23241	I yearn for"the flesh- pots,""He sends me manna,""Was there ever kindest shepherd half so gentle, half so sweet?"
23241	If one golden promise had turned out to be counterfeit, how then?
23241	If the sun be on my side, why should I be dismayed at any icy obstacle that may rear itself in my way?
23241	If two men are at the wheel with opposing notions of direction and destiny, how will it fare with the boat?

23241	In what direction are we living?
23241	In what way does he move because of the impact of my example?
23241	Is God on the field, taking sides with us?
23241	Is He therefore looking for thee and me?
23241	Is He therefore looking for thee or me?
23241	Is He therefore seeking thee or me?
23241	Is it a thing of the tent or of the sky?

23241	Is mine?
23241	Is not this"consuming fire"the friend of my soul?
23241	Is the note of praise to be found in the streets of my soul?
23241	Is there any reasonable ground for assuming that they can accomplish anything?
23241	Is there not therefore something half- ironical in our Saviour''s use of the word?
23241	Is this my way?
23241	Is thy place empty?

23241	Supposing one word had failed, how then?
