10393 | What of that? |
10393 | What the matter? |
10393 | But-- and many a night we sat for hours and planned and talked and wondered--_how_ were we to meet the expense? |
10393 | If older and wiser heads suggested the possibility of danger, we produced our plans on paper, and asked them from whence could trouble come? |
10393 | Where was a quick market for a poor newspaper man''s wares? |
49479 | Any of you fellows want to fight? |
49479 | Anything happening? |

49479 | Are you digging a garden? |
49479 | Are you going to Atlantic City? |
49479 | Ca n''t you get through? |
49479 | Have you seen him yet-- the Man Silhouette? |
49479 | How,I said,"can you have the heart to dump$ 52.80 into my cellar without ceremony? |
49479 | I wonder what is the trouble? |
49479 | My dear,I said,"if you had quarreled and if you were making up on a moonlight night, would you bother about wasting kilowatts of electricity?" |
49479 | That Man Silhouette,I said at breakfast;"did you see him last night after the-- er-- incident on the blinds?" |
49479 | Trouble? |
49479 | Well-- er-- what''s this got to do with moonlight? |
49479 | What have you got? |
49479 | What''s that? |
49479 | What''s the matter with the soil? |
49479 | Why do n''t you take it easy? |
49479 | Why will you raise pigeons? |
49479 | Would you shoot a burglar? |
49479 | Am I right?" |
49479 | Atlantic City, boardwalk, red hot sun, skinny bathers, flies in the dining- room, at$ 7 a day? |
49479 | But what gets me is, how on earth did Murphy ever maneuver the big chair with the green upholstery into the house at all? |
49479 | Ca n''t we let you have the piano at the end of your three months, to move away to your future home, as an expression of good will?" |
49479 | Ca n''t we remove the roof and build a little nursery for the baby, and rig you up a rainy- weather playroom in the basement? |
49479 | Do I look easy? |
49479 | For instance, shall I tell you of the time I astonished Campbell? |
49479 | Has n''t a fellow a right to whistle and sing when he comes home from foraging and finds the lady bird dancing around the new nest? |
49479 | How was this one? |
49479 | I looked up and around, tried all the valves, hammered on the wall, and then yelled to my wife:"What''s the matter with the water?" |
49479 | I said;"and where did you learn that?" |
49479 | Is n''t it just too dear for anything for us to have a whole week of fun fixing up around the house? |
49479 | Oh, well, what''s the use? |
49479 | Quien Sabe? |
49479 | So you''ve been keeping cases, eh?" |
49479 | Ten minutes later my wife said:"I wonder if the belt has slipped off down at the power house?" |
49479 | When you get that done you can put up some shelves for me in the fruit pantry, and why do n''t you arrange your books to- day? |
49479 | Why a preface-- a foreword? |
49479 | Why any comment, save the title and the price mark? |
49479 | Why should the transportation of two letters change a notebook into a milk foundry? |
49479 | and get a seven- cent flat rate on a six months''contract?" |
39554 | ''"Is your name,"she said quite eagerly,--"is your name-- your first name''Jack''?" |
39554 | ''"Strangeness,"''Taisy repeated, while Geordie and I looked up in surprise,--''strangeness, with his own master holding him?'' |
39554 | ''A gypsy,''mamma exclaimed in great surprise;''how has she managed to get inside the grounds? |
39554 | ''And did Aunt Emmeline know about it?'' |
39554 | ''And getting shot by mistake for a rabbit?'' |
39554 | ''And how long may you stay?'' |
39554 | ''Are we to have two?'' |
39554 | ''Are you thinking of papa?'' |
39554 | ''But what do you want to see me for?'' |
39554 | ''But why did you, then?'' |
39554 | ''But, my child,''said she,''where----''''Where are you going to put me?'' |
39554 | ''But, my dear child, I must interrupt you,''said papa smiling,''before you go on to the"bits,"do tell us what the whole is?'' |
39554 | ''But,''said Geordie,''you''re forgetting the servants?'' |
39554 | ''Did she not wake you then?'' |
39554 | ''Did she say how she got into the grounds?'' |
39554 | ''Did you know of it, then?'' |
39554 | ''Did you make a voyage together?'' |
39554 | ''Did you meet on board ship, do you mean?'' |
39554 | ''Do n''t you think it was still cleverer of me to remember his name?'' |
39554 | ''Does he know about-- about our having to leave Eastercove?'' |
39554 | ''GEORDIE STOOD UP AND WAVED HIS CAP''52 V.''WHAT_ CAN_ SHE MEAN?'' |
39554 | ''Geordie,''I said at last,''what are you staring at so? |
39554 | ''Has it anything to do with the boy? |
39554 | ''Has the railway frightened him?'' |
39554 | ''How can I tell?'' |
39554 | ''How did the gypsy get through the lodge gates?'' |
39554 | ''How did you get through the gates?'' |
39554 | ''How have you managed to get together all that?'' |
39554 | ''How quietly you came,''I said;''and oh, mamma,_ does n''t_ it remind you of_ Les Ailes de Courage_?'' |
39554 | ''I ca n''t shake hands, Taisy-- but how are you?'' |
39554 | ''I do so like it, but-- didn''t you say-- something about papa-- and you and the sea, being mixed up?'' |
39554 | ''IT''S DREADFUL, ISN''T IT?'' |
39554 | ''Ida,''he said at last,''what are you thinking of? |
39554 | ''Ida,''said Geordie after a bit,''it''s dreadful, is n''t it?'' |
39554 | ''Is he so nervous?'' |
39554 | ''Is it all right?'' |
39554 | ''Is it big enough to hold both Denny and me together?'' |
39554 | ''Is it some one else coming to stay with us? |
39554 | ''Is it-- oh, is it, anything wrong with papa?'' |
39554 | ''It''ll be worse for us and for mamma than for papa, wo n''t it, Dods?'' |
39554 | ''It_ is_ cosy, is n''t it, mamma?'' |
39554 | ''Let me see which are the smallest, to take up the least room? |
39554 | ''Mamma need not say,"_ Among_ you, will he be looked after?"'' |
39554 | ''Mamma, do n''t you think he need n''t have said that?'' |
39554 | ''May I go with you when you do? |
39554 | ''May n''t I come with you, mamma?'' |
39554 | ''May we not join Mrs. Trevor on the terrace, for I suppose it is there you are sitting?'' |
39554 | ''My dearest child,''she said,''what_ is_ the matter? |
39554 | ''My dears,''she said, addressing everybody as far as I could make out,''will some of you disentangle me? |
39554 | ''Of course about a balloon is quite a joke, is n''t it?'' |
39554 | ''Shall I send some one to see you through the lodge gates?'' |
39554 | ''Shall we not have_ any_ servants then?'' |
39554 | ''That is n''t all, is it, mamma?'' |
39554 | ''The dog is_ not_ mad then? |
39554 | ''Then the young lady''s?'' |
39554 | ''Then, do you mean that you want me to go with you when you call on the Trevors, mamma?'' |
39554 | ''Then,''said mamma,''you had no sort of idea that the thing was the least possible?'' |
39554 | ''Unless,''said Geordie slowly,--''unless you would let me really camp out, mamma? |
39554 | ''Was Esmé to have come again?'' |
39554 | ''Was he chained up? |
39554 | ''Was she?'' |
39554 | ''We were coming to see you all,''said Miss Trevor smiling;''do you think your mother is at home and disengaged?'' |
39554 | ''Well,''began Geordie, after we were all seated comfortably at the table,''what is the interesting thing you have to tell about, Ida? |
39554 | ''What are you all about?'' |
39554 | ''What are you so sure about?'' |
39554 | ''What can that be?'' |
39554 | ''What can that be?'' |
39554 | ''What do you want to see me for?'' |
39554 | ''What is it, my little girl?'' |
39554 | ''What''s his name, Rolf?'' |
39554 | ''What_ can_ she mean?'' |
39554 | ''When will you ask about the parish room?'' |
39554 | ''Where are you going, Ida?'' |
39554 | ''Where shall we go?'' |
39554 | ''Who can have done it?'' |
39554 | ''Why does n''t he let him go? |
39554 | ''Will the people who are coming to live here have the hut too?'' |
39554 | ''Yes,''said mamma, glancing again at her letter;''but you know Rolf?'' |
39554 | ''You do n''t mean to say that your tea- things at the hut are all broken?'' |
39554 | ''You lazy little beggar, why do n''t you get up and go for a run? |
39554 | After that it would have been impossible to go on being vexed with any one, would n''t it? |
39554 | And Esmé''s just a----''''A what?'' |
39554 | And the curious, mingled sort of light in the room, faint and dreamy, though clear too, made me think to myself,''The sun is saying,"How do you do?" |
39554 | And the little ones too, Ida?'' |
39554 | And very likely, Doddie, things_ will_ get broken, more than----''''What are you talking about, my dear child?'' |
39554 | Another still smaller wild beast of some kind, or what? |
39554 | Are they not beginning to take away the iron room already?'' |
39554 | Boys, is there a gun about the place?'' |
39554 | But I wonder who the new one coming can be?'' |
39554 | But mother is quite strong except for rheumatism, and really who_ could_ have rheumatism in this dry, fragrant air? |
39554 | But now,''and she held out her hand,''you will let me tell your lines? |
39554 | But there''s one point you''ve forgotten, Ida, and mamma too, have n''t you?--where is this wonderful chair affair to be kept?'' |
39554 | But, auntie-- I was going to tell you all about it to- day-- you believe me, do n''t you?'' |
39554 | CHAPTER V''WHAT_ CAN_ SHE MEAN?'' |
39554 | Can he have broken loose?'' |
39554 | Did balloons come in vans, and what had we to do with them? |
39554 | Did n''t you hear the rattling, Mr. Trevor-- didn''t you see--_this_?'' |
39554 | Do you dislike this boy-- what is his name-- oh yes, Rolf-- Rolf Dacre-- that she writes about?'' |
39554 | For you would be very sorry not to go on with Mr. Lloyd-- wouldn''t you, Dods?'' |
39554 | Has he bitten you?'' |
39554 | How can you imagine such a thing? |
39554 | How would that do? |
39554 | I could rig up a little tent, or-- I would n''t much mind sleeping in Barnes''s hut?'' |
39554 | I do n''t think I shall mind that part of it so_ very_ much, Dods-- shall you?'' |
39554 | I exclaimed, horrified,''where_ did_ you learn anything so vulgar--"last Sunday as ever was"? |
39554 | I forget if I said that we happened to be in the middle of our Easter holidays just then, which was most lucky, was it not? |
39554 | I was velly neely drowned, was n''t I? |
39554 | I-- I only bought him this morning from the keeper at Millings-- you know Millings?'' |
39554 | If----''''If what?'' |
39554 | Is he quite good with strangers?'' |
39554 | Is he your son, or your grandson?'' |
39554 | Is it any use beginning before papa and mamma come down, do you think?'' |
39554 | Is it anything particular?'' |
39554 | Is your inspiration the old parish room? |
39554 | It''s the jolliest thing you ever saw, Dods-- isn''t it, mamma? |
39554 | Might n''t you perhaps gain a scholarship, or whatever you call them, that would make school cost less?'' |
39554 | Oh,_ do n''t_ you wish, Ida, we could live here always?'' |
39554 | Rolf by this time was saying:''Will you introduce me to your cousins? |
39554 | Shall we sit down here a little? |
39554 | Soldier,"she said,"will you tell me your name, so that mamma can write to thank you?" |
39554 | That does sound very''Irish,''does it not? |
39554 | The iron room they want to get rid of? |
39554 | The only thing is-- Why did you not unmask yourself at once? |
39554 | There is n''t really very much more to do, is there? |
39554 | There might be a partitioned- off little room for me, and a large curtain might do to separate mamma from you and Esmé?'' |
39554 | They smiled at us very kindly, and papa said in what he meant to be a cheery voice--''Well, young people, what have you been about? |
39554 | This sounds rather hard upon him, does n''t it, considering he was fully a year younger than she? |
39554 | Was n''t it sweet of her to think that? |
39554 | Was n''t that nice of him? |
39554 | Well, one morning, ever so long ago, as I said----''''Do you mean fifty years ago, or a hundred perhaps?'' |
39554 | What could he mean? |
39554 | What was it? |
39554 | What was it?'' |
39554 | What would mamma say if she heard you?'' |
39554 | What_ do_ you think it is? |
39554 | Where can they all be, I wonder?'' |
39554 | Where_ could_ we put any one?'' |
39554 | Will you ever forgive me? |
39554 | Will you join us at our schoolroom tea and forgive its being rather a scramble after all this upset?'' |
39554 | You and papa will come and have tea there, wo n''t you? |
39554 | _ Is_ it nonsense, Ida, about men and boys never thinking about their clothes? |
39554 | _ What''s the use?_''''Oh, Dods! |
43936 | Am I really wonderful? |
43936 | And are n''t you? |
43936 | And back to Kansas? |
43936 | And now,said Dorothy,"how am I to get back to Kansas?" |
43936 | And she let you go again? |
43936 | And what became of them? |
43936 | And why is that? |
43936 | Are n''t they beautiful? |
43936 | Are there any other lions in this forest? |
43936 | Are there many of these mice which call you Queen and are willing to obey you? |
43936 | Are you a Munchkin? |
43936 | Are you going? |
43936 | Are you not a great Wizard? |
43936 | Are you not going to make them your slaves? |
43936 | Are you sure that Oz will see you? |
43936 | But could n''t you be mended? |
43936 | But how about my courage? |
43936 | But how about the voice? |
43936 | But is it a kind heart? |
43936 | But is n''t everything here green? |
43936 | But suppose we can not? |
43936 | But this is terrible,said the Tin Woodman;"how shall I ever get my heart?" |
43936 | Ca n''t you get down? |
43936 | Ca n''t you give me brains? |
43936 | Can you tell us where the Emerald City is? |
43936 | Certainly,answered the Scarecrow;"how do you do?" |
43936 | Did n''t you know water would be the end of me? |
43936 | Did you groan? |
43936 | Did you speak? |
43936 | Do n''t you suppose we could rescue them? |
43936 | Do you not see us? |
43936 | Do you think Oz could give me courage? |
43936 | Do you think,he asked,"If I go to the Emerald City with you, that the great Oz would give me some brains?" |
43936 | Does he never go out? |
43936 | Does n''t anyone else know you''re a humbug? |
43936 | Glinda is a good Witch, is n''t she? |
43936 | Have you any? |
43936 | Have you brains? |
43936 | How about my heart? |
43936 | How can I cross the desert? |
43936 | How can I get there? |
43936 | How can I get to her castle? |
43936 | How can I help being a humbug,he said,"when all these people make me do things that everybody knows ca n''t be done? |
43936 | How do you feel now? |
43936 | How do you feel? |
43936 | How far is it to the Castle of Glinda? |
43936 | How far is it to the Emerald City? |
43936 | How long will it be,the child asked of the Tin Woodman,"before we are out of the forest?" |
43936 | How shall we cross the river? |
43936 | How shall we get down? |
43936 | How was it that you appeared to me as a great Head? |
43936 | How, then, are we to find her? |
43936 | How? |
43936 | How? |
43936 | I never killed anything, willingly,she sobbed;"and even if I wanted to, how could I kill the Wicked Witch? |
43936 | I''m pretty well, thank you,replied Dorothy, politely;"how do you do?" |
43936 | If I put an end to your enemy will you bow down to me and obey me as King of the Forest? |
43936 | Is he a good man? |
43936 | Is he made of tin, or stuffed? |
43936 | Is he stuffed? |
43936 | Is he tame? |
43936 | Is n''t it a beauty? |
43936 | Is the Wicked Witch really destroyed? |
43936 | Is there anything we can do,it asked,"to repay you for saving the life of our Queen?" |
43936 | Is there no one who can help me? |
43936 | Of course not,answered Dorothy;"how should I?" |
43936 | Or I my brains? |
43936 | Or I my courage? |
43936 | Really? |
43936 | This is strange,exclaimed Dorothy;"what shall we do?" |
43936 | To be sure they could,cried the Scarecrow;"why did n''t we think of that before?" |
43936 | Well, then, what can be done? |
43936 | What are the Kalidahs? |
43936 | What are your commands? |
43936 | What can I do for you, my child? |
43936 | What can I do for you? |
43936 | What can we do to save him? |
43936 | What can we do, then? |
43936 | What did you say? |
43936 | What do you wish? |
43936 | What is he like? |
43936 | What is it? |
43936 | What is it? |
43936 | What is that? |
43936 | What is that? |
43936 | What is your trouble? |
43936 | What makes you a coward? |
43936 | What must I do? |
43936 | What promise? |
43936 | What shall we do now? |
43936 | What shall we do now? |
43936 | What shall we do now? |
43936 | What shall we do? |
43936 | What shall we do? |
43936 | What was that? |
43936 | When shall we start? |
43936 | Where did you get the mark upon your forehead? |
43936 | Where is Kansas? |
43936 | Where is he? |
43936 | Where is the Emerald City? |
43936 | Where is this City? |
43936 | Where is this great spider of yours now? |
43936 | Which road leads to the Wicked Witch of the West? |
43936 | Who are the Munchkins? |
43936 | Who are the Wizards? |
43936 | Who are you, and where are you going? |
43936 | Who are you, and why do you seek me? |
43936 | Who are you? |
43936 | Who are you? |
43936 | Who is Aunt Em? |
43936 | Who is Glinda? |
43936 | Who melted her? |
43936 | Who will go first? |
43936 | Why are those needles and pins sticking out of your head? |
43936 | Why did n''t you walk around the hole? |
43936 | Why do n''t you run and jump? |
43936 | Why do you have to obey the charm of the Golden Cap? |
43936 | Why do you want water? |
43936 | Why do you wish to see Oz? |
43936 | Why not? |
43936 | Why should I do this for you? |
43936 | Why should I do this for you? |
43936 | Why should I do this? |
43936 | Why should I give you courage? |
43936 | Why, do n''t you know? |
43936 | Why? |
43936 | Why? |
43936 | Will you take me to her? |
43936 | Wo n''t they hurt me? |
43936 | Wo n''t you go with me? |
43936 | Wo n''t you tell me a story, while we are resting? |
43936 | A woman opened it just far enough to look out, and said,"What do you want, child, and why is that great Lion with you?" |
43936 | Among them was the Queen herself, who asked, in her squeaky little voice,"What can I do for my friends?" |
43936 | As Dorothy entered they looked at her curiously, and one of them whispered,"Are you really going to look upon the face of Oz the Terrible?" |
43936 | At this the Queen of the Mice stuck her head out from a clump of grass and asked, in a timid voice,"Are you sure he will not bite us?" |
43936 | But how can I help it?" |
43936 | But tell me, is it a civilized country?" |
43936 | But what do you want?" |
43936 | But what shall we do?" |
43936 | But, comrades, what shall we do now?" |
43936 | Can you help me find my way?" |
43936 | Dorothy at once ran back to the cottage and found the oil- can, and then she returned and asked, anxiously,"Where are your joints?" |
43936 | Dorothy then gave her the Golden Cap, and the Witch said to the Scarecrow,"What will you do when Dorothy has left us?" |
43936 | Finally he said:"Why not call the Winged Monkeys, and asked them to carry you over the desert?" |
43936 | How can she do so?" |
43936 | How did you get me out?" |
43936 | How did you happen to be here?" |
43936 | How did you manage to escape the great Wildcat?" |
43936 | If you, who are Great and Terrible, can not kill her yourself, how do you expect me to do it?" |
43936 | Is the other one stuffed, also?" |
43936 | Shall we go there?" |
43936 | She had such a frightened little voice that Dorothy stopped and said,"Why not?" |
43936 | The King bowed low before Dorothy, and asked,"What is your command?" |
43936 | The Tin Woodman, raising his axe, rushed toward the little man and cried out,[ Illustration]"Who are you?" |
43936 | Then Oz asked,"What do you wish me to do?" |
43936 | Then he said:"Do you suppose Oz could give me a heart?" |
43936 | Then said the voice:"Where did you get the silver shoes?" |
43936 | Then she noticed Dorothy''s Golden Cap, and said,"Why do n''t you use the charm of the Cap, and call the Winged Monkeys to you? |
43936 | Then the Witch looked at the big, shaggy Lion and asked,"When Dorothy has returned to her own home, what will become of you?" |
43936 | There was another Munchkin with him, and the first thing I heard was the farmer saying,"''How do you like those ears?'' |
43936 | They looked again in every part of the room, and then, seeing no one, Dorothy asked,"Where are you?" |
43936 | They seemed greatly surprised to see so strange a company, and while the woman was busy laying the table the man asked,"Where are you all going?" |
43936 | Turning to the Tin Woodman, she asked:"What will become of you when Dorothy leaves this country?" |
43936 | What could the little woman possibly mean by calling her a sorceress, and saying she had killed the wicked Witch of the East? |
43936 | What do you command?" |
43936 | What do you mean by coming here and frightening my cow?" |
43936 | What ever shall we do?" |
43936 | What is that little animal you are so tender of?" |
43936 | When he saw Dorothy and her companions the man asked,"What do you wish in the Emerald City?" |
43936 | When they reached the castle Dorothy said to the Winkies,"Are any of your people tinsmiths?" |
43936 | When, at last, he came back, Dorothy asked,"Have you seen Oz?" |
43936 | Who are you, and why do you seek me?" |
43936 | Who are you, and why do you seek me?" |
43936 | Who are you, and why do you seek me?" |
43936 | Why do you seek me?" |
43936 | Wo n''t you let me carry you back to Kansas and stand you on Aunt Em''s mantle- shelf? |
43936 | [ Illustration] The little old woman took the slate from her nose, and, having read the words on it, asked,"Is your name Dorothy, my dear?" |
43936 | [ Illustration]"But who was she?" |
43936 | [ Illustration]"What is it?" |
43936 | [ Illustration]"Why do you wish to see the terrible Oz?" |
43936 | are you back again?" |
43936 | asked Dorothy;"the Munchkin farmer who made you?" |
43936 | asked the Scarecrow, when he had stretched himself and yawned,"and where are you going?" |
43936 | cried Dorothy;"are you a real witch?" |
43936 | exclaimed the girl;"are you going with me?" |
43936 | he enquired;"and who is Oz?" |
43936 | said the girl, anxiously;"what will protect him?" |
43936 | said the princess;"ca n''t you see these are strangers, and should be treated with respect?" |
43936 | she cried, folding the little girl in her arms and covering her face with kisses;"where in the world did you come from?" |
16800 | And when people have no house, and no money, and nothing left, where do they go? 16800 Are his manners disagreeable?" |
16800 | But perhaps you are not familiar with ceramic terms? |
16800 | But why is she attractive to so many people? |
16800 | But,I suggested,"do n''t you think that is caused by acute indigestion?" |
16800 | But-- my duty to my neighbor? |
16800 | Charlie,she said, plaintively, to her youngest boy,"what would you do if poor mamma were to get very sick?" |
16800 | Checking? |
16800 | Do you eat and sleep tolerably well? |
16800 | Does your husband think a full beard becoming to him? |
16800 | From indigestion? |
16800 | Have you a mortgage on that place? |
16800 | How could she write it? 16800 How many did you let her see?" |
16800 | How much does your table cost you per week? |
16800 | How much is the mortgage? |
16800 | Is he bad? |
16800 | Is he such a fool? 16800 Is not that used now as a general term for earthenware decorated with color?" |
16800 | Papa,she observed,"it is all finished, is n''t it?" |
16800 | Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? |
16800 | Shams? |
16800 | Then, what is so disagreeable about him? |
16800 | Was that gown very expensive? |
16800 | What could I say of you Katy? |
16800 | What does she eat? |
16800 | What makes the difference between those two carriages? |
16800 | What rent do you pay? |
16800 | What would you do? |
16800 | What, for instance, have been some of your works since you have been in this country? |
16800 | When is he sober? |
16800 | Why not? |
16800 | Why should he when she had enough for both? |
16800 | Why were those newel posts oiled before they were set up? |
16800 | Why? 16800 Yet you say she is his own sister?" |
16800 | You write-- do you? |
16800 | _ But will not my readers agree with me that she was a genuine wife, mother, housekeeper,--in short, achink- filler?" |
16800 | ''s illness?" |
16800 | After all, may not what the impulsive girl whom I quoted at the beginning of this talk termed the"sham"of life, be the real, though hidden side? |
16800 | After the exit of the principal actors in the poem, we are told that the following conversation ensued:"What makes the lamb love Mary so?" |
16800 | Again I ask,_ cui bono?_ CHAPTER IX. |
16800 | Among others was the query:"How many grains of the medicine does your father take every day?" |
16800 | And after all the years of parental indulgence, what is your reward? |
16800 | And if we do have to drink skim milk, shall we throw away the cream on that account? |
16800 | And why am I a boor if I do not give her my seat, while she is considered a lady if she takes it without thanking me? |
16800 | Are girls, take them as a rule, as well- bred as boys? |
16800 | Before relegating them to the attic or ragpicker, would it not be prudent and pleasant to preserve the laces with which they were trimmed? |
16800 | But-- suppose he were not a good man, what then? |
16800 | But--_cui bono?_"Chagrined, mortified, angry, the author took the words with her to her room, and her brain tossed upon them as upon thorns all night. |
16800 | Ca n''t I help you?" |
16800 | Can the same be said of the child of to- day? |
16800 | Could the mere fact of his union with her change his entire nature? |
16800 | Did the loyal soul find that marriage paid? |
16800 | Do they starve to death?" |
16800 | Do you remember how genuine your distresses then seemed? |
16800 | Does she bewail herself that her sphere is small-- limited? |
16800 | Even a wealthy woman who can make work easy(?) |
16800 | Even supposing one lays herself open to the charge of flattery, is it not less of a fault than to merit the reputation for brutal fault- finding? |
16800 | FAMILIAR OR INTIMATE? |
16800 | Familiar, or Intimate? |
16800 | For is not a coarse woman always more abhorrent than a coarse man? |
16800 | Had his been a coarse brutal nature, would not the idea of reformation have been still more hopeless? |
16800 | Have you ever noticed it? |
16800 | Have you never had a whole day brightened by some seemingly chance remark which warmed the cockles of your heart with a delicious glow? |
16800 | Have you noticed how, as soon as you can laugh over a vexation, the sting of it is gone? |
16800 | How could she bring herself to put that down in black and white with the memory of the baby she has lost, in her mind?" |
16800 | How could she, with the grim doors of the home for the county paupers yawning blackly to receive her? |
16800 | How would you receive this or that correction? |
16800 | I look up, bewildered, from an essay to which I have just set the caption--"Who is my Neighbor?" |
16800 | I thought he was considered rather bright?" |
16800 | I told the story of my bearded youth and asked:"Where then is the safe ground? |
16800 | IS MARRIAGE REFORMATORY? |
16800 | If a man can describe it all so well, what could a woman do? |
16800 | If we thus openly defy all her laws, can we wonder if the kind but just mother calls us to account for it? |
16800 | In the novels and poems that set forth the eternal fitness of the cling- twine- and- depend school, the vine is always feminine, the oak( or cedar?) |
16800 | In this commonplace, fearfully real world, what would we do without the blessed Gospel of Conventionalities? |
16800 | Is Marriage Reformatory? |
16800 | Is it any wonder that mothers sometimes become discouraged? |
16800 | Is it to be wondered at that caustic critics of human nature and inconsistencies catalogue marriage for the wife under the head of mendicancy? |
16800 | Is it true that in morals there is no stated, infallible and eternal gauge--"the measure of a man-- that is, of an angel?" |
16800 | Is n''t she as able to"swing corners"holding on to a strap as I? |
16800 | Is not smooth, neat linen to take the precedence of trimming and starch? |
16800 | Is not the opposition consequent upon the universal desire to set other people right, the breath that blows the flame? |
16800 | Is she likely to be mistaken on such a point when she cried all night in Boston and the bereft infant wailed all night in New York? |
16800 | Is she willing to see her children''s blood tainted by his vices, their lives wrecked by evil temptations inherited from him? |
16800 | Let us quietly take hold of ourselves and ask ourselves the plain question,"Are we nervous, or cross?" |
16800 | May I add one word to those whom we, in exasperation, are apt to call aggressively strong? |
16800 | May it not be that the manipulation then acquired still serves him? |
16800 | May not this explanation, while rather far- fetched, afford some clue to the causes of personal popularity? |
16800 | Nobody is so besotted as to ask,"Does dram- drinking pay?" |
16800 | Not long ago, I asked of an acquaintance who is a wonderful reader of character:"Why has Mrs. S---- so many good friends?" |
16800 | Please tell me who taught her to play with it?" |
16800 | SHALL, I PASS IT ON? |
16800 | Shall I Pass It On? |
16800 | She loves her family, and while they are sometimes very trying, who could expect her to bear a grudge against the dear ones? |
16800 | Since there were at least one or two pleasant features in the landscape, why could he not call attention to them? |
16800 | Such are touching a lady on arm or shoulder to attract her attention, inquiring"What say?" |
16800 | Then why call the attention of others to the circumstances that they are guilty of the same weakness, if such it be? |
16800 | Then why"give the piece of your mind,"which you can never take back? |
16800 | Then, what would you do?" |
16800 | To come down to"hard pan"--whence originates this unwholesome dread of ripeness and maturity? |
16800 | Under such provocation does not murder assume the guise of justifiable homicide? |
16800 | Undoubtedly he was extremely impertinent; but did not the interference of the grandparent justify the rebuke? |
16800 | WHAT GOOD WILL IT DO? |
16800 | Was that grief so much more sensible than this, or do you love her less now? |
16800 | What Good Will It Do? |
16800 | What business have these people to interfere? |
16800 | What do you think that blessed innocent did? |
16800 | What does Charles take her for? |
16800 | What does the Bible say of the hypocrite? |
16800 | What good will it do? |
16800 | What if John''s mother has disagreeable peculiarities? |
16800 | What is the baneful spirit which tempts the gentlest of us to take more pleasure in calling attention to a fault than to a virtue? |
16800 | When is it altogether reputable for one to declare his real age?" |
16800 | When your"frank friend(?)" |
16800 | Whin they think me cross, it''s only that I''m a bit quoiet, an''who can wonder? |
16800 | Who will send me news of the formation of the first Chapter of the H.P.U.? |
16800 | Who would not rather be a healer than a scarifier? |
16800 | Why does not a kind Father mean for us to profit by the one as much as by the other? |
16800 | Why expect him to take these on trust any more than you expect the daughters to do this? |
16800 | Why keep a dog and do your own barking?" |
16800 | Why not let her do it? |
16800 | Why should he not give credit to the same source? |
16800 | Why should our preferences, our likes or dislikes be of more account than those of thousands of other people? |
16800 | Why then this rooted hatred and horror of step- mothers? |
16800 | Why torture them by a mere form?" |
16800 | Why, then, yield to the disposition to attempt the impracticable? |
16800 | Woman''s work is quite as dignified as man''s, and why should it not be arranged as carefully and systematically? |
16800 | Would it not have been wiser as well as neater, for her to have plain, untrimmed underwear, and iron it without starching? |
16800 | Would the game have been worth the candle? |
16800 | Would what St. James graphically describes as"foaming out of their own shame,"finally froth itself into silence? |
16800 | Yet what good will it do to point out to them their mistakes? |
16800 | You''ll not be sending me away without one, peticklerly as''twas meself as give warnin''?" |
16800 | _ Shall I pass it on?_ This is the moral question I would sift from what my readers may regard as trivial and commonplace details. |
16800 | and to hold her own perpendicular in the aisle? |
16800 | did you touch my foot?_''"The incident is essentially John- esque. |
16800 | do you think it is pretty to do that?" |
16800 | or what good comes from the remark that she is"sprightly, but not very deep?" |
16800 | or"Is that so?" |
16800 | quavered the little voice,"do n''t you think that is dreadful?" |
16800 | what shall eclipse The pain of our childish woes? |
16800 | with a long- drawn sigh of wretchedness,"is n''t it_ awful_ to be poor?" |
10516 | Are n''t the colors pretty? |
10516 | Are n''t you going to dinner, mamma? |
10516 | Boy, what does it mean? |
10516 | But is it to your will simply_ as_ will that he is to yield? 10516 But what would you do,"said I,"if he were to refuse to ask to be excused?" |
10516 | Do n''t you see that you are right in my light? 10516 Do you think I shall say it to- day?" |
10516 | Do you think he could,she replied,"when he sees that I am only trying to save him from pain?" |
10516 | Do you want me to show you how you are sitting? |
10516 | Is the table a good one? |
10516 | Little boy,said I, solemnly,"do you see that sign?" |
10516 | Mamma, are you sure I shall ever say it? |
10516 | May I trouble you for that cricket? |
10516 | Oh, excuse me, but your head is between me and the light: could you see as well if you moved a little? |
10516 | Oh, mamma, mamma,cried Blue Eyes,"ca n''t I have my little tea- set on a little table beside your big table? |
10516 | Please, ma''am, wo n''t you buy a basket? |
10516 | Was there ever such an awkward child? |
10516 | Well, dear? |
10516 | What can I do? |
10516 | What do_ you_ think? |
10516 | What is there to do to- day? |
10516 | What, then? |
10516 | Where do you sell the most? |
10516 | Why must I? |
10516 | Why? |
10516 | Will you allow your children to stay at this party until half- past eleven? |
10516 | Will you have the apple, or the orange? 10516 Will you have the horseback ride to- day, or the opera to- morrow night? |
10516 | Wo n''t you come under my umbrella? |
10516 | Would it hinder you too long to stop at the store for me? 10516 Would you be so very kind as to close that window?" |
10516 | You do not, surely, suppose I think you are responsible for it, do you? |
10516 | _ Will_ you sit still for one minute? |
10516 | --can any words measure the difference between the first treatment and the second? |
10516 | A very few minutes of this were more than I could bear; and, almost crying, I said,"Why, mamma, what makes you do so?" |
10516 | All the other children go; and what can I do?" |
10516 | And how much better off are they who never threw a stone in their lives than the rude mob who throw them all the time? |
10516 | And in cases where the wares are simply stolen, shall there be no redress? |
10516 | And looking past this spectacle, out of our windows, how is it that we do not each rainy day weep with pleasure at sight of the glistening show? |
10516 | And there are poverty and sickness, and there is not time? |
10516 | And to whose later thought has it not occurred that in this mimic little show lay bound up the whole of life? |
10516 | And who wants to throw stones? |
10516 | And, after all, what would the sacrifice of even two days be, in comparison with the time saved in years to come? |
10516 | And, as for words, who shall express their feebleness in midst of strength? |
10516 | Are not all cherubs such as he?" |
10516 | Are we not decked in the whole of color, feasted on all that shape and sound and flavor can give? |
10516 | Are we not wiser each moment than we were the moment before? |
10516 | Art and science, are they not our slaves,--coining money and running mills? |
10516 | As I followed on, I heard the two children, who were walking behind, saying to each other,"Would n''t that have been too bad? |
10516 | At what hour, or day, may I look for you?" |
10516 | But how much of what is written, printed, and read to- day about the men and women of to- day comes under these heads? |
10516 | But if the trade must continue, can we not insist that the profits be shared? |
10516 | But what shall we say of the old- clothes mongers in journalism? |
10516 | But who could bear a mixture of both? |
10516 | But who lives in any thing else, nowadays? |
10516 | But why say it? |
10516 | But why, having once learned to speak, does the baby leave off speaking when it becomes a man or a woman? |
10516 | But"what can she do?" |
10516 | But, because one has a goal, must one be torn by poisoned spurs? |
10516 | Ca n''t you see that there is not room enough for two people here?" |
10516 | Can it be possible that all this comfort and economy for lodgers are compatible with profits for landlords? |
10516 | Can we be sure of living as long as they live? |
10516 | Can we stand by, each minute of each hour of each day, and say to the automata, Go here, or Go there? |
10516 | Can we wind them up like seventy- year clocks, and leave them? |
10516 | Dare we think what would be the formula in statement of spiritual life which would be correlative to the"law of continuity"? |
10516 | Did you think I had done my dinner this afternoon when I got excused? |
10516 | Do many people feel what a wonderful thing it is that each human being is born into the world with his own smile? |
10516 | Do not the blind see, the deaf hear, and the crippled dance? |
10516 | Do we? |
10516 | Every few minutes he would come and stand before her, and say very earnestly,"Are you sure I shall say it?" |
10516 | Face to face with a joy, a sorrow, would a symphony avail us? |
10516 | For several years he used often to allude to the affair, saying,"Do you remember, mamma, that dreadful time when I would n''t say G?" |
10516 | For what reason is he to do this?" |
10516 | Give him a comfortable seat? |
10516 | Give him some honey, even if there is not enough to go round? |
10516 | Has not Nature surrendered to us? |
10516 | Has not living become subject to a magician''s"presto"? |
10516 | Have we not built and multiplied religions, till each man, even the most irreligious, can have his own? |
10516 | He is tired and cold; he does not want to study-- who would? |
10516 | Her uniform atmosphere of contentedness so impressed and surprised me that, at last, I said to Franz, the head waiter,--"What makes Gretchen so happy? |
10516 | How could her husband have married her? |
10516 | How dare you think you can pity Anton? |
10516 | How many boys of twelve hear such words as these from tired, overburdened mothers? |
10516 | How many communities, how many households even, are without a tyrant? |
10516 | How many women can say to themselves or others that this is their aim? |
10516 | How should their muscles be good for any thing? |
10516 | I asked;"because they do not wish to have their children educated?" |
10516 | I do n''t think I deserved any at all; do you?" |
10516 | I exclaimed, in involuntary admiration;"what are you doing?" |
10516 | I hate little boys''?" |
10516 | I have more than once said to a parent who used these words,"Will you tell me just what you mean by that? |
10516 | I involuntarily exclaimed,"Have you known many such cases?" |
10516 | If A is to receive ten dollars for quoting B''s remarks at a private dinner yesterday, shall not B have a small percentage on the sale? |
10516 | If smiles may not be used for weapons or masks, of what use are they? |
10516 | If they will only try and keep alive till we get home, we will make them very happy in some water; wo n''t we? |
10516 | If this were not so, would he be found undertaking to lodge and feed people for one dollar or a dollar and a half a day? |
10516 | In a few moments he laid down his knife and fork, and said,"Mamma, will you please to excuse me?" |
10516 | In angry surprise at not finding him in the seat where they left him, they exclaimed,--"Now, where_ is_ that boy? |
10516 | Is not to- day brilliant, marvellous, beautiful? |
10516 | Is not what is called the"movement of the age"going on at the highest rate of speed and of sound? |
10516 | Is there a greater misery than to be hurried? |
10516 | It may be asked, and not unnaturally, how does this lodging- house system work for those who keep the houses? |
10516 | Left unmentioned, unforbidden, who knows how soon they might die out of men''s lives, perhaps even from the earth''s surface? |
10516 | Let him wear his best jacket, and buy him half as many neckties as his sister has? |
10516 | Listen tolerantly to his little bragging, and help him"do"his sums? |
10516 | No calculation for the inevitable progress of human knowledge? |
10516 | No provision for an added enlightenment? |
10516 | No room for a wholesome, healthy doubt? |
10516 | Nobody thinks any thing''ll hurt a boy; but they''re glad enough to''allow''us when there''s any errands to be done, and"--"Do you live in New York?" |
10516 | Now, when is your boy to learn these lessons? |
10516 | Oh, who can describe him? |
10516 | On the other hand, looking at all existences as organisms, shall we be disturbed at seeming failure?--long periods of apparent inactivity? |
10516 | Once, when he was sick, he said,"Mamma, do you think I could have said G any sooner than I did?" |
10516 | Or is it something which the adult has and the child had not? |
10516 | Shall we believe, for instance, that Christ''s great church can be really hindered in its appropriate cycle of progressive change and adaptation? |
10516 | Shall we complain that we are maddened by the racket, out of breath with the spinning and whirling, and dying of the strain of it all? |
10516 | Shall we not sometimes answer his questions? |
10516 | Shall we not thence learn charity, and the better understand the full meaning of some who have said that vices were virtues in excess or restraint? |
10516 | Shall we say any thing of those of us who die between our seventh and eighteenth spiritual month? |
10516 | Shall we try those methods and that pace on our journeys? |
10516 | Should not a man be equally withheld from the brutal beating of a child who is not his own, but God''s, and whom to kill is murder? |
10516 | Simply as the weaker yields to the stronger,--almost as matter yields to force? |
10516 | Somebody who has written stories( is it Dickens?) |
10516 | That any true membership of this organic body can be formed or annulled by mere human interference? |
10516 | The fettered helplessness in spite of which they soar to such heights? |
10516 | The mother said,"How shall I divide this? |
10516 | The principle is the same; and if the principle be right, why not multiply methods? |
10516 | Then I heard the mother say to the oldest boy,"Dear, are you too tired to let little Annie put her head on your shoulder and take a nap? |
10516 | There is the house to be kept? |
10516 | This is too hard? |
10516 | To create and sustain the atmosphere of a home,--it is easily said in a very few words; but how many women have done it? |
10516 | Upon whom, then, shall we lay earnest hands? |
10516 | Vegetables? |
10516 | Wait and not reprove him till after the company has gone? |
10516 | Was the breakfast- room door much more likely to be shut the next morning? |
10516 | What are one hundred and twenty millions of men, more or less? |
10516 | What do you mean by such conduct?" |
10516 | What genius could rise superior to it, could be itself, surrounded by such uncertainties? |
10516 | What have they in common? |
10516 | What is a man, more or less? |
10516 | What is it which the child has and the adult loses, from the loss of which comes this total change of behavior? |
10516 | What is quiet in comparison with riches? |
10516 | What is to be done to prevent this acrid look of misery from becoming an organic characteristic of our people? |
10516 | What is to become of this helpless machine, which has no central spring of independent action? |
10516 | What shape will she make of that child''s soul? |
10516 | What should we do without him? |
10516 | What, then, is the fine art of smiling? |
10516 | What, then, is to be done? |
10516 | When human beings, then, are neither boys nor men, girls nor women, they must be for a few years anomalous creatures, must they? |
10516 | When shall we have a Cuvier, a Huxley, a Tyndall for the immaterial world,--the realm of spiritual existence, moral growth? |
10516 | Whenever he leaves her, her farewell is not,"How soon do you think you shall come back? |
10516 | Where does this abnormal, uncomfortable period come in? |
10516 | Where was the genial, laughing, talking lady who had been my friend up to that moment? |
10516 | Who does not believe that the image of God could have been beautiful on all? |
10516 | Who does not know such faces? |
10516 | Who does not remember when to"play house"was their chief of plays? |
10516 | Who has not felt the very soul writhe within her as she has first crossed the threshold of one of these dismal antechambers of journey? |
10516 | Who has not heard this said? |
10516 | Who has not heard voice from such apostles? |
10516 | Who has not observed it? |
10516 | Who knows when it was first said of a man laying up money,"He lays by for a rainy day"? |
10516 | Who of us is not in prison? |
10516 | Who of us is not living out his time of punishment? |
10516 | Who would live in one, if he could help it? |
10516 | Whose fault is it that they are not so? |
10516 | Why do we dare to be so sure that they are not grieved by ungracious words and tones? |
10516 | Why do we not always smile whenever we meet the eye of a fellow- being? |
10516 | Why make four miseries out of three? |
10516 | Why should days ever be dark, life ever be colorless? |
10516 | Why, in New York( you live in New York, do n''t you?) |
10516 | Will any physician tell us that this fact is not an element in that child''s physical condition at the end of that year? |
10516 | Will he always act up to his highest moral perceptions? |
10516 | Will the woman whose brain and heart are working these problems, as applied to a household, be an adjective? |
10516 | Will you all stand still and not stir from this spot if I go?" |
10516 | Would not fathers and mothers have cried out all over the land at the inhumanity of the idea? |
10516 | You''ve got on a nice white dress: why ca n''t I?" |
10516 | and a few seconds later, as the child was rather sulkily sitting down in his chair,"And do you mean to bid anybody''good- morning,''or not?" |
10516 | be idle? |
10516 | between the success of the one and the failure of the other? |
10516 | or digestion and long life in comparison with knowledge? |
10516 | or"Why can not I?" |
10516 | smile perpetually?" |
10516 | that they can get used to being continually treated as if they were"in the way"? |
10516 | why do n''t you_ make_ me say it?" |
44481 | Do n''t you wish some friend would come along? |
44481 | I love her, I am kind to her, I provide a good home for her-- she has her children and she has me-- what else should she want? |
44481 | What else should she want? |
44481 | What will happen if an irresistible force meets an immovable body? |
44481 | A man does not like that kind of a place-- and why should he? |
44481 | A really suitable and profitable companion for a man instead of the bond- slave of a house? |
44481 | All might compete on even terms if"love is enough,"as poets have claimed; but_ which could best provide for her children_? |
44481 | And I? |
44481 | And I? |
44481 | And in particular how does it affect the home, and how does the home affect it? |
44481 | And she gives in return--? |
44481 | And what is maternity but one of nature''s processes of reproduction? |
44481 | And why do the people who care most for the home-- our Anglo- Saxons-- care so little for beauty and art? |
44481 | And, in such art- knowledge and art- growth as we have, why is it least manifested at home? |
44481 | Are the children, then, perfectly fed at home? |
44481 | Are the mothers to be credited with all that is good and the fathers with all that is bad? |
44481 | Are we never to have a man- wife? |
44481 | Are we so loosely attached to our homes as to give them up when some defects are pointed out? |
44481 | As a matter of fact,_ are_ our children happy and prosperous, healthy and good, at home? |
44481 | At what point in this long march of life was introduced that useful, blessed thing-- the home? |
44481 | But apart from that virtue, what sense of honour do we find in the home- bound woman? |
44481 | But does he thereafter maintain the same degree of devotion that he bestowed before? |
44481 | But girls we find by thousands and thousands;"helping mother,"if mother does the work; and if there are servants to do the work, the girl does-- what? |
44481 | But how does our universally praised home- cooking affect our health? |
44481 | But what real place has a grown woman of twenty- five and upwards in anyone else''s home? |
44481 | But why revere some more than others, and the lower more than the higher? |
44481 | By that strange assumption does she justify this refusal to keep step with the world? |
44481 | Can it imagine a home, a real happy home, with the woman out of it for one hour a day? |
44481 | Can it, encouraged by this step, picture the home as still enduring while the woman is out of it two hours a day? |
44481 | Can not men see how deeply benefited they would be by this change, this growth of woman? |
44481 | Can not the mother love it_ while the nurse takes care of it_? |
44481 | Can we get at the causes of this department of human trouble? |
44481 | Can we prove it? |
44481 | Could a college boy apply his education appropriately to"keeping house"--and, if not, how can the girl? |
44481 | Could she not manage to love a daughter in business, too? |
44481 | Do they in truth do all for their children; do their children owe all to them? |
44481 | Do they not love it and live in it--_while they are there_? |
44481 | Do they? |
44481 | Do we expect the judge upon the bench to do justice, dispassionate, unswerving, on his own child-- his own wife-- in the dock? |
44481 | Do we expect the mother to do justice to the child when the child is the offender and the mother the offended? |
44481 | Do we hold a wigwam more sacred than a beast''s lair and less sacred than a modern home? |
44481 | Do we hold an intelligent, capable mother more sacred than an ignorant, feeble one? |
44481 | Does either the physician or the epicure point with pride to that dietary? |
44481 | Does eternity only stretch one way? |
44481 | Does it cease to be home because of their hours away from it? |
44481 | Does not the mother love her son, though he is in business? |
44481 | Does this grade and amount of labour on the part of women lighten the burden, as we so fondly and proudly assume? |
44481 | Does this"good time"satisfy the girl? |
44481 | From what once normal base sprang this abnormal growth? |
44481 | Grant that both are sacred-- that all right processes are sacred-- is not the relative sanctity up and out along the line of man''s improvement? |
44481 | Guarded from what? |
44481 | Had Wilkes Booth no mother? |
44481 | Has the world stopped? |
44481 | He has her-- the home and the children-- does that suffice him? |
44481 | Her influence is--? |
44481 | Here are traces of a woman''s hand beyond dispute, but is it beauty? |
44481 | Home is the cradle-- shall a whole life stay Cradled in comfort through the working day? |
44481 | Home? |
44481 | How are the duties of the mother compatible with the duties of the housewife? |
44481 | How are we educated in knowledge and taste as to right eating? |
44481 | How can child- culture, as a branch of human progress, rise to any degree of proficiency in this swarming heap of rudimentary trades? |
44481 | How can we reconcile ourselves to the continuance of a system not only so shamefully inadequate, but so ruinously expensive? |
44481 | How can"the home"be credited with such opposite results? |
44481 | How could a human creature be content in such an unnatural position? |
44481 | How do these stand as compared with the facts? |
44481 | How do we modify them for children? |
44481 | How does it modify his personal life and development? |
44481 | How does she effect our output? |
44481 | How does staying in one''s own house all one''s life affect the mind? |
44481 | How does the home stand as regards either branch of development? |
44481 | How does the home- bound woman fill the claims of motherhood? |
44481 | How does the present home meet their needs? |
44481 | How does the woman escape this charge? |
44481 | How has the mental growth of the race been affected by the housing of women? |
44481 | How if the girl wants something else to do-- something definite, something developing? |
44481 | How many homes provide such an amount, fresh, either by day or night? |
44481 | How many men simply hand out a proper sum of money for"living expenses,"and then live, serene and steady, on that outlay? |
44481 | How of her mind? |
44481 | How would her brother be content with a day''s work of dusting the parlour and arranging the flowers; of calling and being called on? |
44481 | How, then, have we come to this vanishing point of absurdity? |
44481 | If a man could afford to put daughters and wife to bed and have them fed and washed like babies, would that be a kindness? |
44481 | If he battles through his infancy and early childhood successfully, what has he gained from his early environment in education? |
44481 | If not the once sacred spirit of hospitality, is it the still sacred spirit of friendship? |
44481 | If she does not marry, what then? |
44481 | If so, why? |
44481 | If the home is a temple, why should not our hills be dotted with fair shrines worthy of worship? |
44481 | If the mother is not herself the house- servant-- what else is she? |
44481 | If we are willing to receive our water from an extra- domestic pipe-- why not our food? |
44481 | In his"Expert Evidence"he says,"What the coort ought to''ve done was to call him up and say''Lootgert, where''s your good woman?'' |
44481 | In plain fact, what does the average home offer to the newcomer, the utterly defenceless baby, the all- important Coming Generation? |
44481 | In the home who has any privacy? |
44481 | In the house has grown the delicate beauty we admire, but are we right in so admiring? |
44481 | In this kind of home-- and it is still the rule on earth-- what is the influence on man? |
44481 | In this most vivid period of life how does the home meet the needs of the growing soul? |
44481 | In this new field of social service, productive industry, what is the influence of the home? |
44481 | In what does it consist? |
44481 | In what way does a man best benefit his family? |
44481 | In what way does a woman best benefit her family? |
44481 | In what way is it specifically prepared for the use, enjoyment, and benefit of a child? |
44481 | Is Home best valued as a place to hide? |
44481 | Is all this outcry necessary? |
44481 | Is he? |
44481 | Is history a dream? |
44481 | Is it better than Liberty, better than Justice, better than Art, Government, Science, Industry, Religion? |
44481 | Is it not a confession of the discord and pain we so stoutly deny, that we are not willing to pour light into this dark place and see what ails it? |
44481 | Is it not more sacred to teach right conduct for instance, as a true preacher does, than to feed one''s own child as does the squaw? |
44481 | Is it not time that the home be freed from these industries so palpably out of place? |
44481 | Is it really what she wants, all she wants? |
44481 | Is it something new, something distinctively human, like the church, the school, or the post office? |
44481 | Is it to keep her word inflexibly? |
44481 | Is it to respect privacy, to scorn eavesdropping, to regard the letter of another person as inviolate? |
44481 | Is it to spare the weaker? |
44481 | Is it-- really? |
44481 | Is life meant In ignominious safety to be spent? |
44481 | Is nothing furnished in the way of safety, sanitation, education, by that larger home, the state? |
44481 | Is she happy in her father''s home, just passing the time till she moves into her husband''s? |
44481 | Is the girl satisfied? |
44481 | Is the home so light a thing as to be blown away by a breath of criticism? |
44481 | Is the home, as the last stage of our elaborate processes of social nutrition, a success? |
44481 | Is the home, as we have it, satisfying to the real needs of man''s nature; and if not, could it be improved? |
44481 | Is the list of dietary diseases among our home- fed little ones a thing to boast of? |
44481 | Is there any exact time of attendance required to make a home? |
44481 | Is there really no way that the experience of all the ages may be turned to account to facilitate the first years of a child''s life? |
44481 | Is this long- accepted theory correct? |
44481 | Is this relished by the family? |
44481 | Is this so? |
44481 | It is the duty of the child to care for the infirm parent-- that is not questioned; but how? |
44481 | May we look, then, in homes of this class for an ideal influence on man? |
44481 | Must the poor baby suffer by night and day; must the small child bang and yell, and must it be punished so frequently? |
44481 | Must we then leave it-- lose it-- go without it? |
44481 | No transportation, that at once;_ no roads_--why roads if all men stayed at home? |
44481 | Now if, while the father was out, and the children were out, the mother should also be out, would the home disappear into thin air? |
44481 | Now the father goes out every day; does the home cease to exist because of his hours away from it? |
44481 | Now we do not seek to"attach"our butcher or baker or candlestick- maker; why our cook? |
44481 | Now what is all this leading to? |
44481 | Now what is the real effect upon the man? |
44481 | Now, having laid aside both the general ideal and the pocket ideal, what do we see? |
44481 | Now, how does this home really stand under dispassionate observation? |
44481 | Now, what is the accepted duty of the boy to the parents, when they are old, feeble, sick, or poor? |
44481 | On what ground, then, is that dinner given-- why are the Jenkinses asked that night? |
44481 | Or hats, or books, or waggons? |
44481 | Or what would any scale of wages or promotion be against the joys of a home of her own, a husband of her own, children of her own? |
44481 | Our college girls have vast supplies of knowledge; how can they use it in the home? |
44481 | Our lightly spoken phrase"What is home without a mother?" |
44481 | Perhaps even, in some remote dream, no dining- room? |
44481 | Perhaps we might; but do we? |
44481 | Private?--a place private where we admit to the most intimate personal association an absolute stranger; or more than one? |
44481 | Scrutinise the home, that sacred institution, and even question it? |
44481 | She has enough to eat, enough and more than enough to wear; but what exercise has she for body or brain? |
44481 | Such as it is, strong for good and also very weak for some good, possibly even showing some tendencies to evil, what is its influence on men? |
44481 | That our women cease to be an almost universal class of house- servants; plus a small class of parasitic idlers and greedy consumers of wealth? |
44481 | That the expense of living be decreased by two- thirds and the productive labour increased by nine- twentieths? |
44481 | The duty is precisely the same; why is the manner of fulfilling it so different? |
44481 | The home is a beautiful ideal, but have we no others? |
44481 | The work is only done for the family-- the family is satisfied-- what remains? |
44481 | These are vital processes, healthy, natural, indispensable, but why sacred? |
44481 | This is indeed necessary; for why should they pay for tuition, or even waste time in gratuitously studying, when they can get wages without? |
44481 | To eat, to sleep, to breathe, to dress, to rest and amuse one''s self-- these are good and useful deeds; but are they more hallowed than others? |
44481 | To what sort of world is the new soul introduced? |
44481 | Was Benedict Arnold an orphan? |
44481 | We have attained some refinement of feeling in painting, music, and other arts; why are we still so frankly barbaric in our attitude toward food? |
44481 | What are homes for? |
44481 | What are houses for? |
44481 | What are our general food habits? |
44481 | What are the conditions which have brought forth this degree of virtue in us, and how does the home rank among those conditions? |

44481 | What else does he want? |
44481 | What follows further of the influence of the home upon man directly? |
44481 | What governs our choice? |
44481 | What has father or mother, sister or brother, to offer to the unmarried woman? |
44481 | What have we to hope-- or to dread-- in the undeniable lines of development here shown? |
44481 | What if she does not? |
44481 | What is a child? |
44481 | What is a home? |
44481 | What is an instinct? |
44481 | What is her influence upon art-- the applied art that is found, or should be found, in everything we make and use? |
44481 | What is the accepted duty of the girl to the parents in like case? |
44481 | What is the average workingman''s attitude toward this supposed haven of rest? |
44481 | What is the contribution of domestic ethics to this mighty virtue? |
44481 | What is the effect, or rather what are some of the effects, of this artificial game of living upon the real course of life? |
44481 | What is the home to her who has no"home of her own"? |
44481 | What is the occupation of the daughter of the house? |
44481 | What is the preferred type of excellence in humanity according to our social instincts and to the measure of history? |
44481 | What is the proposed change? |
44481 | What is the real condition of the home as regards children-- its primal reason for being? |
44481 | What is the status of household industry as practised by servants? |
44481 | What is there in home- life, as we know it, which proves inimical to the development of true beauty? |
44481 | What is there in the make- up of any ordinary house designed to please, instruct, educate, and generally benefit a child? |
44481 | What is there in the presence of children in a house to alarm the owner? |
44481 | What is there in this a man should dread? |
44481 | What is to become of the unmarried daughter after the mother is gone? |
44481 | What is, in truth, required to make a home? |
44481 | What miracle does"a woman''s hand"work on this varying flood of change? |
44481 | What ought it to cost? |
44481 | What percentage are healthy? |
44481 | What percentage of our children grow up properly proportioned, athletic and vigorous? |
44481 | What percentage of our children grow up with strong, harmonious characters, wise and good? |
44481 | What percentage of our human young live to grow up? |
44481 | What progress has been made in our domestic concepts? |
44481 | What sort of an allowance is this for the largest class of citizens? |
44481 | What sort of citizens do we need for the best city-- the best state-- the best country-- the best world? |
44481 | What would houses be like if every man made his own? |
44481 | What would shoes be like if every man made his own, if the shoemaker had never come to his development? |
44481 | What, then, is the explanation of this lack of special provision for the real founder of the home? |
44481 | Where are the limits and tendencies of these emotions? |
44481 | Where is Children''s Day? |
44481 | Where is her business, her trade, her art, her profession, her place in life? |
44481 | Where water and light are thus fully socialised, why are we so shy of any similar progress in the supply of food? |
44481 | Which could do most for her children? |
44481 | Why did the people who cared most for beauty and art, the Greeks, care so little for the home? |
44481 | Why do we dread having children, as many of our much- extolled mothers so keenly do? |
44481 | Why does it not originate there? |
44481 | Why does not the equally capable daughter_ do more_ to support her parent when it is necessary? |
44481 | Why does she have to be herself the nurse and servant? |
44481 | Why have not these? |
44481 | Why have these stayed? |
44481 | Why is it not good? |
44481 | Why is not domestic architecture as good as public architecture? |
44481 | Why is not she responsible for progress, too? |
44481 | Why is that which is so palpably false of a man held to be true of a woman? |
44481 | Why is the process of getting acclimated to the world so difficult and agonising? |
44481 | Why not give our children strong bodies and constitutions from both sides? |
44481 | Why not the God of our children? |
44481 | Why not? |
44481 | Why should the housemaid stay a maid for our sakes? |
44481 | Why should you prate of safety? |
44481 | Why was woman the first worker? |
44481 | Why, in one way, by one child, and in so different a way by another? |
44481 | Why, then, do we find in this line of development such hideously inartistic things? |
44481 | Why, then, do we so fear a change in this field? |
44481 | Why? |
44481 | With all this time, labour, and expense given to the feeding of humanity, what are the results? |
44481 | With our proven capacity, why do we manifest so little progress in industrial organisation and devotion? |
44481 | Would any amount of love on the part of that inconceivable house- husband justify him in depriving his family of all the fruits of progress? |
44481 | Would not such a home be good to come to, and would not its influence be wholly pleasant? |
44481 | XIII THE GIRL AT HOME What is the position of the home toward us in youth? |
44481 | Yes, but which hour of the day? |
44481 | Yes, there is occupation enough as far as filling time goes; but how if it does not satisfy? |
44481 | Yes? |
44481 | and, when found, do they bear any relation to our beloved custom of home- cooking and home- eating? |
44481 | wilt thou be mine? |
22916 | ''No''and''yes''both; not quite sure-- eh? |
22916 | A great compliment; do n''t you think so yourself, Arthur? |
22916 | And am I making mamma ill too? 22916 And what are you to do? |
22916 | And what did you see? |
22916 | And would not you, dear Arthur? |
22916 | Any more questions? |
22916 | Are you his cousin? |
22916 | Arthur dear, is anything the matter? |
22916 | Arthur,said Edgar,"I want you to have my Bible and my watch; will you? |
22916 | Aunt Daisy,he said, when he had finished,"What shall you say, when you answer Edgar North''s aunt''s letter?" |
22916 | Aunt Daisy,he said,"would you like me to take out that white fellow?" |
22916 | Auntie,he said,"would there be any use in my writing a letter now? |
22916 | But He will judge people, wo n''t He? |
22916 | But what is coming? |
22916 | But what is it? |
22916 | But, Edgar,and Arthur looked very earnestly into his dark, sad eyes,"do n''t you wish you were?" |
22916 | But, you know, he came on purpose to see Edgar; and do n''t you remember how very, very ill, Edgar is, Harold? |
22916 | Dear Edgar,said Arthur, burying his face in the bed- clothes to hide his tears,"I never knew you really were so very ill.""Did n''t you?" |
22916 | Did I say anything rude? |
22916 | Did I? |
22916 | Did he really? 22916 Did n''t your mother ever talk to you about it?" |
22916 | Did you ask her to write to me? |
22916 | Did you love your father very much? |
22916 | Did your father go to India? |
22916 | Do you always have your meals by yourselves? |
22916 | Do you know what I was thinking about, when I was looking out of my window this morning? 22916 Do you know who you belong to before me?" |
22916 | Do you mean that I am to live with some other person? |
22916 | Do you often pray for me, mother? 22916 Do you often say those funny things, Arthur?" |
22916 | Do you think it is well, Arthur? |
22916 | Do you think so? |
22916 | Do you think that will help you to understand? |
22916 | Do you want to go? |
22916 | Does he have dinner alone? |
22916 | First of all, then, what is the name of her place? |
22916 | Going to school, my boy-- eh? |
22916 | Has Edgar written to you himself? |
22916 | Have you anything you would like to do, dear, until dinner- time? |
22916 | Have you been here long, then, and by yourself? 22916 Have you had a nice walk?" |
22916 | He is tremendously strict, I suppose? |
22916 | How am I queer? |
22916 | How can I,asked Arthur,"without you?" |
22916 | How did you know I was? |
22916 | How do you know I am not? |
22916 | How long would a telegram take getting there? |
22916 | How was it horrid? |
22916 | I dare say he thinks we are something like himself,said Gerald,"do n''t you?" |
22916 | I do wish you would behave properly; what must Edgar''s friend think of you? |
22916 | I wonder is the doctor going to stay there all night? |
22916 | Is it to buy new clothes with, when I want any? |
22916 | It seems like old times, eh, Daisy? |
22916 | Mamma,he said in a low voice, which was very touchingly sad in its hopelessness,"need you go? |
22916 | Minnie? 22916 Miss North,"said Arthur,"you did not mind your sister having taken me up stairs, did you?" |
22916 | Mr. Arthur, will you come upstairs? |
22916 | Now, Aunt Daisy, will you direct this, please? |
22916 | Oh, mother, is it true what Anna says about Mildred, that she is so very ill? |
22916 | Oh, that''s it-- eh? 22916 Oh,"said Arthur,"what, ten brothers and sisters at home?" |
22916 | Papa,said Arthur presently,"what can you mean? |
22916 | Shall I? 22916 She is ever so much better, are n''t you, mother?" |
22916 | Should n''t you like to be? |
22916 | Then are you never afraid, dear Arthur? |
22916 | There''ll be lots of wild strawberries here soon,he said;"do n''t you like them?" |
22916 | They would be your cousins, would they not? |
22916 | Was it about me? |
22916 | Was it in the town you lived, or the country? |
22916 | Well, I daresay he likes to be obeyed,said Mrs. Vivyan;"but that is quite right, is n''t it?" |
22916 | Well, I have had thoughts like that, I think; but then I always thought of the Lord Jesus Christ; and how could I be afraid then? |
22916 | Well, I suppose for me,said Arthur;"but, mother, is all that really for me? |
22916 | Well, do n''t you think I had better go? |
22916 | Well, how would you? |
22916 | Well, if you know, what is the use of my telling? |
22916 | Well, tell us where you are going then? |
22916 | Well, then, you know all about it, I suppose? |
22916 | Well, what shall I say? |
22916 | Well, when is it? |
22916 | Well, why do n''t you play then? 22916 Well,"said Arthur,"what have you to tell me?" |
22916 | What about? |
22916 | What can he mean, Aunt Daisy? 22916 What can it be, mother?" |
22916 | What did he talk about? |
22916 | What did it mean? |
22916 | What do you generally do at home when you are not walking? |
22916 | What is his name, mother? |
22916 | What is it, my darling? |
22916 | What is the use of liking? |
22916 | What is this? |
22916 | What kind of a face had she? |
22916 | What kind of a place are we in, father? |
22916 | What on earth is that for? |
22916 | What shall I say, dear? |
22916 | What was it, Arthur? |
22916 | What would that be? |
22916 | What''s the use of keeping on wishing, Maude? |
22916 | What, dear? |
22916 | What, the boys''school that mother told me about? 22916 Where are the railway rugs and the shawls? |
22916 | Where shall you spend the holidays? |
22916 | Who do you think? |
22916 | Who is she? 22916 Who used you to live with then?" |
22916 | Who, dear? |
22916 | Why ca n''t you make them? |
22916 | Why do n''t you come on? |
22916 | Why do you hate it so very much? |
22916 | Why not? |
22916 | Why not? |
22916 | Why should you think there was anything the matter, mother? |
22916 | Why, dear? |
22916 | Why, what can be the matter with baby? |
22916 | Why, what''s the matter? 22916 Why-- what-- may I really? |
22916 | Will that do? |
22916 | Will you, Arthur? 22916 Wo n''t you take me with you, then? |
22916 | Would you like to see some of the things that you are going to take away with you? |
22916 | Wrong? |
22916 | Yes, nurse,said Edgar,"is n''t it nice?" |
22916 | Yes; and now, is she as ill as she was then? |
22916 | Yes; where does she live? |
22916 | You did not want to come, did you? |
22916 | You do what your sister tells you more than the others,said Arthur,"do n''t you?" |
22916 | You wo n''t lose your way? |
22916 | _ Very_ ill? |
22916 | And I wish I had said to him,''If the Lord Jesus were to come walking towards us now, and sit down here, would you be afraid to see Him?''" |
22916 | And am I going to India too?" |
22916 | And as Arthur thus rejoiced in the fulfilment of his long- cherished hope, what will it be to have our one great hope at last realized? |
22916 | And did he all this time forget his dear father and mother in the far- off land? |
22916 | And is not that the cure for being careful and troubled about many things? |
22916 | And then we can write to each other, you know, ca n''t we?" |
22916 | And would he never hear her clear, soft voice calling"Artie, Artie"? |
22916 | And, Edgar, do n''t you think He knows that you say it? |
22916 | And, Edgar, was it not about heaven, and the way to get there?" |
22916 | Are there not things to be done? |
22916 | Are you sorry?" |
22916 | Are you there, folded in His everlasting arms?" |
22916 | Are you?" |
22916 | Arthur did not quite know what to say himself, but he asked him after a moment--"Would you like to go for a walk?" |
22916 | As soon as the other children saw Minnie and Arthur going away, there was a general cry,"Minnie, where are you going?" |
22916 | But Arthur, my own, am I leaving you in a loving Saviour''s arms? |
22916 | But he only said,"Is that what I shall have to call you, then? |
22916 | But how are you going to get there? |
22916 | But how can I help it? |
22916 | But was she not making a mistake? |
22916 | Can I? |
22916 | Come here, sir; do you care?" |
22916 | Could she not become a little child, as God has told us all to do? |
22916 | Do n''t you remember those walks? |
22916 | Do n''t you remember when we said you would? |
22916 | Do n''t you think it would be a good thing for you to begin school?" |
22916 | Do n''t you think so, darling?" |
22916 | Do n''t you think you ought to stay?" |
22916 | Do n''t you wish you could take me, father?" |
22916 | Do you mean me to read your letter, auntie? |
22916 | Do you really mean that you and mother are going out to India, and that you are going to leave me in England by myself?" |
22916 | Do you think He would turn you away? |
22916 | Do you think you will, Hector? |
22916 | Does he wear spectacles?" |
22916 | Does she live here?" |
22916 | Eh, Daisy?" |
22916 | Have you any windows that do n''t shut quite tightly, aunt?" |
22916 | He seemed very much surprised at seeing Arthur; but all he said, when he came near was:"Well?" |
22916 | How am I to learn? |
22916 | How could I be afraid?" |
22916 | How could I be?" |
22916 | How could I? |
22916 | How could it all have happened? |
22916 | How do you mean, dear?" |
22916 | How will she feel, and how shall I feel? |
22916 | How would you like that-- eh?" |
22916 | How_ can_ I help it? |
22916 | I never thought he was so very ill. Do you think he is really going to die?" |
22916 | Is anything the matter?" |
22916 | Is it at all like this, mother?" |
22916 | Is it not a happy thing to belong to the Lord Jesus Christ? |
22916 | Is it not happy to be a lamb of that flock which has Jesus for its Shepherd? |
22916 | Is it not sweet, my darling, to feel that He says to you now, while you are being left at home,''Thou art mine''? |
22916 | Is it not the place where the Master would have His disciples, sitting at His feet, hearing His word? |
22916 | Is not this a happy thought, my Arthur? |
22916 | It will be pleasant to see aunt''s snug, warm house, wo n''t it, Arthur?" |
22916 | May not such earthly joys show us a little what it will be to see the One whom, having not seen, we love? |
22916 | Mother, may I say what I was thinking before you came in?" |
22916 | Mr. Vivyan looked up at his wife, and then he said,"Arthur, my boy, when I was in India before, why did your mother stay in England?" |
22916 | Mrs. Estcourt looked very much surprised as she said,"Why, how could that be, Arthur? |
22916 | Must n''t I have a lot of new clothes, and ever so many things?" |
22916 | Not going to have any more lessons?" |
22916 | Now, what is the second?" |
22916 | Oh, Edgar, why could n''t you have let me know?" |
22916 | Oh, dear, dear, dear, and whatever will mistress do, and master?" |
22916 | On the way, he asked,"Will you tell me how Edgar is?" |
22916 | People do not generally stop caring about their friends suddenly, do they?" |
22916 | Presently he roused himself, and said,"But, mamma, how can I go in two days? |
22916 | Presently he spoke--"Arthur, I wish----""Well, what?" |
22916 | Shall I put Arthur T. Vivyan? |
22916 | Shall I soon be able to go?" |
22916 | Shall we stop here?" |
22916 | Shall we?" |
22916 | She will get better, wo n''t she, mamma?" |
22916 | So what shall I do? |
22916 | That must be, because he does not know Him, must it not, auntie? |
22916 | Then she said,"Gerald, why do n''t you speak? |
22916 | Then, are there not other ways? |
22916 | Was it_ really_ true? |
22916 | Was she not a dear little thing?" |
22916 | We did not tell you until just at the end, when we were obliged to do it; because what was the use of making you unhappy before we need?" |
22916 | Well, then, what do you do when it is neither lessons nor walking?" |
22916 | Were you and he great friends?" |
22916 | What can he mean by saying,''I hope you will be able to come''? |
22916 | What can it be?" |
22916 | What can she think I want with such a lot of looking- glasses? |
22916 | What could she do, but lift up her heart to her refuge and strength? |
22916 | What could she say? |
22916 | What did you think of him?" |
22916 | What lady could be writing to me? |
22916 | What shall I say when the others ask about you?" |
22916 | What shall I say, Arthur?" |
22916 | What will papa say if we are not ready when the bell rings?" |
22916 | What, is she better then?" |
22916 | When am I going?" |
22916 | When would she get it?" |
22916 | Where shall we go?" |
22916 | Who can it be from? |
22916 | Who keeps the school?" |
22916 | Why ca n''t you stop bothering about yourself? |
22916 | Why did he come back from India to take mother away? |
22916 | Why should n''t I go upstairs? |
22916 | Why should we distrust or fear Him? |
22916 | Why, is he not with his uncle and his aunt?" |
22916 | Will she teach me? |
22916 | Will you be able to sleep here, do you think?" |
22916 | Will you come up to the nursery?" |
22916 | Will you really?" |
22916 | Will you?" |
22916 | Wo n''t you come upstairs to your room?" |
22916 | Wo n''t you take me? |
22916 | Would her sweet face_ never_ laugh again? |
22916 | Would n''t you rather stay at home with me?" |
22916 | Would you like to read his letter, auntie?" |
22916 | You are going to that home, my precious boy?" |
22916 | You know I love to take care of you, because you are mine; and do n''t you think He does much more? |
22916 | You remember about the Lord Jesus feeding the people in the wilderness?" |
22916 | You see they had not to try and do anything hard-- had they? |
22916 | You would not like her to be your mother, would you?" |
22916 | and do you not like to give pleasure to the One who loves you so, and who did for you what can never be told? |
22916 | and if he did, I can not help it; so what is the use of being sorry or glad? |
22916 | asked Arthur, remembering the sweet words that had fallen into his own heart;"or your father?" |
22916 | said Arthur breathlessly;"who is all that money for?" |
22916 | said his mother very gently and sadly,"why did you, why did you not remember?" |
22916 | what shall I do?" |
14237 | Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister unto them who shall be the heirs of salvation? |
14237 | Can a mother forget her sucking child? |
14237 | Dost thou live, man, dost thou live, or only breathe and labor? 14237 For what knowest, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband? |
14237 | For what then was I born? 14237 Go ask that musing father, why yon grave So narrow, and so noteless, might not close Without a tear?" |
14237 | How can two walk together except they be agreed? |
14237 | How can two walk together except they he agreed? |
14237 | How can two walk together, except they be agreed? |
14237 | I gaze on your bright track; I hear your lessening voices as they go; Have ye no sign, no solace to fling back To those who toil below? 14237 If ye count society for past time,--what happier recreation than a nursling, Its winning ways, its prattling tongue, its innocence and mirth? |
14237 | Is it a fair, fond thought, That you may still our friends and guardians be; And heaven''s high ministry by you be wrought With objects low as we? 14237 May we not secretly hope, That you around our path and bed may dwell? |
14237 | Not there? 14237 Shall not your gentle voice Break on temptation''s dark and sullen mood, Subdue our erring will, o''errule our choice, And win from ill to good? |
14237 | Shall we not feel you near In hours of danger, solitude, and pain, Cheering the darkness, drying off the tear And turning loss to gain? 14237 Surely ye note us here, Though not as we appear to mortal view, And can we still, with all our stains, be dear To spirits pure as you? |
14237 | The same fond mother bent at night O''er each fair sleeping brow; She had each folded flower in sight-- Where are those dreamers now? 14237 Turn ye, turn ye; for why will ye die?" |
14237 | What could a mother''s prayer, In all the wildest ecstacy of hope, Ask for her darling like the bliss of heaven? |
14237 | What do you mean? |
14237 | What fellowship hath light with darkness? |
14237 | What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? 14237 What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? |
14237 | What is in a name? |
14237 | What shall a man give in exchange for his soul? |
14237 | What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? |
14237 | Who loves,says William Jay,"to take his meat from a leprous hand?" |
14237 | Who would not be an infant now, To breathe an infant''s prayer? 14237 Whom have I in heaven but thee?" |
14237 | Why hire a lodging in a house unknown, For one whose tenderest thoughts all hover round your own? 14237 Would you your son should be a sot and a dunce, Lascivious, headstrong, or all these at once? |
14237 | *****"Why, memory, cling thus to life''s jocund morning? |
14237 | A minister was once asked,"Do you not believe christianity upon its evidences?" |
14237 | Am I able to support a family? |
14237 | And are they not more suitable for the Christian home than any other? |
14237 | And are you, then, in your marriage, agreed to walk with the unbeliever in the broad road of sin and death? |
14237 | And do you think that, continuing thus, you will be admitted into that heavenly home where there is one unbroken voice of prayer and praise to God? |
14237 | And further, can you spend your time to better purpose than in family prayer? |
14237 | And if this church- founding sacrament brings your child into a living and saving relation to the church, then why deny it that baptism? |
14237 | And in doing this for God, are you not also doing it for the child,--yea, if you are Christian parents,--for yourselves? |
14237 | And is it not a matter of daily observation that the wickedness of the parent is entailed upon the child? |
14237 | And is not their influence as salutary? |
14237 | And shall any other kind save Christian habits, be found in the Christian home? |
14237 | And shall not all, our blessings brighter drop From hands we loved so well? |
14237 | And shall we refuse the tribute of sorrow to the memory of those dear ones who sleep beneath the sod? |
14237 | And the Lord said unto him, who hath made man''s mouth? |
14237 | And the question at once arises, what kind of a whip? |
14237 | And then in the dark hour of home separation and bereavement, when the question is put to thee, mourning parents,"Is it well with the child? |
14237 | And then what will become of your child if he is ignorant of any pursuit in which to engage for a subsistence? |
14237 | And was the only victim thou couldst find, An infant in its mother''s arms reclined?" |
14237 | And were not Lois and Eunice rewarded for their faithfulness to young Timothy? |
14237 | And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? |
14237 | And what is home? |
14237 | And what then is the first joyful cry of the fond parents, after the solemn ceremony is ended? |
14237 | And who are they that are dying without hope and without God? |
14237 | And why is this so often done? |
14237 | And will not the curse rest upon you? |
14237 | And will not the day soon come when you must"give an account of your stewardship?" |
14237 | And yet with the plainest teachings of the gospel before them, is it not strange that there are so many virulent enemies to infant baptism? |
14237 | And, tell me, does the true Christian desire any other than a Christian home? |
14237 | Are they not as beautiful as other names? |
14237 | Are we complemental to each other? |
14237 | Are we congenial in spirit, sentiment, principle, cultivation, education, morals and religion? |
14237 | Are you ashamed of your children? |
14237 | Are you not, Christian parents, responsible to God for the exercise of such sovereign power over the character and well- being of your dear children? |
14237 | Art thou free, or enslaved to a routine, the daily machinery of habit? |
14237 | As a family we daily need and receive mercies, daily sin, are tempted and in danger every day; why not then as a family daily pray? |
14237 | As infants, therefore, are subjects of grace, why not subjects also of baptism? |
14237 | As they are included in the covenant, why not enter it by the divinely constituted sacrament of initiation? |
14237 | As they are included in the plan of salvation, why not receive it in a churchly way? |
14237 | Ashamed of what? |
14237 | Because they desire to bring them into the fold and bosom of the church, and place them in saving relations to the means of grace? |
14237 | Because they wish to express their vows of dedication in that sacramental form and way which God has appointed? |
14237 | Besides, is it not the right, yea, the duty of parents to bias their children in favor of the religious creed of the parental home? |
14237 | But if out of Christ there is no salvation, then tell me, how will infants be saved? |
14237 | But if they had lived, might they not also have been a source of the deepest sorrow and misery? |
14237 | But was it such? |
14237 | But what is family prayer? |
14237 | But what_ is_ home,--home in the sphere of nature? |
14237 | But why neglect family prayer? |
14237 | Can I discharge the duties of a household? |
14237 | Can he be the head of a Christian home? |
14237 | Can he think of that mother''s prayers and teachings and tears of solicitude, and not feel deeply, and often savingly, his own guilt and ingratitude? |
14237 | Can saint and sinner be of one mind, one spirit, one life, one hope, one interest? |
14237 | Can the irreligious parent bring up his offspring"in the nurture and admonition of the Lord?" |
14237 | Can the ungodly wife or husband fulfill this mission? |
14237 | Can there be family religion when husband and wife are traveling to eternity in opposite roads? |
14237 | Can these now walk together, live in harmony, when so widely different in spirit, in their aims and pursuits? |
14237 | Can these walk together, in domestic union and harmony? |
14237 | Can they reflect upon their daughters for forming improper attachments and alliances? |
14237 | Can they wonder if their sons become desperadoes, and ridicule the religion of their parents? |
14237 | Can this be right? |
14237 | Can we sympathize and work harmoniously together in mind and heart and will and taste? |
14237 | Could I be happy with such an one? |
14237 | Dare you reverse the divine procedure which God has ordained for the salvation of His people? |
14237 | Did not God punish the first born of Israel, because their fathers had sinned? |
14237 | Did not the Spartan mother and her home give character to the Spartan nation? |
14237 | Did they go to these places under the holy influence of devout and faithful parents? |
14237 | Do not the tears of the Christian home reflect the tears of Jesus? |
14237 | Do we not love it? |
14237 | Do you desire to refine and elevate their souls with beauty and sublimity? |
14237 | Do you love yourself? |
14237 | Do you permit your sick to die rather than to inflict the pain of giving them the medicine to cure? |
14237 | Do you regard your own comfort and welfare? |
14237 | Do you wish them to come under the influence of eloquent oration? |
14237 | Do you wish to inspire them with song? |
14237 | Does not the parent''s faith forbid the intrusion of a doctrine so revolting as this? |
14237 | Does the gospel place them under such a ban of proscription? |
14237 | Dr. Johnson was once asked,"Who is the most miserable man?" |
14237 | From the faithful Christian home? |
14237 | HOME AS A STEWARDSHIP.--What is a Steward? |
14237 | Had they pious fathers and mothers? |
14237 | Have Parents a right to take any part in the Marriage Choice of their Children? |
14237 | Have not I the Lord? |
14237 | Have parents a right to take any part in the marriage choice and alliance of their children? |
14237 | Have they a right to interfere in any respect with the marriage of their children? |
14237 | Have thoughts and associations like these no demoralizing influence? |
14237 | Have you no time? |
14237 | Have you, pious mother, as you pressed your child to your bosom, ever thought that it would one day be a witness for or against you? |
14237 | Here is a habit of action: is it godly? |
14237 | Here is a habit of conversation: is it holy? |
14237 | Here, for instance, is a habit being formed,--habit of thought: is it pure? |
14237 | How can he bring up his children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord? |
14237 | How can parents admonish their children against novel reading after they have taken their names from novels? |
14237 | How can the unbeliever return, like David, to bless his household? |
14237 | How soon may beauty fade; and what then, if it was the only basis of your marriage choice? |
14237 | If Christ is the Saviour of infants, why not bring them to Him through baptism? |
14237 | If our tent- home stirs up within us imperishable joys, by the power of anticipation and foretaste, what joy will not that better land afford? |
14237 | If so, then are we not responsible for our habits? |
14237 | If so, then is it not plain that baptism goes before the self- conscious faith of the subject? |
14237 | If so, then why object to infant baptism? |
14237 | If the members of your household may he ruined here by a bad example, what will be its consequences in the eternal world? |
14237 | If"out of the mouths of babes and sucklings God has perfected praise,"then why not train them up to praise Him? |
14237 | Is it all of home, religious culture to bias them to a particular creed? |
14237 | Is it for money you have them led to the bridal altar? |
14237 | Is it not, therefore, a matter of momentous interest to the Christian home, that it establish habits of the right kind and quality? |
14237 | Is it possible that a book at once so simple and sublime, can be the work, of men?" |
14237 | Is not every privilege a duty? |
14237 | Is not true piety of more importance than education, affluence or social distinction? |
14237 | Is such, Christian brother, the sympathy of your home? |
14237 | Is that person suited for me? |
14237 | Is this always so? |
14237 | Is this the will of God? |
14237 | It involves the great question, what should Christian parents leave to their children as a true inheritance from the Christian home? |
14237 | No languid wretch who long''d, but long''d in vain, For thy cold hand to cool his fiery pain? |
14237 | O, who would linger, Fainting, fearing, and athirst, When before us lies a region Where undying pleasures burst?" |
14237 | Oh, what is home without a title to, and personal meetness for, that kingdom? |
14237 | Oh, what is life without these? |
14237 | Or tell that the buds of the heart at the dawning, Were destined to wither and perish at noon? |
14237 | Passed to your glorious rest so swiftly on, And left me weeping here? |
