17002Are such things right?
17002Are these ecclesiastical bodies respectively Indian, Chinese, and African in their character?
17002Are these the doctrines or policy of the Dutch Church?
17002Are they, then, two- thirds of an integral part in America, and one- third of an integral part in England?
17002Besides this, how shall we know which of them were converted through our instrumentality?
17002But are these things so?
17002But has it been more successful than the Mission at Amoy?
17002But how and where has this test been applied, and found so satisfactory?
17002But how, on this plan, can he possibly obtain them?
17002But the point is, how can our disapproval of_ the mongrel Classis_ mar the peace of the Amoy brethren?"
17002But will the plan of Synod give us any greater security for these things?
17002But will they do it?
17002Can it be that a policy which requires_ such constitutional changes_ can be the old and proper policy of our Church?
17002Can the Board try them?
17002Can they be designed to prejudice the Church at home against the ecclesiastical body which has grown up at Amoy?
17002Can this be secured?
17002Can you account for such things except by the energy of the Spirit of God?
17002Can you not do the same now?
17002Cannot-- ought not-- the Church change her policy if wrong, or if a better can be adopted?
17002Do not different Denominations exhibit jealous rivalry in this land?
17002Do you wish a similar result in China?
17002Does that mean that we had no qualms of conscience about''submitting to the decision that had been reached?''
17002General Synod?
17002Has it been tested in China?
17002Has it been tested in Japan?
17002Hence the question has been put to us with all sincerity and gravity,"Is it a_ Classis_, or is it a_ Presbytery_?"
17002How can they be secured?
17002How should we designate such an act?
17002I ask, is it possible for him thus to obtain justice?
17002I have been asked, Why not bring this subject before the Church through the columns of the_ Christian Intelligencer_?
17002In expecting to obtain this union, will it be said, that we are looking for a chimera?
17002Is Chinese human nature different from American?
17002Is every thing then to be regarded as_ unsettled_ and_ changeable_ but this policy of the Church?
17002Is it because they were baptized by our Missionaries?
17002Is it because they were converted through the instrumentality of the preaching of our Missionaries?
17002Is it necessary to defend such acts?
17002Is it not plain that the Church at home will not thus have a moiety of the control over her Missionaries she now has?
17002Is it right to impose a yoke like this on that little Church which God is gathering by your instrumentality in that far- off land of China?
17002Is it well that we should be disputing among ourselves concerning who shall have that credit which all belongs to Christ?
17002Is the Classis, in evangelizing the heathen around, to operate through the Board, or the Board through the Classis?
17002Is the Dutch Church a hierarchy?
17002Is the Mission, then, to attend to all the evangelistic work, and the Classis to do nothing?
17002Is the waste of time, of a year or more, nothing?
17002Is this right?
17002Is this the way to keep the Church at Amoy sound and pure?
17002Is this, indeed, as the Committee assert, one of the"admitted principles"of our Church?
17002It ought to be so, ought it not?
17002May the Board of Missions, on mere report or suspicion, recall them without giving them a proper trial?
17002May we not refer, without being charged with disrespect, to the Synod of Jerusalem as a proper example for our General Synod?
17002May we not,_ must_ we not, correct them?
17002No?
17002On the plan proposed, what can the Church do with them?
17002Or are there to be two distinct evangelistic policies carried on at Amoy, the one by the Mission, and the other by the Classis?
17002Or is the Classis first to come over to the Synod, and so get to the Board in order to carry on the work around?
17002Peter says,"Why tempt ye God to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither we nor our fathers were able to bear?"
17002Possibly( not probably) the question will be asked, why were these churches allowed originally to become one?
17002The church grew, and in due time a Consistory was called for; must the work stop, because the Constitution had made no provision?
17002The important question now is, what will be the result of this decision on the Church at Amoy?
17002Then why form the connection?
17002They might by the act of our Church, and_ a correlative act on their own part_, become an integral part of the Church in America?
17002They would have been strictly correct if they had run as follows:"These Churches are_ all_( why say,''_ three at least_''?)
17002We might have acted on such principles, but shall we be_ censured_ for not doing it?
17002We must obey Synod, but may not the Church change or improve her decisions?
17002What made them so?
17002What then?
17002What will be the difficulties when it becomes an_ Indian_ Classis?
17002Who is the Lord of conscience?
17002Why forget or ignore the fact that they are_ Evangelists_ and_ not Pastors_?
17002Why is not the Dutch Church the principal Presbyterian body in this land?
17002Why must we deprive the native Christians of the benefit of the collective wisdom of all the churches of like doctrine and order among them?
17002Why not so?
17002Why not?
17002Why object to an ecclesiastical relationship exactly corresponding to, and required by, their office and position?
17002Why strive to entail like evils on our Missionary churches?
17002Why, then, such questions and suggestions?
17002Will any one assert that the Classis thus formed at Amoy is not a Classis_ de facto_?
17002Will it be said, there is no danger of such difficulty?
17002Will it not seem to them that our Church is deficient in liberality, when they learn the decision of the last Synod?
17002Would such a reflection have been cast on any other body of ministers in our Church?
17002_ They conceived it to be their duty!_ Was it?
17002and where shall the thousands of dollars of necessary expense come from?
17002one of the"convictions in the mind of our Church, hardly separable in idea from its very existence?"
17002one of the"old truths maintained through blood and flame?"
17002or are they all_ essentially American_?
17002or that they were in any sense under the control of those bodies?
23096And you believe in God, do you?
23096But_ when_?
23096By whose authority?

23096Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
23096Then one of the twelve called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, and said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? 23096 What can I do for you, dear?"

23096Why must I have this trial or pain or trouble?
23096( Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
23096After all, it is not so much a question of the knowledge of the day, or the hour, or the month of one''s conversion as"Do we now know Christ?"
23096And so for those of us whose lives have been such a struggle we cry,"Is there no deliverance?"
23096And then the question came to him as from God,"What do you believe?"
23096And they said, What is that to us?
23096Are there not hundreds and thousands of other men waiting, as the chief justice waited, for some one to speak or write?
23096As has been indicated, the text proves that we may choose life if we will, but I have more especially in mind the question,"Why should we do it?"
23096At the day of Pentecost people were saying,"What do these things mean?"
23096But how about the sins of the past?
23096But on the other hand, what if we should simply be faithful?
23096But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
23096But"Is there no deliverance that is complete?"

23096Do you reject hell, because it seems to you to be inconceivable?

23096Does your life parallel God''s law or cross it?
23096Finally they met, and the infidel with a sneer said,"So you believe the Bible, do you?"
23096For the angel had said,"The Lord is with thee, Gideon,"and Gideon had said,"If the Lord is with us, then how can these things be?"
23096For this day we hope and pray and cry aloud,"O Lord, how long, how long?"
23096For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?
23096God seemed to say to him,"Have you ever taken that stand where you would say,''I am committed to the right even if it ends in death''?"
23096Has he not said,"Ye shall receive power"?
23096Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?"
23096Have we failed to take both?
23096Have you ever seen a perfect rainbow-- that is, a rainbow in a perfect circle?
23096Have you ever stopped to think what is really associated with the full acceptance of the third Person of the Trinity?
23096He granted Saul of Tarsus a vision of himself as he approached Damascus until he cried,"Who art thou?"
23096He then lying on Jesus''breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?

23096How wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
23096I The natural question that comes to every student of the life of Judas must be,"Why was he chosen?"
23096I What is conversion?
23096I What is the striving of the Spirit?
23096I ask you the question, Do you believe in heaven as a place of rewards?
23096I doubt not the question has often come to us,"How can God be just and be the justifier of them that believe?"
23096I found myself becoming unscrupulous in my business life and now I am wrecked, certainly for time-- oh,"said he,"can it be for eternity?
23096I looked the other day into the face of a man who said to me,"Do you know me?"
23096II Have you really taken all that God meant you should have?
23096II How may I be converted?
23096II Why are we not having revelations to- day as we know they have been given at other times?
23096III Did you ever realize that you were standing in the way of the conversion of your friends?

23096III What would be the consequences of the Spirit ceasing his work?
23096IV How may we know that we have passed from death into life?
23096IV Why should he cease his striving?

23096If this is true then what is consecration?

23096Is it not like this with our sins?
23096Is not this written in the book of Jasher?
23096Is such a deliverance as this from individual sins possible?
23096It is indeed a black picture, and with whitened faces and rapidly beating hearts we ask, Is there any hope?
23096It is not giving God something, for how could we give him that which is already his own?
23096It is true that we shall go on from light into darkness, from morning into the night, but is there no final deliverance?
23096It may be that some will say,"Why insist upon conversion when my life is a moral one?"
23096Just what is the burden of this prayer of Paul''s?

15693Where has the money for this great enterprise been expended?
15693Who did you say this was?
15693Will you accept a copy of my books?
15693Wo n''t you come and see my play to- night?
15693''What is it, John?''
15693''Why were you taken?

15693A gentleman wrote me this way for advice about his social burden:"What shall I do?
15693A minister should have a conference with his people before he preaches, otherwise how can he tell what medicine to give them?
15693And I went into the chapel of the great town, and I said:''Where do the poor worship, and where are the benches on which they sit?''
15693And the question is already absorbing my entire nature,''What can I do to repay Brooklyn for this great uprising?''
15693And when told it came from America, they would say:"What part of America?
15693Are n''t they honourable men?''
15693Are you here?
15693Are you treated well?
15693As I stepped on to the platform, I said,"Where is Governor Hendricks?"
15693Because he was a great poet who had died?
15693Because he was so able an editor?
15693Because he was so very old?
15693Brown?"
15693But how could I recover it, and in so short a time?
15693But where had it gone?
15693But who would have been the Christ?
15693Ca n''t you read a book you do n''t exactly believe, and not be affected by it?"
15693Call the roll of Abraham Lincoln''s Cabinet?
15693Call the roll of Jefferson''s Cabinet?
15693Call the roll of Madison''s Cabinet?
15693Call the roll of Monroe''s Cabinet?
15693Call the roll of Pierce''s Cabinet?
15693Can anyone imagine the difference of my appreciation of Dr. Hardman and Dr. Scott?
15693Can we compress the ocean into a dewdrop?
15693Can you arrange it?
15693Can you lend me a shilling?
15693Could there be anything more savage?
15693Did we not at one time have a Secretary of the United States carried home dead drunk?
15693Did we not have a Vice- President sworn in so intoxicated the whole land hid its head in shame?
15693Do I approve of the Passion Play at Ober- Ammergau?
15693Dr. Richards, of Morristown, New Jersey, when a child was handed to him for baptism, and the names given,"Had n''t you better call it something else?"
15693Have n''t you a fair chance?
15693Have you, in America, any of the terrible agnosticism that we have in Europe?
15693He arrived in time, and preached a glowing and rousing sermon on the text,"Have ye received the Holy Ghost?"
15693He came to my father''s house one day, and while we were all seated in the room, he said:"Mr. Talmage, are all your children Christians?"
15693He has a hearty''How are you to- day?''
15693He said,"DeWitt, would you like to read that book?"
15693He turned around to me, a boy of seven years, and said,"DeWitt, what are you crying about?
15693He was a man that people in the streets stopped to look at, and strangers would say as he passed,"I wonder who that man is?"
15693He was in the newspapers-- and the children?
15693Here, fellows, have you heard the news?
15693His anxious wife inquired,''What is it so funny, John?''
15693How can she get him back?
15693How do you account for the fact that your son is such a dissipated fellow?"
15693How shall he get his people back?
15693How to set the idea of a World''s Fair agoing?
15693I discovered, in a long conversation that I had with him, that he was ready to die, and when a man is ready why should he be afraid?
15693I greeted him amid the marble walls of the Senate with the words"Did n''t I tell you so?"
15693I once said to my father,"Are people so much worse now than they used to- be?"
15693I said to a very wealthy man, who employed thousands of men in his establishments in different cities:"Have you had many strikes?"
15693I said to him as I looked up into his face:"How tall are you?"
15693I said to him:''Have you any one in mind whom you would like to talk to?''
15693I said to the driver,"Do you know Mr. Ruskin when you see him?"
15693I said:"Mr. Bryant, will you read for us''Thanatopsis''?"
15693I stretched myself out upon the seats for a sound sleep, saying,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?
15693I then called to a gentleman in the orchestra whom I knew could sing well:"Thompson, ca n''t you sing better than that?"
15693I wonder what they saw going on in the courtyard?
15693If 49 would marry 22, if summer is fascinated with spring, whose business is it but their own?
15693If a sculptor can mould a handsome form out of clay, what can he not put out of Parian marble?
15693If we had not been our own rulers, but had been ruled-- what would America have been then?
15693Lord?"
15693Merciful Father, have I not suffered enough?''
15693My family accompanied me to the railroad train, and my thought was should we ever meet again?
15693My father and mother have a comfortable tent, and I have a good tent; why should I take the money?
15693My informant heard them say to him,"Well, how was it?"
15693My wife met me with anxious countenance, and said,"How did you get hurt, and what is the matter?"
15693One of our party asked for his autograph; he cheerfully gave it, asking,"Is that all I can do for you?"
15693Paris is France, London is England, why not New York the United States?
15693President,''I said,''I do not want to pry into State secrets, but I would like to know how many ducks you did shoot?''
15693Some of them would come staggering back and say:--"Please tell us who sent this bread to us?"
15693The question was asked softly, sometimes very softly, in regard to a bill:"Is there any money in it?"
15693This insured a cordial greeting for the Doctor, but how was he to make himself understood?
15693To whom did all this money belong?
15693Turning to the Doctor, she said, almost tearfully:"Why, Doctor Talmage, how can they refuse you?"
15693Under right administration who could tell what our beloved city is to be?
15693Was there in all time or eternity past, or will there be in all time or eternity to come, such a scene of self- abnegation?
15693We drove five miles through the park before reaching the gates of Chatsworth-- shall I call it house or castle?
15693We used to say:"Mother, where are you going?"
15693What can I do for you?''
15693What can I do that I have not done, so that I can see clearly?"
15693What fired the long line of cars that made night hideous?
15693What forced three rail trains from the tracks and shot down engineers with their hands on the valves?
15693What if he did say"Gentlemen, I am a very poor man, but tell your King he is not rich enough to buy me"?
15693What is the value of that?"
15693What lifted the wild howl in Chicago?
15693What made all the land and all the world feel so badly when William Cullen Bryant was laid down at Roslyn?
15693What mean those graves on the heights of Fredericksburg?
15693What shall I do?"
15693What shall I do?"
15693What was it that defeated the armies sometimes in the late war?
15693What was the matter in Pittsburg that summer?
15693When my father lay dying the old country minister said to him,"Mr. Talmage, how do you feel now as you are about to pass the Jordan of death?"
15693Who can estimate the power which emanated from the pulpits of Dr. McElroy, or Dr. DeWitt, or Dr. Spring, or Dr. Krebs?
15693Who can hear the metallic voice of that Caiaphas without thinking of some church court that condemned a man better than themselves?
15693Who does control his temper, always?
15693Who shall estimate the value of such a pedigree?
15693Who will ever forget that woman''s cry, or the face from which suffering has dried the last tear?
15693Whoever did escape it?
15693Why not cross the line this hour, out of the world into the kingdom of God?
15693Why not in the college?
15693Why should anyone want to kill him?
15693Why should anyone want to kill him?
15693Why should anyone want to kill him?
15693Why should they want to flaunt any of its shreds?
15693Why should we neglect to pay in full the price of our four years''unrighteousness?
15693Why, coming toward that city, were we obliged to dismount from the cars and take carriages through the back streets?
15693Why, when one night the Michigan Central train left Chicago, were there but three passengers on board a train of eight cars?
15693Will it not be glorious to meet again in our Father''s house, where the word goodbye shall never be spoken?
15693Will you omit the wines at that dinner?"
15693Will you write me an order for his release?"
15693Wo n''t you please do this for me?"
15693Would Dr. Talmage come round and talk to her?
15693Would I see it acted again?
15693Would it be right and honourable for me to leave?
15693Young men write for advice: One with the commercial instinct strongly developed, wants to know if the ministry pays?
15693all this for one year?"
15693he asks; and for sight for"the eye, the window of our immortal nature, the gate through which all colours march, the picture gallery of the soul?"
15251Did I tell you of the boy I was asked to see on Sabbath evening, just when I got myself comfortably seated at home? 15251 I am often tempted to say, How can this Man save us?
15251Is it possible, think you, for a person to be conceited of his miseries? 15251 Paul asked,"says he,"''What wilt Thou have me_ to do_?''
15251Surely-- what do we live for?
15251What would my people do if I were not to pray?
15251Why,he noted in his journal,"Why has God brought these cases before me_ this week_?
15251Will you set agoing your Wednesday meeting again, immediately? 15251 Will you stand by and see sinners grasping under the pangs of death, and say, God doth not require me to make myself a drudge to save them?
15251Ye have seen the right hand of the Lord plucked out of his bosom? 15251 ''Are there not twelve hours in the day?'' 15251 ''Can these dry bones live? 15251 ''Oh wretched man than I am, who shall deliver me from this body of sin and death?'' 15251 ''Shall I not drink it?'' 15251 ''What will it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?'' 15251 ''Where are the princes of Zoan?'' 15251 ''Where are the wise?'' 15251 1:16, 17, many ministers, as they came out, were heard saying,How was it we never thought of the duty of remembering Israel before?"
1525121._--Am I as willing as ever to preach to the lost heathen?"
15251A.K., has the light visited her?
15251Am I wholly deceiving my own heart?
15251And did I pray as fervently as I spoke?
15251And is it not worth the prayers and self- denying efforts of every believing man?
15251And ought it not to be so with all of us?
15251And yet, what hinders?
15251Are there not( as he who has left us used to hope)"better ministers in store for Scotland than any that have yet arisen?"
15251Are we not all immortal till our work is done?"
15251Are we the bottle- stoppers of these heavenly dews?
15251Are you_ an assured believer_?
15251Asked me,''What is it to believe?''
15251Awfully important question, Am I redeeming the time?"
15251But are you_ unassured_--nay,_ wholly unassured_?
15251But how shall we that are dead to sin live any longer therein?"
15251But is it not a moment which may remind us that the God who sent Elijah to the brook at Cherith is the same God still?
15251But perhaps my old sins are too fearful, and my unbelief too glaring?
15251But was there no grace?
15251But what is classic learning to us now?
15251But what is the voice to us?
15251But who may tell Of the place of woe, Where the wicked dwell, Where the worldlings go?
15251But would the forgiveness of sins not make you more happy than you are?
15251Could this soul have learned salvation from me every time I saw him?
15251Do I not only see it to be the Bible way of salvation, but does it cordially approve itself to my heart as delightful?
15251Do such objectors suppose that God ever intends the honor of man in a work of Revival?
15251Do you remember David?
15251Does my heart really close with the offer of salvation by Jesus?
15251Has this been sent as the stroke of wrath, or the rebuke of love?
15251He gave out not merely living water, but living water drawn at the springs that he had himself drank of; and is not this a true gospel ministry?
15251He had simply pointed to the fire of the furnace, and said,"What does that remind you of?"
15251He hates sin, and I hate it; why did He not take it clean away?''
15251He says, Why should you not enjoy this pleasure as much as Solomon or David?
15251Hence when one asked him, If he was never afraid of running short of sermons some day?
15251Her sister was awakened under Mr. Baxter''s words in St. Peter''s, of whom he asked,''Would you like to be holy?''
15251How can Christ in heaven deliver me from lusts which I feel raging in me, and nets I feel enclosing me?
15251How can this be with those chosen for the mighty office?
15251How dwelleth the love of God in me?
15251How many, O Lord, may they be?
15251I do hope we shall go forth in the Spirit; and though straitened in language, may we not be blessed, as Brainerd was, through an interpreter?
15251I feel it a very powerful argument with many:''Will you be left dry when others are getting drops of heavenly dew?''
15251I know well that there are prayers constantly ascending for you from your own house; and will you not pray for them back again?
15251I say,''Why did God leave the root of lasciviousness, pride, anger, etc., in my bosom?
15251If God see meet to put me into the ministry, who shall keep me back?
15251If I be not meet, why should I be thrust forward?
15251Is any one truly the Lord''s messenger who is not quite willing to go when and where the Lord calls?
15251Is it a frown on our undertaking?
15251Is it justifiable in any to put aside a call from the north, on the ground that he_ wishes_ one from the south?
15251Is it my choice to be saved in the way which gives Him all the praise, and me none?
15251Is it not the honor of his own name that He seeks?
15251Is it simply for the love I bear to souls?
15251Is it the desire of my heart to be made altogether holy?
15251Is not that day set apart as a season wherein the Lord desires the refreshing rest of his own love to be offered to a fallen world?
15251Is not the conversion of a soul more worthy to be spoken of than the taking of Acre?"
15251Is not the true idea of preaching that of one, like Ahimaaz, coming with all- important tidings, and intent on making these tidings known?
15251Is sin a grief to me, the sudden risings and overcomings thereof especially?
15251Is the sin ours?
15251Is there any sin I wish to retain?
15251Is this the perfection of beauty?
15251It may be naturally asked, What led him to wish to preach salvation to his fellow- sinners?
15251Little changed, did I say?
15251Lord, canst Thou bless partial, unequal efforts?"
15251May we not be blessed also to save some English, and to stir up missionaries?
15251Ministers of Christ, does not the Lord call upon us especially?
15251Must not the disease be dangerous, when a tender- hearted surgeon cuts deep into the flesh?
15251Must there not be somewhat of this missionary tendency in all true ministers?
15251Now, do you think it would not give you more happiness to be forgiven,--to be able to put on Jesus, and say,''God''s anger is turned away?''
15251Often, however, did the faithful pastor mingle his tears with those of his younger fellow- soldier, complaining,"Lord, who hath believed our report?"
15251Often, too, did he say to me, when thus stretched on the ground,--not impatiently, but very earnestly,--"Shall I ever preach to my people again?"
15251Oh, why should I not weep, as Jesus did over Jerusalem?
15251On hearing this awful test, he asked,"Were you able to preach it_ with tenderness_?"
15251Quare?
15251Shall I call the liveliness of this day a gale of the Spirit, or was all natural?
15251She said,''But am I in Christ?''
15251Should I be less careful in washing my soul?
15251Should it not be to all ministers a time for solemn inquiry?
15251Should not we love the spots where our great Captain has won his amazing victories?
15251Should we not mourn as for an only child?
15251Should we not study prayer more?"
15251Some of you will ask,''Is there no_ appropriating_ of Christ?
15251The cities are changed,--where are they?
15251The hand of man had been actively employed upon every mountain, but where were these laborers now?
15251Then, why do I not show it more where I am?
15251They knew him not-- They could not know; And even though, Why should they shed Above the dead Who slumbers here A single tear?
15251This deepens and solemnizes all, and makes you go away, saying,''How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?''"
15251Tuesday the 5th being the anniversary of his licence to preach the gospel, he writes:"Eventful week; one year I have preached_ Jesus_, have I?
15251Was I faithful with this soul?
15251What can I desire more?
15251What did this mean?
15251What if we should see the heavenly Jerusalem before the earthly?
15251What plant can be unwatered and not wither?"
15251What right have I to steal and abuse my Master''s time?
15251What shall the unsaved among you do in the day of the Lord''s anger?"
15251What should I fear?
15251What though to fashion''s garish eye they seem Untutored and ungainly?
15251When shall this self- choosing temper be healed?
15251When the question was put to him,"Is it our duty to refuse ordination to any one who holds the views of Erastianism?"
15251When the tears that we shed were the tears of our joy, And the pleasures of home were unmixed with alloy?
15251Who can tell what wars go on within?
15251Who is there of us that should ever feel otherwise?
15251Who is there that does not see the deep design of Satan in seeking to effect an inroad on this most merciful appointment of God our Saviour?
15251Who will be the first victim here?
15251Who would not rise early to meet such company?
15251Why dost Thou behold our sadness?
15251Why is He restrained?
15251Why is a missionary life so often an object of my thoughts?
15251Why should I give hours and days any longer to the vain world, when there is such a world of misery at my very door?
15251Why should not selfishness be buried beneath the Atlantic in matters so sacred?"
15251Why would I so much rather go to the East than to the West Indies?
15251Why?
15251Will God never cast the scenes of our labor near each other?
15251Will the Sun of Righteousness ever rise upon it, making its hills and valleys bright with the light of the knowledge of Jesus?"
15251Would not you be happier at work, and happier in the house, and happier in your bed?
15251Would this make you less happy, do you think?
15251Would you be ready to give your Jewish lecture on the evening of Sabbath week?...
15251Yet why should I doubt?
15251Yet why should we murmur, short- sighted and vain, Since death to that loved one was undying gain?
15251_ Neff_ died in his thirty- first year; when shall I?
15251and have I not a spark of true missionary zeal?
15251and that the wise, considerate, loving Master, who said,"Come into a desert place and rest awhile,"is as loving, considerate, and wise as He was then?
15251asked him if He would be his Saviour?
15251evangelists?
15251fellow- workers with God?
15251heralds of His Son?
15251men set apart to the work, chosen out of the chosen, as it were the very pick of the flocks, who are to shine as the stars forever and ever?
15251my soul, where shall thou appear?
15251no touching the hem of his garment?''
15251no_ putting out the hand of faith_?
15251or can it really be a movement of his kind, guiding hand?
15251or myself?
15251shall we grieve that he left this poor scene, To dwell in the realms that are ever serene?
15251when shall we have them here?
15251where from the winds Shall the vessel fly?
15251where is the harp that was strung to thy praise, So oft and so sweetly in happier days?
15251why am I such a stranger to the poor of my native town?
15251why not always this?
9171Why hast thou called in question the fact that Philemon was a slave- holder? 9171 Why hast thou said, that I did not send Onesimus back_ by authority?_ I did send him back by authority,--yea, by authority of the Lord Jesus Christ?
9171Why hast thou said, that I did not send Onesimus back_ by authority?_ I did send him back by authority,--yea, by authority of the Lord Jesus Christ? 9171 Why not, John?"
9171Why, then, hast thou not understood my speech? 9171 Woman, hast thou ears?
91711- 5) I do say, to rebuke all abolitionists?
917115, 16?)
9171A. Blackburn What Is the Foundation of Moral Obligation?
9171Again, whether these evils can or can not be modified and removed?
9171Ah, has she not been sold and bought for money?
9171And was it not Christ''s law to him to return and submit himself under his master''s hand?
9171And what is this but the attempt to know the divine attributes and character in_ some other way_ than through the divine WORD?
9171And what is this but to make the WILL_ of God_ give place to the WILL_ of man?_ And what is this but the REJECTION OF REVELATION?
9171And what is this but to make the WILL_ of God_ give place to the WILL_ of man?_ And what is this but the REJECTION OF REVELATION?
9171Are its days numbered?
9171Are some men, then,"_ created_"natural fools?
9171Are they not"_ created_"just above the brute, with savage natures along with mental imbecility and physical degradation?
9171Be divorced?
9171But how does this fact prove that the Bible does not sanction slavery?
9171But to proceed:-- Do you say the slave is_ sold and bought?_ So is the wife the world over.
9171But what if God in his word says,"Both thy bondmen and thy bondmaids which thou shalt have shall be of the heathen that are round about you"?
9171But why?
9171But, if it did remain, does God command the master to send his Christianized slave into the horrors of his former African heathenism?
9171But-- But what?
9171Can all this be?
9171Can the slave- holder, then, throw off wrong so long as he holds the slave at any time or anywhere thereafter?"
9171Can this double emigration civilize Africa and more than re- people the South?
9171Carry it out, and what is the progress and the end of it?
9171Did Abraham have his slave- household circumcised?
9171Did God merely permit sin?--did he merely tolerate a dreadful evil?
9171Did they capture them in war?--did they sell their own children?
9171Do I then teach that man should not seek the_ proof_ there is, of the perfection and attributes of God, in_ nature and providence_?
9171Do they prove that"all men are created equal"?
9171Do you admit_ their inferiority by_"CREATION?"
9171Do you ask how?
9171Do you ask if I then hold, that God ordains the Russian type of rule to be perpetual over that people?
9171Do you reply that I have taken an extreme case?
9171Do you say, The slave is held to_ involuntary service?_ So is the wife.
9171Do you tell me that Abraham, by divine authority, made these servants part of his family, social and religious?
9171Do you, sir, or anybody, contend that the Southern master seized his slave in Africa, and forcibly brought him away to America, contrary to law?
9171Do, then, the facts in man''s natural history exhibit this departure from the laws of life and spirit?
9171Does God require him to send the negro back to his heathen home from whence he was stolen?
9171Does he give him authority to claim a created equality and unalienable right to be on a level with the white man in civil and social relations?
9171Does he tell him to ask to be sent back to heathen Africa?
9171For what does God say?
9171For what is revelation?
9171Had not Peter written,''Servants, be subject to your masters with all fear; not only to the good and gentle, but also to the froward''?
9171Has God, then, established the relations of husband and wife, parent and child, master and slave?
9171Has he found the EXHIBITION of_ infinite power?_ No.
9171Has it been even because thou couldst not_ hear_ my word?
9171Have you a request from the South that you send a committee to inquire into slanders?
9171Have you a_ prosecutor_, with his definite charge and witnesses?
9171Have you_ Common Fame_, with her specified charges and witnesses?
9171How?
9171I ask again, Have the Russian serfs and nobles,--yea, all,--"consenting,"the right, from God, to make that change?
9171I ask now,_ was Abraham a man- stealer?_ Oh, no, you reiterate: but the Southern master is.
9171I then asked,"How many may he hold, in humanity?"
9171In plainer words:--Did God command the Hebrews to make slaves of their fellow- men, to buy them and sell them, to regard them as their money?
9171Is it self- love?
9171Is it selfishness?
9171Lastly, whether slavery itself can or can not pass away from this land and the world?
9171May I thus give the mildest rebuke to your inconsistency of conduct?
9171Must the Napoleons govern the Cretins without their"consent"?
9171Need I extend these questions?
9171Now comes the question, OUGHT he then to_ expect_ or_ desire_ liberty and equality?
9171Now, I ask, Has the emperor_ right_, from God, to change at once, in his mere"_ consent_,"the_ form_ of his government to_ that_ of the United States?

9171The great question of the world is, WHAT IS TO BE THE FUTURE OF THE AMERICAN SLAVE?--WHAT IS TO BE THE FUTURE OF THE AMERICAN MASTER?
9171Then, did the Hebrews sin when they obeyed God''s command?
9171This passage of Scripture settles the question, From whence has government RIGHT to rule, and what is the_ extent_ of its power?
9171WHAT is RIGHT AND WRONG?
9171Was it not then of my responsibility to send him again to Philemon?
9171Was it wrong in the nature of things?
9171We reach the same conclusion by asking, What does God say to the negro- slave?
9171Well, how did the heathen, then, get slaves to sell?
9171Well, sir, what does your Boston Dr. Nehemiah Adams say?
9171What Is the Foundation of Moral Obligation?

9171What, then, is it to kidnap or steal a man?
9171What, then, is our gain?
9171When women despise the Bible, what next?
9171When would the war end?
9171Where can they go?
9171Wherefore is this?
9171Who would be the grateful?
9171Who would be the humble, the meek?
9171Who would be the victors where all are giants?
9171Who would seek or need forbearance, compassion, self- denying benevolence?
9171Who would sue for peace where none will submit?
9171Why do you buy?
9171Why hast thou imagined such license to iniquity?
9171Why hast thou in all this changed my Golden Rule?
9171Why hast thou made void my law, by making me say,''All that thou_ expectest_ or_ desirest_ of others, in similar circumstances, do to them''?
9171Why hast thou tortured that plain truth?
9171Why?
9171Why?
9171Why?
9171Why?
9171Why?
9171Will you give dollar for dollar to equalize our loss?
9171Will you give me back$ 10,000?
9171Will you now come to our help?
9171Will you run away, with your stick and your bundle?
9171Will you say that you are free,--that you will go where you please, do as you please?
9171Will you then ostracize the South and compel the abolition of slavery?
9171Will you, then, tell New England, and especially little Rhoda, We have purified our skirts from the blood: forgive us, and take us again to your love?
9171Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power?
9171Wisner_.--Does the brother propose to go into it here?
9171Yes, yes?
9171Your tract, just published, is, I suppose, intended by you to prepare the next General Assembly for such movement?
9171_ Is the Southern Master a Man- Stealer_?
9171_ Was Abraham a Man- Stealer?_ Sir, what is the common sense of these Scriptures?
9171_ Was Abraham a Man- Stealer?_ Sir, what is the common sense of these Scriptures?
9171_ Was the Israelite Master a Man- Stealer?_ I now ask, Did God intend to make man- stealing and slave- holding the same thing?
9171_ Was the Israelite Master a Man- Stealer?_ I now ask, Did God intend to make man- stealing and slave- holding the same thing?
9171_ What is sin_, as a mental state?
9171and what is his obligation?
9171and, in thousands of illustrious instances, be willing to give life, and, in fact, die, to serve or save them?
9171caress them-- how tenderly!--boys and girls?
9171honor them, grown up, as superior beings?
9171that everybody admits sensible people must govern natural fools?
9171what''s that?"
9171why do n''t ye throw the cotton in the sea, as your fathers did the tea?
9171why hast thou not understood my speech to Hagar?
13204He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? 13204 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?"
13204If these things are done in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
13204If weakness may excuse, What murderer, what traitor, parricide, Incestuous, sacrilegious, may not plead it? 13204 Is the law sin?"
13204Tell me,says St. Paul,"ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
13204Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking of the law, dishonorest thou God?
13204Thou that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? 13204 Who can hold a fire in his hand, By thinking on the frosty Caucasus?
13204[ 1] But can we suppose that such a sincere, such a truthful and such a holy Being as the Son of God would stoop to any such artifice as this? 13204 [ 3] But, is the sense of duty_ beautiful_ to apostate man?
13204_ How_ shall I believe?
1320420.--"The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?"
1320420.--"The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?"
1320421--23.--"Thou therefore which, teachest another, teachest Thou not thyself?
1320428, 29.--"Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
13204Again, does the law search me, and probe me, and elicit me, and reveal me, until I would shrink out of the sight of God and of myself?
13204Again, is a man conscious of the corruption of his heart?
13204Am I not completely baffled, the moment I attempt to construct the consciousness of the unearthly state?
13204And is there any injustice in this?
13204And now we ask, if this state of things ought to last forever?
13204And now we ask: Can the law generate all this excellence within the human soul?
13204And now what is the effect of this combination of command and threatening upon the agent?
13204And think you that God will not grant a request which He himself has inspired?
13204And upon_ such_ terms, can not the criminal well afford to examine into his crime?
13204And where are the results?
13204And why should it?
13204Are they deluded in respect to the doctrine of human depravity, and are you in the right?
13204Are we, then, sinners, and in fear for the final result of our life?
13204Are you prepared for the impending and inevitable disclosures and revelations of the day of judgment?
13204As the deteriorating process advances, does not the guilt diminish?
13204But are we at ease and self- contented?
13204But he who will not even look at his sin,--what does not he deserve from that Being who poured out His own blood for it?
13204But is the Bible untrue, because the man is ignorant?
13204But is this so?
13204But the real penitent rebuked him, saying:"Dost thou not fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
13204But what do I know of the surroundings and experience of a man who has travelled from time into eternity?
13204But what does all this reasoning and querying imply?
13204But what is the lesson which we are to read by this clear and solemn light?
13204But what is this compared with the suffering soul?
13204But when he put the other question to himself: Will the Deity_ pardon_ me for my transgression?
13204But where is the man?
13204But why do they confine this species of reasoning to the pagan world?
13204But, how is this lack to be supplied?
13204By what law?
13204Can God say to the hardened Judas: Son be of good cheer, thy sin is forgiven thee?
13204Can He speak to the traitor as He speaks to the Magdalen?
13204Can I not do what I will with mine own?
13204Can a perfect heart be originated in a sinner by these two methods?
13204Can any being do a wrong act, and be as sound in his will and as spiritually strong, after it, as he was before it?
13204Can it be that sheer imposture and error have such a tenacious vitality as this?
13204Can it be that the truth that there is only one God is native to the human spirit, and that the pagan"_ knows_"this God?
13204Can it be that there is a moral law written upon their hearts forbidding such carnality, and enjoining purity and holiness?
13204Can it be that this strong and steady draft of conscience,--strong and steady as gravitation,--will ultimately prove ineffectual?
13204Can the moral law originate this?
13204Can you say with David,"We give thanks and rejoice, at the remembrance of Thy holiness?"
13204Do men at such times find that sincere desires, and longings, and aspirations, come at their beck?
13204Do they tell you that they are uniformly successful in inducing these sinners to leave their sins?
13204Do we feel ourselves to be guilty beings; do we hunger, and do we thirst for the expiation of our sins?
13204Do you ask me to make myself wholly miserable?"
13204Do you ask, What one particular single thing shall I do, that I may be safe for time and eternity?
13204Do you believe that there is an eternal world, and that the general features of this mode of existence have been scripturally depicted?
13204Do you come to us with the theory that every human creature will be happy in another life, and that the doctrine of future misery is false?
13204Do you know that your love of sin has the power to stifle and overcome the mightiest of your fears, when you are strongly tempted to self- indulgence?
13204Do you tell us that God is too good to punish men, and that therefore it must be that He is merciful?
13204Do you_ love_ God''s holy character?
13204Does his consciousness of inward poverty assume this form?
13204Does it congenially sway and incline him?
13204Does the holy law of God overarch him like the firmament,"tinged with a blue of heavenly dye, and starred with sparkling gold?"
13204Does the law, in its abrupt and terrible operation in my conscience, start out the feeling of guiltiness until I throb with anguish, and moral fear?
13204Does the stern behest,"Do this or die,"secure his willing and joyful obedience?
13204Else, why do these pangs and fears shoot and flash through it, every now and then?
13204For example:"Where is boasting then?
13204For how can his sin be pardoned, unless it is clearly understood by the pardoning power?
13204For, think you that the insensible sinner is always to be thus insensible,--that this power of self- inspection is eternally to"rust unused?"
13204For, who of the race of man is holy enough to stand such an inspection?
13204Has he attained the chief end of man?
13204Has religion reached its last term, and ultimate limit, when man respects the rights of property?
13204Has the Deity spoken to you in particular, and told you that He will forgive your sin, and my sin, and that of all the generations?
13204Have you a private revelation of your own?
13204He still has a capacity for loving; but in eternity where is the fame, the wealth, the pleasure upon which he has hitherto expended it?
13204He that formed the eye, shall He not see?"
13204He 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?"
13204How can God administer forgiveness, unless there is a correlated temper to receive it?
13204How can his soul be purified from its inward corruption, unless it is searched by the Spirit of all holiness?
13204How can we endure such a scrutiny as God is instituting into our character and conduct?
13204How do you establish the guilt of those at the end of the line?
13204How is this great hiatus in human character to be filled up?
13204How shall he resist temptation, unless he has some_ fear_ of God before his eyes?
13204How shall the fountain of holy and filial affection towards God be made to gush up into everlasting life, within your now unloving and hostile heart?
13204How then can he be brought in guilty before the same eternal bar, and be condemned to the same eternal punishment, with the nominal Christian?
13204How, then, can the mere reproaches and remorse of conscience be regarded as evidence of piety?
13204I ask, therefore, Wast thou ever killed stark dead by the law of works contained in the Scriptures?
13204If Christianity is a delusion and a lie, why does it not die out, and disappear?
13204If the Sovereign has a perfect right to say whether He will or will not pardon the criminal, has He not the same right to say_ how_ He will do it?
13204If the foundations themselves of morals and religion are destroyed, what can be done for the salvation of the creature?
13204If this experience has been forced upon him, shall he meet it with the port and bearing of a strong man?
13204If you can admire and praise them, in this style, why do you not_ love_ them?
13204If you view your own personal sin in reference to your own personal fears, are you not a slave to it?
13204In trying to judge of the final condition of a pagan outside of revelation, we must ask the question: Was he penitent?
13204Is a man, then, sensible that his understanding is darkened by sin, and that he is destitute of clear and just apprehensions of divine things?
13204Is he moulded by it?
13204Is it not so in our own personal experience?
13204Is it not_ too late_ for such a creature as man now is to adopt the method of salvation by the works of the law?
13204Is not that a strange act by which he, for a time, duplicates his own unity, and sets himself to look at himself?
13204Is not that a wonderful process by which a man knows, not some other thing but,_ himself_?
13204Is not the one the measure of the other?
13204Is not truth mighty, and must it not finally prevail, to the pulling down of the stronghold which Satan has in the human heart?
13204Is such a heart as this"conformed unto"the law and will of God?
13204Is the evil removed by denying its existence?
13204Is the question, then, of the Jews, pressing upon your mind?
13204Is the sun black, because the eye is shut?
13204Is there not a wonderful power to_ convict_ of sin, in this test?
13204Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens To wash it white as snow?
13204Is thine eye evil because I am good?"
13204Is this religious perfection?
13204Is this the_ original_ and_ necessary_ relation which law sustains to the will and affections of an accountable creature?
13204Is''t no worse for the wear?
13204It is not the highest expression of the religious feeling, when we say,"How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against my conscience?"
13204Killed by the law or letter, and made to see thy sins against it, and left in an helpless condition by the law?
13204Must the pure and holy law of God, from the very nature of things, be a weariness and a curse?
13204Must there not be an inveterate opposition and resistance in the_ heart_?
13204Nay, why is it that he finds it impossible fully to believe that Jehovah is a sin- pardoning God, unless he is enabled so to do by the Holy Ghost?
13204Never for a moment, in the endless cycles, can it look away from its Maker; for in His presence what other object is there to look at?
13204No, He''s forever in a smiling mood; He''s like themselves; or how could He be good?
13204Of what use would it have been to offer mercy, before the sense of its need had been elicited?
13204On the contrary, is he not excited to opposition by it?
13204On the contrary, should I not be the most wretched of mortals?
13204Or cloy the hungry edge of appetite, By bare imagination of a feast?
13204Or wallow naked in December snow, By thinking on fantastic summer heat?
13204Or, in other words:_ Why can not the ten commandments save a sinner_?
13204Or, is there anything in the performance of duty,--in the act of obeying law,--that is adapted to produce this result, by taking away guilt?
13204Ought not this state of things to be reversed?
13204Ought this guilty carnal enjoyment to be perpetuated through all eternity, under the government of a righteous and just God?
13204Our Lord, by his searching reply to the young ruler''s question,"What lack I yet?"
13204Received ye the Spirit, by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
13204Return you me guilt, lethargy, despair?
13204Shall pleasures of a short duration chain A lady''s soul in everlasting pain?
13204Shall the ten commandments of Sinai, in any of their forms or uses, send a cooling and calming virtue through the hot conscience?
13204Should we not be more circumspect than we are, if men were able mutually to search each other''s hearts?
13204The great question that presses upon the human mind, from age to age, is the inquiry: Is God a merciful Being, and will He show mercy?
13204The instant he put the question: Will God_ punish_ me for my transgression?
13204The text leads us to inquire:_ Why can not the moral law make fallen man perfect_?
13204Think you that the deathbed and the day of judgment will prove this to be the fact?
13204Think you that there is nothing_ lacking_ in such a character as this?
13204Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself?
13204To whom, then, can such an one go but unto Him?
13204Was, then, that which is good made death unto this youth, by a_ Divine_ arrangement?
13204We grant that the temptations that assail him are very powerful; but are not some of the temptations that beset you and me very powerful?
13204What are the"good things"which Dives receives here, for which he must be"tormented"hereafter?
13204What can we do, in that day which shall reveal the thoughts and the estimates of the Holy One respecting us?
13204What can we say, in the day of reckoning, when the Searcher of hearts shall make known, to us all that He knows of us?
13204What does he know of the burden of sin?
13204What heathen will not need an atonement, for his failure to live up even to the light of nature?
13204What is the_ ground_ and_ reason_ of such an answer as this?
13204What pagan has ever realized the truths of natural conscience, in his inward character and his outward life?
13204What pagan is there in all the generations that will not be found guilty before the bar of natural religion?
13204What would our merciful Redeemer have us learn from this passage which He has caused to be recorded for our instruction?
13204What, then, is gained, by proposing another than the Biblical theory of human nature?
13204What, then, is the religion that is to be received?
13204When God teaches,"Where is the wise?
13204When the commandment"_ comes_,"loaded down with menace and damnation, does not sin"revive,"as the Apostle affirms?
13204When we look into our hearts, and find no holy reverence there, ought we not to be filled with shame and sorrow?
13204When, therefore, the young ruler''s question,"What lack I?"
13204Where then do you send me for the information, and the testimony?
13204Whereto serves mercy, But to confront the visage of offence?
13204Whither then shall we go from God''s spirit?
13204Who can feel himself amenable to a moral law, without at the same time thinking of its Author?
13204Who has ever realized these wishes and aspirations, in his heart and conduct?
13204Who is he that condemmeth?
13204Who is he that condemneth, when it is Christ that died, and God that justifies?
13204Who of the sons of men will prove pure in such a furnace?
13204Who of this class voluntarily makes himself unhappy, by thinking of subjects that are gloomy to his mind?
13204Who of us would not be filled with uneasiness, if he knew that an imperfect fellow- creature were looking constantly into his soul?
13204Who shall lay anything to God''s elect?
13204Why can he not be saved by the law of works?
13204Why do they not bring it into nominal Christendom, and apply it there?
13204Why does he not tell us that because this civilized man acts no better, therefore he knows no better?
13204Why does the drowning man instinctively ask for God''s mercy?
13204Why is he so summarily shut up to the law of faith?
13204Why is it, that when the character of Christ bows your intellect, it does not bend your will, and sway your affections?
13204Why is man invited to the method of faith in another, instead of the method of faith in himself?
13204Why is not his first spontaneous thought the true one?
13204Why is the commandment enunciated in the Scriptures, and why is the Christian ministry perpetually preaching it to men dead in trespasses and sins?
13204Why should he not obtain eternal life by resolutely proceeding to do his duty, and keeping the law of God?
13204Why should not you and I mourn over the total want of the image of God in our hearts, as much as over any other form and species of sin?
13204Why should they be weary and heavy- laden with a sense of their unworthiness before God, and you go through life indifferent and light- hearted?
13204Why should ye be stricken, any more?
13204Why, the very function and office- work of law, in all its forms, is to condemn and terrify the transgressor; how then can it calm and soothe him?
13204Why, then, does every man need these influences of the Holy Spirit which are so cordially offered in the text?
13204Will he say that the population that knew enough to build the pyramids did not know enough to break the law of God?
13204Will the great Author us poor worms destroy, For now and then a sip of transient joy?
13204Will the mere calling men good at heart, and by nature, make them such?
13204Will the objector really take the position and stand to it, that the pagan man is not a rational and responsible creature?
13204Wilt thou, then, not be afraid of the power?
13204With these kindling flashes in his guilt- stricken spirit, shall he run into the very identical fire that kindled them?
13204Would David have dared to say:"This is the work of God,--this is the saving act,--that ye believe in me?"
13204Would Paul have presumed to say to the anxious inquirer:"Your soul is safe, if you trust in me?"
13204Would he not feel, with a misery and a shame that could not be expressed, that he was naked?
13204Would not this self- knowledge be pure living torment?
13204Would you have the Almighty pay a bounty upon unrighteousness, and place goodness under eternal pains and penalties?
13204You who approve of the law of God as pure and perfect, why do you not conform your own heart and conduct to it?
13204You who know the character and claims of God, and are able to state them to another, why do you not revere and obey them in your own person?
13204[ 3] And do we not hear this theory repeated by the modern unbeliever?
13204[ Footnote 4: ANSELM: Cur Deus Homo?
13204all would be set second to the simple single inquiry:"Shall I think, shall I feel, shall I know?"
13204and how was this to be elicited, but by the solemn and authoritative enunciation of law and justice?
13204and what are the"evil things"which Lazarus receives in this world, for which he will be"comforted"in the world to come?
13204how can ye escape the damnation of hell?"

13204of works?
13204or whither shall we flee from His presence and His knowledge?
13204ought he not then to be"comforted"in the bosom of Abraham, in the paradise of God?
13204rather than the question: Was he virtuous?]
13204that He who called Himself The Truth would employ a lie, either directly or indirectly, even to promote the spiritual welfare of men?
13204that because he neither fears nor loves the one only God, therefore he does not know that there is any such Being?
13204that he does not possess sufficient knowledge of moral truth, to justify his being brought to the bar of judgment?
13204that he was utterly unfit to appear in such a Presence?

13941How shall they preach except they be sent?
13941How shall they preach except they be sent?
13941Judge in yourselves, is it comely that a woman pray unto God uncovered? 13941 Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
13941Therefore the ruling elders( in the reformed churches) that take no maintenance of the church, are not the elders that rule well here mentioned?
13941They were pricked in their heart, and said to Peter and to the rest of the apostles, Men and brethren, what shall we do?
13941Who is that faithful and wise steward?
13941& c. Nay, hath not Christ laid this task of authoritative preaching only upon his own officers?
13941( as those of contrary judgment argue:) if one be taken in as an inimitable practice, why not the other?
139411, 2; but there the Jews had judicatories, that inflicted public punishments upon persons ecclesiastically offending?
1394110, who can forbid us to argue so?
1394112, 13,& c., was he therefore not an apostle to them, as to other churches of whom he took maintenance?
1394117?
1394119: and have fathers no authority nor power of government over their children?
1394119; is therefore the woman preferred before the man?
1394119?
139412, and before that, all the time from Christ, wherein is she maimed or defective in her authority?
1394120, and by us ordinarily to be imitated; how else is it a communion?
1394121, that you may in all your ways honor and glorify him, as the end of your living in this world?
1394126- 28, and elsewhere?
1394128; and therefore how can such acts be sufficiently excused from bold usurpation upon Christ''s own prerogative?
1394128?
1394129, 30, which plainly points out different officers, persons not gifts, besides those three:_ Are all apostles?
139413, that some of them, probably many of them, both men and women, were haled and committed to prison?
1394131; but he intended it only to the prophets respectively, not to all the members; for he saith elsewhere,"Are all prophets?"
139414, 5,"Have not we liberty to eat and drink?
139416, 12, not for their far travels up and down several countries to propagate the gospel, for where are Mary and Persis reported to have done this?
139417, and in other places; but doth it therefore follow, that none have the power of ruling, but those that have the power of preaching?
139418, 9,& c."If a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?"
13941A perfect enumeration and description of scandals can be made in no book but in the Scriptures; and when all is done, must we not refer thither?
13941Again,_ Paul and Barnabas equally travelled together, but Paul was chief speaker_: what then?
13941All the doubt will be, whom the apostle intended by these governments?
13941And can that be arbitrary, which is not at all according to man''s will, but only according to Christ''s rule, limiting and ordering man''s will?
13941And can we think that the laborious Paul intended to dignify, patronize, or encourage idle drones, lazy, sluggish, seldom preachers?
13941And do not the churches of Christ generally conclude upon these grounds, that the Lord''s- day sabbath is of divine warrant?
13941And do you prefer it to all earthly, carnal things?
13941And doth not this lead us plainly to the ruling elder?
13941And how shall any part of it be derived from Christ to man, but by some fit intervening mean betwixt Christ and man?
13941And how should these thirteen ministers be employed, if there were not many congregations?
13941And if all this laid together will not clearly evince the divine right of the ruling elder, what will?
13941And if not, where is the strength or force of this kind of arguing from the light of nature?
13941And in this sense the Holy Ghost ofttimes useth this word in the New Testament; as for instance,"Is not the life better than meat?"
13941And is not that officer IA the Church of divine right, which God himself, by his own act and authority, sets therein?
13941And was this so hideous a desire?
13941And what is all this to the purpose for which his example is urged?
13941And what mean of conveyance betwixt Christ and man can suffice, if it do not amount to an authentic grant or commission for such power?
13941And where shall we stop?
13941And who fitter to make it than those who are to enjoy the use thereof, if their senses be exercised to discern good and evil?
13941And why are divers congregations styled one church?
13941And will not such meetings have bitterness in the end?
13941And, without some evidence of this, what ground have we to expect a blessing in waiting upon their ministry?
13941Are all and every one of the multitude of the faithful able to teach, exhort, and convince?
13941Are apostolical gifts no gifts, or power no power?
13941Are not the brethren, the church, the whole church, mentioned here as well as the apostles and elders?
13941Are there two first subjects of the same adjuncts?
13941Are these things so indeed?
13941Are you glad when you find it, and sad when by your own carelessness you lose it?
13941Are you grieved in spirit, because you can love him no more?
13941Are your lusts your heaviest burdens and your greatest afflictions, and do you intend and endeavor their utter ruin and destruction?
13941But how should this be the meaning?
13941But if the whole Church be the dispenser of the mysteries of God, what shall be the object of this dispensation?
13941But is the word subject used here properly, for the first subject recipient of all church offices, with all their gifts and power?
13941But might not this be a meeting merely for consultation, and their decision a mere advice?
13941But this is absurd; for if all be officers, where is the organical body?
13941But what do such records instruct us?
13941But whence is this power originally derived to them?
13941But who shall determine whether they walk in judgment and peace, or not?
13941But why hath not the Scripture determined these assemblies in particular?
13941But,_ how shall they preach except they be sent_?
13941Can any man pretend to know better what gifts suit the case of my soul than I do myself?
13941Can ministers''reading of sermons consist with the dignity of their office?
13941Could these ordain their pastors or other ecclesiastic officers, to what purpose did Paul leave Titus at Crete to_ ordain elders in every city_?
13941Did Jesus or his apostles ever show them an example of this?
13941Did they only tarry to gather a new church?
13941Do the nobles live forever?
13941Do you desire and choose Jesus Christ for the great object of your love, delight, and joy?
13941Do you indeed aim at, desire, labor, and strive, to be holy in heart and life, and conformable unto Jesus Christ in all things possible?
13941Do you seriously and heartily desire and endeavor never to sin more; but to walk with God unto all well- pleasing continually?
13941Do you so seek for it in the way of gospel obedience, and in observing your duty in keeping Christ''s commandments?
13941Do you thus desire and choose to have him with his yoke and cross?
13941Do your hearts breathe and pant after it, and are you willing to deny self, and all self- interests to get it?
13941Doth his love and loveliness attract your hearts to him, and cause you to yield the obedience of faith to his holy laws?
13941Doth it lead you unto, and cause your hearts to centre in Christ?
13941Doth it warm your hearts, and cause them for a time to run your race in gospel obedience cheerfully?
13941Doth it when obtained quicken your love to and zeal for Christ?
13941Doth not even nature itself teach you, that if a man hath long hair, it is a shame to him?
13941Doth not this interpretation allow a double honor to ministers that labor not so much as others in the word?
13941Doth not ungodliness in these last times abound, according to the same apostle''s prediction?
13941For how can they fulfil their ministry, if others take the work out of their hand?
13941For the first, What is meant by the true light of nature, or natural reason?
13941For this seems a needless exhortation; what church would not readily yield an especial honor to apostles and evangelists above pastors and teachers?
13941For what work?
13941For whence had they it?
13941For where doth Scripture allow such power to the community in such cases?
13941For will any man that knoweth what it is to reason, reason from the general to the particular and special affirmatively?
13941For, 1. Who should tyrannize, what persons, what ruling assemblies?
13941Further, if the believers of Jerusalem voted in that assembly, by what authority was it?
13941Has our adored Redeemer thus intrusted to his adult members the election of their pastors?
13941Hath not he that_ catechizeth_ power for government of him that is_ catechized_?
13941Hath not the_ pastor_ power to rule and govern his_ flock_?
13941Hath therefore the fraternity, as well as the presbytery, power to cast him out?
13941Have not stewards power to govern and order those_ families_ over which they are set, and wherewith they are intrusted?
13941Have not the people a divine right to choose their own pastors and other church officers?
13941Have not we liberty to lead about a sister, a wife?"
13941Have not_ builders_ power of disposing and ordering affairs appertaining to the_ building_?
13941Have not_ overseers_ power over that which is_ committed to their inspection_?
13941Have they liberty of electing their own[5] officers, pastors, elders, and deacons?
13941Have they only those officers which Christ himself hath appointed, pastors and teachers, ruling elders and deacons?
13941Have you a measure of spiritual knowledge and discerning of spiritual things?
13941He that_ teacheth_ of him that is_ taught_?
13941How can it be acceptable to God, or profitable to ourselves?
13941How can they tyrannize over any?
13941How can they_ commit it to faithful men_, if, not waiting their commission, men rush into it at pleasure?
13941How does it appear that inferior courts are subordinate to those that are superior; sessions to presbyteries, and presbyteries to synods?
13941How does it appear that no power of authority is lodged in the body of the people, the private members of the church?
13941How does it appear that the power of all the members was ordinary and equal?
13941How does it appear that there is a particular form of government appointed in the New Testament Church?
13941How does it appear that there were judicial decrees given by this synod?
13941How does it appear, that Scripture consequences are to be admitted to prove any particular truth or doctrine?
13941How does it appear, that this synod followed the ordinary method of procedure in such courts?
13941How hath Christ committed this power of the keys to his church guides, that thereby they become the most proper receptacle thereof?
13941How many sorts of binding examples are propounded unto us in Scripture, and which are those examples?
13941How shall old, decrepit bishops rule well, when they can not labor in the word and doctrine?
13941How shall the men, who maintain the principle''s of the Independents, clearly help themselves out of these perplexing absurdities?
13941How shall they be officers in the Church that are not so much as members of the Church?
13941How then can the preaching, or our hearing, of such, be in faith?
13941How, or in what sense the ruling officers are intrusted with this government, severally or jointly?
13941How, without this, can they do it warrantably or profitably?
13941If a man be scandalized by the neighbor- church, to whom shall he complain?
13941If all the believers were scattered, to what end did the apostles tarry at Jerusalem-- to preach to the walls?
13941If he comes unsent, how can I expect edification by his ministry, when God has declared,_ such shall not profit his people at all_?
13941If he may, whether shall he appeal regularly but to an associated presbytery?
13941If in a city all were aldermen, where were the citizens?
13941If in a kingdom all were kings, where were the subjects, the people, the commonalty, the commonwealth, or the political government?
13941If not, what hinders?
13941If the congregation generally oppose, with what candor do the presbytery, in Jesus''name, determine that he is fit?
13941If they have the power of electing one ordinary officer, why not of all?
13941If they must love them so exceedingly for ruling over them, must they not much more be obedient to this rule?
13941In such cases two are better than one:"Wo to them that are alone; if they fall, who shall take them up?"
13941Is Christ the Lord as acceptable to you as Christ Jesus the Saviour?
13941Is all hypocrisy hateful and abominable unto you?
13941Is it for any end?
13941Is it for no end?
13941Is it not as necessary that by government sin be suppressed, piety promoted, and the Church edified, now as well as then?
13941Is it not the fruit of his ascension,& c.?
13941Is it the great thing you aim at, in your profession and practice, to attain sincerity and uprightness in heart?
13941Is the foot to be lanced?
13941Is the office of the gospel minister instituted by God to continue to the end of time?
13941Is the word subject here used improperly, for object, whose good all offices with their gifts and power are given?
13941Is there not now a more free and permitted intercourse of society with infidels than in those times?
13941Nay, he deserves not the very name of such an officer in the church: why should he be called a pastor that doth not feed?
13941Nor doth the apostle''s expression, verse 12,"Do you not judge them that are within?"
13941Now doth not this tacitly insinuate, that some ministers may rule well, and be worthy of double honor, though they labor not in the word and doctrine?
13941Now the question is, How were the different congregations in each of these places ONE CHURCH?
13941Now, where there were so many pastors, were there not several congregations for them to feed?
13941Now, who can imagine that the apostles and disciples were not actuated by the Spirit of Christ bestowed upon them?
13941On earth, was ever delusion carried on without pretence to, or without appearances of these?
13941Only_ in fact_, that such things were done by the first churches?
13941Or can we think that the apostles were not as careful to erect elderships in several congregations, as to appoint elders?
13941Or in what respects?
13941Or in what sense is such power committed to them?
13941Or is apostleship no office?
13941Or was the_ world, life, death, things present and to come_, given to the wicked in the church of Corinth?
13941Or were they idle, neglecting the exercise and improvement of their talents?
13941Or what apostolical church ever assumed to themselves any such thing?
13941Or where are their accusers?
13941Or, had all the members of the church been driven from Jerusalem, how were the apostles to be employed?
13941Shall all those relations be mere names and shadows?
13941Shall their dwelling continue to all generations?
13941So if in the family all were masters, where were the household?
13941Suppose it were otherwise, might not a poor widow''s_ two mites_ be more in Jesus''account than all he gives?
13941The Scripture, however, nowhere saith, how shall they preach except they be gracious?
13941The command is directed to them all, when they are gathered together,(_ and what is that but to a church meeting?_) to proceed against him, 1 Cor.
13941The rich fathers, where are they?
13941They may not administer the seals, the sacraments, baptize,& c. under the New Testament; for who gave the people any such authority?
13941To render the point incontestably evident, he demands, how men shall preach_ except they be sent_?
13941To what end, if they had not several congregations of several languages, to speak in these several tongues unto them?
13941To what end?
13941V. Do you seriously and heartily choose and desire communion with Christ, and in truth endeavor to obtain and keep it?

13941What church officers or members of elderships are of divine right?
13941What discriminatory notes or rules may we walk by, for finding out the obligatory force of scripture examples; and what manner of examples those be?
13941What effect had the decision of this synod upon the churches?
13941What hath God set in the Church?
13941What is it then?
13941What is meant by Christ''s committing this stewardly power first and immediately to the church guides?
13941What is meant by church government?
13941What is meant by church guides?
13941What is meant by church?
13941What is meant by government?
13941What is meant by power or authority?

13941What is that new commandment?
13941What is the power committed to them?
13941What is the proper method of dealing with persons that fall into scandal?
13941What likelihood of arbitrary conduct in this government, that is, that it should be managed and carried on according to men''s mere will and pleasure?
13941What necessity is there that a particular congregation should be fully furnished with officers, to make it the subject of all church authority?
13941What necessity of government could be pleaded then, which may not as strongly be pleaded now?
13941What needed all this, if this had been a transcendent, extraordinary, and not an ordinary synod?
13941What one congregation can be instanced in the New Testament that did ever execute any of these acts of authority?
13941What one true excellence is there in the whole independent government in any one point, wherein it really differs from the presbyterial government?
13941What particular form of church government may lay the only proper claim to a divine right, according to the Holy Scriptures?
13941What persons have a right in the sight of God to be actual members of the Church of Christ?
13941What power is it that is committed to the body of the Church or multitude of the faithful?
13941What probability or possibility of tyranny in the presbyterial government?
13941What promise did God ever make to any act or performance, which was not a duty?
13941What rulers are there in the presbyterian church?
13941What that government is?
13941What then can be inferred hereupon by the adversaries of ruling elders?
13941What then?
13941What warrant doth this exception hold out for two sorts of ministers here pretended, some_ preaching_, others_ only administering the sacraments_?
13941What was the cause referred to this synod?
13941When may a particular form of church government be said to be of divine right?
13941When was it given to them?
13941Whence had they it?
13941Where is his conduct commanded, commended, or unmarked with wrath, exemplified in the sacred words?
13941Where is the divine warrant for a presbytery?
13941Where is the divine warrant for an ecclesiastical synod?
13941Where is the divine warrant for congregational sessions?
13941Where is the divine warrant for deacons?
13941Where is the divine warrant for the office of the ruling elder?
13941Where is the divine warrant for the preaching elder?
13941Where then shall that independent church find healing?
13941Wherein is the excellency of the independent way of government?
13941Whether classical presbyteries be of divine right?
13941Whether parochial or congregational elderships be of divine right?
13941Whether provincial, national, and ecumenical assemblies be of divine right?
13941Whether the power of censures in the congregational eldership, or any other assembly, be of divine right?
13941Whether there be any particular church government of divine right?
13941Whether there be any particular rules in the Scripture directing persons or assemblies in the exercise of their power?
13941Which are those obligatory scripture examples?
13941Who have a right to preach the gospel and dispense the public ordinances of religion?
13941Who knows not, that the Pharisaic sect pretended far more strictness, far more devotion, than the family of Christ?
13941Who shall undertake to proportion the honor and reward, according to the proportion of every minister''s labor?
13941Who were the proper members of the synod convened here?
13941Why should Paul''s laboring be restrained here to his preaching only?
13941Why should the presbyterial government, to be erected in England, be prejudged as arbitrary, before the government be put in execution?
13941Why?
13941Will mere prudence, without a divine right, be a sufficient basis to erect the whole frame of church government upon, as some conceive?
13941Will no degree of grace satisfy you until you be perfect to the utmost as Christ is?
13941Will you fly in the face of our civil law?
13941Will you plead for the method of choosing church officers, which already has produced so much strife, bloody squabbling, or riot?
13941Would Christ so crown public prayer were it not his own ordinance?
13941Would you acknowledge the_ three_ for honored ambassadors of Christ?
13941Would you have him to destroy your lusts, to make an end of sin, and to bring all under his obedience?
13941Would you indeed live to the praise of his glorious grace, be an ornament unto his name and gospel, and be fruitful in every good word and work?
13941Would you much rather have the praise of God, and be approved of by him, than the praise of men, and be extolled by them?
13941Yea, what deserve such as deny the Spirit to be of God?
13941[ 123]_ On the same subject-- Who have a right to preach the gospel_?
13941[ 34] May we not from all clearly conclude, Therefore no proper ecclesiastical power was ever given by Jesus Christ to the magistrate as a magistrate?

13941and do you earnestly pray unto him to shed abroad his love into your hearts by the Holy Ghost, that you may love him as ye ought?
13941and do you find him to be so in some measure?
13941and doth it oblige and bind them faster unto him and stir you up to thankfulness?
13941and how absurd were this?
13941and how will the life of religion in families, yea, and in churches also, languish, if these family exercises be not conscientiously upheld?
13941and if all be governors, where are the governed?
13941and if so, what need of pastors, teachers,& c.,, in the Church?

19100All whom this verse specifies, and enow to bring in all the rest?
19100Always we may learn from this, that the Lord''s best servants have been, and will be abused, and spitefully used?
19100Am I indeed resolved in like manner, without respect of persons, to endeavour the extirpation of popery, prelacy?
19100Am I indeed resolved to humble myself for my own sins, and the sins of the kingdom?
19100An impediment removed, under the name of a mountain,"Who art thou, O great mountain?
19100And I think God saith to you in this text,"Who art thou, O great mountain?
19100And as for Jesus Christ, who is the angel of the covenant: are there not some amongst us that ungod Jesus Christ?
19100And can we think, that God will be easily entreated to sheath up His bloody sword, and to cease shedding our blood?
19100And do not these look like the days wherein the prophet calls to the doing of this?
19100And doth not this indistinctly admit all, and all, of all sorts?
19100And here, let me not conceal the mercy of the Lord to us, in the work now in hand; for why should not the Lord have the glory of all His favours?
19100And how base is that issue which is begotten between, and born from vile affections, and a reprobate mind?
19100And how great an obligation to duly doth this contain, wherein there is an obligation to every duty?
19100And how reverently did they read in the Scriptures, and speak of the nature of the covenant?
19100And if families be not reformed, how will your worshippers be pure?
19100And if so, is not their lot fallen in an unpleasant place?
19100And if you ask again, what days those are?
19100And if you inquire when this should be?
19100And is it not fit and equal that God should unchurch us and unpeople us?
19100And is not the godly ministry as much persecuted by the tongues of some that would be accounted godly, as heretofore by the bishop''s hands?
19100And is that indeed the way of gospel government?
19100And is this because He has need of you?
19100And is this to keep covenant with God?
19100And may not this day''s work be a happy beginning of such a blessed expedition?
19100And shall not God be avenged of such a nation as this?
19100And shall we not rejoice?
19100And should not all these make you willing to swear to it, and to hazard for it?
19100And so, when he had made that appeal to God,"do not I hate them that hate Thee, Lord?"
19100And the while kings will defend these, these will defend kings?
19100And think ye to prevail against the people of Zion?
19100And thus much be spoken concerning the first branch of this third query, how to acceptation?
19100And were these all?
19100And what is it that makes the covenant of God with man thus sure?
19100And what was the reason of this stand, or contrary motion?
19100And when the nation shall say, Wherefore hath the Lord done thus unto the land?
19100And where is the man that walketh so holily in this covenant as becomes him, and as it requires?
19100And wherefore cried ye yesterday and this day, Hosanna, hosanna?
19100And why may not God make use of the same stratagem to ruin their kingdom, which they used to build it?
19100And yet again,"do not I hate them, O Lord, that hate Thee?"
19100And yet how many are there amongst us like unto Gallio, that care not what becomes of the cause of God, so they may have peace and quiet?
19100And, as our Saviour speaks upon another occasion,"If the light which is in them be darkness, how great is that darkness?"
19100And, moreover, beloved, whom have ye against you in this course?
19100And,"Hath any nation changed their god, which yet are no gods?
19100Are not these the days, and this the time, when out of the north there cometh up a nation against her?
19100Are there not many that walk professedly contrary to this clause of the covenant?
19100Are there not thousands that have sworn to be Christ''s servants, and yet are in their lives the vassals of sin and Satan?
19100Are we not covenant- breakers?
19100Are we not like little children that, while they are being whipped, will promise any thing; but, when the whipping is over, will perform nothing?
19100Are you willing to be at this cost to build the tower?
19100Are you willing to this engagement?
19100Art thou able to stand out against Him, or pitch any field against Him?
19100As David saith in another case,"Is it a light thing to be the son- in- law of a king?"
19100As if He had said, would you know the reason why this people were so unstedfast?
19100As some say, What better is this feast than the feast we have at home?
19100At another occasion I handled the parable after a more general manner, and propounded these points unto you: 1. Who was this great king?
19100Busking a bride for the Pope of Rome, the bishop of Rome, even for antichrist?
19100Busking a bride for thyself?
19100But ah?
19100But are there not some that write against an uniformity in religion, and call it an idol?
19100But for whom especially is this joy reserved?
19100But is it indeed only the fault of the men, not of the calling?
19100But it may be, some will say, what is this cost?
19100But now, blessed be God, it was otherwise:"the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together"to what end?
19100But now, how are our fasting days slighted and vilified?
19100But now, the Lord Jesus, the antitype of David here in this Psalm, because he made good this,( duty shall I call it?)
19100But trow ye that every minister and every burgh will come in?
19100But trow ye, that God will give that honour to every one?
19100But what bosom- sin, what beloved sin, as dear to thee as thy dear wife and children, hast thou left for God''s sake, since thou tookest this oath?
19100But what holy thing is there which swine will not make mire of, for themselves to wallow in?
19100But what is the bearing of Scotland''s Covenanted Reformation of three centuries ago, on the Scotland of the present times?
19100But what were the particulars that made up the gross sum of all this?
19100But where is that family reformation?
19100But who makes conscience of this part of the oath?
19100But yet further, was not the calling as bad as the men?
19100But, will they take up arms and scatter carnage and blood throughout the land?
19100By what rule?
19100Can Satan cast out Satan?
19100Can that be a trifle, which is published as the main and sole preventive of all the bloody plots of God''s enemies against the truth?
19100Can that be a trifle, which is the fruit of the judicious consultations of the agents of both kingdoms, as the only means to perpetuate the union?
19100Can that be a trifle, which was produced by such, who had merely the glory of God before their eyes as conducing much thereto?
19100Can that be the government of Christ and His Church?
19100Can that man be said really to endeavour the maintenance of a cause while he lets it starve?
19100Can there be found a parallel to Christ in the world, that hath so given himself up to God?
19100Can you instance in any that have been backward to swear unto the Lord?
19100Canst thou hold the field against Him?
19100Could an oppressed people bear the tyranny longer?
19100Dear hearts, know ye not how Moses was used?
19100Did not prelacy?
19100Divers more such instances I could give you; and why thus?
19100Do we not make the times perilous by our falsifying of our oath and covenant with God?
19100Do you know yourselves?
19100Doth the oath bind me to oppose legal acts?
19100Ephraim shall say,"What have I to do with idols?"
19100Find we not the name of bishop under the New Testament?
19100For the Lord''s supper, how oft have we spilt the blood of Christ by our unworthy approaches to His table?
19100For we say, how can Satan cast out Satan?
19100For when ye say the grace to your meat, say ye it to man?
19100For why should not every one value the public above the private, the common good before his own?
19100God hath a_ changing power_, whereby He makes mountains plain: how easy is it with God, to make the highest mountain that impedes His work a plain?
19100God will be steady to us; why should not we resolve to be so to Him?
19100Had it not been better to have defeated Athaliah, and then to have crowned the king?
19100Has He not a famous church in America, where He may go?
19100Has it no instruction for all times?
19100Hath it not been prelacy?
19100Have ye not so much power as the mountains and hills have?
19100Have you engaged your souls in a solemn league?
19100Here is God''s wise deliberation on the matter:"how shall I put thee?"
19100Here was cheerfulness: who was not glad to see it?
19100How are the people of God divided one from another, railing upon( instead of loving) one another?
19100How beautiful were the feet of them that brought the gospel of peace unto you?
19100How can we, say they, bind ourselves to forbear the practice of that whilk Acts of Assembly allows, and Acts of Parliament commands?
19100How comes it to pass then that this part of the covenant is so much forgotten?
19100How comes the man to be so undaunted?
19100How comes this to pass?
19100How could they loyally support a Constitution now so opposite to the ancient Scriptural and Covenanted Constitution of the realm?
19100How dear and precious were God''s people one to another?
19100How in judgment?
19100How much more then will holiness be increased through this covenant which, in many branches of it, is a direct covenant for, and about holiness?
19100How so?
19100How to acceptation?
19100How to( 1) Acceptation?
19100How unbecoming is it, that they who swear together, should be so strange as scarce to speak together?
19100How, or in what manner this service is to be performed?
19100How?
19100How?
19100I appeal to all your consciences, Is it possible to set caveats to their pride and avarice?
19100I come now to the Second branch of it, and that is, How to perpetuity?
19100I have now done with these three queries; What?
19100I may apply this to them that can not act; will ye sit still, when the rest of your brethren are to hazard their lives against the enemy?
19100I see you looking up to the height of it, and ye are saying within yourselves, How shall it come down?
19100I will say to you then that word,"The hill of God is a high hill, as the hill of Bashan: why leap ye, ye hills?
19100If God be with a work, who is he that will let or impede it?
19100If I would pose you with this question, as you will answer to God, Who have been the instruments of all this mischief?
19100If any shall say these demands are very high and the charge very great, but is a part in this covenant worth it?
19100If our father had but spit in our face by some inferior correction, should we not be ashamed?
19100If this position were assumed by larger numbers throughout the land, who knoweth whether they would"not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?"
19100If thou askest, What will this garment do to thee?
19100If we knew that every loss were our gain, every wound our healing, every disappointment our success, every defeat our victory, would we not rejoice?
19100If we walk and work by sense, and not by faith?
19100In a covenant, God and man meet; He is with us who is more than all that are against us: and when He is with us, who can be against us?
19100In the first place, we must inquire how this duty may be so managed, that God may accept of us in the doing of it?
19100In what clause or word of the article?
19100Is every man that sins against the covenant to be accounted a covenant- breaker, and a perjured sacrilegious person?
19100Is it a respect to prelacy that hinders thee, O Scotland?
19100Is it a respect to the king?
19100Is it a respect to the novations already come into Scotland?
19100Is it all but a story with interest, however thrilling, for the study of the antiquarian?
19100Is it in superstition?
19100Is it not prelacy?
19100Is it not the chief desire of the holy apostles, that we"should all speak the same things, and that there should be no division amongst us?"
19100Is it not the happiness of a city, to be at unity with itself?
19100Is it not the preservation of religion, where it is reformed, and the reformation of religion, where it needs?
19100Is it not this, because it hath a strong foundation, a double, impregnable foundation?
19100Is not the Holy Bible by some rather wrested than read?
19100Is not unity amongst Christians one of the strongest arguments to persuade the world to believe in Christ?
19100Is not unity the happiness of heaven?
19100Is that it indeed which bears away the bell of_ jure divino_?
19100Is the whole prolonged struggle, with all its chequered scenes, but a panorama on which spectators may gaze with but passing emotions?
19100Is there any soul in this house this day, that is filled with the love of Christ?
19100Is there any soul that is seeking unto Him in earnest?
19100Is there any that can adorn and prepare himself to approach unto God, without God?
19100It is a denial with disdain;"should I?"
19100It is said,"The sinners in Zion are afraid; who shall dwell with everlasting torments?
19100It will be said, What ails you?
19100Job was probably sometimes seduced with such foolish persuasions, to courses not less foolish, but he yielded not: what helped him?

19100My good people, beloved in Christ, have ye nothing to contribute for this work?
19100Nay, canst thou be a party for Him?
19100Nay,"Shall the thing formed say to Him that formed it, Why hast Thou made me thus?"
19100Now the question is, Whether it be safer to stop it up than to guard it?
19100Now, if your leases and covenants among men be either lame or forfeited; need men persuade you to have them renewed and perfected?
19100Now, is there any of you but ye are obleist( obliged) to be holy?
19100Now,"Who are these that are invited to the marriage?"
19100O Lord of hosts, and King of kings, who can stand out against Thee?
19100O then he will cry out with Isaiah,"Lord, who believes my report, and to whom has the arm of the Lord been made naked?
19100Or, can we indeed love or promote a reformation, and in the mean time countenance or conceal the enemies of it?
19100Or, have ye not such substance as the vallies?
19100Or, how may we perform this service so that it may be"an everlasting covenant, that may never be forgotten?"
19100Or, upon what considerations we may be persuaded to undertake this service?
19100Ought we not to be greatly humbled before Him?
19100Our God is a consuming fire, and we are as stubble before Him; who can stand before His indignation?
19100Peace is a precious jewel, but who can value truth?
19100Perpetuity?
19100Says not the covenant enough for the maintenance of the king?
19100Shall I pass you that are commons?
19100Shall civil and religious liberty be saved from captivity by tyrants on the throne?
19100Shall the crawling worm and the pickle of small dust fight against the King of kings?
19100Shall we not walk cheerfully?
19100Shewing the impossibility in man to begin the action:"I will cause him to draw nigh; for who is this, that hath engaged his heart?"
19100Should not ye have lain at His door, and scraped, if ye could not knock?
19100Should not ye have sought unto Him first, with ropes about your necks, with sackcloth upon your loins, and with tears in your eyes?
19100Should they deal with His people as murderers and malefactors, and we not draw out His sword against them?
19100Should they deal with our God as an idol?
19100Some having nothing else to say, yet can not withhold to question, whether the Scots will enter into it or no?
19100That are very indifferent which side prevail, so they may have their trading again?
19100That is, how shall I do this?
19100The Lord forbid such a thing:"for, how shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?"
19100The inquiry into both, who is this?
19100The inquiry,"who is this?"
19100The question I put to you is this: How often have you broken covenant with God?
19100The reformation of religion in the kingdoms of England and Ireland?
19100The second thing in this great mountain is this, It is a mountain reproved:"Who art thou, O great mountain?
19100Then is it not the Lord who enters in covenant with thee, and says, I will remember thy sins no more?
19100There is a fourth, who profess they acknowledge a king; but despise him in their heart, saying"Shall this man save us?"
19100They have been burdensome in all ages; what opposites in England have they been to our kings, till their interests were changed?
19100They which single, blessed be God, have yet such strength, how strong may they be when conjoined?
19100This makes God complain,"What iniquity have your fathers found in Me, that they have gone far from Me?"
19100Those who rise against kings in open rebellion, as Absalom and Sheba, who said,"What have we to do with David, the son of Jesse?
19100To utter what?
19100To what end?
19100To whom shall I speak then?
19100Tobiah and Sanballat gnaw their tongues, laugh and despise us, saying,"What is this ye do?
19100Upon what warrant?
19100Was it only a jest?
19100Was not unity one of the chief parts of Christ''s prayer unto His Father, when He was here upon the earth?

19100_ BY THOMAS CASE._ I come now to the third query, how?
19100_ BY THOMAS COLEMAN._"For who is this, that engaged his heart to approach unto Me, saith the Lord?"
19100_ I did see._ Which of us, brethren, hath not his heart yet rejoicing, but even to think upon this work, this last Monday in this place?
19100_ Obj._ But what, if the exorbitances be purged away, may not I, notwithstanding my oath, admit of a regulated prelacy?
19100_ Obj._ What if one make a party to uphold prelacy, whilst it stands by law, must I oppose him, or discover him by virtue of this oath?
19100_ Object._ Aye, but there be that will tell us, these have been the faults of the persons, and not of the calling?
19100_ Object._ How can we swear the extirpation of these, since, who shall be judge?
19100_ Objection._ We have oblished ourselves by our subscription already; what then needs us to obleish ourselves over again by our oath?
19100_ Quest._ But some will say,"How shall I do to get up my heart to this high pitch, that I may be a covenant- keeper?"
19100_ Quest._ How are their servants treated?
19100_ Third_, Inquire diligently at your own hearts, whether they come up to the terms of this covenant?
19100and how many have smarted their proof unto us?
19100and this covenant will be stedfast and uniform unto us, why should not we resolve to be so too, and in this covenant?
19100and what concord hath Christ and Belial?"
19100and( 2) Perpetuity?
19100but my sins are many, how can the Lord look upon me or pardon me?
19100even his engagement:"I have made a covenant with mine eyes, how then shall I look on a maid?"

19100how Zechariah was slain between the porch and the altar?
19100how comes it to pass, that thou art so much slighted and contemned?
19100how sweet was a fasting day?
19100how well doth this become the children of such a father, who hath styled Himself the Father of mercies?
19100is it not true?"
19100made Him and His ways his meat and drink, yea more than his ordinary food?
19100or, to strengthen it while he keeps the sinews of it close shut up?
19100our prophets have prophesied lies, and our priests have pleaded for Baal, and they have rejected the word of the Lord; and what wisdom is in them?
19100to amend myself, and all in my power, and to go before others in the example of a real reformation?
19100what shall we have?
19100where is the man that hath made restitution of his ill- gotten goods since he took this covenant?
19100who but a papist the second?
19100who but an oppressor, or a rebel, the third?
19100who but light and empty men, unstable as water, the sixth?
19100who but men of fortune, desperate cavaliers, the fifth?

14139But,you say,"suppose his name goes down under the hoof of scorn and contempt?"
14139But,you say,"suppose his store burns up?"
14139Lord, is it I? 14139 Oh, when, thou city of my God, Shall I thy courts ascend?
14139Suppose his physical health fails?
14139Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars?
14139Well,said the minister,"would n''t you like to have me pray with you?"
14139Well,you say,"I have been driven out of that tower; where shall I go?"
14139What are you waiting here for?
14139What do you mean?
14139What,say you,"ca n''t a man be saved without going to church?"
14139Where did your grandfather die?
14139Where did your great- grandfather die?
14139Wherefore do the wicked live?
14139Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah, mighty to save?
14139Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
14139Who knoweth whether thou art come to the kingdom for such a time as this?
14139Why are you here?
14139''Is that all?
14139A few nights later, while crossing the ferry, she overheard the name of her employer in the conversation of girls who stood near:''What, John Snipes?
14139A paragraph from their report:"''Can you make Mr. Jones pay me?
14139About to jump, where will you land?
14139After death seizes upon that soul, is there no resurrection?
14139And can it be possible that our eternity is dependent upon the healthy action of that which can be so easily destroyed?
14139And the soul will cry:"Is this forever?"
14139And then, when the bread is passed around, they taste of it skeptically and inquiringly, as much as to say:"Is it bread?
14139And who will say, on earth or in Heaven, that Havelock had not the right to preach?
14139And will He take care of the sparrow, will He take care of the hawk, and let you die?
14139Are not those of you who are in the third class ready to pass over into the second division, and become seekers after Christ?
14139Are not women as sharp as men on washer- women and milliners and mantua- makers?
14139Are the clerks in your store irate against the firm?
14139Are there any here who would like to enter into that association?
14139Are there two destinies?
14139Are we to go through the slaughter?
14139Are you all fed?
14139Are you doing nothing?
14139Are you ready for the emergency?
14139Are you ready to join with me in some new work for Christ?
14139Are you to blame?
14139As it was even- time he said to his wife:"Have you lighted the candles?"
14139As soon as it came within speaking distance the people on the shore cried out:"Did you save any of them?
14139Ask the day of judgment when her crowned debauchees, Commodus and Pertinax, and Caligula and Diocletian, shall answer for their infamy?
14139Ay, are you not ready to pass over into the first division, and become the pardoned sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty?
14139Because their own personal expenses are lavish?
14139Because they are avaricious?
14139But are there no truths to be uttered in regard to this great evil?
14139But as money is not a lawful tender, what is?
14139But do you know what made the ancient deluge a necessity?
14139But hear you not the tramp of your unpardoned sins all around the tower?
14139But how shall Abimelech and his army take this temple of Berith and the men who are there fortified?
14139But suppose you do not keep it?
14139But what is all that commotion and flutter, and surging to and fro above Him and on either side of Him?
14139But what shall be the destiny of the latter?
14139But where is the king?
14139But why talk of refuge?
14139But will the monument to Him who died for the eternal liberation of the human race ever be completed?
14139But you say,"Have n''t people lived on in complete use of it to old age?"
14139But, you say,"What is the use of all these harvest- fields to Ruth and Naomi?
14139By what principle of justice is it that women in many of our cities get only two thirds as much pay as men, and in many cases only half?
14139By what weapon?
14139Can a million wrongs make one right?
14139Can it be possible that heaven can not buy you in?
14139Can one speckled and bad apple in a barrel of diseased apples turn the other apples good?
14139Can those who are themselves down help others up?
14139Can those who have themselves failed in the business of the soul pay the debts of their spiritual insolvents?
14139Can you be without emotion as the Sun of Righteousness rises behind Calvary, and sets behind Joseph''s sepulcher?
14139Can you do such a shocking thing as that?
14139Can you have any doubt about who it is on the seat on the judgment day?
14139Can you imagine anything more unimportant than the coming of a poor woman from Moab to Judah?
14139Did it make you gloomy and sad?
14139Did not a meteor run on evangelistic errand on the first Christmas night, and designate the rough cradle of our Lord?
14139Did not the stars in their courses fight against Sisera?
14139Did the distress heal them?
14139Did the world come in to stand by his death- bed, and clearing off the vials of bitter medicine, put down any compensation?
14139Did they not try to divorce Margaret, the Scotch girl, from Jesus?
14139Did you ever put your forefingers on its eternal pulses?
14139Did you ever read De Quincey''s"Confessions of an Opium- Eater?"
14139Did you go with your head cast down?
14139Did you save any of them?"
14139Did you think that your soul was a mere trinket which for a few pennies you could buy in a toy shop?
14139Did you think that your soul was short- lived, and that, panting, it would soon lie down for extinction?
14139Did you think that your soul, if once lost, might be found again if you went out with torches and lanterns?
14139Did you, my brother, ever measure the meaning of that one passage:"Behold, I stand at the door and knock"?
14139Do n''t remember them, eh?
14139Do n''t you know that with some persons there is a tide in their spiritual natures which, if taken at the flood, leads on to salvation?
14139Do n''t you want to go in with such a rabble?
14139Do not women, as much as men, beat down to the lowest figure the woman who sews for them?
14139Do you believe that?
14139Do you believe that?
14139Do you believe that?
14139Do you expect me to take that pardon offered with such a voice as you have, with such an awkward manner as you have?
14139Do you hear that?
14139Do you know how it is made?
14139Do you know where Sheba was?
14139Do you know who Supply and Demand are?
14139Do you not feel the swellings of the great oceanic tides of Divine mercy?
14139Do you not see the troops?
14139Do you realize this?
14139Do you remember all those lapses in conduct?
14139Do you remember all those opprobrious words and thoughts and actions?
14139Do you say that I swing open the gate of heaven too far?
14139Do you want history?
14139Do you want logic?
14139Do you want poetry?
14139Does it not seem as if his volume of infamy were complete?
14139Does it not seem as if the last fifty years would make an appropriate peroration?
14139Does it reform him?
14139Far on in the ages one lost soul shall cry out to another lost soul:"How long have you been here?"
14139Fifteen, twenty, forty, sixty years?
14139For fun?
14139For what are you taking it?
14139From what land did you come?
14139Furthermore, let me ask why a chance should be given in the next world if we have refused innumerable chances in this?
14139Give us another chance"?
14139Great God, is life such an uncertain thing?
14139Had he lost his patience?
14139Had he resigned his confidence in the Christian religion?
14139Had the world treated him so badly that he had become its sworn enemy?
14139Happy?
14139Happy?
14139Happy?
14139Happy?
14139Happy?
14139Has he a right to expect to be invited after all the indignities he has done you?
14139Has he found any new elixir?
14139Have I held back any truth, though it were plain, though it were unpalatable?
14139Have not pains shot their poisoned arrows, and fevers kindled their fire in your brain?
14139Have they been used for the elevation of society or for its depression?
14139Have we not the Lord Almighty on our side?
14139Have you any idea that sin will wear out?
14139Have you ever imagined what will be the soliloquy of the soul on that day unpardoned, as it looks back upon its past life?
14139Have you ever tried it?
14139Have you given one half day to the working out of your salvation with fear and trembling?
14139Have you made any effort, any expenditure, any exertion for your immortal and spiritual health?
14139Have you never felt the quiver of its peerless wing?
14139Have you no idea of the coming of such a time?
14139Have you not noticed that God harnesses men, bad men, and accomplishes good through them?
14139Have you nothing better than money to leave your children?
14139He says,"Shall I stop the mill, or shall I run it on half time, or shall I cut down the men''s wages?"
14139He says:"Do you remember those chances you had for heaven, and missed them?
14139Hear you not all the trumpets of heaven and all the drums of hell?
14139Hear you not the welcome of those who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us?
14139His old comrades came in and said as they bent over his corpse:"What is the matter with you, Boggsey?"
14139How are these evils to be eradicated?
14139How can a man stand in the pulpit and preach on the subject of temperance when he is indulging such a habit as that?
14139How could you do so?
14139How dare the Christian Church ever get discouraged?
14139How darest thou sleep in harvest- time and with so few hours in which to reap?
14139How do I know it?
14139How do you feel toward that spiritual fraud, turpitude and perfidy?
14139How long did it take God to slay the hosts of Sennacherib or burn Sodom or shake down Jericho?
14139How long have you, my brother, lived unforgiven?
14139How long will it take God, when He once arises in His strength, to overthrow all the forces of iniquity?
14139How much robustness of health would a man have if he hid himself in a dark closet?
14139How shall it be taken?
14139How shall this great multitude be supplied?
14139How then?
14139I can not help now, while preaching, asking myself the question-- Am I ready for that?
14139I do not blame you for asking me the quivering, throbbing, burning, resounding, appalling question of my text,"Wherefore do the wicked live?"
14139I go a little further on the same road and meet a trumpeter of heaven, and I say:"Have n''t you got some music for a tired pilgrim?"
14139I said to one of the intelligent men of Ireland:"Tell me in a few words what are the sufferings of Ireland, and what is the Land Relief enactment?"
14139I see a man rising in that great crowd and asking:"Is there any one here who has bread or meat?"
14139I start out on this King''s highway, and I find a harper, and I say:"What is your name?"
14139I wonder what proportion of this audience will be saved?
14139If I bear a little too hard with my right foot on the earth, does it break through into the grave?
14139If a man topples off the edge of life, is there nothing to break his fall?
14139If a woman asks a dollar for her work, does not her female employer ask her if she will not take ninety cents?
14139If an impenitent man goes overboard, are there no grappling- hooks to hoist him into safety?
14139If anything is purchased and paid for, ought not the goods to be delivered?
14139If you are on the right side, to what cavalry troop, to what artillery service, to what garrison duty do you belong?
14139If you have bought property and given the money, do you not want to come into possession of it?
14139If, then, we are to be compelled to go out of this world, where are we to go to?
14139In other words, in what Sabbath- school do you teach?
14139Is it I?"
14139Is it all true?
14139Is it not fair that you love Him?
14139Is it not imperative that you love Him?
14139Is it not right that you love Him?
14139Is it possible that a man or woman sworn to be a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ is doing nothing?
14139Is it to frighten your soul?
14139Is it to help him back to a moral and spiritual life?
14139Is not that plain?
14139Is that so?
14139Is that the kind of society that reforms a man and prepares him for heaven?
14139Is there a God?
14139Is there a divergence now between the parlor and the kitchen?
14139Is there enough muscle in your arm for such a combat?
14139Is there no help?
14139Is there no way out?"
14139Is there not an old Book somewhere that commands us to go out into the highways and the hedges and compel the people to come in?
14139Is this a mere statement of a preacher whose business it is to talk morals, or is the testimony of the world just as emphatic?
14139Is this plea all in vain?
14139Is this world, which swings at the speed of thousands of miles an hour around the sun, going with tenfold more speed toward the judgment- day?
14139Lend you a shilling?
14139Lovely?
14139Messages that say:"When are you coming home to see us?
14139Must He take another darling child from your household?
14139Must He take another installment from your worldly estate?
14139Must I meet you there, oh, you dying but immortal auditory?
14139Must life come upon you with sorrow after sorrow, and smite you down with sickness before you will be moved, and before you will feel?
14139My friends, my neighbors, what can I say to induce you to attend to this matter-- to attend to it now?
14139My little child, seven years of age, said to her mother one day,"Why do n''t God kill the devil at once, and have done with it?"
14139Need I tell a cultured audience like this that there is no other name given among men by which ye can be saved?
14139Now what is the use of my discussing it any more?
14139Now, where is this to begin?
14139Oh, impenitent soul, have you ever tried the power of prayer?
14139Oh, man and woman, have you not learned that like vultures, like hawks, like eagles, riches have wings and fly away?
14139Oh, men of the strong arm and the stout heart, what use are you making of your physical forces?
14139Oh, must God come upon you in some other way?
14139Oh, my brother, what possessed you that you should part with your soul so cheap?
14139Oh, why do you not put out your arm and reach it?
14139Oh, would it not be better for us to get our nature through the Grace of Christ revolutionized and transfigured?
14139Oh, ye pursued, sinning, dying, troubled, exhausted souls, are you not ready now to hear me while I tell you of Christ, the Refuge?
14139Oh, ye who have tried this world, is it a satisfactory portion?
14139Old age?
14139On what battle- field, my brothers?
14139Only one test-- do you love Jesus?
14139Or for all eternity where would you be?
14139Or had you no idea what your soul was worth?
14139Ought not the apostle to know?
14139Ought you not give him freedom of choice?"
14139Out of so dark a night did there ever dawn so bright a morning?
14139Out of this audience to- day, how many will get to the shore of heaven?
14139Pay?
14139People cried out,"Who ever heard of such theories of ethics and government?
14139Really, is it bread?"
14139Roll over me with all thy surges, ye oceans of sorrow"?
14139Ruth going into that harvest- field might have said:"There is a straw, and there is a straw, but what is a straw?
14139Shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?"
14139Shall I give an account for what I have told you to- night?
14139Shall I tell you when your death hour will come?
14139Shall any man or woman or child in this audience who has ever suffered for another find it hard to understand this Christly suffering for us?
14139Shall it rise into the companionship of the white- robed, whose sins Christ has slain?
14139Shall you, His child, rush in to criticise or arraign or condemn the divine government?
14139She coaxes him again, and says:"Now tell me the secret of this great strength?"
14139She said to Wellington:"Can there nothing good be said of this man?"
14139She said:"Are you not going to pay me?"
14139She took up the death- warrant, and it trembled in her hand as she again asked:"Does no one know anything good of this man?"
14139Some one said to him,"What are you listening for?"
14139Speak, dying Christian-- what light do you see?
14139Spinola said to Sir Horace Vere:"Of what did your brother die?"
14139Standing before some who shall be launched into the great eternity, what are your equipments?
14139The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
14139The debt is paid, and the receipt is handed to you, written in the blood of the Son of God-- will you have it?
14139The employer says:"I hear you are going to leave me?"
14139The entire kingdom of the morally bankrupt by themselves, where are the salvatory influences to come from?
14139The happiest, and the brightest, and the fairest in all heaven-- who are they?"
14139The man turned to the other, and said:"Where did your father die?"
14139The men whose life- time work is the study of the science of health say so, and shall I set up my opinion against theirs?
14139The question is asked:"Is there any good about this man?"
14139The servants come rushing up and say:"What''s the matter?
14139The tenant goes on improving his property, and after awhile I come around and I say to my agent,''How much rent is this man paying?''
14139The workman looks around to his comrades, and says:"Boys, what do you say to this?
14139The world clapped its hands and stamped its feet in honor of Charles Lamb; but what does he say?
14139Then chariots and horses of fire racing up and down the heavens; then perfect day:"Who is she that cometh forth as the morning?"
14139Then have you forgotten the last half of my text?
14139Then you have a soul, have you?
14139There is n''t anything like the Bible for a dying soldier, is there, my comrade?"
14139There is not enough food in all the village for this crowd; besides that, who has the money to pay for it?
14139There was a gentleman riding by on a horse, and he stopped and said to this corporal,"Why do n''t you help them lift?
14139They come bounding toward me, and I say:"Who are they?
14139They look as if they had rusted from sea- spray; and I say to the maiden of Israel:"Have you no song for a tired pilgrim?"
14139Though you should be successful in leaving a competency behind you, the trickery of executors may swamp it in a night?
14139To- morrow?
14139To- night?
14139Toward that bridal Jerusalem are our windows opened?
14139WHY ARE SATAN AND SIN PERMITTED?
14139Was it merely coincidental that before the destruction of Jerusalem the moon was eclipsed for twelve consecutive nights?
14139Was n''t it strange?"
14139Was there ever such a convocation of pictures, bronzes, of bric- Ã  -brac, of grandeurs, social grandeurs?
