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''IT''S DREADFUL, ISN''T IT?''
39554''Ida,''he said at last,''what are you thinking of?

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''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?
39554After that it would have been impossible to go on being vexed with any one, would n''t it?
39554And Esmé''s just a----''''A what?''
39554And 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?"
39554And the little ones too, Ida?''
39554And very likely, Doddie, things_ will_ get broken, more than----''''What are you talking about, my dear child?''
39554Another still smaller wild beast of some kind, or what?
39554Are they not beginning to take away the iron room already?''
39554Boys, is there a gun about the place?''
39554But I wonder who the new one coming can be?''
39554But mother is quite strong except for rheumatism, and really who_ could_ have rheumatism in this dry, fragrant air?
39554But now,''and she held out her hand,''you will let me tell your lines?
39554But there''s one point you''ve forgotten, Ida, and mamma too, have n''t you?--where is this wonderful chair affair to be kept?''
39554But, auntie-- I was going to tell you all about it to- day-- you believe me, do n''t you?''
39554CHAPTER V''WHAT_ CAN_ SHE MEAN?''
39554Can he have broken loose?''
39554Did balloons come in vans, and what had we to do with them?
39554Did n''t you hear the rattling, Mr. Trevor-- didn''t you see--_this_?''
39554Do you dislike this boy-- what is his name-- oh yes, Rolf-- Rolf Dacre-- that she writes about?''
39554For you would be very sorry not to go on with Mr. Lloyd-- wouldn''t you, Dods?''
39554Has he bitten you?''
39554How can you imagine such a thing?
39554How would that do?
39554I could rig up a little tent, or-- I would n''t much mind sleeping in Barnes''s hut?''
39554I do n''t think I shall mind that part of it so_ very_ much, Dods-- shall you?''
39554I exclaimed, horrified,''where_ did_ you learn anything so vulgar--"last Sunday as ever was"?
39554I 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?
39554I was velly neely drowned, was n''t I?
39554I-- I only bought him this morning from the keeper at Millings-- you know Millings?''
39554If----''''If what?''
39554Is he quite good with strangers?''
39554Is he your son, or your grandson?''
39554Is it any use beginning before papa and mamma come down, do you think?''
39554Is it anything particular?''
39554Is your inspiration the old parish room?
39554It''s the jolliest thing you ever saw, Dods-- isn''t it, mamma?
39554Might n''t you perhaps gain a scholarship, or whatever you call them, that would make school cost less?''
39554Oh,_ do n''t_ you wish, Ida, we could live here always?''
39554Rolf by this time was saying:''Will you introduce me to your cousins?
39554Shall we sit down here a little?
39554Soldier,"she said,"will you tell me your name, so that mamma can write to thank you?"
39554That does sound very''Irish,''does it not?
39554The iron room they want to get rid of?
39554The only thing is-- Why did you not unmask yourself at once?
39554There is n''t really very much more to do, is there?
39554There might be a partitioned- off little room for me, and a large curtain might do to separate mamma from you and Esmé?''
39554They 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?
39554This sounds rather hard upon him, does n''t it, considering he was fully a year younger than she?
39554Was n''t it sweet of her to think that?
39554Was n''t that nice of him?
39554Well, one morning, ever so long ago, as I said----''''Do you mean fifty years ago, or a hundred perhaps?''
39554What could he mean?
39554What was it?
39554What was it?''
39554What would mamma say if she heard you?''
39554What_ do_ you think it is?
39554Where can they all be, I wonder?''
39554Where_ could_ we put any one?''
39554Will you ever forgive me?
39554Will you join us at our schoolroom tea and forgive its being rather a scramble after all this upset?''
39554You 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!
43936Am I really wonderful?
43936And are n''t you?
43936And back to Kansas?
43936And now,said Dorothy,"how am I to get back to Kansas?"
43936And she let you go again?
43936And what became of them?
43936And why is that?
43936Are n''t they beautiful?
43936Are there any other lions in this forest?
43936Are there many of these mice which call you Queen and are willing to obey you?
43936Are you a Munchkin?
43936Are you going?
43936Are you not a great Wizard?
43936Are you not going to make them your slaves?
43936Are you sure that Oz will see you?
43936But could n''t you be mended?
43936But how about my courage?
43936But how about the voice?
43936But is it a kind heart?
43936But is n''t everything here green?
43936But suppose we can not?
43936But this is terrible,said the Tin Woodman;"how shall I ever get my heart?"
43936Ca n''t you get down?
43936Ca n''t you give me brains?
43936Can you tell us where the Emerald City is?
43936Certainly,answered the Scarecrow;"how do you do?"
43936Did n''t you know water would be the end of me?
43936Did you groan?
43936Did you speak?
43936Do n''t you suppose we could rescue them?
43936Do you not see us?
43936Do you think Oz could give me courage?
43936Do you think,he asked,"If I go to the Emerald City with you, that the great Oz would give me some brains?"
43936Does he never go out?
43936Does n''t anyone else know you''re a humbug?
43936Glinda is a good Witch, is n''t she?
43936Have you any?
43936Have you brains?
43936How about my heart?
43936How can I cross the desert?
43936How can I get there?
43936How can I get to her castle?
43936How can I help being a humbug,he said,"when all these people make me do things that everybody knows ca n''t be done?
43936How do you feel now?
43936How do you feel?
43936How far is it to the Castle of Glinda?
43936How far is it to the Emerald City?
43936How long will it be,the child asked of the Tin Woodman,"before we are out of the forest?"
43936How shall we cross the river?
43936How shall we get down?
43936How was it that you appeared to me as a great Head?
43936How, then, are we to find her?
43936How?
43936How?
43936I never killed anything, willingly,she sobbed;"and even if I wanted to, how could I kill the Wicked Witch?
43936I''m pretty well, thank you,replied Dorothy, politely;"how do you do?"
43936If I put an end to your enemy will you bow down to me and obey me as King of the Forest?
43936Is he a good man?
43936Is he made of tin, or stuffed?
43936Is he stuffed?
43936Is he tame?
43936Is n''t it a beauty?
43936Is the Wicked Witch really destroyed?
43936Is there anything we can do,it asked,"to repay you for saving the life of our Queen?"
43936Is there no one who can help me?
43936Of course not,answered Dorothy;"how should I?"
43936Or I my brains?
43936Or I my courage?
43936Really?
43936This is strange,exclaimed Dorothy;"what shall we do?"
43936To be sure they could,cried the Scarecrow;"why did n''t we think of that before?"
43936Well, then, what can be done?
43936What are the Kalidahs?
43936What are your commands?
43936What can I do for you, my child?
43936What can I do for you?
43936What can we do to save him?
43936What can we do, then?
43936What did you say?
43936What do you wish?
43936What is he like?
43936What is it?
43936What is it?
43936What is that?
43936What is that?
43936What is your trouble?
43936What makes you a coward?
43936What must I do?
43936What promise?
43936What shall we do now?
43936What shall we do now?
43936What shall we do now?
43936What shall we do?
43936What shall we do?
43936What was that?
43936When shall we start?
43936Where did you get the mark upon your forehead?
43936Where is Kansas?
43936Where is he?
43936Where is the Emerald City?
43936Where is this City?
43936Where is this great spider of yours now?
43936Which road leads to the Wicked Witch of the West?
43936Who are the Munchkins?
43936Who are the Wizards?
43936Who are you, and where are you going?
43936Who are you, and why do you seek me?
43936Who are you?
43936Who are you?
43936Who is Aunt Em?
43936Who is Glinda?
43936Who melted her?
43936Who will go first?
43936Why are those needles and pins sticking out of your head?
43936Why did n''t you walk around the hole?
43936Why do n''t you run and jump?
43936Why do you have to obey the charm of the Golden Cap?
43936Why do you want water?
43936Why do you wish to see Oz?
43936Why not?
43936Why should I do this for you?
43936Why should I do this for you?
43936Why should I do this?
43936Why should I give you courage?
43936Why, do n''t you know?
43936Why?
43936Why?
43936Will you take me to her?
43936Wo n''t they hurt me?
43936Wo n''t you go with me?
43936Wo n''t you tell me a story, while we are resting?
43936A woman opened it just far enough to look out, and said,"What do you want, child, and why is that great Lion with you?"
43936Among them was the Queen herself, who asked, in her squeaky little voice,"What can I do for my friends?"
43936As 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?"
43936At 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?"
43936But how can I help it?"
43936But tell me, is it a civilized country?"
43936But what do you want?"
43936But what shall we do?"
43936But, comrades, what shall we do now?"
43936Can you help me find my way?"
43936Dorothy at once ran back to the cottage and found the oil- can, and then she returned and asked, anxiously,"Where are your joints?"
43936Dorothy then gave her the Golden Cap, and the Witch said to the Scarecrow,"What will you do when Dorothy has left us?"
43936Finally he said:"Why not call the Winged Monkeys, and asked them to carry you over the desert?"
43936How can she do so?"
43936How did you get me out?"
43936How did you happen to be here?"
43936How did you manage to escape the great Wildcat?"
43936If you, who are Great and Terrible, can not kill her yourself, how do you expect me to do it?"
43936Is the other one stuffed, also?"
43936Shall we go there?"
43936She had such a frightened little voice that Dorothy stopped and said,"Why not?"
43936The King bowed low before Dorothy, and asked,"What is your command?"
43936The Tin Woodman, raising his axe, rushed toward the little man and cried out,[ Illustration]"Who are you?"
43936Then Oz asked,"What do you wish me to do?"
43936Then he said:"Do you suppose Oz could give me a heart?"
43936Then said the voice:"Where did you get the silver shoes?"
43936Then 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?
43936Then the Witch looked at the big, shaggy Lion and asked,"When Dorothy has returned to her own home, what will become of you?"
43936There was another Munchkin with him, and the first thing I heard was the farmer saying,"''How do you like those ears?''
43936They looked again in every part of the room, and then, seeing no one, Dorothy asked,"Where are you?"
43936They 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?"
43936Turning to the Tin Woodman, she asked:"What will become of you when Dorothy leaves this country?"
43936What could the little woman possibly mean by calling her a sorceress, and saying she had killed the wicked Witch of the East?
43936What do you command?"
43936What do you mean by coming here and frightening my cow?"
43936What ever shall we do?"
43936What is that little animal you are so tender of?"
43936When he saw Dorothy and her companions the man asked,"What do you wish in the Emerald City?"
43936When they reached the castle Dorothy said to the Winkies,"Are any of your people tinsmiths?"
43936When, at last, he came back, Dorothy asked,"Have you seen Oz?"
43936Who are you, and why do you seek me?"
43936Who are you, and why do you seek me?"
43936Who are you, and why do you seek me?"
43936Why do you seek me?"
43936Wo 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?"
43936are you back again?"
43936asked Dorothy;"the Munchkin farmer who made you?"
43936asked the Scarecrow, when he had stretched himself and yawned,"and where are you going?"
43936cried Dorothy;"are you a real witch?"
43936exclaimed the girl;"are you going with me?"
43936he enquired;"and who is Oz?"
43936said the girl, anxiously;"what will protect him?"
43936said the princess;"ca n''t you see these are strangers, and should be treated with respect?"
43936she cried, folding the little girl in her arms and covering her face with kisses;"where in the world did you come from?"
16800And when people have no house, and no money, and nothing left, where do they go? 16800 Are his manners disagreeable?"
16800But perhaps you are not familiar with ceramic terms?
16800But why is she attractive to so many people?
16800But,I suggested,"do n''t you think that is caused by acute indigestion?"
16800But-- my duty to my neighbor?
16800Charlie,she said, plaintively, to her youngest boy,"what would you do if poor mamma were to get very sick?"
16800Checking?
16800Do you eat and sleep tolerably well?
16800Does your husband think a full beard becoming to him?
16800From indigestion?
16800Have you a mortgage on that place?
16800How could she write it? 16800 How many did you let her see?"
16800How much does your table cost you per week?
16800How much is the mortgage?
16800Is he bad?
16800Is he such a fool? 16800 Is not that used now as a general term for earthenware decorated with color?"
16800Papa,she observed,"it is all finished, is n''t it?"
16800Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit?
16800Shams?
16800Then, what is so disagreeable about him?
16800Was that gown very expensive?
16800What could I say of you Katy?
16800What does she eat?
16800What makes the difference between those two carriages?
16800What rent do you pay?
16800What would you do?
16800What, for instance, have been some of your works since you have been in this country?
16800When is he sober?
16800Why not?
16800Why should he when she had enough for both?
16800Why were those newel posts oiled before they were set up?
16800Why? 16800 Yet you say she is his own sister?"
16800You 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?"
16800After 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?
16800After the exit of the principal actors in the poem, we are told that the following conversation ensued:"What makes the lamb love Mary so?"
16800Again I ask,_ cui bono?_ CHAPTER IX.
16800Among others was the query:"How many grains of the medicine does your father take every day?"
16800And after all the years of parental indulgence, what is your reward?
16800And if we do have to drink skim milk, shall we throw away the cream on that account?
16800And 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?
16800Are girls, take them as a rule, as well- bred as boys?
16800Before relegating them to the attic or ragpicker, would it not be prudent and pleasant to preserve the laces with which they were trimmed?
16800But-- suppose he were not a good man, what then?
16800But--_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.
16800Ca n''t I help you?"
16800Can the same be said of the child of to- day?
16800Could the mere fact of his union with her change his entire nature?
16800Did the loyal soul find that marriage paid?
16800Do they starve to death?"
16800Do you remember how genuine your distresses then seemed?
16800Does she bewail herself that her sphere is small-- limited?
16800Even a wealthy woman who can make work easy(?)
16800Even 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?
16800FAMILIAR OR INTIMATE?
16800Familiar, or Intimate?
16800For is not a coarse woman always more abhorrent than a coarse man?
16800Had his been a coarse brutal nature, would not the idea of reformation have been still more hopeless?
16800Have you ever noticed it?
16800Have you never had a whole day brightened by some seemingly chance remark which warmed the cockles of your heart with a delicious glow?
16800Have you noticed how, as soon as you can laugh over a vexation, the sting of it is gone?
16800How could she bring herself to put that down in black and white with the memory of the baby she has lost, in her mind?"
16800How could she, with the grim doors of the home for the county paupers yawning blackly to receive her?
16800How would you receive this or that correction?
16800I look up, bewildered, from an essay to which I have just set the caption--"Who is my Neighbor?"
16800I thought he was considered rather bright?"
16800I told the story of my bearded youth and asked:"Where then is the safe ground?
16800IS MARRIAGE REFORMATORY?
16800If a man can describe it all so well, what could a woman do?
16800If we thus openly defy all her laws, can we wonder if the kind but just mother calls us to account for it?
16800In 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?)
16800In this commonplace, fearfully real world, what would we do without the blessed Gospel of Conventionalities?
16800Is Marriage Reformatory?
16800Is it any wonder that mothers sometimes become discouraged?
16800Is it to be wondered at that caustic critics of human nature and inconsistencies catalogue marriage for the wife under the head of mendicancy?
16800Is it true that in morals there is no stated, infallible and eternal gauge--"the measure of a man-- that is, of an angel?"
16800Is n''t she as able to"swing corners"holding on to a strap as I?
16800Is not smooth, neat linen to take the precedence of trimming and starch?
16800Is not the opposition consequent upon the universal desire to set other people right, the breath that blows the flame?
16800Is 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?
16800Is she willing to see her children''s blood tainted by his vices, their lives wrecked by evil temptations inherited from him?
16800Let us quietly take hold of ourselves and ask ourselves the plain question,"Are we nervous, or cross?"
16800May I add one word to those whom we, in exasperation, are apt to call aggressively strong?
16800May it not be that the manipulation then acquired still serves him?
16800May not this explanation, while rather far- fetched, afford some clue to the causes of personal popularity?
16800Nobody is so besotted as to ask,"Does dram- drinking pay?"
16800Not long ago, I asked of an acquaintance who is a wonderful reader of character:"Why has Mrs. S---- so many good friends?"
16800Please tell me who taught her to play with it?"
16800SHALL, I PASS IT ON?
16800Shall I Pass It On?
16800She loves her family, and while they are sometimes very trying, who could expect her to bear a grudge against the dear ones?
16800Since there were at least one or two pleasant features in the landscape, why could he not call attention to them?
16800Such are touching a lady on arm or shoulder to attract her attention, inquiring"What say?"
16800Then why call the attention of others to the circumstances that they are guilty of the same weakness, if such it be?
16800Then why"give the piece of your mind,"which you can never take back?
16800Then, what would you do?"
16800To come down to"hard pan"--whence originates this unwholesome dread of ripeness and maturity?
16800Under such provocation does not murder assume the guise of justifiable homicide?
16800Undoubtedly he was extremely impertinent; but did not the interference of the grandparent justify the rebuke?
16800WHAT GOOD WILL IT DO?
16800Was that grief so much more sensible than this, or do you love her less now?
16800What Good Will It Do?
16800What business have these people to interfere?
16800What do you think that blessed innocent did?
16800What does Charles take her for?
16800What does the Bible say of the hypocrite?
16800What good will it do?
16800What if John''s mother has disagreeable peculiarities?
16800What is the baneful spirit which tempts the gentlest of us to take more pleasure in calling attention to a fault than to a virtue?
16800When is it altogether reputable for one to declare his real age?"
16800When your"frank friend(?)"
16800Whin they think me cross, it''s only that I''m a bit quoiet, an''who can wonder?
16800Who will send me news of the formation of the first Chapter of the H.P.U.?
16800Who would not rather be a healer than a scarifier?
16800Why does not a kind Father mean for us to profit by the one as much as by the other?
16800Why expect him to take these on trust any more than you expect the daughters to do this?
16800Why keep a dog and do your own barking?"
16800Why not let her do it?
16800Why should he not give credit to the same source?
16800Why should our preferences, our likes or dislikes be of more account than those of thousands of other people?
16800Why then this rooted hatred and horror of step- mothers?
16800Why torture them by a mere form?"
16800Why, then, yield to the disposition to attempt the impracticable?
16800Woman''s work is quite as dignified as man''s, and why should it not be arranged as carefully and systematically?
16800Would it not have been wiser as well as neater, for her to have plain, untrimmed underwear, and iron it without starching?
16800Would the game have been worth the candle?
16800Would what St. James graphically describes as"foaming out of their own shame,"finally froth itself into silence?
16800Yet what good will it do to point out to them their mistakes?
16800You''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.
16800and to hold her own perpendicular in the aisle?
16800did you touch my foot?_''"The incident is essentially John- esque.
16800do you think it is pretty to do that?"
16800or what good comes from the remark that she is"sprightly, but not very deep?"
16800or"Is that so?"
16800quavered the little voice,"do n''t you think that is dreadful?"
16800what shall eclipse The pain of our childish woes?
16800with a long- drawn sigh of wretchedness,"is n''t it_ awful_ to be poor?"
10516Are n''t the colors pretty?
10516Are n''t you going to dinner, mamma?
10516Boy, what does it mean?
10516But 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?"
10516Do n''t you see that you are right in my light? 10516 Do you think I shall say it to- day?"
10516Do you think he could,she replied,"when he sees that I am only trying to save him from pain?"
10516Do you want me to show you how you are sitting?
10516Is the table a good one?
10516Little boy,said I, solemnly,"do you see that sign?"
10516Mamma, are you sure I shall ever say it?
10516May I trouble you for that cricket?
10516Oh, excuse me, but your head is between me and the light: could you see as well if you moved a little?
10516Oh, mamma, mamma,cried Blue Eyes,"ca n''t I have my little tea- set on a little table beside your big table?
10516Please, ma''am, wo n''t you buy a basket?
10516Was there ever such an awkward child?
10516Well, dear?
10516What can I do?
10516What do_ you_ think?
10516What is there to do to- day?
10516What, then?
10516Where do you sell the most?
10516Why must I?
10516Why?
10516Will you allow your children to stay at this party until half- past eleven?
10516Will you have the apple, or the orange? 10516 Will you have the horseback ride to- day, or the opera to- morrow night?
10516Wo n''t you come under my umbrella?
10516Would it hinder you too long to stop at the store for me? 10516 Would you be so very kind as to close that window?"
10516You 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?
10516A very few minutes of this were more than I could bear; and, almost crying, I said,"Why, mamma, what makes you do so?"
10516All the other children go; and what can I do?"
10516And how much better off are they who never threw a stone in their lives than the rude mob who throw them all the time?
10516And in cases where the wares are simply stolen, shall there be no redress?
10516And 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?
10516And there are poverty and sickness, and there is not time?
10516And to whose later thought has it not occurred that in this mimic little show lay bound up the whole of life?
10516And who wants to throw stones?
10516And, after all, what would the sacrifice of even two days be, in comparison with the time saved in years to come?
10516And, as for words, who shall express their feebleness in midst of strength?
10516Are not all cherubs such as he?"
10516Are we not decked in the whole of color, feasted on all that shape and sound and flavor can give?
10516Are we not wiser each moment than we were the moment before?
10516Art and science, are they not our slaves,--coining money and running mills?
10516As I followed on, I heard the two children, who were walking behind, saying to each other,"Would n''t that have been too bad?
10516At what hour, or day, may I look for you?"
10516But how much of what is written, printed, and read to- day about the men and women of to- day comes under these heads?
10516But if the trade must continue, can we not insist that the profits be shared?
10516But what shall we say of the old- clothes mongers in journalism?
10516But who could bear a mixture of both?
10516But who lives in any thing else, nowadays?
10516But why say it?
10516But why, having once learned to speak, does the baby leave off speaking when it becomes a man or a woman?
10516But"what can she do?"
10516But, because one has a goal, must one be torn by poisoned spurs?
10516Ca n''t you see that there is not room enough for two people here?"
10516Can it be possible that all this comfort and economy for lodgers are compatible with profits for landlords?
10516Can we be sure of living as long as they live?
10516Can we stand by, each minute of each hour of each day, and say to the automata, Go here, or Go there?
10516Can we wind them up like seventy- year clocks, and leave them?
10516Dare we think what would be the formula in statement of spiritual life which would be correlative to the"law of continuity"?
10516Did you think I had done my dinner this afternoon when I got excused?
10516Do many people feel what a wonderful thing it is that each human being is born into the world with his own smile?
10516Do not the blind see, the deaf hear, and the crippled dance?
10516Do we?
10516Every few minutes he would come and stand before her, and say very earnestly,"Are you sure I shall say it?"
10516Face to face with a joy, a sorrow, would a symphony avail us?
10516For 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?"
10516For what reason is he to do this?"
10516Give him a comfortable seat?
10516Give him some honey, even if there is not enough to go round?
10516Has not Nature surrendered to us?
10516Has not living become subject to a magician''s"presto"?
10516Have we not built and multiplied religions, till each man, even the most irreligious, can have his own?
10516He is tired and cold; he does not want to study-- who would?
10516Her uniform atmosphere of contentedness so impressed and surprised me that, at last, I said to Franz, the head waiter,--"What makes Gretchen so happy?
10516How could her husband have married her?
10516How dare you think you can pity Anton?
10516How many boys of twelve hear such words as these from tired, overburdened mothers?
10516How many communities, how many households even, are without a tyrant?
10516How many women can say to themselves or others that this is their aim?
10516How should their muscles be good for any thing?
10516I asked;"because they do not wish to have their children educated?"
10516I do n''t think I deserved any at all; do you?"
10516I exclaimed, in involuntary admiration;"what are you doing?"
10516I hate little boys''?"
10516I have more than once said to a parent who used these words,"Will you tell me just what you mean by that?
10516I involuntarily exclaimed,"Have you known many such cases?"
10516If 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?
10516If smiles may not be used for weapons or masks, of what use are they?
10516If they will only try and keep alive till we get home, we will make them very happy in some water; wo n''t we?
10516If 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?
10516In a few moments he laid down his knife and fork, and said,"Mamma, will you please to excuse me?"
10516In angry surprise at not finding him in the seat where they left him, they exclaimed,--"Now, where_ is_ that boy?
10516Is not to- day brilliant, marvellous, beautiful?
10516Is not what is called the"movement of the age"going on at the highest rate of speed and of sound?
10516Is there a greater misery than to be hurried?
10516It may be asked, and not unnaturally, how does this lodging- house system work for those who keep the houses?
10516Left unmentioned, unforbidden, who knows how soon they might die out of men''s lives, perhaps even from the earth''s surface?
10516Let him wear his best jacket, and buy him half as many neckties as his sister has?
10516Listen tolerantly to his little bragging, and help him"do"his sums?
10516No calculation for the inevitable progress of human knowledge?
10516No provision for an added enlightenment?
10516No room for a wholesome, healthy doubt?
10516Nobody 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?"
10516Now, when is your boy to learn these lessons?
10516Oh, who can describe him?
10516On the other hand, looking at all existences as organisms, shall we be disturbed at seeming failure?--long periods of apparent inactivity?
10516Once, when he was sick, he said,"Mamma, do you think I could have said G any sooner than I did?"
10516Or is it something which the adult has and the child had not?
10516Shall we believe, for instance, that Christ''s great church can be really hindered in its appropriate cycle of progressive change and adaptation?
10516Shall 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?
10516Shall we not sometimes answer his questions?
10516Shall 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?
10516Shall we say any thing of those of us who die between our seventh and eighteenth spiritual month?
10516Shall we try those methods and that pace on our journeys?
10516Should 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?
10516Simply as the weaker yields to the stronger,--almost as matter yields to force?
10516Somebody who has written stories( is it Dickens?)
10516That any true membership of this organic body can be formed or annulled by mere human interference?
10516The fettered helplessness in spite of which they soar to such heights?
10516The mother said,"How shall I divide this?
10516The principle is the same; and if the principle be right, why not multiply methods?
10516Then 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?
10516There is the house to be kept?
10516This is too hard?
10516To create and sustain the atmosphere of a home,--it is easily said in a very few words; but how many women have done it?
10516Upon whom, then, shall we lay earnest hands?
10516Vegetables?
10516Wait and not reprove him till after the company has gone?
10516Was the breakfast- room door much more likely to be shut the next morning?
10516What are one hundred and twenty millions of men, more or less?
10516What do you mean by such conduct?"
10516What genius could rise superior to it, could be itself, surrounded by such uncertainties?
10516What have they in common?
10516What is a man, more or less?
10516What is it which the child has and the adult loses, from the loss of which comes this total change of behavior?
10516What is quiet in comparison with riches?
10516What is to be done to prevent this acrid look of misery from becoming an organic characteristic of our people?
10516What is to become of this helpless machine, which has no central spring of independent action?
10516What shape will she make of that child''s soul?
10516What should we do without him?
10516What, then, is the fine art of smiling?
10516What, then, is to be done?
10516When human beings, then, are neither boys nor men, girls nor women, they must be for a few years anomalous creatures, must they?
10516When shall we have a Cuvier, a Huxley, a Tyndall for the immaterial world,--the realm of spiritual existence, moral growth?
10516Whenever he leaves her, her farewell is not,"How soon do you think you shall come back?
10516Where does this abnormal, uncomfortable period come in?
10516Where was the genial, laughing, talking lady who had been my friend up to that moment?
10516Who does not believe that the image of God could have been beautiful on all?
10516Who does not know such faces?
10516Who does not remember when to"play house"was their chief of plays?
10516Who has not felt the very soul writhe within her as she has first crossed the threshold of one of these dismal antechambers of journey?
10516Who has not heard this said?
10516Who has not heard voice from such apostles?
10516Who has not observed it?
10516Who knows when it was first said of a man laying up money,"He lays by for a rainy day"?
10516Who of us is not in prison?
10516Who of us is not living out his time of punishment?
10516Who would live in one, if he could help it?
10516Whose fault is it that they are not so?
10516Why do we dare to be so sure that they are not grieved by ungracious words and tones?
10516Why do we not always smile whenever we meet the eye of a fellow- being?
10516Why make four miseries out of three?
10516Why should days ever be dark, life ever be colorless?
10516Why, in New York( you live in New York, do n''t you?)
10516Will any physician tell us that this fact is not an element in that child''s physical condition at the end of that year?
10516Will he always act up to his highest moral perceptions?
10516Will the woman whose brain and heart are working these problems, as applied to a household, be an adjective?
10516Will you all stand still and not stir from this spot if I go?"
10516Would not fathers and mothers have cried out all over the land at the inhumanity of the idea?
10516You''ve got on a nice white dress: why ca n''t I?"
10516and 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?"
10516be idle?
10516between the success of the one and the failure of the other?
10516or digestion and long life in comparison with knowledge?
10516or"Why can not I?"
10516smile perpetually?"
10516that they can get used to being continually treated as if they were"in the way"?
10516why do n''t you_ make_ me say it?"
44481Do n''t you wish some friend would come along?
44481I 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?
44481What else should she want?
44481What will happen if an irresistible force meets an immovable body?
44481A man does not like that kind of a place-- and why should he?
44481A really suitable and profitable companion for a man instead of the bond- slave of a house?
44481All might compete on even terms if"love is enough,"as poets have claimed; but_ which could best provide for her children_?
44481And I?
44481And I?
44481And in particular how does it affect the home, and how does the home affect it?
44481And she gives in return--?
44481And what is maternity but one of nature''s processes of reproduction?
44481And why do the people who care most for the home-- our Anglo- Saxons-- care so little for beauty and art?
44481And, in such art- knowledge and art- growth as we have, why is it least manifested at home?
44481Are the children, then, perfectly fed at home?
44481Are the mothers to be credited with all that is good and the fathers with all that is bad?
44481Are we never to have a man- wife?
44481Are we so loosely attached to our homes as to give them up when some defects are pointed out?
44481As a matter of fact,_ are_ our children happy and prosperous, healthy and good, at home?
44481At what point in this long march of life was introduced that useful, blessed thing-- the home?
44481But apart from that virtue, what sense of honour do we find in the home- bound woman?
44481But does he thereafter maintain the same degree of devotion that he bestowed before?
44481But 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?
44481But how does our universally praised home- cooking affect our health?
44481But what real place has a grown woman of twenty- five and upwards in anyone else''s home?
44481But why revere some more than others, and the lower more than the higher?
44481By that strange assumption does she justify this refusal to keep step with the world?
44481Can it imagine a home, a real happy home, with the woman out of it for one hour a day?
44481Can it, encouraged by this step, picture the home as still enduring while the woman is out of it two hours a day?
44481Can not men see how deeply benefited they would be by this change, this growth of woman?
44481Can not the mother love it_ while the nurse takes care of it_?
44481Can we get at the causes of this department of human trouble?
44481Can we prove it?

44481Do we expect the mother to do justice to the child when the child is the offender and the mother the offended?
44481Do we hold a wigwam more sacred than a beast''s lair and less sacred than a modern home?

44481From what once normal base sprang this abnormal growth?

44481In the home who has any privacy?
44481In the house has grown the delicate beauty we admire, but are we right in so admiring?
44481In this kind of home-- and it is still the rule on earth-- what is the influence on man?
44481In this most vivid period of life how does the home meet the needs of the growing soul?
44481In this new field of social service, productive industry, what is the influence of the home?
44481In what does it consist?
44481In what way does a man best benefit his family?
44481In what way does a woman best benefit her family?
44481In what way is it specifically prepared for the use, enjoyment, and benefit of a child?
44481Is Home best valued as a place to hide?
44481Is all this outcry necessary?
44481Is he?
44481Is history a dream?
44481Is it better than Liberty, better than Justice, better than Art, Government, Science, Industry, Religion?
44481Is 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?
44481Is 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?
44481Is it not time that the home be freed from these industries so palpably out of place?
44481Is it really what she wants, all she wants?
44481Is it something new, something distinctively human, like the church, the school, or the post office?
44481Is it to keep her word inflexibly?

44481Is the girl satisfied?

44481Is the home, as the last stage of our elaborate processes of social nutrition, a success?
44481Is the home, as we have it, satisfying to the real needs of man''s nature; and if not, could it be improved?
44481Is the list of dietary diseases among our home- fed little ones a thing to boast of?
44481Is there any exact time of attendance required to make a home?
44481Is 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?

44481Is this so?
44481It is the duty of the child to care for the infirm parent-- that is not questioned; but how?
44481May we look, then, in homes of this class for an ideal influence on man?
44481Must the poor baby suffer by night and day; must the small child bang and yell, and must it be punished so frequently?
44481Must we then leave it-- lose it-- go without it?
44481No transportation, that at once;_ no roads_--why roads if all men stayed at home?
44481Now if, while the father was out, and the children were out, the mother should also be out, would the home disappear into thin air?
44481Now the father goes out every day; does the home cease to exist because of his hours away from it?
44481Now we do not seek to"attach"our butcher or baker or candlestick- maker; why our cook?
44481Now what is all this leading to?
44481Now what is the real effect upon the man?
44481Now, having laid aside both the general ideal and the pocket ideal, what do we see?
44481Now, how does this home really stand under dispassionate observation?

44481Or hats, or books, or waggons?
44481Or 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?
44481Our college girls have vast supplies of knowledge; how can they use it in the home?
44481Our lightly spoken phrase"What is home without a mother?"
44481Perhaps even, in some remote dream, no dining- room?
44481Perhaps we might; but do we?
44481Private?--a place private where we admit to the most intimate personal association an absolute stranger; or more than one?
44481Scrutinise the home, that sacred institution, and even question it?
44481She has enough to eat, enough and more than enough to wear; but what exercise has she for body or brain?
44481Such 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?
44481That our women cease to be an almost universal class of house- servants; plus a small class of parasitic idlers and greedy consumers of wealth?
44481That the expense of living be decreased by two- thirds and the productive labour increased by nine- twentieths?
44481The duty is precisely the same; why is the manner of fulfilling it so different?
44481The home is a beautiful ideal, but have we no others?
44481The work is only done for the family-- the family is satisfied-- what remains?
44481These are vital processes, healthy, natural, indispensable, but why sacred?
44481This is indeed necessary; for why should they pay for tuition, or even waste time in gratuitously studying, when they can get wages without?
44481To 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?

44481What is there in the presence of children in a house to alarm the owner?
44481What is there in this a man should dread?
44481What is to become of the unmarried daughter after the mother is gone?
44481What is, in truth, required to make a home?
44481What miracle does"a woman''s hand"work on this varying flood of change?
44481What ought it to cost?

44481What would houses be like if every man made his own?
44481What would shoes be like if every man made his own, if the shoemaker had never come to his development?
44481What, then, is the explanation of this lack of special provision for the real founder of the home?
44481Where are the limits and tendencies of these emotions?
44481Where is Children''s Day?
44481Where is her business, her trade, her art, her profession, her place in life?
44481Where water and light are thus fully socialised, why are we so shy of any similar progress in the supply of food?
44481Which could do most for her children?
44481Why did the people who cared most for beauty and art, the Greeks, care so little for the home?
44481Why do we dread having children, as many of our much- extolled mothers so keenly do?
44481Why does it not originate there?
44481Why does not the equally capable daughter_ do more_ to support her parent when it is necessary?
44481Why does she have to be herself the nurse and servant?
44481Why have not these?
44481Why have these stayed?
44481Why is it not good?
44481Why is not domestic architecture as good as public architecture?

44481Why was woman the first worker?
44481Why, in one way, by one child, and in so different a way by another?
44481Why, then, do we find in this line of development such hideously inartistic things?
44481Why, then, do we so fear a change in this field?
44481Why?
44481With all this time, labour, and expense given to the feeding of humanity, what are the results?
44481With our proven capacity, why do we manifest so little progress in industrial organisation and devotion?
44481Would any amount of love on the part of that inconceivable house- husband justify him in depriving his family of all the fruits of progress?
44481Would not such a home be good to come to, and would not its influence be wholly pleasant?
44481XIII THE GIRL AT HOME What is the position of the home toward us in youth?
44481Yes, but which hour of the day?
44481Yes, there is occupation enough as far as filling time goes; but how if it does not satisfy?
44481Yes?
44481and, when found, do they bear any relation to our beloved custom of home- cooking and home- eating?
44481wilt thou be mine?
22916''No''and''yes''both; not quite sure-- eh?
22916A great compliment; do n''t you think so yourself, Arthur?
22916And am I making mamma ill too? 22916 And what are you to do?
22916And what did you see?
22916And would not you, dear Arthur?
22916Any more questions?
22916Are you his cousin?
22916Arthur dear, is anything the matter?
22916Arthur,said Edgar,"I want you to have my Bible and my watch; will you?
22916Aunt Daisy,he said, when he had finished,"What shall you say, when you answer Edgar North''s aunt''s letter?"
22916Aunt Daisy,he said,"would you like me to take out that white fellow?"
22916Auntie,he said,"would there be any use in my writing a letter now?
22916But He will judge people, wo n''t He?
22916But what is coming?
22916But what is it?
22916But, Edgar,and Arthur looked very earnestly into his dark, sad eyes,"do n''t you wish you were?"
22916But, you know, he came on purpose to see Edgar; and do n''t you remember how very, very ill, Edgar is, Harold?
22916Dear 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?"
22916Did I say anything rude?
22916Did I?
22916Did he really? 22916 Did n''t your mother ever talk to you about it?"
22916Did you ask her to write to me?
22916Did you love your father very much?
22916Did your father go to India?
22916Do you always have your meals by yourselves?
22916Do 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?"
22916Do you mean that I am to live with some other person?
22916Do you often pray for me, mother? 22916 Do you often say those funny things, Arthur?"
22916Do you think it is well, Arthur?
22916Do you think so?
22916Do you think that will help you to understand?
22916Do you want to go?
22916Does he have dinner alone?
22916First of all, then, what is the name of her place?
22916Going to school, my boy-- eh?
22916Has Edgar written to you himself?
22916Have you anything you would like to do, dear, until dinner- time?
22916Have you been here long, then, and by yourself? 22916 Have you had a nice walk?"
22916He is tremendously strict, I suppose?
22916How am I queer?
22916How can I,asked Arthur,"without you?"
22916How did you know I was?
22916How do you know I am not?
22916How long would a telegram take getting there?
22916How was it horrid?
22916I dare say he thinks we are something like himself,said Gerald,"do n''t you?"
22916I do wish you would behave properly; what must Edgar''s friend think of you?
22916I wonder is the doctor going to stay there all night?
22916Is it to buy new clothes with, when I want any?
22916It seems like old times, eh, Daisy?
22916Mamma,he said in a low voice, which was very touchingly sad in its hopelessness,"need you go?
22916Minnie? 22916 Miss North,"said Arthur,"you did not mind your sister having taken me up stairs, did you?"
22916Mr. Arthur, will you come upstairs?
22916Now, Aunt Daisy, will you direct this, please?
22916Oh, mother, is it true what Anna says about Mildred, that she is so very ill?
22916Oh, that''s it-- eh? 22916 Oh,"said Arthur,"what, ten brothers and sisters at home?"
22916Papa,said Arthur presently,"what can you mean?
22916Shall I? 22916 She is ever so much better, are n''t you, mother?"
22916Should n''t you like to be?
22916Then are you never afraid, dear Arthur?
22916There''ll be lots of wild strawberries here soon,he said;"do n''t you like them?"
22916They would be your cousins, would they not?
22916Was it about me?
22916Was it in the town you lived, or the country?
22916Well, I daresay he likes to be obeyed,said Mrs. Vivyan;"but that is quite right, is n''t it?"
22916Well, 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?
22916Well, I suppose for me,said Arthur;"but, mother, is all that really for me?
22916Well, do n''t you think I had better go?
22916Well, how would you?
22916Well, if you know, what is the use of my telling?
22916Well, tell us where you are going then?
22916Well, then, you know all about it, I suppose?
22916Well, what shall I say?
22916Well, when is it?
22916Well, why do n''t you play then? 22916 Well,"said Arthur,"what have you to tell me?"
22916What about?
22916What can he mean, Aunt Daisy? 22916 What can it be, mother?"
22916What did he talk about?
22916What did it mean?
22916What do you generally do at home when you are not walking?
22916What is his name, mother?
22916What is it, my darling?
22916What is the use of liking?
22916What is this?
22916What kind of a face had she?
22916What kind of a place are we in, father?
22916What on earth is that for?
22916What shall I say, dear?
22916What was it, Arthur?
22916What would that be?
22916What''s the use of keeping on wishing, Maude?
22916What, dear?
22916What, the boys''school that mother told me about? 22916 Where are the railway rugs and the shawls?
22916Where shall you spend the holidays?
22916Who do you think?
22916Who is she? 22916 Who used you to live with then?"
22916Who, dear?
22916Why ca n''t you make them?
22916Why do n''t you come on?
22916Why do you hate it so very much?
22916Why not?
22916Why not?
22916Why should you think there was anything the matter, mother?
22916Why, dear?
22916Why, what can be the matter with baby?
22916Why, what''s the matter? 22916 Why-- what-- may I really?
22916Will that do?
22916Will you, Arthur? 22916 Wo n''t you take me with you, then?
22916Would you like to see some of the things that you are going to take away with you?
22916Wrong?
22916Yes, nurse,said Edgar,"is n''t it nice?"
22916Yes; and now, is she as ill as she was then?
22916Yes; where does she live?
22916You did not want to come, did you?
22916You do what your sister tells you more than the others,said Arthur,"do n''t you?"
22916You wo n''t lose your way?
22916_ Very_ ill?
22916And 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?''"
22916And am I going to India too?"
22916And 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?
22916And did he all this time forget his dear father and mother in the far- off land?
22916And is not that the cure for being careful and troubled about many things?
22916And then we can write to each other, you know, ca n''t we?"
22916And would he never hear her clear, soft voice calling"Artie, Artie"?
22916And, Edgar, do n''t you think He knows that you say it?
22916And, Edgar, was it not about heaven, and the way to get there?"
22916Are there not things to be done?
22916Are you sorry?"
22916Are you there, folded in His everlasting arms?"
22916Are you?"
22916Arthur did not quite know what to say himself, but he asked him after a moment--"Would you like to go for a walk?"
22916As soon as the other children saw Minnie and Arthur going away, there was a general cry,"Minnie, where are you going?"
22916But Arthur, my own, am I leaving you in a loving Saviour''s arms?
22916But he only said,"Is that what I shall have to call you, then?
22916But how are you going to get there?
22916But how can I help it?
22916But was she not making a mistake?
22916Can I?
22916Come here, sir; do you care?"
22916Could she not become a little child, as God has told us all to do?
22916Do n''t you remember those walks?
22916Do n''t you remember when we said you would?
22916Do n''t you think it would be a good thing for you to begin school?"
22916Do n''t you think so, darling?"
22916Do n''t you think you ought to stay?"
22916Do n''t you wish you could take me, father?"
22916Do you mean me to read your letter, auntie?
22916Do you really mean that you and mother are going out to India, and that you are going to leave me in England by myself?"
22916Do you think He would turn you away?
22916Do you think you will, Hector?
22916Does he wear spectacles?"
22916Does she live here?"
22916Eh, Daisy?"
22916Have you any windows that do n''t shut quite tightly, aunt?"
22916He seemed very much surprised at seeing Arthur; but all he said, when he came near was:"Well?"
22916How am I to learn?
22916How could I be afraid?"
22916How could I be?"
22916How could I?
22916How could it all have happened?
22916How do you mean, dear?"
22916How will she feel, and how shall I feel?
22916How would you like that-- eh?"
22916How_ can_ I help it?
22916I never thought he was so very ill. Do you think he is really going to die?"
22916Is anything the matter?"
22916Is it at all like this, mother?"
22916Is it not a happy thing to belong to the Lord Jesus Christ?
22916Is it not happy to be a lamb of that flock which has Jesus for its Shepherd?
22916Is it not sweet, my darling, to feel that He says to you now, while you are being left at home,''Thou art mine''?
22916Is it not the place where the Master would have His disciples, sitting at His feet, hearing His word?
22916Is not this a happy thought, my Arthur?
22916It will be pleasant to see aunt''s snug, warm house, wo n''t it, Arthur?"
22916May not such earthly joys show us a little what it will be to see the One whom, having not seen, we love?
22916Mother, may I say what I was thinking before you came in?"
22916Mr. 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?"
22916Mrs. Estcourt looked very much surprised as she said,"Why, how could that be, Arthur?
22916Must n''t I have a lot of new clothes, and ever so many things?"
22916Not going to have any more lessons?"
22916Now, what is the second?"
22916Oh, Edgar, why could n''t you have let me know?"
22916Oh, dear, dear, dear, and whatever will mistress do, and master?"
22916On the way, he asked,"Will you tell me how Edgar is?"
22916People do not generally stop caring about their friends suddenly, do they?"
22916Presently he roused himself, and said,"But, mamma, how can I go in two days?
22916Presently he spoke--"Arthur, I wish----""Well, what?"
22916Shall I put Arthur T. Vivyan?
22916Shall I soon be able to go?"
22916Shall we stop here?"
22916Shall we?"
22916She will get better, wo n''t she, mamma?"
22916So what shall I do?
22916That must be, because he does not know Him, must it not, auntie?
22916Then she said,"Gerald, why do n''t you speak?
22916Then, are there not other ways?
22916Was it_ really_ true?
22916Was she not a dear little thing?"
22916We 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?"
22916Well, then, what do you do when it is neither lessons nor walking?"
22916Were you and he great friends?"
22916What can he mean by saying,''I hope you will be able to come''?
22916What can it be?"
22916What can she think I want with such a lot of looking- glasses?
22916What could she do, but lift up her heart to her refuge and strength?
22916What could she say?
22916What did you think of him?"
22916What lady could be writing to me?
22916What shall I say when the others ask about you?"
22916What shall I say, Arthur?"
22916What will papa say if we are not ready when the bell rings?"
22916What, is she better then?"
22916When am I going?"
22916When would she get it?"
22916Where shall we go?"
22916Who can it be from?
22916Who keeps the school?"
22916Why ca n''t you stop bothering about yourself?
22916Why did he come back from India to take mother away?
22916Why should n''t I go upstairs?
22916Why should we distrust or fear Him?
22916Why, is he not with his uncle and his aunt?"
22916Will she teach me?
22916Will you be able to sleep here, do you think?"
22916Will you come up to the nursery?"
22916Will you really?"
22916Will you?"
22916Wo n''t you come upstairs to your room?"
22916Wo n''t you take me?
22916Would her sweet face_ never_ laugh again?
22916Would n''t you rather stay at home with me?"
22916Would you like to read his letter, auntie?"
22916You are going to that home, my precious boy?"
22916You know I love to take care of you, because you are mine; and do n''t you think He does much more?
22916You remember about the Lord Jesus feeding the people in the wilderness?"
22916You see they had not to try and do anything hard-- had they?
22916You would not like her to be your mother, would you?"
22916and do you not like to give pleasure to the One who loves you so, and who did for you what can never be told?
22916and if he did, I can not help it; so what is the use of being sorry or glad?
22916asked Arthur, remembering the sweet words that had fallen into his own heart;"or your father?"
22916said Arthur breathlessly;"who is all that money for?"
22916said his mother very gently and sadly,"why did you, why did you not remember?"
22916what shall I do?"
14237Are they not all ministering spirits, sent to minister unto them who shall be the heirs of salvation?
14237Can a mother forget her sucking child?
14237Dost thou live, man, dost thou live, or only breathe and labor? 14237 For what knowest, O wife, whether thou shalt save thy husband?
14237For 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?"
14237How can two walk together except they be agreed?
14237How can two walk together except they he agreed?
14237How can two walk together, except they be agreed?
14237I 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?
14237Is 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?
14237Not 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?
14237Shall 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?
14237The 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?"
14237What could a mother''s prayer, In all the wildest ecstacy of hope, Ask for her darling like the bliss of heaven?
14237What do you mean?
14237What fellowship hath light with darkness?
14237What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? 14237 What fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness?
14237What is in a name?
14237What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
14237What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
14237Who loves,says William Jay,"to take his meat from a leprous hand?"
14237Who would not be an infant now, To breathe an infant''s prayer? 14237 Whom have I in heaven but thee?"
14237Why 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?
14237A minister was once asked,"Do you not believe christianity upon its evidences?"
14237Am I able to support a family?
14237And are they not more suitable for the Christian home than any other?
14237And are you, then, in your marriage, agreed to walk with the unbeliever in the broad road of sin and death?
14237And 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?
14237And further, can you spend your time to better purpose than in family prayer?
14237And if this church- founding sacrament brings your child into a living and saving relation to the church, then why deny it that baptism?
14237And in doing this for God, are you not also doing it for the child,--yea, if you are Christian parents,--for yourselves?
14237And is it not a matter of daily observation that the wickedness of the parent is entailed upon the child?
14237And is not their influence as salutary?
14237And shall any other kind save Christian habits, be found in the Christian home?
14237And shall not all, our blessings brighter drop From hands we loved so well?
14237And shall we refuse the tribute of sorrow to the memory of those dear ones who sleep beneath the sod?
14237And the Lord said unto him, who hath made man''s mouth?
14237And the question at once arises, what kind of a whip?
14237And 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?
14237And then what will become of your child if he is ignorant of any pursuit in which to engage for a subsistence?
14237And was the only victim thou couldst find, An infant in its mother''s arms reclined?"
14237And were not Lois and Eunice rewarded for their faithfulness to young Timothy?
14237And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols?
14237And what is home?
14237And what then is the first joyful cry of the fond parents, after the solemn ceremony is ended?
14237And who are they that are dying without hope and without God?
14237And why is this so often done?
14237And will not the curse rest upon you?
14237And will not the day soon come when you must"give an account of your stewardship?"
14237And yet with the plainest teachings of the gospel before them, is it not strange that there are so many virulent enemies to infant baptism?
14237And, tell me, does the true Christian desire any other than a Christian home?
14237Are they not as beautiful as other names?
14237Are we complemental to each other?
14237Are we congenial in spirit, sentiment, principle, cultivation, education, morals and religion?
14237Are you ashamed of your children?
14237Are you not, Christian parents, responsible to God for the exercise of such sovereign power over the character and well- being of your dear children?
14237Art thou free, or enslaved to a routine, the daily machinery of habit?
14237As 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?
14237As infants, therefore, are subjects of grace, why not subjects also of baptism?
14237As they are included in the covenant, why not enter it by the divinely constituted sacrament of initiation?
14237As they are included in the plan of salvation, why not receive it in a churchly way?
14237Ashamed of what?
14237Because they desire to bring them into the fold and bosom of the church, and place them in saving relations to the means of grace?
14237Because they wish to express their vows of dedication in that sacramental form and way which God has appointed?
14237Besides, is it not the right, yea, the duty of parents to bias their children in favor of the religious creed of the parental home?
14237But if out of Christ there is no salvation, then tell me, how will infants be saved?
14237But if they had lived, might they not also have been a source of the deepest sorrow and misery?
14237But was it such?
14237But what is family prayer?
14237But what_ is_ home,--home in the sphere of nature?
14237But why neglect family prayer?
14237Can I discharge the duties of a household?
14237Can he be the head of a Christian home?
14237Can 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?
14237Can saint and sinner be of one mind, one spirit, one life, one hope, one interest?
14237Can the irreligious parent bring up his offspring"in the nurture and admonition of the Lord?"
14237Can the ungodly wife or husband fulfill this mission?
14237Can there be family religion when husband and wife are traveling to eternity in opposite roads?
14237Can these now walk together, live in harmony, when so widely different in spirit, in their aims and pursuits?
14237Can these walk together, in domestic union and harmony?
14237Can they reflect upon their daughters for forming improper attachments and alliances?
14237Can they wonder if their sons become desperadoes, and ridicule the religion of their parents?
14237Can this be right?
14237Can we sympathize and work harmoniously together in mind and heart and will and taste?
14237Could I be happy with such an one?
14237Dare you reverse the divine procedure which God has ordained for the salvation of His people?
14237Did not God punish the first born of Israel, because their fathers had sinned?
14237Did not the Spartan mother and her home give character to the Spartan nation?
14237Did they go to these places under the holy influence of devout and faithful parents?
14237Do not the tears of the Christian home reflect the tears of Jesus?
14237Do we not love it?
14237Do you desire to refine and elevate their souls with beauty and sublimity?
14237Do you love yourself?
14237Do you permit your sick to die rather than to inflict the pain of giving them the medicine to cure?
14237Do you regard your own comfort and welfare?
14237Do you wish them to come under the influence of eloquent oration?
14237Do you wish to inspire them with song?
14237Does not the parent''s faith forbid the intrusion of a doctrine so revolting as this?
14237Does the gospel place them under such a ban of proscription?
14237Dr. Johnson was once asked,"Who is the most miserable man?"
14237From the faithful Christian home?
14237HOME AS A STEWARDSHIP.--What is a Steward?
14237Had they pious fathers and mothers?
14237Have Parents a right to take any part in the Marriage Choice of their Children?
14237Have not I the Lord?
14237Have parents a right to take any part in the marriage choice and alliance of their children?
14237Have they a right to interfere in any respect with the marriage of their children?
14237Have thoughts and associations like these no demoralizing influence?
14237Have you no time?
14237Have 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?
14237Here is a habit of action: is it godly?
14237Here is a habit of conversation: is it holy?
14237Here, for instance, is a habit being formed,--habit of thought: is it pure?
14237How can he bring up his children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord?
14237How can parents admonish their children against novel reading after they have taken their names from novels?
14237How can the unbeliever return, like David, to bless his household?
14237How soon may beauty fade; and what then, if it was the only basis of your marriage choice?
14237If Christ is the Saviour of infants, why not bring them to Him through baptism?
14237If our tent- home stirs up within us imperishable joys, by the power of anticipation and foretaste, what joy will not that better land afford?
14237If so, then are we not responsible for our habits?
14237If so, then is it not plain that baptism goes before the self- conscious faith of the subject?
14237If so, then why object to infant baptism?
14237If the members of your household may he ruined here by a bad example, what will be its consequences in the eternal world?
14237If"out of the mouths of babes and sucklings God has perfected praise,"then why not train them up to praise Him?
14237Is it all of home, religious culture to bias them to a particular creed?
14237Is it for money you have them led to the bridal altar?
14237Is it not, therefore, a matter of momentous interest to the Christian home, that it establish habits of the right kind and quality?
14237Is it possible that a book at once so simple and sublime, can be the work, of men?"
14237Is not every privilege a duty?
14237Is not true piety of more importance than education, affluence or social distinction?
14237Is such, Christian brother, the sympathy of your home?
14237Is that person suited for me?
14237Is this always so?
14237Is this the will of God?
14237It involves the great question, what should Christian parents leave to their children as a true inheritance from the Christian home?
14237No languid wretch who long''d, but long''d in vain, For thy cold hand to cool his fiery pain?
14237O, who would linger, Fainting, fearing, and athirst, When before us lies a region Where undying pleasures burst?"
14237Oh, what is home without a title to, and personal meetness for, that kingdom?
14237Oh, what is life without these?
14237Or tell that the buds of the heart at the dawning, Were destined to wither and perish at noon?
14237Passed to your glorious rest so swiftly on, And left me weeping here?
14237Shall the Christian parent and child disregard this prohibition of God?
14237Should Parents Banish and Disinherit Children for their Marrying against their will?
14237Should Persons Marry Outside of their Own Branch of the Church?
14237Should he imitate thee in thine evil?
14237Show me a child undutiful, I shall know where to look for a foolish father; But how can that son reverence an example he dare not follow?
14237Speak in an angry tone before your child; and what will it avail for you to admonish him against anger?
14237Tell me now, will not God hold these parents responsible for the ruin of their children?
14237Tell me then, can you be faithful to these vows and obligations without family prayer?
14237Tell me, does not this view dilate the parent''s heart, and make him thankful that he has a sainted child in heaven?
14237Tell me, is it worse to bias their minds to a particular creed, than to let them grow up biased to the world, to the Devil and all his works?
14237Tell me, is there not a bond of sympathy between Jesus and His people here,--between loved ones in heaven and their pious kindred on earth?
14237Tell me, who are those that are there?
14237They seem to be impressed with the strange idea that their wives and children put no confidence in their piety,( and may they not have reason for it?)
14237Think ye not, dear ones, in brighter bowers above, Of those you left below?
14237Think you that God will not answer and bless your prayers?
14237Those who were"trained up in the way they should go?"
14237To be Christians, must the unnumbered memories of life be all without a tear?
14237To be one in a full procession?--to dig my kindred clay?
14237To decorate the gallery of art?
14237To walk this chequered world, alternate light and darkness, The day- dreams of deep thought followed by the night- dreams of fancy?
14237WHAT IS THE CHRISTIAN HOME?
14237What are now the different kinds or parts of home- education?
14237What are some of these means?
14237What are some of these?
14237What are the natural elements of home- sympathy?
14237What children are more desolate and more to be pitied than the motherless ones?
14237What communion hath light with darkness?
14237What have our schools now to do with the propensities, appetites, temperaments, habits and character of the pupils?
14237What is Home- Influence?
14237What is home- education?
14237What is it?
14237What is the mere secular, without such a religious education?
14237What is the_ Christian_ home?
14237What is their history?
14237What is"family religion?"
14237What made Daniel steadfast amidst all the efforts to heathenize him during his captivity in Babylon?
14237What more could you do and hope for your children than to offer up supplications for them to God?
14237What mother, prompted by such sympathy, can be recreant to the duties of her household?
14237What now has been the result?
14237What now is the extent, and what are the duties of that right to interfere?
14237What orations so eloquent as those of the prophets, of Christ, and of his apostles?
14237What part hath he that believeth with an infidel?
14237What part hath he that believeth with an infidel?"
14237What says the infidel Rosseau?
14237What shall it profit the family if its members gain the whole world and lose their own souls?
14237What songs are like those of Zion?
14237What then is the mission, of the Christian home?
14237What thronging memories come?
14237What will baptism avail, so far as the parents are concerned, without this dedication of their children to Him in whose name they are baptised?
14237What will the acts of the gospel minister avail if they are not preceded by an offering of himself to the Lord who has called him?
14237What would Christian parents give in exchange for the souls of their little ones?
14237What would the Christian home be, therefore, without such sympathy?
14237What, for instance, is there about such names as Nero, Caesar, Pompey, Punch, that would remind you that you were in a Christian home?
14237What, oh, what, if you had not the assurance of the salvation of all infants?
14237What, therefore, besides wealth, should be the children''s patrimony from the Christian home?
14237When I learned that thou wast dead, Say, wast thou conscious of the tears I shed?
14237Where did they come from?
14237Where, then, is he?
14237Who are they that now throng the regions of the damned?
14237Who but she can smooth the pillow and soothe the anguish of the child of affliction?
14237Who can forget a mother, or lose those impressions which her death made upon our deeply stricken hearts?
14237Who can forget the family bible?
14237Who can read the following beautiful lines of Cowper, and-- if the memory of a sainted mother is awakened by them,--not weep?
14237Who does not feel this influence of home upon all his habits of life?
14237Who does not perceive and acknowledge the evil of such a course?
14237Who has not felt this power of habit?
14237Who has not wept over some habits which haunt him like an evil spirit; and rejoiced over others as a safeguard from sin and a propellor to good?
14237Who that wears the name of a man can be indifferent here?
14237Who touch the strings that rule the soul?
14237Who will doubt its application to the Christian home?
14237Who will not admit that it is an act of real kindness for God to remove little children from this world, and at once take them as His own in heaven?
14237Who would venture to judge a person by his mechanical movements in the parlor?
14237Who, even in the hour of agony, would forget the friend over whom he mourns?
14237Who, then, is that faithful and wise steward whom his Lord shall make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of meat in due season?
14237Whom, think you, will the children follow?
14237Why do many parents have their children baptized?
14237Why make that babe of yours a mere plaything?
14237Why not adopt scriptural names for them?
14237Why not for the very same reason refuse to teach them, to have them pray, to bring them up to church service?
14237Why point to its treasures exhausted too soon?
14237Why?
14237Will any one deny the extent of such a spirit in the church and homes of the present day?
14237Will money make your children happy?
14237Will not such parents be denounced in the day of judgment as unjust and unfaithful stewards?
14237Will not the"blood of their destruction rest upon them?"
14237Will not the"voice of that blood"cry out from their family against them?
14237Will that character make my home happy?
14237Will the children of God not hesitate to marry the children of the devil?
14237Will you ridicule this fundamental principle of Christian marriage?
14237Would not this be cruel?
14237Would the mother, if she could, forget the child that slumbers beneath the flower- crowned sod of the family cemetery?
14237Would you avoid painful solicitude, bitter reflection, heart- burning remorse, dreadful foreboding?
14237Would you remove him from those rivers of delight to this dry and thirsty land?
14237Would you, now, that this inhabitant of heaven should be degraded to earth again?
14237Yea, why not deny to them salvation itself?
14237and where, but with the loving?"
14237do they think of me to- day, The loved ones lingering there; Do they think of the outcast far away, And breathe for me a prayer?
14237exclaimed,"Six and eighty years have I served Him, and He has done me nothing but good; and how could I curse Him, my Lord and Saviour?"
14237from that land of love, Look ye not sometimes on this world of wo?
14237is it well with thee?"
14237of the true glory and greatness of your home?
14237of your children?
14237of your piety?
14237or how knowest thou, O man, whether thou shalt save thy wife?"
14237or, who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind?
14237thou dread looser of the dearest tie, Was there no aged and no sick one nigh?
14237to clear a few acres of forest?
14237to fill the circling year With daily toil for daily bread, with sordid pains and pleasures?
14237what can feeble friendship say, To soothe the anguish of this mournful day?
14237what if it be exerted for the ruin of your loved ones, and they"curse the day you begat them?"
14237what think you of this?
14237who shall bring out from the secrets of the eternal world, those awful maledictions which God has attached to parental unfaithfulness?
14237why keep the pilgrim here?
14237why will you thus abuse the loveliest and noblest part of your child?
