20379How did it turn out?

37501( 1) It is said God knows already; why tell Him?

26033If God be for us, who can be against us?
26033Now what is the result? 26033 Say not my soul,''Can God relieve my care?''
26033Yes; but who are you?
26033''Did I not die for thee?
26033***** A short time since I asked a dear friend whose writings have reached and inspired multitudes throughout the Christian world:"How did you do it?"
26033At the close of the meeting I said,"Can I help you?"
26033But how could I live Christ?
26033But, Lord, to- morrow?
26033Can we doubt that their prayers had something to do with the marvelous revival movement which followed?
26033Could I have borne it had I known then that almost forty years would pass before that yearning would be satisfied?
26033Could I, in a word, ever hope to be able to live Christ as well as preach him?
26033Do I not live for thee?
26033Does this case of unanswered prayer shake my faith in God''s willingness and power to answer prayer?
26033Fan''s, the message of James 5:14, 15, kept coming persistently to me, as if spoken by a voice:"Is any sick among you?
26033Here again Paul seemed to feel no fear, but said,"Mother, what does this put you in mind of?
26033How could they be, when no record of prayer has been kept all these fifty years?
26033How then could we support the men we had, and go on with the work which was opening so gloriously before us after years of hard pioneer preparation?
26033I handed the letter to my daughter, saying:"Shall we not believe that God will undertake for us?
26033I looked at her in amazement, and almost gasped:"Are you the one who spoke to Mr. Goforth Saturday night?"
26033I thought,"Can this be the Christian courage I have looked for?"
26033Is it much wonder I can say I know God answers prayer?
26033Is it not true, in our human relationships with our children, that we see best to grant at one time what we withhold at another?
26033Is not Jesus Christ the same yesterday, to- day, and forever?
26033Not for a moment did I think there was anything in the purse till my brother said:"You foolish girl, why do n''t you open it?"
26033Oh, is not the goodness and forbearance of our God wonderful; wonderful that he ever again would deign to give help when asked for it?
26033One day Mr. Goforth came to me with his Bible open at the promise,"My God shall supply all your need,"and asked:"Do we believe this?
26033Or did he allow the children to suffer in the years that followed, when months each year were spent with them right out among the people?
26033Shall there be rest from toil, Be truce from sorrow?
26033So what could I do?
26033Some have asked,"But have you never sinned?"
26033The question that weighed heavily was,"Should I cancel the meetings for which I had given my word?"
26033The question was, where could we flee?
26033The thought came-- if you can not trust God for this, when Hudson Taylor could trust for so much more, are you worthy to be a missionary?
26033They would just wake up enough to get dressed and ask sleepily,"Are we going again, Mama?"
26033Was God faithful to the vision he had given me?
26033Was it possible that I could ever really stop worrying?
26033Was it possible, with such a nature as mine, ever to become patient and gentle?
26033Was it possible?
26033We believed that it was his pleasure and purpose to save men and women through his human channels, and why not from the beginning?
26033What kept them back that day?
26033What more helpful and inspiring than a ringing testimony of_ what God has done_?
26033What of to- morrow, Lord?
26033Why did they not kill us then?
26033Why indeed?
26033Why should the Lord lead this woman to me-- the only one, so far as we knew, who could do the machine work-- and then permit her to leave?
26033Why should we wonder, therefore, at his healing touch in this age?
26033Why, indeed?
26033Why, then, was she not spared?
26033_ I know God answers prayer!_"I have been asked the question:"Has God_ always_ given you just what you have asked for?"
26033_ he said_ that he would hear, And proved his promise, wherefore didst thou fear?
26033is there_ anything_ too hard for ME?"
26522And the eunuch said, See, here is water: what doth hinder me to be baptized? 26522 He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"
26522How do you live?
26522Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into His death? 26522 Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?"
26522Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?
26522The Lord Jesus,she said,"has given His last drop of blood for me, and should I not give Him this hundred pounds?"
26522What do you gain by it?
26522Who pays you for this?
26522Why do you hold meetings?
26522Will not the best way of replying to this question be to let him speak for himself? 26522 You?
26522( 2)_ How do such come into office?__ Ans._ By the appointment of the Holy Ghost, Acts xx.
26522( 4)_ Is it incumbent upon the saints to acknowledge such and to submit to them in the Lord?__ Ans._ Yes.
2652213, 14, encourage us to ask with all boldness, for ourselves and others, both temporal and spiritual blessings?
26522And if this were God''s work, was He not bound to care for His own work?
26522And was not all this deliberately planned and carried on for His own glory?
26522And what is love?
26522And what is_ cross_-bearing?
26522And why was it not burnt?
26522And would He suffer His own glory to be dimmed?
26522At last we reach the_ turning- point_ in the psalm: he asks as he reviews former experiences, WHERE IS THE DIFFERENCE?
26522But here is the Spirit''s own inspired utterance, and, if the praying be moulded on the model of His teaching, how can we go astray?
26522Can the rod lift itself, or the saw move itself, or the hammer deal its own blow, or the sword make its own thrust?
26522Could God ever dishonour such trust?
26522Could not something be done to meet the temporal and spiritual wants of this class of very poor children?
26522Dear reader, do you know the living God?
26522Did not that ornament in the Lord''s sight appear as of great price?
26522For example, what have we found to be the initial step and stage in George Muller''s spiritual history?
26522For in the time of temptation, I have been repeatedly led to say: Should I thus sin?
26522He expected them, for if there were no crises and critical emergencies how could there be critical deliverances?
26522He had often sought God and been heard and helped, and why not now?
26522How can I get over the plain word of the Lord, which is to the contrary, even if the first four points could be satisfactorily settled?
26522How can such use of God''s word fail to help and strengthen spiritual life?
26522How did Christ come to the cross?
26522IS THE CHANGE IN GOD OR IN ME?
26522Is He, in Jesus, your Father?
26522Is it not rather His will that my means should be spent in another way?
26522Is it possible that there are any modern disciples who"reject the commandment of God that they may keep their own tradition"?
26522Is it really a good cause in which I am called upon to become surety?
26522Meanwhile how could three hundred children, some of them very young and tender, be kept warm?
26522That many enemies would laugh, were the Lord to withhold supplies, and say, did we not foretell that this enthusiasm would come to nothing?
26522The evening that he arrived he said, What opportunity is there here for services for the Lord?
26522These were_ His_ orphans, for had He not declared Himself the Father of the fatherless?
26522Those suggestive words of Christ to Nathanael have often prompted like larger expectations:"Believest thou?
26522Was it God''s wings that folded over him, after all his vain flight away from the true nest where the divine Eagle flutters over His young?
26522Was it not this very passage in this inspired book that suggested, perhaps, the name of this journal:_"The Lord''s dealings with George Muller"_?
26522Was not the work, with its vast correspondence and responsibility, already sufficiently great?
26522What is the conclusion, the practical lesson?
26522What medium or channel of approach could so insure in the praying soul both an acceptable frame and language taught of the Holy Spirit?
26522What obliges the person, who wishes me to become surety for him, to need a surety?
26522When, one day, over four pounds came in, the thought occurred to Mr. Muller,"Why not lay aside three pounds against the coming need?"
26522Who can read the story of that score of years and yet talk of piety as the product of evolution?
26522Why should it be so often said, and sometimes with a measure of ground, or even much ground:"Believers are bad servants, bad tradesmen, bad masters"?
26522Would God''s goodness and mercy fail?
26522Would he be going''beyond his measure,''spiritually, or naturally?
26522Yet for man''s sake what did he do?
12042And why?
12042Do come as far from the house as you can, wo n''t you?
12042Mama,he began,"do you remember the time you told me a secret?"
12042O Bessie,cried the mother,"what has happened to detain you?
12042O Mama,said Bessie,"are n''t you going with the rest?"
12042O my child,he sobbed,"will you forgive me and come back as soon as the Lord will let you?
12042Shall we live with Aunt Emma again?
12042What can be keeping Bessie tonight?
12042What time was that?
12042Again, I hear a parent whose loved companion has recently died say,"What can I do now to train my children aright?"
12042And do you remember that you said some time you would tell me more?"
12042As she passed him, he whispered,"Bessie, what is the matter with your face?"
12042Beaching out very timidly, Bessie touched her and said,"O Miss Harrington, wo n''t you please forgive me?"
12042But how about the excursion party?
12042But, in the meantime, how were her parents feeling?
12042Can it not have the same confidence when it is older?
12042Can you not point to a time when there was a drifting from your home circle?
12042Dear child, where have you been?"
12042Did you at that time lift up your home banner and shield?
12042Did you tell him of the rapids in the distance?
12042Do n''t you think that is dreadful?"
12042Do you think Jesus would go to a circus?
12042Do you think it would be proper to try to change it?
12042Do you think you could get any good should you go?
12042Do you wonder why something snug around your waist could be harmful?
12042Does n''t she ever get lonesome?
12042Have you talked thus to your boy?
12042Have you told the boy all that?
12042How could her teacher ever love and respect her again?
12042I was determined to do this-- but how was I to do it?
12042If it is God''s will to take him, can I submit?"
12042If not, why not?
12042If so, do you not think that a little less labor with your hands and a little time spent with them would be more profitable?
12042If you need anything, write to me at once and let me know about it, wo n''t you?"
12042In her distress she cried to the Lord, saying,"Dear Lord, what can this mean?
12042Is it not worth some self- denial, some sacrifices, on pour part, to have your home spoken of in this manner?
12042Is that so?
12042It may take a little of your time, but what of that?
12042Mr. Worthington must be told, and-- would he be willing?
12042Must I go through another test with one of my children?
12042My dear friend, can you not remember when this state of things began?
12042On receiving the package, Bessie looked at the corset and said,"Mama, shall I wear it?"
12042She began to ask herself:"Do I believe that God can heal that child?
12042She did not move; and when the teacher said sternly,"Are you going to obey?"
12042She would ask her pardon as soon as possible, but would she forgive her?
12042Should one of your children ask,"Mama, who was Bessie Worthington?"
12042Something must be done; but what?
12042The large blue eyes slowly unclose; a look of disappointment comes into them as she says,"Where has Jesus gone?"
12042The next thought was,"What will Mama think and say?
12042The thought came,''What will people think of me?
12042Then she told about the surprise party and about all that had happened, and concluded by asking,"Mama, is it right to dance?"
12042To whom could I go for help?
12042Upon entering her home she immediately asked her husband,"How is Louise?"
12042What a beautiful testimony?
12042What child does not enjoy the old- fashioned game of hide- and- seek, tag, or some such innocent amusement with Papa and Mama?
12042What did it mean?
12042What if a bear should some that morning?
12042What is conscience?
12042What is it, dear?"
12042What should she do?
12042What work is more noble, more elevating than the teaching of the undeveloped mind?
12042When Bessie got home the next morning, her mother asked,"Well, dear, did you have a good time?"
12042When she answered,"Yes,"he said quickly,"Do n''t you think I''m old enough now?"
12042While he was preparing to leave for school, his mother said,"You will no doubt be made sport of today; are you able to bear it?"
12042Why was this?
12042Why, Bessie, where is your faith?
12042Why, child, what is the matter with you?"
12042Would God forgive her again?
12042Would it not be best to leave his mind free from these ideas until he is older?"
12042Would she do right to let her child slip from under her parental care?
12042You know I never wanted to leave home before; and if you wo n''t let me return, what shall I do?"
12042You''ve heard your conscience speaking to you, have n''t you, Bessie?"
12042what about her teacher?
12042what could she do?
12042when he began to crave the association of others more than that of his own brothers and sisters?
12042when home life began to seem too narrow for your child?
12042why had she not examined the child closely then?
12042why in homes of promised bliss May not this gem be found?"
12042why is this?
12042would God give her back her child?
13196I do n''t know, who?
13196Light obeyed, increased light: Light resisted, bringeth night Who shall give us power to choose If the love of light we lose? 13196 Well,"some one will object,"now you''re cutting us all out, are you not?
13196[ 12] Why? 13196 [ 20] Tell me, is this the way the Spirit of God leads?
13196< u> A Very Old Question. This leads to a very old question: Does prayer influence God?
13196Again came the same quietly spoken words to her ear,"will you abide the consequences?"
13196Am I thinking about what He is thinking about for me?
13196And I said,"Why not?"
13196And even Daniel''s eyes open big--"the_ first_ day-- three weeks ago?"
13196And if some one listening may ask: Why put the condition of prayer so strongly as that?
13196And the Father would quickly bend over and graciously say,"What''ll you have?
13196And who_ can_ teach like Him?
13196Are we not all conscious of a sinful something inside here that has to be fought, and held under all the while?"
13196As she was praying and distressed a voice, an exquisitely quiet inner voice said,"will you abide the consequences?"
13196But His chosen way?
13196But have you noticed how, over and over again He_ couples_ these two-- prayer_ and_ forgiveness?
13196But one Sunday noon the sister came in from service and asked,"Who do you think preached to- day?"
13196By name?
13196Can a man_ make_ himself believe?"
13196Can one_ know_ anything certainly about that man''s condition?
13196Can we all have faith like that?
13196Can you imagine a mountain moving off into the sea-- the Jungfrau, or Blanc, or Rainier?
13196Could I telegraph on that wire?
13196Did some feeling of impatience break out among the disciples that they could not be allowed a little leisure?
13196Do you think_ you_ would have slept much?
13196Does Prayer Influence God?
13196Does Prayer Influence God?
13196Does Prayer Influence God?
13196Does a mother think into her child''s needs, the food, and clothing and the extras too, the luxuries?
13196Does a wise mother think of her child''s needs into the details, the necessities and the loving extras?
13196Does n''t it say something of that sort in the Book?"
13196Does the fluid-- it a fluid?
13196For_ Jesus''_ sake?
13196Had he been wrong all those years?
13196Have you ever thought that Jesus had a keen sense of the ludicrous?
13196He says,"Master, how many times_ must_ I forgive a man?
13196His own way?
13196How does it come to pass that a man turns a few handles, and miles away great wheels begin to revolve, and enormous power is manifested?
13196How shall we best fight?
13196I turned to the minister and said,''What does this mean?''
13196Is it any wonder that"she was in bitterness of soul"and"wept sore"?
13196Is not that a loving God so to listen and yield to my plea?
13196It does not mean to ask,"Is this right?
13196Let me ask you very softly now: Can He trust you?
13196Let me ask you, honestly now; do you think you would have slept much that night?
13196Long- suffering over these praying ones?
13196Long- suffering?
13196May We Pray with Assurance for the Conversion of Our Loved Ones?
13196Mr. Moody said,"I turned and said to the minister,''What_ does_ this mean?''
13196Now what was the explanation of that marvellous Sunday and days following?
13196Patience?
13196Shall I say, Father_ save_ Me from this hour?
13196Shall not we, who have been tracing these steps in His prayer life, go back over them again and again until we breathe in His very spirit of prayer?
13196Shall we bow and ask forgiveness for our sin, and petty stubbornness that has been thwarting the Master''s love- plan?
13196Shall we follow for a day one who has gotten the true perspective?
13196Shall we not put out the thing that is wrong?
13196Shall we spell that word discipline with a final g instead of e-- discipling, so the love of it may be plainer to our near- sightedness?
13196Sundays, after church service, the sick woman would ask,"Any special interest in church to- day?"
13196Talks about the certainty of prayer being answered are very apt to bring this question:"What about Paul''s thorn?"
13196Tell me, is not that a very much more loving God than the other conception suggests?
13196The great question for me then in praying for some personal thing is this: Do_ I_ know what_ He_ knows I need?
13196Then on a side remaining, the tender personal side, He is-- loving?
13196Then the minister said to Mr. Moody,"What''ll I do with these people?
13196Then this forgiven man went out and found a fellow servant who owed him-- how much do you think?
13196To please Him?
13196Was it due to his overtired nerves?
13196Was some of the transfiguring glory still lingering in that great face?
13196Wednesday nights, after prayer- meetings,"Any special interest in the service to- night?
13196Well, if_ you_ do not pray for them who will?
13196What is the keyword of the book, occurring oftener than any other?
13196What is yours?
13196What''s the difficulty?
13196What_ can_ be so vigilant and keen as love?
13196What_ was_ the consequence to her?
13196Where''s the Master?
13196Who is the real foe?
13196Why not?
13196Why was it?
13196Will some one kindly explain?
13196Will some one kindly explain?
13196Will you notice how men give?
13196With eyes big, and voices dejected, the question wrung itself out of their sinking hearts,"Why could not_ we_ cast it out?"
13196Would that not seem quite sufficient?
13196Yet I might sit in my room and tick away by the hour wholly absorbed, and use most beautiful persuasive language-- what is the good?
13196You think not?
13196[ 44] Does not this very strong language suggest that possibly the disciples had been conferred with by the revolutionary leaders?
13196_ Is_ that true?
13196_ Or_, long- suffering in dealing righteously with some stubborn adversary-- which?
13196is this wrong?"
13196or put in the thing the Master wants in?
13196or, what?--pass_ through_ the wire?
13196or,_ around_ the wire?
13196there''s just the rub; it is evidently an old story, this thing of not receiving-- why?
221481, The first thing which the believer, who is in such difficulties, has to ask himself is, Am I in a calling in which I can abide with God?
2214830, 31, it is written:"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
22148And do you really lean upon me, the living God, in your service here?
22148And how should our Father do otherwise?
22148And since He has not, is it not a plain indication that, for the present, I should remain a journeyman,( or shopman, or clerk, as the case may be)?"
22148And what was it that gave me peace?
22148And who at present belonged to our number?
22148And why?
22148Are the things of God, the honour of His name, the welfare of His Church, the conversion of sinners, and the profit of your own soul, your chief aim?
22148But if we do not believe that God will help us, could we be at peace?
22148But is this indeed the spirit in which the children of God generally are engaged in their calling?
22148But perhaps it may be stated: Why do you not take the bread on credit?
22148But what did the Lord do?
22148But what is the right way of looking at the matter?
22148But what was the result?
22148By what passages, then, for instance, may I make out that I am a child of God, or born again?
22148Dear Reader, does your soul long to be rich towards God, to lay up treasures in heaven?
22148Dear reader, do you know the living God?
22148Do I depend upon Him alone for the salvation of my soul?
22148Do I expect forgiveness for my sins on account of living a better life in future?
22148Do I take Him to be the one whom God declares Him to be, i. e. His beloved Son in whom He is well pleased?
22148Do I trust in my own exertions for salvation?
22148Do you make it your primary business, your first great concern to seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness?
22148Have I to wait till I feel that they are forgiven, before I may take comfort concerning this matter?
22148How are the means to come?
22148How are we justified, or constituted just ones, before God?
22148How can I get over the plain word of the Lord, which is to the contrary, even if the first four points could be satisfactorily settled?
22148How may I know that I am one of the elect?
22148How may I know that I shall be saved?
22148How may I know that my sins are forgiven?
22148How may the case be altered for the better?
22148How shall I do when sickness befalls my family, or when other trials productive of expense come upon me, if I do not make provision for such seasons?
22148How will the offerings come in?
22148If the latter be the case, then, though you may have all the necessaries of life, yet could you be surprised if you had them not?
22148Is He, in Jesus, your Father?
22148Is it not rather His will that my means should be spent in another way?
22148Is it really a good cause in which I am called upon to become surety?
22148It might also be said by a brother whose earnings are small, should I also give according to my earnings?
22148Need such parents despair?
22148Now what is the food for the inner man?
22148Now, suppose our expenses are week after week, 30l., 40l., 50l., or 60l.?
22148Or does your business, or your family, or your own temporal concerns, in some shape or other primarily occupy your attention?
22148Or, do I depend only upon this, that Jesus died upon the cross to save sinners-- and that Jesus fulfilled the law of God to make sinners righteous?
22148Or, must I wait till I have in some powerful way a portion of the word of God applied to my mind, to assure me of it?
22148The last words of which I spoke were:"Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?"
22148The point is simply this: Do I confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus?
22148The question here again is simply this, Have I received the Lord Jesus, i.e., Do I believe in His name?
22148The question here again is: Do I believe in the Lord Jesus?
22148The question may be asked even now,"Are these the only labourers?"
22148The question therefore simply is this: Do I believe in the Lord Jesus?
22148The questions therefore to be put to ourselves are simply these: Do I walk in utter carelessness?
22148The tenth part, or the fifth part, or the third part, or one- half, or more?
22148Under other circumstances the question would have naturally arisen in my mind, And what will you do for support, if the boxes are removed?
22148What does it matter, whether you pay immediately for it, or at the end of the month, or the quarter, or the half- year?
22148What is now to be done?
22148What is to be done in such a case?
22148What obliges the person who wishes me to become surety for him, to need a surety?
22148What shall we do now?
22148What then is to be done?
22148Where should the heart of the disciple of the Lord Jesus be, but in heaven?
22148Why am I engaged in this trade or profession?
22148Why does this post- office- order not come a few days sooner or later?
22148Why should it be so often said, and sometimes with a measure of ground, or even much ground:"Believers are bad servants, bad tradesmen, bad masters?"
22148Will any come in?
22148Will it be the least particle of uneasiness to their minds, or will their children be the worse for it?
22148Yet do all the children of God give even the tenth part of what the Lord gives them?
22148You ask, How may I, a true believer, have my faith strengthened?
22148or, What shall we drink?
22148or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
22148what would become of us and our wives and children?
20245Are your bankers still Messrs. Stuckey and Co. of Bristol, and are their hankers still Messrs. Robarts and Co. of London? 20245 What is a Christian?"
2024520 � 23?
202453, Am I not undertaking too much for my bodily strength and mental powers, by thinking about another Orphan- House?
202454, Am I not going beyond the measure of my faith in thinking about enlarging the work so as to double or treble it?
202455, Is not this a delusion of Satan, an attempt to cast me down altogether from my sphere of usefulness, by making me go beyond my measure?
202456, Is it not also, perhaps, a snare to puff me up, by attempting to build a very large Orphan- House?
20245And how did we get them?
20245And what provision is there in the way of Orphan establishments, it may be asked?
20245And why not?
20245Are not ten pounds, thus received out of the hands of our Heavenly Father, as the result of faith in God, most precious?
20245Are you prepared for eternity?
20245But how does it work, when we thus anticipate God, by going our own way?
20245But what was to be done under these circumstances?
20245But why not, you may say, dear reader?
20245Could it be otherwise?
20245Do I serve God for nought?
20245Do you not also see again the hand of God so manifestly stretched out on our behalf this day Dec. 9th?
20245Do you not discern His hand, dear reader, in this instance?
20245Do you not find it a trying life, and are you not tired of it?"
20245Do you not perceive that my fellow- labourers and myself do not wait upon the Lord in vain?
20245Do you not see how precious it is to have God to go to, and to find Him ever willing to help those who trust in Him, wherever they be?
20245Do you not see that it is not in vain, to make known our requests to the Lord, and to come to Him for everything?
20245Do you really believe in Jesus?
20245Do you verily depend upon Him alone for the salvation of your soul?
20245Does He not, however, tell me by all this: Go forward, my servant, and I will help thee?
20245Does it, or does it not?
20245Does not the Lord tell me by this, that He will provide another home for Orphans?
20245Does the Lord love you less than He loves us?
20245Does your heart praise the Lord for His goodness to us?
20245Esteemed reader, what do you think of this?
20245Had I other friends, from whom to expect the large sum which will be needed to accomplish this?
20245Have I then been boasting in God in vain?
20245He then said:"Who has allowed you to distribute these books?"
20245How can Thy servant know Thy will in this matter?
20245How long we may have the opportunity to work for the Lord, who can tell?
20245How then could I be tired of carrying on the work of God on such principles as I do?
20245How, then, could it be otherwise, but that sooner or later there should come showers of blessing?
20245Is it not a pleasant thing, in the end, even for this life, really to trust in God?
20245Is it not a privilege to be allowed to obtain future good out of present expending?
20245Is it not an honour to help such brethren?
20245Is it not like"tempting God,"to think of building another Orphan- House for seven hundred more orphans?
20245Is it not manifest how precious it is to carry on God''s work in this way, even with regard to the obtaining of means?
20245Is it not manifest that it is most precious, in every way, to depend upon God?
20245Is it not, dear reader, a precious thing to trust in the Lord?
20245Is not human reason confounded by such instances?
20245Is not the hand of God most manifest in such cases?
20245Is not this a plain proof that God is both able and willing to help simply in answer to prayer?
20245May I not well trust in the Lord, for what is yet needed for the Building Fund?
20245May you not do, what we do, under your trials?
20245My dear Christian reader, will you not try this way?
20245Now, dear reader, did the Lord help this time also?
20245Now, looking at it naturally, where is this great sum to come from?
20245Or are we better than you?
20245Or, when unbelief said, How will you be able to support a thousand Orphans?
20245Perhaps the reader may ask: What has been the result of this labour in Germany?
20245Some readers may say, And what use was made of the money which was received in this way?
20245Suppose now, you were even to succeed in getting this large Orphan House built, how will you be able to provide for 700 other Orphans?
20245Unbelief, which said, what will you do with so little as 134l.?
20245Well, the Father in heaven said, as it were, by this His dispensation, Art thou willing to give up this child to me?
20245What could I say against this?
20245What is it that I do?
20245When first converted, I should have said, What harm can there be to take some of the money, which has been put by for the Building Fund?
20245Whither shall I send it?"
20245Will not you also seek to trust in Him, and depend on Him alone in all your everyday''s concerns, and in all spiritual matters too?
20245Will she need such ornaments before her Lord?
20245Will she regret having given them for His work?
20245Will she regret the gift now?
20245Will you not do this, my dear brethren in Christ?
20245Will you not have still greater trials of faith?
20245Will you not, dear reader, taste and see that the Lord is good, and that it is a blessed thing to put our trust in Him?
20245Would it not be going beyond my measure naturally with reference to mental and bodily strength?
20245Would not this be going beyond my measure spiritually?
20245[ Do not all these objections only hold good, I said to myself, if I were needlessly to set about building?
20245does your heart admire the hand of God in these instances?
20245for the Orphans, from a distance of 3,000 miles?
20245from this Christian brother at Madras?

7026''What''s the matter with your father?'' 7026 And why do n''t you steal any more?"
7026And you do n''t suppose there is a happy land?
7026Boy, what are you doing there?
7026But, Mother,very pettishly said the boy,"you are sick all the time-- how do you know?"
7026Ca n''t Jesus make Annie see her mama?
7026DOES THIS RAILROAD LEAD TO HEAVEN?
7026Did he give you all this, my child?
7026Did she go over this railroad, and are you going to see her now?
7026Did you ever hear of Jesus?
7026Did you ever steal?
7026Did you know Winnie Lewis, my lad?
7026Do you know who he was?
7026Do you trust Him, too?
7026Going to sing there?
7026Harvey, are faith and hope nothing?
7026How came you to think you''d find shoes in a jug?
7026How do you know?
7026I think not,he answered,"Why did you think so?"
7026Is God there?
7026Is Jesus there?
7026Is she gone?
7026Is that you, Jesus?
7026John,said his friend, with an affectionate look,"shall we pray?"
7026Know her, is it sir? 7026 Look here, child; where did you learn that song?"
7026Oh, Father, did you get a new jug and were they in it?
7026Oh, Mother, may I go skating? 7026 Oh, let my parents live Till I a woman grow; For if they die, what can A little orphan do?"
7026Thank you sir, but please, sir, would you like to hear me sing a little hymn?
7026Was Winnie a relative of yours?
7026Well my little one, are you better?
7026Well, who''s there?
7026Well-- and what then?
7026Well?
7026What ails mother''s Pet? 7026 What are you doing here?"
7026What are you glad for, my dear?
7026What are you hiding from?
7026What did you say?
7026What did your father beat you like that for?
7026What difference will that make?
7026What do you mean, Anna?
7026What do you sing, child?
7026What shall I say to God about it, Mama?
7026What would we ever do without our Comforter, son?
7026Where do you live my dear?
7026Where is He?
7026Where''s your father?
7026Where''s your mother?
7026Who pays your fare?
7026Why did you?
7026Why do you wish I had been there, Ella?
7026Will you please tell me where Jesus Christ is? 7026 Will you tell me about it, my friend?"
7026Will you wake me up then so that I may see my ma and your little girl and Jesus?
7026Yes, but if I should die, will you promise to love Jesus just as I do, and meet me in heaven?
7026You are not naughty now, my dear, are you?
7026You do; and who is your teacher?
7026A brawny German in broken accent asks:"O children, what is the matter?"
7026A few boys gathered around the poor lad, and asked in a kind way( for a street Arab):"Say, Johnny, why do n''t you go to the lodges?"
7026A still, small voice she heard within her soul--"What is it child?
7026A voice seemed to say:''Why do n''t you go out as I tell you?
7026Addressing herself once more to the conductor, she asked him,"Do you love Jesus?
7026After awhile he said,''My, I am so cold,''and I said:''Where''s your overcoat?''
7026Ah, where was Bess, the"little mother,"who in that brief moment resigned herself to death?
7026And Bess?
7026And after all, would what they called religion make them any worse children?
7026At last a man rushed into the chapel, ran up the aisle and sank upon his knees by the side of his child, exclaiming:"What do you want of me?"
7026But is it not a thousand times more wicked for you not to love Him who has loved you so much more than that little one loved her father?
7026But what was this?
7026Can you not imagine that tears often filled the eyes of that father when he spoke of his sainted little one?
7026Could he not see where the heart of his darling Ella was?
7026Could it be that what these poor fanatics, as he had always called them, said about the future world was correct?
7026Did you ever hear such grand music?
7026Did you tell me there be bears down at the sand- bank when there are n''t any?"
7026Do you commend it earnestly to the care of its God and Savior?
7026Does God say that?"
7026Does not this recall the love of the Lord Jesus Christ to you who read?
7026Fathers, may not the hands of the"thousands slain"make mute appeal to you?
7026He did not like the idea of getting a whipping for it, as was very likely, but how could he resist the temptation of making sure about those shoes?
7026He had given his consent for them to attend the Sunday School, and should he now be offended because they had yielded to its influence?
7026How can you help loving such a precious Savior?
7026I asked her with surprise:"Why madam, have you not got anything to eat?"
7026I said"Sing?"
7026I said:"What are your neighbors, that you should suffer among them?"
7026I sat down on the front of the bed and said:"Jennie, is there any there that you know?"
7026I turned to the mother, and said:"Madam, you have potatoes to eat, I suppose?"
7026If they meet in heaven, do you think that daughter will be sorry that she sacrificed her life for her father''s sake?
7026In a low, hesitating voice, she asked the woman:"Do you know Jesus Christ?"
7026Is he sick?"
7026It was found the next morning; and who shall describe their feelings as they clasped the little form to their bosoms?
7026Let us encourage benevolence and gentleness and if he wishes to go without the fur- trimmed coat, why not do as he asks?"
7026Mama?"
7026Mister, do you sing to your little girl about the railroad that goes to heaven?
7026Mr. Lowe made no reply-- how could he?
7026Now, do not shut the windows tonight, will you?"
7026Oh, Wife, is there mercy for a wretch like me?"
7026Oh, sister, he has gone in again; what shall we do?"
7026Ought he not rather to have expected this?
7026Said the conductor:"Where are you going?"
7026Shall I tell her that I saw her pa on Jesus''railroad?
7026Shall I?"
7026She asked the conductor:"Mister, may I lie here until we get to heaven?"
7026She had not talked long until nearly every child in the room was in tears, and how shall we describe that touching scene?
7026She looked up at the pastor earnestly, and inquired:"Is that so?
7026She looked up to my face and said:"''Are you the man that preached last night and said that Christ could save to the uttermost?''
7026She spoke,"I heard them-- it is Henry; oh, I knew he went-- is he dead?"
7026She then said,"Mister, does this railroad lead to heaven, and does Jesus travel on it?"
7026Should he yield to thin influence and be led by his children to Christ?
7026The mother observing this, repeated her thanks and finally said:"Would you like me to pay you for bringing my child home?"
7026Then she said:"Now, Kittie, you will forgive me for ever being cross to you wo n''t you?"
7026Turning her eyes again upon the conductor, she interrogated him again,"What shall I tell your little girl when I see her?
7026Was he a man?
7026Was my hard work and were the cares of business driving me out of my wits?
7026Was there a heaven, and a hell, and a God of justice?
7026Was there no one near to hear his distressing cries, and rescue the poor child from their cruel grip?
7026Was there something in religion after all?
7026Were his darling children right, and was he alone wrong?
7026What could I do?
7026What could be the matter?
7026What could he do but kneel down and cry to God to have mercy upon him?
7026What could it mean?
7026What is it?"
7026What shall we do for her?
7026What should he do?
7026What should she do?
7026Which was to go?
7026Why do we not help the children to get saved, letting them feel that they are really one with us?
7026Will you forgive me, sister, for being cross to you?"
7026Will you not ask Him to forgive you and help you to live for Him the rest of your life?
7026Wo n''t you, now?"
7026Would n''t you like to see heaven and Jesus, and your little girl?"
7026You have a little girl, have n''t you?"
7026[ Illustration] The brother did not seem to hear as he asked,"You know what being baptized means, Winnie?"
7026[ Illustration] You, fond mother, so busy hour after hour preparing and adorning garments for their pretty little form, have you forgotten the soul?
7026[ Illustration]"Who broke my jug?"
7026[ Illustration]"Why, boy, who beat you like that?"
7026he said,"Did you tell me a wrong story?
7026he said,"what put such a wild thought into your head?
7026why have you brought a stranger into this horrible place?''
27288_ Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?_must be the stay of the believer at such a time, and, by grace, it is my stay now.
27288About four hours after, a sister said to me,"Do you want any money?"
27288Am I not going beyond the measure of my faith in thinking about enlarging the work so as to double or treble it?
27288Am I not undertaking too much for my bodily strength and my mental powers, by thinking about another Orphan House?
27288And how is it now?
27288And how should our Father do otherwise?
27288And since he has not, is it not a plain indication that for the present I should remain a journeyman( or shopman, or clerk, as the case may be)?"
27288And what was it that gave me peace?
27288And why not?
27288And why?
27288Are the things of God, the honor of his name, the welfare of his church, the conversion of sinners, and the profit of your own soul, your chief aim?
27288Are you in debt?
27288Are you out of debt?
27288But how does it work, when we thus anticipate God, by going our own way?
27288But how were we to obtain warmth?
27288But is this indeed the spirit in which children of God generally are engaged in their calling?
27288But perhaps it may be asked, Why do you not take the bread on credit?
27288But what did the Lord do?
27288But what is the result?
27288But what is the right way of looking at the matter?
27288But what was the result?
27288But what was to be done under these circumstances?
27288But what was to be done?
27288But_ if we do not believe_ that God will help us, could we be at peace?
27288Can it be that God has made such promises as these to me, and to such men as I am?
27288Dear reader, does your soul long to be rich towards God, to lay up treasures in heaven?
27288Do I serve God for naught?
27288Do not men believe that God means what he appears plainly to have asserted?
27288Do you make it your primary business, your first great concern, to seek the kingdom of God and his righteousness?
27288Do you really believe in Jesus?
27288Do you verily depend upon him alone for the salvation of your soul?
27288Does he not, however, tell me by all this, Go forward, my servant, and I will help thee?
27288Has it ever occurred to the reader that the Lord only can preserve any one engaged in business from making bad debts?
27288Have I been boasting in God in vain?
27288Have you any_ present_ need for the Institution under your care?
27288He can not doubt that God has in a remarkable manner, at various times, answered his prayers; why should he not always answer them?
27288He sums up the whole in this remarkable language:--"And what shall I say more?
27288How can I get over the plain word of the Lord, which is to the contrary, even if the first four points could be satisfactorily settled?
27288How can we sufficiently praise the Lord for still continuing to use us in his service?
27288How may the case be altered for the better?
27288How shall I do when sickness befalls my family, or when other trials productive of expense come upon me, if I do not make provision for such seasons?
27288How then could I be tired of carrying on the work of God on such principles as I do?
27288How would we decide if a similar case should occur in physics?
27288If an invaluable treasure is here reserved for the believer, he asks, why should I not receive my portion of it?
27288If it be asked, But why should I rise early?
27288If the latter be the case, then, though you may have all the necessaries of life, yet could you be surprised if you had them not?
27288In a universe governed by moral law, why should not moral laws take precedence of all others?
27288Is it not also, perhaps, a snare to puff me up, in attempting to build a very large Orphan House?
27288Is it not an honor to help such brethren?
27288Is it not like"tempting God,"to think of building another Orphan House for seven hundred more orphans?
27288Is it not manifest how precious it is to carry on God''s work in this way, even with regard to the obtaining of means?
27288Is it not manifest that it is most precious in every way to depend upon God?
27288Is it not rather his will that my means should be spent in another way?
27288Is it really a good cause in which I am called upon to become surety?
27288Is not human reason confounded by such instances?
27288Is not this a delusion of Satan, an attempt to cast me down altogether from my sphere of usefulness, by making me to go beyond my measure?
27288Is not this a plain proof that God is both able and willing to help simply in answer to prayer?
27288Is prayer really a power with God, or is it merely an expedient by which our own piety may be cultivated?
27288It may lastly be said, But how shall I set about rising early?
27288It might also be said by a brother whose earnings are small, should_ I_ also give according to my earnings?
27288It might be asked, How much shall I give of my income?
27288It might be asked, How much time shall I allow myself for rest?
27288Lord, how can thy servant know thy will in this matter?
27288May I not well trust in the Lord for what is yet needed for the building fund?
27288My soul laid hold on that word,"Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?"
27288Need such parents despair?
27288Now what is the food for the inner man?
27288Now, looking at it naturally, where is this great sum to come from?
27288Now, ought not the saints in our day also to act according to this word?
27288Or does your business, or your family, or your own temporal concerns, in some shape or other_ primarily_ occupy your attention?
27288Perhaps the reader may ask, What has been the result of this labor in Germany?
27288Shall I have enough myself the next month?
27288Suppose, now, you were even to succeed in getting this large Orphan House built, how will you be able to provide for seven hundred other orphans?
27288That many enemies would laugh, were the Lord to withhold supplies, and say, Did we not foretell that this enthusiasm would come to nothing?
27288The gentleman, turning to the matron, said,"Have you a good stock?"
27288The last words on which I spoke were,"Said I not unto thee that if thou wouldest believe thou shouldest see the glory of God?"
27288The tenth part, or the fifth part, or the third part, or one half, or more?
27288This second point, then, Why do I carry on this business?
27288To whom did I make known our wants, except to those who are closely connected with the work?
27288Well, the Father in heaven said, as it were, by this his dispensation, Art thou willing to give up this child to me?
27288Were these promises limited to prophetical or apostolical times; or have they been left as a legacy to all believers until the end shall come?
27288What could I say against this?
27288What does it matter whether you pay immediately for it, or at the end of the month, or the quarter, or the half year?
27288What is meant by the prayer of faith?
27288What is now to be done?
27288What is the limit within which they may be safely received as a ground of practical reliance?
27288What is the significance of the passages both in the New Testament and the Old which refer to it?
27288What is to be done in such a case?
27288What is to be done under these circumstances?
27288What obliges the person who wishes me to become surety for him to need a surety?
27288What then was to be done?
27288What was to be done?
27288What, then, are the conditions of this remarkable experiment, if such we may call it?
27288When I was first converted, I should have said, What harm can there be to take some of the money which has been put by for the building fund?
27288When it is therefore asked, How shall these facts be accounted for?
27288Where should the heart of the disciple of the Lord Jesus be, but in heaven?
27288Why am I engaged in this trade or profession?
27288Why does this post- office order not come a few days sooner or later?
27288Why is it, then, that this whole range of revealed truth has so generally been looked upon as an unknown and unexplored region?
27288Why should not his prayers be always of the same character?
27288Why should we deny that there is a power in prayer to which we have not commonly attained?
27288Why should we limit either the goodness or the power of God by our own knowledge of what we call the laws of nature?
27288Why should we not admit that"there are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamed of in our philosophy"?
27288Will it be the least particle of uneasiness to their minds, or will their children be the worse for it?
27288Will you not have still greater trials of faith?
27288Wilt thou be pleased to teach him?
27288Would it not be going beyond my measure_ naturally_, with reference to mental and bodily strength?
27288Would not this be going beyond my measure_ spiritually_?
27288Yet do all the children of God give even the_ tenth_ part of what the Lord gives them?
27288You ask, How may I, a true believer, have my faith strengthened?
27288You see I do not care about you, and how are you able to continue to be so kind to me, and thus to serve me?"
27288[ Do not all these objections only hold good, I said to myself, if I were_ needlessly_ to set about building?
27288and why should not the believer always draw near to God in full confidence that he will do as he has said?
27288as the things which you purchase are needful?
27288or, What shall we drink?
27288or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
27288or, if we believe that he means it, do we fear the charge of fanaticism if we openly avow that we take him at his word?

11553_ But can you imagine our surprise when, at our evening prayer meeting, this same Universalist came in_? 11553 _ Do you think that_ THE LORD_ will come down from heaven and buy me a pair of shoes_?"
11553_ Was God at last to fail and forget her? 11553 _"How did he tell you?"
11553__God is not a man, that he should lie; hath he said and shall he not do it?
11553''Did you ask Mrs. W---- to order them?''
11553''Do n''t you know who sent them?''
11553''Do you believe Jesus can cure you?''
11553''Have you a sewing machine?''
11553''Have you anything to eat?''
11553''How did you get here?
11553''I answered,''The Lord sent it, I know; where could it come from?''
11553''If,''said Mrs. F.,''faith is to cure you, why go to Doctor Cullis, or to any one?
11553''That is right; so you believe you will have it by praying for it?''
11553''Well, then leave it with Him; have you opened your letters?''
11553''Well,''said he,''_ will you tell me what I am waiting here for?
11553''Well,''said he,''how do you know, have you prayed about it?''
11553''What did your physician say?''
11553''What is it?''
11553''What is its price?''
11553''What were the numbers?''
11553''What will you do for breakfast?''
11553''What will you do now?''
11553''Where is it to be found?''
11553''Why do you think so?''
11553''Why do you think so?''
11553''Will four hundred pounds be an adequate recompense?''
11553''Will you pray with me that the Lord may, in some way, delay the train at the junction?''
11553''Would it be possible for you to hurry a little?''
11553''Yes,''was the reply;''but who are you?''
11553''_ What gale_?''
11553--to which we replied properly; then he asked:''What is the news from Nueva Leon?''
1155318:9; remarking,''Are not those precious promises?
11553A little girl about four years of age being asked,"Why do you pray to God?"
11553After the ordinary salutation, he asked:(_ ¿de adonde vienen y adonde van?_)''From whence have you come, and where are you going?''
11553After the ordinary salutation, he asked:(_ ¿de adonde vienen y adonde van?_)''From whence have you come, and where are you going?''
11553And could not the same Lord who chose to heal through medicines, also heal without them?
11553And why should it not?
11553And would you sooner rest your decision on a gambler''s test, than on God''s promise?
11553Are you not concerned about your welfare?''
11553As Mrs. Furlong went to give it, Miss Jordan said to her,"Do you want to throw that medicine away?"
11553But how?
11553But the morning studies produced no change in the unsettled state of the question, what shall I preach from to- day?
11553By- and- by the question was repeated,"Mamma, are you there?"
11553Can nobody, nobody save my sister?"
11553Can that be for us?
11553Can there be any true life of faith that does not include this?
11553Can we have any better guide?"
11553Can you not see that his paying that money back, is a simple impossibility?"
11553Could he give these up?
11553Could she kneel and thank the Lord?
11553Could she move her hand?
11553Dear Christian reader, shall the wonderful manifestation of that"purpose"strengthen your faith?
11553Did an angel from heaven bring the money?''
11553Do n''t you see Jesus has cured me?
11553Do you believe he will, Laura?''
11553Do you go to the Bible for everything?"
11553Does not the expression,"Our_ daily_ bread,"mean just this?
11553H.--"Well, perhaps so; but the question with me in such cases, is this: What is duty?
11553H.--"Why not?
11553Have you any special need of five dollars now?
11553Have you ever gone to the Lord as directed above, and found in Him, as David did, a very present help in time of trouble?
11553Have you no money?''
11553He comes to our house, and we have no carpet; I am sure He must come here very often, does n''t He?''
11553He is here now, Annie; ca n''t you feel Him near?
11553He said,''I heard you pray-- you want money, do you?
11553He went from his knees to the bed, and took his friend by the hand; again he said,"Dear Luther, why do n''t you let me depart in peace?"
11553I inquired of the Bishop,''How did you recover from your sickness?''
11553I promptly responded,"Yes, I will go?"
11553I said,''Mc, what''s up now?''
11553I stated all the circumstances of my illness, and was asked if I could trust God to heal me?
11553I stepped down the steps to her, and asked,''What is the matter?''
11553I wanted a new hat so much; and the question arose in my mind,''What am I going to do about it?''
11553I went home that night and said to myself, as I went,''_ How do I know but Christ would keep one from drinking if I would ask him_?''
11553I, poor faithless one, was wondering what does this mean?
11553If the mother, may call in a second physician, to suggest the cause and the cure, may she not call on God?
11553In about an hour, he returned and started back, inquiring,''_ What have you done?''
11553In deep distress, I looked upon the threatening elements, exclaiming over and over,"What shall I do?"
11553In his business hours the thought came over him with the depth of emotion,"WHAT CAN I DO?
11553In the morning, I said,''Laura, did you sleep well last night?''
11553Is it any objection to that faith to say, the age of miracles is past?
11553Is it, then, always permitted for me to pray thus unconditionally respecting temporal concerns?
11553Is my reader a poor Christian?
11553Is there no evidence in this of a special providence, and that God listens to the prayers of persecuted and distressed children?
11553Melancthon roused, looked in the face of Luther, and said,"O Luther, is this you?
11553Might her boy ride down to the wharf and see him off?
11553Miss Jordan went toward her and said,"Mother, do you want your cane?"
11553Must I leave preaching, and attend to a vexatious lawsuit?
11553My sister says,''Annie, did you order them?''
11553Now it seemed sure that he was a rogue, but what could be done?
11553Placing my hand on his shoulder, I asked,''_ Has n''t God answered the prayer_?''
11553Presently she returned and said,''Are you a Christian?''
11553Q.--"Well; what do you see?"
11553Reaching our port they inquired,''Where have you been through the gale?''
11553Realizing the scrutiny and doubt with which I was observed, I said to my father,''What do you think?''
11553Said he to himself,''What shall I do?
11553Said she,''_ Well, if I thought he would take a certain text I would like very much to go and hear him._''Said her husband,''_ What text_?''
11553Said they,"Did you see a woman sitting over there,"describing her?
11553Shall not the living God have the same right?
11553She said,"Please tell me if any one sent you here?"
11553So the thought kept in my heart,''Why ca n''t I pray for one?''
11553Some of the persons in the room were weeping, others laughing; the sons came nearer the bed, and asked,"Mother, do you know me?
11553Sometimes the thought would intrude,''How can you ask for any given sum-- how do you expect it will come?''
11553The gentleman asked,"Can you read?"
11553The little daughter thought that something extraordinary must have happened; and running to her mother with open arms, asked eagerly:''What is it?
11553The question of our Lord in Luke xviii., 8,"When the son of man cometh shall he find faith on the earth?"
11553Then I asked him,''Is the road safe between us and Matamoras?''
11553Then it seemed to her that the Saviour came to her and said,''M----, what aileth thee?''
11553Then she waited as if for an answer, and then added,''_ Wo n''t you, please, God_?''
11553Then turning to the younger sister, he said,"_ How is it, are n''t your shoes worn out?
11553There was a time when his healing power went forth directly; might it not be put forth directly still?"
11553There,"she exclaimed,"can that be what he meant?
11553They gathered around her, and said,"Are you not healed, mother?"
11553They said,"Did you see a man sitting in the house while you was preaching to- day?"
11553WAS IT INSTANTANEOUS?
11553Was he necessarily restricted to the one means?
11553Was it at all probable that so large a sum of money could be sent in so short a time by any one or any number of persons?
11553Was she not fully answered?
11553We looked at each other; I could not say a word, until she said,''What does it all mean?
11553Well, what will you do for yourself?
11553What could I do?
11553What could the mother say?
11553What now was to be done?
11553What possible connection could they have?
11553What say you, gentlemen?"
11553What shall I do to bear up under this?''
11553What shall I do?''
11553What should be done?
11553What the doctor can do for a fellow- practitioner, can not the Great Physician do?
11553What was it that made those ministers so sure-- what was it that made the patient recover, at the exact hour that they prayed?
11553What was to be done?
11553What''s the use seein''?
11553When she had finished, the child( but four years of age) said to her mother,"Dear Mother, may I not offer up one more prayer?"
11553Where had these pieces of silver come from?
11553Where was his money to come from?
11553While waiting for the hour, he heard a voice in the next room as if in grave conversation, and asked the servant,"Who is talking in the next room?"
11553Who was it that knew of the$ 4 waiting in that pocket and prompted that hand to take it out and give it away?
11553Who was it that led that missionary to obtain and send relief just as she was praying for that special amount?
11553Who was it that sent the home missionary to the office of a person he had never seen or known?
11553Who was it that sent the landlord to the lady and fixed that amount of$ 4 in his mind?
11553Why did you go and pray?''
11553Why should not the sick be healed in answer to the prayer of faith?
11553Will He not, dear father, hear our prayers for bread_?"
11553Will he ever again hear the sweet, sad voice,''Wherefore didst thou doubt?''"
11553Will you take it of me?"
11553With the well hand she stretched out her paralyzed hand on the table and said:"Dear Lord, will you heal me?"
11553Would it not be well for Christians to"test"where they can not understand?
11553Would n''t that be a singing school?
11553You spoke with great earnestness, and after we sang the last hymn you remarked,''How can I bless whom God has cursed?
11553_ The times corresponded!_ Was not that prayer instrumental in preserving that life?"
11553_ Was it chance or science?
11553_ Were not his Prayers and efforts specially blessed by the Lord in wisdom, for the guidance of our Nation_?
11553_''What made that captain change his course against his will?''
11553_''What tune do you play oftenest?
11553did you start the singing school?"
11553do you know me?"
11553hath he spoken and shall he not make it good?
11553he repeated, angrily;"you little thief, what brought you here, then?"
11553he said, roughly;"where is your money?"
11553said I, with surprise,''no letters?''
11553she cried,''there comes an awful tempest, and what_ is_ to become of my corn?''
11553what was it?"
41641And may n''t I help? 41641 Are we to stay here always?"
41641Are you ill, dear Milly? 41641 Are you thinking about Life, sister?"
41641Art thou sure that it is the Electoral Princess, and not any other cow?
41641Bob Curtis? 41641 But I wonder if one need take so much?"
41641But is it worth while?
41641But sha''n''t you hate to put your feet on bare boards?
41641But what cured you in this radical and surprising manner?
41641But why,--why should you be ashamed?
41641But will you join the Union?
41641But, mamma, how can it? 41641 Ca n''t something be done to stop those creatures?"
41641Can you talk while you''re working?
41641Colonel Wheeler is such a good traveller; and what would they think if there was a strange family in their rooms? 41641 Could she really be that?
41641Could the harmonica play any music?
41641Day? 41641 Did n''t he laugh?"
41641Did n''t know what was the captain''s? 41641 Did you go to sleep, dear?"
41641Do you dare to make a mock of me?
41641Do you really think that? 41641 Do you think a loose horse can have got into the yard during the night?
41641Does n''t it seem like a fortune? 41641 Drowned?
41641Go to what? 41641 Got what, sir?"
41641Hast thou commerce with the elves?
41641Hast thou heard the news?
41641Hast thou naught else?
41641Have you got a headache?
41641Have you got your sharp- pointed scissors with you?
41641Have you made any yet?
41641Have you really begun? 41641 Have you really?
41641How comes this window to be open? 41641 How could I help it?"
41641How long wilt thou wait?
41641If I''m going to be as tired out as Milly was, and not enjoy it, what''s the use of having a party at all?
41641Is n''t it just lovely?
41641Is that my fault?
41641Mamma, mamma, where are you? 41641 Mamma, mamma,"she cried,"what did I tell you?
41641May I think it over for one night?
41641May n''t I go to the shipwreck with you, Uncle Si?
41641My dear, what can I do? 41641 My poor child, where did you think we had gone?"
41641Now, what is this for?
41641Oh, did he? 41641 Oh, father, not the Lovers''Tree,--the old fir?
41641Oh, how can I thank you?
41641Papa,she cried, as soon as she could speak,"what_ has_ happened?
41641Plans?
41641Shall I ever be like this?
41641Sister, are you in there?
41641Sure? 41641 That will be good, but how canst thou manage it?"
41641Very good; but what kind of presents were you thinking of?
41641Was the knife new?
41641Well, and suppose they had, and that there had been a trifle of dust on the top of some old trunk, what difference would it have made? 41641 Well, are you not going to get into the boat?"
41641Well, stupid, do you know who I am?
41641Well, who said anything about the front door? 41641 What am I going to do?"
41641What are you going to do with your furniture?
41641What can that be?
41641What do you suppose it is?
41641What does ail her?
41641What has she been doing?
41641What is that position? 41641 What is the matter?
41641What is the matter?
41641What on earth does it all mean?
41641What sort of a something?
41641What tree?
41641What was it this time?
41641What?
41641What_ are_ you doing, if I may be so bold as to ask?
41641What_ do_ you mean?
41641What_ is_ the matter?
41641When my visit to Cousin Vi is over, I must decide on something; but what? 41641 Where hast thou been, children?"
41641Where hast thou been, thou idle baggage?
41641Where shall we hide from her? 41641 Who did eat the sweetmeat?
41641Who is''all,''and what sort of a society is it?
41641Why did it come here, any way?
41641Why did n''t you have a paper border; it would not have cost nearly as much?
41641Why do you let him use feather dusters? 41641 Why do you not say so?"
41641Why does she dislike me so?
41641Why dost thou not eat it, dear?
41641Why will you use such inflated language?
41641Why wo n''t you dance with me?
41641Why, what are you crying for, little''un?
41641Why, what is it?
41641Why, what is this?
41641Why, what made you do that?
41641Why,--what day is it?
41641Wo n''t the white muslin soil soon, and wo n''t so much chintz get very dusty?
41641Wo n''t you come out and see him to- morrow, Nursey?
41641Would you like me to dust your things?
41641Yes; what_ do_ you mean? 41641 Yes; which wilt thou have?"
41641You know that ugly fire- board in front of my fireplace? 41641 You see that rook up there, my lad, do n''t you?"
41641All sorts of somethings; but, first of all-- you know how sick Minnie Banister is, do n''t you, mamma?"
41641And how did it happen that you were out?
41641And now that is settled, I must think again, what_ am_ I to do?
41641And what to me remains of good?
41641Are you any better to- day?"
41641At last they got tired of this, and the question arose:"What shall we do next?"
41641But how could he when the captain had the jacket on?
41641But what is the use of such ambitions to a snow- man?
41641But what was your idea, Mary?"
41641But what''s the use of talking?
41641But where to go?
41641But who hast thou here?"
41641But would Reuben stay?
41641Ca n''t we, Elma?"
41641Constant Carrington called?"
41641Constant Carrington whom you used to see so much of two or three years ago?"
41641Did Etelka believe in fairies?
41641Did he eat it, or trade it?"
41641Did he send a strong angel to lift up the latch of the door?
41641Did it rouse thee also, Liebchen?"
41641Didst thou meet some count in the forest-- or the landgrave himself?"
41641Do any of you know what a"walk"is?
41641Do n''t I know the twist of our own cow''s horns?
41641Do n''t you know how much nicer it always is to make Christmas presents than to buy them?
41641Do n''t you recollect it,--two lovely little shepherdesses in blue Watteaus, holding a flower- basket between them?
41641Do n''t you see that I am right?"
41641Do n''t you think she might, Miss Talcott?
41641Do n''t you think that is a good plan, mamma?"
41641Do n''t you think we might make one for Minnie?"
41641Do you think Emmy and I could push you up on to the shelf?"
41641Does any one exactly understand them?
41641Does n''t it seem a pity, Janet?"
41641Does n''t it seem as if she was sent to us, mother?"
41641Embroider for the Women''s Exchanges and Decorative Art Societies?
41641Felicia paid no attention whatever to these observations, only murmured to herself,--"But what to her shall be the end?
41641Georgie glanced at him vaguely, as at a stranger; then recognizing an old friend, she jumped up, exclaiming,"Why Bob-- Mr. Curtis,--how do you do?
41641Georgie,"coaxingly,"why not go for once with me?
41641Had no one missed her?
41641Had she been dreaming?
41641Had the time which seemed to her so long really been so short?
41641Have I not a pair of eyes in my head?
41641Have the Hanburys been to see you?"
41641Hey, dame?"
41641His father failed, do n''t you remember, and lost all his money, and Bob had to leave Harvard and go into some sort of business?"
41641How can a busy household, with milk to set, and milk to skim, and pans to scald, and butter to make, and pigs to feed, find time for a name like that?
41641How could Brie get away?
41641How could a man like that walk?
41641How could our snow- man get at any jam?
41641How could she part with these?
41641How did he answer her?
41641How do you like me now you do see me?"
41641How long could she keep it up?
41641I say, girl, do you hear me?
41641I think I have managed pretty well, do n''t you?"
41641If he did n''t, who did?"
41641In the name of common decency, could n''t you hunt up something to do, if do you must, except this?"
41641Lois had bumped her head, and Emmy''s shoulder was bruised; but what was that?
41641May I have some more, Nursey?"
41641May we go too, and see them chop?
41641Metje, do you think it can be some one who has been drowned?"
41641Now, Davy Crocker,''twasn''t ever you who took that bottle?"
41641Now, will you do it, and just tell me what you will ask for it all?"
41641Oh, Jacque, Jacque,--what were thy blue saucers given thee for?
41641Oh, why had this unhappy quarrel arisen?

41641cried Etelka in despair,"must I then go on dancing forever till I die?"
41641cried Metje;"are you deaf, maiden, that you do not answer me?
41641did n''t they look funny?"
41641has anything dreadful happened?
41641leave a little of that for somebody else, will you?"
41641or"--with a return of suspicion--"is it one of those she gave thee which thou hast dropped?"
41641urged Will Benham;"you said you would when we were talking about the party after the Lecture-- don''t you remember?"
41641what is jam?"
41641what should bring a stranger here at this stormy time?
41641what will people think?"
41641would n''t it be dreadful if the Queen were to be sick?
44950After we had been going about two hours-- Wasn''t it two hours, Dick?
44950Ah, Farringford, are you in the scrape?
44950Ai n''t you tuckered out?
44950And a sister?
44950And did n''t you break down this door? 44950 And so you found your father?"
44950And then to rob me?
44950And you left the oar fast to the line?
44950Another of Matt''s brothers?
44950Any by the name of Gracewood?
44950Anything on the neck?
44950Are you satisfied, sir, that I am what I say I am?
44950Are you sure he is your father?
44950Are you sure, sir?
44950At what time?
44950Before he took your pocket- book from you?
44950But after that?
44950But ca n''t you send five as well as three?
44950But did n''t my uncle have any money?
44950But did you mean to have me help you steal the twenty- four thousand dollars?
44950But have n''t you heard from her?
44950But how came you at Delaware City?
44950But if you keep ahead of her all the time, how shall we get any news from her?
44950But suppose they take away the ladder?
44950But where did you put it, sir?
44950But where is she?
44950But where were you going to- night?
44950But why did you come back, Phil?
44950But you did n''t make any?
44950Ca n''t you find one?
44950Calm? 44950 Can I make Phil a present of a hundred dollars?"
44950Can it be possible that you are my lost child, Philip?
44950Can you identify your money?
44950Can you lay shingles, Phil?
44950Can you make pies and cake?
44950Can you? 44950 Could n''t you let me have a little of it?"
44950Could you give me some more of the medicine I took last night and this morning? 44950 Dead-- is he?"
44950Detective?
44950Did Farringford call you his son?
44950Did he die of rheumatism?
44950Did he have any property?
44950Did he know you had this money?
44950Did he send for you, sir?
44950Did n''t he ask you something about the upper Missouri, and tell you he had an uncle there? 44950 Did n''t you put my pipe out?"
44950Did n''t you write a billet to me?
44950Did you call him your son?
44950Did you come up through that scuttle?
44950Did you do that?
44950Did you ever hear that he and his wife were on board a steamer which was burned on the upper Missouri?
44950Did you ever see these before?
44950Did you expect him to trust Phil at sight?
44950Did you know him?
44950Did you let the room to any other person?
44950Did you look along the shore as you came down?
44950Did you see anything of the Daylight?
44950Did you take on any passengers at Delaware City?
44950Die?
44950Do n''t I tell you that this young man has been robbed and abused by the villains in this house?
44950Do n''t you think they told the truth?
44950Do n''t you want to go to bed now?
44950Do you call that talking like a gentleman, Phil?
44950Do you doubt my word?
44950Do you happen to have half a dollar in your pocket, my lad?
44950Do you justify this young man in calling you his father, Farringford?
44950Do you know either of these parties?
44950Do you know him?
44950Do you know in what region he is located?
44950Do you know me?
44950Do you know the name of the person they intended to visit?
44950Do you know what Lynch stole from that room?
44950Do you know what clothes it had on?
44950Do you know where he is now?
44950Do you know where my brother is now, young man?
44950Do you know where my mother is?
44950Do you live at the south?
44950Do you live on one meal a day?
44950Do you stay here all night?
44950Do you still persist in saying that Farringford is your father?
44950Do you suppose the Gracewoods are on board of her?
44950Do you suppose the boat upset?
44950Do you think it would be wrong, sir?
44950Do you think you can lift your end of a board?
44950Do you wish to go into the steamboat business, Philip? 44950 Do?
44950Does that young man get two dollars a day?
44950Down stream?
44950Gambling?
44950Gone to ruin?
44950Had he a family?
44950Have n''t you any money?
44950Have you an envelope?
44950Have you any money?
44950Have you either the pocket- book or the purse, Farringford?
44950Have you found the boat, captain?
44950Have you heard from your brother within a few years?
44950Have you seen Mr. Farringford to- day?
44950Have you the note with you-- the note of Mr.--What''s his name?
44950Hope? 44950 How are you, Lynch?"
44950How are you, Mr. Leonidas Lynchpinne?
44950How are you, Phil Farringford?
44950How can you go if the boat remains here?
44950How do you do, Farringford?
44950How do you do, Mr. Leonidas Lynchpinne?
44950How do you happen to be in such a place, then?
44950How long before you leave?
44950How long have you led such a life?
44950How much can you take him for, madam?
44950How much farther have we to go?
44950How much is it worth?
44950How much money did you lose?
44950How much money have you, Phil?
44950How was Mrs. Gracewood when you left Delaware City?
44950I did?
44950I do n''t know where to look for one, but I suppose you will not think of living at the Planters''Hotel?
44950I will not have my steps dogged by such a fellow as you are?
44950In what kind of a shawl was it wrapped when you placed it on the door?
44950Is Mr. Clinch at home?
44950Is he a brother of Robert Gracewood of Glencoe?
44950Is he insane?
44950Is he living?
44950Is he? 44950 Is n''t our business finished, Philip?"
44950Is n''t this the room to which you sent him and me, and did n''t you give him the key?
44950Is that where you keep your money?
44950Is the family still there?
44950Is the man I came with in there?
44950Is there one by the name of Leonidas Lynchpinne?
44950Is there to be a prayer- meeting this evening?
44950Is this it?
44950Is this the way you keep my secret?
44950Is your mind so weak as that?
44950Known me?
44950Lost it? 44950 Matt Rockwood had a brother-- did he not?"
44950May I ask if you are a relative of Henry Gracewood?
44950Mr. Mark Rockwood?
44950Must I lose my money for that reason?
44950Not a dollar?
44950Now, Phil, what do you do?
44950Now, how was the child lost?
44950On which side did you land?
44950Once for all, then, will you clear out, or not?
44950Or any name like it?
44950Out? 44950 Phil, do you always speak the truth?"
44950Shall I give them the note, which I have in my pocket?
44950Should I stick to it if I can do better at something else?
44950That''s all very well, Phil; but where were you born?
44950Then I have no chance, you think?
44950Then you did not come to this hotel to see me?
44950Then you did not knock him down till he laid hands upon Farringford?
44950Then you did take these things from him?
44950Then you do n''t call it a crime to knock a man down, and take his purse and pocket- book from him?
44950Then you talked over their relationship while the boy held you on the ground?
44950This is the note that those ruffians wanted?
44950Was he really, though?
44950Was he sick long?
44950Was the young lady sick?
44950Well, Conant, how does Phil get along?
44950Well, Phil, how did you get along shingling?
44950Well, how did you stop her at last?
44950Well, what are they worth?
44950Well, what did you do? 44950 Well, what will you do?"
44950What Gracewood?
44950What are you going to do with that?
44950What did he say to him?
44950What did you want of me?
44950What do you intend to do?
44950What do you mean by his son?
44950What do you mean by putting your pipe out?
44950What do you mean by that?
44950What do you mean, Phil? 44950 What do you mean, sir?"
44950What do you mean, young man?
44950What do you think has become of them?
44950What do you want of me?
44950What do you want to know?
44950What do you want, John?
44950What do you want, young man?
44950What do you wish to know in regard to that steamer, Phil?
44950What does Mr. Farringford do?
44950What has he done?
44950What have you been doing, Phil?
44950What have you to say?
44950What is a runner?
44950What is his name?
44950What is it, captain?
44950What is it?
44950What is lost?
44950What is that?
44950What is your business with me?
44950What is your name?
44950What money? 44950 What room did you take with him, young man?"
44950What shall I do?
44950What shall we do?
44950What should you regard as conclusive, sir?
44950What sort of a place is this?
44950What time did the boat leave Kansas City?
44950What trick were you engaged in?
44950What was his other name?
44950What will you do with Mr. Gracewood''s goods and baggage?
44950What''s that noise here?
44950What''s that, Phil?
44950What''s that?
44950What''s the matter?
44950What''s the row?
44950What''s the trouble?
44950What?
44950When did he tell you so?
44950When did you run steamboats?
44950When did you see her last?
44950Where and by what means should a boy of your tender years obtain nearly a hundred dollars? 44950 Where are the passengers who went with you?"
44950Where are you going now?
44950Where did they go then?
44950Where did they go?
44950Where did you get this locket, young man?
44950Where did you go then?
44950Where do you board?
44950Where do you get that one?
44950Where do you live?
44950Where do you live?
44950Where do you sleep?
44950Where from?
44950Where is Lynch?
44950Where is Redwood?
44950Where is he now?
44950Where is he?
44950Where is he?
44950Where is she?
44950Where is that?
44950Where is the boat?
44950Where is the gentleman? 44950 Where is the landing- place?"
44950Where is the man that calls himself Lynch?
44950Where is the place?
44950Where is this messenger?
44950Where is your home, Phil?
44950Where is your mother? 44950 Where will you go?"
44950Where''s Lynch?
44950Where?
44950Wherefore should I soil the dignity of a gentleman by becoming a thief- taker?
44950Who are you, young man, and why do you ask me these questions?
44950Who are you?
44950Who brought this?
44950Who did it?
44950Who is he?
44950Who told you so?
44950Who''s there?
44950Who?
44950Whose room is that you came out of just now?
44950Why did he call you his son?
44950Why did n''t you go up to Leavenworth, where you knew the boat would be in the morning?
44950Why did n''t you sing out?
44950Why did you come back? 44950 Why did you leave, then, before morning?"
44950Why did you send to my boarding- house for my money?
44950Why do I ask? 44950 Why do n''t you make a landing here?
44950Why do you ask?
44950Why not go to Forstellar''s? 44950 Why not?
44950Why not?
44950Why not?
44950Why not?
44950Why should you bother your head about the boy?
44950Why were you so determined to rob me, Lynch?
44950Why, where are they?
44950Will you drop that poker, Phil?
44950Will you follow me down this ladder?
44950Will you go down alone?
44950Will you help me get my money back?
44950Will you hold your tongue?
44950Will you state precisely how that child was lost, sir?
44950Would n''t it be just as well that he should pay it over to me, and I will pass it to you?
44950Would n''t it have been more economical to stay on board the steamer?
44950Wrong?
44950You could n''t help it?
44950You do n''t mean to say that Farringford here, whom everybody in St. Louis knows, is your father-- do you?
44950You do n''t want me any longer?
44950You do?
44950You had a brother, sir?
44950You heard Clinch say that I did not do half as much work as you did?
44950You knew Matthew, then?
44950You lived near him, then?
44950You prefer to stay here-- do you?
44950Young man, do you know the character of this house?
44950Your business, if you please?
44950And so uncle Matt is dead too?"
44950Are you afraid of them?"
44950Are you ready to give up the note?"
44950Are you the one?"
44950But what''s it all about?
44950But who are you, young man?"
44950But why do you say that?"
44950But, Farringford, was there no mark or scar of any kind on the child which will enable you to identify him?"
44950By the way, Phil, how is the weather on the roof?"
44950Ca n''t you tell me now?"
44950Captain Davis?"
44950Did n''t you hear me tell the whole story in the police station, Mr. Leonidas Lynchpinne?"
44950Did you ever hear of such a man?"
44950Did you see him take it?"
44950Did you speak the truth when you said you had not even half a dollar?"
44950Do n''t you know me?"
44950Do n''t you see that I am calm?
44950Do n''t you think I look like my uncle Matt?"
44950Do you happen to have it about you?"
44950Do you happen to remember what it is?"
44950Do you know anything about it?"
44950Do you know, my lad, that I''m telling you all this to save you from whiskey?
44950Do you mean to keep the whole of it?"
44950Do you suppose anything could have happened to them?"
44950Do you take the names of all the passengers?"
44950Do you think it is honest to keep him out of his money?"
44950Does Mr. Gracewood intend to support you?"
44950Does anything go wrong?"
44950Farringford?"
44950Farringford?"
44950Farringford?"
44950Farringford?"
44950Farringford?"
44950Farringford?"
44950Farringford?"
44950Gracewood?"
44950Greenough?"
44950Greenough?"
44950Have you any left, Redwood?"
44950Have you any money?"
44950How dare you use that word to me?"
44950How did you know anything about it?"
44950How old are you, Phil?"
44950How old are you, boy?"
44950I am now out of business, with less than ten dollars in the world; and why do I ask whether my uncle had any property?"
44950I can cook and wash.""What can you cook?"
44950In a word, Philip, where did you get your money?"
44950Is that so?"
44950Louis?"
44950Lynch?"
44950Lynch?"
44950Lynchpinne?"
44950Now, can you tell me where this money is?"
44950Rockwood?"
44950Rockwood?"
44950They would do what they could to recover my money; and if they succeeded, where should they send it?
44950Was she lost?"
44950Were you with him when he died?"
44950What can you do?"
44950What do you mean to do here in St. Louis?
44950What do you mean, you saucy young cub?"
44950What do you want of him?"
44950What have you been doing up here?"
44950What have you there?"
44950What note?"
44950What should I do?
44950What trade do you mean to learn?"
44950What was the matter?"
44950What was the old man doing?"
44950When can I see you and talk over this other matter with you?"
44950When did you arrive?"
44950When did you see your uncle?"
44950Where do you live, Philip?"
44950Where is it?
44950Where?"
44950Which is his room?"
44950Why did Lynch send for you to go up into his room?"
44950Why should I?"
44950Will you be so kind as not to mention the fact to him?"
44950Will you go to the Planters''Hotel?"
44950Wo n''t you smoke a cigar, Phil?"
44950Wo n''t you walk in?"
44950You must ask my father?"
44950and did n''t he tell you the name of his uncle before you had mentioned it?"
