14596	Having thus hunted evil out of every corner of the universe, he asks-- Is evil, then, simply privation of good?
14596	He begins by asking,"What is the_ Wesen_ of Mysticism?"
14596	How could we be aware of that infinite distance, if there were not something within us which can span the infinite?
14596	How could we feel that God and man are incommensurable, if we had not the witness of a higher self immeasurably above our lower selves?
14596	How then should it be that thou shouldest not have thy beseeching?''
14596	How was this"salvation"attained or conferred?

14596	We may invert it, What do you return within to see?
14596	What can it matter whether I say my prayers in church or at home, on my knees or in bed, in words or in thought only?

29449	*** How can a Contact with God be in any way described?
29449	*** Is the temporary loss of grace our fault, or is it a deliberate withdrawal and testing upon His part?
29449	*** We often think, Where am I at fault?
29449	*** What is it that seems more than any other thing whatever to throw us at last into the arms of God?
29449	*** What is pain?
29449	*** Why mortify the body with harsh austerities?

29449	Amongst mothers and children?
29449	And having been taken into them, and they being a thousand times more poignant than any earthly experience, how could we forget them?
29449	And how can the heat or fire of God be described?
29449	And how shall we receive the Mind of Christ?
29449	And what is His will and what is His work?
29449	And where is that secret trysting- place of love?

29449	Do they not all proceed from self and fellow- men, alive or dead?
29449	For I said,"Shall dogs outdo us in love and devotion?"
29449	For how can any condition be rightly named poverty which brings us into the riches of God?
29449	For how otherwise could we be made to know of the reality of spiritual things if we were never_ taken into_ them?
29449	For instance, how could my sweet Jesus, whom I was always so near to, be the mighty Christ and God?
29449	For where otherwise is his superiority?
29449	Hast Thou no pity for my pain?--is this Thy love?
29449	Hast thou created even thine own palate and digestion?
29449	Hast thou invented any of those fond delights that so enslave thee now?
29449	Hast thou thyself devised the means wherewith to satisfy the longing of thy_ creature_ for the sweets of life?
29449	How can He cause such pain, how can I bear such dreadful deprivations, and what is love but a sharp sword?
29449	How can this sense of love be reached?
29449	How convince them, how induce them to take the first steps?
29449	How could I possibly resist Him?
29449	How did the soul ever become so separated from God?
29449	How long wilt Thou leave me here-- set down upon the earth in this martyrdom of languishing for love of Thee?
29449	I am amazed, for where is the glory of any man?
29449	Is baptism of itself sufficient to get us into this Kingdom?
29449	Is the leading of an orderly social life sufficient to find it?
29449	Is this some deliberate trial of us by the Master?
29449	Is this the remnant of the unruly creature rising up and grappling with the soul again?
29449	It is written,"They shall love silver, and not be satisfied with it"--for why?
29449	Lord, I am sick and ill-- how canst Thou leave me so?
29449	My bread is spread with bitterness; where is the honey that I love so well?
29449	Of things known, to what can we compare it?
29449	Or is it Thy will that the soul should adore?
29449	Shall we find it in much outward study?
29449	Then is it Thy will that the creature should love Thee?
29449	Then where do sorrow and waiting fly?
29449	Then why blame God?
29449	This is the grace of God, and what does it cost Him to pour out this mighty power through us?
29449	What are our enemies?
29449	What did I ever do that He should show me such kindness?

29449	What is this love for God, and how define it?

29449	What lover could endure to do such a thing?
29449	When I thought of it all I was filled with amazement, and still am, for how can we explain such changes in manner of living and seeing?
29449	Where among my friends could I find perfect love?
29449	Where is my recompense?
29449	Who can by any means account for the variety of passions excited within him by the mere difference of the spacing, time, or rhythm of music?

29449	Why stay behind?
29449	Why, then, am I a sinner?
29449	Yet look where we will in Nature, do we find a warrant for such a thought?
29449	and did_ I_ ever have a hand in such a thing?
29449	and live for ever without biting the dust in death or disappointment?
29449	and what is pain?
29449	or some natural spiritual sickness?
29449	we cry,"to suffer all these pains, and my consent not asked?
29449	whence come thy wretchednesses?
29449	why this distrust?
29451	For everyone shall be salted with fire,says Scripture; and can anything whatever be well forged or made without it be first melted and cleaned?

29451	A negligent, thieving, lying servant that we have to deal with calls forth forgiveness, and humility also, for are we a perfect servant to our Lord?
29451	Again and again we may cry out,"But how love the invisible?"
29451	And does He dare set Himself no difficult thing that He may overcome it?
29451	And in all this pain of transition, what is the Divine Anaesthetic that He gives us?
29451	And we?
29451	And when the Garden closes down for us, what then?
29451	Are any of these persons truly happy, truly satisfied in all their being?
29451	Are these the ninety- and- nine just persons needing no repentance?
29451	Are we then to suppose that God asks the impossible of His own creatures, that He mocks us?
29451	But evil-- whence and why, since God is Love, Omnipotence, and Holiness?
29451	But have they?
29451	But holy love-- who can commence to describe it?
29451	But how commence this formidable, this seemingly impossible task of finding God in a world in which He is totally invisible?
29451	But how uncover a further consciousness?
29451	But reason demands,"How is it possible that the soul should leave the body and the body not die?
29451	Can any man devise a new sin?
29451	Can any man free himself in such a manner from his own nature?

29451	Having once re- found God, the soul frequently cries to Him in an anguish of pained wonder,"How could I ever have left Thee?
29451	Having submitted to all that Christ esteems necessary for our regeneration, what does He set us to?
29451	How and why can this be?
29451	How are we to understand this but by assuming that if we try our strength against Evil, Evil is likely to overcome us?
29451	How could I ever have been faithless to Thine Unutterable Perfections?"
29451	How do we come by this joy of the personal loving of God, this Romance of the Soul brought to sensible fruition whilst still in the flesh?
29451	How is God- consciousness to be achieved-- shall we do it by study, by reading?
29451	How many of us stop in the rush of our daily amusements, interests, and work to sympathise with Christ?
29451	How shall I commence to love a Being whom I have never seen?
29451	How shall ordinary mortals whilst still in the flesh re- enter Eden even for an hour?
29451	How then shall the reason stand naked before God without madness or frenzy?
29451	If the natural man were asked,"What is life?
29451	In what way have we perhaps been approaching it?
29451	Incessant work is the lot of the awakened and returning soul, and justly so, for because of what folly and ingratitude did she ever leave God?
29451	Is Evil then an enemy?
29451	Is it a gift because of some merit of goodness on our part beyond the goodness of other persons who are without it, though striving?
29451	Is it a gift?
29451	Is it a sagacity or cleverness, a height of learning, a result of close study?
29451	Is it because of some work for God that we do in this world, charitable or social?
29451	Is it this distraction which prevents perception-- for in all communion with God the mind is closed down, the heart and soul only being in operation?
29451	Is it, then, nothing but an arbitrary favouritism on His part?
29451	Is the condition of blessed nearness to God permanent?
29451	Is this loss or gain?
29451	It is the Responsive God that we long for, and how shall we reach Him?
29451	Ten years, twenty, thirty-- what are such in comparison with the blisses that shall afterwards be ours for all eternity?
29451	Then what is our own position?
29451	There is one test more sure than any other, which is to ask oneself,"Would Jesus have done just this?"
29451	Was it because of some imperfection left in her of design by God in order that He might enjoy His power to bring her back to Him?
29451	Was it from this I started on my wanderings from God?
29451	Was this selection of His favouritism?
29451	We all consider ourselves Christians as a matter of course; but why this certainty, what reason can we give?
29451	We see it as disease, misery, imprisonment, and death; and who finds it difficult to turn away from such?
29451	What are these blisses of God?
29451	What are these joys of God?
29451	What does it mean to"set the heart"upon something?
29451	What is Nature but the demonstration in visible objects of an invisible Will?
29451	What is it in our religion that we need for a full happiness?
29451	What is our reward whilst still in this world for our patient obediences and renunciations?
29451	What is the true aim of spiritual endeavour-- an attempt at personal and individual salvation?
29451	What is then necessary?
29451	What madness in us is it that can count as an added cross or burden any means by which we reach such perfection of bliss for ever?
29451	What then is needed, since death will not help us?
29451	What were our Lord''s words?
29451	What will these perhaps too much dreaded tests be that He will put us through?
29451	Who can describe the marvels, the variations, the mystery of Grace?
29451	Why is this?"
29451	Why, then, is not every man given this knowledge?
29451	Will chiffon help us?
29451	Will the smiles of a long- since faithless lover be our strength?
29451	is it the Ceremonial causing the mind to be too much alert to guide the body now to rise, now to kneel, now to move in some direction?
29451	what is it to live?"
33742	Also the Devil tempted the poor Soul, saying to it in the earthly thoughts:"Why dost thou pray?
33742	And couldst thou desire anything less?
33742	And how can this be taken?
33742	And how doth a Man this_ so_, as that he doth it to Christ himself?
33742	And how shall I come at the hidden Centre, where God dwelleth, and not Man?
33742	And how shall it be remedied?
33742	And if one of them might, can you ever make me believe that ever both should be here together?
33742	And what method must I take, whereby to arrive at this sovereignty?
33742	And what, O my Master, would become of me, if I should ever attain with my mind to that where no creature is?
33742	And whither, I pray, should it go?
33742	But how cometh this entering of the Will into Heaven to pass?
33742	But how finds he_ Nothing_?
33742	But how shall I find the nearest way to it?
33742	But in that thou sayest, Why do not the Souls which are without God feel Hell in this World?
33742	But what would then become of the Body, seeing that it must of necessity live in_ Creature_?
33742	But will not this destroy Nature?
33742	But, alas, poor man that I am, how is this possible as to me?
33742	Consider but what thoughts thou hast in his presence; are they not altogether evil?
33742	DISCIPLE And how can this be without dying, or the whole destruction of my Will?
33742	DISCIPLE But how can these two subsist together, that a person should both_ love_ and_ hate_ himself?
33742	DISCIPLE But how shall I be able to_ break_ this creaturely will which is in me, and is at enmity with the Divine Will?
33742	DISCIPLE But how shall I comprehend it?
33742	DISCIPLE But if the Love should proffer itself to a Soul, could not that Soul find it, nor lay hold of it, without going for it into Nothing?
33742	DISCIPLE But wherewith shall I hear and see God, forasmuch as he is above Nature and Creature?
33742	DISCIPLE Dear Master, pray tell me how I may understand this?
33742	DISCIPLE How can I hear him speak, when I stand still from thinking and willing?
33742	DISCIPLE How can it ever be that I should love that which hates me?
33742	DISCIPLE How is it that he can get his good friends into his possession?
33742	DISCIPLE How is it that so few Souls do find it, when yet all would be glad enough to have it?
33742	DISCIPLE If it dwell only in Nothing, what is now the office of it in Nothing?
33742	DISCIPLE Is that where no Creature dwelleth near at hand, or is it afar off?
33742	DISCIPLE O where is this naked Ground of the Soul void of all Self?
33742	DISCIPLE O, loving Master, how shall I understand this?
33742	DISCIPLE Pray tell me, dear Master, where dwelleth it_ in Man_?
33742	DISCIPLE Pray what is the virtue, the power, the height, and the greatness of Love?
33742	DISCIPLE Pray, how is that?
33742	DISCIPLE What is it that I must thus leave?
33742	DISCIPLE What now hinders or keeps me back, so that I can not come to_ that_, wherewith God is to be seen and heard?
33742	DISCIPLE Where is that in a Man, when Man dwelleth not in himself?
33742	DISCIPLE Where is the Ground in any Soul, to which there will nothing stick?
33742	DISCIPLE Why not, if the Love should be willing and ready to offer itself, and to stay with them?
33742	Do I rightly understand?
33742	Does not every man, who has lived his full life, know the truth and reality of all this?
33742	Dost thou think that God knoweth thee or regardeth thee?
33742	Doth not the melody of them all proceed from his Power, and do they not sport before him?
33742	Doth the Spirit of God reprove them for not bringing their voices into one harmony?
33742	Doth thy Will go forth from the creatures?
33742	For if any liveth in God, and willeth with God, what needeth he dispute about God, who, or what God is?
33742	For where must all the intellectual inhabitants of it abide?
33742	Hath not Christ paid the ransom and satisfied for all men?
33742	How can we judge what we have not understood?
33742	How is that possible?
33742	How not, said the inquisitive Junius, must not the Soul leave the body at death and go either to Heaven or Hell?
33742	Is it not surely worth thy while, and all that thou canst ever do?
33742	MASTER Son, why art thou so dispirited?
33742	Must I not cry out,_ I am undone_?
33742	Now what did he under this most terrible assault both from without and within?
33742	O how may I arrive at the Unity of Will, and how come into the Unity of Vision?
33742	O what shall I do, that I may reach this which I so much long for?
33742	Or what needeth any understanding Spirit to be kept here or there, in order to its happiness or misery?
33742	Or where is that which abideth and dwelleth not in something?
33742	Or, must not the outward Life hence perish, with the earthly body which I carry?
33742	SCHOLAR How shall all people and nations be brought to judgment?
33742	SCHOLAR How will the sentence be pronounced?
33742	SCHOLAR Shall all then have eternal joy and glorification alike?
33742	SCHOLAR Shall we not rise again with our visible bodies, and live in them for ever?

33742	THE DISTRESSED SOUL SAID What then shall I do to bud forth again, and recover the first Life, wherein I was at rest before I became an Image?
33742	THE SOUL SAID How may I come to know their essence and property?
33742	Tell me plainly, loving Sir, where it is, and how it is to be found of me, and entered into?
33742	The_ Scholar_ thanked his Master for this liberty and said: How far then are Heaven and Hell asunder?
33742	Thou hast no faith or belief in God at all; how then should he hear thee?
33742	Understandest thou this?
33742	What Place can bound a Thought?
33742	What am I to do in this case?
33742	What can I say more?
33742	What dost thou suppose will become of thee, if thou turn to be so stupid and melancholy?
33742	What dost thou?
33742	What is then required of me in order to admit this Breaker of the partition, and to promote the attainment of the ends of such admission?
33742	What is there required of thee but to stand still and see the salvation of thy God?
33742	What must I do to get it?
33742	What then dwelleth in such a Creature as this?
33742	What, can Heaven and Hell be here present, where we are now sitting?
33742	What, therefore, must I do with this body, that I may be able to keep up so desirable a conversation, and not to be under subjection to it any longer?
33742	Where is the hardship in this?
33742	Wherefore, I say, are Love and Trouble thus joined?
33742	Who judgeth or condemneth the birds in the woods that praise the Lord of all Beings with various voices, every one in its own essence?
33742	Who knows what stands behind this man?
33742	Why dost thou torment thyself in thy own Power and Will, seeing thy torment increaseth thereby more and more?
33742	Why then should they contend about him in_ Whom they live and have their being_, and of whose substance they themselves are?
33742	Will not the Light of Nature in me be extinguished by this greater Light?
33742	Wilt thou be mad?
33742	Wilt thou destroy thyself in thy anguish and sorrow?
33742	Would not Love alone be better?
13143	But ye are the salt of the earth; but if the salt have lost its savor wherewith shall it be salted? 13143 But,"you may ask,"what of the Messianic Prophecy mentioned by Matthew( 1:23)?
13143	Then of John the Baptist-- was he a reincarnation of Elijah, the prophet, who was to come again? 13143 This is my Beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased"--what meant these words?
13143	What seek ye of me?
13143	''Who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind?''
13143	(_ John 9:1- 3._) Surely there can be no mistake about the meaning of this question,"Who did sin, this man or his parents?"
13143	***** In view of this explanation, does not the commonly accepted version seem childish and crude?
13143	--for how could a man sin before his birth, unless he had lived in a previous incarnation?
13143	Again:"Might I not write to you things more full of mystery?
13143	And He knew full well all that awaited Him there, for had He not seen the First Picture?
13143	And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; is it a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?"
13143	And his disciples asked him, saying,''Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he should be born blind?''
13143	And how shall we escape the declaration,''Is there respect of persons with God?''
13143	And if so, what must be His course of life and action?
13143	And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others?
13143	And now with this Mystic version, can not_ you_ enjoy the legend with the children?
13143	And now, you ask, what were taught in these Christian Mysteries-- what is the Inner Teaching-- what the Secret Doctrine?
13143	And our query is-- Sinned_ before_ he was born to deserve the penalty of being born blind?
13143	And several asked Him in turn, in a tone of reproach,"Is it I?"
13143	And still we hear the querulous complaint that the Inner Teaching is reserved for the Few-- why not scatter it broadcast among the people?
13143	And they wondered as they worked and asked each other"What manner of man is this, whom even the winds and the waters obey?"
13143	And where are the souls of these dead bodies now residing and abiding pending the coming of the Last Day?
13143	And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?
13143	And why are ye anxious concerning raiment?
13143	And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother''s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
13143	And, now, what are the Occult Teachings-- the Secret Doctrine-- regarding the Real Virgin Birth of Jesus?
13143	Are not ye of much more value than they?
13143	Are the souls of the dead with their bodies?
13143	As they approached Him He called out,"Whom seek ye?"
13143	Be not therefore anxious, saying, What shall we eat?
13143	But still what meant that expression-- why that leap and throbbing of her heart?
13143	But why should I repeat and enumerate all the horrors of human misery?
13143	Can there be any doubt of this after reading the above words from his pen?
13143	Can there be any doubt regarding the same in a mind willing to think for itself?
13143	Can you not see which is The Truth and which is the perversion?
13143	Could the Divine Genius once self- recognized be content to be obscured amid material pursuits?
13143	Did not the Magi say,"Where is He?
13143	Did this stranger dare to defy God''s own decree?
13143	Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
13143	Do not even the Gentiles the same?
13143	Do not even the publicans the same?
13143	Do the angels have physical bodies?
13143	Do you remember St. Paul''s remark,''Be not deceived, God is not mocked; whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap''?
13143	Does not one''s own heart tell him the contrary?
13143	Does not the Mystic teaching give a clearer light on this statement of the Creed?
13143	Does not the agony of the cross sink into insignificance beside such spiritual agony?
13143	Does the church wish to hold that the Master was also an ignorant, credulous peasant, sharing popular superstitions?
13143	Even one of the crucified criminals reviled Him, asking Him why He did not save Himself and them?
13143	For if ye love them that love you, what reward have ye?
13143	For is it not written that"the Kingdom of Heaven is within you"?
13143	Had not even the Healer declared that she only slept?
13143	Had she not anointed Him with precious oil, as the host would have anointed an honored guest?
13143	Had she not bathed and dried His feet, as the Pharisee would have done had his guest been deemed worthy of honor?
13143	Had she not impressed upon even His feet the kiss that etiquette required the host to impress upon the cheek of the esteemed visitor to his house?
13143	Had the Master lost His senses?
13143	Had the idea of re- incarnation been repugnant to the teachings, would not He have denounced it to His disciples?
13143	He felt that He had come to a most important phase of His life''s work, and the question of"What Am I?"
13143	He says:"It may be said that in the present day these doctrines are simply not taught in the churches; how is that?
13143	Here is the testimony in all of the standard reference books, and yet how many of you have known it?
13143	How dared He so mock the very presence of the dead, whom the physicians had left, and over whom the priests had already begun the last sacred rites?
13143	How few are they who find their way to the Realization of their own Divinity?
13143	If all the world of objective life and manifestation, even to its highest forms, were withdrawn from manifestation, then there would be left-- what?
13143	If not, why should souls require them on higher planes?
13143	If not, why the necessity of a physical body at all, in the future life?
13143	In the name of Truth, is the teaching, that_ man is a spiritual being_, inconsistent with the teachings of Christ and the records of the Scripture?
13143	Is it not a worthy one-- is it not at least a higher conception of the human mind, than the physical Virgin Birth legend?
13143	Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?
13143	Is not this the extreme refinement of torture?
13143	Is the beautiful babe, held close in its mother''s fond embrace, a symbol and type of impurity?
13143	Is the watchful care and love of the Father of the babe, an impure result of an impure cause?
13143	Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy by thy name, and by thy name cast out demons, and by thy name do many mighty works?
13143	Of this event the New Testament takes note in these words:"But John forbade him, saying, I have need to be baptized of thee, and comest thou to me?"
13143	Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me cast out the mote out of thine eye, and lo, the beam is in thine own eye?
13143	Or this,''Is there unrighteousness with God?''
13143	Or what man is there of you who if his son ask him for a loaf will give him a stone, or if he shall ask for a fish will give him a serpent?
13143	Or what shall we drink?
13143	Or wherewithal shall we be clothed?
13143	Saw Him again?
13143	Speaking of teaching founded upon historical narrative, he says,''What better method could be devised to assist the masses?''
13143	The crowd asked Him why He who saved others could not save Himself?
13143	Then Caiaphas asked Him the all- important question,"Art thou the Christ?"
13143	Then asked the Master,"Where have you laid him away?"
13143	Then cried the people,"What saith this man to the corpse?"
13143	Then he asked, with his newly acquired air of authority,"Why sought ye me?"
13143	Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?
13143	Then what can it be?
13143	Then what is this Spirit of Life?
13143	Then why persist in treating it as a thing imported from India, Egypt or Persia to disturb the peaceful slumber of the Christian Church?
13143	They felt His body, and saw Him eat-- but what of that?
13143	Was He destined to throw aside the robe and staff of the ascetic, and to don the royal purple and the sceptre?
13143	Was He indeed the long- expected Deliverer of Israel?
13143	Was He the Messiah?
13143	Was He to forsake the role of the spiritual guide and teacher, and to become the King and Ruler over the people of Israel?
13143	We wonder if our readers can realize, even faintly, just what this sacrifice meant?
13143	Were the ancient laws of Moses to be thus defied by this presumptuous Nazarene, whose religious ideas were sadly lacking in orthodoxy?
13143	What did the Nazarene mean?
13143	What had you to fear?"
13143	What is meant by the words,"We have seen his star in the East"?
13143	What is the use of a soul, if the physical bodies of the dead are to be resurrected in order that their owners may enjoy immortality?
13143	What manner of people were these to whom He had decided to deliver the Message of Life?
13143	What new fraudulent marvels would He not work next in order to delude the credulous people and to bring them once more around his rebellious standard?
13143	What was to be done?
13143	When and how did he spend those seventeen years?
13143	When this truth is known, how puerile and petty seems the myth of the"traveling star"of the commonly accepted exoteric version?
13143	Which brings the greater approval from The Christ within your heart?
13143	Which is the true spiritual teaching?
13143	Which of the two conceptions seems most in accord with the intuitive promptings of the Something Within?
13143	Who touched my garment?"
13143	Why does He perpetually use the technical terms connected with the well known mystery- teaching of antiquity?
13143	Why should this be?"
13143	Why the frequent and repeated mention of Jesus as"the Son of God?"
13143	Why was it not reasonable that He was to lead the Chosen People to their own?
13143	Will the owners of aged, worn out bodies be compelled to re- assume them at the Last Day?
13143	Will you accept it?
13143	Would it have been any wonder had even such a man as Jesus succumbed?
13143	Would not the Master, having found his strength and power, have insisted upon developing the same?
13143	you ask?
44245	''Have you many lions here?'' 44245 ''How long has he been here?''
44245	''How long have they been here?'' 44245 ''What am I to do?''
44245	''What is the altar for in the passage?'' 44245 ''Whither?''
44245	''Why are they called lions?'' 44245 ''Why are they here?''
44245	And may I further ask your-- I mean you-- where you are at home?
44245	And the worthy pastor assists in supporting these poor orphans?
44245	And you incline strongly to the latter?
44245	But suppose she is looking in another direction?
44245	But suppose she were to say No?
44245	But-- suppose he may have the necessary qualification?
44245	Cats?
44245	Cats?
44245	Certainly, do you want him?
44245	Excuse me, how am I to do the raptures?
44245	Have you seen Dada? 44245 How are we to obtain one at once conversant with the condition of the diocese, and not a partizan?"
44245	How can he without a von before his name?
44245	How shall I dare to face the man who dealt so generously by me?
44245	I do-- how could you discover that? 44245 Is it to show the Duke of Kingston he can not live without her?
44245	Is the Reverend Pastor at home?
44245	Is the fair, or, at least, the fat Miss Chudleigh with you still? 44245 Is this the house of the priest, Peter Nielsen?"
44245	Modelled it!--modelled the moon!--in what?
44245	Must I squeeze it? 44245 My dear colleague, what is the matter with you?
44245	Of what else could I speak?
44245	Shall I say nothing about the wax moon?
44245	Suppose he be a nobleman, or something even higher, in disguise?
44245	What Minna?
44245	What does that matter? 44245 What has brought you to Hanover, dear Professor?"
44245	What is needed for the construction of the machine?
44245	What is the matter? 44245 What shall I say, when he reproaches me?
44245	What will the daughter do with it?
44245	What, in disguise? 44245 Where are the ladies?"
44245	Who are you?
44245	Who are your accomplices?
44245	''What do you want?''
44245	''What,''said he,''oysters?''"
44245	About how much pressure to the square- foot should I apply?"
44245	Are we to continue this farce?
44245	Besides, Königsmark had been merely created a countess, and who would crave to be a countess when she might be Queen?
44245	But had the last word in telegraphy been spoken, when it was invented?
44245	But how is it that in Gamain''s petition none of this occurs?
44245	But then-- did not the end sometimes justify the means?
44245	But what was M. Lacroix''s object in revivifying the base charge?
44245	But, who were these inventors, Benoît and Biat- Chrétien?
44245	But-- how could the murderer suppose he would leave the house open and unprotected at eight o''clock?
44245	Do you mean, in sober earnest, to invite Minna Witte to be your wife?"
44245	Fessler wrote another, entitled,"Who is the Emperor?"
44245	Had his mistress intimated her intention of supping abroad?
44245	Has the daughter no husband, a man of intelligence, to stay her hand?"
44245	Have you any?"
44245	His acquaintance, Von Eybel, had written a book or tract, which had made a great stir, entitled,"Who is the Pope?"
44245	How came he to escape?"
44245	How can that be?
44245	How can''st thou ask me to accept as thy surety, One whom thou believest my people to have rejected and crucified?
44245	If anyone was, why did he not answer the appeal?
44245	If it did not answer in conveying messages across so narrow a strip of water, was it likely to be utilized for Transatlantic telegraphy?
44245	Is her husband an astronomer?"
44245	Is that a fit letter for such as you to write to a lady?"
44245	Is this story true?
44245	Monsters who thus treat their chosen servants, how will they deal with the rest of men?"
44245	Once Volkmar said slyly to her,"What would your august father say if he knew you were here?"
44245	So I understand that there are three parties?"
44245	That is poetical, is it not?
44245	The Duke opened his eyes and gasped,"What is the matter with me?
44245	The Prince said to her,''Do you sincerely believe that you can be helped and are helped?''
44245	The necklace was indeed discovered seriously injured; but what had become of her bracelets, brooches, rings, her other necklets, her earrings?
44245	Then he showed me the works I had noticed, and said,''What do you say to my skill?
44245	To what end did the friars live?
44245	Touch sadly on your forlorn condition, your unloved heart-- are you paying attention, or thinking of the moon?"
44245	Travelling incognito?
44245	Was it designed to cause the authorities to relax their efforts to probe the mystery, and perhaps to abandon them altogether?
44245	Was it necessary that this should be done in his presence, and he set to count money, so as not to observe what was going on?
44245	Was it possible that Mr. Bathurst had committed suicide?
44245	Was it possible that this had reference to the disposal of the jewelry?
44245	Was it such a decided advance on it?
44245	Was it true that he was not a gentleman by birth?
44245	Was she called upon to reject them?
44245	Was she in the rooms at Bath?
44245	Was there a savour of simony in offering a present to the man in whose hands the choice of a chief pastor lay?
44245	What am I to do?
44245	What answer can I make to my Surety for having lost the money entrusted to me?"
44245	What are his evidences, his crowd of witnesses, his documents that he has collected?
44245	What can I do with them?
44245	What could induce him to lay hands on an envoy?
44245	What happened during that time?
44245	What if again tempest should fall on thee, and wreck and ruin be thy lot, where should I look for my money?
44245	What is his name?"
44245	What is their name?"
44245	What occurred during that hour?
44245	What profit was there in it?
44245	What proof is there of his active preoccupations and fresh researches?
44245	What was Moses on Pisgah, viewing the Promised Land, what was Simeon Stylites braving storm and cold, to this spectacle?
44245	What was that Latin he said as he went away?"
44245	What was the meaning of these two appearances, the smoke and the flame?
44245	What was to be done?
44245	What was to be done?
44245	Whither are you going?"
44245	Who are you to poke yourself in between married folk?"
44245	Who could suppose that a solitary prisoner, without means, without the opportunity of making confederates, could menace the safety of the Empire?
44245	Who had heard him?
44245	Who inserted this, and for what purpose?
44245	Who was in the house at the time?
44245	Who was this Peter Nielsen?
44245	Who will have the moon then?"
44245	Why should not experience and a charming face on her side, and near seventy years on his, produce a title?"
44245	Why should not this force be used as a means for the conveyance of messages?
44245	Why this change?
44245	Why were not the papers hidden after Gamain was gone?
44245	Will the reader believe that it was written in good faith?
44245	Wolff, knowing his incapacity to do such a thing, asked him boldly,''Who is the author of this poem?''
44245	Would they be capable of modelling such a globe?
44245	You are-- what do you say, seen, touched, breathed on the moon?
44245	You take me?"
44245	You understand me?"
44245	You understand me?"
44245	and Olaf Petersen, has he sent?"
44245	and a favourite, when, by playing her cards well, she might become a legitimate wife?
44245	but by birth-- what?"
44245	is that her name?"
44245	not knowing, moreover, how much time he would have for effecting his purpose?
44245	or Queen Marie Antoinette attempt to poison Durey also, if they desired to make away with all those who knew the secret of the iron locker?
44245	spoke the housekeeper, nudging him,"What is the meaning of all this?
44245	what is that?"
44245	what will become of that model?
29450	And what,he asks,"is green?"
29450	*** Can it be said that Union with God in this world entails upon us increased sufferings here?
29450	*** Dig deeply, and what do we find is at bottom our great, our persistent need?
29450	*** In all these experiences of the soul which has refound God, what is it that truly rejoices her?
29450	*** We say that we must find Christ; but where, and how, shall we find this Mighty Lord, Who comes out from the Father to meet the Prodigal?
29450	*** What is it that often makes it so much harder for the soul to refind God when she is enclosed in the male body?
29450	*** When the soul arrives at Union with God, does she remain always in Union?
29450	Almost every day the same three words came; but I turned away resentfully from them, saying to myself,"What have the sick to do with me?
29450	And if you should say to me,"What does it feel like to have found God?"
29450	And she suffers horribly: and why not?
29450	And who but the sorely tempted sinner can be bonded to Him by the mutual knowledge of those bitter, burning, desert days?
29450	Apart from the joy of it, what is the true value of ecstasy to him to whom it is granted?
29450	Are there here any truly"innocent"persons?
29450	Are there souls who have never left Him?
29450	Are we perhaps distressed at this multiplicity of worlds and souls?
29450	Are we to be discouraged because of this?
29450	Are we to think ourselves less favoured, less loved?
29450	But all this is not that Adam may recover his perfection, for when, and for how long, was Adam"Perfect"?
29450	But could not-- would not-- God deliver the innocent; must all alike descend into the pit?
29450	But supposing that we do not_ give_ to God, but, earnestly seeking Him, we merely ask some favour, and sit and wait for Him to give?
29450	Can Angels share the memories of His human days with Christ?
29450	Can Perfect Love have caprice?
29450	Can ecstasy be prepared for?
29450	Can faults and sins be eradicated without pain?
29450	Can we climb back through all this, most of it in darkness, without tears, without pain, without every kind of anguish?
29450	Can we stand still and receive it like the dew, without work?
29450	Could the great mountain up which my soul had sweated, and which each soul must climb-- could it be climbed by kneeling in a pew in church?
29450	Did He in His wisdom know that if He showed Himself too openly I should go mad with fear or joy?
29450	Did not Solomon choose wisdom?
29450	Does God, then, when experienced feel to be a Fire?
29450	Does He prefer even in heaven to possess Himself to Himself in His First Person?
29450	Does the soul rejoice in ecstasies because they are ecstasies?
29450	Has this part of the soul, then, never sinned?
29450	Have we, then, two Wills?
29450	He leads her straight into the woes: will she follow, will she hold back?
29450	How can energy be a means of this immeasurable Divine joy?
29450	How can even the daily requirements of flesh be fulfilled without pain?
29450	How can it be?
29450	How can it be?
29450	How can so formless a thing, still waiting for its Spiritual Body, be beautiful?
29450	How can such a tremendous thing as this be carried out without, as it were, burning the man up with the greatness of it?
29450	How can we commence to remedy this disastrous state?
29450	How is this Power to be recognised, how is it communicated?
29450	How without profound humiliation and patience can we descend from Contemplation to duties in the household?
29450	How, then, can it be possible that God can take up His abode with us and we still live?
29450	How, then, shall God, Who can be neither seen, nor heard, nor touched, how shall He be made known from one to another?
29450	II Since Contemplation is so necessary for Union with God and for the soul''s_ enjoyment_ of God-- is it a capacity common to all persons?
29450	If I had an eternal soul, where did it live-- in my head with my brain as a higher part of my mind?
29450	If it is awakened only by Act of God, in what way can we be held responsible about it?
29450	If we say that we apprehend God by that which is not Mind, what reason have we for saying that it is not Reason which receives Him?
29450	In sorrow, in trouble, in pain, could knowledge or the mind do so much more for me than the despised body?
29450	In the light of these measureless joys what is any earthly joy?
29450	Is He never hurt by this perpetual grudgingness of love?
29450	Is all this tantamount to saying that when separated from God Spirit- life is less desirable than earth- life?
29450	Is an earthly father vexed when his child, standing there before him, forgets the words upon its lips, forgets to ask, because it loves him so?
29450	Is it God?
29450	Is it all joy to find God?
29450	Is it all joy to love God?
29450	Is it asking of God?
29450	Is it happiness, beauty, and light?
29450	Is it the learning and knowledge that the pursuit of Truth may bring her to?
29450	Is it this part of the soul which we ordinarily speak of as the Will?
29450	Is life, then, a poem?
29450	Is she beautiful?
29450	Is she mistaken in this, and God always to be possessed, but she not dressed to receive Him?
29450	Is this favoritism?
29450	It may well be asked of a soul which claims to have found God, How does she know that she has encountered Him?
29450	It must be borne; had He not borne His own up to the bitter end?
29450	It was some form of personal Contact that was needed; but if my mind failed to reach this, with what else should I reach it?
29450	Looking into herself, what does the soul perceive?
29450	Men had souls, I was sure of that; and they asserted the possession of them very positively-- but women?
29450	Must I accept the sick in place of the ecstasy of God?
29450	My soul sickened with fear, and I said, Love is a calamity; who can release me from the anguish of it?
29450	Not even the greatest of all the Angels can alone bear to endure Him?
29450	O my Jesus, my Jesus, must I really follow Thee out of Paradise back into pain?
29450	Royal knowledge which knows no toil, no sweat of work, no common drudgery, art thou of the soul herself, or art thou altogether from outside the soul?
29450	So Jesus Christ calls us again, and where does He lead us?
29450	This is terrible; what shall we do-- shall we ask God to help us?
29450	This spontaneous Evil filled me with more astonishment than shame; whence did this Evil come?
29450	V We hope for much from"education"; but what education is it that will be of enduring value to us?
29450	We need not be, for they are a necessity both of God and of ourselves; for God to Be Himself He must give Himself, and who can receive Him?
29450	What alone can enable the Soul to maintain such a position?
29450	What are amongst the most noticeable changes in the mind?
29450	What divides us from God?
29450	What does the Saviour Himself tell us of the means of entry into the Kingdom?
29450	What is essential to obtaining this Act of God?
29450	What is it that instinctively we look for and desire?
29450	What is it that would seem to determine this immeasurable privilege of Access to Him?
29450	What is it, then?
29450	What is our quest in this world?
29450	What is the difference?
29450	What is the meaning of all this?
29450	What is the very greatest experience of earthly happiness but so much waste paper?
29450	What is this?
29450	What makes such perseverance likely or even possible on the soul''s part?
29450	What was the truth-- what was the truth about every single thing I saw?
29450	What, after all, is knowledge by itself?
29450	Where is the injustice of this pain?
29450	Where was Wisdom in all this?
29450	Who can know His graciousness, His infinity of tenderness and courtesy, as can the sinner?
29450	Who can share with God hereafter such close experiences as will the sinner?
29450	Who can taste the sweetness of God as can the repentant sinner?
29450	Who is it, what is it, that so punishes the soul?
29450	Who knows the heights and depths and lengths and breadths of God''s forgiving love as does the sinner?
29450	Why all this suffering?
29450	Why continue to struggle to please God when His interest in me would so soon be over?
29450	Why do not all men apprehend God?
29450	Why should Perfect Love inflict this pain on us?
29450	Why should this most beautiful of all human emotions carry with it so heavy a penalty, for which no remedy appeared to exist?
29450	Why this distinction?
29450	Why this suffering?
29450	Why would He not show Himself?
29450	Why?
29450	Will she go?
29450	Will she stay?
29450	Would he give himself so, would he sweat so, in order to find God, or to please God?
29450	X If the Divine Lover gives such joys to the soul, how does the soul give joy to the Divine Lover?
29450	XII Does God come and go?
29450	XIX Who is so blessed as the Redeemed Sinner?
29450	XVII How is it that Perfect Love can consent to the wandering of the soul with its consequent sorrow and sin?
29450	Yet could this ever be forgotten?
29450	Yet in the hour of death and afterwards, will he be helped by this victory of flying balls?
29450	and how comes she to be away from Him?
29450	is it a melody?
56101	''Seems''?
56101	A farther- on consciousness? 56101 A new consciousness?"
56101	A new man is born?
56101	Ai n''t this a lovely place?
56101	And happy?
56101	And of reason?
56101	And that is still inward?
56101	And the gloom and storm of our day?
56101	And then, in Richmond, you heard about Sweet Rocket?
56101	And then?
56101	And when the last human being has crossed?
56101	And wherever I go I shall find the seeking and the greatness?
56101	Are you gwine take company?
56101	Do I speak to Mr. Linden? 56101 Do n''t you want to buy a basket?
56101	Do they write?
56101	Do you call that something God?
56101	Do you like farming better than forestry?
56101	Do you love him, Marget?
56101	Do you mean that you remember actually thinking, feeling, doing what men say your ancestors did?
56101	Do you mind listening?
56101	Do you not see that you can, that you will, recover it all? 56101 Do you see that piece just thar?"
56101	Do you think we can be reassured about the dead-- all the dead-- and ourselves when we die?
56101	Effort does not cease?
56101	From Sweet Rocket?
56101	Have you caught any?
56101	He is one, then, that may be loved?
56101	He never married? 56101 How about Randall?"
56101	How can he see?
56101	How could one help but love it? 56101 How did you come?
56101	How old a man is he?
56101	I hope you like Sweet Rocket?
56101	I shall see you again?
56101	If one grows, all things and all places grow with that one?
56101	Is it infectious? 56101 Is it you, Drew?
56101	Is that mysticism?
56101	Is that the house?
56101	Just So?
56101	Love him? 56101 May I look?"
56101	Miss Ellice?
56101	Mr. Morrowcombe, when we join God, do n''t you think we shall say''I''?
56101	No check rein?
56101	O God,_ how_ can you be still and ageless?
56101	Of course you have help about the house?
56101	Of course you will?
56101	Oh, was n''t it lovely?
56101	Or hell?
56101	She has had hers?
56101	Tam? 56101 The new consciousness that we feel is a pale film to what will be?"
56101	This morning? 56101 Truly, truly, Marget?"
56101	We shall move then in four- space?
56101	Well?
56101	What are you reading?--_Pilgrim''s Progress?_"Yes''m,said Zinia, in her rich voice.
56101	What do you think is going to happen now, Linden?
56101	What do you think sugar is? 56101 What have you been doing, Marget?"
56101	What is that house?
56101	What is your healing herb?
56101	What is your name?
56101	What kind of a general world are we coming into, Linden? 56101 What of those who neither dream, nor divine, nor wish, who come on so slow?"
56101	When God enters life there will still be said I?
56101	Where do you meet the dead? 56101 Where does Just So come in?"
56101	Where does Mancy live?
56101	Where is heaven?
56101	Who built the Ark? 56101 Who is Julia?"
56101	Why do you put it that way?
56101	Why not ride with him?
56101	Why?
56101	Will any never cross?
56101	Will you walk with me? 56101 You and Richard Linden both have that assurance?"
56101	You call it that-- hurting oneself?
56101	You cut it in prison?
56101	You do n''t know where she went?
56101	You feel it, do n''t you?
56101	You know people all over the earth?
56101	You mean that as the Great Consciousness expands it becomes aware of itself there, too? 56101 You mean that you perceive the dead, Richard?"
56101	You remember my tellin''you about that feeling I had? 56101 You were with Baker and Owen?"
56101	You would say it is a great age?
56101	''Do n''t you hear that one?''
56101	''Whar was she going to live?''
56101	A sugar maple, is n''t it?
56101	After all, what are you but your parents, your grandparents, your great- grandparents, and so on?
56101	An''what you got to give fer a pair of shoes?
56101	And alike, what are they but you?
56101	And that one?"
56101	And then--""This was actuality, while your hands swept and dusted the parlor there?"
56101	Anna thought,"Is it only the sun shining on her?"
56101	At last Curtin said, abruptly,"Had you ever thought of humanity moving on into superhumanity?"
56101	But what are words?
56101	Can you hear the water?"
56101	Can you tell me how far I am from Sweet Rocket farm?"
56101	Can you walk?''
56101	Could he even have helped-- put a shoulder to the wheel, seeing that I was grieved and uncertain?"
56101	Could you not sleep?"
56101	Curtin asked Robert Dane,"Forth from here you go on with the work you are doing?"
56101	Did you ride from Rock Mountain this morning?"
56101	Do not you?"
56101	Do you ever feel the Indians by these streams?
56101	Do you mean that when I think of them suddenly and strongly, feel them as it were, that_ they_ are doing part of it, that there_ is_ intercourse?
56101	Do you remember it, too?
56101	Do you remember music?"
56101	Do you remember the Story of Rhodope?
56101	Do you see yon clearing on mountain?
56101	For instance, Athens and some dim, northern forest-- and a lot of islands with palms?
56101	Had he touched all those in one life or had it been in many lives?
56101	Had you not better do so?"
56101	Have you the time?"
56101	He got about thirty men and boys together at John Williams, and a lot of them had had whisky-- I do n''t know that this air interestin''?
56101	He said,''I thought it would catch you, and I tried to thrust you out of its way--''"I said:''Are you badly hurt?
56101	Her face of a subtle, moving beauty, more of look than of feature, did not turn upon them with a"Do you remember?"
56101	How long have we done this?"
56101	How much time had passed, or how little, or how widely could you live in no time at all?
56101	How should it not be so?"
56101	How would it be if all were truly interested in all?
56101	I hope you slept well?
56101	I lock with it.... What was I saying?
56101	If there were general recognition?
56101	In this space?"
56101	Is it because in some sort Drew remembers, or is it because I have been-- and surely I_ have_ been-- in all the forests of the world?
56101	Is it the Principle of Sensibility-- the Buddhic plane?"
56101	Is n''t it strange and sweet the way things come about?
56101	Is n''t it strange-- living?
56101	Linden asked,"Like whom, then?"
56101	Linden said,"Had n''t you rather not read, to- night?"
56101	Linden?"
56101	Linden?"
56101	Major Hereward spoke abruptly:"Where are the dead?
56101	Mimy was singing:"Swing low, sweet chariot, Coming for to carry me home--""You gwine back inter the troubled world?"
56101	Miss Land, do you think that is true?"
56101	Mr. Smith said:"Have you ever seen a stiller day?
56101	Nothing wrong?"
56101	Once Robert said, abruptly,"And all the effort of the world is to stand and grow in grace?"
56101	Or I can tell outward things-- how we live?"
56101	Over the mountain?"
56101	Said Anna Darcy, presently:"Do you know Morris''s_ Earthly Paradise_?
56101	Said Curtin,"When we come and come, what do you do at last?"
56101	Said he was an example, sure enough, and a shower of the way, and who could help loving and wondering?
56101	She thought:"What is happening?
56101	That that realm becomes open?"
56101	Then a Ford came along and said,''Hey, Brother Robinson, are you going as far as Llewellyn?''
56101	There''s a principle of induction, do n''t you think, sir?
56101	They say it''s getting late, and they say, could we take them in for the night?"
56101	They were going to drive Miss Ellice off the mountain?"
56101	Was the whole texture coming alive, and in effect did it include the whole past, the whole dead and gone?
56101	What do you call it?"
56101	What do you mean by your looking- glass?"
56101	What does it matter now if your name is or is not on the register of a church?
56101	What kind of a political, social, economic world?
56101	What were true books?
56101	When God enters how shall he not say I?
56101	When it was sold there was hardly anything to divide among us--""The Lindens did n''t buy it back, then?"
56101	Where are my brother Dick, my son Walter, my mother and father?"
56101	Where were they all?
56101	Who is not in some way aware of it?
56101	Will you come, too?"
56101	You know how folk used to prove a witch?
56101	You''re from the city, are n''t you?"
56101	Your quilts are for warmth and beauty, Julia, are n''t they?
