30609	Art thou he that troublest Israel?
30609	Did not our hearts burn within us while He talked with us by the way, and while He opened to us the Scriptures?
30609	Do you know who I am?
30609	Doest thou well to be angry?
30609	If we preached as long as this what would happen?
30609	If_ he_ succeeds, why do not I?
30609	Is there any sorrow like unto My sorrow?
30609	Lovest thou Me?
30609	Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? 30609 Who,"asks the Psalmist,"shall ascend into the hill of the Lord, or who shall stand in His holy place?

30609	...."And why take ye thought for raiment?
30609	...."Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings?
30609	Again, can it be denied that amongst us as a people the Sacrament of the Lord''s Supper is undervalued?
30609	And how are we to keep this sublime purpose of God ever in recollection, making it our own?
30609	And how has the change come to pass?
30609	And of what use is any lower understanding or interpretation of the purpose of Christ?
30609	And what are the verities whose application he must have experienced?
30609	And what are these higher heights to which he has to point his fellows?
30609	And what is the cause of this dulness?
30609	And what manner of preaching is needed for the service of this saving and edifying end?
30609	Are we not told to expect new light as years pass on?
30609	Are we quite guiltless of seeking in the Christian Society a forgetfulness of the things that wither and blast human souls without?
30609	Are we so full of the sense of the triumph drawing nearer that our hearts are already rejoicing with the joy of Harvest?
30609	Are we so given up to the enterprise of saving men that we rest not day nor night for very longing for their salvation?
30609	Are we so set upon giving glory to Christ that we long for the opportunity to come to speak His name in the congregation?
30609	Behind this solicitude the best reasons lie, but is there no danger to these young people in all this amiability?
30609	Beside all this, are there not personal experiences in the lives of all of us which make it hard to keep our eyes upon the stars?
30609	But suppose that we preached as_ interestingly_ as the politician spoke?
30609	Can he forget how the warning ambassador of his hitherto despised Redeemer came to_ him_?
30609	Can he forget the mire and the clay and the horrible pit from which a strong hand brought him forth?
30609	Can he forget those days of darkness and of shame?
30609	Can it be possible, that in some degree, the preaching of the preachers has been to blame for the things we mourn?
30609	Can it be that he fell because in the House of Prayer no voice warned him?
30609	Can it be that he has committed the greater sin because no reproof was whispered in his ear concerning the beginnings of transgression?
30609	Can we not follow them to the dawning of another day, and behold their going forth, once again, to the tasks of life brightly, bravely, cheerily?
30609	Confession?
30609	Could anything be more fearful than the indictment they laid?
30609	Did the messenger suppress the truth because it was hard to utter?
30609	Did these men sometimes speak falteringly, and with hesitation, the message in which they asked and promised glorious things?
30609	Did they, from the very darkness of the clouds lowering above them, see only the lower slopes of the Mountains of the Lord?
30609	Did we emphasise the preacher''s need of a clear view of the infinite, loving purpose behind the work he is sent to carry through?
30609	Did we point out his need to discern the true glory of his message, which is that it_ alone_ is the message that is indeed from the heart of God?
30609	Did we say that he must come into a consciousness of the true dignity of his office?
30609	Do we always ask for_ penitence_ as unmistakably as we ought?
30609	Do we never hear it said that"it does not so much matter in_ our_ circuit whether we have a preacher or not"?
30609	Do we receive-- do we preach them as we ought?
30609	Do we show them the path"o''er moor and fen, o''er crag and torrent,"to the heights that kiss the stars?
30609	Do we truly put before them that high life their spirits yearn to live?
30609	Do you say that such and such an one ought not to be in the pulpit?
30609	Does he stand before thousands-- a man of learning, of eloquence, of far flung fame?
30609	Does her faith wax, or wane?
30609	Does her love grow colder or warmer with the passing years?
30609	Does our preaching answer these instinctive expectations, these deep longings, these inborn hopes in those to whom we are sent?
30609	For what is the Christian preacher?
30609	Has not every preacher the right to look upon himself as the possible organ of new revelations to his fellows?
30609	Has the preacher never been guilty of turning aside from this theme of his to what the Apostle called"cunningly devised fables"?
30609	Has this never been done?
30609	Have passing years dimmed our ardour?
30609	Have they chilled our love?
30609	Have we gathered pulpit powers, or lost them, as the days have flown over our heads?
30609	Have we never been told that really the man most needed is"a visitor,"or"an organiser,"or"someone who can raise the wind"?
30609	Have we this absolutely essential possession in our hearts, in our preaching, as we have had it aforetime, as our fathers had it?
30609	How beat her pulses_ now_?
30609	How is it with us now?
30609	How often in the Old Testament do we find the record of such a revelation?
30609	How run the currents of her life in the days that_ are_?
30609	Indeed, is any lower interpretation possible on the face of things?
30609	Is it absolutely certain that this fact always works out to the advantage of the preacher and his people?
30609	Is it not true that some preachers condescend too much from the word given unto them?
30609	Is it too late in the argument to ask what this pity really and truly is?
30609	Is it well with her, or is it ill?
30609	Is it_ quite_ impossible for a young man to be put in peril by our very anxiety to save him?
30609	Is there any need for self- reproach on our part, or can we answer all these questions with a gladness increasing with each successive reply?
30609	May we call it the human, the temperamental, dispositional part?
30609	May we even dare to say that it will be necessary for him to devote much of his strength to what has been termed doctrinal preaching?
30609	One more question:--Is the possession of this certainty consistent with progress?
30609	Shall we venture to prophesy?
30609	So then the man himself matters?
30609	Stand we here-- each for himself?
30609	Suppose we had learned something from the great dramatist of the art of assailing and winning the attention of the men and women to whom we speak?
30609	The more we think of all that is involved the more emphasis we throw into the question--_how has it to be done_?
30609	The worst of it is that in our effort to be another we have ceased to be ourselves, and after such a loss what do we still possess?
30609	There is much of this kind of doctoring and what is the result of it?
30609	They should ask,"_ Can it be that even I am guilty of being dull_?"
30609	This question may pave the way for others:--Is there anything amiss with the substance of my preaching, with its methods, with its spirit?
30609	This were well if the whole truth were told; but what manner of fatherhood is that of which we all too often hear?
30609	Understanding of what?
30609	Was not one of the Master''s words to us"It shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak"?
30609	Was there no message committed to the preacher for that man as he drew near the parting of the ways?
30609	Was there not beef to eat?
30609	We do not speak of these unpleasant things, for why be singular in direful prophecy?
30609	What but the oft- repeated criticism that the sermon had small practical application to the every- day side of things?
30609	What can keep him in countenance among it all?
30609	What could have been done more in My vineyard, that I have not done in it?
30609	What new device of sensationalism had brought them together?
30609	What startling announcement had been flung out over the city to attract this mighty concourse?
30609	What, then, is it that is asked?
30609	Where do you abhor sin as you abhor it upon the slopes of Calvary?
30609	Where do you pity sinners as you pity them there?
30609	Where is he?
30609	Wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?"
30609	Who could wonder?
30609	Who shall say these critics were wrong?
30609	Why not begin with the purpose of finding out how much is true?
30609	Why not seek for confirmations as well as for contradictions?
30609	Why should he not come into the preacher''s department, into the pulpit, into the study?
30609	Why the startling difference?
30609	Will our brethren of their charity acquit us of the charge of presumption in taking up the theme now timidly approached?
30609	Will such as cherish it join with us in thinking of these things?
30609	Will the winning of others be easier than was the victory won over ourselves?

39231	About me?
39231	And Uncle Laban?
39231	And he really says I may go?
39231	And will He go out by the same road that we came?
39231	And you wish to go too?
39231	And you?
39231	Are you going out on the lake this morning? 39231 Are you going to stay at home now, father?"
39231	Are you not glad we are here?
39231	Are you not the lad whose lameness has just been healed by my best friend? 39231 Aunt Leah,"he asked, coming back to the first question,"do n''t you think He must have meant me as well as those men?"
39231	Believest thou that I can do this?
39231	Carest Thou not that we perish?
39231	Child, have you no care for us?
39231	Could any one answer them?
39231	Cripple him as he did me?
39231	Did n''t I go fast?
39231	Did n''t you always live here?
39231	Do I really make you feel that way, little one? 39231 Do n''t you think it would be just as easy to cure a leper as to raise Rabbi Lazarus from the dead?"
39231	Do you know when the Master is going to leave Bethany?
39231	Do you mean that I may come here every day? 39231 Do you see that?"
39231	Do you see those bunches of half- grown grapes? 39231 Do you suppose he could straighten out such a crooked back as mine?
39231	Do you think he''ll do anything for me, if I go to him now?
39231	Do you think it possible that this friend of mine is the One to be sent of God?
39231	Do_ you_ believe it is true?
39231	Does He never talk about it?
39231	Does she ever see him?
39231	Does your aunt never give you any tasks to do at home?
39231	Even this miracle at the marriage feast in Cana?
39231	Father Phineas,he asked,"do you remember the story we heard from the old shepherd, Heber?
39231	Go back, and say that John Baptist asks,''Art Thou the Coming One, or must we look for another?''
39231	Has He not twice walked out unharmed, before their very eyes, when they would have taken Him? 39231 He will come right away and make him well, wo n''t He, mother?"
39231	How can such things be?
39231	How could He mean that He has overcome the world? 39231 How did you manage to penetrate these Roman- guarded walls?"
39231	How far can you shoot with it?
39231	How long before you start?
39231	How long do you expect to be away?
39231	How old a man is this friend of yours?
39231	How would you do it?
39231	I wish it could be this way every night, do n''t you, Ruth?
39231	If He goes away again may I not go with Him? 39231 If Thou art the Messiah, why dost Thou not set up Thy kingdom, and speedily give Thy servant his liberty?"
39231	Is He never going to set up His kingdom?
39231	Is He not even now making ready to establish His kingdom?
39231	Is it not meet that he should herald his presence by miracles and signs and wonders?
39231	Is it not strange,asked Benjamin the potter,"that having such power He still delays to establish His kingdom?"
39231	Is not this prophet, Jesus, He who is to save Israel?
39231	Is not this the accepted time for the coming of Israel''s Messiah?
39231	Joel, did_ you_ see Him after He was risen?
39231	Joel, my lad, may I ask your help for a little while?
39231	Lord, to whom shall we go?
39231	May I have these pieces of fine wood to use as I please?
39231	May I run and speak to him?
39231	Oh, am I really to go, too?
39231	Oh, are you sure?
39231	Oh, can you read?
39231	Oh, have you?
39231	Oh, how? 39231 Oh, was n''t there_ one_ to stand up for Him?"
39231	Oh, why did He not come sooner?
39231	Oh, why should He be persecuted so?
39231	Rabbi Phineas,he asked gently, after a long pause,"what makes you so good to me?
39231	Rabbi Phineas,said Joel, with a trembling voice,"do n''t you think your friend is the prophet we are expecting?"
39231	Rabbi Phineas,ventured Joel, respectfully,"is that not the wood you charged me to save so carefully?"
39231	Rehum?
39231	Shall I run and tell Joseph what you are going to do?
39231	Shall Joel take the pigeon home with him, little daughter?
39231	That brings hope for the future; but what comfort is there for the lonely years we must live without him?
39231	There is a lad here which hath five barley loaves and two small fishes, but what are they among so many?
39231	To crown Him?
39231	WHAT are you looking for, grandfather?
39231	WHO is that talking in the house?
39231	Was it to follow Rabbi Jesus of Nazareth?
39231	Was n''t there_ one_ to speak a word in His defence? 39231 We greeted them respectfully, but could not speak for astonishment when we heard their question:"''Where is he that is born king of the Jews?
39231	Well, did she whip you?
39231	Were you always like that?
39231	What are you going to make her?
39231	What are you going to make?
39231	What brought_ you_ here?
39231	What did He say?
39231	What did He say?
39231	What do you find to do all day, my lad?
39231	What do you mean by poor Rehum? 39231 What does he want to do?"
39231	What have we to do with Thee, Jesus of Nazareth? 39231 What is it, Mother Abigail?"
39231	What is it?
39231	What is it?
39231	What is the meaning of all this?
39231	What manner of man is this?
39231	What shall we do?
39231	What think you that I saw just now?
39231	What was that?
39231	What''s that?
39231	When are we going back to our other home?
39231	When are we going to start for Jerusalem?
39231	Where art Thou now?
39231	Where can I find this man?
39231	Where did it come from?
39231	Where do you live?
39231	Where have all these people been?
39231	Where is He for whom I was but a voice crying in the wilderness? 39231 Where is the Master?"
39231	Where is your father, little one?
39231	Where was he born?
39231	Where were the hosts of Pharaoh when our fathers passed through the Red Sea? 39231 Where?"
39231	Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?
39231	Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk? 39231 Who battled for us when the walls of Jericho fell down?
39231	Who is that boy talking to Jesse?
39231	Who lives across the street?
39231	Who told you that?
39231	Who''s Joel?
39231	Why did He not save him then?
39231	Why did I not come to you before with my worries?
39231	Why did such a thing have to be?
39231	Why did ye not take Him, as ye were ordered?
39231	Why did you take the trouble to come and tell me that,--a poor despised leper?
39231	Why do n''t you go and see for yourself if the tomb is empty?
39231	Why does n''t He come?
39231	Why may not His prophet speak peace to Jerusalem as easily as He did the other night to the stormy sea? 39231 Why may not this be also?"
39231	Why trouble ye the Master?
39231	Why was all this ointment wasted?
39231	Why where have you been all your life?
39231	Why, are you not happy here, little daughter?
39231	Why, my son?
39231	Why?
39231	Why?
39231	Will He be here, I wonder?
39231	Will He be here?
39231	Will He be here?
39231	Will He be here?
39231	Will you not tell Rabbi Nathan about the wonderful star that was seen at that time?
39231	Would ye also go away?
39231	Would ye stop the great work He has come to do for matters of such little importance?
39231	Yes, Rabbi Phineas, what would you have me to do?
39231	You, too?
39231	Abigail laid her hand on his, her dark eyes glowing with intense earnestness, as she answered:"What need is there of armies and human hands to help?
39231	Abigail,"he asked,"do you remember my friend in Nazareth whom I so often speak of,--the son of Joseph the carpenter?
39231	And besides what good could you do, my boy?
39231	And yet how can I leave you and the little ones alone in these troubled times?
39231	Are n''t you glad?
39231	Art thou come to destroy us?
39231	Believest thou this?"
39231	But he paused in the act of handing it to Joel, to ask,"You are sure, now, that your uncle and aunt will consent to such an arrangement?"
39231	But what kind of one?
39231	But what was it that made her start back terrified, and shrink away trembling?
39231	But where was the princely Redeemer of prophecy?
39231	Can I not take Joel and the children to Bethany?
39231	Can they, Seth?"
39231	Could he be the same boy?
39231	Could he do less?
39231	Could you take me with you?"
39231	Did not you yourself help prepare the body for burial, and put it in the tomb?"
39231	Did you never go to a synagogue?"
39231	Do n''t you know how white and thin she looked when they carried her by a little while ago?
39231	Have you forgotten the wealthy young oil- seller who lived next the synagogue?
39231	Have you not heard that Messiah has come?
39231	Have_ you_ ever known Him to do anything to make these men His enemies?"
39231	He was a publican, and how could they reach to such depths?
39231	How can I bear it?
39231	How can I do otherwise?
39231	How could he give up his hope of revenge, when it had grown with his growth till it had come to be as dear as life itself?
39231	How did it make you feel?"
39231	How did you ever think of asking me?"
39231	How did you get out?"
39231	How doth He now say,"I am come down out of heaven"?''
39231	I heard him say scornfully:''Is not this the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know?
39231	Is n''t that just exactly what you planned; or did you want the pleasure of punching them out yourself?"
39231	Is the Lord''s arm shortened that He can not save?
39231	Joel''s face flushed with pleasure, and he sprang up quickly, saying,"May I begin right now?
39231	Lord, why casteth Thou off my soul?
39231	Oh, Rabbi Phineas, did you ever know before that there could be such green pastures and still waters?"
39231	Oh, can it be possible that''the Lord hath laid on_ Him_ the iniquity of us all''?
39231	Oh, why was I not taken instead of Lazarus?"
39231	Oh,_ do_ you think he could make them all right?"
39231	Or rather, would you not like to come all the way?
39231	Phineas looked searchingly into his face as he replied,"Would you be greatly disappointed, my son, not to go this year?"
39231	Phineas, who had been His earliest friend and playfellow, would he not be lifted to the right hand of power?
39231	Shall the dead arise again and praise Thee?
39231	The roll dropped to the ground, and he hid his face in his hands, crying,"How long must I endure this?
39231	Then he turned to Joel to ask,"Did you ever ride on a camel, my boy?"
39231	Then why should not my feet be always swift to bring others to Him for the same happy healing?
39231	Was there bloodshed and fighting there?
39231	What are all these lessons, if not to teach us that the purposes of God do not depend on human hands to work out their fulfilment?"
39231	What do you see?"
39231	What makes you so different from other people?
39231	What''s this one for?"
39231	What''s yours?"
39231	What''s yours?"
39231	Where is the Master?"
39231	Where were His dyed garments from Bozrah?
39231	Who could realize how much it meant to the little fellow whose halting steps had so long been taken in weariness and suffering?
39231	Who told you?"
39231	Whose hand smote the Assyrians at Sennacherib?
39231	Why do n''t you go and ask the good man to straighten your back?"
39231	Why do n''t you take some up there, and offer them for sale?"
39231	Why does He not show Himself?"
39231	Why hidest Thou Thy face from me?"
39231	Why may not His power be multiplied even as the loaves and fishes?
39231	Why, how could you?"
39231	Will you come?"
39231	Will you hand me that rope?"
39231	Wilt Thou show wonders to the dead?
39231	_ Was_ it the Christ who had passed by?
39231	another feast?"
39231	called little Ruth,"where is you?"
54246	''Do you hear that, missis? 54246 ''Is Seraphine as comely as her brothers?''
54246	''Is she grown- up?'' 54246 He sprang up almost beside himself, and said:--''What should I say?
54246	How is it, then, that you did not understand any thing?
54246	How''s that? 54246 Of course I do,"he replied;"but do you imagine that I care for abuse?
54246	This man''s logic and style,say they,"are weak; how comes it that he is so attractive?"
54246	Toward noon, or one o''clock, he must go out, and asks himself: Where shall I go to- day? 54246 What are the lords?"
54246	What interest, then, have you in coming?
54246	What is it, then, my good friend?
54246	Why are you so proud of your fine clothes? 54246 --Did not our heart burn within us, while He talked with us by the way?"
54246	--that is, Dost thou know how to save the souls of men?
54246	... And do you know how one of this class passes his life who does not work?
54246	... Are all these your children?''
54246	... Are not our pagans in France worth as much as the pagans of Oceania?
54246	... Are these latter always prudent and conciliatory in their mode of procedure?
54246	... Be persuaded that the world is tired of fine speeches; it wants actions: and of that demand, who can complain?
54246	... Can you repel religion, can you repulse God himself, whom we are about to send to you this evening in the angelic form of a dearly loved child?
54246	... Do you hear their reply?"
54246	... Ethics also are learnt, and the solution of difficulties which occur at the confessional: but what if the people do not come to confession?
54246	... Have not a few words often sufficed to revolutionize multitudes, and to produce an immense impression?
54246	... How is it with us, whenever we have a strong desire for any thing?
54246	... How, then, can I enjoy a moment''s happiness whilst knowing that he is wicked or wretched?"
54246	... How, then, can we expect to make others believe what we do not seem to them to believe ourselves?
54246	... Is a priest who is without zeal a priest at all?
54246	... Is it not to that end that we have no family ties?
54246	... Is there a country whose ambassadors have cognizance of such language, and not only retain their posts, but become ministers?
54246	... Pray, can they be expected to persevere when thus left to their own resources?
54246	... What truths can they lay hold of to resist themselves, to fill the void in their souls, to control themselves under the trials of life?
54246	... What would be thought of a man who should converse in a similar way in a drawing- room?
54246	... What, we ask again, is a youth to do with his affections under circumstances like these?
54246	... Where, indeed, are we to look for men with a will?
54246	... Why should it be troubled, knowing that it is secure in the Power on which it relies?
54246	... Would you like us to go begging our bread?
54246	... You, with all your religious knowledge, with all your acquired virtues, with all your experience and age, would you do so in their place?
54246	..."Is Jesus Christ a mere man; or is he the Son of God?"
54246	A sharp working man, who had been listening to a sermon, was once asked--"What did the preacher say?
54246	All they shall speak and say unto thee: Art thou also become weak as we?
54246	Am I not endowed with reason?
54246	Am I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?
54246	Am not I a man as well as he?
54246	And can we be happy while we see them wicked and miserable?
54246	And if pious and intelligent men are of that opinion, what must the masses think?
54246	And who have been the masters of this great French people?
54246	And why?
54246	And you would have me believe that this is the religion of Christ?
54246	And, besides, who knows but that it might subject them to the charge of being deficient in dignity?
54246	Apart from charity, what remains?
54246	Are not all a source of good to those who love?
54246	Are not our French little ones as deserving of compassion as Chinese children?
54246	Are not the people still children?
54246	Are not the people the most notable part of our family?
54246	Are not the two hundred millions of pernicious books scattered throughout France enough?
54246	Are reapers and hirelings called the hosts of those who pay them?
54246	Are there many Unbelievers in France?
54246	Are there many Unbelievers in France?
54246	Are they not the most delectable joys which earth can afford?
54246	Are they right in this, or are they to blame?
54246	Are we certain that we should find the same frankness and courage elsewhere?
54246	Are we ignorant of what a man is who is vicious, or ignorant, or passionate?
54246	Are we not all children still, in more than one respect?
54246	Are we not aware that they must banter or ridicule some one, even though it be a benefactor?
54246	Are we not still in the middle ages?"
54246	Art thou quite sure that thou lovest Me?"
54246	As to probity, fidelity, and discretion, where are they to be found?
54246	Ask you what it is?
54246	Ask:"Is it not true?
54246	Astronomy has changed; philosophy has changed; empire has changed; why are you always the same?''
54246	Besides, we shall encounter opposition?"
54246	But do not we assist in driving them away?
54246	But do the masses trouble themselves about them?
54246	But do they entertain any such idea?
54246	But how should this zeal be carried out into practice?
54246	But is it so very difficult to be one''s self?
54246	But it will be objected: What can be said in ten or seven minutes?
54246	But it will be urged:"Where is the time to come from?
54246	But of what avail is it to succor the body, if the soul is neglected?
54246	But one is naturally endowed with great ingenuity; what need is there, then, for so much application?
54246	But what are the means which should be employed to bring the people nearer to the Gospel?
54246	But what if it be so, if the discourses are neither listened to nor understood?
54246	But what matters it by whom you are saved, provided that you are saved?
54246	But what would you say if a working- man, doing as you did by her mother, should seduce and dishonor the poor girl?''
54246	But where is the seat of good and evil, and where are both elaborated?
54246	But who is to blame, ourselves or the faithful?
54246	But why should you expect them to understand us?
54246	But why this dread of being derided?
54246	By what means?
54246	Can I any the more blame my mother, or charge her with weakness-- my mother, whose influence over me is so strong?
54246	Can it be that we are ignorant of the French people?
54246	Can it, indeed, be that you are not of so much value as the souls of Chinese?
54246	Command or scold?
54246	Complaints are often made of our congregations; but have they not sometimes cause on their part to complain of their preachers?
54246	Did not Christ come to raise the fallen?
54246	Did not Saint Paul say:"I could wish that myself were accursed from Christ,"for the sake of his erring brethren?
54246	Do I fear exile?
54246	Do I fear the loss of goods?
54246	Do not be surprised, then, if something like the following dialogue should take place:"Well, sir, but who pays you for visiting us?"
54246	Do they acquire a permanent sway over the hearts of men?
54246	Do you ask who will make this principle popular?
54246	Do you hold them under the spell of your words?
54246	Do you know any one to whom the like has not happened?
54246	Do you know what that man resembles who lives without God and without hope?
54246	Do you know where you are?
54246	Do you possess their souls, together with your own?
54246	Do you really mean to throw me out of the window?
54246	Do you think it does not make me uncomfortable to see my wife and children miserable, and to know that I am the cause of their misery?
54246	Endowed with so goodly a portion, what have they to complain of; for is not dominion over mankind achieved thereby?
54246	Even we, with all our education, our science, the superior moral atmosphere which we breathe,--are we always blameless?
54246	For what is unbelief?
54246	For, after all, of what use is it?
54246	For, what do we often take for an orator or preacher?
54246	For, what is a man of genius?
54246	For, what is a priest?
54246	For, what is an apostle?
54246	Has he not, like them, preserved the tradition of his noble origin?
54246	Has it not already thrown blood and scum enough at humanity and religion?
54246	Has not the Press injured us enough already?
54246	Have they not already suffered enough?
54246	Have they not as much reason to murmur against and to upbraid us?
54246	He feedeth on ashes; a deceived heart hath turned him aside, that he can not deliver his soul, nor say, Is there not a lie in my right hand?"
54246	He will reply:--"How can I help it?
54246	Hence all strong admonitions should be tempered with such deprecations as these:--"Brethren, why am I constrained to tell you these stern truths?
54246	How can any one be led into such a delusion?
54246	How comes it that any town dares to be without one?
54246	How comes it that there are not associations of young apprentices in all the towns of France?
54246	How comes it, then, that we are deluded by such fine speeches?
54246	How could you attain it?
54246	How delivered from those endless sermons addressed to unbelievers?
54246	How, indeed, can any prevail against one in whom God is felt to dwell?
54246	How, then, are we to get rid of those preachers who are always taken up with unbelievers?
54246	I pray thee speak?
54246	If it be so, whose fault is it?
54246	If one speaks of a preacher, he is immediately asked:"Has he faith?"
54246	If sermons are not attended, whose fault is it?
54246	Ill- advised that I was, why did I suffer myself to be amused with talking to the serpent?
54246	Is AEschines the host, or the mercenary of Alexander?
54246	Is he capable of understanding you?
54246	Is he not a child of Adam, like the rest of mankind?
54246	Is it all theirs?
54246	Is it not the aim of Christian eloquence to win over the hearts of men, and to dispose them toward that which is good?
54246	Is it so, I ask, that we are called to"vulgarly follow the masses?"
54246	Is it surprising that they have not always yielded to such guidance?
54246	Is it their fault if the pernicious doctrines and scandals of the higher orders have stained the lower classes of society?
54246	Is life a desert wherein I am lost?
54246	Is not a priest''s life essentially a militant life?
54246	Is not long preaching very much like an attempt to surpass these men, who were so highly imbued with the spirit of Christianity?
54246	Is not such an one rather a mere man?
54246	Is not the blessed institution of the_ Propagation of the Faith_ the work of France?
54246	Is not the priest a soldier?
54246	Is not the society of Saint Vincent de Paul likewise the work of France?
54246	Is not the world sufficiently estranged from the Church already?
54246	Is not this to suggest the temptation that they too should become unbelievers, since, by so doing, they would be in so numerous and goodly a company?
54246	Is not, also, the_ Archiconfrérie_ for the return of sinners to the paternal home, the work of France?
54246	Is she not, indeed, the guardian of religion and virtue at the domestic hearth?
54246	Is that saying always realized amongst ourselves?
54246	Is that the most pressing business on hand?
54246	Is there a dearth?
54246	Is there any of you who would employ such an hereditary tailor?
54246	Is there no one to guide me?
54246	Is there stagnation in trade?
54246	It is constantly being repeated that society is unsound; then, should we not overlook some things in those who are ailing?
54246	Just as if a man who proposed to make you a coat should answer the question: Are you a tailor?
54246	Meanwhile, they are miserable; and being miserable are, as it were, doomed already: yet, what have they done to merit this?
54246	Men of Athens, what, then, is your opinion?
54246	Moreover, may there not still be a portion for the pastor, even from among the erring flock?
54246	Must we not become all things to all men?
54246	Must we not take them as they are?
54246	My father, the man whom I am bound to resemble most on earth, can I condemn him?
54246	Not always; and who can tell but that some thought has taken root in their minds which in time will bear fruit?
54246	Now, let me ask, are you aware of the enemies with whom you have to deal, and the difficulties which you have to contend against?
54246	Of what avail, then, is it to spend so many long years in study?
54246	On the other hand, why preach so long?
54246	One feels tempted on these occasions to ask the apologist:--"Are you a Christian?"
54246	Or, let us study the Gospel: do we find there any of these fine airs, this inflated and consequential tone?
54246	Ought we not to become little with the little, that we may save all?
54246	Say, would you inflict such torture upon us?
54246	Say, would you wish that?
54246	Shall I address you in the language of severity?
54246	Shall I fall down to the stock of a tree?
54246	Shall I go to Madame So- and- so?
54246	Shall we continue any longer inactive at the sight of the torrents of vice and error which are hurrying our brothers on to the abyss?
54246	Should we be better than they if we had breathed the same pestiferous atmosphere?
54246	Surely you do not think that God troubles Himself about them; that He counts the number of tapers, or carpets, or chairs?
54246	Surely you heard him?"
54246	Surrounded as they have been with so many passions and prejudices, is it surprising that they are now insensible and mistrustful?
54246	Take away the accent of conviction from a sermon, divest it of energetic faith, and what is left thereof to the hearers?
54246	The rich class are charitable; but are they more so than the popular classes?
54246	Their estimate of them is founded on slander; how, then, can they have confidence in them?
54246	Then, again, might we not talk less about past heresies and errors, and be more taken up with the time present?
54246	Thenceforward, what can you expect him to effect, even among peasants, who have heard that fatal verdict?
54246	These are shortcomings on the part of the congregation, but are they wholly responsible for them?
54246	They are not rich; but what matters that?
54246	They are the only joys vouchsafed to us: and yet can we dare to complain?
54246	They may be rather exacting on that point: it may be a weakness on their part; but what is to be done?
54246	Thus the prophet Isaiah exposes the folly of idolatry in these words:--"Who hath formed a god or a graven image that is profitable for nothing?
54246	Thus, do not say:--"Does the soul die with the body or does it pass to another life?"
54246	To such reply:--"And why not?
54246	To what school have we sent them?
54246	Under its breath, the souls of men should dilate, blossom, as it were, and feel less unhappy; for is not the Gospel glad tidings?
54246	Undoubtedly, they have their faults, their frailties, and their vices; but are we not more blameworthy than they?
54246	Very true; but do the people examine?
54246	Very true; still we are bound to pay attention to the most essential requirements of our vocation: and should not preaching be of the number nowadays?
54246	Was it not proclaimed at the Nativity of Christ:--"I bring you glad tidings of great joy?"
54246	Was it not to that end that he bade adieu to the world and left his father and his mother in tears?
54246	We blame that tendency in others; but are we not somewhat bureaucratic ourselves?
54246	We complain that the faithful do not come to our sermons; have we made any such efforts as these?
54246	We have the philosophy of theology, the philosophy of the sacraments, the philosophy of the liturgy; and to what does it all tend?
54246	Well, when a young man awakens into life, what does he see around him?
54246	Were we not brought up at the same school?
54246	What a goose you are; wo n''t you answer?
54246	What am I to do?
54246	What are they to do in the midst of this conflict of affirmations and negations?
54246	What are we to do in consequence?
54246	What constitutes true Popularity?
54246	What constitutes true Popularity?
54246	What do we wait for?
54246	What do you remember of his sermon?"
54246	What does a good education mean, and of what use is it?
54246	What else can we expect?
54246	What else, indeed, could any do who love you, and also inspire love on your part?
54246	What has become of our great men, who trusted in man, who appealed to reason only, however exalted that reason may have been?
54246	What have we done?
54246	What is the good of it?
54246	What is the object?
54246	What masters have we given them?
54246	What must I become?
54246	What use is there in my listening to it again?"
54246	What would he do?
54246	What, then, am I to do?
54246	What, then, do you understand by being a Christian?
54246	What, then, have we come to?
54246	What, we ask, is a youth of eighteen, with all his besetting passions, to do in the midst of confusion like this?
54246	When the people look above them, do they always find good examples in the higher classes of society?
54246	Whenever you address them from the pulpit, is their attention riveted?
54246	Where are the masses who have clung to their good or evil fortune?
54246	Where is now their ascendency?
54246	Where is, then, the blessedness ye spake of?
54246	Where the devotion which they have kindled?
54246	Where, I should like to know, among other classes, will you hear the admission:--"I am misled; I am in the wrong?"
54246	Whereat Doctrine has come forth under the form of a feeble and decrepit septuagenarian, and has asked:--"''What do you want of me?''
54246	Wherefore?
54246	Who hath done this?''
54246	Who knows but that French wit, by one malicious word, may not upset all at once your elaborate structure of arguments?
54246	Who knows but that some, who have never been accustomed to work, will offer to aid in the building?
54246	Who, indeed, can be bold enough to hate it?
54246	Who, indeed, has not been deluged with compliments?
54246	Why did I not pluck out my eyes rather than look upon that which I was forbidden to know?
54246	Why did I not smite to death this scandalous bosom of mine?
54246	Why did he not speak a little longer?
54246	Why did she allow herself to be enticed?''
54246	Why did we not burn it rather than be tempted to gather its fruit?
54246	Why did we not quit the earthly paradise, and flee to the end of the world to avoid the risk of so tremendous an evil?
54246	Why did we pluck of that tree?
54246	Why do you now wish to borrow a philosophy from Protestant Germany?
54246	Why do you still applaud me, even while I am making a law to prohibit the abuse?
54246	Why should we give ourselves so much trouble on their account?"
54246	Why should we take so much trouble in preparing sermons if they are not to be listened to?
54246	Why, then, are they not better understood?
54246	Why, then, attach so much importance to these matters?
54246	Will you not desist?"
54246	Would that be to have charity?
54246	Would that be to have faith?
54246	Would that be to love God and our neighbor?
54246	Would you do him good?
54246	Would you exert a divine power over them?
54246	Would you make an end of it?
54246	Yes, there has been no pity shown to the people; for has not the present age regarded Christianity as a delusion?
54246	Yet when Christ placed Saint Peter at the head of His Church, he did not put the question to him:--"Canst thou administer well?"
54246	You exclaim:"What has become of my model pastor, my saint?"
54246	You have crushed them, have you?
54246	You who are always talking about fraternity and charity; do you know what was taking place while you were beating your wife?
54246	You will aid me, will you not?
54246	You will often encounter obstacles, and even opprobrium; but what then?
54246	art them become like unto us?
54246	because I love you not?
54246	but,"Lovest thou Me?
54246	do their countenances beam, do their eyes glisten, or are they moistened with tears?
54246	do we not belong to the same family as those excellent and self- denying men who leave country and home to seek and to save souls beyond the ocean?
54246	does your light and disdainful tongue find a lesser mystery in all these consequences which necessarily result from your principles?
54246	how little art thou understood?
54246	how to devote thyself, how to die for their sakes?
54246	if the soul, the most sensitive and suffering part of mankind, is abandoned to endless misery?
54246	is it that all your struggles and trials are merely a foretaste of eternal misery?
54246	lovest thou Me?
54246	should coolly reply:--"Stop, there will be opposition; the enemy will resist and assail us with musketry and artillery?"
54246	what are you about?
54246	what do I hear and see?
54246	what do I hear and see?
54246	what have we to do with peace?
54246	what may not this people be led to believe?
54246	what topic is he going to discuss?"
54246	when shall we be brought to understand that the people do not reflect, that they look, listen, and then go forward?
54246	wherefore hast Thou placed me in the midst of such contradictions?
54246	which means: Does he appear to believe what he says?
54246	why are we so much startled and horrified when we hear such profanities?
54246	why did I not cut out my tongue when preachers told me that my oaths would damn me?
54246	would you subdue your passions, calm your impetuosity, be Christians, be virtuous?"
54246	you persist in maintaining that in seducing the woman at your side eighteen years ago you did nothing wrong?''
54246	{ 163} Hence a great part of our time is taken up with talking philosophy to pious men and women,--and after what fashion?
54246	{ 179}''My beloved Abel, why speakest thou not?
54246	{ 246} This speech has been eulogized as grand, bold, and even audacious; but, what does it amount to?
54246	{ 52}"Why, my friend?"
54246	{ 60} If so, they must be created forthwith; otherwise, what are we good for?
54246	{ 61} He has, moreover his grain of vanity; why should he not?
54246	{ 78} Does he always know the drift of his words?
54246	{ 80} But, further, would you acquire an unlimited sway over the people?
54246	{ 84} But, what are you doing here?"
54246	{ 98} Even in prosperity, do they secure attachment?
