34632 | Do n''t you see how generally persons of your years are passed over and left in the present remarkable and wonderful dispensation of God''s mercy? |

12282 | But how remedy the evil? 12282 From what book shall I read?" |
12282 | I beseech you to tell me, Socrates,said Phaedrus,"do you believe this tale?" |
12282 | Was not this my saying when I was yet in my country? 12282 What do I love when I love Thee?" |
12282 | ***** How shall we thus rightly read the Bible, for ethical and spiritual upbuilding? |
12282 | ***** It is a matter of perfect indifference where a thing originated the only question is; Is it true in and for itself? |
12282 | 1300(?) |
12282 | Again I hear a voice from the pews-- Who then save a scholar is competent for such a use of the Bible? |
12282 | Are we to quake in our shoes when a few ciphers are cut off from the roll of Israel''s impossible armies? |
12282 | But you say, Do not the Old Testament prophets surely point on to Christ? |
12282 | By the mind of God manifest in''the express image of His person?'' |
12282 | Can we improve upon their ritual? |
12282 | Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? |
12282 | Deeper than hell; what canst thou know? |
12282 | Had the ancient promise of prophecy failed? |
12282 | Had this been the case, where would the ethical forces of a new and higher life have risen? |
12282 | Have we good grounds for accepting it as such? |
12282 | Have you discovered the Bible? |
12282 | How could such a sublime conception as that of Moses have ripened in a people at this stage of their development? |
12282 | How many Bible Christians know their Bible thus? |
12282 | How restore to the communities their old rights and privileges, without unduly trenching upon rights and possessions that had since been acquired? |
12282 | I might have a rational explanation.... Now I have certainly not time for such inquiries; shall I tell you why? |
12282 | I no longer believe as I was taught about it: what, then, can I teach them?" |
12282 | I. Wherein lies this commanding rank of the Bible in the literature of ethical and spiritual power? |

12282 | The great Mother sings to herself: But he, the man- child glorious, Where tarries he the while? |
12282 | The question is, in no case,''Will you part with any utterance of God''s voice, whether through apostle or evangelist?'' |

12282 | Who that has read Taine''s graphic portraiture of the Elizabethan age can fail ever thereafter to see Shakespeare stand forth vividly? |

12282 | Who that reads the story of the coming of the Hebrew Christ can doubt it? |
12282 | Who would think of an indiscriminate use of the original Shakespeare? |

12282 | Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, Or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? |
12282 | Within the body of human"letters"have you found out the divine soul of the Bible? |
12282 | Yea, even for the living God: When shall I come to appear before the presence of God? |
12282 | [ 27] How then are we to know what words and deeds express the mind of God, are words of the Lord, examples He presents for our imitation? |
12282 | but only,''Is this particular word, or sentence, or passage, truly such an utterance? |
12282 | or can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?'' |
26441 | ''But where is your stove?'' 26441 Am I my brother''s keeper?" |
26441 | Am I my brother''s keeper? |
26441 | ''And may I ask what you were thinking about?'' |
26441 | ''But where do you cook your food?'' |
26441 | ''It must be very hard work?'' |
26441 | ''Well, Annie, how do you make a living now?'' |
26441 | --can anybody well get along with all this, without Religion? |
26441 | And are they not both struggling with the realities of life, and moved by quenchless desires, and looking up into the same infinite mystery? |
26441 | And have n''t I been working all the time to fetch in something to eat, and for the fire, and for clothes? |
26441 | And have you ever looked into this matter of crime? |
26441 | And if it is asked--"Why are they not equal?" |
26441 | And what are we, that we dare to cherish this exclusive horror, this pitiless, unrelenting scorn? |
26441 | And whither do they retire at night?" |
26441 | And who can estimate their influence over these busy tides of action, all day long? |
26441 | And who does not perceive how much the character of that influence must depend upon the condition of those homes? |
26441 | And why delineate the features of that other class of homes, whose most significant word is"_ Privation_?" |
26441 | And will not its votaries find now, as then, that it entices with the embrace of death and the fascination of hell? |
26441 | And, doubtless, you have sometimes busied yourself with the speculation--"Where do all these people come from? |
26441 | And, surely, it becomes each of us to consider the tendencies of his own example, and ask--"Is it toward the right or the wrong? |
26441 | And, surely, it is no vain speculation that inquires--"What are they? |
26441 | And, therefore, is not any practice which serves these, a service of God? |
26441 | And, with all this, may we not expect that fierce instinct of selfishness which overwhelms every other impulse, and breaks out in crime? |
26441 | Are not the just, the useful, the beautiful, from God, as well as the good and the holy? |
26441 | Art thou become like unto us?" |
26441 | Art thou become like unto us?" |
26441 | Ask_ Yourself_--"Need he have gone outside this very door to find temptation?" |
26441 | But are these forms of life, is your presence here or mine, any more substantial than those that have sunk away? |
26441 | But how can we regulate an irregularity? |
26441 | But is there nothing but this to explain the power which evil has upon men, in the midst of the great city? |
26441 | But is this really the best plan? |
26441 | But suppose we make the system a strict one, what process should be employed? |
26441 | But what is the precise sentence to be passed upon this prevalent luxury? |
26441 | But, my friends, what do we mean by"public sanction,"or"public neglect?" |
26441 | But, really, one of the most practical questions that can be asked is--"_Why_ is this one, or that one, a criminal?" |
26441 | China, India, Africa, will you not find their features in some circles of the social world right around you? |
26441 | Did it not bear the same Circean cup through the halls of Nineveh and Babylon, and fling CÃ ¦ sars and Alexanders to the ground? |
26441 | Did it not wear the same seductive smile and harlot tinsel when it walked the streets of Tyre, and reclined in the decorated chambers of Egypt? |
26441 | Did n''t He take away my father since before I can remember him? |
26441 | Do I say that the guilt should be imputed to the condition-- that it is all owing to circumstances? |
26441 | Do you think these were made of better texture than those who blacken and fester yonder? |
26441 | For, let me ask, who among these crowds of citizens are really honored? |
26441 | For, whence issues any such thing as_ virtue_, except out of the temptation and antagonism of vice? |
26441 | How can you regulate an obstruction that is involved with the springs of a machine, or the works of a clock? |
26441 | I ask-- what made our Revolution legitimate? |
26441 | If, on the other hand, they are a benefit to mankind; a good gift of Providence, as some seem to think; why should we hamper their circulation? |
26441 | In other words, let us inquire-- in what way do respectable and harmless people, as they deem themselves, become Allies of the Tempter? |
26441 | Into what retreats do the elements of this busy crowd dissolve, night after night?" |
26441 | Is it for, or against the good?" |
26441 | Is it not the same old guilt, the same sophistry and foolishness, here in New York, that it always has been? |
26441 | Is not all the spring of benevolent effort, then, in this single proposition of Religion? |
26441 | Is not the effect of miracle in the electric wire? |
26441 | Nay, all this splendid civilization, what is it but a sparkling ripple in the calm eternity of God? |
26441 | Need I paint the costume and the scenery, and describe the sad and awful drama in which these children play their parts? |
26441 | On the contrary, is not Freedom that old truth, that conceded premise that does_ not_ agitate? |
26441 | Or do you know it only as a monstrous fact in the social mechanism, and in the records of human nature? |
26441 | Or, take the following instance, which I extract from the Records of one of the Benevolent Societies of our own city:"Can you read or write? |
26441 | Shall it be so with this Republic, because false to its ideal? |
26441 | Stepping up to him I said--''Well, my boy, you seem to enjoy the fun very much; but why do n''t you lay down your load of sticks?''... |
26441 | Strike it out of existence to- day, and what would be the condition of the world to- morrow? |
26441 | Sufficient evidence of sin and folly in those who do this, to be sure; but in what way do these allurements present themselves? |
26441 | The bell beats; and what old bugle- strain, what pibroch, what rattling drum, ever sounded a more perilous call? |
26441 | The field for precedence is it not a broad one, and close at hand? |
26441 | The printing- press was not absolutely necessary to Nimrod, or to Julius CÃ ¦ sar, but is it not absolutely necessary now? |
26441 | The printing- press, is it not the gift of tongues? |
26441 | There are times when our thoughts rise above all specific instances, and we take up humanity and existence as a whole, and ask--"What means it all?" |
26441 | War and Captivity in the midst of peace and refinement-- is it not, my friends? |
26441 | Was it not for freedom, based upon the conception of the right and supremacy of freedom? |
26441 | What are the resources and entrenchments of these vices, by which they act upon human appetite and passion? |
26441 | What interpretation should we obtain from the dark creed of the skeptic, what inspiration from the philosophy of annihilation, and of fate? |
26441 | What shall stay it? |
26441 | What were the central ideas that throbbed in the breasts of its heroes and martyrs? |
26441 | Who does not see that not only the interest of the common humanity in its most intimate experiences attaches to them, but the interest of community? |
26441 | Why should we allow one man the privilege of distributing such a blessing, and forbid another who, no doubt, is equally zealous for the public good? |
26441 | Why, who needs to be told of the potency of this our earliest school, to say nothing of other influences, if only a faithful_ mother_ presides there? |
26441 | You may ask--"Who has tempted even my very child?" |
26441 | and do we not discover a counterpart to that saddest feature of all in such circumstances-- a desecration even of the parental instinct? |
26441 | did the Jew behold any hosts more terrible pressing into Jerusalem, than you and I might see if we looked about us? |
26441 | does it not make Dives look very much like Lazarus, and show our common weakness, and reveal the common marvel of this"harp of thousand strings?" |
26441 | were men ever bound by a darker chain, or trampled by a harder heel, than those victims of destitution and of their own passions? |
60915 | AM I THEREFORE BECOME YOUR ENEMY, BECAUSE I TELL YOU THE TRUTH? |
60915 | Am I therefore become your Enemy, because I tell you the Truth? |
60915 | And Araunah said, Wherefore is my lord the king come unto his servant? |
60915 | HAVE I BEEN SO LONG TIME WITH YOU, AND YET HAST THOU NOT KNOWN ME, PHILIP? |
60915 | Hath CHRIST, then, been so long time with thee, and yet hast thou not known him? |
60915 | Have I been so long Time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? |
60915 | Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? |
60915 | Lo, I have sinned, and I have done wickedly: but these sheep, what have they done? |
60915 | To whom shall I go? |
60915 | To whom shouldst thou go, but to JESUS CHRIST? 60915 What kind of a Saviour then is it, for whom all nature thus cries aloud, through all her works? |
60915 | Why WILL YE die, O house of Israel? 60915 Will ye also go away?" |
60915 | --Is it so, thou Blessed Apostle? |
60915 | Against the united efforts of such formidable enemies, where shall we find armour of sufficient proof? |
60915 | And are these the blessings, by which thou art to be distinguished from the rest of thy sex? |
60915 | And can these men be said to"prosper in whatsoever they do?" |
60915 | And canst thou not, O Christian, have as much Faith in thy SAVIOUR, as one frail mortal has in another? |
60915 | And now, my brethren, is not such a Knowledge of GOD worth possessing? |
60915 | And what is it that hinders us from having such a view of our real misery? |
60915 | Are not their souls as much bowed down by the weight of their sinful nature, as their bodies by temporal evils and infirmities? |
60915 | Are they not often destitute of spiritual as well as of worldly comforts? |
60915 | But are not many good men afflicted inwardly, as well as outwardly? |
60915 | But didst thou ever attend to the true and only means, by which the Scriptures have assured thee this conquest may be obtained? |
60915 | But here the grand question may be asked-- How doth GOD manifest himself to his creatures? |
60915 | But how is this privilege to be obtained? |
60915 | But if GOD is willing to save all, Why are not all saved? |
60915 | But in what manner was the appearance of this illustrious Babe made known to the world? |
60915 | But shall their conduct have the least influence upon yours? |
60915 | But what could oppress or afflict the heart of the Meek and Innocent JESUS? |
60915 | But where are the ensigns of royalty? |
60915 | But where is his happiness all the while? |
60915 | For, who that looks upon his work as already done, will chuse to labour any longer? |
60915 | Hast thou never coveted, been jealous, angry, revengeful, bitter, and implacable? |
60915 | Hast thou never felt thyself swoln with pride, or burning with envy? |
60915 | Hast thou so? |
60915 | He cries aloud for help?--"What shall I do to be saved?" |
60915 | Here then a serious and inquiring mind may be ready to ask-- How is this BLESSED REDEEMER to become my Righteousness? |
60915 | How sayest thou then, shew us the Father?" |
60915 | I then concluded with asking you, whether such a Knowledge of GOD as I had been describing, was not worth your possessing? |
60915 | In a conflict so long and arduous, where shall we meet with such supplies of strength, as will enable us to contend and finally to overcome? |
60915 | Indeed,"to whom shall we go?" |
60915 | Is this to be"highly favoured?" |
60915 | Must thy spotless Babe, at the very instant of his birth, enter upon his Labour of Love? |
60915 | My business was to plant, Apollos''s to water; but what could it avail to plant or to water, unless GOD gave the increase? |
60915 | Need I, therefore, now call upon you to put in your claim to this vast inheritance? |
60915 | Now, what is Faith? |
60915 | Now, who can deny, that sickness, pain, sorrow and affliction, have in their very nature this tendency? |
60915 | O why, my brethren, why will ye"spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which satisfieth not?" |
60915 | Shall we suffer the Child of GOD, the Redeemed of the HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, to be taken captive by the armies of aliens? |
60915 | Shall we then tamely suffer these Rights of Heaven to be invaded by the powers of darkness? |
60915 | THEN SAID JESUS UNTO THE TWELVE, WILL YE ALSO GO AWAY? |
60915 | THEN SAID JESUS UNTO THE TWELVE, WILL YE ALSO GO AWAY? |
60915 | TO WHOM SHALL WE GO? |
60915 | TO WHOM SHALL WE GO? |
60915 | The awakened sinner"looks up and lifts up his head, for his redemption draweth nigh"--looks up to Heaven-- For what? |
60915 | The plain and obvious meaning of which is undoubtedly this: Hath GOD favoured me with such an astonishing deliverance? |
60915 | Then Simon Peter answered, LORD, to whom shall we go? |
60915 | Then said JESUS unto the Twelve, Will ye also go away? |
60915 | Thus, for instance, the covetous man grasps, and saves, and fills his coffers-- for what? |
60915 | Was each of us to be asked, in a serious and solemn manner, Are you really happy? |
60915 | Was it not by those very sufferings, which seem so diametrically opposite to this triumphant state? |
60915 | Well, but say some, How can this be? |
60915 | What a senseless doctrine this, that would shut us out from all the joys, which earth holds forth for our acceptance?" |
60915 | What have we to do with evil spirits, or possessions, at this day? |
60915 | What was it, but an humble acknowledgment of his own spiritually helpless and indigent condition? |
60915 | What, but that fascinating charm, which these very spirits throw before our eyes to deceive us? |
60915 | When"all things are yours,"why will you take up with the scanty provisions which a poor perishing nature can give? |
60915 | Whence is it then, O sinner, that, though thy SAVIOUR hath been so long time"with thee, yet hast thou not known him?" |
60915 | Whence is it, though he has made thee such frequent offers of his Love, thou hast still slighted or rejected them? |
60915 | Who amongst us, let me ask, hath not, in innumerable instances, given such a rash and impatient answer to the Servant of GOD within us? |
60915 | Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers, by whom ye believed, even as the LORD gave to every man? |
60915 | Who told thee, that GOD created thee for this world; and that thou art to take up thy rest in that visionary happiness, which thou findest here? |
60915 | Who would not wish, then, to become a votary, a pupil, a child of Wisdom? |
60915 | Why shouldst thou despond in the hour of trial? |
60915 | Why then, O Christian, shouldst thou despair of success? |
60915 | Will ye be intimidated by their flight? |
60915 | Will ye suffer your fidelity and perseverance to be shaken by their evil example? |
60915 | Would you know what these fruits are? |
60915 | and must the stable at Bethlehem be the first scene of that awful drama, which was afterwards closed on the trembling top of Calvary? |
60915 | art thou so strangely blind to thy best interests, so amazingly neglectful of thy real happiness? |
60915 | to whom shall I go?" |
60915 | to whom shall we go? |
60915 | to whom shall we go? |
60915 | we are ready to exclaim-- is it thus, that the promises of the Angel are to be accomplished? |
60915 | what conduct must we observe, that will entitle us to be members of her illustrious household? |
60915 | what kind of sensibility was awakened in you at that happy season?--Was it not a sensibility of Love intense, and Meekness unutterable? |
60915 | what path must we pursue, that will lead us to her delightful mansion? |
60915 | where are the tokens of thy illustrious birth? |
60915 | who told thee, that GOD had given thee such corrupt passions, as now solicit for indulgence? |
60915 | why, with deluded Esau,"will you sell your birth- right for a mess of pottage,"an heavenly for an earthly inheritance? |
23096 | And you believe in God, do you? |
23096 | But_ when_? |
23096 | By whose authority? |
23096 | If God be for us who can be against us? |
23096 | Is Jesus divine? |
23096 | Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? |
23096 | Then 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?" |
23096 | What have they seen in thy house? |
23096 | Why 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? |
23096 | After 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?" |
23096 | And so for those of us whose lives have been such a struggle we cry,"Is there no deliverance?" |
23096 | And then the question came to him as from God,"What do you believe?" |
23096 | And they said, What is that to us? |
23096 | Are there not hundreds and thousands of other men waiting, as the chief justice waited, for some one to speak or write? |
23096 | As 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?" |
23096 | At the day of Pentecost people were saying,"What do these things mean?" |
23096 | But how about the sins of the past? |
23096 | But on the other hand, what if we should simply be faithful? |
23096 | But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste? |
23096 | But"Is there no deliverance that is complete?" |
23096 | Could anything be more inspiring than to know that we have the approval of the Holy Ghost of the things we say or think? |
23096 | Did n''t you notice a fresh little grave near the one with the stone? |
23096 | Do I know when I was converted? |
23096 | Do you reject hell, because it seems to you to be inconceivable? |
23096 | Do you think for a moment that those who gaze at us would imagine that we had the least conviction that people away from Christ were lost? |
23096 | Does your life parallel God''s law or cross it? |
23096 | Finally they met, and the infidel with a sneer said,"So you believe the Bible, do you?" |
23096 | For 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?" |
23096 | For this day we hope and pray and cry aloud,"O Lord, how long, how long?" |
23096 | For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? |
23096 | God 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''?" |
23096 | Has he not said,"Ye shall receive power"? |
23096 | Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?" |
23096 | Have we failed to take both? |
23096 | Have you ever seen a perfect rainbow-- that is, a rainbow in a perfect circle? |
23096 | Have you ever stopped to think what is really associated with the full acceptance of the third Person of the Trinity? |
23096 | He granted Saul of Tarsus a vision of himself as he approached Damascus until he cried,"Who art thou?" |
23096 | He then lying on Jesus''breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it? |
23096 | How about your living? |
23096 | How about your testimony? |
23096 | How could we expect them to have the same experience in coming to Christ? |
23096 | How may I be converted? |
23096 | How may I know certainly? |
23096 | How may we know that he is striving? |
23096 | How may we know that the Bible is the word of God? |
23096 | How may we secure such a possession? |
23096 | How then ought we to live? |
23096 | How wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan? |
23096 | I The natural question that comes to every student of the life of Judas must be,"Why was he chosen?" |
23096 | I What is conversion? |
23096 | I What is the striving of the Spirit? |
23096 | I ask you the question, Do you believe in heaven as a place of rewards? |
23096 | I doubt not the question has often come to us,"How can God be just and be the justifier of them that believe?" |
23096 | I found myself becoming unscrupulous in my business life and now I am wrecked, certainly for time-- oh,"said he,"can it be for eternity? |
23096 | I looked the other day into the face of a man who said to me,"Do you know me?" |
23096 | II Have you really taken all that God meant you should have? |
23096 | II How may I be converted? |
23096 | II Why are we not having revelations to- day as we know they have been given at other times? |
23096 | III Did you ever realize that you were standing in the way of the conversion of your friends? |
23096 | III Do you know when you were converted? |
23096 | III Oh, is there no hope? |
23096 | III What would be the consequences of the Spirit ceasing his work? |
23096 | IV How may we know that we have passed from death into life? |
23096 | IV Why should he cease his striving? |
23096 | If these things are true of us-- and they are, according to the Word of God-- then what prospect is there for us but that of eternal punishment? |
23096 | If this is true then what is consecration? |
23096 | In the twenty- first chapter of John the fifth and sixth verses we read,"Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat? |
23096 | Is it not like this with our sins? |
23096 | Is not this written in the book of Jasher? |
23096 | Is such a deliverance as this from individual sins possible? |
23096 | It is indeed a black picture, and with whitened faces and rapidly beating hearts we ask, Is there any hope? |
23096 | It is not giving God something, for how could we give him that which is already his own? |
23096 | It is true that we shall go on from light into darkness, from morning into the night, but is there no final deliverance? |
23096 | It may be that some will say,"Why insist upon conversion when my life is a moral one?" |
23096 | Just what is the burden of this prayer of Paul''s? |
23096 | Man tells the depraved man to change his surroundings; but how about the heart that is unclean? |
23096 | Man tells the sinner to do his best; but how about the will which has been weakened by sinful practices, and which seems unable to act? |
23096 | Napoleon once was asked,"What is the greatest need of the French nation?" |
23096 | Oh, if it be true that the_ way_ of the transgressor is hard, in the name of God what shall we say of the end? |
23096 | Oh, may I say that it is a great sin to be untrue? |
23096 | One man called my attention to it and said,"It is amusing, is n''t it?" |
23096 | Second: Just what, therefore, is this work of sanctification? |
23096 | THE MORNING BREAKETH TEXT:"_ Watchman, what of the night? |
23096 | That is, do you know the exact time? |
23096 | The biography of Helen Kellar[ Transcriber''s note: Keller? |
23096 | The great temperance leader went to speak to him and said"Edward, why do n''t you pray?" |
23096 | The old minister looked at him and said simply,"Well, is that anything to be proud of?" |
23096 | The rest of the verse is a question,"God that justifieth?" |
23096 | The thirty- fourth verse reads,"Who is he that condemneth?" |
23096 | The words"unto them"are in italics, so not in the original, and we ask"added to what?" |
23096 | Then said I, O my Lord, what are these? |
23096 | Then the question for the moralist is this,"Have you ever offended in one point?" |
23096 | Then why not now? |
23096 | They spent the night in the kirk in prayer, when the minister said,"Why not ask God to restore his body?" |
23096 | This appealed to the dying man and he said,"Where shall I read?" |
23096 | V But what must I do to take advantage of all this gracious offer of God? |
23096 | V What is meant by the Spirit not striving? |
23096 | V"_ And the host ran, and cried and fled._"What hosts are against us to- day? |
23096 | Was there ever such a catalogue of mercies? |
23096 | Watts[ Transcriber''s note: Watt?] |
23096 | What hope is there for the moralist when Jesus said,"Except ye be converted"? |
23096 | What if God''s will should be done for but one year in all things in any of our cities; would the result be anything else than perfect joy? |
23096 | What if I had said,"I will decorate the well house that I may change the water?" |
23096 | What if he had hidden behind some great rock and simply waited? |
23096 | What if he had tarried behind some one of those great trees near the city along the way which he should walk, or, possibly on the Emmaus way? |
23096 | What if instead of going out to the scene of his disgraceful death he had waited until after Jesus had risen? |
23096 | What is it, therefore? |
23096 | What should he do with it? |
23096 | When Jesus understood it, he said unto them, Why trouble ye the woman? |
23096 | When the minister said to the old sea captain,"Why do you do this? |
23096 | Who ever heard of a boy growing in this way? |
23096 | Who ever heard of a doctor who had a prescription for growth? |
23096 | Who knows but one could speak and the other could sing? |
23096 | Who was that Robert? |
23096 | Who, then, would be without it? |
23096 | Why have we not this power of his? |
23096 | Why is not some one in our own land especially working out some of the great plans and purposes of God? |
23096 | Why should God continue when we only spurn his offers of mercy? |
23096 | Why take such a risk?" |
23096 | Will you not come while he calls to- day? |
23096 | With such a work as this, who shall lay anything to the charge of God''s elect? |
23096 | Would God that justifieth do it, or Christ that died consent to it? |
23096 | and he said,"Yes, sir; do you?" |
23096 | and in thy name done many wonderful works?" |
23096 | and in thy name have cast out Devils? |
23096 | and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt? |
23096 | who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" |
33014 | But how can you leave the children? 33014 But you are not going to a court- martial; you are going to Christ; and when Christ asks you,''What have you done for me?'' |
33014 | Did they ever crown you with thorns? |
33014 | Did they ever smite you? |
33014 | Did you get some one to take it for you? |
33014 | Did you tell the Superintendent you were not to be there? |
33014 | Do you go to the Sabbath- school? |
33014 | Do you go to the day- school? |

33014 | Do you know who had the class? |
33014 | Do you love me? |
33014 | Have I received such blessed light and truth, and shall I not strive to communicate it to others? |
33014 | How are you going to do it? |
33014 | Is it easier to say,''Thy sins be forgiven thee,''or''Rise up and walk?'' 33014 Is that the way you do the Lord''s work?" |

33014 | Then did you feel bad for that mother? |

33014 | WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR? |
33014 | What are you doing here, my boy? |
33014 | What did you think of the preacher? |
33014 | What makes you cry? |
33014 | What was your subject? |
33014 | Why? |
33014 | Will you tell my father and mother that I died a Christian? |
33014 | A man sent me a tract a little while ago, entitled,"WHAT IS THAT IN THINE HAND?" |
33014 | After some days, he called again on the old man, who said:"Well, sir, what do you think now?" |
33014 | Am I not right in saying that we live in a glorious day? |
33014 | And Jesus said,''Let her alone; why trouble ye her? |
33014 | And if God so blessed the fountain, will He not bless you, my friends, if, as ye have freely received, ye also freely give? |
33014 | And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? |
33014 | And where was the prudent pool? |
33014 | Are not the fruits of that revival at Pentecost to be seen even in our time? |
33014 | Are there not many who have become alienated from the Church of God and from the house of the Lord, who are forming an attachment to the saloon? |
33014 | At last the Lord said to Moses,"What is that in thine hand?" |
33014 | But did not the little stream exhaust itself? |
33014 | But if you keep your feelings and your troubles all locked up, how are you to be helped? |
33014 | But was it a failure? |
33014 | But what did he do? |
33014 | But what was the good man''s answer:"Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst not thou_ agree_ with me for a penny? |
33014 | By- and- by a third man called and said:"Would you take a ticket for these meetings?" |
33014 | Can we not do the same as that young lady did? |
33014 | Can we not engage in the service of Christ because we love Him? |
33014 | Did not the Lutheran Church come from the great awakening that swept through Germany in the days of Luther? |
33014 | Did not the teacher get well paid for her work? |
33014 | Did you ever preach on Noah? |
33014 | Did you ever study up his life?" |
33014 | Do we not need a revival of downright honesty, of truthfulness, of uprightness, and of temperance? |
33014 | Do you have any doubt of it? |
33014 | Do you know what the word means? |
33014 | Do you say that He will not bless such consecrated effort? |
33014 | Do you suppose that the young converts are going round to your house and knock at the door to tell you they have been converted? |
33014 | Do you tell me He can not use this woman, that little boy? |
33014 | Do you tell me I could not sympathize with that bereaved mother? |
33014 | Do you tell me that John Howard, who went into so many of the dark prisons in Europe, is dead? |
33014 | Do you tell me that Joseph is dead? |
33014 | Do you think a class of little boys full of life and fire is going to be reached in that way? |
33014 | Do you think the poor drunkard who reels along the street really believes that Christ is his friend and loves him? |
33014 | Do you think these drunkards need anyone to condemn them? |
33014 | Do you want to know how you can reach the masses? |
33014 | For whether is greater, he that sitteth at meat, or he that serveth? |
33014 | He did not give him a long address on geology; what could that do for him? |
33014 | He died an exile from his country and his throne, and where is his name today? |
33014 | He looks again at the Question Book and he says:"Charles, who was Lot?" |
33014 | How are all the folks at home?" |
33014 | How are they to find out their mistake? |
33014 | How did you get on?" |
33014 | How''s the baby? |
33014 | How''s your mother? |
33014 | I called her to me, and said:''Nellie, what is the trouble?'' |
33014 | I noticed this and said:"You are not afraid of death, are you?" |
33014 | I said:"What are you doing for Christ?" |
33014 | If Christ could not do this, how can we expect to accomplish anything if the people of God are unbelieving? |
33014 | If God could use that, surely He can use us, can he not? |
33014 | If we had the love of our Master do you tell me that these outlying masses would not be reached? |
33014 | In our great cities are there not hundreds and thousands who are in some need of human sympathy? |

33015 | Do n''t you think there is a strange look in his eye?" |
33015 | Do we think less of ourselves and of our position than we did a year ago? |
33015 | Do you ask me how much I am worth? |

33015 | He died an exile from his country and his throne, and where is his name today? |
33015 | He died to redeem us, and shall we be ashamed or afraid to confess Him? |
33015 | He go to these meetings? |
33015 | He used this text, but the devil put this thought into his mind:"How do you know Christ ever said that after all? |

33015 | I asked him,"How do you account for creation, for all these rocks?" |
33015 | I asked him:"Do you believe Christ said that?" |
33015 | I have been asked by a great many good men,"Why is it we do n''t have any results? |
33015 | I have had people say to me,"Mr. Moody, how can I get control of my temper?" |
33015 | I said to her after it was all over:"It turned out quite differently from what you expected, did n''t it?" |
33015 | I said,"How do you account for the formation of the world?" |
33015 | If he had lived such a false life that his children had no faith in his word, what would have been his feelings? |

33015 | Is n''t it time for us to get our friends into the Kingdom of God? |
33015 | Is n''t it worth a struggle? |
33015 | Is n''t it worth fighting for? |
33015 | Is there a prayerless father reading this? |
33015 | It does n''t take you very long to turn around, does it? |
33015 | Its title was:"Are all the children in?" |
33015 | Just then a poor old colored woman rose in the audience, and said.--"Frederick, is God dead?" |
33015 | Let me quote a few words by Dr. Chalmers:"Thousands of men breathe, move and live, pass off the stage of life, and are heard no more-- Why? |
33015 | Men say,"What has he stopped work for?" |
33015 | My dear friends, are we not living in solemn days? |
33015 | My dear friends, is n''t it humiliating? |
33015 | My dear friends, is n''t that a high calling? |
33015 | Now will you come to Christ? |
33015 | Now, are you ready to do it? |
33015 | Now, how are we to get the victory over all our enemies? |
33015 | Now, if this text was not true, do n''t you think it would have been found out by this time? |
33015 | One day the two sisters were together, and the other said:"Now what have you got at those meetings that you did n''t have in the first place?" |
33015 | One of these officers said at the table:"I believe that Carey was a shoemaker, was n''t he, before he took up the profession of a missionary?" |
33015 | Or is he immersed in business and pleasure? |
33015 | Shall I tell you what the"yoke"referred to in the text is? |
33015 | She said,"Can you help me? |
33015 | Some of his neighbors say,"Noah, what is your hurry? |
33015 | Some of his relatives might have said,"What are you going to do with the old homestead?" |
33015 | Surely that is broad enough-- is it not? |
33015 | Taking the note from his pocket he gave it to the lady, and said:"Will you read that note aloud?" |
33015 | That discussion has wrecked party after party, one society after another--"Who shall be the greatest?" |
33015 | The cry of the world to day is,"Where can rest be found?" |
33015 | The heavens will be on fire, and then what will property, honor, and position in society be worth? |
33015 | The little fellow looked up and said:"No; is this death that I feel stealing over me? |
33015 | The neighbors cry out,"What does this mean?" |
33015 | The question is, are you overcoming the world, or is the world overcoming you? |
33015 | There is nothing to be proud of-- is there? |
33015 | They will say:"You ca n''t get away from your mother, eh? |
33015 | Well, but we had no part in crucifying Christ; therefore, what is our sin? |
33015 | What Does it Mean to Come? |
33015 | What are our enemies without? |
33015 | What can I do to overcome it?" |
33015 | What do we see to- day? |
33015 | What does James say? |
33015 | What is the matter with my Christianity?" |
33015 | What is the secret of Sunday driving, of the saloons and brothels? |
33015 | What is the use of being five years about what you can do in five minutes? |
33015 | What is the use of his talking about salvation for the next life, if he has no salvation for this? |
33015 | What is your hurry? |
33015 | What then will become of your soul? |
33015 | What was the matter? |
33015 | What would you think of a farmer who went on sowing all the year round, and never thought of reaping? |
33015 | When He came into the house at Capernaum, He turned to His disciples, and said:"What was all that discussion about?" |
33015 | When a man will drive like Jehu all the week and like a snail on Sunday, is n''t there something wrong with him? |
33015 | When he was dying he called his father to his bedside and said:"Was n''t it a good thing that my sisters went to those meetings? |
33015 | When the young man heard it, he said:"Do you mean to tell me that he has been converted?" |
33015 | When you talk with them they say:"Well, when you say''the world,''what do you mean?" |
33015 | Where Can Rest be Found? |
33015 | Where is he to- day? |
33015 | Where is your son, your daughter? |
33015 | Who can soften your hard heart but Himself?" |
33015 | Who can tell the name of any of the millionaires of Daniel''s day? |
33015 | Who in all the world will say that Napoleon lives in their heart''s affections? |
33015 | Who is able to reach and help drinking men like those who have themselves been slaves to the intoxicating cup? |
33015 | Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" |
33015 | Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?" |
33015 | Who were the mighty conquerors of that day? |
33015 | Who would have such a man around him as John Bunyan in his time? |
33015 | Whoever heard of a man going out to fish, and setting his net, and then letting it stop there, and never pulling it in? |
33015 | Why are theaters and places of amusement crowded at night? |
33015 | Why? |
33015 | Why? |
33015 | Will I die to- day?" |
33015 | Will you not go out this very day and seek to rescue these men? |
33015 | Will you not lay hold of the promise, and trust it, and follow Him now? |
33015 | Will you thus live and die, O man immortal? |
33015 | Wo n''t it be sweet, darling?" |
33015 | Wo n''t you meet me in heaven, father?" |
33015 | Wo n''t you take up your cross now? |
33015 | Wonderful, is n''t it? |
33015 | Would n''t you? |
33015 | are you getting mastery over the world and the flesh? |
33015 | do you believe it? |
33015 | do you believe it?" |
33015 | what is the meaning of this?" |
33015 | where is your boy, mother? |
17122 | Can a woman forget her sucking child? |
17122 | Except a man be born of_ water_, and of the spirit,& c. What is here meant by"_ water_"? |
17122 | Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into_ his death_? 17122 --that you was born of faith, and by faith was in the kingdom of God? 17122 16 And now why tarriest thou? 17122 All the fear lies in the first, and thunders out to ever sinner,cursed is every one that continueth not in all things written in the law to do them?" |
17122 | And except those days should be shortened there should no flesh be saved;"[ Saved from what? |
17122 | And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" |
17122 | And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?" |
17122 | And if we are_ scarcely saved_ from this impending destruction, by fleeing to the mountains of Judea, where will our thoughtless and sinful appear? |
17122 | And if we the righteous are scarcely saved from this long- predicted destruction, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear? |
17122 | And if we the righteous who are innocent, have to endure so many"fiery trials,"what will the dreadful punishment be of our disobedient persecutors? |
17122 | And now, my young friends, which will you choose? |
17122 | And that he should again, as suddenly, drop this subject, and hasten right back to the coming of Christ at the destruction of Jerusalem? |
17122 | And why? |
17122 | Are her children exposed to danger, and full in her view? |
17122 | Are they racked with pain? |
17122 | Are they sick? |
17122 | Are you not satisfied without arguing that they ought to suffer endless misery in addition to their woes? |
17122 | But In what sense are they unbelievers? |
17122 | But admit that it is; we would further inquire, did the last judgment begin as early as the days of Peter? |
17122 | But asks the objector, are we not to_ realize_ our pardon in this world? |
17122 | But asks the reader, what matter is it which is first in order, whether_ love, faith_ or_ works_? |
17122 | But can not a man be justified_ here_? |
17122 | But can not a man be_ sanctified_ while_ here_? |
17122 | But can not a man pass from death to life while on earth? |
17122 | But can their unbelief make God''s promise of none effect? |
17122 | But can we not enjoy it here? |
17122 | But can we not enjoy it_ here_? |
17122 | But do you believe that he will exert his power so as to accomplish it? |
17122 | But do you not perceive that by so doing you would give the king the lie? |
17122 | But does not the objector see that he has stated no fact for them to believe in order to make Christ their Saviour? |
17122 | But how can God give you what he has not himself? |
17122 | But how can he be the Saviour of a man, he never saves? |
17122 | But how did Peter know that it was at hand? |
17122 | But how good is he? |
17122 | But if we make a wrong application of any scripture, why do not our opposers point out the error? |
17122 | But in what sense do they experience it? |
17122 | But inquires the objector, does God punish for the good of his creatures? |
17122 | But inquires the objector, how do you know that God has promised eternal life to all? |
17122 | But inquires the reader, where do the scriptures teach that Christ was ever born again? |
17122 | But inquires, the reader, why do you pray that God would pardon our sins? |
17122 | But is the_"last judgment"_ to begin at them? |
17122 | But shall their unbelief make God''s promise of eternal life of none effect? |
17122 | But suppose they should all reject it saying we do not believe one word of it, would their_ unbelief_ make the promise or record false? |
17122 | But the question arises, in what sense can the violation of that_ condition_ have any effect upon the length of life? |
17122 | But the question presents itself-- were any of the human family raised immortal before that period? |
17122 | But what consolation can you impart, if you are yourself ignorant of the doctrines of the gospel of Christ? |
17122 | But what is all this compared with the character that thousands ascribe to the God, who rules above? |
17122 | But what is that perfect work, which faith produces? |
17122 | But what is the_ record_? |
17122 | But what prize was this? |
17122 | But where, I again ask, is revealed a_ third_ coming of our Saviour? |
17122 | But will the sinner''s love make God his friend-- will it cause his Creator to love him? |
17122 | But, asks the youth, shall I live longer for subduing my passions and doing good, for seeking peace and pursuing it? |
17122 | But, inquires the reader, were those who died in the cause of Christ raised immortal at his coming? |
17122 | By what then are we to be saved? |
17122 | Can he look upon the beautiful objects of creation, or contemplate these countless wonders of the Almighty before he is born into being? |
17122 | Can it put that truth out of existence and make it a falsehood? |
17122 | Can this be true? |
17122 | Can you call yourself the saviour of those two men from temporal death? |
17122 | Could we now say-- if there be no resurrection, he is fallen asleep in Christ and perished? |
17122 | Do not the Scriptures declare that God chose us_ in Christ_ before the foundation of the world? |
17122 | Do they endeavor to effect this, by ceasing to mind high things, and by condescending to men of low estate? |
17122 | Do we then make void the law through faith? |
17122 | Do you ask why not? |
17122 | Do you grant, that God has given eternal life in Christ to every man? |
17122 | Do you intend to make him kind, tender, and forgiving_ here_, but unkind, unforgiving, and hard- hearted to a part of his offspring_ hereafter_? |
17122 | Do you say because he disbelieves the truth of God''s promise? |
17122 | Do your kindness, tenderness, and forgiveness extend to all, and desire the happiness of the universe? |
17122 | Does God command us to do more than he is willing to do himself? |
17122 | First, I ask, what do you call a believer? |
17122 | From what source, then, did you derive so much tenderness and love? |
17122 | From whom did you receive all those compassionate feelings of heart? |
17122 | God calls upon men to believe, what-- That Christ is their Saviour? |
17122 | God is kind to the evil and to the unthankful, and ought we to be unkind to them? |
17122 | Has God given the mother all these noble affections, and does he feel less to his helpless, sinful and erring children? |
17122 | Have any of you thus far spent your days in striving to find perfect bliss in the various pursuits of life? |
17122 | Have you aspired to one object, abandoned it, and taken up another? |
17122 | Here let the question be asked-- Was this sheaf called the_ first- fruits_ because it was ripe before the whole harvest? |
17122 | Here let the question be asked;--how do we establish the law by_ faith_? |
17122 | Here then we see the beauty and propriety of our text:"What man is he that desireth life and loveth many days that he may see good? |
17122 | How can you extricate yourself from this difficulty? |
17122 | How do you know that-- who told you so? |
17122 | How is that-- To hold a grudge one day, and if they ask our pardon, to forgive them the next? |
17122 | How many did he love? |
17122 | How many does God forgive? |
17122 | How many is that? |
17122 | How then can their eternal salvation be denominated_ scarce_? |
17122 | How then could Paul tell his brethren,"by the word of the Lord,"that they were to be thus changed? |
17122 | How would you preach to such persons? |
17122 | How, we ask, are all those_ sincere_ opposing petitions to be answered? |
17122 | How? |
17122 | I ask what does God call upon them to believe? |
17122 | I would then ask whether eternal life was not promised, and given in Christ to the_ believer_ before he believed it? |
17122 | If God promised his creatures eternal life before the world began, will they not obtain it? |
17122 | If so, can you say that you have found the happiness you anticipated, and so earnestly sought? |
17122 | If so, how are we judged in the present day? |
17122 | If the judgment day, which_ then_ commenced, has not yet ended, why may not the resurrection day be still progressing? |
17122 | If the objector will not allow these facts unalterably to exist_ previous_ to believing, what then will he call upon us to believe? |
17122 | If you insist that he has given it to you, has he not in such case, given you more than he originally possessed? |
17122 | In view of news, what is the first thing necessary? |
17122 | Is he detected? |
17122 | Is he stretched upon a bed of pain? |
17122 | Is not this the day of redemption when we are set free? |
17122 | Is such a father absent-- far distant on land or ocean where duty calls? |
17122 | Let God answer--"Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? |
17122 | Let us do good in our day and generation, and render ourselves blessings to mankind, by living soberly, righteously and peaceably in the world? |
17122 | Must not man be born of a woman in order to see this world? |
17122 | Must they believe that Christ is their Saviour, or that they have an eternal life in him? |
17122 | Now if we disbelieve the record will that make it false? |
17122 | Now will public conduct place them on an equality? |
17122 | Now, where did you get it? |
17122 | Our object is happiness; and amidst all the various pursuits of life, what is the reason so many fail of obtaining it? |
17122 | Perhaps someone may feel disposed to ask-- whether faith is all that is necessary? |
17122 | Reader, do you not love the Lord for his wonderful goodness to his children? |
17122 | SERMON II"What man is he that desireth life and loveth many days that he may see good? |
17122 | SERMON V"For what if some did not believe, shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? |
17122 | SERMON VI"For what if some did not believe, shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? |
17122 | SERMON VII"For what if some did not believe, shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? |
17122 | Should they propose a public measure for the good of the town, would the one be listened to, with the same attention as the other? |
17122 | Suppose, further, that some of us had rejected it; would this circumstance have prevented our being born? |
17122 | The disciples immediately asked him saying,"tell us when shall these things be, and what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world?" |
17122 | The gospel being good tidings, or news, are you satisfied that thing necessary? |
17122 | The next thing, to be determined, was, what doctrine do you believe, and what church will you join? |
17122 | The question here arises, how many does God command us to forgive? |
17122 | The question now arises, when does this new birth take place? |
17122 | The question now arises; do not some experience the new birth in this life? |
17122 | The question returns, are our sins washed away in a stream of water? |
17122 | The reader may, perhaps, here inquire whether the scriptures do not clearly describe the resurrection of all mankind to be at one instant of time? |
17122 | Then, let the question be put to him-- from whence did you derive all those noble qualities of love, mercy and goodness? |
17122 | This being granted, we would ask, whether they will not come in possession of it, if God''s promise stands? |
17122 | This was his_ second_ coming; but where but where is there a_ scrap_ of scripture to prove his_ third_ coming at the end of time? |
17122 | This would be believing a lie, because you say that God has not made them that promise? |
17122 | To whom does this"_ all_"refer? |
17122 | Very well; the judgment was to be at the coming of Christ to the destruction of the Jewish state, and does not this designate some particular period? |
17122 | Was it not a_ reality_ that the three disciples saw Jesus transfigured, and though in that condition was it not still their_ identical_ Lord? |
17122 | We ask-- till he believes what? |
17122 | We here inquire of the objector-- do you then grant that he is the Saviour of all men-- the Saviour of the world as the scriptures declare? |
17122 | We now ask the reader, whether it would not be folly to give to the word_ birth_ such an explanation? |
17122 | We then ask, what truth do you wish him to believe, so that he may obtain this eternal life? |
17122 | We then ask-- are our sins to be wished in a stream of water? |
17122 | We will now introduce the question-- If God has not forgiven a man today, will he ever forgive him? |
17122 | We would ask the objector, what will they not believe? |
17122 | We would then inquire, what is it that constitutes him an_ unbeliever_? |
17122 | Well do not_ redemption, remission, and forgiveness_ mean the same thing? |
17122 | Well, could we be chosen_ in Christ_ without being pardoned? |
17122 | Well, has God the power to do it? |
17122 | Well, shall his unbelief make the king''s promise of none effect? |
17122 | Well, what can be assigned as the reason, why this rich man stands so far above the other in the public opinion? |
17122 | Well, what was he at that time? |
17122 | What is the meaning of gospel? |
17122 | What is the reason? |
17122 | What propriety is there in saying,"_ when all things are subdued unto him_,"after he has resigned his kingdom? |
17122 | Where are they? |
17122 | Where is sudden destruction to come upon any in that day? |
17122 | Where is thy sting? |
17122 | Where is thy sting? |
17122 | Where is thy sting? |
17122 | Where is thy victory"? |
17122 | Where is thy victory? |
17122 | Where is thy victory? |
17122 | Where then is revealed that_ third_ coming of our Lord, at the end of time, to raise the dead? |
17122 | Where then? |
17122 | Where then? |
17122 | Who can tell the value of existence, or number its countless joys? |
17122 | Why are they then baptized for the dead?" |
17122 | Why do you call him an_ unbeliever_? |
17122 | Why is it when misfortune falls upon the rich, that they, so often, resort to the intoxicating draught? |
17122 | Will God change in some future day? |
17122 | Will God? |
17122 | Will they both be treated with the same politeness and attention by their neighbors? |
17122 | Will they both move in the same social circle? |
17122 | Would he possess so much influence in society? |
17122 | Would not then the record prove true? |
17122 | Would they run such an awful risk, unless, by a certain course of education, they had been made to believe that there was happiness in transgression? |
17122 | Would you forgive all, and bring them home to glory? |
17122 | Would you live long that you may see good days? |
17122 | Would you now go and tell that man- sir, because you will not_ believe_, you shall never come forth from prison? |
17122 | Would you save all men from sin and its attendant misery if you could? |
17122 | [ Why? |
17122 | [ Why? |
17122 | xv:29"Else what shall they do, which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all? |
14497 | Is it easy or is it hard, this religion of yours? |
14497 | Must I believe this doctrine in order that I may be saved? |
14497 | Oh, but,you say,"is not this slavery over again? |
14497 | What is it that you can not believe in? |
14497 | What shall I do about this? |
14497 | Again I say, The child of God, and this which you have been, what is it? |
14497 | An unseen presence? |
14497 | And if He came to- morrow morning, would not this whole world lift itself up and answer Him? |
14497 | And if you want me to, is there any possibility of my doing it? |
14497 | And where is that? |
14497 | And why should not you, my friends, why should not you? |
14497 | And yet am I not their servant? |
14497 | And yet their servant? |
14497 | And yet, have you never seen a breathless man, a man in whom the breathing was almost stopped, a drowning man, an exhausted man? |
14497 | Are you and I going to be such creatures of our senses that we shall not believe that there are powers that touch us that we can not see? |
14497 | Are you living that life now? |
14497 | But does he stop? |
14497 | But does not it come to seem to us so strange, so absurd, if it was not so melancholy, that man should say such a thing as that? |
14497 | But the years between? |
14497 | But what, then, is the Christian religion? |
14497 | But when did sin begin to be wise? |
14497 | But where is the sceptical soul? |
14497 | But who doubts that among us the spirit of slavery lived and thrived? |
14497 | Can I, can you, have Christ in human history, Christ in the world, and live as if He were not here? |
14497 | Can it be that so wise a devil was so foolish here? |
14497 | Can it meet all these human problems, and relieve all these human miseries, and fulfil all these human hopes? |
14497 | Can not we contribute something that it has not to- day? |
14497 | Can not we make its life diviner? |
14497 | Can we give it as we draw toward our last moment? |
14497 | Can you do this which the world unmistakably needs to be done? |
14497 | Do I doubt-- I, who see myself called upon to be the slave of these conditions which are around me-- to do this thing? |
14497 | Do I want to believe anything that can not be proved to be true, anything that my intelligence shall not receive? |
14497 | Do n''t you know it? |
14497 | Do we worship God? |
14497 | Do you not think how full of hope it is? |
14497 | Do you wonder at the patriot, the hero, when he rushes into the battle to do the good deed which it is possible for him to do? |
14497 | Does not the baser part of him cling to the old prison, to the ease and the provision for him, to the absence of anxiety and of energy? |
14497 | Does that sound to you all unreasonable? |
14497 | Has it not manifested itself in the experience of mankind? |
14497 | Have you ever thought of how the world has stood in glory and honor before the sinless humanity of Jesus Christ? |
14497 | How about the sins that you did when you were young men? |
14497 | How about the time when they plunged into baseness and made their soul like a dog''s soul? |
14497 | How did the sun rise on our city this morning? |
14497 | How do you get within the power of any force, my friends? |
14497 | How do you get within the power of any force? |
14497 | How does all this affect that which we are continually conscious of, urging upon ourselves and upon one another? |
14497 | How does it affect the whole question of a man''s sins? |
14497 | How is it now? |
14497 | How shall he do it? |
14497 | How will you make that storm a true thing for yourself? |
14497 | I go to a certain man and ask him,"Why do you not believe in Christianity?" |
14497 | I know you say;"Is this all in the clouds? |
14497 | If I asked a man where he was going and he told me he was not going to Washington, what could I know about where he was going? |
14497 | If he can not, if he can not, what business have you to be doing them? |
14497 | If he can, what business have you to be doing them so poorly, so carnally, so unspiritually, that men look on them and shake their heads with doubt? |
14497 | Independent of them? |
14497 | Is it a throne from which a ruler utters his decrees? |
14497 | Is it not clear and simple, whether it be true or not? |
14497 | Is it not glorious, this absolute simplicity of the Christian faith? |
14497 | Is it not written in the historical record? |
14497 | Is life a hard thing for him? |
14497 | Is there anything I can do in the right way?" |
14497 | Is there no lingering? |
14497 | Is there the man alive who thinks that Abraham Lincoln was shot just for himself; that it was that one man for whom the plot was laid? |
14497 | It is the old story over again, when John the Baptist, puzzled in his prison, said to Jesus,"Art thou He that should come? |
14497 | It seems to me that the Christian Church is hearing that cry in its ears to- day:"Art thou He that should come?" |
14497 | May I read to you a few words from the eighth chapter of St. John? |
14497 | Must it not have been the act of one poor madman, born and nursed in his own reckless brain?" |
14497 | Not until the soul says,"What will come if I do obey Jesus Christ?" |
14497 | Now, a question that comes in the Christian''s mind is"Why do n''t people believe this?" |
14497 | Read an old story that my life in these new days shall be regenerated and saved? |
14497 | Shall I believe that God has nothing to do with him until he acknowledges God? |
14497 | Shall I care about how they criticise the outside of my life? |
14497 | Shall I care about their little whims and oddities? |
14497 | Shall I peer into their faces as I meet them in the street, to see whether they approve of me or not? |
14497 | Shall I say it? |
14497 | Shall I throw away my truthfulness simply for the sake of holding what I want, what I choose to call the truth? |
14497 | Shall I trust myself to the ship merely because I have refused to examine its timbers, when men tell me that it is unsound? |
14497 | Shall a man cultivate himself? |
14497 | Shall a man serve the world, strive to increase the kingdom of God in the world? |
14497 | Shall he simply think of himself as one who has crushed this passion, shut down this part of his life? |
14497 | Shall he simply think of himself as one who has taken a course of self- denial? |
14497 | Shall not man bring his nature out into the fullest illumination, and surprise himself by the things that he might do? |
14497 | Shall not they open themselves somehow to us to- day, my friends? |
14497 | Shall there be no Christ for the strong men who have before them the duties of their life, and who want the strength with which to do them? |
14497 | Shall there be no Christ for the young men, the young men standing in danger, but also standing in such magnificent and splendid chances? |
14497 | Shall there be no Christ for those who for the moment seem to need no comfort? |
14497 | Therefore, not"Must we believe?" |
14497 | They answered Him, We be Abraham''s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest Thou, Ye shall be made free? |
14497 | They answered Him, We be Abraham''s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest Thou, Ye shall be made free? |
14497 | They answered him, We be Abraham''s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? |
14497 | They answered him, We be Abraham''s seed, and were never in bondage to any man; how sayest Thou, ye shall be made free? |
14497 | They are asking everywhere this question:"Is it possible for a man to be engaged in the activities of our modern life and yet to be a Christian? |
14497 | To have outgrown the boy''s faith, and not to have come to the man''s faith? |
14497 | Was ever man so independent in Jerusalem as Jesus was? |
14497 | Was it he for whom the murderer lurked with a mere private hate? |
14497 | What are they? |
14497 | What can keep you from committing that sin? |
14497 | What do you think of your young men of fifteen, twenty, twenty- five, and thirty years old? |
14497 | What evidence is there of it?" |
14497 | What has become of my personality, of my independence, if I am to live thus?" |
14497 | What has become of that boy to- day? |
14497 | What has happened to that man? |
14497 | What is a liberal faith, my friends? |
14497 | What is easier than for a man to breathe? |
14497 | What is my impression in regard to him? |
14497 | What is the Christian? |
14497 | What is the glory of that world? |
14497 | What is the meaning of this sort of talk that we hear about a faith that they held once, but they have outgrown? |
14497 | What new life has come into him?" |
14497 | What ruler ever won it like this dead President of ours? |
14497 | What shall I say to my friend who is an atheist? |
14497 | What shall be our universal law of life? |
14497 | What shall he do who is to my humanity what the perfect is to the absolutely and dreadfully imperfect? |
14497 | What shall the divine man do? |
14497 | What shall we think about those sins? |
14497 | What then? |
14497 | What time is there for me to be a Christian? |
14497 | What time is there, what room is there for Christianity in such a life as mine?" |
14497 | What, read a book to save my soul? |
14497 | When did the fool stop saying in his heart,"There is no God,"and acting godlessly in the absurdity of his impiety? |
14497 | When did wickedness learn wisdom? |
14497 | When he says,"God,"shall I not believe Him? |
14497 | When my friend turns over some new leaf, as we say, and begins to live a new life, what shall we think of him? |
14497 | Where is the ruined woman whom you sent forth into the world out of the shadow of your sin years ago? |
14497 | Who dares to dream that human life has lived its completest and shown the noblest power of receiving God into itself? |
14497 | Who dares to think that these few thousand years have exhausted this majestic and mysterious being that we call man? |
14497 | Why do I believe in God? |
14497 | Why should I believe it? |
14497 | Why should they not? |
14497 | Will you call it free? |
14497 | Will you know it? |
14497 | Will you let Christ teach it to you? |
14497 | Will you let Christ tell you what is the perfect man? |
14497 | Will you let Him set His simplicity and graciousness close to your life, and will you feel their power? |
14497 | Will you not give yourself to that of Him which you know to- day? |
14497 | Wonderful? |
14497 | You say,"How can a man believe that? |
14497 | You say,"Must I?" |
14497 | You say,"What can I do?" |
14497 | but"May I believe?" |
14497 | or look we for another?" |
14497 | what are you? |
30657 | ''I fast twice a week;''''I give tithes of all I possess;''I am a wonderfully good man, am I not, Lord? |
30657 | Are you lost? |
30657 | Did you not honor the draft? |
30657 | Do you not know,replied the Emperor,"that he honors me and my kingdom by making a large draft?" |
30657 | Do you not remember when Mr. Rainsford called to see you, you were very rude to him? 30657 Dost thou remember me,"said the Quaker,"how I had thee fined for swearing?" |
30657 | For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace? |
30657 | Has not God answered your prayer? |
30657 | How many do you want? |
30657 | Indeed,I said,"how is that?" |
30657 | My child,he said,"what are you crying about?" |
30657 | Tell me,said he,"what did that man say to you?" |
30657 | Well, but what do you suppose I would think? |
30657 | Well, did it do thee any good? |
30657 | Well,he says,"if you will give me$ 500, I will be careful about it; but how can I be careful in spending what I have not got?" |
30657 | What do you do when the devil tempts you? |
30657 | Whence to me this tranquil spirit-- Me all sinful as I am? 30657 Where are you, then, if you are neither saved nor lost?" |
30657 | Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of His servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? 30657 Why do you say that?" |
30657 | Why, I always thought that if I kept on trying, God would save me at some time; and now you tell me to stop trying: what, then, am I to do? |
30657 | You can not do that: for my treasure is laid up on high, where you can not get at it? |
30657 | And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? |
30657 | And what have we that we can offer to God in return for His free gift of salvation? |
30657 | Are there any thirsty ones here? |
30657 | Are you hungering to get rid of your sinful selves? |
30657 | But you will ask, What is the law given for? |
30657 | Can Christ save him all at once? |
30657 | Can there be hope for me?" |
30657 | Can you conceive of the loving Saviour sending away a poor troubled one who comes to Him? |
30657 | Certainly the attempt to work our way up to heaven is"climbing up some other way,"is it not? |
30657 | Dear friend, do you not need rest? |
30657 | Dear friends, let me put this question to you: Are you full of grace? |
30657 | Did He tell them to go and feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to visit the widow and the fatherless in their affliction? |
30657 | Did the Lord ever say anything similar to what the hymn says? |
30657 | Do we thirst for a deeper work of grace in our hearts?--for the anointing of the Spirit? |
30657 | Do you say you are sinners? |
30657 | Do you think Christ would have gone? |
30657 | Do you think God is going to reason with a man whose hands are dripping with blood, and before he asks forgiveness and mercy? |
30657 | Do you think the great God will do less than He commands us to do? |
30657 | Does God intend to mock us, and make game of us? |
30657 | For what? |
30657 | God has given us Christ; and He has given us His Spirit, and His Word: what need is there to wait? |
30657 | God invites you to come and take it: will you come? |
30657 | Have they, ever done their very best? |
30657 | He addressed them and said"Children, have ye any meat?" |
30657 | Hear you now His loving voice? |
30657 | How can we be emptied? |
30657 | How can you work out what you do not possess? |
30657 | How would the Queen feel, if I were to insult her in that way? |
30657 | How would you deal with him? |
30657 | I CAN imagine some one asking: What does that passage mean--"Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling?" |
30657 | I am afraid if some of us had been in her place we would have answered somewhat in this fashion:"You call me a Gentile dog, do you? |
30657 | I can imagine they said to each other,"What good is that going to do? |
30657 | I could in that case turn round and say:"Great God, why did you expect me to believe a promise that was not true for me?" |
30657 | I said to a man one day,"Does the well never run dry?" |
30657 | I said to him:"My friend, does the devil never tempt you to doubt God, and to think He is a hard master?" |
30657 | I said to the mother:"How is it with your skepticism now?" |
30657 | I want to ask you this question: If sin needs forgiveness-- and all sin is against God-- how can you work out your own forgiveness? |
30657 | If He could set a table for His people in the wilderness, and feed three millions of Israelites for forty years, can He not give us our daily bread? |
30657 | If I am going to live perhaps for fifteen or twenty years, what do I want with dying grace? |
30657 | If I stole$ 100 from a friend, I could not forgive myself, could I? |
30657 | If I told you, Mr. Moody, that I had found a hymn- book last night you would believe me, would you not? |
30657 | Is He a liar? |
30657 | Is it not a time of need now? |
30657 | Is it the fault of the minister? |
30657 | Is it thus descends the merit Of the sin- atoning Lamb? |
30657 | Is not this our own comment and reflection on life''s retrospect? |
30657 | Is there grace for me?" |
30657 | Is there room for me?" |
30657 | It has been a hard battle, has it not? |
30657 | It is offered to all: who will have it? |
30657 | MR. MOODY-- What is it to be a child of God? |
30657 | Many of you have tried hard to save yourselves; but what has been the end of it all? |
30657 | May I be saved by Him?" |
30657 | Mr. M.--A good place to start in would be the kitchen, would it not? |
30657 | Mr. M.--All the sinner has to do is to repose in the promises of God? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Are there not many who give an intellectual assent to all these things; and who yet have no power, and no divine life? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Believe what? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Can a drunkard or a blasphemer be saved all at once? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Can all these friends here believe the promises? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Can he get that to- day if he repents? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Do we get any help by believing that? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Do you not think there are a good many here who believe that Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the world; and yet they are not saved? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Does not the Scripture say that the devils believe? |
30657 | Mr. M.--For whom, then, did Christ die? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Has a man the power to believe these things, if he will? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Have these friends the power to believe? |
30657 | Mr. M.--How are they to begin? |
30657 | Mr. M.--How are we"cleansed by_ the Blood?_"Mr. R.--"The blood is the life." |
30657 | Mr. M.--How do you get faith? |
30657 | Mr. M.--How do you get the Holy Ghost? |
30657 | Mr. M.--How do you obtain that? |
30657 | Mr. M.--How long does it take God to justify a sinner? |
30657 | Mr. M.--How may a man know if he has eternal life? |
30657 | Mr. M.--How much is there in Christ for us who believe? |
30657 | Mr. M.--I understand, then, that if a man rejects Christ to- night, he passes judgment on himself as unworthy of eternal life? |
30657 | Mr. M.--If a man is forgiven, will he go out and do the same thing to- morrow? |
30657 | Mr. M.--If a man receives the word of God into his heart, what benefit is it to him, right here to- night? |
30657 | Mr. M.--If any one here wants to please God to- night, how can he do it? |
30657 | Mr. M.--If people say they are"going to try,"what would you say to them? |
30657 | Mr. M.--If the friends here do not come and get this salvation, what will be the true reason? |
30657 | Mr. M.--If they truly come, will they have the desire to do the things they used to do before? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Is it available now? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Is it not said that if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth,"there remaineth_ no more_ sacrifice for sins?" |
30657 | Mr. M.--Is salvation within the reach of every man here tonight? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Is the Word of God addressed to all here? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Is unbelief a sin? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Should a man not break off from some of his sins before he comes to God? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Should not a man repent a good deal before he comes to Christ? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Some say they have no power to overcome a besetting sin? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Suppose a man say he is not"elected?" |
30657 | Mr. M.--Suppose the people do"come,"and that they fall into sin tomorrow? |
30657 | Mr. M.--To whom are we to confess our sins? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Was the blood shed for us all? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What about those people who say their hearts are so hard, and they have no love to Christ? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What do you consider to be the great sin of sins? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What do you mean by the New Birth? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What do you mean by the Word of God? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What do you mean by"coming"to Christ? |

30657 | Mr. M.--What is it to"receive the Kingdom of God like a little child?" |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is it to"trust?" |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is meant when we are told that Christ saves"to the uttermost?" |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is the Gospel? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is the best definition of Faith? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is the meaning of being"saved by the Blood?" |

30657 | Mr. M.--What is the salvation He comes to proclaim and to bestow? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is there between the sinner and Christ? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is your meetness for heaven? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is your title to heaven? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What is"the gift of God?" |
30657 | Mr. M.--What reason does the Scripture give tor the Gospel being hid to some? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What would you advise your converts to do? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What would you say to a man who says he has tried a good many times and failed; and who has become discouraged? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What would you say to any one who thinks he has no power to believe? |
30657 | Mr. M.--What, then, should they wait for? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Who is it that judges a man to be unworthy of eternal life? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Why is salvation obtained by faith? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Will Christ crowd out the world if He comes in? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Would you advise people to come to God as they are, with their unfeeling, treacherous, hard hearts-- with any kind of heart? |
30657 | Mr. M.--Would you make a distinction between Christ''s work for us and the Spirit''s work in us? |
30657 | Mr. M.--You mean it is just as powerful to- day as it was eighteen hundred years ago when He shed it? |
30657 | Mr. M.--You would advise them, then, to trust in the Lord, whether they have the right kind of feeling or not? |
30657 | Mr. R.--A gentleman asked me that in the inquiry- room;"What do you mean by the shed Blood?" |
30657 | Mr. R.--Do you remember the story of the woman of Canaan? |
30657 | Mr. R.--How long? |
30657 | Mr. R.--They believe the truth, do they not? |
30657 | My brother, my sister-- are you hungry? |
30657 | No; what do I want with martyr''s grace? |
30657 | Paul said, when he had that famous interview with Christ on the way to Damascus,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" |
30657 | Paul says to the Galatians:"Is the law then against the promises of God? |
30657 | Rainsford, how can one make room in their heart for Christ? |
30657 | Rainsford.--First, do we really want Christ to be in our hearts? |
30657 | Say"Lord, I come to thee as a poor sinner; wilt Thou not save me and help me?" |
30657 | She held up her hands and exclaimed,"Was that you? |
30657 | Suppose he swears or has a bad temper, should he not get a little control over his temper, or stop swearing, before he comes to Christ? |
30657 | Suppose you wish to get the air out of this tumbler; how can you do it? |
30657 | Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most? |
30657 | That is plain language, is it not? |
30657 | The cry of the world is,"Where can rest be found?" |
30657 | The king said,"What are you going to do with such a fanatic as that?" |
30657 | The last time I was in Chicago, I said to him,"Are you still lingering around Sinai?" |
30657 | The law of works? |
30657 | The little fellow said he would not,"Charlie, do you know what that word means?" |
30657 | The question is: Will you let Christ come in and save you? |
30657 | The rest of the class looked on in amazement; and one of them said:"Teacher, you do n''t mean that the watch is his? |
30657 | The river of God''s grace flows on without ceasing; why should we not partake of it, and go on our way rejoicing? |
30657 | Then they asked Him,"What shall we do that we may work the works of God?" |
30657 | Therefore on the cross He cried out,"My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?" |
30657 | We have been fishing here all night, and have got nothing? |
30657 | What did Jesus tell them to do? |
30657 | What does this Gentile woman say? |
30657 | What fills the places of amusement-- the dance houses, the music halls, and the theaters, night after night? |
30657 | What had Paul ever done that could merit salvation? |
30657 | What is God''s command? |
30657 | What is it to be converted? |
30657 | What is the best way to get full of grace? |
30657 | What is the first step? |
30657 | What is the trouble? |
30657 | What kind of feeling should they have? |
30657 | What says Christ? |
30657 | What will become of me, think you?" |
30657 | What would you say of a man dying of thirst on the banks of a beautiful river, with the stream flowing past his feet? |
30657 | What would you say to such? |
30657 | When a man gets to that point, do you tell me that God can not use him to build up His kingdom? |
30657 | Who will accept it now? |
30657 | Who will come and take it? |
30657 | Who will come? |
30657 | Who will open their hearts, and let the Saviour come in? |
30657 | Who would not feel highly honored if they were invited to some fine residence, to the wedding of one of the members of the President''s family? |
30657 | Why do we not believe Him? |
30657 | Why do we not believe him? |
30657 | Why may I not expect the same when pain and anguish are upon me?" |
30657 | Why not a Demas or a Judas? |
30657 | Why should we go on asking and beseeching God to have mercy upon us, when He has already given His Son, and given His Holy Spirit? |
30657 | Why should we go reeling and staggering under the burdens and cares of life when we have such prospects before us? |
30657 | Why, this woman and her boys have been carrying vessels into the house all day; what can be the matter? |
30657 | Will God reason with a man living in rebellion against Him? |
30657 | Will you let Him? |
30657 | Will you let him do it? |
30657 | Would not the same thing move the heart of any parent here? |
30657 | Would you advise any one who wants to become a Christian to start right here by confessing Christ with the mouth? |
30657 | Would you insult the Almighty by offering Him the fruits of this frail body to atone for sin? |
30657 | Would you not show him the document signed in the name of the President? |
30657 | Would you not take him to your bosom and forgive him? |
30657 | Yet the moment he said,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" |
30657 | You do n''t mean that he has n''t to give it back to you?" |
30657 | You say you are not fit to come? |
30657 | are you not longing to see your children won to Christ? |
30657 | granting that there_ might_ be a chance for them if they had, was there ever a time when they could not have done a little better? |
30657 | has Abraham Lincoln pardoned me? |
30657 | what did he mean? |
30657 | why shouldst thou wander From such a loving Friend? |
30449 | Are you fond of flowers? |
30449 | But do n''t you know you are a sinner? |
30449 | But they will put me in prison,he said:"can not you give me any help?" |
30449 | Do you not think,said my friend,"that you had better come to Christ first? |
30449 | Do you think, then, I would tell you a falsehood? |
30449 | Does he belong to the Episcopal Church? |
30449 | Have you got the money? |
30449 | Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? |
30449 | How did you get this gift? |
30449 | How do you explain them? |
30449 | How do you know that he put it in the right hand? |
30449 | How is that? |
30449 | How long have you been here? |
30449 | How then shall ye escape, if ye neglect so great salvation? |
30449 | I hearkened and heard; but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? 30449 Is he a Methodist?" |
30449 | Is he a Presbyterian? |
30449 | Is your eye off the Saviour? 30449 Man, what do you mean? |

30449 | Thus saith the Lord, What iniquity have your fathers found in Me, that they are gone from Me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? 30449 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear? |
30449 | Turn ye, turn ye; for why will ye die? |
30449 | Well, do n''t you know that God wants to have mercy on you-- that there is forgiveness with God? 30449 Well,"I said,"what is it?" |
30449 | Well,said the gentleman,"what has He done to you?" |

30449 | What is the noise in the camp? |
30449 | What is the trouble? |
30449 | What remedy? |
30449 | Why doth this Man thus speak blasphemies? 30449 Why, have you not heard about it? |
30449 | Why, have you not heard the news? 30449 15, 16 we read:Can a woman forget her sucking child that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? |
30449 | 32:"He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" |

30449 | Again the high priest asked Him, and said unto Him, Art Thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? |
30449 | Am I arraigned by Satan at the Divine tribunal? |
30449 | Am I in affliction? |
30449 | Am I persecuted by the world? |
30449 | And do you think the Judge of all the earth will forgive you and me, and open the question again? |
30449 | And he said,"Who can?" |
30449 | And if, the next day, he were again to bring up that old sin, and ask forgiveness, would not that grieve me to the heart? |
30449 | And immediately when Jesus perceived in His Spirit that they reasoned within themselves, He said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts? |
30449 | And some one says:"Why, my good woman, have you not heard the good news that has come into the camp?" |

30449 | Are you a professed Christian but one who is a slave to some besetting sin? |
30449 | Are you a sinner? |
30449 | Are you hungering after righteousness? |
30449 | Assurance is the confident challenge,''Who shall lay anything to the charge of God''s elect? |
30449 | Backslider, I would ask you,"What iniquity is there in God, that you have left Him and gone far from Him?" |
30449 | But I can imagine some one saying,"What am I to do? |
30449 | But how can any one read the life of Jesus Christ and make Him out a deceiver? |
30449 | But the boy does not see anything; he says--"I do not see anything; what is it, mother?" |
30449 | But what was Christ''s object? |
30449 | But when I have asked,"Would you not be troubled if you lost one; and would you not set about seeking for it?" |
30449 | Can a man at once repent? |
30449 | Can we look upon that scene, and say God did not love us? |
30449 | Can you be censured for doing well, and not murmur? |
30449 | Can you be misjudged and misrepresented, and yet keep a Christ- like spirit? |
30449 | Can you forgive an enemy? |
30449 | Can you forgive an injury, or take an affront, as Christ did? |

30449 | Did ever any heaven- sent man fail yet? |
30449 | Did not David find it so? |
30449 | Did not he find it an evil and a bitter thing? |
30449 | Did you ever hear that? |
30449 | Do I pray? |
30449 | Do you believe it is a fact?" |

30449 | Do you remember when in answer to your cry,''Lord, save me, or I perish,''I stretched out My hand and kept you from drowning in the water? |
30449 | Do you think God can forgive a man when he does not want to be forgiven? |
30449 | Do you think that the God who has justified me will condemn me? |
30449 | Do you want to know how to go to Christ? |
30449 | Do you want to know the way? |
30449 | Do, you think that Abraham Lincoln, or any man that ever lived on earth, had as much compassion as Christ? |

30449 | Farewell"? |
30449 | Has God changed? |
30449 | Has He failed in His mission? |
30449 | Has not God the power to keep? |
30449 | Have I been born of the Spirit? |
30449 | Have I not seen it blow the trees in the forest, and the growing corn in the country?" |
30449 | Have I passed from death unto life?" |

30449 | Have you a sainted friend up yonder? |
30449 | Have you done your mother a great injury and a great wrong? |
30449 | Have you forgotten being with Me at the supper- table, and in Gethsemane? |
30449 | Have your doubts come back?" |
30449 | He asks:"What have I done that you should have forsaken Me?" |
30449 | He inquired"How?" |
30449 | He leant his elbows on the cot and clasping his hands together, said,"That''s good; wo n''t you read it again?" |
30449 | He quibbles and questions,''May I?'' |
30449 | He said"Could I not take that money and go into business, and make enough to pay them back?" |
30449 | He says in another place,"O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? |
30449 | He says to the young convert"You do not think I am going to believe anything like that? |
30449 | He says,"What iniquity have your fathers found in Me, that they are gone far from Me?" |
30449 | He stopped me and said,"Is that there?" |
30449 | He went up to him, and said:"Tell me, is there not some estrangement between you and the Lord Jesus?" |
30449 | His answer was,"Why, He has saved me; and that is a pretty good proof, is it not?" |
30449 | How can I become a Christian without restoring it?" |
30449 | How can these things be?" |
30449 | How could He be merely a good man and use language as that? |
30449 | How did you know it was good money?" |
30449 | How long did it take to cure that boy? |
30449 | How long did it take to cure those serpent- bitten Israelites? |
30449 | How long does it take to accept a gift? |
30449 | How much does God want you to feel it? |
30449 | How should we get on in the ordinary intercourse of life, and how would commerce get on, if we disregarded men''s testimony? |
30449 | I asked,"Why have you let her go?" |
30449 | I asked:"What is your trouble?" |
30449 | I can imagine one saying,"If God loves me, why does He not make me good?" |
30449 | I can imagine some of you saying,"How shall I go to Him?" |
30449 | I remember a man asking,"Who said that? |
30449 | I said to myself: I have decided to be a Christian sometime; why not begin now? |
30449 | I see the scowl on that Pharisee''s brow as he says,"How can these things be?" |
30449 | I thought he had committed a murder, or some other awful crime; and I asked:"Is there any one sin that particularly troubles you?" |
30449 | If Abraham Lincoln had compassion on that little girl, heard her petition and answered it, do you think the Lord Jesus will not hear your prayer? |

30449 | If a man is not sure of his own salvation, how can he help any one else into the kingdom of God? |
30449 | If gold could have redeemed us, could He not have created ten thousand worlds full of gold? |
30449 | If some one has slandered you, or misjudged you, do you treat them as your master would have done? |
30449 | If the physicians in Israel can not cure me, how do you think that an old brass serpent on a pole is going to cure me?" |
30449 | If you could hear her speak, would not she say,"Come this way, my son,"--"Come this way, my daughter?" |
30449 | Instead of Peter watching one short hour in Gethsemane, he fell asleep, and the Lord asked him,"What, could ye not watch with Me one hour?" |
30449 | Is He not able to do what He came for? |
30449 | Is any reader waiting for some strange feeling-- you do not know what? |
30449 | Is it the beautiful furniture and stately rooms? |
30449 | Is it the pearly gates or the golden streets? |
30449 | Is it true that you have forgotten Me so soon?" |
30449 | Is not God the same to- day as when you came to Him first? |
30449 | Is not that a new birth?" |
30449 | Is not that a picture of Regeneration? |
30449 | Is that not enough to convince you that He loves you? |
30449 | Is that there?" |
30449 | Is there a man or a woman on the face of the earth who has not sinned since becoming a Christian? |
30449 | Is there anything more like hell on earth? |
30449 | Is your heart so hard that you can brace yourself up against His love, and spurn and despise it? |
30449 | It is composed of those who are convinced of sin and from whom the cry comes as from the Philippian jailer,"What must I do to be saved?" |
30449 | Know ye not your own selves, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?" |
30449 | Like Peter we have said,"To whom shall we go?" |
30449 | Many who came to your city years ago serving God, in their prosperity have forgotten Him: and where are their sons and daughters? |
30449 | Now if God has got hold of my right hand in His, can not He hold me and keep me? |
30449 | Now, has not God a right to make a law that all those who become heirs of eternal life must be"born"into His kingdom? |
30449 | O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? |
30449 | Others say,"I am trying to do what is right-- am I not a Christian? |
30449 | Some ask:"How am I to get my heart warmed?" |
30449 | Some men will meet you and say,"Did not Elisha also raise the dead?" |
30449 | Some one will ask"Have all God''s people Assurance?" |

30449 | The governor was surprised to find him so fond of the flowers, and he said,"Can you tell me why you like these flowers so much?" |
30449 | The language of your heart will be,"To whom shall we go,"but unto Thee? |
30449 | The stranger said,"How do you know one from the other? |
30449 | Then she went to the doctor and she said:"Will you let me go to the ward and nurse my boy?" |
30449 | Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? |
30449 | There is never any deliberation,''May we build here?'' |

30449 | To whom did Christ utter these words of wisdom? |
30449 | Was he a drunkard, a gambler, or a thief? |
30449 | Well now, if He is a mere man, how can He be there? |
30449 | Well then, you will ask, what is Repentance? |
30449 | Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? |

30449 | What is it?" |

30449 | What will make Heaven attractive? |
30449 | When they were about to put out this light, what did Christ say to His disciples? |
30449 | When they were mocking Him and deriding Him, what did He say? |
30449 | Wherefore didst thou doubt?" |
30449 | Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee, or to say, Arise and take up thy bed and walk?" |
30449 | Who can fathom the depth of those words:"God so loved the world?" |
30449 | Who can tell the gulf between life and death? |
30449 | Who could lead the children of Israel through the wilderness like the Almighty God Himself? |
30449 | Who ever heard of the sheep going to bring back the shepherd? |

30449 | Why do n''t you preach him? |
30449 | Why do people commit suicide? |
30449 | Will God demand payment twice of the debt which Christ has paid for us? |
30449 | Will you trample His love under your feet? |
30449 | Would he be happy if God forgave him in this state of mind? |
30449 | Would it not grieve me to have my boy doubt me? |
30449 | Would she wait till he was washed and decently clothed before she would acknowledge him? |
30449 | Would that be honoring me? |
30449 | Would you say to him,"Well, I forgive you,"and leave the matter there? |
30449 | Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? |
30449 | Young man or young lady, have you not a mother in the world of light? |
30449 | _ Why should he ask for any more time?_ You have time enough to repent now. |
30449 | and could God''s own Son fail? |
30449 | and did I not see it blow a man''s hat off in the street? |
30449 | and say that He does not love you? |
30449 | for the bitten Israelites? |
30449 | or will you, this hour, give yourself to Him? |
30449 | shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
30449 | that every reader would ask himself earnestly and faithfully:"Have I been born again? |
30449 | who can forgive sins but God only? |
30449 | wilt Thou draw out Thine anger to all generations? |
30449 | wilt Thou not revive us again: that Thy people may rejoice in Thee? |
33340 | But, Mr. Moody,you say,"how can I check myself? |
33340 | Do you swear when you get angry? |
33340 | Does not your Bible say that if your ass falls into a pit on the sabbath, you may pull him out? |
33340 | How did you stop? |
33340 | How do I know whether a man or a camel passed my tent last night? |
33340 | Oh,I said,"tell me, have you ever sworn since that night you knelt in your drawing- room, and asked God to forgive you?" |
33340 | Then,I asked,"are you ready to meet God?" |
33340 | Well, what is it? |
33340 | What do you mean? |
33340 | What law of justice forgives the obscene bird of prey, while it kicks out of its path the soiled and bleeding dove? |
33340 | Where is the crime,he asked,"of turning a few ounces of blood out of their channel?" |
33340 | Why did you send your daughter out of the room before you said this? |
33340 | Why, you do n''t swear now, do you? |
33340 | Would you come up and see my wife? |
33340 | _ Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? 33340 --that is splendid reading for Sunday, is n''t it? 33340 ARE YOU GUILTY? 33340 ARE YOU READY? 33340 After he prayed he got up and said:What shall I do now?" |
33340 | After the meeting I said to a gentleman:"Who is that man who drives up here every night? |
33340 | Again, what does John say? |
33340 | And what is it used in connection with? |
33340 | And why? |
33340 | And you,_ employee_, have you been honest with your employer? |

33340 | Are we obeying God with all our heart? |
33340 | Are you fit for the kingdom of heaven? |
33340 | Are you guilty of adulterating what you sell? |
33340 | Are you innocent or guilty? |
33340 | Are you like those who said:"When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? |
33340 | Are you ready to step into the scales and be weighed against this first commandment? |
33340 | Are you ready to step into the scales? |
33340 | Are you trusting Him alone? |
33340 | Are your advertisements deceptive? |

33340 | As a child said, when reproved by her mother and told that she ought to do right:"How can I do right when there is no''right''in me?" |
33340 | But does this mean that the detailed precepts of the Decalogue are superseded, and have become back numbers? |
33340 | But have you kept them? |
33340 | But if a man makes money, and yet his sons are ruined and his home broken up, what has he gained? |
33340 | But if he wins her affection and ruins her, and then casts her off, is n''t he worse, than a murderer? |
33340 | But some one says:"Mr. Moody, what are you going to do? |
33340 | But you ask,"What are we to do? |

33340 | Can you draw a picture of your own soul or spirit or will? |
33340 | Can you step on the scales and take that harlot with you? |
33340 | Can you, young man? |
33340 | Can_ you_ say that you observe the sabbath properly? |
33340 | Christians have tried to paint the Trinity, but how can you depict the Invisible? |
33340 | Come, are you killing them? |
33340 | Come, now, are you ready to be weighed? |
33340 | Did He not set an example of true filial love and care when in the midst of the agonies of the cross He mode provision for His mother? |
33340 | Did it not bring fire and brimstone from heaven upon Sodom and Gomorrah? |
33340 | Did n''t David fall into foolish and hurtful lusts? |
33340 | Did you ever get so angry that you wished any one harm? |
33340 | Did you ever in your heart wish a man dead? |
33340 | Did you ever stop to think that the world has not a single picture of Christ that has been handed down to us from His disciples? |
33340 | Do n''t selfish riches always bring hurt? |
33340 | Do we keep the law, the_ whole_ law? |
33340 | Do we render Him a full and willing obedience? |
33340 | Do you believe that God will allow this infernal thing to go on,--women bearing all the blame while guilty men go unpunished? |
33340 | Do you call them old- fashioned, and sneer at their advice? |
33340 | Do you disobey them just as much as you dare? |
33340 | Do you ever think how those little stealings may bring you to ruin? |
33340 | Do you give short weight or measure? |
33340 | Do you know how often the word"reverend"occurs in the Bible? |
33340 | Do you love Him above father or mother, the wife of your bosom, your children, home or land, wealth or pleasure? |
33340 | Do you substitute inferior grades of goods? |
33340 | Do you teach your clerks to put a French or an English tag on domestic manufactures, and then sell them as imported goods? |
33340 | Do you tell them to say that the goods are all wool when you know they are half cotton? |
33340 | Do you try to deceive them? |
33340 | Does a father cease to give children rules to obey because they love him? |
33340 | Does a nation burn its statute books because the people have become patriotic? |
33340 | Does he have peace of mind? |
33340 | Does n''t it look as if Christ left no relics lest they should be held sacred and worshipped? |
33340 | Does n''t that touch sabbath travel? |
33340 | Does that look as if the law of Moses was becoming obsolete? |
33340 | Doth a fountain send forth at the same time sweet water and bitter? |
33340 | God''s statutes are just, are they not? |
33340 | Has n''t the church to contend with the same difficulty to- day? |
33340 | Has n''t the time come to call a halt if men want power with God? |
33340 | Has the human heart ever been satisfied with these false gods? |
33340 | Have we fulfilled all the requirements of the law? |
33340 | Have we not had the desire to increase our possessions or to change our lot in accordance with what we see in others? |

33340 | Have you no other God? |
33340 | Have you paid starvation wages? |
33340 | Have you robbed him of his due by wasting your time when he was not looking? |
33340 | His master heard of it, and sent for him, and said:"I understand you are preaching?" |
33340 | How about the atheist, the deist, the pantheist? |
33340 | How are we to get to church?" |
33340 | How are you treating your parents? |
33340 | How can men claim that this one commandment has been done away with when they will admit that the other nine are still binding? |

33340 | How long is it since you wrote to your mother? |
33340 | How many sons treat their parents with contempt, and make light of their entreaties? |
33340 | How would the president feel if Americans made such hideous objects to resemble him as they make of their gods in heathen countries? |
33340 | I asked him:"Do you ever get angry?" |
33340 | I began to tell him about Christ in the heart; how that would take the temptation to swear out of a man,"Well,"he said,"how am I to get Christ?" |
33340 | I have been thinking, Where did Moses get that law? |
33340 | I stepped up to him and said:"This is Mr.--, I believe?" |
33340 | I want a little more time to prepare, to turn the matter over in my mind?" |
33340 | If Christ is in our hearts, why need we set Him before our eyes? |
33340 | If God should summon you into His presence now, what would you say? |
33340 | If God should weigh us by them, would we be found wanting or not wanting? |
33340 | If God should weigh you against this commandment, would you be found wanting? |

20578 | For these terrors he sought relief and so he asked this infinitely wise question:"What must I do to be saved?" |
20578 | For whom does he now ask? |

20578 | Has the sea gone dry? |

20578 | He asked him this question:"What doest thou here, Elijah?" |
20578 | He hurried to his side thinking that he had been taken suddenly ill."What is the matter?" |
20578 | He is evidently sincere, and yet what can He mean? |

20578 | How had he made his money? |
20578 | How is it that amidst the tremendous issues of moral life and moral death that you can be as complacent and as undisturbed as the dead? |
20578 | How is it that you can sleep amidst all the agony, amidst all the danger that is about us? |
20578 | How is it that your prisoner had escaped?" |

20578 | How was God''s ownership acknowledged throughout all the Old Testament days? |
20578 | How was he brought to the joy and usefulness that are born of certainty? |

20578 | How, then, do we explain this strange text,"For this cause have I raised thee up that I might show forth my power in thee"? |
20578 | I suppose the princess sent down a little coin at the end of each week, but do you think that is all the pay that this mother got? |

20578 | Is n''t the tragedy of the Church to- day just this, that the average Christian is not walking by faith, but by sight? |
20578 | Is there any use for me to tell you that if you persist you will succeed? |
20578 | Is there anybody that believes because of what you have said? |
20578 | It does look a bit mad, does n''t it? |
20578 | It is not, What is the expedient thing or what is the respectable thing or what is the popular thing to do in order to find salvation? |
20578 | It is not: What must I do to be beautiful? |
20578 | It is not: What must I do to be respectable? |
20578 | It is not: What must I do to get rich? |
20578 | It was their way, said the missionary, of asking the supreme question:"What must I do to be saved?" |
20578 | It was this fact that wrung from Him that bitterest of all cries,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
20578 | Little by little are you flinging away the fine ideals that were the strength of your earlier years? |
20578 | Little by little are you giving up your faith? |
20578 | Now, is n''t that a rather amazing thing for Christ to say about this fallen woman? |
20578 | Now, this question: do you want to be saved? |
20578 | Now, what are some of the lessons that we learn from the beautiful life of this ancient woman, Naomi? |

20578 | Now, why did the soldier smile? |
20578 | Now, why send him an onion? |
20578 | Now, why, I wonder, did n''t Jonathan feel about this matter as many of us would? |
20578 | Or, in other words, what are the characteristics that go to make up a good man? |
20578 | Pharaoh, why are you here? |
20578 | Remember, it is not: What must I do to be decent? |
20578 | Since when has it come to pass that the greater the light the less the responsibility? |
20578 | So the question is,"What_ must_ I do to be saved?" |

20578 | That is my message to you:"The gift of God, who will take?" |
20578 | The gift of God, who will take?" |

20578 | Then, who was this missing man? |
20578 | This is true, of course, but why is it true? |
20578 | To whom did He commit this precious treasure, from whose life such infinite blessings should come to the world? |
20578 | Upon what was Peter trusting? |

20578 | Young man, away from home for the first time, are you sinking? |

15031 | And did not he make one? 15031 And did not he make one? |
15031 | Are there not with us sins against the Lord our God? |
15031 | Cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness? 15031 Do we then make void the law through faith? |
15031 | He said to Jesus, Whence art thou? 15031 How shall I give thee up? |
15031 | How shall he who is dead to sin, live any longer therein? |
15031 | If God be with us, who can be against us? |
15031 | If I do this thing willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, a dispensation is committed unto me; what is my reward then? |
15031 | Lord what wilt thou have me to do? |
15031 | Lovest thou me more than these thy fellow disciples love me? |
15031 | So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,''Simon son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?'' 15031 Then saith Pilate unto him,''Speakest thou not unto me? |
15031 | What iniquity have your fathers found in me? |
15031 | What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? 15031 Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God? |
15031 | Whoso trusteth his own heart is a fool.--The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it? |
15031 | Why art thou cast down, O my soul? 15031 _ When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth_?" |
15031 | * By another prophet we find God mourning over them--"How shall I give thee up, Ephraim? |
15031 | * He might have mentioned what passed, when Christ asked the twelve, whether they"would also go away?" |
15031 | * No sooner was he convinced of his mistake, than he returned with,"Lord what will thou have me to do?" |
15031 | * Was he then unhappy? |
15031 | + But what warrant have we for these alterations? |
15031 | --He weeps over obstinate sinners who refuse his grace? |
15031 | 10, 11.--"Then saith Pilate unto him,''Speakest thou not unto me?''" |
15031 | 15.--"And did he not make one? |
15031 | 6,7,8.--"Wherewith shall I come before the Lord And bow myself before the high God?" |
15031 | 8.--"When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" |
15031 | And doth not the present state of the world confirm these expectations? |
15031 | And for as long a term? |
15031 | And how may others attain it? |
15031 | And how natural and common are such exultations, with those devoid of religious fear? |
15031 | And is not that of reason the same? |
15031 | And is not their number great? |
15031 | And is there no cause for his fear? |
15031 | And is there reason to think that Christ would put him upon this work? |
15031 | And of the same nature with those we have been contemplating? |
15031 | And of what enormity are those incapable who have lost the fear of God? |
15031 | And shall they think it strange? |
15031 | And we believe and are sure, that thou art that Christ, the son of the living God?" |
15031 | And what evils would many others have avoided, had they considered the counsel as given to them, and like this family, religiously regarded it? |
15031 | And what is the fear which leads to destruction? |
15031 | And what so prevalent with"him who heareth prayer?" |
15031 | And what valuable ends can be answered by a revelation which is unintelligible? |
15031 | And where is the human character without a shade? |
15031 | And wherefore one? |
15031 | And wherefore one? |
15031 | And wherein consists the excellence of their character? |
15031 | And wherein have I wearied thee? |
15031 | And which of the saints hath not received benefit from it? |
15031 | And who can fix their limits? |
15031 | And why art thou disquieted within me? |
15031 | And why is not all this right? |
15031 | Are the terms of acceptance with God in Christ changed? |
15031 | Are they not the same as formerly? |
15031 | Are we by office appointed to ask mercy for others and bear them on our hearts before God? |
15031 | Are we thus made to differ from the wicked world? |
15031 | Are we unjustly censured by our fellow servants, or reproached while in the way of our duty? |
15031 | But doth not God choose some to eternal life, and to this end bring them into his kingdom, and leave others to perish in their sins? |
15031 | But he did not wrong his conscience to please them, or depart from truth to gain their approbation--"Do I seek to please men? |
15031 | But how did they attain this knowledge? |
15031 | But how is it received? |
15031 | But how sudden the reverse? |
15031 | But how? |
15031 | But if David was a penitent before he was visited by Nathan, why had he concealed his repentance? |
15031 | But if God''s glory requires it, will not this reconcile the good and gain their consent? |
15031 | But if infidelity was to intervene the antichristian defection, and prevalence of religion in the latter days, is this hypothesis probable? |
15031 | But is not God grieved at the obstinacy of sinners? |
15031 | But is not this unreasonable and contrary to the Scriptures? |
15031 | But is not"every imagination of the thoughts of sinners hearts,"said in scripture to"be only evil continually?" |
15031 | But natural men are said to be"dead in sin"--and can the dead do aught which tends to their own resurrection? |
15031 | But the sacred historian represents it as being Samuel, and why should we reject his testimony? |
15031 | But was not fear of punishment used as a guard to innocence while man remained upright? |
15031 | But what coming of Christ is here referred to? |
15031 | But who will be made to possess these glorious things? |
15031 | But why is Christ faulted? |
15031 | But why marvelous? |
15031 | But why not? |
15031 | But why should the apostle wish evil to himself for their sakes? |
15031 | But why the distinction of"sons of God, and daughters of men?" |
15031 | But why the other restrictions included in the charge? |
15031 | But_ God our Savior will have all men to saved_; and shall not that which he wills be effected? |
15031 | But_ the perfect and upright man_, how happily different when death draws near? |
15031 | Cain is appealed to, to judge of this matter for himself--"If thou dost well, shalt thou not be accepted?" |
15031 | Can any thing contrary to his pleasure take place? |
15031 | Can we form an idea of ought more shocking? |
15031 | Canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection? |
15031 | Christ''s disciples, while in the body, often err; if acquainted with ourselves, we must often know this of ourselves; do we then see our faults? |
15031 | Could an apostate spirit have done these things? |
15031 | Did he think it sufficient to confess to God, and humble himself in secret? |
15031 | Did not it derive from Rome? |
15031 | Did these considerations prevent him from confessing his sins, and induce him to cover his transgressions? |
15031 | Do not many neglect it? |
15031 | Do we bless God for the former, and humble ourselves under the latter? |
15031 | Do we envy those who may live during the Peaceful reign of the Redeemer? |
15031 | Do we love God-- believe on his Son-- do his commandments, and trust his grace? |
15031 | Do we see the hand of God in them; acknowledge the comforts to be undeserved, and the corrections less than our demerits? |
15031 | Doth God frighten men with vain terrors? |
15031 | Doth he threaten evils which can never come? |
15031 | Doth it not increase from year to year, from age to age? |
15031 | For the all important inquiry is, confessedly, how to obtain salvation? |
15031 | Greater evidence than their word would have been demanded; as was afterwards of Christ--"What sign shewest thou, that we may believe thee?" |
15031 | Have our pious ancestors left ought in charge to us? |
15031 | He ranks them among those who deny him,"Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and done: the things which I say? |
15031 | He saith to him again a second time,''Simon son of Jonas, lovest thou me?'' |
15031 | He saith unto him the third time,''Simon son of Jonas, lovest thou me?'' |
15031 | How are we to understand it? |
15031 | How can such escape? |
15031 | How shall I deliver thee, Israel? |
15031 | How shall I deliver thee?" |
15031 | How shall I make thee as Admah, and set thee as Zeboim? |
15031 | How then could they be answerable for them? |
15031 | How would he appear? |
15031 | If God makes differences respecting every thing else, why not respecting religion? |
15031 | If Israel turn their backs before their enemies? |
15031 | If Paul needed something to keep him humble when favored with revelations, why not Abram? |
15031 | If Peter fell, who, left to himself, can stand? |
15031 | If any are disposed to inquire with Balak,_ Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God_? |
15031 | If once we turn aside from the literal sense of scripture, where shall we stop? |
15031 | If they call the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household?" |
15031 | If this is duly considered, Will not presumptuous sinners believe and tremble? |
15031 | If thy people fail to drive out their enemies and possess the land which thou hast sworn to give them?" |
15031 | If we attribute these divine communications to infernal agency, why not others? |
15031 | If, say they, be could continue so long secure and unconcerned, why not longer? |
15031 | If_ here_, they find no comfort and support, where will they find it? |
15031 | In Paul''s conversion how wonderfully apparent are the wisdom and power of God? |
15031 | In what manner could this be accomplished? |
15031 | In what sense then are the saints perfect? |
15031 | Is it less criminal or odious? |
15031 | Is it not thy will that we should become new creatures-- love thee-- love our duty, and resign ourselves to thy disposal? |
15031 | Is it not thy will, that we should be renewed and sanctified-- that we should repent of sin-- believe the gospel, and follow after holiness? |
15031 | Is its nature altered? |
15031 | Is not the distinction respecting the sanctity of divine ordinances from this source? |
15031 | Is not this a relic of popery? |
15031 | Is there knowledge in the most high?" |
15031 | Israel were suffering_ for his sin_ in numbering the people;"I have sinned and done wickedly; but these sheep, what have they done? |
15031 | It becomes us often to retire inward, and examine whether the love of Christ dwelleth in us? |
15031 | It is further asked, Whether God doth not act as a sovereign, in his choice of those whom he sanctifies and saves? |
15031 | It is further asked, Whether every motion toward a return to God, is not the effect of divine influence? |
15031 | It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? |
15031 | Jewish rancor towards him never abated, but he caught no share of their bitter spirit? |
15031 | Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee? |
15031 | Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee?'' |
15031 | Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee_? |
15031 | Knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and have power to release thee_? |
15031 | Let us bring home these considerations, and inquire how we are affected by God''s dealings with us, and what temper we maintain? |
15031 | Let us commune with our own hearts; attend to our temper and conduct; inquire whether we have taken up our cross, and are following Christ? |
15031 | Most of the errors referred to above, are found among Pagans or Catholics; but is nothing of the same kind chargeable on Protestants? |
15031 | No, when it exposeth to no suffering, or loss? |
15031 | Now, is it supposable, that the Savior would put a question to Simon, which would countenance the pharasaic disposition? |
15031 | O grave where is thy victory?" |
15031 | O my people what have I done unto thee? |
15031 | Of his making known his purposes to them, and enabling them to give the genuine proof of true prophets? |
15031 | Or compare himself with others, in a matter which required the knowledge of their hearts? |
15031 | Or could injustice be charged on God? |
15031 | Or do the former render us forgetful of God, and proud and scornful towards men? |
15031 | Or do they cause us to murmur and repine, as though we suffered unjustly? |
15031 | Or if this argument was necessary to be used with man before be fell, is it needless since he hath fallen? |
15031 | Or is there reason to think that those will have no power to serve God, who are freed from sluggish bodies? |
15031 | Or that he would require him to judge the hearts of others? |
15031 | Or would he if he could? |
15031 | Others,"Is this not the Christ?" |
15031 | Peter was grieved, because he said to him the third time,''Lovest thou me?'' |
15031 | Pilate saith unto him, Speak thou not unto me? |

15031 | Should we attempt to pry into it, the answer given by our Lord to an officious enquirer respecting another, might be applied--"What is that to thee?" |
15031 | Simon had on that occasion made a noble profession, shewing that he was a disciple indeed--"Lord, to whom shall we go? |
15031 | Some who witnessed his mighty works, exclaimed,"When Christ cometh will he do more miracles than this man hath done?" |
15031 | Such were the means used of God to propagate the gospel? |
15031 | Than the world and the things of it? |
15031 | That also of Joseph-- of Moses-- of Daniel? |
15031 | That he would become a Christian? |
15031 | That he would require him to judge them, and compare his love with theirs? |
15031 | That many of these vain substitutes are to be found among men, Who is insensible? |
15031 | That they were able to dislodge them from the bodies of men, by commanding them in Christ''s name? |
15031 | The passage literally translated stands thus? |
15031 | The pilgrimage of Jacob, how remarkably diversified with good and evil, with joy and sorrow? |

15031 | The wicked forget God or doubt his attention to their temper and conduct--"How doth God know? |
15031 | They admitted a plurality of God--some superior? |
15031 | They are errors of which this age is witness-- errors which have spread, and are yet spreading? |
15031 | They see indeed the evil of sin, and are sensible of its demerit? |
15031 | This venerable Kenite left a solemn charge to his posterity; but who could foresee the effect? |
15031 | To the eye of man how unequal the conflict? |
15031 | WHO is he that maketh me to differ from the thoughtless sinner? |
15031 | Was his enlarged and inquisitive mind satisfied at death? |
15031 | Was it not matter of joy that spirits, evil spirits were subject to them? |
15031 | We are to consider Balak''s inquiries.--_Wherewith shall I come before the Lord_? |
15031 | We will therefore, first take a general view_ of the prophecies respecting the moral state of the world, under the gospel dispensation? |
15031 | What advantage would accrue from changing with his brother to procure what God had required? |
15031 | What an occasion of joy? |
15031 | What folly then is hypocrisy? |
15031 | What had he to do with justice, who had often sported with it, to gratify his passions, or gain his selfish purposes? |
15031 | What hath so dire a tendency to solemnize the heart and impress it with the most just and weighty religious sentiments? |
15031 | What possible advantage could his sufferings have been to his nation? |
15031 | What strange manifestation of divine favor? |
15031 | What then is this fear? |
15031 | What? |
15031 | What? |
15031 | When every circumstance, in events so remarkable agree with the predictions, can doubt remain whether the predictions are fulfilled? |
15031 | When it both became the most cheap and easy of all duties? |
15031 | When tempted to it we should remember the caution given by Zophar,--"Canst thou by searching find out God? |
15031 | When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? |
15031 | When trembling, astonished Saul, of Tarsus enquired,"Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?" |
15031 | When we contemplate these things, what a series of wonders rise to our view? |
15031 | When we thus view the subject can a doubt remain respecting the sense of this text? |
15031 | When_ the son of man cometh shall he find faith on the earth_? |
15031 | Whence then its origin? |
15031 | Where are we directed to attend quarterly seasons of prayer, or to hold weekly conferences for religious purposes? |
15031 | Where is the injustice or impropriety of trying some with gospel advantages; others only with the light of nature? |
15031 | Where then are we directed of God, religiously to observe Christmas, Lent, or Easter? |
15031 | Where to attend the eucharist only twice or thrice a year; and never without one, or more preparatory lectures? |
15031 | Wherefore then the prohibition? |
15031 | Who can do other than approve it? |
15031 | Who can understand some things contained in what is called a revelation? |
15031 | Who could have expected Christ''s little flock, devoid of every worldly advantage, to have maintained their ground against such formidable enemies? |
15031 | Who ever appeared to have stronger confidence in himself than Peter? |
15031 | Who had done it openly, and it was matter of public notoriety? |
15031 | Who knows that his posterity may not imitate those of this man of God? |
15031 | Who not of our race could have made such a declaration? |
15031 | Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" |
15031 | Who then are intended by_ the fearful_? |
15031 | Who then would suspect that he should be made to feel the power of divine grace? |
15031 | Who would not willingly suffer many deaths to enjoy these things? |
15031 | Who, judging by the rules of man''s judgment, have entertained a suspicion that they would not soon be driven from the field? |
15031 | Why are not these ways of honoring God and exciting devotion commendable, when they render the worshipper thus fervent in spirit to serve the Lord? |
15031 | Why dost thou strive with him? |
15031 | Why has not the same the like effect on these? |
15031 | Why should we wonder when we consider the agent? |
15031 | Why spread a veil over it and neglected to glorify God by a confession of his sins? |
15031 | Why then had he neglected it? |
15031 | Why this discrimination? |
15031 | Will not this disposition be increased and strengthened? |
15031 | Will reason justify punishing some men for other men''s sins? |
15031 | Will the Lord be pleased with, thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? |
15031 | Will they not perceive their hopes to be vain? |
15031 | Will this cease to be his disposition when the remains of depravity shall be done away? |
15031 | Would he be angry, if all which is done was pleasing in his sight? |
15031 | Would the latter have occasion to complain? |
15031 | _ Do we do justly, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God_? |

15031 | the temper of Christ governed in him? |
15031 | where is thy sting? |
34688 | But what are these among so many? |
34688 | But you have great warrant for such deeds? |
34688 | But,asks a looker- on,"What is all this for?" |
34688 | Call you that backing your friends? |
34688 | Is Saul among the prophets? |
34688 | Is this the way to make them love the Union and slavery, and hate freedom for all mankind? |
34688 | What sort of a measure is this fugitive slave law? |
34688 | What treatment did it receive from the founder of the gospel dispensation? 34688 **** On mischiefe why sett''st thou thy minde, and wilt not walke upright? 34688 ***** How are we provided with these three safeguards just now? 34688 ***** How shall the scholar pay for his education? 34688 ***** What is man here on earth to accomplish? 34688 ***** What shall I say of the character of the man who has left this high office; of him on the whole? 34688 --We are told that Elijah gathered the prophets together;and he came unto all the people, and said, How long halt ye? |
34688 | A jury? |
34688 | A new and just political idea; an organization thereof? |

34688 | Aye, but how do the great States come to an end? |
34688 | Because we must sometimes do a disagreeable deed to accomplish an agreeable purpose? |
34688 | Because you enslaved this man''s father, have you a natural right to enslave his child? |
34688 | But I put it to you, Is it the opinion of Massachusetts? |

34688 | But how? |
34688 | But is all this enough to make a great man in the middle of this century; a great man in America, and for such an office? |

34688 | Does not Mr. Webster know this? |
34688 | Does the command make it any man''s duty? |
34688 | Dost thou forget thine own great men,--thy Washington, thy Jefferson? |
34688 | Dost thou not know there is a God, whose mercies last alwaies? |
34688 | Dost thou shudder? |
34688 | Failing in this attempt, what was to be done that the law might be executed? |

59991 | Did He who has said,"Son, give me thy heart,"ask for a corrupt and treacherous heart? |
59991 | Did He who made the human heart make it ungrateful? |
59991 | Did He who so loves us make those He loves selfish? |
59991 | Did I not say well, my brethren, that the mystery of the Holy Trinity is an illumination of the mystery of creation? |
59991 | Did he put his house in order? |
59991 | Did the ruins of your land and the graves of your ancestors awaken in your bosoms no longer any feelings of attachment and veneration? |
59991 | Did your native hills lose their charms for you? |
59991 | Do not also the heathen the same? |
59991 | Do not even the publicans the same? |
59991 | Do the sins and offences of others destroy your peace of mind, and dry up within you the fountains of mercy and pity for sinners? |
59991 | Do they consider their present state a true one in all respects-- true before their conscience, and without doubt before their intelligence? |
59991 | Do they not appear occasionally in the tribunal of penance? |
59991 | Do they not go to Mass? |
59991 | Do they regard their religion as a sure religion? |
59991 | Do they want to get back the lost love of God? |
59991 | Do we follow Christ when we are covetous and hard hearted? |
59991 | Do we follow Christ when we go to places of drunkenness and debauchery? |
59991 | Do we follow Christ when we refuse to forgive our enemies? |
59991 | Do we prize thee, O divine gift, as these have done? |
59991 | Do you hope for heaven? |
59991 | Do you know anything of a husband''s affection or of a father''s love? |
59991 | Do you love your own immortal soul? |
59991 | Do you love your religion? |
59991 | Do you not hear a righteous God, your judge, demanding in tones of wrath,"Dram- shop, where are my children? |
59991 | Do you not know that to suffer for any one is to give a better proof of love than to confer favors and benefits? |
59991 | Do you not remember? |
59991 | Do you remember all that? |
59991 | Do you remember when Sunday morning comes, and the priest is ascending the altar, that you are a Catholic, and where a Catholic should be found then? |
59991 | Do you see in him Jesus Christ? |
59991 | Do you tremble no more when you hear of justice, of chastity, and of the judgment to come? |
59991 | Do you wish you could feel more like God, kind and long- suffering, and less like Satan, watching for the falls of others, and exulting over them? |
59991 | Does God not feel that heartless coldness and neglect of theirs? |
59991 | Does He say to you as He said to that lost disciple,"Friend, dost thou betray the Son of Man with a kiss?" |
59991 | Does he receive it in as good dispositions as would make it a worthy Communion if he were well, and had received it in the church at the altar? |
59991 | Does he receive it worthily? |
59991 | Does it seem to us, as it is, a great thing-- a precious gift? |
59991 | Does the demon of intemperance, of anger, or of lust creep stealthily into your breast, and leave foul traces of his presence there? |
59991 | For can anything be more dismal, more barren, more pointless, than a Christianity in which the Blessed Sacrament and the Blessed Virgin have no place? |
59991 | For if you love those that love you, what reward shall you have? |
59991 | For it were better for thee to enter lame and blind into life everlasting, than, having two hands or two eyes, to be cast into hell- fire"? |
59991 | For what could we do so real and true as this? |
59991 | For what happens? |
59991 | Had he time to do it? |
59991 | Had we not all in having Him? |
59991 | Hark to that outburst of generous love from his undaunted heart--"Who, then, shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
59991 | Has not God provided the Holy Sacrament of Penance, where, with little trouble, the soul can be washed and cleansed from all its defilements? |
59991 | Have I any real, well- grounded hope of salvation? |
59991 | Have I considered this matter, and looked it steadily in the face? |
59991 | Have I the principle, the fixed, well- grounded principle, which ought to govern all the actions of a Christian? |
59991 | Have they now that truth which shall stand the trial at the coming of Jesus Christ? |
59991 | Have they the true faith? |
59991 | Have they undertaken to deny themselves anything they had a strong desire for, in order not to commit mortal sin? |
59991 | Have you a human heart yet left beating in your bosom? |
59991 | Have you any manly pride left? |
59991 | Have you no affection left for those parents, those brothers and sisters and kindred, left in the old home? |
59991 | Have you not, after all, given up the devil and his works? |
59991 | Have you really come back to make up with Him, or have you come-- O horrible thought!--only like Judas to betray Him? |
59991 | Have you received the Easter Communion? |
59991 | He is deeper than hell, and how wilt thou know?" |
59991 | He is higher than heaven, and what wilt thou do? |
59991 | Here it might become me to enumerate some of these gifts, but where would I begin, or where could I end? |
59991 | How can God give Himself to the man who is absorbed in money- making and heaping up possessions? |
59991 | How could we realize in a better way the simplest and at the same time the most sublime of all truths? |
59991 | How do your neighbors speak of you? |
59991 | How does the sight of it affect you? |
59991 | How is that? |
59991 | How shall I conduct myself and order my life, so as constantly to preserve and increase it? |
59991 | I am not forcing upon your notice a subject out of place at this joyous season, am I? |
59991 | If it is not yours also, is it proper to call you by His name, Christians? |
59991 | Is he signed and consecrated to God, and are his senses purified, and his soul strengthened? |
59991 | Is it enough to remember that? |
59991 | Is it hard for you to think of God? |
59991 | Is it in sorrow for their sins? |
59991 | Is it not so? |
59991 | Is it pride and love of fame, or selfishness? |
59991 | Is she not our pride, our glory, our comfort? |
59991 | Is that the reason, I wonder, why there are no new toys and presents now at Christmas or at Easter, as in the days gone by? |
59991 | Is the majesty, the power, the holiness of that God to whom you belong forgotten? |
59991 | Is there anything that we are, or have, or can be that is not of God? |
59991 | Is your confession made for this year? |
59991 | Is your life to- day such as you would like it to be, if to- morrow you are to die? |
59991 | It is a fearful thought to be in that Presence, for it must compel us to ask ourselves-- Are we indeed the image and likeness of the Living God? |
59991 | It is the development of the response to the question that every Catholic child can answer-- Why did God create you? |
59991 | It is the question of the Psalmist,"Who is wise, and will keep these things in mind, and will understand the mercies of the Lord?" |
59991 | It is to be saved from death; it is to be cured of their diseases; and what does it all amount to, but that they are trying to make a truce with God? |
59991 | Let each one ask himself this question: Do I come up to the standard? |
59991 | Let us ask ourselves whence does God receive the life of His Divine Being? |
59991 | No word of thanks at your Communion-- not a grateful thought in your heart? |
59991 | Now, we may ask what is the reason the Lord showed this marked preference and especial affection for St. John above the other Apostles? |
59991 | Now, whence do these objections arise? |
59991 | Of what value are your prayers it you lead such a life? |
59991 | Of whom do the kings of the earth take tribute or custom? |
59991 | Or, are you one who dares do great things for the God who has done so much for you? |
59991 | Shall all we hold sacred be caricatured, calumniated, and we sit with folded arms in silence? |
59991 | Shall tribulation, or distress, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or persecution, or the sword? |
59991 | Shall we not turn their own weapons against them? |
59991 | Should you not rather be called, according to His way of naming, heathens and publicans? |
59991 | St. John tells us in his epistle:"How can we love God whom we have not seen, when we love not our neighbor whom we have seen?" |
59991 | Tell me, can you lift your heart to Him to- day, and say in truth-- My God, Thou knowest that I have not forgotten Thee? |
59991 | That it should simply distinguish us from those who do not possess it, and to lie idle and fruitless in our soul? |
59991 | The Holy Sacrament of the altar, where the soul is nourished, and strengthened, and adorned by feeding on the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ? |
59991 | The boy, his eldest boy, that was to be sent to college, was sent up last week to prison for shoplifting; and the girl-- where is she gone? |
59991 | The question is not-- Am I growing in the field of the Church? |
59991 | The servants asked their lord,"Shall we not go out and pull up the tares?" |
59991 | Then comes the natural thought What shall I do to acquire this treasure? |
59991 | Then shall the just answer: Lord, when did we see Thee hungry, and fed Thee; thirsty, and gave Thee drink? |
59991 | Then why is it that we give way under our sufferings, our daily trials and crosses? |
59991 | They come to pray to God for forgiveness of their sins; and what do they say? |
59991 | They pray, it is true, but how? |
59991 | This promise is recorded in the sixteenth chapter of St. Matthew''s Gospel:{ 202}"Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am? |
59991 | To what end has he blessed us with the gift of faith? |
59991 | To whom does the Holy Ghost come in His fulness? |
59991 | Was Jesus, the Lamb of God, slain for our sins, to be eaten, and with unleavened bread? |
59991 | Was he in a fit state to do it? |
59991 | Was it merely because we had done so in past years? |
59991 | Was it when He went about doing good, working miracles, preaching His divine doctrine? |
59991 | We are cunning enough in the ways of the world, but why so slow to understand the ways of God? |
59991 | Well, and what is the business of the clergy? |
59991 | What are the sins of the dram- seller? |
59991 | What did He say? |
59991 | What do I mean by this sacrifice? |
59991 | What does this signify? |
59991 | What explains this cold forgetfulness, this heartless indifference, that steals over us so soon? |
59991 | What good to have had the sacraments in life, or even at the hour of death, if we have not on the wedding garment? |
59991 | What good will it do us to have gone to the church and heard the sermons, if we have not on the wedding garment? |
59991 | What is He as cause, and what is this divine life of His being which is the effect of that cause? |
59991 | What is Truth? |
59991 | What is his story? |
59991 | What is it that stimulates them in their pursuits? |
59991 | What is it? |
59991 | What is one to do? |
59991 | What is the consequence? |
59991 | What is the reason of a central government, with a president at its head, in Washington? |
59991 | What is the reason, my dear brethren, that you are all here to- night? |
59991 | What is the secret of this apparent contradiction? |
59991 | What is the story of such people in the confessional? |
59991 | What is this wedding garment? |
59991 | What of your present remembrance? |
59991 | What other Comforter is there in heaven to give that will be better than He? |
59991 | What other Comforter of our souls would we ask or could we need than Him? |
59991 | What other light and grace could we desire both to detect and shun all evil, and to delight in what is pure and true? |
59991 | What pays them for all their trouble? |
59991 | What shall I say? |
59991 | What shall the presence of the All- Holy be unable to do? |
59991 | What sustains these men of science? |
59991 | What was all that for? |
59991 | What, dear brethren, is the end and object for which we live in this world? |
59991 | What, then, shall we do to spend Lent well? |
59991 | When I read the Gospel for to- day, which describes the raising of the widow''s son to life, I ask myself the question-- Did he die prepared? |
59991 | When his soul had departed, could his widowed mother console herself with the thought-- He lived a good life, and he died a good death? |
59991 | When the Father in His love sent Him to us, did he not send all He could give? |
59991 | When was Jesus Christ the Master of the world? |
59991 | When will He come around? |
59991 | Where is the house and lot gone to? |
59991 | Where was it that He drew all things to Himself by the cords of Adam and the bands of love? |
59991 | Who are the false prophets we have the most need to be warned against at this present time? |
59991 | Who are the people of God? |
59991 | Who does not see here that pre- eminence of St. Peter over his colleagues which is expressed by the title, Prince of the Apostles? |
59991 | Who is the author of His life? |
59991 | Who is this Divine Comforter? |
59991 | Why all these studies-- why so much time, energy, patience, and devotion to the sciences? |
59991 | Why are our souls enlarged and raised above the senses in listening to strains of music composed by a Palestrina or a Beethoven or a Mozart? |
59991 | Why did we do so? |
59991 | Why do men love poetry, music, architecture, painting, and sculpture? |
59991 | Why do people despair of ever being happy? |
59991 | Why do so many grow faint- hearted, and think that there is no rest, no peace, for them? |
59991 | Why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?" |
59991 | Why does He not reveal Himself? |
59991 | Why does he not go to work? |
59991 | Why forever trying to lie to ourselves, and leave Him out of account? |
59991 | Why has the faith been stolen from the nations? |
59991 | Why have the verses of a Homer, a Dante, a Shakespeare, been the delight of ages? |
59991 | Why is it to be esteemed above liberty, the possession of wealth, more than friends, parents, the whole world, and even more than life itself? |
59991 | Why is she holy? |
59991 | Why not? |
59991 | Why should they interfere with private or family affairs? |
59991 | Why should they meddle with questions of politics or government? |
59991 | Why should they not? |
59991 | Why should they say anything about a man''s business, or try to interfere with his personal liberty to do this or that? |
59991 | Why should this be repeated all over the world? |
59991 | Why this sacrifice of the body and blood of Jesus Christ? |
59991 | Why was St. Peter willing to be bound and imprisoned for the faith of Christ? |
59991 | Why, then, have you renounced all that men hold so dear? |
59991 | Why? |
59991 | With holy Job, he exclaims:"If we have received good things at the hand of God, why should we not receive evil?" |
59991 | With how much devotion does he receive the Holy Viaticum and the Extreme Unction? |
59991 | Would you like to hear the approval of your Divine Lord and Master on the Last Great Day of Account? |
59991 | Yes; but do you not see that it is just in the Blessed Sacrament that He brings that proof home to us? |
59991 | Yes; but what avails such a heartless remembrance as yours has been? |
59991 | [ Footnote 19] Where is your Christian faith and trust in God? |
59991 | [ Footnote 29] To whom, then? |
59991 | [ Footnote 61] In Job it is asked,"Peradventure thou wilt comprehend the steps of God, and find out the Almighty perfectly? |
59991 | and when did we see Thee a stranger, and took Thee in? |
59991 | because it is a Catholic custom? |
59991 | because others did so, and we were expected to do the same? |
59991 | but-- Am I the wheat? |
59991 | how is this? |
59991 | how long will ye be dull of heart? |
59991 | made no life- preparation of this solemn account, and it is too late now? |
59991 | of their children or of strangers? |
59991 | or naked, and covered Thee? |
59991 | or the tares, fit only for the burning? |
59991 | or when did we ever see Thee sick or in prison, and visit Thee? |
59991 | that''s the way you manage it, is it?" |
59991 | what is truth?" |
59991 | who is proud of the gifts of God? |
59991 | why have you stayed so long away?" |
59991 | why is it? |
59991 | { 101} Who is there that can approach here without crying out with the Psalmist,"What shall I render to the Lord for all that He has rendered to me? |
59991 | { 110} But who among men belong thus entirely to God? |
59991 | { 115} Does your heart burn to offer Him a glorious and complete sacrifice, and yet you can not summon up the courage to accomplish it? |
59991 | { 167} And what are we but cold and unsympathizing, selfish and thankless, toward our best Friend? |
59991 | { 16} Would we like to enter upon a new year wholly ignorant of the past one? |
59991 | { 178} The mind of man can not long blind its sight to the illumination of the truth; but who shall subdue and win the hardened heart? |
59991 | { 184} What is it that gives to faith its priceless value? |
59991 | { 190} Most of you, my dear brethren, are from the old country, and have come to this strange land-- and why? |
59991 | { 277} Do you wish to escape such a lamentable end? |
59991 | { 289} Could anything be more wanton and impudent than such conduct? |
59991 | { 29} I am not asking too much, my brethren, am I? |
59991 | { 301} Why are you sick, you who have no grievous crimes to expiate-- you whose whole heart has belonged to God this many a day? |
59991 | { 316}"Scandals must needs come,"said our Saviour; but is it, therefore, necessary for us to think about them and brood over them? |
59991 | { 323} Now, what was the characteristic virtue of this great Apostle, which rendered him so like to Christ and so dear to Him? |
59991 | { 38} How can we love God if we be absorbed in a love of good eating and drinking? |
59991 | { 67} What kind of Christians are we? |
59991 | { 82} Where is the furniture gone to? |
59991 | { 87} Do you love your good name as a citizen? |
59991 | { 93} What was that a type of? |
59991 | { 96} Is it not the moment of supreme happiness, and of such happiness that nothing else is like it in the world? |
33520 | ''And believeth on Him that sent me--''"You believe God sent Jesus? |
33520 | ''He that heareth My Word--''"You believe that? |
33520 | Are not you the man who has been begging here every night? |
33520 | Are you a Christian? |
33520 | Be''s I free, or be I not? |
33520 | Ca n''t you turn her head round? |
33520 | Can not Christ find him, and bring him back? |
33520 | Did n''t I tell you I would catch you? |
33520 | Did you really get it in that way? |
33520 | Do you believe it is a fact? |
33520 | Do you remember the young man who answered you so roughly the other night? |
33520 | How did it happen? |
33520 | How did you know it was good money? |
33520 | How do you know it was the right kind of hand? |
33520 | How is that? |
33520 | How was it done? |
33520 | I thought you said you would not believe anything you could not reason out? |
33520 | If I say, I''ll trust Him, will He save me? |
33520 | Then what have you got the lantern for? |
33520 | WHY DON''T YOU LOVE JESUS? |
33520 | Well, but,say some,"is there not a sowing time as well as harvest?" |
33520 | Well, did n''t I say''whosoever''? |
33520 | Well,I said,"how long have you been one?" |
33520 | What am I to do, then? |
33520 | What does your church believe? |
33520 | What have you done with that blood? |
33520 | What must I do to be saved? |
33520 | Where did you get your good clothes? 33520 Why not? |
33520 | Why, I was listening to your sermon last night, and when you asked,''Who''ll receive Him now?'' 33520 Why,"says the mistress,"what are you talking about? |
33520 | Willie, did n''t I tell you I would catch you? 33520 Wilt thou go with this man?" |
33520 | You believe you_ have_ everlasting life? |
33520 | 15:"How shall they preach, except they be sent? |
33520 | 24, we read:"Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered? |
33520 | 40, where we find him saying to the other thief,"Dost not thou fear God?" |
33520 | Am I to depend upon my works? |
33520 | And I ask you,"Will you not be reconciled?" |
33520 | And I would like to ask you this question, Has not God a right to say who shall come into His kingdom, and how we shall come? |
33520 | And Saul cried out,"Who art thou?" |
33520 | And as I go on through the world I can shout now, when the bell is tolling,"O death, where is thy sting?" |
33520 | And now God comes down into this unbelieving world, and says,"Who will set to his seal that I am true?" |
33520 | And now, my dear friends, did you ever ask yourselves, Which is the worst-- the leprosy of sin, or the leprosy of the body? |
33520 | And so I want to ask the friends in this hall, Who will set to his seal or her seal that God is true? |
33520 | And so this young man was met by Satan, who whispered to him,"How do you know that is a right translation?" |
33520 | And the thought flashed across my mind,"Will there be no difference? |
33520 | And the young man said,"Doctor, do you believe that?" |
33520 | And what convicted him? |
33520 | And what was the message that the angels brought to those shepherds? |
33520 | And when Rebekah appeared, they said to her,"Wilt thou go with this man?" |
33520 | And when she asks him,"Well, husband, how is it?" |
33520 | And where are you then? |
33520 | And why? |
33520 | And, sinner, can you, in all your difficulties or doubts and fears, have a better leader than Jehovah? |
33520 | Are we in difficulties, in doubt, or in perplexity? |
33520 | Are we willing to receive what Christ has already done? |
33520 | Are you going to let present opportunity pass without coming to Christ? |
33520 | Are you going to let these solemn moments come to an end without entering the ark? |
33520 | Are you in doubt about anything? |
33520 | Are you ready to confess Him as your Lord and Saviour, and take your stand by the Master, and say from this hour, I will serve the Lord Jesus? |
33520 | At last an old man got up, and said,"What is the matter with us, that we are downhearted and sad? |
33520 | But did that take away his guilt? |
33520 | But do we walk thus in an unclouded sky? |
33520 | But how could God be just and the justifier of sinners? |
33520 | But now the grave has lost its terror and gloom; I can go and look down into the grave and shout over it, and cry out,"O grave, where is thy victory?" |
33520 | But suppose I meet a man whom I have seen out here night after night begging, and I say to him,"Hullo, beggar, is that you?" |
33520 | But when his money was gone, where were his friends? |
33520 | But who did Christ say it to? |
33520 | By and by the pilot was heard to say,"Do you see the lower lights?" |
33520 | Can you bring life to the dead? |
33520 | Can you buy it? |
33520 | Can you by yourself make them clean? |
33520 | Can you do a better thing than trust to God for salvation? |
33520 | Can you feel that He has lifted your burden off your shoulders on to His own shoulder? |
33520 | Dear afflicted mothers, has God not removed your children to a pure and happy life? |
33520 | Did I understand you aright? |
33520 | Did you ever hear of any one going down to hell trusting in Jesus? |
33520 | Did you ever hear of anybody being cured of leprosy?" |
33520 | Did you ever think what a terrible state of things it would be if man was allowed to live for ever in his lost, ruined state? |
33520 | Do n''t you? |
33520 | Do you believe more than ever that you are a sinner? |
33520 | Do you know why?" |
33520 | Do you say Christ is nothing to you? |
33520 | Do you think when that boy grew up he could fail to love that mother who died to save him? |
33520 | Do you want to know how to get faith? |
33520 | Do you want to know the reason why? |
33520 | Do you want to know what it is? |
33520 | For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report? |
33520 | Glorious, is it not, to know we have such a Saviour? |
33520 | God says,"Let him take"; who can stop us if God says it? |
33520 | Has God ever broken His word? |
33520 | Has not England a right to say who shall rule it, and who shall be its Queen? |
33520 | Has the Blood touched you? |
33520 | Have I been born of the Spirit?" |
33520 | Have they taken you to theatres and vicious places, and left you bleeding and wounded? |
33520 | Have you not heard of it?" |
33520 | He attempted to write, with the same result; every letter seemed to ask him,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?" |
33520 | He might have turned on Peter and said,"Peter, is it true you do n''t know me? |
33520 | He says,"What do you mean by being born again-- born from above, born of the Spirit? |
33520 | He thought at first to push her aside, but the child pressed it home again,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?" |
33520 | He thought,"How am I to tell his parents?" |
33520 | He turned round, and said,"My friend, are you not blind?" |
33520 | He went on to his office, but he felt as if every letter he opened read,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?" |
33520 | His breath departs from him, he dies, and where is your help? |
33520 | His wife says,"Where did you get that Bible?" |
33520 | How am I to be saved? |
33520 | How are you going to wash them? |
33520 | How can He be in us if we do n''t receive Him and trust Him? |
33520 | How is this you are not a beggar?" |
33520 | How many people want to do the same nowadays? |
33520 | I am satisfied with the finished work of my Son, and will you be satisfied?" |
33520 | I ask you once again,"Where will you spend eternity? |
33520 | I can fancy Naaman''s indignation as he asks,"Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? |
33520 | I can imagine him saying to his servant,"What did you say? |
33520 | I have been asked by a great many good men,"Why is it we do n''t have any results? |
33520 | I imagine some of you will say,"Have n''t I anything to do?" |
33520 | I said,"Do you believe the Bible?" |
33520 | I say to you, young man, will you have this gift? |
33520 | I say,"My friend, what makes you so happy?" |
33520 | I went forward and said,"Are you a Christian?" |
33520 | If Christ did not die for our sins, what is going to become of our souls? |
33520 | If God does not save us, who will? |
33520 | If He did not, how are we going to get rid of them? |
33520 | If any one is here that really loves a man, is she thinking of how much she will have to give up? |
33520 | If death should come after any one of us to- night, are we sheltered behind the blood? |
33520 | If he do n''t, what is the good of trying to build a house? |
33520 | If there is a persecutor here to- night, I would ask you,"Why persecute Jesus?" |
33520 | If we are dark and sorrowful, how is the world to know that we are children of peace, and joy, and gladness? |
33520 | If we make light of that blood, what is going to become of our souls? |
33520 | If you are ever to be saved, why not now? |
33520 | If you die without Christ, without hope, and without God, where will you be? |
33520 | If you do not pity him and love him when I am dead and gone, who will?" |
33520 | If you make light of so great a salvation, how can you escape the damnation of hell? |
33520 | Is He not worthy of it? |
33520 | Is it not a wonderful thing? |
33520 | Is it not good news to get rid of your sin? |
33520 | Is it not the very best thing you can do? |
33520 | Is it true you have forgotten how I cured and healed your wife''s mother when she lay at the point of death? |
33520 | Is it true you have forgotten how I raised you up when you were sinking in the sea? |
33520 | Is it true you have forgotten that mountain scene when you wanted to build the three tabernacles? |
33520 | Is it true, Peter, you have forgotten me?" |
33520 | Is not God worthy of our confidence? |
33520 | Is not God worthy of our trust? |
33520 | Is not that good news? |
33520 | Is not that wonderful? |
33520 | Is that all I have to do?" |
33520 | Is that there?" |
33520 | Is there any place in the Bible where it says''Take,''or is it only a word you use? |
33520 | Is there any reason why you should not have faith in God? |
33520 | Is there not a Ruth here? |
33520 | It cost God so much to give us this blood, and shall we try to keep it from the world which is perishing from the want of it? |
33520 | It is the most solemn question that will ever come before you down here,"Have I been born from above? |
33520 | It''s very cheap, is n''t it? |
33520 | Let me ask the poor backslider, Did you ever feel the touch of the hand of Jesus? |
33520 | Let me ask you, my friend, Is there any reason why you should hate Christ, or why your heart should be turned against Him? |
33520 | Listen, and hear what He says--"Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?" |
33520 | Make haste to be wise; for"how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?" |
33520 | Moody?" |
33520 | Moody?" |
33520 | Mother, father, will you claim Him as your Shepherd? |
33520 | My friends, are you going to"Take"to- night? |
33520 | My little child, will you have Jesus as your Shepherd? |
33520 | Now I am old, can I a second time enter my mother''s womb, and be born again?" |
33520 | Now faith is-- what? |
33520 | Now just let me stop a minute, and you think, and ask yourselves this question,"Have I been born again?" |
33520 | Now, can you tell me by what process that same grass was turned into feathers, hair, bristles, and wool?" |
33520 | Now, is it too much to ask or to expect that every person in this hall should put their faith in God? |
33520 | Now, my friends, will you go with this man? |
33520 | Now, my friends, you may say you pity a man who was so badly off, but did it ever strike you that you are a thousand times worse off? |
33520 | Now, one question: What are you going to do with Christ? |
33520 | Now, who will accept of that redemption? |
33520 | Now, you that never trusted Him, wo n''t you just leap right into His arms to- night? |
33520 | Now, young man, do you want Him to save you? |
33520 | Oh, sheriff, why did you not tell me? |
33520 | Only this afternoon, as I was in the inquiry- room, a person came in, and I said,"Are you a Christian?" |
33520 | Or can you raise up a dead body by saying,"Young man, arise"? |
33520 | People say,"What is faith?" |
33520 | Saul of Tarsus, Zacchà ¦ us, and a host of others; how long did it take the Lord to bring them about? |
33520 | Shall it be with the saints, and martyrs, and prophets, or in the dark caverns of hell, amidst blackness and darkness for ever? |
33520 | She came again, and I asked,"What is the trouble?" |
33520 | She looked strangely at me, and said,"Do n''t you believe me?" |
33520 | Sinner, how are you going to get your robes clean if you do n''t get them washed in the blood of the Lamb? |
33520 | So she went to the doctor, and said,"Would you like me to take care of my boy?" |
33520 | Some of you smile at this illustration, but the Bible uses it, and if God uses it in His word, why should not I? |
33520 | Some people say,"Why, if these men are holding, as you say, error, why should they be so in earnest?" |
33520 | Some think much of their dinner; why should not God''s children think a good deal of THEIR SPIRITUAL FOOD? |
33520 | Suppose I were to say, I will give this Bible to"whosoever"; what have you got to do? |
33520 | Suppose the windows of this building were all closed, and we were complaining of the darkness, what would any one say to us? |
33520 | Surely that is broad enough-- is it not? |
33520 | THE RIGHT KIND OF FAITH"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?" |
33520 | Take that away, and what is my hope in heaven? |
33520 | That was a glorious thing to do, was it not, sinner? |
33520 | That was a good number in a short time, was it not? |
33520 | The President saw the child, and called her to him, and said,"My child, what can I do for you?" |
33520 | The dying man sprang up from his cot, and said,"What do you say? |
33520 | The following Sunday night I was preaching about"receiving,"and I put the question,"Who''ll receive Him now?" |
33520 | The great question is-- Have you got the token? |
33520 | The man turned deathly pale, and he threw up both his hands, and said,"Was that Governor Pollock? |
33520 | The next day he called upon me-- he was a merchant in that city-- and said,"Do you remember me?" |
33520 | Then he said,"Wo n''t you please read it to me again?" |
33520 | Then why not ask Him? |
33520 | Then you say,"If it is not by working in earnest, how am I to be saved?" |
33520 | There are moments in the life of us all when we seem in a fix; we just stand still, and say,"What shall I do? |
33520 | There is a man dying-- can you put new life into him? |
33520 | There may be some who are saying, Why does God demand blood? |
33520 | There was an old man sitting there listening, and he said to them,"You say you wo n''t believe anything you ca n''t reason out?" |
33520 | There was love and sympathy in that hand, and the moment the slumbering boy felt it, he said,"Oh, mother, have you come?" |
33520 | They asked Christ,"What must we do that we may work the works of God?" |
33520 | They were terribly in earnest, yet did God hear their cry? |
33520 | True, it was written over His cross,"Jesus, the King of the Jews"; but where was His kingdom? |
33520 | Very simple, is n''t it? |
33520 | WHAT IS CHRIST TO YOU? |
33520 | WHERE WILL YOU BE A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE?" |
33520 | WHO WILL HAVE IT? |
33520 | Was it not a change? |
33520 | Was it their good resolutions or their works? |
33520 | Well, how long did it take Naaman to be cured? |
33520 | Well, if man do not ask payment twice, will God? |
33520 | What act could have been more black and hellish? |
33520 | What are you going to do? |
33520 | What convicted him? |
33520 | What could stand before them then? |
33520 | What did he do? |
33520 | What did the mother do? |
33520 | What do you say?" |
33520 | What does Christ say to him? |
33520 | What does Ruth say? |
33520 | What has brought darkness into the world? |
33520 | What has that to do with the new birth, being united with the church on earth? |
33520 | What is He willing to be to you, if you will have Him? |
33520 | What is he to do there? |
33520 | What is he to do? |
33520 | What is his name? |
33520 | What is that to do with the new birth and the new creation? |
33520 | What is the gift of God if it is not eternal life? |
33520 | What is this but the bloodshedding and death of Christ? |
33520 | What is your burden, my friend, that you can not leave with Christ?" |
33520 | What made the difference? |
33520 | What more can you do, and what less can you do than trust Him? |
33520 | What now do they need? |
33520 | What right have I to complain? |
33520 | What right have you to cut a verse in two, and say you believe the one half, but not the other? |
33520 | What says the great wilderness preacher? |
33520 | What was it saved those men? |
33520 | What was it then that convicted this poor thief? |
33520 | What was it? |
33520 | What was to be done? |
33520 | What would you say? |
33520 | What would you think of a farmer who went on sowing all the year round, and never thought of reaping? |
33520 | When the hunters see it coming, what do they do? |
33520 | Whence comes our want of faith? |
33520 | Where will you be a hundred years hence?" |
33520 | Where will you be, on the left or the right hand of God? |
33520 | Who was he? |
33520 | Who will come to God as the poor prodigal did? |
33520 | Who will have Christ-- who will trust Him? |
33520 | Who will have faith in Him to- night? |
33520 | Who will have it now? |
33520 | Who will say it this afternoon? |
33520 | Who will say to- night, as Ruth did,"I will follow thee; and thy God shall be my God"? |
33520 | Who will say yes to- night, and take it? |
33520 | Who will set to his seal that God is true? |
33520 | Who will take God at His word to- night? |
33520 | Who will take Him? |
33520 | Who will trust Him to- night? |
33520 | Whoever heard of a man going out to fish, and setting his net, and then letting it stop there, and never pulling it in? |
33520 | Why is that? |
33520 | Why should not every man and woman in this house have faith in God? |
33520 | Why should not every one put confidence in Him now, and trust God to save them? |
33520 | Why, suppose a man said,"Mr. Moody, I have no faith in you whatever,"do n''t you think it would grieve me? |
33520 | Why, then, are we not full of faith in Him? |
33520 | Why? |
33520 | Why? |
33520 | Why? |
33520 | Why? |
33520 | Will Pa deceive you? |
33520 | Will any one take up the language of Ruth? |
33520 | Will you despise the mercy of God? |
33520 | Will you have the pardon, or will you despise the gift of God? |
33520 | Will you not lay hold of the promise, and trust it, and follow Him now? |
33520 | Will you receive His love and compassion? |
33520 | Wo n''t you just take Him at His word, and believe on Him now? |
33520 | Wo n''t you please read it to me again?" |
33520 | Wonderful thing, is it not, to have God to help us on our way? |
33520 | Would any judge in the land support him? |
33520 | Would you call that being born from above? |
33520 | Would you have it return? |
33520 | Would you insult the Almighty by offering the fruits of this frail body to atone for sin? |
33520 | You belong to that class, do n''t you? |
33520 | You may get angry, like a man a short time ago, who marched out of a church, saying,"What right has that American to make such a statement?" |
33520 | You want to be fed; are you going to wander about seeking something to satisfy the cravings of your soul? |
33520 | You, mother, are you weeping bitter tears for your little one? |
33520 | Young man, I will leave you to answer the question, Was it not a good thing he settled it that night? |
33520 | Young man, have you come to London, and fallen in with bad companions? |
33520 | Young man, just ask yourself the question,"Where shall I be?" |
33520 | Young man, young woman, will you have Him as your Shepherd? |
33520 | how long would she rule this empire? |
33520 | how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?" |
33520 | may I not wash in them, and be clean?" |
33520 | please, tell me, why do n''t you love Jesus?" |
33520 | was that kind- hearted man the governor? |
34573 | Am I my brother''s keeper? |
34573 | Cain, where is thy Brother? |
34573 | Have any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees, believed on him? |
34573 | What would you have thereof? |
34573 | Where is my lover? |
34573 | Who are you? |
34573 | ***** But why talk for ever? |
34573 | ***** In all these melancholy cases what is it best to do? |
34573 | ***** What can we do to make things better? |
34573 | ***** What shall be done for Criminals, the backward children of society, who refuse to keep up with the moral or legal advance of mankind? |
34573 | And you, my brothers, what shall you become? |
34573 | Are religion and conscience there to abate the fever of passion and regulate desire? |
34573 | Are the Quakers better born than other men? |
34573 | Are these rags the imperishable honors that cover them? |
34573 | Are you not all brothers, rich or poor? |
34573 | Are you so good that you must forsake him? |
34573 | As a class, did they ever denounce a public sin? |
34573 | Be it your folly or your crime, still cries the voice,"Where is thy brother?" |
34573 | But can she buy the people of the North? |
34573 | But have we a right to punish a man for the example''s sake? |
34573 | But how are they to be paid? |
34573 | But how does the rich man reconcile it to his conscience? |
34573 | But is it right to take vengeance; for me to hurt a man to- day solely because he hurt me yesterday? |
34573 | But is that all? |
34573 | But suppose it had happened-- what would become of your commerce, of your fishing smacks on the Banks or along the shore? |
34573 | But the glory which comes of epaulets and feathers; that strutting glory which is dyed in blood-- what shall we say of it? |
34573 | But the men--"Where is my husband?" |
34573 | But who ever told us such men could not compete with the slave of South Carolina who is paid nothing? |
34573 | But why talk of days so old? |
34573 | Can it not extirpate pauperism, prevent intemperance, pluck up the causes of the present crime? |
34573 | Can we not end this poverty-- the misery and crime it brings? |
34573 | Can we not lessen it? |
34573 | Can we say we have not deserved it? |
34573 | Can you frighten a starving girl into chastity? |
34573 | Can you not hinder him from being worse? |
34573 | Can you wholly abandon a friend or a child who thus deserts himself? |
34573 | Consider all these things, and who can doubt that a great moral progress has been made? |
34573 | Could such men do this without a secret shame? |
34573 | Could such men understand by what authority he taught? |
34573 | Did any one of you ever address an erring brother on the folly of his ways with manly tenderness, and try to charm him back, and find a cold repulse? |
34573 | Did far- sighted men know that there would be a war on Mexico, or else on the tariff or the currency, and prefer the first as the least evil? |
34573 | Did it never happen to one of you to be such a child, to have outgrown that rebellion and wickedness? |
34573 | Did not Christianity begin with a martyrdom? |
34573 | Did not God send his greatest, noblest, purest Son to seek and save the lost? |
34573 | Did not Jesus say, resist not evil-- with evil? |
34573 | Did not Jesus say,"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these ye have done it unto me?" |
34573 | Did not Mr. Clay say he hoped he could slay a Mexican? |
34573 | Did not Mr. Webster, in the streets of Philadelphia, bid the volunteers, misguided young men, go and uphold the stars of their country? |
34573 | Did not he declare this war unconstitutional, and threaten to impeach the President who made it, and then go and invest a son in it? |
34573 | Did the generation that is passing from the stage ever comprehend and fairly judge the new generation coming on? |
34573 | Do I look to the authority of the greatest Son of man? |
34573 | Do famous men say,"Our country however bounded,"and vote to plunder a sister State? |
34573 | Do our methods of punishment effect that object? |
34573 | Do speech and silence mean the same thing? |
34573 | Do they do it now and here? |
34573 | Do they not know the ruin which they work; are they the only men in the land who have not heard of the effects of intemperance? |
34573 | Do they now? |
34573 | Do we forget our sires, forget our God? |
34573 | Do we not see that by our present course we are teaching men violence, fraud, deceit, and murder? |
34573 | Do you know the meaning of the name of the city? |
34573 | Do you not see that if a man have a new truth, it must be reformatory and so create an outcry? |
34573 | Do you say we can not diminish intemperance, neither by law, nor by righteous efforts without law? |
34573 | Do you think that is democratic? |
34573 | Do you wonder at the crime which fills your jails, and swells the tax of county and city? |
34573 | Do you wonder at the poverty just now spoken of; at the vagrant children? |
34573 | Do you wonder at this? |
34573 | Do you wonder that I asked: Who is sufficient for these things? |
34573 | Does not Christianity say the strong should help the weak? |
34573 | Does not that mean something? |
34573 | Does that favor man-- represent man? |
34573 | Does the Government know of these things; know of their cause? |
34573 | Does the good physician spend the night in feasting with the sound, or in watching with the sick? |
34573 | For how has it come to pass that in a land of abundance here are men, for no fault of their own, born into want, living in want, and dying of want? |
34573 | Good men ask, What shall we do? |
34573 | Has a single man in all New England lost his seat in any office because he favored the war? |
34573 | Has none of you ever been such a father or mother? |
34573 | Has the Christian fire faded out from those words, once so marvellously bright? |
34573 | Has the soil forgot its wonted faith, and borne a different race of men from those who struggled eight long years for freedom? |
34573 | Have they not Christ and God to aid and bless them? |
34573 | Have you ever known a capitalist, a man who lives by letting money, refuse to lend money for the war because the war was wicked? |
34573 | Have you ever known a northern manufacturer who would not sell a kernel of powder, nor a cannon- ball, nor a coat, nor a shirt for the war? |
34573 | Have you ever known a northern merchant who would not let his ship for the war, because the war was wicked and he a Christian? |
34573 | He blasphemeth Moses and the prophets; yea, he hath a devil, and is mad, why hear him?" |
34573 | He looks forward, and what prospect is there? |
34573 | How can it be otherwise? |
34573 | How can we repent, cast our own sins behind us, outgrow and forget them better, than by helping others to work out their salvation? |
34573 | How could it be otherwise? |
34573 | How long is it since men sent their servants to the"Workhouse,"to be beaten"for disobedience,"at the discretion of the master? |
34573 | How long will it be before we apply good sense and Christianity to the prevention of crime? |
34573 | How many men of the rank and file in the late war have since become respectable citizens? |
34573 | How many of them had any fault to find with this national butchery on the Lord''s day? |
34573 | How many of them will be reformed and cured by this treatment, and so live honest and useful lives hereafter? |
34573 | How many of your newspapers have shown its true atrocity; how many of the pulpits? |
34573 | How much better is it to choke the life out of a man behind the prison wall? |
34573 | How much better off are many women in Boston who gain their bread by the needle? |
34573 | I am strong; who dares assail me? |
34573 | I know some men care little for the rich, but when the owners keep their craft in port, where can the"hands"find work or their mouths find bread? |
34573 | I will not at this moment undertake to go behind their organization and ask,"How comes it that they are so ill- born?" |
34573 | I wish I could say,"They know not what they do;"but at this day who does not know the effect of intemperance in Boston? |
34573 | If it be the duty of the State to prevent crime, not avenge it, is it not plain what is the way? |
34573 | If it be treason to speak against the war, what was it to make the war, to ask for 50,000 men and$ 74,000,000 for the war? |
34573 | If it is right in the President of the United States to rob and murder, why not for the President of the United States Bank? |
34573 | If it were right to kill Mexicans for a few dollars a month, why was it not also right to kill Americans, especially when it pays the most? |
34573 | If one mock at the crimes of men, perhaps at their sins, at the infamous punishments they suffer-- what can you say of him? |
34573 | If the South wants this, would the North object? |
34573 | In Dartmoor prison? |
34573 | In all forms of social life hitherto devised these classes have appeared, and it has been a serious question, What shall be done with them? |
34573 | In scarlet garments from Bozrah? |
34573 | In war, what will become of them? |
34573 | Is fear of physical pain the highest element you can appeal to in a child; the most effectual? |
34573 | Is he so bad that he can not be made better? |
34573 | Is her day gone by? |
34573 | Is honesty gone, and honor gone, your love of country gone, religion gone, and nothing manly left; not even shame? |
34573 | Is it Christian or manly to reduce wages in hard times, and not raise them in fair times? |
34573 | Is it God''s will that large dividends and small wages should be paid at the same time? |
34573 | Is it better for the State to kill a man in cold blood, than for me to kill my brother when in a rage? |
34573 | Is it consistent for the State to take vengeance when I may not? |
34573 | Is it not better to acquire it by the schoolmaster than the cannon; by peddling cloth, tin, any thing rather than bullets? |
34573 | Is it? |
34573 | Is not society the father of us all, our protector and defender? |
34573 | Is not the poor man, too, most often cheated in the weight and the measure? |
34573 | Is our soil degenerate, and have we lost the breed of noble men? |
34573 | Is that a praise? |
34573 | Is that all? |
34573 | Is that all? |
34573 | Is that democratic too? |
34573 | Is that democratic, to tax every man''s breakfast and supper, for the sake of getting more territory to whip negroes in? |
34573 | Is that the will of God? |
34573 | Is the State only a step- mother? |
34573 | Is there manliness enough left in the North to do that? |
34573 | Is there not in the nation skill to heal these men? |
34573 | It is a good thing to forgive an offence: who does not need that favor and often? |
34573 | It is a sad question to society, What shall be done with the criminals-- thieves, housebreakers, pirates, murderers? |
34573 | It is a serious question to the world, What is to become of the humbler nations-- Irish, Mexicans, Malays, Indians, Negroes? |
34573 | Let him commit a small crime, which shall involve no moral guilt, and be legally punished-- who respects him again? |
34573 | Men will call us traitors: what then? |
34573 | Much may be said to excuse the rank and file, ignorant men, many of them in want-- but for the leaders, what can be said? |
34573 | Need I tell you how I felt at sight of the work which stretched out before me? |
34573 | Not tell the nation that she is doing wrong? |
34573 | Now it becomes a serious question, What shall be done for these stragglers, or even with them? |
34573 | Now, What is the amount of the national earnings? |
34573 | Of what use to shut a man in a jail, and release him with the certainty that he will come out no better, and soon return for the same offence? |
34573 | Once the great question was, How large is the standing army? |
34573 | Perhaps you can not cure these men!--is there not power enough to keep them from doing harm; to make them useful? |
34573 | Poor brothers, how could they? |
34573 | Said I not truly, our most famous politicians are, in the general way, only mercantile party- men? |
34573 | Seldom has it been the question, What shall be done for them? |
34573 | Shall I speak of their sisters; of the education they are receiving; the end that awaits them? |
34573 | Shall all this war, this aggression of the slave power be for nothing? |
34573 | Shall we ever waken out of our sleep; shall we ever remember the duties we owe to the world and to God, who put us here on this new continent? |
34573 | Shall we stop there? |
34573 | Should they rather worship the Grecian Jove, or the Jehovah of the Jews? |
34573 | Suppose the culprits ask,"Where will you hang so many?" |
34573 | Suppose the warriors should ask,"Why, what is that?" |
34573 | Suppose those three felons, the halters round their neck, should ask also,"Why, what is that?" |
34573 | Take the politicians most famous and honored at this day, and what have they done? |
34573 | That other man,[19] benevolent and indefatigable, where is he? |
34573 | That thirty thousand-- in the name of humanity I ask,"Where are they?" |
34573 | The Federalists did not see all things; who ever did? |
34573 | The beef is eaten up, the cloth worn away, the powder is burnt, and what is there to show for it all? |
34573 | The crime which is so terribly avenged on woman-- think you that God will hold men innocent of that? |
34573 | The first question is, What end shall we aim at in dealing with them? |
34573 | The ignorant man, ill- born and ill- bred, asks:"Why not when done on a small scale; why not good for me?" |
34573 | The little children who survive-- are they to be left to become barbarians in the midst of our civilization? |
34573 | The possession of the West Indies would bring much money to New England, and what is the value of freedom compared to coffee and sugar and cotton? |
34573 | The power of America-- do we need proof of that? |
34573 | Their character will one day be a blot and a curse to the nation, and who is to blame? |
34573 | Then what do you think despotism would be? |
34573 | Then who shall dare break its peace? |
34573 | They have labored for a tariff, or for free trade; but what have they done for man? |
34573 | This result was doubtless God''s design, but was it man''s intention? |
34573 | This, that is glorious in his apparel, Proud in the greatness of his strength? |
34573 | Those that remain, what have they gained by this expulsion of their brothers? |
34573 | Throw him over, what good would that do? |
34573 | To take one man''s life is murder; what is it to practise killing as an art, a trade; to do it by thousands? |
34573 | Treason is it? |
34573 | Tried by these three standards, the judgment was true; what could he do to please these three parties? |
34573 | Under such circumstances how many of you would have done better? |
34573 | Under such circumstances, what marvel that the poor man becomes unthrifty, reckless and desperate? |
34573 | Virginia sells her negroes; what does New England sell? |
34573 | Was it through any fault or deficiency of Jesus, that these men refused him? |
34573 | We call ourselves Christians; we often repeat the name, the words of Christ,--but his prayer? |
34573 | We have seen them do this with lunatics, why not with those poor wretches whom now we murder? |
34573 | What adequate sum of gold, or what honors could mankind give to Columbus, to Faustus, to Fulton, for their works? |
34573 | What are we doing; what do we design to do? |
34573 | What are we to expect of children, born indeed with eyes and ears, but yet shut out from the culture of the age they live in? |
34573 | What better work is there for able men? |
34573 | What can we say in our defence? |
34573 | What causes have produced the class that is permanently poor? |
34573 | What dare they? |
34573 | What do they give in return? |
34573 | What do you think the Commons would have said? |
34573 | What does that teach him; science, letters; even morals and religion? |
34573 | What effect has he on young men? |
34573 | What good would that do? |
34573 | What have the strong been doing all this while, that the weak have come to such a state? |
34573 | What have these abandoned children to help them? |
34573 | What have we got to show for all this money? |
34573 | What hinders them from following the example set by the nation, by society, by the strong? |
34573 | What if Congress had refused to receive petitions relative to a tariff, or free trade, to the shipping interest, or the manufacturing interest? |
34573 | What if a public teacher never took back to college a boy who once had broke the academic law-- but made him infamous for ever? |
34573 | What if a shepherd made it a rule to look one hour for each lost sheep, and then return with or without the wanderer? |
34573 | What if he had said, as others,"None can be greater than Moses, none so great?" |
34573 | What if she forewent her native instinct and the mother said,"My boy is deformed, a cripple-- let him die?" |
34573 | What if your men of low degree are a vanity, and your men of high degree are a lie? |
34573 | What influence on society? |
34573 | What is it on the criminals themselves? |
34573 | What is the educational effect of our present political conduct, of our invasions, our battles, our victories; of the speeches of"our great men?" |
34573 | What is the effect of this punishment on society at large? |
34573 | What is their practical influence on Church and State-- on the economy of mankind? |
34573 | What is unavoidably the lot of such? |
34573 | What keeps you from a course of crime? |
34573 | What of that? |
34573 | What recognized amusement have they but this, of drinking themselves drunk? |
34573 | What shall be done for the dangerous classes, the criminals? |
34573 | What shall become of the children of such men? |
34573 | What shall restrain him? |
34573 | What shall the fool answer; what the traitor say? |
34573 | What shall the future Sundays be, and what the year? |
34573 | What shall we do for all these little ones that are perishing? |
34573 | What shall we do? |
34573 | What then? |
34573 | What was taught to the mass of men, in those days, better than the character of Christ? |
34573 | What was the reason for all this? |
34573 | What was the result? |
34573 | What will be the fate of these 2,000 children? |
34573 | What will be their fate? |
34573 | What will their influence be as fathers, husbands? |
34573 | What would the Lords say? |
34573 | What would you do next, after you have thrown him over? |
34573 | What would you say if a teacher refused to help a boy because the boy was slow to learn; because he now and then broke through the rules? |
34573 | What would you say? |
34573 | What years of noble life are deemed enough to wipe the stain out of his reputation? |
34573 | When money is the end, what need to look for any thing more? |
34573 | When sinners slew him, did God forsake mankind? |
34573 | When such men set about reforming the evils of society, with such a determined soul, what evil can stand against mankind? |
34573 | When the parents are there, what is left for the children? |
34573 | Whence come the tenants of our almshouses, jails, the victims of vice in all our towns? |
34573 | Where are its"Resolutions?" |
34573 | Where are the men we sent to Mexico? |

34573 | Where is the wealth they hoped from the spoil of churches? |
34573 | Where would be the more hideous deformity? |
34573 | Wherefore is thine apparel red, And thy garments like those of one that treadeth the wine- vat? |
34573 | Which of the sectarian journals of Boston advocates any of the great reforms of the day? |
34573 | Which of these men has shown the most interest in those three million slaves? |
34573 | While educated and abounding men acknowledge no rule of conduct but self- interest, what can you expect of the ignorant and the perishing? |
34573 | Who asks,"What do the clergy think of the tariff, or free trade, of annexation, or the war, of slavery, or the education movement?" |
34573 | Who ever saw a Quaker in an almshouse? |
34573 | Who ever yet had faith in God that had none in man? |
34573 | Who is it that organizes the sin of society? |
34573 | Who is there that can do this? |
34573 | Who is to blame for all that? |
34573 | Who of you has not lost a relative, at least a friend, in that withering flame, that terrible_ Auto da fe_, that hell- fire on earth? |
34573 | Who shall dare stop his ears, when they preach their awful denunciation of want and woe? |
34573 | Who that is fifty years of age, does not remember the aspect of Boston on public days; on the evening of such days? |
34573 | Who would employ such a youth; with such a reputation; with the smell of the jail in his very breath? |
34573 | Who would not wish his forehead the altar for such a vow? |
34573 | Whose business is it, if it is not yours and mine? |
34573 | Why not? |
34573 | Why not? |
34573 | Why should they honor or even tolerate him? |
34573 | Why should they not? |
34573 | Why so? |
34573 | Why was it that we did nothing? |
34573 | Why, if the people can not discuss the war they have got to fight and to pay for, who under heaven can? |
34573 | Will a white lily grow in a common sewer; can you bleach linen in a tan- pit? |
34573 | Will the North say"Yes?" |
34573 | Will they say,"We should lose our influence were we to tell of this and do these things? |
34573 | Will you cause them to perish; you? |
34573 | Will you let them perish? |
34573 | Will you not prevent their perishing? |
34573 | Will you refuse to go? |
34573 | With his education, exposure, temptation, outward and from within, how much better would the best of you become? |
34573 | Would it not be a work profitable to ourselves, and useful to others weaker than we? |
34573 | Would not a reputation for uprightness and truth be a good capital for any man, old or young? |
34573 | Yet how few preached against the war? |
34573 | Yet is there one who wishes to be a foe to mankind? |
34573 | Yet what does it teach? |
34573 | You are the nation''s head, and if the head be wilful and wicked, what shall its members do and be? |
34573 | You ask, O Americans, where is the harmony of the Union? |
34573 | Your morality, your religion? |
34573 | Your peace societies, and your churches, what can they do? |
34573 | _ The People._ 1. Who is this that cometh from Edom? |
34573 | a popular sin? |
34573 | and has it come to this, that men are silent over such a sin? |
34573 | and not raise them again in extraordinary times? |
34573 | butcher a nation to get soil to make a field for slaves? |
34573 | how could they? |
34573 | how long would twelve hundred rum- shops disgrace your town? |
34573 | how should you feel towards such? |
34573 | is that the body of men who a year or two ago went forth, so full of valor and of rum? |
34573 | nay, which is not an obstacle in the path of all manly reform? |
34573 | says one;"And my son?" |
34573 | screams a woman whom anguish makes respectable spite of her filth and ignorance;--"And our father, where is he?" |
34573 | send him to call sinners to repent? |
34573 | then why shall not the poor man, hungry and cold, say,"My purse however bounded,"and seize on all he can get? |
34573 | treason to discuss a war which the government made, and which the people are made to pay for? |
34573 | what are they doing in the nation? |
34573 | what of that fleet which crowds across the Atlantic sea, trading with east and west and north and south? |
34573 | what of your Indiamen, deep freighted with oriental wealth? |
34573 | what of your coasting vessels, doubling the headlands all the way from the St. John''s to the Nueces? |
34573 | what of your whale ships in the Pacific? |
34573 | what shall the parents do to mend their dull boy, or their wicked one? |
34573 | where are thy brothers?" |
34573 | where is thy brother? |
34573 | yes a large class of women in all our great cities? |
13204 | He 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?" |
13204 | If these things are done in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry? |
13204 | If weakness may excuse, What murderer, what traitor, parricide, Incestuous, sacrilegious, may not plead it? 13204 Is the law sin?" |
13204 | Tell me,says St. Paul,"ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law? |
13204 | Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking of the law, dishonorest thou God? |
13204 | Thou 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? |
13204 | 20.--"The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?" |
13204 | 20.--"The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?" |
13204 | 21--23.--"Thou therefore which, teachest another, teachest Thou not thyself? |
13204 | 28, 29.--"Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God? |
13204 | Again, 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? |
13204 | Again, is a man conscious of the corruption of his heart? |
13204 | Am I not completely baffled, the moment I attempt to construct the consciousness of the unearthly state? |
13204 | And is there any injustice in this? |
13204 | And now we ask, if this state of things ought to last forever? |
13204 | And now we ask: Can the law generate all this excellence within the human soul? |
13204 | And now what is the effect of this combination of command and threatening upon the agent? |
13204 | And think you that God will not grant a request which He himself has inspired? |
13204 | And upon_ such_ terms, can not the criminal well afford to examine into his crime? |
13204 | And where are the results? |
13204 | And why should it? |
13204 | Are they deluded in respect to the doctrine of human depravity, and are you in the right? |
13204 | Are we, then, sinners, and in fear for the final result of our life? |
13204 | Are you prepared for the impending and inevitable disclosures and revelations of the day of judgment? |
13204 | As the deteriorating process advances, does not the guilt diminish? |
13204 | But are we at ease and self- contented? |
13204 | But 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? |
13204 | But is the Bible untrue, because the man is ignorant? |
13204 | But is this so? |
13204 | But the real penitent rebuked him, saying:"Dost thou not fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? |
13204 | But what do I know of the surroundings and experience of a man who has travelled from time into eternity? |
13204 | But what does all this reasoning and querying imply? |
13204 | But what is the lesson which we are to read by this clear and solemn light? |
13204 | But what is this compared with the suffering soul? |
13204 | But when he put the other question to himself: Will the Deity_ pardon_ me for my transgression? |
13204 | But where is the man? |
13204 | But why do they confine this species of reasoning to the pagan world? |
13204 | But, how is this lack to be supplied? |
13204 | By what law? |
13204 | Can God say to the hardened Judas: Son be of good cheer, thy sin is forgiven thee? |
13204 | Can He speak to the traitor as He speaks to the Magdalen? |
13204 | Can I not do what I will with mine own? |
13204 | Can a perfect heart be originated in a sinner by these two methods? |
13204 | Can any being do a wrong act, and be as sound in his will and as spiritually strong, after it, as he was before it? |
13204 | Can it be that sheer imposture and error have such a tenacious vitality as this? |
13204 | Can it be that the truth that there is only one God is native to the human spirit, and that the pagan"_ knows_"this God? |
13204 | Can it be that there is a moral law written upon their hearts forbidding such carnality, and enjoining purity and holiness? |
13204 | Can it be that this strong and steady draft of conscience,--strong and steady as gravitation,--will ultimately prove ineffectual? |
13204 | Can the moral law originate this? |
13204 | Can you say with David,"We give thanks and rejoice, at the remembrance of Thy holiness?" |
13204 | Do men at such times find that sincere desires, and longings, and aspirations, come at their beck? |
13204 | Do they tell you that they are uniformly successful in inducing these sinners to leave their sins? |
13204 | Do we feel ourselves to be guilty beings; do we hunger, and do we thirst for the expiation of our sins? |
13204 | Do you ask me to make myself wholly miserable?" |
13204 | Do you ask, What one particular single thing shall I do, that I may be safe for time and eternity? |
13204 | Do you believe that there is an eternal world, and that the general features of this mode of existence have been scripturally depicted? |
13204 | Do 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? |
13204 | Do 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? |
13204 | Do you tell us that God is too good to punish men, and that therefore it must be that He is merciful? |
13204 | Do you_ love_ God''s holy character? |
13204 | Does his consciousness of inward poverty assume this form? |
13204 | Does it congenially sway and incline him? |
13204 | Does the holy law of God overarch him like the firmament,"tinged with a blue of heavenly dye, and starred with sparkling gold?" |
13204 | Does 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? |
13204 | Does the stern behest,"Do this or die,"secure his willing and joyful obedience? |
13204 | Else, why do these pangs and fears shoot and flash through it, every now and then? |
13204 | For example:"Where is boasting then? |
13204 | For how can his sin be pardoned, unless it is clearly understood by the pardoning power? |
13204 | For, think you that the insensible sinner is always to be thus insensible,--that this power of self- inspection is eternally to"rust unused?" |
13204 | For, who of the race of man is holy enough to stand such an inspection? |
13204 | Has he attained the chief end of man? |
13204 | Has religion reached its last term, and ultimate limit, when man respects the rights of property? |
13204 | Has 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? |
13204 | Have you a private revelation of your own? |
13204 | He still has a capacity for loving; but in eternity where is the fame, the wealth, the pleasure upon which he has hitherto expended it? |
13204 | He that formed the eye, shall He not see?" |
13204 | He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?" |
13204 | How can God administer forgiveness, unless there is a correlated temper to receive it? |
13204 | How can his soul be purified from its inward corruption, unless it is searched by the Spirit of all holiness? |
13204 | How can we endure such a scrutiny as God is instituting into our character and conduct? |
13204 | How do you establish the guilt of those at the end of the line? |
13204 | How is this great hiatus in human character to be filled up? |
13204 | How shall he resist temptation, unless he has some_ fear_ of God before his eyes? |
13204 | How 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? |
13204 | How then can he be brought in guilty before the same eternal bar, and be condemned to the same eternal punishment, with the nominal Christian? |
13204 | How, then, can the mere reproaches and remorse of conscience be regarded as evidence of piety? |
13204 | I ask, therefore, Wast thou ever killed stark dead by the law of works contained in the Scriptures? |
13204 | If Christianity is a delusion and a lie, why does it not die out, and disappear? |
13204 | If 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? |
13204 | If the foundations themselves of morals and religion are destroyed, what can be done for the salvation of the creature? |
13204 | If this experience has been forced upon him, shall he meet it with the port and bearing of a strong man? |
13204 | If you can admire and praise them, in this style, why do you not_ love_ them? |
13204 | If you view your own personal sin in reference to your own personal fears, are you not a slave to it? |
13204 | In trying to judge of the final condition of a pagan outside of revelation, we must ask the question: Was he penitent? |
13204 | Is a man, then, sensible that his understanding is darkened by sin, and that he is destitute of clear and just apprehensions of divine things? |
13204 | Is he moulded by it? |
13204 | Is it not so in our own personal experience? |
13204 | Is it not_ too late_ for such a creature as man now is to adopt the method of salvation by the works of the law? |
13204 | Is not that a strange act by which he, for a time, duplicates his own unity, and sets himself to look at himself? |
13204 | Is not that a wonderful process by which a man knows, not some other thing but,_ himself_? |
13204 | Is not the one the measure of the other? |
13204 | Is not truth mighty, and must it not finally prevail, to the pulling down of the stronghold which Satan has in the human heart? |
13204 | Is such a heart as this"conformed unto"the law and will of God? |
13204 | Is the evil removed by denying its existence? |
13204 | Is the question, then, of the Jews, pressing upon your mind? |
13204 | Is the sun black, because the eye is shut? |
13204 | Is there not a wonderful power to_ convict_ of sin, in this test? |
13204 | Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens To wash it white as snow? |
13204 | Is thine eye evil because I am good?" |
13204 | Is this religious perfection? |
13204 | Is this the_ original_ and_ necessary_ relation which law sustains to the will and affections of an accountable creature? |
13204 | Is''t no worse for the wear? |
13204 | It is not the highest expression of the religious feeling, when we say,"How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against my conscience?" |
13204 | Killed by the law or letter, and made to see thy sins against it, and left in an helpless condition by the law? |
13204 | Must the pure and holy law of God, from the very nature of things, be a weariness and a curse? |
13204 | Must there not be an inveterate opposition and resistance in the_ heart_? |
13204 | Nay, 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? |
13204 | Never 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? |
13204 | No, He''s forever in a smiling mood; He''s like themselves; or how could He be good? |
13204 | Of what use would it have been to offer mercy, before the sense of its need had been elicited? |
13204 | On the contrary, is he not excited to opposition by it? |
13204 | On the contrary, should I not be the most wretched of mortals? |
13204 | Or cloy the hungry edge of appetite, By bare imagination of a feast? |
13204 | Or wallow naked in December snow, By thinking on fantastic summer heat? |
13204 | Or, in other words:_ Why can not the ten commandments save a sinner_? |
13204 | Or, 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? |
13204 | Ought not this state of things to be reversed? |
13204 | Ought this guilty carnal enjoyment to be perpetuated through all eternity, under the government of a righteous and just God? |
13204 | Our Lord, by his searching reply to the young ruler''s question,"What lack I yet?" |
13204 | Received ye the Spirit, by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith? |
13204 | Return you me guilt, lethargy, despair? |
13204 | Shall pleasures of a short duration chain A lady''s soul in everlasting pain? |
13204 | Shall the ten commandments of Sinai, in any of their forms or uses, send a cooling and calming virtue through the hot conscience? |
13204 | Should we not be more circumspect than we are, if men were able mutually to search each other''s hearts? |
13204 | The 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? |
13204 | The instant he put the question: Will God_ punish_ me for my transgression? |
13204 | The text leads us to inquire:_ Why can not the moral law make fallen man perfect_? |
13204 | Think you that the deathbed and the day of judgment will prove this to be the fact? |
13204 | Think you that there is nothing_ lacking_ in such a character as this? |
13204 | Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? |
13204 | To whom, then, can such an one go but unto Him? |
13204 | Was, then, that which is good made death unto this youth, by a_ Divine_ arrangement? |
13204 | We grant that the temptations that assail him are very powerful; but are not some of the temptations that beset you and me very powerful? |
13204 | What are the"good things"which Dives receives here, for which he must be"tormented"hereafter? |
13204 | What can we do, in that day which shall reveal the thoughts and the estimates of the Holy One respecting us? |
13204 | What can we say, in the day of reckoning, when the Searcher of hearts shall make known, to us all that He knows of us? |
13204 | What does he know of the burden of sin? |
13204 | What heathen will not need an atonement, for his failure to live up even to the light of nature? |
13204 | What is the_ ground_ and_ reason_ of such an answer as this? |
13204 | What pagan has ever realized the truths of natural conscience, in his inward character and his outward life? |
13204 | What pagan is there in all the generations that will not be found guilty before the bar of natural religion? |
13204 | What would our merciful Redeemer have us learn from this passage which He has caused to be recorded for our instruction? |
13204 | What, then, is gained, by proposing another than the Biblical theory of human nature? |
13204 | What, then, is the religion that is to be received? |
13204 | When God teaches,"Where is the wise? |
13204 | When the commandment"_ comes_,"loaded down with menace and damnation, does not sin"revive,"as the Apostle affirms? |
13204 | When we look into our hearts, and find no holy reverence there, ought we not to be filled with shame and sorrow? |
13204 | When, therefore, the young ruler''s question,"What lack I?" |
13204 | Where then do you send me for the information, and the testimony? |
13204 | Whereto serves mercy, But to confront the visage of offence? |
13204 | Whither then shall we go from God''s spirit? |
13204 | Who can feel himself amenable to a moral law, without at the same time thinking of its Author? |
13204 | Who has ever realized these wishes and aspirations, in his heart and conduct? |
13204 | Who is he that condemmeth? |
13204 | Who is he that condemneth, when it is Christ that died, and God that justifies? |
13204 | Who of the sons of men will prove pure in such a furnace? |
13204 | Who of this class voluntarily makes himself unhappy, by thinking of subjects that are gloomy to his mind? |
13204 | Who of us would not be filled with uneasiness, if he knew that an imperfect fellow- creature were looking constantly into his soul? |
13204 | Who shall lay anything to God''s elect? |
13204 | Why can he not be saved by the law of works? |
13204 | Why do they not bring it into nominal Christendom, and apply it there? |
13204 | Why does he not tell us that because this civilized man acts no better, therefore he knows no better? |
13204 | Why does the drowning man instinctively ask for God''s mercy? |
13204 | Why is he so summarily shut up to the law of faith? |
13204 | Why is it, that when the character of Christ bows your intellect, it does not bend your will, and sway your affections? |
13204 | Why is man invited to the method of faith in another, instead of the method of faith in himself? |
13204 | Why is not his first spontaneous thought the true one? |
13204 | Why is the commandment enunciated in the Scriptures, and why is the Christian ministry perpetually preaching it to men dead in trespasses and sins? |
13204 | Why should he not obtain eternal life by resolutely proceeding to do his duty, and keeping the law of God? |
13204 | Why 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? |
13204 | Why should they be weary and heavy- laden with a sense of their unworthiness before God, and you go through life indifferent and light- hearted? |
13204 | Why should ye be stricken, any more? |
13204 | Why, 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? |
13204 | Why, then, does every man need these influences of the Holy Spirit which are so cordially offered in the text? |
13204 | Will he say that the population that knew enough to build the pyramids did not know enough to break the law of God? |
13204 | Will the great Author us poor worms destroy, For now and then a sip of transient joy? |
13204 | Will the mere calling men good at heart, and by nature, make them such? |
13204 | Will the objector really take the position and stand to it, that the pagan man is not a rational and responsible creature? |
13204 | Wilt thou, then, not be afraid of the power? |
13204 | With these kindling flashes in his guilt- stricken spirit, shall he run into the very identical fire that kindled them? |
13204 | Would David have dared to say:"This is the work of God,--this is the saving act,--that ye believe in me?" |
13204 | Would Paul have presumed to say to the anxious inquirer:"Your soul is safe, if you trust in me?" |
13204 | Would he not feel, with a misery and a shame that could not be expressed, that he was naked? |
13204 | Would not this self- knowledge be pure living torment? |
13204 | Would you have the Almighty pay a bounty upon unrighteousness, and place goodness under eternal pains and penalties? |
13204 | You who approve of the law of God as pure and perfect, why do you not conform your own heart and conduct to it? |
13204 | You 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? |
13204 | all would be set second to the simple single inquiry:"Shall I think, shall I feel, shall I know?" |
13204 | and how was this to be elicited, but by the solemn and authoritative enunciation of law and justice? |
13204 | and what are the"evil things"which Lazarus receives in this world, for which he will be"comforted"in the world to come? |
13204 | how can ye escape the damnation of hell?" |
13204 | if he should plead it as an offset for having killed a man? |
13204 | in the heart which can refuse submission to such high claims, when so distinctly seen? |
13204 | of works? |
13204 | or whither shall we flee from His presence and His knowledge? |
13204 | ought he not then to be"comforted"in the bosom of Abraham, in the paradise of God? |
13204 | rather than the question: Was he virtuous?] |
13204 | that He who called Himself The Truth would employ a lie, either directly or indirectly, even to promote the spiritual welfare of men? |
13204 | that because he neither fears nor loves the one only God, therefore he does not know that there is any such Being? |
13204 | that he does not possess sufficient knowledge of moral truth, to justify his being brought to the bar of judgment? |
13204 | that he was utterly unfit to appear in such a Presence? |
13204 | thou must die, thou must be judged, thou must inhabit eternity?" |
13204 | thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege? |
13204 | thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonored thou God?" |
13204 | thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonorest thou God?" |
13204 | thou that makest thy boast of the law, through, breaking the law dishonorest thou God?" |
13204 | thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal? |
13204 | thou that preachest that a man should not steal, dost thou steal? |
13204 | thou that preachest that a man should not steal, dost thou steal?" |
13204 | thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery? |
13204 | to a being who is not conformed to it? |
13204 | where is the disputer of this world?" |
13204 | where is the scribe? |
13204 | where were the arguments? |
13204 | where were the theories? |
13204 | who shall deliver me? |
13204 | why do you not by your character and conduct prove the claim to be a valid one?" |
59041 | And one of them, a doctor of the law, asked him, tempting him: Master, which is the great commandment of the law? 59041 Do you ever get drunk?" |
59041 | O my Divine Spouse,she said,"Where wast thou when I was enduring these conflicts?" |
59041 | What does faith bring thee to? |
59041 | What is it? |
59041 | What, with all these filthy abominations? |
59041 | What,says the father of a family,"give my whole soul and mind to God? |

59041 | And after all might not this vision be a delusion? |
59041 | And if the soul is so beautiful in the little rays that escape from the body, what must it be in itself? |
59041 | And that precious soul of yours, before which all the wealth of the world is but worthless dross-- with what care have you kept that? |
59041 | And why? |
59041 | And would you attribute conduct so disgraceful among men to our Father in heaven? |
59041 | And, besides, who can draw the lineaments of that great Apostle, or paint him in colors worthy of his character? |
59041 | And, if we then sin against God, in what respect are we better than Judas? |
59041 | Are the earth and sky all wrapped in a great, gloomy mantle of grief? |
59041 | Are the tares rooted up in this world? |
59041 | Are there none of you, my brethren, who recognize this as the secret language of your hearts? |
59041 | Are we as much in earnest to guard against a fall? |
59041 | Are we bound to shut our ears to the murmuring winds, the music of the rivulet, and the songs of the birds? |
59041 | Are we thus determined to win? |
59041 | Are you leading a tepid, imperfect life? |
59041 | At the Easter Communion, where are you? |
59041 | At times in the height of that fever your mind wanders: you do not know her,_ her!_ your own dear mother? |
59041 | But as for you, young man, why have you presumed to come to the altar? |
59041 | But do you think we have none of the charity of the Angels? |
59041 | But how can they know any thing of a star so unusual in its appearance as this? |
59041 | But is it enough just barely to fulfil the commandment in this way? |
59041 | But is it not necessary to go to Communion? |
59041 | But of what use is Holy Scripture to us without Her interpretation, whose office it is to interpret, as it has been to preserve it? |
59041 | But suppose these evil temptations are importunate, and remain in the soul even when we resist them, and try to turn from them? |
59041 | But what am I saying? |
59041 | But what does God say of such as these? |
59041 | But what does an unworthy communion do? |
59041 | But what have you to say for yourself, O adulterer, and adulteress? |
59041 | But what have you to say for yourself, O drunkard? |
59041 | But you will say, if this be true, does it not tend to cherish in us a spirit of self- sufficiency, and of independence of God? |
59041 | Can it be a friendly ship coming to your rescue? |
59041 | Can it not fill the soul as much as any other? |
59041 | Can literature be devoted to more worthy ends than to make those virtues attractive which religion commands? |
59041 | Can not the motive of God''s love do as much? |
59041 | Can science find a greater sphere than to show how all things are, and move, and exist in their primal cause, God? |
59041 | Can these fretful souls of ours find rest even upon earth? |
59041 | Can they sympathize with us, while they believe us to be corrupted by it? |
59041 | Can we find it, then, even short of Purgatory? |
59041 | Can you imagine a dependence which is more pure than ours is upon God? |
59041 | Can you not easily imagine that every stroke she heard given against her prison walls, must have sent a thrill of joy through her whole frame? |
59041 | Can you, indeed? |
59041 | Commenting on this passage of Holy Scripture, St. John Chrysostom asks:"Wherefore did God make the lilies so beautiful? |
59041 | Could they cease to hate our religion, while they believe it to be false? |
59041 | Could we claim as manfully to have fought a good fight? |
59041 | Could we claim our reward as confidently? |
59041 | Could we say as much, my brethren, if our time were come? |
59041 | Did I not say well then, when I expressed my fear that God would find but few who would accept his terms? |
59041 | Did any Priest ever preach to the contrary? |
59041 | Did he create the world, or make you? |
59041 | Did not our Lord love his Mother? |
59041 | Did these things really happen? |
59041 | Did they not feel them? |
59041 | Did you ever know a man of this stamp to become Catholic? |
59041 | Did you ever know one of these"liberal fellows,"so called, to be come Catholic? |
59041 | Do n''t say: how little can I do and get off with it? |
59041 | Do n''t you see, the very definition of mortal sin, is a sin that grievously offends God and brings with it the death of the soul? |
59041 | Do not they estimate themselves by the light of faith? |
59041 | Do the birds sing no more? |
59041 | Do they aim by the creations of their genius to raise less gifted minds to gaze upon the archetype of all beauty, truth, and goodness? |
59041 | Do they strive so to embody what is noblest and best in man''s nature as to captivate his imagination, and enkindle an enthusiasm for its imitation? |
59041 | Do we see artists who are conscious of the great purposes of their noble vocation? |
59041 | Do you ask me what has been done for your souls? |
59041 | Do you ask me what has been done for your souls? |
59041 | Do you ask what has been done for your souls? |
59041 | Do you believe Him? |
59041 | Do you belong to the party of Jesus Christ or that of the devil? |
59041 | Do you feel in yourselves a vocation to a religious or sacerdotal life? |
59041 | Do you judge of a man as you do of a horse or a dog? |
59041 | Do you not see, said the devil, that crucifix? |
59041 | Does he seek these by legitimate means? |
59041 | Does it not lie in your memory in all the blackness and barrenness of a western prairie, over which the desolating fire of the savage has passed? |
59041 | Does the Church teach any such thing? |
59041 | For is it not a joy to follow where our heart''s desires lead? |
59041 | For what prison walls are so strong as the tyranny of passion over the soul? |
59041 | For what, after all, are created things, or the members of a man''s body, or even his life, compared with the eternal salvation of his soul? |
59041 | For what? |
59041 | From the Church? |
59041 | Has He no chastisement for the wicked, no sympathy for the good? |
59041 | Has he conferred any benefit on the human race, that he is entitled to the gratitude and obedience of men? |
59041 | Has heaven no favors for her? |
59041 | Has she clung to her faith so long in vain, amid poverty, oppression and bloodshed? |
59041 | Have not beauty, knowledge, and genius one and the same fountain source with religion? |
59041 | Have you ever seen two strong men wrestling? |
59041 | Have you kept it as your most sacred treasure? |
59041 | Have you not committed mortal sin, and then given as an excuse that you were tempted by the devil, or overcome by your passions? |
59041 | Have you not over looked and undervalued your treasure? |
59041 | Have you not sometimes been tempted to exclaim:"Has God forgotten Ireland? |
59041 | Have you valued that soul of yours? |
59041 | Heathens? |
59041 | How can I do it? |
59041 | How can you expect light when you close your eyes? |
59041 | How did the Blessed Virgin arrive at such glory? |
59041 | How have you conducted yourself in temptation? |
59041 | How many sermons have you not heard upon that awful subject? |
59041 | How often has God not called us, either from some path of sin which we were following, or to a closer union with Himself? |
59041 | How so? |
59041 | How was it St. Paul attracted so many to Christ? |
59041 | How was it with our blessed Lord? |
59041 | How will it be in heaven? |
59041 | How will the truths of the Gospel reach your heart and make an impression there, if you never listen to them? |
59041 | I have been offering peace to such as lead a Christian life; but what does Holy Scripture say of you? |
59041 | I say, then, excite this desire; think, and think every day, on these simple things: Who am I? |
59041 | I.--_What is Communion?_ It is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, given to us as food for the sanctification of our souls and bodies. |
59041 | II.--_What then is it to receive this Holy Communion unworthily?_ It is to be grievously wanting in reverence to the holiest of all holy things. |
59041 | If a man abstains from eating meat, why not let him, if he likes, eat fish? |
59041 | If another fancies he will improve by scourging himself, why not let him whip his body? |
59041 | If another is bent on practising entire abstinence, why not allow him to fast? |
59041 | If another seeks the desert, or ensconces himself in a cave, what commandment does he break? |
59041 | If another takes the notion to shave his crown and walk with uncovered feet, wherein is he to be blamed? |
59041 | If she had not believed, if she had not assented, what would have come of it? |
59041 | If you can be chaste in the presence of a virtuous female, why can you not be chaste everywhere? |
59041 | If you can be honest when the eye of man is on you, why can you not be honest when no eye sees you but that of God? |
59041 | In the first place, what does he mean by the love of God? |
59041 | In the language of Holy Scripture we say,"_ In the morning, who will grant me evening? |
59041 | In this miserable world there is no such thing as tranquillity or peace, and how, without these, can the whole heart be given to God?" |
59041 | In what consists the beauty of a man? |
59041 | Is any hope held out in Scripture for the victims of such delusions? |
59041 | Is he not then a usurper? |
59041 | Is it I?_ No, my good man. |
59041 | Is it a mere regularity of form and feature? |
59041 | Is it always night? |
59041 | Is it asking much, that we shall be habitually obedient? |
59041 | Is it for Him to be dependent upon our moods and humors, finding us true to- day and false to- morrow? |
59041 | Is it not as great? |
59041 | Is it now safe and secure? |
59041 | Is it possible that any fear of death, any doubt of his salvation could cloud the spirit of such a man in the closing scene of his career? |
59041 | Is it the visible world, called nature, so full of instruction and rich in beauty, that we are to turn our backs upon? |
59041 | Is it true? |
59041 | Is it with this terrible earnestness you struggle to work out your salvation, or do you make a pastime of it? |
59041 | Is it, then, possible to wear a constant smile in this valley of tears? |
59041 | Is not this to be indeed dead? |
59041 | Is she called a"Mediatrix of Prayer?" |
59041 | Is she called the"Daughter of the Most High?" |
59041 | Is she called the"Morning Star?" |
59041 | Is she called"The Spouse of God?" |
59041 | Is the camp of Jesus Christ less holy, think you, that an impure man or woman can be tolerated within its sacred precincts? |
59041 | Is the world all dead? |
59041 | Is there not an impression in your minds that the law of God is too strict? |
59041 | Is this not a great boon? |
59041 | Is this the earnest way we follow out our vocation? |
59041 | My brave and vaunting Christian warrior, how do your professions of fidelity and courage comport with your conduct when put on guard at night? |
59041 | No; says the Apostle Paul,"_ Christ died for all._"And why? |
59041 | No? |
59041 | Now if she did not merit heaven by becoming the Mother of God, how did she merit it? |
59041 | Now what does He ask of you in return for all this? |
59041 | Now what was it all about? |
59041 | Now why was this? |
59041 | Now will you tell me that you can not help doing what the martyrs would not do to save them from death? |
59041 | Now, how is it with us? |
59041 | Now, if you can stop cursing before the priest, why can you not before your wife and children? |
59041 | Now, what are we doing? |
59041 | Now, what holy lesson shall we try to learn from it? |
59041 | Now, what is to be done? |
59041 | Now, where is the man in Europe, who has so much care and anxiety upon him as he has? |
59041 | Of what use to him was his power of motion? |
59041 | Our Lord said to Judas,"_ Friend, why hast thou come? |
59041 | Peace, did I say? |
59041 | Shall I, she says, reject the very things I have longed for, the opportunities of making rapid progress in the love of God? |
59041 | Shall these accidental and artificial barriers survive death? |
59041 | Shall this always be so? |
59041 | Shall we stand here like cowards, hugging the ignominious chains of mortal sin? |
59041 | She sees the angels; but to the questions:"_ Woman, why weepest thou? |
59041 | She was so bound up in you, that she often exclaimed with a truth,"Why do I live if it be not for my child?" |
59041 | So, I ask you, who are you? |
59041 | Suppose you saw a girl in service, scrubbing the floor with a beautiful camel''s- hair shawl, what would you say? |
59041 | Teach your heart to throb in sympathy with his, until you can say with St. Paul:"_ Who is weak, and I am not weak? |
59041 | Tell me, my brethren, is this your idea of the Christian warfare? |
59041 | That''s what the Lord himself said to the young man who asked the question:"What shall I do that I may have everlasting life?" |
59041 | The Lawyer asked Him,"_ What shall I do to possess eternal life?_"The Saviour said,"_ What is written in the law? |
59041 | The Lawyer asked Him,"_ What shall I do to possess eternal life?_"The Saviour said,"_ What is written in the law? |
59041 | The pledge will not help him long; and why? |
59041 | The very first word addressed you by her, was in your baptism, when you were asked:"What dost thou ask of the Church of God?" |
59041 | Then he will say to these:"I am your Lord and Master, why have you not obeyed me?" |
59041 | They are class- mates, or even room- mates, for years, but look at them after the lapse of twenty years, and what are their respective positions? |
59041 | They died rather than lift a hand to do a forbidden thing; have you not the same power over your hand that they had? |
59041 | They died rather than utter a sinful word; have you not as much power over your tongue as they? |
59041 | This is the war in which every one of you is engaged, on one side or the other? |
59041 | Thus, Mary is called"Queen of Heaven;"but are not all the blessed called in Holy Scripture,"_ kings and priests unto God_?" |
59041 | To establish its true meaning, let us ask ourselves first of all, what is a true Christian life? |
59041 | Under what banner have you till now been ranged? |
59041 | Under what figure is the Church of God represented in Scripture? |
59041 | Very well; but how were they required to deny Christ? |
59041 | Was He not disposed to be obedient to her as his mother? |
59041 | Was it from the Church of God? |
59041 | Was it the world of art, science, and literature? |
59041 | Well then, asks one, why not exclude them from the Church altogether, so that the whole world can see what they are? |
59041 | What Apostles, Doctors of the Church, Pontiffs, Priests, or Laymen, that ever wrote on the matter, ever broached such an idea? |
59041 | What are our obligations to give testimony of Christ? |
59041 | What are the signs, my brethren, by which you would pronounce a man dead? |
59041 | What are you doing then with the devil''s bounty? |
59041 | What can be a more perfect illustration of mortal sin? |
59041 | What can be more just? |
59041 | What degradation is equal to that of a Christian enslaved by vice? |
59041 | What do we find for the most part in the world of art? |
59041 | What does St. Paul say again? |
59041 | What does St. Paul say? |
59041 | What does holy king David say? |
59041 | What does that mean? |
59041 | What food is so loathsome to the body as lust and sensuality must be to a soul made for wisdom and virtue? |
59041 | What has God made me for? |
59041 | What have you done? |
59041 | What have you to expect in his service? |
59041 | What is Holy Communion? |
59041 | What is Holy Communion? |
59041 | What is Holy Communion? |
59041 | What is Holy Communion? |
59041 | What is an Unworthy Communion? |
59041 | What is an Unworthy Communion? |
59041 | What is it that has happened? |
59041 | What is it to be generous? |
59041 | What is it to live to Christ? |
59041 | What is it? |
59041 | What is meant by merit? |
59041 | What is said of these bad ones? |
59041 | What is that pile of bank- notes pilfered from your employer, you dishonest clerk? |
59041 | What is that which is glimmering white like a sail upon the waves? |
59041 | What is the answer? |
59041 | What is the event that can interrupt the great harmonies of Heaven, and furnish the Angels with a new song? |
59041 | What is the idea that we have of a kingdom? |
59041 | What is the invariable testimony, both of Protestants and of Catholics, as to the manner of his receiving them? |
59041 | What is the love of God, or in what does it consist? |
59041 | What is the meaning, then, of loving with one''s whole heart and soul and mind? |
59041 | What is the reason that Christian art has so far surpassed heathen art? |
59041 | What is the reason that every thing thus honors you? |
59041 | What is the world and all in it, compared to the love of God? |
59041 | What is there criminal in these actions, that there should be displayed so much spleen against those who live in this way? |
59041 | What is this method? |
59041 | What master is this, to whom you have sold yourself? |
59041 | What means do we employ to subjugate our bodies, or was St. Paul less safe than we? |
59041 | What millions of dollars are being expended on the Central Park here just beside us? |
59041 | What old age can compare with eternity? |
59041 | What opportunity, what golden opportunity offers, to do something to please God? |
59041 | What right had you to refuse my service? |
59041 | What right has he to reign in this world? |
59041 | What right has he to your soul, or to your service? |
59041 | What saith the Apostle? |
59041 | What shall I do? |
59041 | What shall I say in conclusion, dear brethren, to spur you on to do good works? |
59041 | What should they do? |
59041 | What was it then? |
59041 | What was it they were required to do? |
59041 | What would you have? |
59041 | What''s to be done to get rid of it? |
59041 | What, she says, shall I barter away so immense a good for such trifles? |
59041 | What, then, is that badge, what are those insignia you are wearing? |
59041 | When may one be said to fulfil it in the first way? |
59041 | When you see a person put a thing to an improper use, what do you say? |
59041 | Whence do they spring? |
59041 | Where are those thirty pieces of silver for which you sold your soul? |
59041 | Where are you during the holy solemnity of the Mass? |
59041 | Where did such a notion come from? |
59041 | Where did this notion come from? |
59041 | Where did you get the notion that it''s enough to be a Catholic without being a practical one? |
59041 | Where is her heart, does it beat no more? |
59041 | Where shall we be? |
59041 | Where your good works? |
59041 | Where your merit? |
59041 | Where, I ask, shall our place be in this hierarchy? |
59041 | Where, then, is there room for presumption in such teaching as this? |
59041 | Which side is it? |
59041 | Which, then, do you take? |
59041 | Who are addressed? |
59041 | Who are they who fail to give this testimony of Christ? |
59041 | Who can believe that? |
59041 | Who can recount the calamities which from year to year have fallen upon the children of the faith? |
59041 | Who is God? |
59041 | Who says it? |
59041 | Why did these last give such a different account from the first? |
59041 | Why do summer and winter, seed- time and harvest, return so regularly? |
59041 | Why does He not take part with his own, and make them prosper most?" |
59041 | Why does not God give victory always to the just cause?" |
59041 | Why does that sound send a shuddering thrill of horror through every nerve? |
59041 | Why is the whole matter hushed up by common consent between Pilate and Caiphas? |
59041 | Why not? |
59041 | Why should we fear? |
59041 | Why stand we all the day idle? |
59041 | Why tarry we here in the bondage of Egypt? |
59041 | Why then, do they commit it? |
59041 | Why was no search made for the body of Jesus, and for his disciples? |
59041 | Why was no trial held? |
59041 | Why were not these soldiers examined before a tribunal? |
59041 | Why, what do we mean when we speak of mortal sin? |
59041 | Why, who are you, my brethren? |
59041 | Why? |
59041 | Will Jesus arrest the steps of that infamous woman, of those debased, pitiless, heartless, unfeeling dram- sellers? |
59041 | Will he touch the bier upon which you are stretched stark dead, and command those companions of yours in sin to stop? |
59041 | Will that voice of Jesus Christ be heard? |
59041 | Will the Lord be moved to pity toward his weeping Church? |
59041 | Will you have Christ or Lucifer for your king? |
59041 | Will you say that the grapes are not really fine flavored, but only called so because they belong to an excellent vine? |
59041 | Will you venture to deprive yourselves of that food of which, unless ye eat, the Saviour has said:"_ Ye have no life in you?_"Oh! |
59041 | Would we be something in the kingdom of God? |
59041 | Would we become strong in faith, great in hope, abounding in charity? |
59041 | Would you be saved by the sufferings of Christ, and refuse to take your share of suffering? |
59041 | Would you know who they are? |
59041 | Would you ride thither at your ease? |
59041 | Would you wear your crown without winning it? |
59041 | You are a Christian soldier, are you? |
59041 | You profess yourself so loudly a Christian soldier, what then are you straggling for, behind your column? |
59041 | You promised in confession that you would restore them, but why? |
59041 | You would not expect that I should urge this"Interior Life"upon you, and remain myself as I am? |
59041 | You, O adulterer; you found a home where there were smiles, and fondness, and peace; and what have you done? |
59041 | [ Footnote 56] and that"_ all things serve Him?_"[ Footnote 57][ Footnote 56: Psalm cxliv., 13.] |
59041 | _ Father, is it I?_ No, poor fellow. |
59041 | _ Father, is it I?_ No, poor girl. |
59041 | _ Is it I? |
59041 | and are not we too called the"_ Sons of God?_"[ Footnote 99][ Footnote 99: 1 St. John iii., 2.] |
59041 | and are not we too promised a place at his right hand, and to"_ sit on thrones?_"[ Footnote 95][ Footnote 95: Apoc. |
59041 | and at evening, who will grant me morning?_"[ Footnote 146] as though things were turning out very different from what we had a right to expect. |
59041 | and does not the Almighty, addressing every faithful soul, say,"_ My love, my dove, my undefiled?_"[ Footnote 98][ Footnote 98: Can. |
59041 | and in the second, what degree of this love must we practise? |
59041 | and is it not said of every just man, that his"_ continual prayer availeth much?_"[ Footnote 97][ Footnote 97: St. James v., 16.] |
59041 | and who are my brethren? |
59041 | brethren, do not say with the murderer Cain:"_ Am I my brother''s keeper?_"What have I to do with the sanctification or ruin of souls? |
59041 | brethren, do not say with the murderer Cain:"_ Am I my brother''s keeper?_"What have I to do with the sanctification or ruin of souls? |
59041 | but, how much can I do? |
59041 | exclaims St. Augustine,"you will prove your cause by sleeping witnesses?" |
59041 | have these ministers of Satan persuaded you to renounce your lawful standard, and enlist under that of the devil? |
59041 | or at least that it is too strict for you, and that you can not keep it? |
59041 | that any thing so bright? |
59041 | the Madonna so far more beautiful than the Venus de Medicis? |
59041 | to have renounced your allegiance to your rightful Lord, for the service of such a master, who trembles at the very name of Jesus Christ? |
59041 | what can it be? |
59041 | what can it mean? |
59041 | what shall we do?" |
59041 | where was the Angel of the Blessed Sacrament then? |
59041 | where, I ask, was the Angel of the Blessed Sacrament? |
59041 | who is scandalized, and I do not burn?_"This is to love our Lord in earnest. |
59041 | who will tell us something about it? |
59041 | whom seekest thou?_"she answers distractedly,"_ They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him_." |
59041 | why have we not all this spirit? |
59041 | wretched man that I am!_"was his mournful cry,"_ who shall deliver me from this body of death?_"For this reason he scourged himself. |
59041 | you say, is that all that is required of us to insure our salvation-- to keep clear of mortal sin? |
59041 | { 137} You are a soldier of Jesus Christ, are you? |
59041 | { 153} How is it, my dear brethren, with us on the way of life? |
59041 | { 167} Where then is the world which, as Christians, we are called upon to separate from? |
59041 | { 179} And perhaps, seeing this, the thought arises in your mind:"Does not God take notice of these things? |
59041 | { 193} To whom is that addressed? |
59041 | { 206} Who is there that needs to be told that the Blessed Virgin is splendid in sanctity, dazzling in beauty, and exalted in power? |
59041 | { 214} Is she said to sit at the"King''s right hand?" |
59041 | { 216} or, later in life, a poor young woman thrust away, with her husband, from a crowded inn, or fleeing by night with an infant child? |
59041 | { 220} Are you in sin? |
59041 | { 22}"_ Who is weak,_"said he,"_ and I am not weak? |
59041 | { 243} Did you ever know, my brethren, that God had been so good to you? |
59041 | { 249} Now, how shall we account for such fortitude as this? |
59041 | { 258} But how is it with those who are_ spiritually_ proud? |
59041 | { 269} Are we then, my brethren, anxiously desirous of saving our souls? |
59041 | { 278} Now, what is more desirable than God? |
59041 | { 302} Why does the sun rise in the morning, and go down at night? |
59041 | { 304} Do you ask what has been done for your souls? |
59041 | { 306} Have you, my brethren, so regarded yourselves? |
59041 | { 30} Now why would you say this? |
59041 | { 328} How is it with a large body of students at one of our colleges or universities? |
59041 | { 329} Where can you find the trace of any real care of your souls? |
59041 | { 336} Did not Christ look upon mankind with human eyes, and make all our human feelings his own? |
59041 | { 341} What language can express the gratitude which filled her heart toward her deliverers? |
59041 | { 34} Now, then, I think I hear you say to me: Father, have I then done this horrible thing? |
59041 | { 36} And you, O adulteress, why have you come here? |
59041 | { 74} And when one of the servants said to the master:"_ Wilt thou that we go to gather it up? |
59041 | { 98} But what degree of this love must we exercise in order to obtain everlasting life? |
37794 | Can two walk together except they be agreed? |
37794 | Do I truly love the Lord Jesus? 37794 Does your Excellency never forgive?" |
37794 | Earnestly contend? |
37794 | How prospers the fight? |
37794 | How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation? |
37794 | I am to depart, you to remain; but which shall have the happier lot, who can tell? |
37794 | I did not ask after my sons,replied the patriotic woman,"but how prospers the fight?" |
37794 | If these things are done in the green tree, what shall not be done in the dry? |
37794 | Is Ephraim my dear son? 37794 Is it not welded to the alloy?" |
37794 | Know ye not,he writes to the Corinthians,"that they who run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize? |
37794 | Knowledge is power;but what knowledge is so mighty as that which Christ brought from the bosom of the Father? |
37794 | Lord, what wait I for? 37794 Shall I hide from Abraham,"said Jehovah,"the thing that I do?" |
37794 | Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? |
37794 | The Lord hath spoken; who can but prophesy? |
37794 | The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear? |
37794 | This is a hard saying; who can hear it? |
37794 | What are a million of human lives,said the great Napoleon,"to the scheme of a man like me?" |
37794 | What son is he whom the father chasteneth not? |
37794 | What wilt thou do with them, dear Jesus? |
37794 | Who can tell how oft he offendeth? |
37794 | Who hath hardened himself against the Lord and prospered? |
37794 | Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God''s elect? 37794 Who was he? |
37794 | Why doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sin? |
37794 | Would you obtain a prize in the Olympic games? |
37794 | All are his; and shall he not do what he will with his own? |
37794 | Am I his, or am I not?" |
37794 | Am I saying what sounds strange to you, if not absurd and preposterous? |
37794 | Among all the myriads of Adam''s children, what one quality was there worthy of his love? |
37794 | And can you be so selfish as to forget all griefs but your own? |
37794 | And can you hope for exemption? |
37794 | And did he not pray for his little flock, that they might love one another as he had loved them? |
37794 | And do we not need such assurance? |
37794 | And does not his most loving apostle plainly tell us that this is the proof of our having passed from death to life? |
37794 | And hath the Master abandoned those who are obeying the mandate and perpetuating the sacred succession? |
37794 | And how had the apostle attained to such experience? |
37794 | And how receive we the message and respond to the demand? |
37794 | And how shall we pray successfully, if we answer not our own prayers by pouring our offerings into the Lord''s treasury? |
37794 | And if correct, is not Robert Hall''s remark equally true-- that"indulgent parents are cruel to their children and to posterity"? |
37794 | And if he, why not we? |
37794 | And in these instances, is it not likely that we are deceived often by appearances? |
37794 | And is there any guilt or misery from which the Mighty to save can not deliver the soul that trusts in him? |
37794 | And its any thing short of infinite mercy adequate to the forgiveness of such a debt? |
37794 | And shall the Christian conceal his faith or suppress his convictions to please those who hate the light because their deeds are evil? |
37794 | And to be content-- is it not, after all, the best way to be well supplied? |
37794 | And to whom, or how many, is the crown to be given? |
37794 | And we, my brethren-- shall we not take warning from the fate of the unfaithful people? |
37794 | And what avails your discontent? |
37794 | And what can the end be but a blasting malediction from the Master? |
37794 | And what reason for discontent have we, that this noble hero had not? |
37794 | And what saith the apostle? |
37794 | And what, to such a prize, are all the splendors of royalty, with all the magnificent pageantry and subsequent privileges of an Olympian triumph? |
37794 | And when his loving heart broke beneath the burden of its anguish, think you he ceased to grieve for a guilty and ungrateful world? |
37794 | And when the divine Heart- searcher calls him to judgment, what answer can he make to the dread animadversions of the angry king? |
37794 | And who ever matched him in beneficence and bounty? |
37794 | And who shall blame this longing for rest, this sighing for home, this desire of a better country? |
37794 | And why did Ignatius chant so cheerfully among the lions, and Polycarp pour forth his thanksgiving so joyfully as he stood unbound in the flames? |
37794 | And will you not ask and receive, that your joy may be full? |
37794 | And you, have you not infinitely more ground for gratitude than for grumbling? |
37794 | And"if God be for us, who can be against us?" |
37794 | And, failing in this, where is the proof of your love to him who laid down his life for us all? |
37794 | Are his commandments grievous to you, or do you find his yoke easy and his burden light? |
37794 | Are not the redeemed of his dear Son his jewels, his_ segulla_, his peculiar treasure? |
37794 | Are not those who occupy our pulpits the accredited ambassadors of Christ? |
37794 | Are these achievements to be wrought without the Master''s presence? |
37794 | Are these victories to be won without the Captain of our salvation? |
37794 | Are those that remain worth nothing to you because others have been removed? |
37794 | Are weapons used to gain freedom? |
37794 | Are you afraid of the opinions or the speeches of others? |
37794 | Are you not ready to take up your cross, and follow him to Calvary? |
37794 | Are you satisfied with the proof? |
37794 | As with a sword in his bones, they reproached him; saying continually,"Where is now thy God?" |
37794 | Ask him now the question he has often asked with a sneer--"Is there a hell, and where is it?" |
37794 | Ask the world,"What think ye of Christ?" |
37794 | At peace with heaven and earth, what has he to fear from either? |
37794 | But are we not in danger of overlooking what is much more essential to our prosperity? |
37794 | But how shall he pay it in prison? |
37794 | But in what slave- mart of the universe shall God sell the sinner? |
37794 | But is he willing to cut down the worthless tree, or blast it with his curse? |
37794 | But is love to Christ indeed so common? |
37794 | But is not this practically the language of the believer who sinks into a state of despondency under providential bereavements? |
37794 | But is not this the relation of all men? |
37794 | But is there not something still better, which ought to be an element in every process of human education? |
37794 | But there is something, see you not? |
37794 | But where are the forms and colors to rival those with which we are adorning the new Jerusalem? |
37794 | But who can calculate the consequences? |
37794 | But why dwell on this dismal theme? |
37794 | But why should faith be thus tested? |
37794 | Can all your anxiety change the color of a hair, or add a moment to your little all of life? |
37794 | Can any who hear him ever forget those gracious utterances? |
37794 | Can those who love the Saviour ever forget him? |
37794 | Can we alter the facts, undo the deeds, repair the wrongs, recall the time, or efface the record? |
37794 | Can we survey the valley of vision, and not prophesy to all the winds of God? |
37794 | Can you appeal to him in the language of the psalmist--"Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honor dwelleth"? |
37794 | Can you not trust him who, in the power of an endless life, has established his throne in your hearts? |
37794 | Can you not trust the bounty of your King, the affection of your Father? |
37794 | Can you say with the psalmist--"The desire of our soul is unto thy name, and to the remembrance of thee"? |
37794 | Christ hath commanded us to proselyte all nations; shall we be recreant to our responsibility? |
37794 | Christ is the love of God incarnate in our nature; and where shall the loving John find rest, but in the bosom of the Eternal Love? |
37794 | Come and analyze the water, and discuss its qualities, and speculate about its probable effects? |
37794 | Come and explore? |
37794 | Come and investigate? |
37794 | Come and see? |
37794 | Come and what? |
37794 | Coming boldly through his merit and mediation to the throne of grace, shall we not certainly obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need? |
37794 | Could any mere mortal have spoken so? |
37794 | Could there be a more unlovely contrast to the conduct of the king? |
37794 | Dear Reader: In the preface to Pauline Charity, did not the writer promise thee that volume should be his last? |
37794 | Do men light a candle to put it under a bushel or a bed? |
37794 | Do not the anxious thought and the longing to know indicate at least some small degree of love? |
37794 | Do they generally accord to him his claims, practically observe his requirements, and devote all their energies to his service? |
37794 | Do you delight to converse with those who delight to converse with Christ and to converse with you about him? |
37794 | Do you esteem his service a hard bondage, or the blessed freedom of the sons of God? |
37794 | Do you joyfully listen to the messages of his grace, and read with pleasure the epistles of his love? |
37794 | Do you love to speak with Christ in prayer? |
37794 | Do you meditate sweetly of him in the night- watches? |
37794 | Do you prefer their society to that of the world? |
37794 | Do you think often of Jesus, and dwell with delight upon his love? |
37794 | Does he mock them with an invitation which is insincere? |
37794 | Does it perish in the process? |
37794 | Does not God know what is best for you, and will he alter his wise and gracious economy to gratify your foolish and capricious desires? |
37794 | Does not St. Paul tell us that as many as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ? |
37794 | Does not religion favor the most thorough mental discipline and contribute to the harmonious development of all the spiritual powers? |
37794 | Does not the repetition seem to imply a danger of mistake and self- deception? |
37794 | Does the sun refuse to shine lest he should offend the bat or blind the owl? |
37794 | Earnestly contend? |
37794 | Even if he offer no plea, can you be utterly indifferent to his grief? |
37794 | Every thing else tested, why not Christian character? |
37794 | For, what is Christian character? |
37794 | Had Jesus deemed it a question of little consequence, think you he would have put it thrice in so searching a manner to St. Peter? |
37794 | Had Jesus desired to limit his salvation to a few unconditionally elected favorites, would he not have restricted the invitation? |
37794 | Had he remained indifferent to our helpless woes in the heavenly mansions, who could have impeached one of his perfections? |
37794 | Hard sayings are these to ears like yours? |
37794 | Has he not shut you, like Noah, into the ark of your salvation? |
37794 | Has our penitential humiliation been real and effectual, or only feigned and perfunctory? |
37794 | Have these thirty- six days in the holy mount deepened our communion with God and intensified our love of holiness? |
37794 | Have we borne fruit, or only leaves? |
37794 | Have we no loving compassions for them, no desire to rescue and save their souls alive? |
37794 | Have we not to- day the same gospel preached to us? |
37794 | Have we such hope? |
37794 | Have you never said with David--"I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; rivers of waters run down mine eyes because they keep not thy law"? |
37794 | Have you no sympathy, then, with the Prince of sufferers? |
37794 | He hath afflicted you, perhaps, on purpose to draw you to himself; and will you thus defeat the designs of his mercy? |
37794 | He is now challenging your affection, as Delilah challenged that of Samson:"How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me?" |
37794 | His better days what human art shall depict or finite mind conceive? |
37794 | His wife, the last on earth that ought to have been unkind to him, assailed him with bitter mockery; saying,"Dost thou still retain thine integrity? |
37794 | How can you love Christ, and not love Christians? |
37794 | How is it with you, dear brethren? |
37794 | How is it with you? |
37794 | How long halt you? |
37794 | How much worldly good is necessary for any of us? |
37794 | How shall we meet the reckoning? |
37794 | How, then, can the transgressor hope to pay the new and additional debt which he has incurred by innumerable crimes? |
37794 | How, without him, can we bear to live or dare to die? |
37794 | I have heard some honest Christians sing:"''Tis a point I long to know; Oft it causes anxious thought; Do I love the Lord or no? |
37794 | If David had such consciousness of sin, what must our consciousness be if we knew ourselves as well? |
37794 | If not, how can it be said that you love them as you love yourself? |
37794 | If not, how can you say,"We love him because he first loved us"? |
37794 | If we have no sense of the stroke, how shall we submit to the hand that smites us? |
37794 | If you love the Father, will you not love his children? |
37794 | If you love the Master, will you not love his servants? |
37794 | In all the eternity to come, what satisfaction can we offer for our faults? |
37794 | In all things, do you seek his pleasure, and rejoice to do his will? |
37794 | In comparison of our sins against God, what are our brother''s sins against us? |
37794 | In our present state, what idea can we form of the condition of the soul, and the mode of its subsistence, when dislodged from the body? |
37794 | In the crown that glitters in the hand of your Judge, is there not sufficient indemnity for all the agony of the conflict? |
37794 | In the immortal Christ we have a sufficient answer to the patriarch''s question--"If a man die, shall he live again?" |
37794 | In this grace, why should we not equal St. Paul? |
37794 | In what school, from what teacher, had he learned so great a lesson? |
37794 | Is he a pleasant child? |
37794 | Is he not the very friend we need? |
37794 | Is it not as true to- day, as it was when he said it, nearly nineteen centuries ago,"Without me ye can do nothing"? |
37794 | Is it not his word they speak, his claims they urge, his love they proclaim, and his salvation they offer? |
37794 | Is it not the high calling of every Christian? |
37794 | Is it your meat and drink to do his will, as it was his to do the will of his Father? |
37794 | Is my conduct, public and private, such as to put the matter beyond all doubt and controversy? |
37794 | Is not Christianity pre- eminently the religion of peace and love? |
37794 | Is not David''s rock your rock, your fortress, your high tower, and unfailing city of refuge? |
37794 | Is not every attribute of Jehovah in league with the devout believer, and all his infinite resources pledged to the support of his servants? |
37794 | Is not the gospel platform broad enough to afford room for all? |
37794 | Is not the loss of the former sufficient, without adding to it, by your immoderate grief, the infinitely greater loss of the latter? |
37794 | Is the Messiah at length come? |
37794 | Is the alien child enriched by adoption into the royal household, making him heir to the crown? |
37794 | Is the culprit enriched by pardon on the scaffold? |
37794 | Is the disinherited enriched by the restoration of his lost estate? |
37794 | Is the exile enriched by the edict that calls him home? |
37794 | Is the leper enriched by the cure of his foul disease? |
37794 | Is the prisoner enriched by the power that gives him freedom? |
37794 | Is the thought of him ineffably pleasing and joyful to your soul? |
37794 | Is the word of Christ the supreme law of your life? |
37794 | Is their interest as dear to you as your own, their reputation, and the salvation of their souls? |
37794 | Is there a glory in eloquence? |
37794 | Is there a glory in heroism? |
37794 | Is there a glory in letters? |

37794 | Is there a glory in poetry? |
37794 | Is there a glory in royalty? |
37794 | Is there a glory in science? |
37794 | Is there a glory in the æsthetic arts? |
37794 | Is there nothing better than guns and bayonets? |
37794 | Is there one of us that has not sinned more deeply than David ever did? |
37794 | Is this the spirit of Him who prayed for those who were nailing him to the cross? |
37794 | Is this your experience? |
37794 | It is God that justifieth; who is he that condemneth? |
37794 | It is opposed to anxiety, which is always taking needless thought for the morrow, saying,"What shall we eat? |
37794 | May not every man hold his own opinion without assailing that of another man? |
37794 | May not the religious culture have been radically defective in its principle or culpably incomplete in its process? |
37794 | Merely an intellectual animal? |
37794 | Must we reject and oppose, as unsound or heretical, every thing that does not happen to fall within the limits of our own particular belief? |
37794 | Nay, do not many of us despise our own mercy, and reject the gracious counsel of God, not knowing the day of our visitation? |
37794 | Nay, what idea can we form of the natural body developing into the spiritual, and all its rudimental powers unfolding in their perfection? |
37794 | No such bond, what becomes of the Church, and what assurance has she of an eternal inheritance? |
37794 | No such memorial, where is the recognized bond, connecting the body on earth to its glorified Head in heaven? |
37794 | Nobler, not because the material is more precious, and the architecture more perfect; for what is a pile of brick to such a miracle in marble? |
37794 | Now, what is"the evil"from which Christ would have his people kept?--Sorrow? |
37794 | Ought not a common bond and a common condition to produce in them mutual kindness and sympathy? |
37794 | Overwhelmed with love and wonder, the saint exclaimed:"What shall I give thee, sweet child? |
37794 | Persecution? |
37794 | Poetry and philosophy have their charms; but what poetry is like that of the Holy Spirit, and what philosophy like that of redeeming love? |
37794 | Poverty? |
37794 | Presenting them with solemn benediction to the Father, does he not intimate to us the offering of his humanity to Heaven as a sacrifice for our sins? |
37794 | Sell the debtor, with his wife and children? |
37794 | Shall Jesus pray in vain for his redeemed? |
37794 | Shall Satan and his servants triumph over the grace of God? |
37794 | Shall all his labor be lost upon you? |
37794 | Shall he fail those who have committed their all to his advocacy? |
37794 | Shall not the master of the garden gather his own fruits, the commander of the army dispose of his own men? |
37794 | Shall souls over which seraphs have sung hallelujahs excite the mirth and mockery of fiends by their fall? |
37794 | Shall the fruit be blasted in the bud? |
37794 | Shall this precious thing perish through your faithlessness to so sublime a trust? |
37794 | Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
37794 | Shall we be like him who, having promised Mercury part of his nuts, ate the kernels himself, and gave the god the shells? |
37794 | So praying, the breath of the Holy Spirit will soon blow the spark into flame; and when the Master asks once more,"Lovest thou me?" |
37794 | Some drink themselves to death, and others grieve themselves to death; who shall pronounce the former more criminal than the latter? |
37794 | Taking the bread and the cup, does he not remind us of his having taken our flesh and blood? |
37794 | Temptation? |
37794 | The agony of such a situation how can we imagine? |
37794 | The apostle saith,"Is any among you afflicted? |
37794 | Then whither shall I go to meet my Lord? |
37794 | Think you any estimate of the number and enormity of our sins can be an exaggeration? |
37794 | Think you by unrighteousness to win the crown of righteousness? |
37794 | To achieve glory and honor? |
37794 | To acquire riches? |
37794 | To augment power? |
37794 | To expel enemies? |
37794 | To extend dominion? |
37794 | To gratify revenge? |
37794 | To liberate captives? |
37794 | To my question--"Was the soldier lying here your son?" |
37794 | To repel invasion? |
37794 | To secure commendation? |
37794 | To subjugate nations? |
37794 | To the rich, commonly, what is more terrible than poverty? |
37794 | To whom will you go for aid, if not to God? |
37794 | To whom, then, will you apply for help, but to your divine and all- sufficient Saviour? |
37794 | Truly loving your Monarch, can you fail to love your loyal fellow- subjects? |
37794 | Trusting in him who thus pleads for his disciples, and seconding his gracious intercession with our own supplications, what have we to fear? |
37794 | Was it not Jehovah in the waters of the Jordan, that cured the leprosy of Naaman the Syrian? |
37794 | Was it not the angel in the waters of Bethesda, that gave them their healing virtue? |
37794 | Was not holy obedience the tenor and tendency of his life? |
37794 | Was there ever a more ingenuous confession, a more thorough contrition, a more profound humility, or a more utter self- despair? |
37794 | What Christian soul does not respond to the sweet words of Milton? |

37794 | What evil agency or influence shall harm those who"dwell in the secret place of the Most High and abide under the shadow of the Almighty?" |
37794 | What is it then? |
37794 | What is man? |
37794 | What is the end and aim of the gospel ministry? |
37794 | What is the strategy of generals and the prowess of armies, to him"who rideth upon the heavens in thy help, and in his excellency on the sky"? |
37794 | What is your life, and what control has any man over his destiny? |
37794 | What meant he? |
37794 | What more at variance with the prevalent ideas of the day? |
37794 | What nobler theme could occupy our thoughts? |

37794 | What service have you ever done him? |
37794 | What shall we do, or whither turn, for safety? |
37794 | What value do we set upon the faith which we are not willing to defend-- which we attempt not to teach to the world? |
37794 | What will you do when the ground dissolves beneath you, and the atmosphere around you becomes flame? |
37794 | What, then, are the conditions on which such intimacy of the soul with Christ is to be established? |
37794 | What, then, is this faith? |
37794 | What, then, is to be done? |
37794 | When St. Peter asked--"How oft shall my brother trespass against me, and I forgive him? |
37794 | When we have given ourselves, what else can we withhold from him who gave all his wealth to enrich us, and has enriched us most by giving us himself? |
37794 | When will you seek the throne of grace, if not in time of trouble? |
37794 | Whence this necessity? |
37794 | Where is his love for man, or his loyalty to Christ, who says nothing, does nothing, gives nothing, for the diffusion of this heavenly light? |
37794 | Where will you find comfort, if not in his love? |
37794 | Where, then, is the proper limit, and when does sorrow become excessive, and therefore sinful? |
37794 | Whereunto shall I liken it, or with what comparison shall it be compared? |
37794 | While we contemplate it, hear we not a voice from the excellent glory bidding us take off the shoes from our feet? |
37794 | Who dreams now of warfare in the cause of Christian truth? |

37794 | Who hath not sat in the shadow of the tomb? |
37794 | Who here is not athirst? |
37794 | Who is this, sitting on a block of travertine, with a tablet on his knee, a stylus in his hand, and a little ewer- shaped lamp at his side? |

37794 | Who talks of change? |
37794 | Who will presume to question this statement? |
37794 | Who will want him but Satan? |
37794 | Who would frankly confess so base an ingratitude? |
37794 | Who would not quit the scene of toil and strife and danger for the regions of eternal blessedness and peace? |
37794 | Why disquiet yourselves in vain? |
37794 | Why do so many sincere Christians seem often melancholy and unhappy? |
37794 | Why do you hesitate? |
37794 | Why is not the Christian life a perpetual joy? |
37794 | Why should a"wise master- builder"hesitate to connect religion with science and literature in the edification and adornment of the soul? |
37794 | Why, then, should not the believer in Jesus rejoice evermore with joy unspeakable and full of glory? |
37794 | Will God leave to the lion and the wolf the sheep for whom the divine Shepherd cares so lovingly and pleads so earnestly? |
37794 | Will he not hide them in the hollow of his hand, and guard them as the apple of his eye? |
37794 | Will my love bear the ordeal of a faithful and impartial scrutiny? |
37794 | Will not he who clothes the lilies and feeds the sparrows regard your necessities, O ye of little faith? |
37794 | Will not the Father hear the petitions offered in the name of the Son with whom he is ever well pleased? |

37794 | Will you turn your back upon him when you need him most? |
37794 | With a few exceptions of unbelief so blasphemous as to shock ordinary irreligion, are all men truly his friends? |
37794 | With hearty faith, and grateful tears, and earnest obedience? |
37794 | With regard to any undecided course of action, you will not ask,"How will this please others?" |
37794 | Without Christ, what were our knowledge but ignorance, our wisdom but folly, our eloquence but noise? |
37794 | Ye who now like Lazarus have your evil things on earth, will you not hereafter with Lazarus be comforted in Abraham''s bosom? |

37794 | and what are the finest bronzes and marbles to the living statuary with which we are peopling her palaces? |
37794 | and wherewithal shall we be clothed?" |
37794 | and who shall ever speak of purple robes and jewelled crowns, that has once beheld the immortal beauty of the humblest saint in heaven? |
37794 | and why and how must we contend for it? |
37794 | and why art thou disquieted within me? |
37794 | but,"How will it please Christ?" |
37794 | do you not dwell in the secret place of the Most High, and abide under the shadow of the Almighty? |

37794 | how much wealth, honor, happiness? |
37794 | is it not a blessed touch? |
37794 | is it not enough to make their guardian angels turn away their faces and weep beneath their wings? |

37794 | is it so? |
37794 | know ye not that your treasures will decay, your glories wither, and all the delights of sense perish with the world? |
37794 | on what mountain shall I stand to see my Saviour?" |
37794 | or where is the American builder that would dream of competing with Giotto? |

37794 | what is poverty to you who are to inherit all things-- heirs of God and joint- heirs with Jesus Christ? |

37794 | where sleep our energies? |
37794 | where slumber the holy fires within our hearts? |
37794 | who shall deliver me from the body of this death?" |
37794 | why cumbereth it the ground?" |
37794 | why not rather the whole Christian character? |
14139 | But,you say,"suppose his name goes down under the hoof of scorn and contempt?" |

14139 | Suppose his physical health fails? |
14139 | Two hundred and fifty thousand dollars? |
14139 | Well,said the minister,"would n''t you like to have me pray with you?" |
14139 | Well,you say,"I have been driven out of that tower; where shall I go?" |
14139 | What are you waiting here for? |
14139 | What do you mean? |
14139 | What,say you,"ca n''t a man be saved without going to church?" |
14139 | Where did your grandfather die? |

14139 | About to jump, where will you land? |
14139 | After death seizes upon that soul, is there no resurrection? |
14139 | And can it be possible that our eternity is dependent upon the healthy action of that which can be so easily destroyed? |
14139 | And the soul will cry:"Is this forever?" |
14139 | And then, when the bread is passed around, they taste of it skeptically and inquiringly, as much as to say:"Is it bread? |
14139 | And who will say, on earth or in Heaven, that Havelock had not the right to preach? |
14139 | And will He take care of the sparrow, will He take care of the hawk, and let you die? |
14139 | Are not those of you who are in the third class ready to pass over into the second division, and become seekers after Christ? |
14139 | Are not women as sharp as men on washer- women and milliners and mantua- makers? |
14139 | Are the clerks in your store irate against the firm? |
14139 | Are there any here who would like to enter into that association? |

14139 | Are we to go through the slaughter? |
14139 | Are you all fed? |
14139 | Are you doing nothing? |
14139 | Are you ready for the emergency? |
14139 | Are you ready to join with me in some new work for Christ? |

14139 | As soon as it came within speaking distance the people on the shore cried out:"Did you save any of them? |
14139 | Ask the day of judgment when her crowned debauchees, Commodus and Pertinax, and Caligula and Diocletian, shall answer for their infamy? |
14139 | Ay, are you not ready to pass over into the first division, and become the pardoned sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty? |
14139 | Because their own personal expenses are lavish? |
14139 | Because they are avaricious? |
14139 | But are there no truths to be uttered in regard to this great evil? |
14139 | But as money is not a lawful tender, what is? |
14139 | But do you know what made the ancient deluge a necessity? |
14139 | But hear you not the tramp of your unpardoned sins all around the tower? |
14139 | But how shall Abimelech and his army take this temple of Berith and the men who are there fortified? |
14139 | But suppose you do not keep it? |

14139 | Can a million wrongs make one right? |
14139 | Can it be possible that heaven can not buy you in? |
14139 | Can one speckled and bad apple in a barrel of diseased apples turn the other apples good? |

14139 | Can you do such a shocking thing as that? |
14139 | Can you have any doubt about who it is on the seat on the judgment day? |
14139 | Can you imagine anything more unimportant than the coming of a poor woman from Moab to Judah? |
14139 | Did it make you gloomy and sad? |
14139 | Did not a meteor run on evangelistic errand on the first Christmas night, and designate the rough cradle of our Lord? |

14139 | Did you ever read De Quincey''s"Confessions of an Opium- Eater?" |
14139 | Did you go with your head cast down? |
14139 | Did you save any of them?" |
14139 | Did you think that your soul was a mere trinket which for a few pennies you could buy in a toy shop? |
14139 | Did you think that your soul was short- lived, and that, panting, it would soon lie down for extinction? |
14139 | Did you think that your soul, if once lost, might be found again if you went out with torches and lanterns? |
14139 | Did you, my brother, ever measure the meaning of that one passage:"Behold, I stand at the door and knock"? |
14139 | Do n''t remember them, eh? |
14139 | Do 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? |
14139 | Do n''t you want to go in with such a rabble? |
14139 | Do not women, as much as men, beat down to the lowest figure the woman who sews for them? |
14139 | Do you believe that? |
14139 | Do you believe that? |
14139 | Do you believe that? |
14139 | Do you expect me to take that pardon offered with such a voice as you have, with such an awkward manner as you have? |
14139 | Do you hear that? |
14139 | Do you know how it is made? |
14139 | Do you know where Sheba was? |
14139 | Do you know who Supply and Demand are? |
14139 | Do you not feel the swellings of the great oceanic tides of Divine mercy? |
14139 | Do you not see the troops? |
14139 | Do you realize this? |
14139 | Do you remember all those lapses in conduct? |
14139 | Do you remember all those opprobrious words and thoughts and actions? |
14139 | Do you say that I swing open the gate of heaven too far? |
14139 | Do you want history? |
14139 | Do you want logic? |
14139 | Do you want poetry? |
14139 | Does it not seem as if his volume of infamy were complete? |
14139 | Does it not seem as if the last fifty years would make an appropriate peroration? |
14139 | Does it reform him? |
14139 | Far on in the ages one lost soul shall cry out to another lost soul:"How long have you been here?" |
14139 | Fifteen, twenty, forty, sixty years? |
14139 | For fun? |
14139 | For what are you taking it? |
14139 | From what land did you come? |
14139 | Furthermore, let me ask why a chance should be given in the next world if we have refused innumerable chances in this? |
14139 | Give us another chance"? |
14139 | Great God, is life such an uncertain thing? |
14139 | Had he lost his patience? |
14139 | Had he resigned his confidence in the Christian religion? |
14139 | Had the world treated him so badly that he had become its sworn enemy? |
14139 | Happy? |
14139 | Happy? |
14139 | Happy? |
14139 | Happy? |
14139 | Happy? |
14139 | Has he a right to expect to be invited after all the indignities he has done you? |
14139 | Has he found any new elixir? |
14139 | Have I held back any truth, though it were plain, though it were unpalatable? |
14139 | Have not pains shot their poisoned arrows, and fevers kindled their fire in your brain? |
14139 | Have they been used for the elevation of society or for its depression? |
14139 | Have we not the Lord Almighty on our side? |
14139 | Have you any idea that sin will wear out? |
14139 | Have you ever imagined what will be the soliloquy of the soul on that day unpardoned, as it looks back upon its past life? |
14139 | Have you ever tried it? |
14139 | Have you given one half day to the working out of your salvation with fear and trembling? |
14139 | Have you made any effort, any expenditure, any exertion for your immortal and spiritual health? |
14139 | Have you never felt the quiver of its peerless wing? |
14139 | Have you no idea of the coming of such a time? |
14139 | Have you not noticed that God harnesses men, bad men, and accomplishes good through them? |
14139 | Have you nothing better than money to leave your children? |
14139 | He says,"Shall I stop the mill, or shall I run it on half time, or shall I cut down the men''s wages?" |
14139 | He says:"Do you remember those chances you had for heaven, and missed them? |
14139 | Hear you not all the trumpets of heaven and all the drums of hell? |
14139 | Hear you not the welcome of those who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us? |
14139 | His old comrades came in and said as they bent over his corpse:"What is the matter with you, Boggsey?" |
14139 | How are these evils to be eradicated? |
14139 | How can a man stand in the pulpit and preach on the subject of temperance when he is indulging such a habit as that? |
14139 | How could you do so? |
14139 | How dare the Christian Church ever get discouraged? |
14139 | How darest thou sleep in harvest- time and with so few hours in which to reap? |
14139 | How do I know it? |
14139 | How do you feel toward that spiritual fraud, turpitude and perfidy? |
14139 | How long did it take God to slay the hosts of Sennacherib or burn Sodom or shake down Jericho? |
14139 | How long have you, my brother, lived unforgiven? |
14139 | How long will it take God, when He once arises in His strength, to overthrow all the forces of iniquity? |
14139 | How much robustness of health would a man have if he hid himself in a dark closet? |
14139 | How shall it be taken? |
14139 | How shall this great multitude be supplied? |
14139 | How then? |
14139 | I can not help now, while preaching, asking myself the question-- Am I ready for that? |
14139 | I do not blame you for asking me the quivering, throbbing, burning, resounding, appalling question of my text,"Wherefore do the wicked live?" |
14139 | I 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?" |
14139 | I 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?" |
14139 | I see a man rising in that great crowd and asking:"Is there any one here who has bread or meat?" |
14139 | I start out on this King''s highway, and I find a harper, and I say:"What is your name?" |
14139 | I wonder what proportion of this audience will be saved? |
14139 | If I bear a little too hard with my right foot on the earth, does it break through into the grave? |
14139 | If a man topples off the edge of life, is there nothing to break his fall? |
14139 | If a woman asks a dollar for her work, does not her female employer ask her if she will not take ninety cents? |
14139 | If an impenitent man goes overboard, are there no grappling- hooks to hoist him into safety? |
14139 | If anything is purchased and paid for, ought not the goods to be delivered? |
14139 | If you are on the right side, to what cavalry troop, to what artillery service, to what garrison duty do you belong? |
14139 | If you have bought property and given the money, do you not want to come into possession of it? |
14139 | If, then, we are to be compelled to go out of this world, where are we to go to? |
14139 | In other words, in what Sabbath- school do you teach? |
14139 | Is it I?" |
14139 | Is it all true? |
14139 | Is it not fair that you love Him? |
14139 | Is it not imperative that you love Him? |
14139 | Is it not right that you love Him? |
14139 | Is it possible that a man or woman sworn to be a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ is doing nothing? |
14139 | Is it to frighten your soul? |
14139 | Is it to help him back to a moral and spiritual life? |
14139 | Is not that plain? |
14139 | Is that so? |
14139 | Is that the kind of society that reforms a man and prepares him for heaven? |
14139 | Is there a God? |
14139 | Is there a divergence now between the parlor and the kitchen? |
14139 | Is there enough muscle in your arm for such a combat? |
14139 | Is there no help? |
14139 | Is there no way out?" |
14139 | Is 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? |
14139 | Is this a mere statement of a preacher whose business it is to talk morals, or is the testimony of the world just as emphatic? |
14139 | Is this plea all in vain? |
14139 | Is 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? |
14139 | Lend you a shilling? |
14139 | Lovely? |
14139 | Messages that say:"When are you coming home to see us? |
14139 | Must He take another darling child from your household? |
14139 | Must He take another installment from your worldly estate? |
14139 | Must I meet you there, oh, you dying but immortal auditory? |
14139 | Must life come upon you with sorrow after sorrow, and smite you down with sickness before you will be moved, and before you will feel? |
14139 | My friends, my neighbors, what can I say to induce you to attend to this matter-- to attend to it now? |
14139 | My 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?" |
14139 | Need I tell a cultured audience like this that there is no other name given among men by which ye can be saved? |
14139 | Now what is the use of my discussing it any more? |
14139 | Now, where is this to begin? |
14139 | Oh, impenitent soul, have you ever tried the power of prayer? |
14139 | Oh, man and woman, have you not learned that like vultures, like hawks, like eagles, riches have wings and fly away? |
14139 | Oh, men of the strong arm and the stout heart, what use are you making of your physical forces? |
14139 | Oh, must God come upon you in some other way? |
14139 | Oh, my brother, what possessed you that you should part with your soul so cheap? |
14139 | Oh, why do you not put out your arm and reach it? |
14139 | Oh, would it not be better for us to get our nature through the Grace of Christ revolutionized and transfigured? |
14139 | Oh, ye pursued, sinning, dying, troubled, exhausted souls, are you not ready now to hear me while I tell you of Christ, the Refuge? |
14139 | Oh, ye who have tried this world, is it a satisfactory portion? |
14139 | Old age? |
14139 | On what battle- field, my brothers? |
14139 | Only one test-- do you love Jesus? |
14139 | Or for all eternity where would you be? |
14139 | Or had you no idea what your soul was worth? |
14139 | Ought not the apostle to know? |
14139 | Ought you not give him freedom of choice?" |
14139 | Out of so dark a night did there ever dawn so bright a morning? |
14139 | Out of this audience to- day, how many will get to the shore of heaven? |
14139 | Pay? |
14139 | People cried out,"Who ever heard of such theories of ethics and government? |
14139 | Really, is it bread?" |
14139 | Roll over me with all thy surges, ye oceans of sorrow"? |
14139 | Ruth going into that harvest- field might have said:"There is a straw, and there is a straw, but what is a straw? |
14139 | Shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?" |
14139 | Shall I give an account for what I have told you to- night? |
14139 | Shall I tell you when your death hour will come? |
14139 | Shall 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? |
14139 | Shall it rise into the companionship of the white- robed, whose sins Christ has slain? |
14139 | Shall you, His child, rush in to criticise or arraign or condemn the divine government? |
14139 | She coaxes him again, and says:"Now tell me the secret of this great strength?" |
14139 | She said to Wellington:"Can there nothing good be said of this man?" |
14139 | She said:"Are you not going to pay me?" |
14139 | She took up the death- warrant, and it trembled in her hand as she again asked:"Does no one know anything good of this man?" |
14139 | Some one said to him,"What are you listening for?" |
14139 | Speak, dying Christian-- what light do you see? |
14139 | Spinola said to Sir Horace Vere:"Of what did your brother die?" |
14139 | Standing before some who shall be launched into the great eternity, what are your equipments? |
14139 | The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?" |
14139 | The debt is paid, and the receipt is handed to you, written in the blood of the Son of God-- will you have it? |
14139 | The employer says:"I hear you are going to leave me?" |
14139 | The entire kingdom of the morally bankrupt by themselves, where are the salvatory influences to come from? |
14139 | The happiest, and the brightest, and the fairest in all heaven-- who are they?" |
14139 | The man turned to the other, and said:"Where did your father die?" |
14139 | The men whose life- time work is the study of the science of health say so, and shall I set up my opinion against theirs? |
14139 | The question is asked:"Is there any good about this man?" |
14139 | The servants come rushing up and say:"What''s the matter? |
14139 | The 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?'' |
14139 | The workman looks around to his comrades, and says:"Boys, what do you say to this? |
14139 | The world clapped its hands and stamped its feet in honor of Charles Lamb; but what does he say? |
14139 | Then chariots and horses of fire racing up and down the heavens; then perfect day:"Who is she that cometh forth as the morning?" |
14139 | Then have you forgotten the last half of my text? |
14139 | Then you have a soul, have you? |
14139 | There is n''t anything like the Bible for a dying soldier, is there, my comrade?" |
14139 | There is not enough food in all the village for this crowd; besides that, who has the money to pay for it? |
14139 | There was a gentleman riding by on a horse, and he stopped and said to this corporal,"Why do n''t you help them lift? |
14139 | They come bounding toward me, and I say:"Who are they? |
14139 | They 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?" |
14139 | Though you should be successful in leaving a competency behind you, the trickery of executors may swamp it in a night? |
14139 | To- morrow? |
14139 | To- night? |
14139 | Toward that bridal Jerusalem are our windows opened? |
14139 | WHY ARE SATAN AND SIN PERMITTED? |
14139 | Was it merely coincidental that before the destruction of Jerusalem the moon was eclipsed for twelve consecutive nights? |
14139 | Was n''t it strange?" |
14139 | Was there ever such a convocation of pictures, bronzes, of bric- Ã -brac, of grandeurs, social grandeurs? |
14139 | Well, how could the tender- hearted Paul say that? |
14139 | Were there not enough sick to be attended in these Northern latitudes? |

14139 | What does the world do? |
14139 | What does the world say? |
14139 | What does the world think? |

14139 | What_ is_ the matter?" |
14139 | When is that? |
14139 | When we are attacked, what advantage is there in having a fortress on the other side of the mountain? |

14139 | Where? |
14139 | Which side are you on? |
14139 | Who are this other group standing so near the throne? |
14139 | Who are those bright immortals near the throne, their faces partly turned toward each other as though about to sing? |
14139 | Who are those two gentlemen now going up the front steps? |

14139 | Whose? |
14139 | Why are they drudging at business early and late? |
14139 | Why become a castaway from God when you can sit upon the throne? |
14139 | Why defer this matter, oh, my dear hearer? |
14139 | Why did God command the priests of old to strike the knife into the kid, and the goat, and the pigeon, and the bullock, and the lamb? |

14139 | Why do I say this? |
14139 | Why do the low fellows of the city now stick to him so closely? |

14139 | Why throw away your chance for heaven? |
14139 | Why will ye die miserably when eternal life is offered you, and it will cost you nothing but just willingness to accept it? |
14139 | Why will you live on husks when you may sit down to this white bread of heaven? |
14139 | Why, at the beginning of this service, did you do what you have not done for years-- bow your head in prayer? |
14139 | Why, then, talk of refuge? |
14139 | Why? |
14139 | Why? |
14139 | Why? |
14139 | Will He come? |
14139 | Will it? |
14139 | Will the epidemic sweep Europe and America? |

14139 | Will you be among them? |
14139 | Will you let Him depart? |
14139 | With battering- ram, rolled up by hundred- armed strength, crashing against the walls? |
14139 | Wo n''t you let Me in? |
14139 | Wo n''t you? |
14139 | Would you advise us to come to you, or will you come to us? |
14139 | Would you advise your friends to make the investment? |
14139 | Would you go to Shreveport or Memphis, with the yellow fever there, to get your physical health restored? |
14139 | Would you not like to be free? |
14139 | Would you not like to exchange this awful uncertainty about the future for a glorious assurance of heaven? |
14139 | Would you not like to- day to come up from the swine- feeding and try this religion? |
14139 | You do not tell him that, do you? |
14139 | You have yours; will you sacrifice it? |
14139 | You say that is all imaginary? |
14139 | You say to him:"Loan you money? |
14139 | You say to me,"Did God not create tobacco?" |
14139 | You say to me,"Is not God good?" |
14139 | You say:"Where are you going?" |
14139 | You will go over to the store to- morrow, and your comrades will say:"Where were you yesterday?" |
14139 | You will not take up arms against the Triune God, will you? |
14139 | and must all this audience share one or the other? |
14139 | does not this story of Vashti the queen, Vashti the veiled, Vashti the sacrifice, Vashti the silent, move your soul? |
14139 | in what prayer- meeting do you exhort? |
14139 | is that the Master''s spirit? |
14139 | of France, who was responsible for St. Bartholomew massacre, died? |
14139 | or David Hume, who employed his life as a spider employs its summer, in spinning out silken webs to trap the unwary? |
14139 | or Voltaire, the most learned man of his day, marshaling a great host of skeptics, and leading them out in the dark land of infidelity? |
14139 | or will it go down among the unbelieving, who tried to gain the world and save their souls, but were swindled out of both? |
14139 | that it will evaporate? |
14139 | that it will relax its grasp? |
14139 | that you may find religion as a man accidentally finds a lost pocket- book? |
14139 | to what almshouse do you announce the riches of heaven? |
14139 | to what penitentiary do you declare eternal liberty? |
14139 | were there ever darker times than those? |
14139 | where? |
60107 | Are you going to make your Easter duty? |
60107 | Which of these three,he asked of the lawyer after telling him the story,"was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers?" |
60107 | Who knows,said St. Alphonsus Liguori,"what God requires of me? |
60107 | 24. Who is your master? |
60107 | A corpse? |
60107 | A man enters your house at dead of night and carries off your property; what do you call it? |
60107 | A man meets you on a lonely road and takes your money forcibly from you; what do you call it? |
60107 | A man picks your pocket on the street; what do you call it? |
60107 | A person seems very good, but what is the reason? |
60107 | Again, how about the advice of your_ father_ confessor? |
60107 | All these are various ways of breaking the Seventh Commandment; and what is that? |
60107 | And Jesus answering, said; Were there not ten made clean? |
60107 | And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day? |
60107 | And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee? |
60107 | And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this? |
60107 | And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, ye of little faith? |
60107 | And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts? |
60107 | And answering them, he said: Which of you whose ass or his ox shall fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him out on the Sabbath day? |
60107 | And are not kind words often of more worth than bodily refreshment? |
60107 | And as Jesus looks out on the few who come to his feet, to the Holy Communion, he is forced to exclaim in sorrow:"Were not ten made clean? |
60107 | And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him, and saying: Master, what must I do to possess eternal life? |
60107 | And even setting that aside, is it not possible that those who have studied a subject know more about it than those who have not? |
60107 | And for raiment why are you solicitous? |
60107 | And he asked them: How many loaves have ye? |
60107 | And he called him, and said to him: What is this I hear of thee? |
60107 | And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? |
60107 | And he spoke also to them a similitude: Can the blind lead the blind? |
60107 | And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one satisfy them here with bread in the wilderness? |
60107 | And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? |
60107 | And how have we every one heard our own tongue wherein we were born? |
60107 | And how? |
60107 | And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? |
60107 | And if it be so necessary for parents to watch over the bodies of their children, what shall I say of the duty of watching over their minds and souls? |
60107 | And is it only those who are strangers to him that contradict him? |
60107 | And is not that happiness? |
60107 | And now in every- day life how must we treat our neighbor in order to fulfil the command of Jesus Christ,"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself"? |
60107 | And pride is a lie, a deceit;"for if thou hast received,"says St. Paul,"why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received?" |
60107 | And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them saying: What think you of Christ? |
60107 | And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up? |
60107 | And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship? |
60107 | And then in spiritual things how do we act? |
60107 | And then they say:"Suppose these children get worse and disgrace my name, and even, lose their souls-- what shall I do then?" |
60107 | And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet? |
60107 | And they asked him: What then? |
60107 | And they said one to another: Who shall roll us back the stone from the door of the sepulchre? |
60107 | And they were all amazed and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these who speak, Galileans? |
60107 | And what do I mean by this over- reaching or deceiving? |
60107 | And what does a good shepherd do? |
60107 | And what does that mean? |
60107 | And what happened to them on the road? |
60107 | And what have we done, many of us? |
60107 | And what horrible mutterings are these that we hear coming up from dark corners, from workshops, from factories, from lodging- houses, from streets? |
60107 | And what is penance? |
60107 | And what is the word of God? |
60107 | And what is the world''s joy compared to the joy of paradise? |
60107 | And what sort of a penance? |
60107 | And when he was come near, he asked him, saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee? |
60107 | And who are those who speak in God''s name? |
60107 | And who are_ they?_ you will ask. |
60107 | And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good? |
60107 | And who is its master? |
60107 | And why does it not seem to be a temptation? |
60107 | And why is all this parade? |
60107 | And why not? |
60107 | And why not? |
60107 | And why seest thou the mote in thy brother''s eye, but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not? |
60107 | And why, if he lets it be sown, does he not root out this bad seed, and not let it grow and choke what is good?" |
60107 | And why? |
60107 | And why? |
60107 | And why? |
60107 | And why? |
60107 | And yet must we not confess that too often we do not even make an attempt to practise this virtue? |
60107 | And yet what reason had the Samaritan to consider this man to be his neighbor? |
60107 | And, lastly, you want God to forgive your sins? |
60107 | Are not you of much more value than they? |
60107 | Are there not found some in our own day who imitate the conduct of the Pharisee and his friends? |
60107 | Are they spirits? |
60107 | Are thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? |
60107 | Are we afraid of that? |
60107 | Are we all going this way? |
60107 | Are we in sorrow? |
60107 | Are we tempted? |
60107 | Are you afflicted with incurable illness? |
60107 | Are you going to church or for a walk? |
60107 | Are you humiliated? |
60107 | Are you in a fit state to appear there? |
60107 | Are you in business, or at work? |
60107 | Are you in temptation and danger of losing God? |
60107 | Are you in the fever of sin? |
60107 | Are you punished by cold and hunger? |
60107 | Are you ready_ now_, at this moment, to die? |
60107 | Are you rich? |
60107 | Are you sensible of the responsibility which lies upon you to see that the priest is sent for, especially when they are in danger of death? |
60107 | Are you so sensitive about your neighbor''s faults because they offend God? |
60107 | Are you so sensitive about your neighbor''s faults, then, because they offend yourself? |
60107 | Are you very particular to keep the laws of_ mother_ church? |
60107 | Are you weary after your day''s labor? |
60107 | Art thou Elias? |
60107 | Art thou the prophet? |
60107 | As much as you want to take? |
60107 | At that time: Jesus said to his disciples: I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: Whither goest thou? |
60107 | At that time: Jesus said to the multitude of the Jews: Which of you shall convince me of sin? |
60107 | At that time: The Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and levites to John, to ask him: Who art thou? |
60107 | Be not solicitous therefore, saying: What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed? |
60107 | Because they would rather not be bothered? |
60107 | Brethren: Know you not that they who run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize? |
60107 | But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites? |
60107 | But are those who stay outside of the one fold in the way to use this sufficient grace? |
60107 | But are we merely to admire it in them, or have we too a share in it? |
60107 | But do they all mean just what I have said_ he_ meant? |
60107 | But do you dare to say this? |
60107 | But does St. Peter mean that we actually must always obey every one, man, woman, or child, who chooses to command us? |
60107 | But from what do these men of whom our Lord speaks in this parable wish to be excused? |
60107 | But have you followed the example of the one grateful leper-- have you gone back to thank him? |
60107 | But he answering one of them, said: Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst thou not agree with me for a penny? |
60107 | But he said to him: What is written in the law? |
60107 | But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbor? |
60107 | But how is it in fact? |
60107 | But how shall we tell that it does exceed its rights? |
60107 | But in thus covering the sins of others how does charity cover our own? |
60107 | But is it certain that those whom they are tempted to envy are, in reality, in so much better a state? |
60107 | But is it honored among Christians according to its dignity? |
60107 | But the men wondered, saying: Who is this, for even the winds and the sea obey him? |
60107 | But what do such excuses denote? |
60107 | But what do we see? |
60107 | But what do we see? |
60107 | But what does our Divine Lord say of those who now refuse his invitation to this heavenly banquet? |
60107 | But what is the fault? |
60107 | But what is the need of having so many of them? |
60107 | But what kind of Christians must we think ourselves since we all hate to suffer? |
60107 | But what riches of injustice has he gained? |
60107 | But what saith the Scripture? |
60107 | But what should you be swift to hear? |
60107 | But what went you out to see? |
60107 | But what went you out to see? |
60107 | But why did not our Lord let him know it? |
60107 | But why did not our Lord suffer enough to free us from suffering at all? |
60107 | But why is this? |
60107 | But you will say, perhaps:"I do not need St. Joseph''s help so much, for I have Our Blessed Lady to go to; is not she more powerful even than he is?" |
60107 | But, after all, are you not perhaps guilty of a little of the same sin yourselves? |
60107 | By despising it? |
60107 | Can we ever by our words bring others into the church? |
60107 | Catholic heads of families, employers, masters and mistresses, keepers of stores and workshops, how do you look after those that work for you? |
60107 | Christian, Catholic? |
60107 | Could you possibly ask anything more? |
60107 | Did he not promise a reward for even a cup of cold water? |
60107 | Did not the devil know that he was God and could not sin? |
60107 | Did you ever know any such case whose repentance you thought was worthy of such celestial rejoicings? |
60107 | Did you ever spend an hour looking at the drives in Central Park on a pleasant afternoon? |
60107 | Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? |
60107 | Do n''t you see the church looking down with eyes of mercy upon you? |
60107 | Do n''t you sometimes envy the rich, get discontented with your position, feel rebellious against the will of God? |
60107 | Do n''t you think if we tried that plan that the numbers on the men''s side would often be rather slim? |
60107 | Do not our own sins, little or great, continually cry out for penance? |
60107 | Do our sins terrify us? |
60107 | Do people get all they pray for? |
60107 | Do we need strength for the battle of life, and courage in the struggle against the world, the flesh, and the devil? |
60107 | Do we want to be where Jesus is now, and where he will be for all eternity? |
60107 | Do you correct your children when they engage in such talk? |
60107 | Do you doubt this? |
60107 | Do you get the doctor? |
60107 | Do you give them time to get to confession? |
60107 | Do you know what the word"tempt"means, my brethren? |
60107 | Do you know what they are? |
60107 | Do you look after the moral conduct of those you employ? |
60107 | Do you not give back as good-- and often worse-- than you get? |
60107 | Do you not see the cap gradually taking a form that will fit some of your heads? |
60107 | Do you offer them such nourishment as a sick person needs? |
60107 | Do you raise your voice in his defence? |
60107 | Do you see that they go to Mass? |
60107 | Do you see upon your souls great livid plague- spots of mortal offences against the Almighty? |
60107 | Do you think they will ever be full of wisdom or have the grace of God in their hearts? |
60107 | Do you turn out of your house those notorious backbiters and tale- bearers of your neighborhood when they begin their poisonous gossip? |
60107 | Do you visit your servant''s sick- bed, or the beds of the poor, to whom we are all indebted for so much service? |
60107 | Do you want to win and save those who have sinned against you? |
60107 | Do you wish, dear brethren, to make sure of not being deceived by these wolves in sheep''s clothing? |
60107 | Do you? |
60107 | Does St. Peter mean, then, that we must be willing to obey every human creature, every man, woman, or child that undertakes to command us? |
60107 | Does he pretend that the holy sacrament of matrimony is keeping him away? |
60107 | Does his grace move them to some sacrifice of their pride, their convenience, or their means? |
60107 | Does it mean that a good intention in itself is a thing which leads to hell? |
60107 | Does our Lord really mean all he says? |
60107 | Does your heart burn with sympathy for him? |
60107 | Drink? |
60107 | Explain the solar system to a child of five years: will he understand you? |
60107 | Fast- days-- do you know what that means? |
60107 | Fervent gratitude would now exclaim:"Surely no Catholic can do any of these to Jesus Christ?" |
60107 | For instance, somebody tells something about you which you know to be false; do you put the best construction on this? |
60107 | For what is it to be exalted in the true sense of the word? |
60107 | For what was it which we celebrated then, and what is it which we are celebrating now? |
60107 | For who hath known the mind of the Lord? |
60107 | God has called you often before; now, by the voice of his priest, he speaks once more and says:"Why stand ye here all the day idle?" |
60107 | God may well say to such a one:"Thou fool, who has told thee that? |
60107 | Grace of God? |
60107 | Had you the gold of Christian charity to present? |
60107 | Had you the incense of faith and the myrrh of sweet and fragrant hope? |
60107 | Have I a right to participate in the Easter joy of to- day, or am I only making an outside show of it, while my conscience tells me I am a hypocrite? |
60107 | Have I kept the commandments of God and of the church? |
60107 | Have I made my Easter duty, or resolved to make it? |
60107 | Have they wings like the angels we saw years ago in the picture- book? |
60107 | Have you been negligent? |
60107 | Have you done this? |
60107 | Have you followed it? |
60107 | Have you neglected the sacraments? |
60107 | Have you neglected your children? |
60107 | Have you never, when you accused yourself of some sin, said that you could not help it? |
60107 | Have you not listened to indecent stories? |
60107 | Have you not often aped the manners and swagger of the worldly- minded? |
60107 | Have you not told some such? |
60107 | He will ask:"How are you? |
60107 | His friend, curious to see what he would say, said:"No; what is it?" |
60107 | How about fasting and abstinence? |
60107 | How are we baptized in Christ''s death? |
60107 | How are you in God''s sight? |
60107 | How are you, baptized of God? |
60107 | How can such an one ever kiss the crucifix? |
60107 | How can we account for this? |
60107 | How dare to press those lips there represented, from which blessings were always returned for cursing? |
60107 | How do I know? |
60107 | How do we hear his voice of truth, which can not deceive nor be deceived? |
60107 | How do you act in that case? |
60107 | How do you do? |
60107 | How does charity cover a multitude of sins? |
60107 | How is it that we are so deaf and dumb in his presence? |
60107 | How is it that we find Catholics denying their faith and going to a Protestant place of worship for the sake of a little food and clothing? |
60107 | How is it we hear of milk- and- water Catholics going to be married before magistrates, or, what is worse, before ministers of a false religion? |
60107 | How is it with us? |
60107 | How is your health, the health of your soul? |
60107 | How many are there who reverence this sacrament as they should? |
60107 | How many more years will you slink away from your Easter duty like cowards and cravens? |
60107 | How much, then? |
60107 | How often they say:"I have no time";"What are the priests for, anyhow?" |
60107 | How shall we escape this terrible penalty? |
60107 | How shall you make it? |
60107 | How will he come back to us? |
60107 | How, then, shall we account for our not hearing his voice, and not being able to say anything worth his hearing, when we set out to pray? |
60107 | How? |
60107 | How? |
60107 | I ask you, here in the sacred presence of God, I ask you in the most solemn manner, when and how will you look upon his face again? |
60107 | I do not think the same about that as the priests do; they are welcome to their opinion but I claim the right to mine"? |
60107 | If David then call him Lord, how is he his son? |
60107 | If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me? |
60107 | If that does not mean economy, what does it mean? |
60107 | If we will not do this, if we will distract ourselves needlessly out of the time of prayer, what wonder if we are distracted in it? |
60107 | In such circumstances what is generally your conduct? |
60107 | In what state were you last night when devout hands veiled the figure of Christ? |
60107 | Is each one of us now here present moving daily and hourly on this path? |
60107 | Is it a mere confession that we are sinners? |
60107 | Is it because it really has no explanation? |
60107 | Is it from something painful and humiliating? |
60107 | Is it lawful to give tribute to CÃ ¦ sar, or not? |
60107 | Is it not as easy to suffer a little for the honor of God as a great deal for one''s own? |
60107 | Is it not because parents are neglectful? |
60107 | Is it not because people wo n''t go into the vineyard, wo n''t work, wo n''t take trouble? |
60107 | Is it so with us? |
60107 | Is it so with you who are poor? |
60107 | Is it, then, really true that God will give us all good things which we ask in prayer? |
60107 | Is not the life more than the food, and the body more than the raiment? |
60107 | Is not this a shame? |
60107 | Is that all? |
60107 | Is that so? |
60107 | Is their modesty known to all men? |
60107 | Is this the case? |
60107 | Is your soul really free? |
60107 | It is always worth while to try praying for anything that is not in itself bad; we may be able to get Christ''s name for it, who knows? |
60107 | It is death; and if God himself did not tell us, how could we know but that it is the end of all? |
60107 | It is not much, then, is it, to eat fish instead of meat, to fast enough to have a good appetite, to lose a little sleep and get a little tired? |
60107 | It would appear to belong partly to CÃ ¦ sar; and who can this CÃ ¦ sar be, who shares the earth with its Creator? |
60107 | Let, then, these two questions ring in your ears: Where are you going? |
60107 | My brethren, can this be possible? |
60107 | My friends, does not the shoe pinch you a little? |
60107 | Now if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to- day is, and to- morrow is cast into the oven: how much more you, ye of little faith? |
60107 | Now if I cast out devils in Beelzebub, in whom do your children cast them out? |
60107 | Now, do you correct them_ in the beginning?_ Ah! |
60107 | Now, then, you"children of an older growth,"how have you shown your obedience? |
60107 | Now, what do I mean by worrying? |
60107 | Now, what does all this come from? |
60107 | Now, who are they? |
60107 | Now, who is to form them after the model of Jesus Christ? |
60107 | Now, why does your soul thus cling to the dead past; why does it strive to fly to the unborn future? |
60107 | Once a year? |
60107 | Or perhaps they say:"What shall I do now?" |
60107 | Or what woman having ten groats, if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle and sweep the house and seek diligently until she find it? |
60107 | Or who hath been his counsellor? |
60107 | Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made to him? |
60107 | Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? |
60107 | Our Saviour did, indeed, by his coming make salvation easier; but how was it that he did so? |
60107 | Over whom, then, are we going to be victorious? |
60107 | Say, when he is uncovered on Good Friday can you, dare you add to his grief by still being what you are now? |
60107 | Shall God not be jealous of his name? |
60107 | Shall he not punish? |
60107 | Such persons say, as Satan did of old,"Does Job serve God for naught?" |
60107 | Suppose I say to one of you:"If you ask Mr. So- and so for such a position or employment in my name you will get it,"what do I mean? |
60107 | That is just the trouble with the heretics of whom I have spoken; is it not so with you, too, perhaps? |
60107 | That is,"Which of the three seems to have considered the poor fellow to be his neighbor?" |
60107 | The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? |
60107 | The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? |
60107 | The church has, it is true, allowed, as the notices say, a moderate collation in the evening What does that mean? |
60107 | The grocery- keeper, the butcher, the baker could do it, and why not the liquor- seller? |
60107 | The question is: has the church power from God to command me, and what does the church command? |
60107 | The yellow fever, you will hear, has appeared in some Southern town, and what has been the result? |
60107 | Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? |
60107 | Then the servants of the master of the house came and said to him: Master, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? |
60107 | Then why did you not see that they went to confession, to Mass, to Holy Communion? |
60107 | Therefore calling together every one of his lord''s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord? |
60107 | They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? |
60107 | They said therefore: What is this that he saith, a little while? |
60107 | They say: Why should the church interfere between my wife and me, or between my children and myself? |
60107 | They say:"What have I done that these children of mine are so bad?" |
60107 | This seems strong language; but do we not deserve it if we take from our Lord the little that he claims as his own? |

60267 | And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts? |
60267 | And answering them, he said: Which of you whose ass or his ox shall fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him out on the Sabbath day? |
60267 | And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him, and saying: Master, what must I do to possess eternal life? |

60267 | Are not you of much more value than they? |
60267 | Are our souls asleep? |
60267 | Are the laws of the church irksome to you and so avoided? |
60267 | Are the sacraments she offers you the source and support of your life? |

60267 | Are there no gems of divine grace with which it may be decked out as a bride waiting for the bridegroom? |
60267 | Are they in any way improper, or such that you would be ashamed to have them repeated in the presence of your parents? |

60267 | Are they not doing an injury to her Son by over- honoring his Mother? |
60267 | Are they not men, and are they not purchased by the Blood of Christ? |
60267 | Are we always trying to give him no more than we can help, and keep as much as we can for ourselves? |
60267 | Are we better, more perfect, nearer to God now than we were last year, or even ten years ago? |
60267 | Are we careless or indifferent about the one thing needful for us-- our soul''s salvation? |

60267 | Are you sick? |
60267 | Are you tempted? |
60267 | Are you tired out? |
60267 | Are you, my friends, willing to take that trouble for your soul''s sake, or do you prefer to fall as you have fallen before? |
60267 | Art thou Elias? |
60267 | Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead? |
60267 | Art thou the prophet? |
60267 | As St. Paul says,"If God be for us, who is against us? |
60267 | As we do see this, are we not bound to keep in check,_ at all costs_, this source of evil? |
60267 | As we look back on our lives, do we find that this has actually been fulfilled in them? |
60267 | As you sit here to- day, do the words of the Apostle offer no rebuke to you, do you not feel their sting? |

60267 | Brethren, has it ever occurred to you that each one of us has a vocation in this life? |
60267 | Brethren, shall I say a word about gratitude due to us of the sanctuary? |
60267 | Brethren: Know you not that they who run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize? |
60267 | But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites? |
60267 | But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle? |
60267 | But again: what does a man do who takes the pledge? |
60267 | But as the newness, the freshness of the Easter joy and triumph passes away, does not another feeling come and mingle with it? |
60267 | But do you wish me to tell you the easiest way to be sober? |
60267 | But have not you had a pretty good chance for these amusements for the last few months? |
60267 | But have you done so? |
60267 | But he answered:"Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith?" |
60267 | But he answering one of them, said: Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst thou not agree with me for a penny? |
60267 | But he said to him: What is written in the law? |
60267 | But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbor? |
60267 | But how are they to be made? |
60267 | But how can this be? |
60267 | But how can we do it? |
60267 | But how can we do this? |
60267 | But how is the Holy Ghost in the Catholic Church? |
60267 | But how is this leaven, or yeast? |
60267 | But how many of the thousands who made these promises have kept them? |
60267 | But how shall we best do so? |
60267 | But how will it be in fact; how is it too often, after such times of grace and fervor? |
60267 | But may we not turn the question around and learn another good lesson from it? |
60267 | But of what do the majority of men most readily converse? |
60267 | But once more: what does a man do who takes the pledge? |
60267 | But somebody might say: Father, ca n''t you tell us something to make the morning prayers easy? |
60267 | But suppose he does not die immediately after baptism, how is it with him then? |
60267 | But the men wondered, saying: Who is this, for even the winds and the sea obey him? |
60267 | But was this way of growing only meant for God''s church in the beginning? |
60267 | But what are the sins of the tongue we most often hear? |
60267 | But what does the word"mortify"mean? |
60267 | But what is our sanctification? |
60267 | But what saith the Scripture? |
60267 | But what shall obtain for us at that last moment the faith, hope, and charity which we need? |
60267 | But what that glory is who shall tell? |
60267 | But what was their mistake? |
60267 | But what went you out to see? |
60267 | But what went you out to see? |
60267 | But what, therefore, is the first thought that must enter our hearts? |
60267 | But who among you can face, without flinching, the tears of so good a friend as our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ? |
60267 | But why do we ask ourselves these questions? |
60267 | But why do we select the Heart of our Lord, or rather why has he himself selected it, as a special object of our adoration? |
60267 | But why should we not speak of it often? |
60267 | But, my dear brethren, mid all these rejoicings may there not be some poor soul among us who does not participate in the joys of Easter time? |
60267 | But, then, who, except indeed the fisherman, wants you to eat fish? |
60267 | But, you ask again, is he a human person also? |
60267 | But, you say, what about a purpose of amendment? |
60267 | Can any one be a mother and not be mother of a person? |
60267 | Can he, however, demand this permission to enter heaven immediately after his death if he has committed only venial sin? |
60267 | Can we kill them? |
60267 | Can we tell what the result will be? |
60267 | Could God be long in our hearts and we be altogether ignorant of it? |
60267 | Dear brethren, shall we be slow to go to him who comes with healing for our immortal souls? |
60267 | Did you never notice that pride and hardness of heart go together? |
60267 | Do I exaggerate? |
60267 | Do I furnish them proper reading matter, or do I allow them to waste their time and ruin their souls with the vile penny literature of the day? |
60267 | Do I make my home pleasant and agreeable for my children? |
60267 | Do I supply them with suitable home amusements? |
60267 | Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? |
60267 | Do not sinners rest quite secure in their wickedness just because they believe in the true religion? |
60267 | Do our conversations, like theirs, contain nothing reprehensible? |
60267 | Do they not feel sure of salvation because they know how to be saved? |
60267 | Do we care, as it is, to be near Jesus? |
60267 | Do we even care for his presence by grace in our souls, which they always had in its fulness, and never dimmed by the shadow of sin? |
60267 | Do we not know by observation and experience that where the wrath of God sets apart a single victim his tender love wins over a thousand? |
60267 | Do we not make rather too much fuss and complaint over what is not really such a very great penance? |
60267 | Do we not owe them much? |
60267 | Do we not receive in our baptism, as infants, the grace that destroys original sin? |
60267 | Do we owe_ them_ nothing? |
60267 | Do we try to have our own way as much as possible, and never to step out of it for his sake, unless compelled by force or threats? |
60267 | Do you covet that happiness? |
60267 | Do you fairly understand it? |
60267 | Do you not see that this exhibition of mercy in the Judge only renders the justice of the sentence more evident to you and more dreadful? |
60267 | Do you take in its full meaning and application? |
60267 | Do you think that such a loving Father would teach us, his children, A B C except with the set purpose of going clean through to X Y Z? |
60267 | Do you trust to your knowledge of spiritual things and your pious talk? |
60267 | Do you want to die as you are living? |
60267 | Do you want to know how she is able to do this? |
60267 | Do you wish that your name, too, should be written in the book of life? |
60267 | Does God give more of this world''s goods to one man than to another because he loves one more than another? |
60267 | Does any one want to be God- like? |
60267 | Does it, then, still move the world in this way? |
60267 | Does not God forgive us also our mortal sins, giving us time to repent, and even waiting patiently for our repentance? |
60267 | Does not St. John also make it the test of our salvation? |
60267 | Does not that dwell specially on the future? |
60267 | Does not the Psalmist say that God''s mercy"is above all his works"? |
60267 | Does she feel quite certain that she may not be subjected to insult or worse? |
60267 | Fathers, are you solicitous for the little household which Almighty God himself has so fondly entrusted to your care? |
60267 | For if one does not love God enough to offend bad men for his sake, how can he love him above all things? |
60267 | For is not your church named for St. Paul? |
60267 | For what is a grace? |
60267 | For what is it that is meant, perhaps, by that? |
60267 | For what is it to love any one; how do we act towards one whom we really and truly love? |
60267 | For what is this which is called flirting? |
60267 | For who hath known the mind of the Lord? |
60267 | Forgiving one another, as they say the Lord has forgiven them? |
60267 | From how many shameful falls have you not been raised up? |
60267 | Had he no special purpose in this? |
60267 | Had they not shown enough love and care for him? |
60267 | Had they proved themselves unworthy of him? |
60267 | Has it ever been so? |
60267 | Have our consciences been lulled into a false security concerning the state of our immortal souls? |
60267 | Have they never had a favor done them? |
60267 | Have we thanked him for all these? |
60267 | Have you at heart the interests of God''s holy church; are her sorrows, her wants, her trials yours? |
60267 | Have you been guilty of soul- murder? |
60267 | Have you ever been very sick? |
60267 | Have you ever pondered over these beautiful words, and made them the subject of your meditation? |
60267 | Have you ever tried to find out their true meaning, and thus make them profitable to your souls? |
60267 | Have you not bowed down to idols of clay when you have steeped yourselves in drunkenness, in impurities, in the many sins of the flesh? |
60267 | Have you not bowed down when you chose to gratify your lower instincts at the cost of your spiritual ruin? |
60267 | Have you not heard of a sudden and unprovided death and then remembered how years ago that man started a disreputable business? |
60267 | Have you washed your past life clean from sin by this Easter duty? |
60267 | Have your virtuous lives and edifying example brought home the truths and beauties of the Catholic faith to those outside the church? |
60267 | He commands us to hope; but in what shall our hope be placed? |
60267 | He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also with him given us all things?" |
60267 | How about the practice of it? |
60267 | How am I walking in the vocation in which I am called? |
60267 | How can a young girl know the character of him with whom she is dancing? |
60267 | How can any one seriously attempt what he believes to be impossible? |
60267 | How can it be explained? |
60267 | How can you ask such a question? |
60267 | How can you sleep a moment or be at rest a single instant longer while knowing you are condemned already, because you have not made your Easter duty? |
60267 | How could he regret what none knew so well as he was to be a punishment all too light for the crimes of the Jews? |
60267 | How could it be otherwise? |
60267 | How could our Saviour weep over a downfall so well deserved? |
60267 | How did it happen, people sometimes ask concerning this or that person, that she did not marry? |
60267 | How do we act then? |
60267 | How do we lose the light of faith which he gives? |
60267 | How does he treat me, notwithstanding my many, many sins? |
60267 | How have we done this in the past? |
60267 | How is it that we harden our hearts? |
60267 | How is it with us? |
60267 | How is it, then, that man finds himself in his actual condition? |
60267 | How is this? |
60267 | How is this? |
60267 | How many are there who, when they examine their conscience, ever think of questioning themselves upon the duties of their position in life? |
60267 | How many business- men question themselves as to the honesty or propriety of this or that mode of action they have been following? |
60267 | How many graces and blessings do you not owe to that crucified Lord? |
60267 | How many of those who were not leading a Christian life before the mission are now doing so? |
60267 | How will that countenance look to us at that moment? |
60267 | How will those ears listen to our reports of our own lives? |
60267 | How will those lips speak to us in that dread moment? |
60267 | How would I feel if I were spoken of in this manner? |
60267 | How, then, are they to have the truth brought home to them? |
60267 | How, then, can we best practise this forgiveness which is so necessary for us? |
60267 | How, then, can we expect to comprehend the nature and the inner life of God? |
60267 | How, then, will the bearing of others burdens help us to serve God better? |
60267 | I answer by a comparison: Why do men plant and then reap a field of wheat? |
60267 | I say, why has he himself selected it? |
60267 | If David then called him Lord, how is he his son? |
60267 | If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me? |
60267 | If all that we are and have is from God, by him and in him, how can we set ourselves apart from him, or claim anything for ourselves against him? |
60267 | If so, do I discharge the duties of my calling? |
60267 | If so, why do we not seek it more? |
60267 | If we know that we are in danger, and that we can escape from it, but only by God''s help, why does not that help come and save us? |
60267 | If you can not make him better, what is the sense of making him miserable? |
60267 | In how many bitter sorrows have you not been comforted? |
60267 | In how many sore temptations have you not been defended and strengthened? |
60267 | In order to be a sincere Christian, what has a man to do? |
60267 | In such a case as this is it true that even then all will be just as if the sin had never been committed? |
60267 | In the first place, then, we will ask, What is the nature of the worship which we render to the Sacred Heart of Jesus? |
60267 | In the words of St. Paul, are we not continually biting and devouring one another? |
60267 | In what way may these duller and obtuser minds learn to appreciate these higher things? |
60267 | Indeed? |
60267 | Is everyone who comes near a Catholic girl or woman conscious of this influence? |
60267 | Is he not personally her son? |
60267 | Is his presence in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar a consolation to us? |
60267 | Is it because Christ our Lord has come to save us from sin and eternal ruin? |
60267 | Is it freedom from conflict? |
60267 | Is it not merely to make up your mind to confess your sins and to keep for a few days as you ought to be, and then be pretty much as you were before? |
60267 | Is it not our first duty to love God so strongly that we prefer him to all things else, even our nearest relatives? |
60267 | Is it not the best praise of an individual that he is prosperous, and of a nation that it is wealthy? |
60267 | Is it possible that one of their Apostles told them to do that? |
60267 | Is it that a Protestant minister is an immoral or vicious character, with whom we should have nothing to do? |
60267 | Is it the virtues of your neighbors that are spoken of and recounted for your own edification and your children''s imitation? |
60267 | Is it the way we consider God''s service? |
60267 | Is n''t that enough? |
60267 | Is not the blessed privilege of the holy faith the secret reason of many a person''s delay of repentance? |
60267 | Is not the life more than the food, and the body more than the raiment? |
60267 | Is not the love of God the end of all religion? |
60267 | Is not the love of God the one absorbing duty of our lives? |
60267 | Is not the love of our neighbor the second great commandment, like to and founded on the first? |
60267 | Is not the possession of riches deemed the most enviable happiness? |
60267 | Is not this the most anxious inquiry, How shall I get rich? |
60267 | Is she not engaged in a dance which borders on immodesty? |
60267 | Is she not the Mother of our Lord, personally his Mother? |
60267 | Is she satisfied that her mother would be pleased to see her with her present companions? |
60267 | Is the Christian to have no battle to fight, no enemy to overcome? |
60267 | Is the desire for freedom, which is implanted in us, all a delusion? |
60267 | Is the kingdom of heaven of which he was speaking that heaven into which all the saved are to enter? |
60267 | Is there a time in our lives when that debt is not binding? |
60267 | Is there any poor little cripple in the family? |
60267 | Is there no special significance in his choice of those words? |
60267 | Is there not a mystery here? |
60267 | Is this the way we act? |
60267 | It is a mistake, and why? |
60267 | It is necessarily this: How will that Man receive us when we are called into his presence, one by one, as we leave this world? |
60267 | It is this:"What am I here for? |
60267 | It is, How is the baby this morning? |
60267 | It might be asked, dear brethren, what need God has of_ our_ testimony, or why the creature should act the part of witness for the Creator? |
60267 | Let me ask, however, what kind of sorrow have you? |
60267 | Let us see how this is; how is this love going to work to keep us in the safe and sure track? |
60267 | Mothers, do you strive to make yourselves patterns of the Christian virtues of gentleness and forbearance? |
60267 | Need I mention them? |
60267 | Now do you not see why our Lord, his Apostles, and his church made so much of the love of one''s neighbor? |
60267 | Now if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to- day is, and to- morrow is cast into the oven: how much more you, ye of little faith? |
60267 | Now what can be the reason of the failure of these good people in prayer? |
60267 | Now, I say this is very beautiful, is it not? |
60267 | Now, brethren, what is there in the spiritual life that answers to good clothes? |
60267 | Now, how does all this apply to us? |
60267 | Now, how is it in fact? |
60267 | Now, in view of what I have said, ask yourselves, is this way of acting the mark of all Catholics? |
60267 | Now, is such our religion? |
60267 | Now, what does our Lord say of those who thus put temptation in the way of the young and innocent? |
60267 | Now, what is exactly this precept of the Easter duty? |
60267 | Now, what is the faith in hell? |
60267 | Now, what is the reason of all this sad want of perseverance? |
60267 | Now, what is the reason of this contemptible sneaking and meanness in those who ought to be brave and generous soldiers of Christ? |
60267 | Now, what is this that we should love; what is our treasure in heaven? |
60267 | Now, who has done so much for us as our parents? |
60267 | Now, why has the church, by selecting the account of the Transfiguration at this season, turned our thoughts to what seems so inappropriate a subject? |
60267 | Now, why not try to follow this line? |
60267 | One should get leave to do so, of course; but if you have no sin on your conscience, what is easier than to say so to the priest? |
60267 | Or am I a business- man who deals squarely and honestly with my neighbors, never on the alert to take advantage of the ignorant and weak? |
60267 | Or am I just to men who work for me? |
60267 | Or are you standing afar off ready to give an approving nod when the world smiles, or slink off like a coward when the world frowns? |
60267 | Or is there not some other meaning which we may give to the words? |
60267 | Or what woman having ten groats, if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle and sweep the house and seek diligently until she find it? |
60267 | Or who hath been his counsellor? |
60267 | Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made to him? |
60267 | Or, if he can make such an arrangement, why should he not work for one in the morning, and another in the afternoon? |
60267 | Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will? |
60267 | Other people have comfort; why should not they? |
60267 | Ought it to be such a great penance for a Christian to come and spend a little while in the presence of Him with whom he hopes to dwell for ever? |
60267 | Ought not each one of us strive to get ourselves into that blessed state? |
60267 | Peace, then, we should have in our spiritual combat; but how in the battle for our temporal life? |
60267 | Shall a man do less for God than for himself? |
60267 | Shall a man not do as much for the good of his soul and for eternal life in the next world? |
60267 | Shall we not take a little trouble when such tremendous interests are at stake? |
60267 | Shall we simply take our trouble because we can not help it, and fret as little as we can, because fretting only makes it worse? |
60267 | Shall we trust to luck when a little effort will make heaven sure? |
60267 | She has been introduced, to be sure, but what of that? |
60267 | Since, then, this our mission is so important, brethren, how are we to fulfil it? |
60267 | So we may learn, perhaps, another lesson from the question in the Gospel by reversing it and asking,"Who is not my neighbor?" |
60267 | Such a one is well described by our Blessed Lord as"a whited sepulchre? |
60267 | Such do not really try to avoid it; how can they? |
60267 | Sup- pose you had a habit of spitting on your neighbor''s face or clothes by preference to any other place, how long would he endure it? |
60267 | Suppose our Lord should suddenly quit the sacramental form of the host and ask a communicant at the altar- rail,"What do you wish for?" |
60267 | Tell us, therefore, what dost thou think, Is it lawful to give tribute to CÃ ¦ sar, or not? |
60267 | That is plain enough, is it not? |
60267 | The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? |
60267 | The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him: Do we not say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? |
60267 | The publicans who were farthest from God came and asked:"Master, what shall we do?" |
60267 | The thought of heaven was the joy and strength of the martyrs; why should it not be the constant support of ordinary Christians, too? |
60267 | Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe? |
60267 | Then the servants of the master of the house came and said to him: Master, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field? |
60267 | There is, however, a sanctification that we ought to expect from this Lent, and what is it? |
60267 | Therefore calling together every one of his lord''s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord? |
60267 | They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us? |
60267 | They set out to do as they pleased, and how has it ended? |
60267 | This is the example he has left us that we should follow his steps; shall we refuse to profit by it? |
60267 | This is whom we have when we have Christ, and should we not rejoice at having such a one? |
60267 | To another he says: What are you doing there, you who are so fault- finding and overbearing? |
60267 | To lose that, had it been possible, would have been a thousand deaths to them; what is it to us? |
60267 | Very well; was that adding anything to the Christian faith? |
60267 | Was it because he was like a reed shaken by the wind? |
60267 | Was it that they never expected it to be otherwise? |
60267 | Was it that those who made their confessions then were not sincere; that they made promises which they did not really expect to keep? |
60267 | Was the law then against the promises of God? |
60267 | We believe his word, we are in his true church, we receive his saving and life- giving sacraments; how, then, shall we not be saved? |
60267 | We revere that real Presence of our Lord, but do we love it? |
60267 | Well, the witch- hazel of the Christian soul is just this question: How much confidence have you in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ for you? |
60267 | Well, then, what is the matter? |
60267 | Were they altogether wrong in wishing for liberty? |
60267 | What are the topics most commonly treated of in your Christian homes? |
60267 | What are the trials of the church now compared to those at the very beginning? |
60267 | What are these white lies? |
60267 | What but the grace of God, with, which our souls should be provided, and without which they are in the state of mortal sin? |
60267 | What could our Lord have meant when he said that the two were alike? |
60267 | What do I mean by a tolerably good Christian? |
60267 | What do they believe, and what do they teach? |
60267 | What do you think of persons who actually make a living in selling journals which are but the pictured proceedings of the police courts? |
60267 | What does a man do when he takes the pledge? |
60267 | What does he do? |
60267 | What does the Apostle mean by this? |
60267 | What else is that wonder of the world called the faith of Catholics? |
60267 | What fruit therefore had you then in those things, of which you are now ashamed? |
60267 | What is it that gives to many such that singular taste for and perception of what is pure, beautiful, and true, which they unmistakably possess? |
60267 | What is it to follow God? |
60267 | What is more edifying than the virtue of a good father? |
60267 | What is that, among all religious practices, which he would have us do as a token of inner and outer reverence? |
60267 | What is the best way? |
60267 | What is the goal to which it is tending? |
60267 | What is the reason, the doctrine, of the Catholic''s devotion to Mary? |
60267 | What is the spirit? |
60267 | What is to be thought of those who act in this way? |
60267 | What is, then, the harm exactly of going to a Protestant minister to get married? |
60267 | What lesson can_ we_ learn from these events? |
60267 | What more could I have done for my vineyard which I have not done? |
60267 | What must the murderers of little children expect? |
60267 | What one of us but has his daily task-- his allotted work? |
60267 | What parched his tongue with such burning thirst? |
60267 | What peace can we have while its issue is still uncertain, its events yet unknown? |
60267 | What platted the crown of thorns, and drove those sharp spikes deep into his sacred head? |
60267 | What pointed the spear of the impious Roman soldier, and hurled it deep into the Sacred Heart, whence issued the red torrent of the Precious Blood? |
60267 | What sent those nails through his hands and feet, fixing them to the tree of shame? |
60267 | What was his special motive in this extraordinary course of penance? |
60267 | What was the reason that they did not persevere? |
60267 | What was this difficulty? |
60267 | What way is there of spreading the light? |
60267 | What were those things which he had yet to say to them, but which they could not then bear? |
60267 | What would you have me do?" |
60267 | What, in short, is more common than detraction, and even slander? |
60267 | What, then, are these laws? |
60267 | What, then, does the Catholic faith teach us about her? |
60267 | What, then, have we to fear if we will only keep close to him? |
60267 | What, then, is human about him? |
60267 | What, then, is it? |
60267 | What, then, is the nature of our worship of the Sacred Heart? |
60267 | What, then, must we do? |
60267 | When may we hope that the promise of our Lord will be fulfilled and labor shall be crowned with success? |
60267 | When we have anything to do, we must say, Would God do this way or that way? |
60267 | When, therefore, we see this great goodness of our Lord towards us, how can we be so heedless of our own good as to turn away from him? |
60267 | Where do they get money to buy them? |
60267 | Where is he, that we may find him? |
60267 | Where or in what but his mercy? |
60267 | Where, then, is our peace in this inevitable war, this contest which demands all the energies of our body and soul? |
60267 | Where, then, is the purpose of amendment? |
60267 | Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? |
60267 | Which of these three in thy opinion was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers? |
60267 | Which of us, dear brethren, is without his burden or his care? |
60267 | Which of you shall convince me of sin? |
60267 | Which of_ you_, my brethren? |
60267 | Which one of the children is best loved by the father and mother? |
60267 | Who are these people whom he would find fault with? |
60267 | Who are these? |
60267 | Who can count himself safe so much as one day from his own natural feebleness, or from the wiles of Satan, or from human respect? |
60267 | Who dare say that he has nothing to fear from the judgments of God? |
60267 | Who in our day are like Herod? |
60267 | Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God? |
60267 | Who is it that prepares the Supper, they or the Lord? |
60267 | Who is scandalized, and I do not burn? |
60267 | Who is weak, and I am not weak? |
60267 | Who will help us to persevere when the enemies of our salvation are making the most of their last chance to snatch it from us? |
60267 | Whom dost thou make thyself? |
60267 | Whose money pays for it? |
60267 | Whose son is he? |
60267 | Why can we not leave judgment to God, and treat poor sinners after our Lord''s example, praying and suffering for them? |
60267 | Why did she not marry? |
60267 | Why did you think so much of him? |
60267 | Why do Catholics pay so much honor to the Virgin Mary? |
60267 | Why do all this hard work? |
60267 | Why do we say that"Christmas comes but once a year,"if not because we feel that there is nothing else that can take its place? |
60267 | Why does not the world now come to us as it did in those former days of its anxiety and doubt? |
60267 | Why is it that it has such a warm place in our hearts? |
60267 | Why not have something to show for all our trouble at the end of our time here on earth? |
60267 | Why not make it, as we may, into a crown to take with us into that life which has no end? |
60267 | Why should it not be so to us all? |
60267 | Why should they be treated so harshly? |
60267 | Why suffer this poverty, this sickness, this worry and distress of mind? |
60267 | Why then was the law? |
60267 | Why was it that they had the same sad story to tell when they came back this time that they had a few years ago? |
60267 | Why will not the generosity of God towards us lead us to show a like spirit towards our brethren? |
60267 | Why will you not see the hand of God directing the whole course of your life?" |
60267 | Why, then, are you so careless about morning prayers? |
60267 | Why, then, does not the church increase more rapidly? |
60267 | Why? |
60267 | Why? |
60267 | Will it make them strong? |
60267 | Will those with whom we have enjoyed life then stand by to help us? |
60267 | Will you heed this warning, or will you still put off the day of your conversion to God? |
60267 | Will you remain thus, you who are in sin? |
60267 | Would he not at least have told them if such had been his plan? |
60267 | Would he not grant her lightest wish while he lived with her on earth, will he not gladly do so now in heaven? |
60267 | Would he not say rather that we were indeed like reeds, turning to one side or another, according to the wind that happens to be blowing? |
60267 | Would it not be fearful to see him stagger up to the altar of God in the state of intoxication? |
60267 | Would it not be horrible for a man to come in on the altar and utter repeated curses? |
60267 | Would it not, perhaps, even be a painful restraint? |
60267 | Would our answer be as pleasing to God as theirs was? |
60267 | Would we care for this presence which they so bitterly missed? |
60267 | Would you find it easy to do such a thing yourself, however guilty? |
60267 | Yes, sorrow may come in such an overflowing torrent as to break down and sweep away all obstacles in its path; but how often does it come so? |
60267 | Yet another might say: But, Father, what about the sacraments, and what about the practice of prayer, and what about the laws of the church? |
60267 | Yet how can we call any class of virtues little? |
60267 | You are sorry that things were so that you had to tell a lie; but if things were so again to- morrow, would not you tell the lie again? |
60267 | You fail, and why? |
60267 | You wish to succeed? |
60267 | _ And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another? |
60267 | _ Brethren, know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize? |
60267 | _ Shouldst not thou then have had compassion on thy fellow- servant, even as I had compassion on thee?_--St. Matthew, xviii. |
60267 | _ What is this receiving of God''s grace in vain, my brethren, against which St. Paul warns us in these words of the Epistle of to- day? |
60267 | _ What went you out into the desert to see? |
60267 | _ Where are the nine?_--St. Luke xvii. |
60267 | _ Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbor to him that fell among robbers? |
60267 | _ Which of you shall convince me of sin?_--John viii. |
60267 | _ Who is my neighbor?_--From the Gospel of the Sunday. |
60267 | and where are the nine? |
60267 | dear brethren, and what do we see in the world about us? |
60267 | did you not know that I must be about the things that are my Father''s? |
60267 | do they not both fall into the ditch? |
60267 | have pity on me, for this is my dear son, dead in mortal sin? |
60267 | he still says to us,"why are you so slow and dull of heart to understand? |
60267 | how much you are losing, and for what? |
60267 | how readest thou? |
60267 | is it not our sins? |
60267 | is thy eye evil because I am good? |
60267 | or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull the mote out of thy eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own eye? |
60267 | what end do I hope to obtain?" |
60267 | what is the use, what is the purpose of all this life which I am living? |
60267 | what sayest thou of thyself? |
60267 | whence then hath it cockle? |
60267 | where is thy sting? |
60267 | where is thy victory? |
60267 | { 109} Is it because we fast, say long prayers, visit the church, or even because we receive the sacraments often? |
60267 | { 127} What does this oil mean that the foolish virgins neglected to provide for themselves and to have in their lamps? |
60267 | { 138} Plenty of this seed has, then, been sown in us; but where is the fruit, the harvest that should have come from it? |
60267 | { 158} And, when we come to look at it, is it such a very terrible infliction? |
60267 | { 159} Now, after the fast and abstinence, what is left? |
60267 | { 174} Now if I cast out devils in Beelzebub, in whom do your children cast them out? |
60267 | { 189} Where, then, is liberty to be found? |
60267 | { 195} Is there any way in which he can be made clean? |
60267 | { 198} What is this veil which obscures the cross of Jesus Christ and makes his Passion of no effect? |
60267 | { 206} Now, what is the truth which these services have it for their object to impress upon our minds? |
60267 | { 215} And what is the remedy for this dread? |
60267 | { 21} Why was it that he made such a strange choice? |
60267 | { 222} But what would you think if those gifts of the kind father served only to estrange from him the heart of his child? |
60267 | { 225} What is this peace? |
60267 | { 24} But would our Saviour be able to praise us so highly, my brethren, if he should come down now in our midst? |
60267 | { 253} What is the first thing to be done to begin to live in this way? |
60267 | { 256} Or, lastly, is the reason for their disappointment that they were praying for others whose will was obstinately set against their prayers? |
60267 | { 260} For how could they have made the purpose of amendment which a good confession requires? |
60267 | { 277} And why seest thou the mote in thy brother''s eye, but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not? |
60267 | { 283} How did they understand him? |
60267 | { 284} Do we truly hope that this sad fate will not be ours? |
60267 | { 289} How would you like to have yourself thrust aside and one of them called by the Lord to take your place at his table? |
60267 | { 28} Now what was it that the pope did in defining the Immaculate Conception? |
60267 | { 340} What are the deeds of the flesh? |
60267 | { 341} Is it really so hard as it seems? |
60267 | { 346} What, then, shall be our hope? |
60267 | { 353} Who are they? |
60267 | { 35} Now, how is this"way of the Lord"to be"made straight"in the spiritual desert of our hearts? |
60267 | { 361} Suppose that your child is sick, what is your first word in the morning? |
60267 | { 381} Are not all men creatures of God? |
60267 | { 387} And Jesus answering, said: Were there not ten made clean? |
60267 | { 396} And which of you by thinking can add to his stature one cubit? |
60267 | { 397} Yet, brethren, is not the whole Christian world absorbed in seeking after what should be the heathen''s peculiar treasure? |
60267 | { 39} What is this root of sin in us? |
60267 | { 400} But somebody might say, How about the love of God? |
60267 | { 402} What does our Lord mean by this, my brethren? |
60267 | { 403} But I seem to hear some one say,"Father, are you not pushing this matter rather too far? |
60267 | { 411} But, some one might say, what if your child has got beyond you and will be bad in spite of every best endeavor on your part-- what then? |
60267 | { 419} Another says: Brains is the standard; good clothes and social position-- what are they but miserable vanity and prejudice? |
60267 | { 42} What is the reason of all this failure of what began so well? |
60267 | { 433} Do I oblige them to come to Mass and approach the sacraments, while I neglect these duties myself? |
60267 | { 436} Have you never seen a blind man whose eyes seemed perfectly good, clear, and bright, and yet utterly blind? |
60267 | { 451} And what is the harm? |
60267 | { 57} What is it to bring up children to burn in the flames of hell for ever, as some Christian parents do? |
60267 | { 67} And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us? |
60267 | { 78} Do I say this is strange? |
60267 | { 83} Well, brethren, let us ask if Almighty God has not set up any particular sign of reverence that we are to pay him? |
60267 | { 88} Will He, then, who has done so much for us, not complete his work? |
60267 | { 98} Can you stand up and with a clean heart proclaim that this is honest? |
58812 | Can that be the true preaching of''the Word''where the language of that Word so seldom enters in? |
58812 | Can two walk together,says Holy Scripture,"and not be agreed?" |
58812 | Could that be the true preaching of''Christ, and Him crucified,''where any mention of the simple gospel story was almost systematically shut out? |
58812 | Dost Thou not hear,the demon once more cries out impatiently--"Dost thou not hear what the angel says? |
58812 | Is there really a way through this world to heaven? 58812 Jesus saith to her: Woman why weepest thou? |
58812 | O my Divine Spouse,she said,"where wast thou when I was enduring these conflicts?" |
58812 | What is that to thee? 58812 What is that to thee?" |
58812 | What shall I offer to the Lord that is worthy? 58812 What was it they were required to do? |
58812 | What, with all these filthy abominations? |
58812 | Why stand ye all the day idle? |
58812 | Why stand ye all the day idle? |
58812 | Why stand ye here all the day idle? |
58812 | Why stand ye here all the day idle? |
58812 | _ How can this man give us his flesh to eat?_they said. |
58812 | _ What shall I offer to the Lord that is worthy? 58812 _ What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?" |
58812 | _ What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?_Will you sin against your own soul? |
58812 | _ What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?_Will you sin against your own soul? |
58812 | _ What shall we say then to these things? 58812 _ Who shall stand to see Him? |
58812 | _ Why weepest thou? 58812 _ Woman why weepest thou? |
58812 | ( a cousin of mine, who is an Episcopalian clergyman) do the same thing?" |
58812 | 3:] Why does the winter come upon us with desolation and storm? |
58812 | A man approaches, and addresses Magdelene in the same words that the angels had used:"Woman, why weepest thou? |
58812 | After all, what has she done? |
58812 | Alone, or only with a feeble woman like herself, she goes out late at night, and whither? |
58812 | And are there not some who do this? |
58812 | And are we now really doing any thing for heaven? |
58812 | And by what law is he to be tried? |
58812 | And for what have you done all this? |
58812 | And has not God promised to protect the orphan? |
58812 | And how does our Lord answer her? |
58812 | And if merely to think about God in this life can make us so happy, what must it be to see Him in the life to come? |
58812 | And if not, why are Roman Catholic bishops schismatical intruders in London and New- York? |
58812 | And if the soul is so beautiful in the little rays that escape from the body, what must it be in itself? |
58812 | And is He not present to you as truly as if you saw Him, hearing each imprecation and blasphemy which you utter? |
58812 | And is it so? |
58812 | And is it, then, not credible? |
58812 | And is it, then, only God for whom we are unwilling to do any thing hard? |
58812 | And is not this our crime, that we are idlers and triflers in religion? |
58812 | And is there any thing in this joy and confidence which reason or Christianity would condemn? |
58812 | And oh, are the judgments of God so strict? |
58812 | And that precious soul of yours, before which all the wealth of the world is but worthless dross with what care have you kept that? |
58812 | And the disciples seeing it, wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away?_"[ Footnote 86][ Footnote 86: St. Matt. |
58812 | And the soldiers asked him, saying:"And what shall_ we_ do?" |
58812 | And they spoke to her:"Woman, why weepest thou? |
58812 | And what does that mass think of the Catholic Church? |
58812 | And what is that? |
58812 | And what is to secure you from dying in such a state? |
58812 | And what we do willingly for the world, for our families, for our health, our pleasure, our sins, shall we refuse to do for the great and good God? |
58812 | And when He comes to judgment will not the stars fall from the sky and the heavens be parted as a scroll? |
58812 | And why was all this? |
58812 | And why? |
58812 | And why? |
58812 | And would you attribute conduct so disgraceful among men to our Father in heaven? |
58812 | Are all our real sorrows removed or alleviated by the resurrection of Christ? |
58812 | Are not all times alike to God? |
58812 | Are our faces, my brethren, turned toward the heavenly city? |
58812 | Are the Anglican bishops in these places schismatical intruders or not? |
58812 | Are the stars inhabited? |
58812 | Are there any here to- night in mortal sin? |
58812 | Are there few or many that will be saved? |
58812 | Are there none of you, my brethren, who recognise this as the secret language of your hearts? |
58812 | Are these children faithful Catholics? |
58812 | Are these orgies meant to insult the dead? |
58812 | Are these wishes executed? |
58812 | Are we as faithful to pray for our departed friends, and to get prayers said for them? |
58812 | Are we hastening thither, acknowledging ourselves strangers and pilgrims on the earth? |
58812 | Are we left to our own fancyings and feelings to decide whether we are pardoned or not? |
58812 | Are we living the lives God intended us to live? |
58812 | Are we not afraid of wounding your pride, of alienating your affections? |
58812 | Are we not too apt to speak so of the work of an opponent? |
58812 | Are we really redeeming the past by a true penance? |
58812 | Are we to have no interest, no feeling for each other? |
58812 | Are you distressed and suffering? |
58812 | Are you in doubt about religious truth? |
58812 | Are you in sin? |
58812 | Are you in sin? |
58812 | Are you leading a tepid, imperfect life? |
58812 | Are you not afraid of His vengeance Whom you have offended? |
58812 | Are you not ready to condemn him yourselves to hell? |
58812 | Are you old? |
58812 | Are you sorely tempted to sin? |
58812 | Are you spending your time as you would wish to spend the last year of your life? |
58812 | Are you willing to practise what you do believe? |
58812 | Are you young? |
58812 | Art thou guilty? |
58812 | Art thou in sin after baptism? |
58812 | Art thou sad and lonely? |
58812 | Art thou weak? |
58812 | As he was on his way, St. Laurence followed him weeping and saying:"Father where are you going without your son? |
58812 | As heaven fills up with saints flaming with love, He says,"Whence are these? |
58812 | As reasonable men, I have appealed to you: what is your decision? |
58812 | Ask the Gospel, Who is that servant whom his Lord at His coming will approve? |
58812 | Ask the Psalmist who of us shall see heaven, and he will answer you,"_ Lord, who shall dwell in Thy tabernacle, or who shall rest on Thy holy hill? |
58812 | But do you think we have none of the charity of the Angels? |
58812 | But does this law reach also to the supernatural world? |
58812 | But how can they turn away from Catholicity as it is expressed by the great saints of the Church? |
58812 | But how did you come by that belief? |
58812 | But how does he believe you? |
58812 | But how will you bear the taunts and jeers of the devil and his angels? |
58812 | But is it not necessary to go to communion? |
58812 | But some of you may say, why tell us this? |
58812 | But suppose these evil temptations are importunate, and remain in the soul even when we resist them, and try to turn from them? |
58812 | But the question with many will be, is it possible to attain it? |
58812 | But when? |
58812 | But who are those young people, that young man and young woman? |
58812 | But why is this necessary? |
58812 | But, it may be asked, does man need a revelation on this point? |
58812 | By what means can I be united to Christ? |
58812 | By what way is light spread, and heat divided on the earth? |
58812 | Can God remain united to the soul which has cast Him off by an act of complete and formal rebellion? |
58812 | Can He be very much displeased at my follies? |
58812 | Can He care what my religious belief is? |
58812 | Can He speak, and you go on as if He had not spoken? |
58812 | Can Jesus Christ resist such an appeal? |
58812 | Can there be any thing more dreadful still? |
58812 | Can there be hope for one like that? |
58812 | Can we doubt to what effect our Saviour would have answered? |
58812 | Can we not believe Jesus Christ? |
58812 | Can we say,"I am fulfilling the requirements of my conscience, in the standard which I propose to myself?" |
58812 | Can you blame her for weeping, as she looks, for the last time, on that dear form? |
58812 | Can you carry away a heavy corpse? |
58812 | Can you doubt His power? |
58812 | Can you doubt His truth? |
58812 | Can you pick and choose among His doctrines, and take up one and reject another? |
58812 | Can you, then, innocently refuse to listen? |
58812 | Could any thing He had made escape His knowledge, or any sorrow fail to awaken His compassion? |
58812 | Cut it down therefore; why doth it take up the ground? |
58812 | Did God require to be reminded of the woes and wants of any child of man, by the sympathizing cries of his fellow- creatures? |
58812 | Did He not manifest Himself to the patriarchs? |
58812 | Did His words ever so abide in any heart as in hers? |
58812 | Did any remain in Christ as she did? |
58812 | Did he not speak face to face with Moses? |
58812 | Did it not carry them through fire and sword? |
58812 | Did it not enable them to meet death with joy? |
58812 | Did not our Lord love his Mother? |
58812 | Did not the sun hide its face at the crucifixon of our Lord, and the earth tremble under His Cross? |
58812 | Did the sad news of the daughter''s death go out to the poor mother in the old country, softened with the evidence of that daughter''s piety and love? |
58812 | Did they ever look at a crucifix, or read the story of the Passion? |
58812 | Did you hear that howl? |
58812 | Do these revellers wish to make us believe that their departed friend was, body and soul, the child of Hell as much as they? |
58812 | Do they know in whose name they are baptized? |
58812 | Do we not, like the Pharisees, give an undue value to outward observances? |
58812 | Do you ask me to what I allude? |
58812 | Do you ask me what has been done for your souls? |
58812 | Do you ask me what has been done for your souls? |
58812 | Do you ask what has been done for your souls? |
58812 | Do you hear this, O sinner? |
58812 | Do you hear this, my brethren? |
58812 | Do you judge of a man as you do of a horse or a dog? |
58812 | Do you think that poor widow of whom the Gospel speaks to- day could help weeping? |
58812 | Do you want a better worship than that which His Eternal Son offers? |
58812 | Do you want to have faith? |
58812 | Do you want to know what a mortal sin is? |
58812 | Do you wish to advance in a good life? |
58812 | Do you wish to die with that veil not taken away? |
58812 | Do you wish to go before God as careless and as sensual as you are now? |
58812 | Do you wish to know how to advance in God''s love? |
58812 | Docs she not run a thousand risks? |
58812 | Does God this night see in this church some heart that is in mortal sin? |
58812 | Does it not look like me? |
58812 | Does not Nature sympathize with man? |
58812 | Does not Scripture itself fashion out for her the glorious throne on which the Catholic Church places her? |
58812 | Does not every creature groan and travail for our redemption? |
58812 | Does not the very word, God, mean something different to us from what it does to a saint? |
58812 | Does sin wage a war against you? |
58812 | Does the Bible teach us this? |
58812 | Does the Catholic Church, as you understand it, come up to these descriptions? |
58812 | Does the world allure thee? |
58812 | Dost thou ask the way back to God? |
58812 | Dost thou know the order of heaven, and canst thou set down the reason thereof on the earth? |
58812 | Dost thou wish to know the life thou must practise? |
58812 | Dost thou wish to know where thou wilt gain strength to keep these laws? |
58812 | Even supposing she reaches the place in safety, will she be permitted to approach the grave? |
58812 | For a momentary gratification of appetite? |
58812 | For what are they but the evidences of the greatness of our religion? |
58812 | God is immutable, and yet He is perfectly free: who shall reconcile these together? |
58812 | Grant that yon are not bound to do precisely what they did, are you at liberty to do nothing? |
58812 | Had not St. Paul and St. Peter influence enough with Heaven to carry their wants directly to the throne of grace? |
58812 | Has Christianity, then, accomplished the results that might have been looked for? |
58812 | Has Jesus Christ always been so near me? |
58812 | Has an angel spoken to him, as of old to the prophet Zacharias? |
58812 | Has he seen a vision? |
58812 | Has it awakened you to new life, new hopes, new aspirations? |
58812 | Has it been a task to you to listen to the sermon? |
58812 | Has not God given His revelation complete credibility? |
58812 | Has not St. Magdalene preached an Easter sermon? |
58812 | Has not the solitary place been made glad by the hymns of its anchorites, and the desert blossomed like a rose under their toil? |
58812 | Has that debt been paid? |
58812 | Has the grace of God also its seasons and its times? |
58812 | Have my guardian angel and the demon that has tempted me been always in this very room? |
58812 | Have not empires owned its sway, and kings come bending to seek its blessings? |
58812 | Have not millions of martyrs loved it better than their lives? |
58812 | Have you a secret sorrow? |
58812 | Have you been critical and captious? |
58812 | Have you found me wanting to my duty? |
58812 | Have you kept it as your most sacred treasure? |
58812 | Have you sought only to be amused? |
58812 | Have you valued that soul of yours? |
58812 | Have you, my brethren, so regarded yourselves? |
58812 | He asks:"Is this binding under mortal sin? |
58812 | He had his little trials, but what was it all-- what was poverty or sickness or disappointment? |
58812 | He listens, and asks,"May I believe this?" |
58812 | He says:"Offer it now to thy prince, will_ he_ be pleased with it, or will_ he_ regard thy face?" |
58812 | He whom they loved and trusted is no more; and they, whither shall they go? |
58812 | Hear the Holy Ghost, Himself interpret it:"_ The voice said, cry; and I said, what shall I cry? |
58812 | How can I describe to you the change that takes place in that moment? |
58812 | How can a person"abjure the Catholic Communion"at Rome, by joining that which is confessedly the principal branch of the Catholic Church? |
58812 | How can it be otherwise? |
58812 | How can there be the guilt of apostasy involved in such an act? |
58812 | How could she go fast? |
58812 | How did he prepare men for the coming of Christ? |
58812 | How did the Blessed Virgin arrive at such glory? |
58812 | How did this happen? |
58812 | How do men act about religion? |
58812 | How does it come to pass that there are those two principles within us? |
58812 | How has it been with each of you? |
58812 | How much of good, then, has been and is in the world? |
58812 | How must, then, a man forget himself whose occupation is more secular? |
58812 | How old is the earth which we inhabit? |
58812 | How shall we abide His coming, my brethren I how shall we prepare to meet Him? |
58812 | How shall we express the thoughts of Him that fill our souls? |
58812 | How shall we worship Him? |
58812 | How were they to preserve the continuity of organization and the apostolic succession? |
58812 | How will men attain that which they do not care for, to which they give no thought? |
58812 | I err by excess or defect in my conduct; I bring evil on myself it is true; but what difference can that make to the Supreme Being? |
58812 | I know there are times when every man has felt the words of the Psalmist:"_ What have I in heaven? |
58812 | If God be for us, who shall be against us? |
58812 | If He did, who of us could be saved? |
58812 | If no rule obliges you to spend the night in prayer, are you not obliged to pray often? |
58812 | If not, why not? |
58812 | If she had not believed, if she had not assented, what would have come of it? |
58812 | If we look back at our own lives, do we not see that we have had our special times when Christ visited us? |
58812 | If you are not called to forego all innocent pleasures, are you exempt from every sort of self- denial? |
58812 | If you are not required to flee from your homes, are you not required to forsake the occasions of sin? |
58812 | If you can be chaste in the presence of a virtuous female, why can you not be chaste everywhere? |
58812 | If you can be honest when the eye of man is on you, why can you not be honest when no eye sees you but that of God? |
58812 | In a family, who is so much loved as the one whose thoughts are all for others? |
58812 | In the first place, then, what is the source and nature of the conflict thus indicated by our Lord? |
58812 | In the sense in which the teaching of an uninspired man can be so designated, have you thus listened to the preacher''s words? |
58812 | In what consists the beauty of a man? |
58812 | In what house, indeed, is the family unbroken? |
58812 | In what, then, does our Lord''s Priesthood since His Crucifixion consist? |
58812 | Is Catholic truth, as you appropriate it, so high and glorious a thing as this? |
58812 | Is confession difficult? |
58812 | Is it a light thing that could have bound Me to this cross? |
58812 | Is it a light thing that could have reduced Me to such a state of woe? |
58812 | Is it a mere prejudice that melts before investigation? |
58812 | Is it a mere regularity of form and feature? |
58812 | Is it a stupid fanaticism? |
58812 | Is it hard to bear the remarks of companions? |
58812 | Is it hard to lose a little gain? |
58812 | Is it not a failure? |
58812 | Is it not a story to make one weep? |
58812 | Is it not an unconscious acknowledgment of the presence of God? |
58812 | Is it not superstition? |
58812 | Is it not very caustic? |
58812 | Is it now safe and secure? |
58812 | Is not God always ready to save the sinner, and to bestow the graces necessary to his salvation? |
58812 | Is not faith an act purely intellectual? |
58812 | Is not his fall certain? |
58812 | Is not his presence an offence? |
58812 | Is not the earth for the elect? |
58812 | Is not the natural reason and the natural conscience sufficient to tell us that sin is wrong? |
58812 | Is not this to betray the souls of his own children? |
58812 | Is she not afraid? |
58812 | Is that boy, the object of a mother''s dying tears and prayers, regular at the sacraments? |
58812 | Is that principle so deeply seated in our nature to have no play in Christianity? |
58812 | Is that what you will be punished for? |
58812 | Is the return we are actually making such as He deserves? |
58812 | Is there no trouble in your conscience? |
58812 | Is there not an impression in your minds that the law of God is too strict, or at least that it is too strict for you, and that you can not keep it? |
58812 | Is there nothing frightful to you in a sleepless night, or a sickbed? |
58812 | Is this question answered in the affirmative? |
58812 | Is thy heart weary and inconstant? |
58812 | It is true there are candles and holy water, but where are the pious prayers? |
58812 | Listen to the description which God Himself gives of the results of the gospel:"_ Who are these, that fly as clouds, and as doves to their windows? |
58812 | Look at it; see if it does not belong to me? |
58812 | Mary, dost thou not remember My words-- My promise-- that I would rise again? |
58812 | Mary,--dost thou not believe My angels, bearing testimony to My Resurrection? |
58812 | May He not dishonor it? |
58812 | May he not falsify his message? |
58812 | May we not worship God at home just as well? |
58812 | Me, the Creator of all things, to whom you owe all life and liberty? |
58812 | Men do not ask:"What shall I do to be saved?" |
58812 | Merely because he saw Him with his bodily eyes? |
58812 | Must I forever despair?" |
58812 | Must we go trembling all our days, and be terror- stricken at the hour of death? |
58812 | No matter: are you willing to serve God with a cold heart? |
58812 | No matter: you know what is right; are you willing to do it? |
58812 | Now, amid such ceaseless controversies, what means has our Lord left to protect and defend His people from doubt and error? |
58812 | Now, can salvation be a work so serious to them and so trivial for us? |
58812 | Now, how did these things happen? |
58812 | Now, if she did not merit heaven by becoming the Mother of God, how did she merit it? |
58812 | Now, if you can stop cursing before the priest, why can you not before your wife and children? |
58812 | Now, supposing the offence they take to be justly taken, which is not always the case, what does it prove? |
58812 | Now, to these persons it is a question of the most pressing urgency,"Am I now as I would wish to be when I die? |
58812 | Now, what else could be the result of all this, but a disesteem of Christianity itself? |
58812 | Now, what is all this? |
58812 | Now, what is the blight that destroys all their goodness? |
58812 | Now, what takes place under such circumstances? |
58812 | Now, what was it all about? |
58812 | Now, whence comes this deep and fixed certainty in religion? |
58812 | Now, who can tell us in practice when we have arrived at the limit of venial sin, when we have passed beyond it and are in mortal sin? |
58812 | Now, who does not see here the realization and fulfilment of the great promise of Christ which I have quoted as my text? |
58812 | Now, why is this? |
58812 | Now, why was this? |
58812 | Now, will you tell me that you can not help doing what the martyrs would not do to save them from death? |
58812 | O Dwight, what is there in such a situation to make one remain in it, if one could conscientiously leave it? |
58812 | O my brethren, is the service you are rendering Him at all worthy of Him? |
58812 | O my brethren, need I say more? |
58812 | O my brethren, why do we grovel on earth, when we might have our conversation in heaven? |
58812 | O thou who art afflicted, tossed with tempests and not comforted, what dost thou want?--what wouldst thou have? |
58812 | Of whom it can be said literally,"Whatever thou askest of Me I will do it,"because the condition of union with God is perfectly fulfilled? |
58812 | Oh, why did not the priest speak of this? |
58812 | On the principle of a Protestant, or a Catholic? |
58812 | On the principle of private judgment, or on faith in an infallible authority? |
58812 | One of the strongest things that St. Paul said in his defence before Agrippa was the appeal:"_ King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets? |
58812 | Or has it a reasonable basis, and are its foundations deep in the laws of the human mind? |
58812 | Or that married woman who has stepped aside from the path of virtue, did she realize what she was doing? |
58812 | Or, acknowledging the truth you have heard, have you been careless about putting it in practice? |
58812 | Or, if it did, was the intercession of Christ insufficient that any other had to be called in to supplicate? |
58812 | Or, is that sympathy to be a barren sentiment, and to have no results? |
58812 | Or, like Abel, shall we take the firstlings of our flocks, and slay them in His honor? |
58812 | Or, like the Indian devotee, shall we throw ourselves under the wheels of the car that carries the image of the Divinity? |
58812 | Qu.--How many parts are there in a Sacrament? |
58812 | Qu.--What are the benefits whereof we are partakers thereby? |
58812 | Qu.--What is the inward part, or thing signified? |
58812 | Qu.--What is the outward part or sign of the Lord''s Supper? |
58812 | Shall I bring them up?" |
58812 | Shall I give my first- born for my wickedness, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?_"[ Footnote 97][ Footnote 97: Mich. vi. |
58812 | Shall I never see Jesus Christ again? |
58812 | Shall I offer holocausts unto Him, and calves of a year old? |
58812 | Shall she wait to see Him? |
58812 | Shall there be no sympathy between us? |
58812 | Shall we dress an altar, and pile upon it the smoking victims? |
58812 | Shall we make our children pass through the fire in His Name? |
58812 | Shall we never, after we have sinned, have again the assurance that we are pardoned? |
58812 | Shall we never_ hear_ that sweet consoling word:"_ Go in peace, thy sins are forgiven thee?_"Yes, Christ is risen. |
58812 | Shall we not feel an ample respect for each other, my brethren, when we think of what we are? |
58812 | Shall we, like Cain, gather the fairest fruits and flowers, and bring the basket before the Lord? |
58812 | Should our lives be cut off at this moment, of what kind of texture would they be found? |
58812 | So, I ask you, who are you? |
58812 | Some Catholic who has renounced, if not his faith, at least the practice of his faith? |
58812 | Such a friend? |
58812 | Suppose I am in mortal sin, how can I be forgiven? |
58812 | Suppose it is: may not the wind be speaking for the dead? |
58812 | Suppose you do refuse to listen to the warnings which Death suggests, are you therefore free from anxiety? |
58812 | Surely it is as a Catholic he believes? |
58812 | Tell me, O my brethren, did you not, when you were deeply plunged in sinful enjoyment, feel a dreadful pang at your heart? |
58812 | Tell me, did you not at the moment you sinned hear a stern voice speaking in the depths of your heart? |
58812 | Tell me, now that you stand in God''s holy presence, tell me now, is there not something within you that tells you, you are ruined? |
58812 | Tell me, tell me, young men, tell me, children, tell me truly, one and all, what have been the happiest moments of your life? |
58812 | That duty is irksome; is it a great matter if I omit it now and then?" |
58812 | The heart asks,"What is to become of the body that I loved so much?" |
58812 | The only question is, how is it to be attained? |
58812 | The people came to him and asked him,"What shall we do?" |
58812 | Then the officers of the custom came and asked:"What shall_ we_ do? |
58812 | Then, who are the Catholic bishops in Canada, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Texas, and California? |
58812 | They died rather than lift a hand to do a forbidden thing; have you not the same power over your hand that they had? |
58812 | This being so, how is it possible for a man of real merit to remain long unrecognized? |
58812 | This being so, is not her power of intercession fixed beyond dispute? |
58812 | This is the practical question for each one of us: To which of these classes do I belong? |
58812 | This is what the Psalmist expresses so beautifully:"_ Whither shall I go from Thy spirit? |
58812 | To commence with the commencement, then, what shall I say of Trinity Church? |
58812 | To go hence"with the sign of faith,"with the blessing of the Mother of Saints upon you, and the grace of her sacraments within your heart? |
58812 | To have the body of the dead taken away from us, is not that a grief? |
58812 | Upon what are its bases grounded? |
58812 | Very well; but how were they required to deny Christ? |
58812 | Was He not disposed to be obedient to her as his mother? |
58812 | Was he not a Christian? |
58812 | Was he not a friend of God, was not his soul beautiful in God''s sight? |
58812 | Was it for this that He hung on the cross, that_ only now and then_ we should omit some important duty? |
58812 | Was it for this that He sweat those great drops of blood, that we should live a slothful and irreligous life? |
58812 | Was it the hour of some earthly success or triumph? |
58812 | Was it the moments you have spent in sin? |
58812 | Was not God''s own heart as large as theirs? |
58812 | Was not the way of access to God open and easy for every one? |
58812 | Was there ever love like this? |
58812 | Well, is it not better to feel that this life is a state of exile? |
58812 | What aileth thee, O sea, tossed and driven with the waves? |
58812 | What are all the attainments of learned men to Him who is all- wise? |
58812 | What are all the conceptions of genius to Him who is all- beautiful, or the moral excellencies of good men to Him who is all- holy? |
58812 | What are those duties? |
58812 | What are you? |
58812 | What but sin? |
58812 | What could hinder me from being a Roman Catholic but for the fear of doing wrong? |
58812 | What devotion to pleasure? |
58812 | What did they want with Christ? |
58812 | What did you think of Mr. Bennett''s course? |
58812 | What does it matter? |
58812 | What does it mean? |
58812 | What does reason, what does conscience, what does self- interest say? |
58812 | What does the Holy Scripture say? |
58812 | What does the Holy Scripture say? |
58812 | What does the Scripture say? |
58812 | What does this mean? |
58812 | What excessive anxiety about this world? |
58812 | What grief is there that I have not removed?" |
58812 | What has He not done for you? |
58812 | What has gathered these crowds of busy, practical men? |
58812 | What have our past lives been? |
58812 | What is it that has destroyed the peace of so many families? |
58812 | What is it that has happened? |
58812 | What is it that has ruined so many reputations, that once were fair and unblemished? |
58812 | What is it, then, that gives such interest to this scene? |
58812 | What is that reason? |
58812 | What is that sacrifice? |
58812 | What is that worship? |
58812 | What is that? |
58812 | What is the cause of much of the sickness that affects our race? |
58812 | What is the cause of these convulsions of nature, and this terror of the people? |
58812 | What is the end for which God created us? |
58812 | What is the event that can interrupt the great harmonies of Heaven, and furnish the Angels with a new song? |
58812 | What is the history of this universe? |
58812 | What is the meaning of this? |
58812 | What is the point of this observation? |
58812 | What is the reason that Christian art has so far surpassed heathen art? |
58812 | What is the reason that every thing thus honors you? |
58812 | What is the sound that reaches us to- day? |
58812 | What is there, in the act of believing or disbelieving, that is of a moral nature, that deserves praise or blame? |
58812 | What is thy misery? |
58812 | What is thy sorrow? |
58812 | What is thy trial? |
58812 | What keeps them kneeling, or standing quietly in solid masses, for an hour before the exercises commence? |
58812 | What kind of a death naturally follows such a life? |
58812 | What kind of creature is that which renders to God a reluctant and imperfect service? |
58812 | What long periods of utter forgetfulness of God? |
58812 | What loss of time? |
58812 | What makes the character of a mother so beautiful but the trait of self- sacrifice? |
58812 | What more can we want? |
58812 | What must be the wickedness that can force Me to withstand the power of such an appeal?" |
58812 | What need for me to know the very words the priest is using? |
58812 | What of that? |
58812 | What other preacher can say the same words again and again, and never make us weary? |
58812 | What shall it then profit me what others have said in my favor or against me? |
58812 | What shall keep me back? |
58812 | What shall we do? |
58812 | What then? |
58812 | What though many refuse to listen? |
58812 | What was he then? |
58812 | What was his office? |
58812 | What was it that took place on the Cross? |
58812 | What will become of my companions whom I left on the earth, wild and reckless like my self? |
58812 | What wonder is it that men have imagined Fortune to be blindfold[ed], and the ups and downs of life the chance revolutions of her wheel? |
58812 | What would a master do if his slave should strike him? |
58812 | What years spent in neglect, or even in sin? |
58812 | What, then, delayed St. Mary Magdalene so long? |
58812 | What, then, is God''s estimate of sin? |
58812 | What, then, should be each one''s resolution? |
58812 | When did we shut our hearts to Thy grace?" |
58812 | When it speaks of a"way"to heaven, does it not mean that all must walk in that way to reach there? |
58812 | When you come to die, will you not wish to have those sins blotted out? |
58812 | Whence does it arise? |
58812 | Where are such tears shed as over the fresh grave of a self- forgetful friend? |
58812 | Where is there not a vacant seat at the table? |
58812 | Where were they to get bishops? |
58812 | Wherewith shall I kneel before the High God? |
58812 | Wherewith shall I kneel before the High God?" |
58812 | Which of the saints was ever wafted to heaven in this passive way? |
58812 | Which was the acceptable sacrifice? |
58812 | Which was the place where men ought to worship-- Mount Gerazin; or Mount Sion? |
58812 | Which was the right temple? |
58812 | While gratitude lives among men, what shall be the return given to Christ by those whom He has redeemed? |
58812 | Whither are you going, O holy priest, without your deacon? |
58812 | Who are they that are truly happy on this day? |
58812 | Who are they? |
58812 | Who are we? |
58812 | Who but He knew how perfectly to mingle dignity with familiarity, zeal with serenity, and austerity with compassion? |
58812 | Who can give peace to a soul that has sinned? |
58812 | Who can tell how many are living in a state of mortal sin, month by month, day by day, year by year? |
58812 | Who could ever speak an impure word before another if he thought of the dignity of a human soul? |
58812 | Who could listen to His voice in its untempered majesty and not be afraid? |
58812 | Who does not admire a generous, self- sacrificing man? |
58812 | Who is Christ? |
58812 | Who is he that shall condemn? |
58812 | Who is that, that is standing at the foot of his bed? |
58812 | Who is that? |
58812 | Who is the father of the rain, or who hath begotten the drops of dew? |
58812 | Who is there that needs to be told that the Blessed Virgin is splendid in sanctity, dazzling in beauty, and exalted in power? |
58812 | Who makes any sacrifice for it? |
58812 | Who of us does not know such? |
58812 | Who of us has not lost a friend? |
58812 | Who of us has not seen such? |
58812 | Who shall lay anything to the charge of the elect of God? |
58812 | Who shall this be whom Holy Scripture thus clothes with this tremendous power, if it be not the Blessed Virgin Mary? |
58812 | Who takes any pains for it? |
58812 | Who thinks about it? |
58812 | Who went first to China and India? |
58812 | Who will dare to break the seal? |
58812 | Who will roll the stone from the door? |
58812 | Who would lie, or cheat, or steal, if he thought of his soul? |
58812 | Who, I say, can wonder at this, when he looks around him, and sees how little the soul is valued? |
58812 | Who, then, shall be the favored child of man, the favored saint, who shall exercise this power in the fullest degree? |
58812 | Whom seekest thou?" |
58812 | Whom seekest thou?" |
58812 | Whom seekest thou?_"He challenges us. |
58812 | Whom seekest thou?_"These are the first words our Lord spoke after His Resurrection. |
58812 | Whose tones are there that linger in our ears like His, and come like a spell to our hearts in times of temptation and sorrow? |
58812 | Why are men so slow to be wise, and to be happy? |
58812 | Why are the angel and the demon there? |
58812 | Why are we not more active in laboring for them? |
58812 | Why are we so weak in temptation, so despairing in trial, when we might have the peace and joy of the children of God? |
58812 | Why are you not religious?" |
58812 | Why did our Lord become man? |
58812 | Why did you rush into the presence of your Maker without forethought? |
58812 | Why do men grope in darkness? |
58812 | Why do not men take advantage of this loving condescension? |
58812 | Why do summer and winter, seed- time and harvest, return so regularly? |
58812 | Why do they not converse with God? |
58812 | Why do they not think of Him? |
58812 | Why do we follow the Evil One, when He that is beautiful above the sons of men is our Master and our Lord? |
58812 | Why do we not take our place at once, where we shall wish to be found at our Saviour''s coming? |
58812 | Why do we set our hearts on creatures, when we might have the Creator for our friend? |
58812 | Why does He come at all to consciences which do not crave rest, and wills that need no strength? |
58812 | Why does he interrupt the Mass? |
58812 | Why does our Lord leave us subject to this strife? |
58812 | Why does the sun rise in the morning, and go down at night? |
58812 | Why dost thou seek the living among the dead?" |
58812 | Why has not the sound of the gospel gone into all lands, and its words to the end of the world? |
58812 | Why is Jesus Christ there? |
58812 | Why is it always thus? |
58812 | Why is it that the just man perisheth? |
58812 | Why is this? |
58812 | Why is this? |
58812 | Why should their influence be dreaded? |
58812 | Why should we fear? |
58812 | Why should we shut our eyes to the hosts of heaven that march unseen by our side? |
58812 | Why so? |
58812 | Why stand we all the day idle? |
58812 | Why tarry we here in the bondage of Egypt? |
58812 | Why, then, do they commit it? |
58812 | Why, who are you, my brethren? |
58812 | Will He be appeased with thousands of rams? |
58812 | Will His serene Majesty in heaven be affected because I on this earth am carried too far by passions? |
58812 | Will not a careless, thoughtless man, such as I have described, will he not be certain sometimes to go over the fatal line? |
58812 | Will those misgivings help you to die easily? |
58812 | Will you grieve because he has secured for himself the Blissful and Eternal Vision of God? |
58812 | Will you renounce your birthright? |
58812 | Will you tell me they were but seeking a_ more perfect_ life? |
58812 | Will you then forego as you do now those absolving words which our Lord has promised to ratify in heaven? |
58812 | Will you trust all to the uncertain chance of confession in that hour, or to a doubtful contrition? |
58812 | Will you wait, as your Protestantism requires you to do, till he is grown up, for him to form his religious convictions? |
58812 | Will you weep because one you love is taken away from sin, from temptation, from the trouble to come? |
58812 | Will you, by mortal sin, throw away that immortal crown? |
58812 | Will you, by sin, take the course that leads you away from your heavenly home? |
58812 | Wilt thou take a soul like that and place it in thy paradise?" |
58812 | Would it not be taken as an act of contempt and an offence? |
58812 | Would it not be the same, if he were to close His eyes, and yet be aware of His presence? |
58812 | Would it not seem, otherwise, that God made Himself a party to our sins by keeping silence? |
58812 | Would men speak so, if they realized that God and Christ were then and there present? |
58812 | Would they insult God to His face? |
58812 | Would you excuse a son from the guilt of parricide who should strike a knife to his father''s heart, and should miss his aim? |
58812 | Would you know Who it is Whom you have offended? |
58812 | Would you know what the Autumn teaches? |
58812 | Would you know who, at the end of the world, shall reap a rich harvest? |
58812 | Would you not like, as you go out of this world, to step on the firm rock of Peter? |
58812 | Would you not, like St. John, fall down before his feet and adore him? |
58812 | Yet what was the result of all? |
58812 | You were not wo nt to offer sacrifice without me your minister, wherein have I displeased you? |
58812 | [ Footnote 121] Who could look upon the Lord and live? |
58812 | [ Footnote 217] Do you understand? |
58812 | a sure, clear, easy way?" |
58812 | and are not we too called the"_ Sons of God?_"[ Footnote 208][ Footnote 203: Apoc. |
58812 | and are not we too promised a place at his right hand, and to"_ sit on thrones?_"[ Footnote 204] Is she called the"Morning Star?" |
58812 | and are not we too promised a place at his right hand, and to"_ sit on thrones?_"[ Footnote 204] Is she called the"Morning Star?" |
58812 | and besides Thee what do I desire upon earth? |
58812 | and does not our Lord''s question convey to us the keenest reproach? |
58812 | and who are my brethren? |
58812 | and who hath begotten them?" |
58812 | and why did He become Man in the way He did? |
58812 | are you not afraid to add to the sin of irreligion and injustice the crime of breaking faith with the dead? |
58812 | are you not ashamed to do that before the living God which you would be ashamed to do before a man like yourself?" |
58812 | are you sick? |
58812 | can I, a frail creature,"say they,"ignorant and passionate, can I do an injury to God? |
58812 | does he breathe at all? |
58812 | for Christ our Saviour, who did not refuse the Cross to give us an example of the obedience we owe His Father? |
58812 | has not the demon made out his case? |
58812 | he will say, what is this that I see and hear? |
58812 | how can men turn away from Catholicity? |
58812 | if you will not listen to reason, to God, to the angels; will you not listen to your companions lost? |
58812 | is he not a blot on the scene? |
58812 | is not this our misery, that we have left off striving? |
58812 | is this Christianity? |
58812 | it is hard to see one we love die, but is it not harder to our sensitive nature to bury them? |
58812 | my brethren, is not this joy? |
58812 | or was the money retained and squandered? |
58812 | or whither shall I flee from Thy face? |
58812 | or who laid the corner- stone thereof? |
58812 | or will He separate Himself from me eternally because I have happened to violate some law?" |
58812 | our times of grace? |
58812 | red- letter days in the calendar of our life? |
58812 | saved by''sprinkling?''] |
58812 | shall I do this wicked thing, and offend against God?" |
58812 | so prompt and eager in setting out, so tardy in arriving? |
58812 | that the Madonna is so far more beautiful than the Venus de Medicis? |
58812 | that the will is too weak to decide this fearful contest? |
58812 | that we are doing nothing, or at least nothing serious and worthy of our salvation? |
58812 | they were but following the counsels of perfection, which a man is free to embrace or decline? |
58812 | what is thy request? |
58812 | what voice is that which speaks:"_ Woman, why weepest thou?_"It is the voice of Jesus himself, of Jesus whom she mourns. |
58812 | what voice is that? |
58812 | what will it be to the sinful Catholic? |
58812 | who do not seek temptation, but invariably yield to it when it comes across them? |
58812 | why did you not think of these things before? |
58812 | would you hear with equanimity that you had a hopeless disease? |
58812 | { 214} And how do I establish my proposition? |
58812 | { 217} But have we not cause enough to honor man, in the fact that he has a soul, an immortal soul, a soul which shall one day see God? |
58812 | { 226} Is it hard to break a tie of long standing? |
58812 | { 262} Will you draw back, Christian? |
58812 | { 324} Was it for this that He died, that we should not commit_ quite so many_ mortal sins? |
58812 | { 328} If you are not bound to a perpetual fast, are you at liberty to darken your mind and inflame your passions by immoderate drinking? |
58812 | { 334} What is there in this execution thus to gather together all classes of the people? |
58812 | { 348} What kind of death often, in point of fact, follows such a life? |
58812 | { 356} Now, must we for ever go on in this uncertainty? |
58812 | { 359} So, my brethren, as you weep at the graves of your friends, those very friends stand near you and say,"Why weepest thou?" |
58812 | { 360} Has this day been a day of joy to you? |
58812 | { 390} Do you say that I put too much on the will? |
58812 | { 415} Do you ask what has been done for your souls? |
58812 | { 426} What are the precise obligations binding on me as a Christian? |
58812 | { 433} What is it that has impressed on men this universal fear of detection? |
58812 | { 442} They died rather than utter a sinful word; have you not as much power over your tongue as they? |
58812 | { 452} How does he receive it? |
58812 | { 465} Do you feel in yourselves a vocation to a religious or sacerdotal life? |
58812 | { 468} Well, ought you not, then, to rejoice at his safe departure? |
58812 | { 472} Do you call this a decent funeral?" |
58812 | { 492} How can we forego that sweet and solemn action? |
58812 | { 495} And what does all this mean to us? |
58812 | { 75} Do you know any thing about it? |
49618 | Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? |
49618 | Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God? |
49618 | Art thou he,asks the King,"that troubleth Israel?" |
49618 | Ave Marias? |
49618 | Can these dry bones live? |
49618 | Come thou and thy family into the ark,--what time could be more opportune than this first day of another year of God''s grace? |
49618 | Have we trials and temptations, is there trouble anywhere? |
49618 | He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him freely give us all things? |
49618 | If God,says the apostle,"spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" |
49618 | If Thou, O Lord, shouldst mark iniquity, O Lord, who shall stand? |
49618 | Is thine eye evil because I am good? |
49618 | Is this vile world a friend to grace to help me on to God? |
49618 | Lovest thou me--is the question,"more than these,"and where is the evidence? |
49618 | Lovest thou_ me_? |
49618 | Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou_ me_? |
49618 | Thou fool, this hour thy soul shall be required of thee,--and how do you know whether the next summons may not mean you? |
49618 | What are you doing? |
49618 | What hast thou that thou hast not received? |
49618 | What is there to confirmation?--teaching children in their teens to confess a faith they do not half comprehend? |
49618 | What shall it profit a man if he should gain the whole world and lose his own soul? |
49618 | What''s the use of going to church? 49618 What''s the use of going to the Lord''s Supper? |
49618 | Which of you,He challenged His enemies,"convinceth me of sin?" |
49618 | Who by searching,asks Job,"can find out God? |
49618 | Who minds a monk? 49618 Why a priest?" |
49618 | Why instruct the juvenile mind in such fetters of theology? |
49618 | --that is, can such an idle, empty faith save him? |
49618 | A man? |
49618 | A more powerful one held him at his mercy; and what could he do to pluck out the sting of death beneath whose dominion he had completely fallen? |
49618 | After our own plans, doing things to suit our own selves? |
49618 | Again, when we are the recipients of gifts, we examine them, we give them careful scrutiny, we desire to know: What is that which we have received? |
49618 | Am I His, or am I not? |
49618 | And Elijah came unto all the people and said, How long halt ye between two opinions? |
49618 | And are the returns adequate to the cost? |
49618 | And are there any happy effects to be realized from the faithful performance of this duty? |
49618 | And by what influences and agencies is His will done on earth but by this organization established by Himself for that purpose,--His holy Church? |
49618 | And by whom, to continue the parable, will the separation be made? |
49618 | And coming to the Reformed Churches, which of them believes in baptismal regeneration, accepts Baptism to be a christening? |
49618 | And did not Abimelech, when about to fall into a like error, offer apology and make restitution? |
49618 | And even granted that everything shall be propitious in that respect, have you ever seen persons on a sick- or death- bed? |
49618 | And has that original scene on the shore of the Sea of Galilee and that question no concern and no application whatever for us? |
49618 | And having regarded the prevalency of the evil eye, what shall we say to it? |
49618 | And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits? |
49618 | And how can God blame and punish us for not being better than He made us? |
49618 | And how is this done? |
49618 | And how is this vital question to be decided? |
49618 | And how may I know whether my name is inscribed in this book of life? |
49618 | And how shall we observe it? |
49618 | And how will they look? |
49618 | And how? |
49618 | And in consideration of gifts so unspeakable is any offering of gold, or frankincense, or myrrh too large? |
49618 | And in what way, coming to the second consideration, may we overcome this dangerous evil, worldliness? |
49618 | And is Protestantism exempt? |
49618 | And is his appeal not applicable in our own day? |
49618 | And is the Church exempt? |
49618 | And is there a single heart among the sons and daughters of Adam that dare offer remonstrance? |
49618 | And is there a way of escape, as in the case of Egypt''s death and destruction? |
49618 | And is this a sin to think little of? |
49618 | And now let us regard: How should we read it? |
49618 | And now turn to Christ and His Word,--what does it say? |
49618 | And so, if I choose to remunerate these men after the manner that I have, what hurt or worry is that to thee? |
49618 | And that duty-- where does it begin? |
49618 | And that only- begotten Son, did He not love the world when He gave His heart''s blood to redeem it? |
49618 | And the sorry consequence of all this? |
49618 | And then, to conclude, the members of what Church are we? |
49618 | And think you God is pleased with the dregs of the cup, the refuse and few declining years of a man''s life? |
49618 | And this salvation is to be accomplished in what way? |
49618 | And to this brilliancy of light was added a clear and distant voice ringing through the air,"Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?" |
49618 | And to whom, as you examine the Inspired Volume, are most of its contents directed? |
49618 | And we should go borrowing to them, or hesitate to speak a modest word in our favor? |
49618 | And what are they worrying about? |
49618 | And what assurance have you, my youthful hearers, that you may not be among his victims in the succeeding year? |
49618 | And what can you do to rid yourself of this? |
49618 | And what did Jesus see in any of us to lead Him to visit us with His salvation? |
49618 | And what dispensation is made of this light? |
49618 | And what does a careful survey of that hymn- book reveal to us? |
49618 | And what does it possess? |
49618 | And what does that teach those of maturer years? |
49618 | And what does the disciple reply? |
49618 | And what is it? |
49618 | And what is more God- honoring? |
49618 | And what is that arrangement in respect to the future? |
49618 | And what is the superstructure? |
49618 | And what is to be done, with the scales always rising higher and higher and striking the very beam? |
49618 | And what is to be done? |
49618 | And what sort of a life is it? |
49618 | And what teaching? |
49618 | And what was the decision? |
49618 | And what was the nature of his offense? |
49618 | And what was there in it that is common to every case? |
49618 | And what will that destiny be? |
49618 | And what-- to consider the second and larger part of our discourse-- are some of the distinguishing traits of its members? |
49618 | And when it comes to the New Testament,--how are we to understand the conception of the virgin birth of our Savior? |
49618 | And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto His disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners? |
49618 | And whence was deliverance to come? |
49618 | And which are these lessons, and how may this enemy be overcome? |
49618 | And which are these? |
49618 | And which is it? |
49618 | And which is our spiritual sword? |
49618 | And who can resign himself to sleep, the emblem of death, and to his bed, the type of his grave, without saying a few words of Christian committal? |
49618 | And who has not heard and read of the Romans and the ancient Egyptians and Persians? |
49618 | And who is not bent with grief as he reads of David and of Solomon? |
49618 | And who is to blame? |
49618 | And who, during the day, can not find a few moments to lift up his thoughts on high? |
49618 | And why did He love man? |
49618 | And why is a deserter''s doom made so awful? |
49618 | And why not? |
49618 | And why, brethren, bring before you these solemn truths? |
49618 | And why, to come to our next consideration, why is this? |
49618 | And why-- that is the concluding feature of our contemplation, why has it visited us? |
49618 | And why? |
49618 | And why? |
49618 | And will you contend that the Word of God and the water of Holy Baptism make those who hear and receive it hypocrites and spiritual counterfeits? |
49618 | And yet is it not this ordinary, common- sense method, which they apply so keenly otherwise, that so many disregard in matters of soul? |
49618 | And yet, glorious as this all is, is it not true that the Bible is a book that is shut and sealed? |
49618 | And yet, was there no badge, no mark of distinction? |
49618 | Anything further than that the land was fertile? |
49618 | Are there no formalists among those who profess to be members of, and visit, our churches? |
49618 | Are we to say, I am very sorry, and thus hide our light under a bushel? |
49618 | Are you a man, or woman, of prayer? |
49618 | As you grow in age, do you grow in heavenly- mindedness, draw closer to your God? |
49618 | At present we have all living bodies, but in those living bodies, what is the state of the soul? |
49618 | At such times are we shy of doing differently from other people when we know and feel what is right? |
49618 | At that time it was,"Is Jehovah the Lord God?" |
49618 | Aye, does it not frequently call for courage even to be known as a church- member? |
49618 | Because he was so lovable? |
49618 | Because it solves, as nothing else can solve, the great problem of Religion,"How can man be saved, justified before God?" |
49618 | Believe it that when a man can look up like the man Saul of Tarsus, and say,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" |
49618 | Beloved, are we not rapidly falling upon such times? |
49618 | Beloved, as to what is the proper ideal and purpose of the Church, that is for Him to say who founded the Church; and what does He say? |
49618 | Beloved, is this not a particular which many who profess to be Christians do not apprehend? |
49618 | Beloved, when you reflect what this world would be without this divine Christmas gift, then we might well ask, Would life be worth living without Him? |
49618 | Below is its gigantic base; then your eye runs up the mountain side, and you see-- what? |
49618 | Bind yourself? |
49618 | But are we quite sure that we have not imbibed a little of it unconsciously? |
49618 | But does he, therefore, desist from completing the structure? |
49618 | But does not the Bible teach that"by one sacrifice,"_ viz._, by His sacrifice upon Golgotha,"Christ hath forever perfected them that are sanctified"? |
49618 | But does not the Church of Rome believe that too? |
49618 | But had the man nevertheless gone back to his sinful life, would that have made the healing of no account? |
49618 | But have those that so feel ever thought it over? |
49618 | But have you, my dear hearers, ever known of a noble and holy work, no matter what it is, that did not meet with some criticism? |
49618 | But how can the lamb cope with the lion? |
49618 | But how do we secure this satisfaction of an almighty Savior? |
49618 | But how was it to be done? |
49618 | But how were those two mites viewed by Him whose eyes were as a flame of fire, and who searcheth the reins and the hearts? |
49618 | But is it not a delusion? |
49618 | But it was now too late, and yet, whose fault was it? |
49618 | But let us ask ourselves, What if everybody around us did not do so? |
49618 | But let us come to the final question: By what power or remedy does Christian Science heal, or, rather, claim to heal? |
49618 | But shall we abandon to him the territory? |
49618 | But since when are silver and gold and splendid edifices the marks of the Church? |
49618 | But these things must be put in their right place; and which is that? |
49618 | But to whose efforts is this mainly due? |
49618 | But what advantage have they over us? |
49618 | But what means that statue at His side-- whose is it? |
49618 | But what of an explanation of these apparently so contradictory passages? |
49618 | But what say the Scriptures? |
49618 | But when it comes to the questions: Who is God? |
49618 | But where is now his vow, where his altar, where the tenth of all his possessions, as he had promised? |
49618 | But whose shall be the blame, who be the loser? |
49618 | But, asks the voice of our text:"Lovest thou me more than these?" |
49618 | But-- what when the entertainment is over, and your wraps carefully labeled with your name are handed back to you? |
49618 | By attending a few services during which we are present in body, but largely absent in spirit? |
49618 | By lighting up a few candles on our trees? |
49618 | By social science and service? |
49618 | By what are they to know each other and to be known of one another? |
49618 | Can any one take coals of fire into his bosom and not be burned, handle pitch and not be soiled? |
49618 | Can any two opinions be more opposite in appearance? |
49618 | Can faith save him?" |
49618 | Can the Church, through its called ministers, forgive sins? |
49618 | Can we think of these things, and not blush at our own selfishness? |
49618 | Can you bear to be thus slain by the Law? |
49618 | Can you bear to be told that, virtuous as many of you may be, you must seek salvation as sinners? |
49618 | Can you bear to have it forced upon you:"Be not conformed to this world"? |
49618 | Coming down the ladder of life, who were the people that murmured against the owner of the vineyard? |
49618 | Could Peter forgive sins? |
49618 | Could it be He? |
49618 | Could it be true that He whom His nation had crucified was indeed the Messiah, risen and alive? |
49618 | Could the apostles forgive sins? |
49618 | Decorating our windows and walls with some sprigs of garlands and green? |
49618 | Desiring to bear our part in that tuneful service, can our lips be silent on earth? |
49618 | Did God actually create man out of the dust of the ground, or is he the creature of evolution? |
49618 | Did He not perform a miracle, turning water into wine? |
49618 | Did he go to labor elsewhere? |
49618 | Did his health fail? |
49618 | Did not Paul love the world? |
49618 | Did the judgment- hall echo the words of the Philippian jailer,"What shall I do to be saved?" |
49618 | Did virtue conquer? |
49618 | Divorce, what is it practically, in effect, but enabling men and women to live in successive polygamy? |
49618 | Do men act with such infatuation in other and far less important matters? |
49618 | Do not most clergymen of progressive ideas put allegorical interpretations upon its stories, for instance, the fall of man into sin? |
49618 | Do not the hymns drag along at times so dull and spiritless because many never open their lips? |
49618 | Do the fruits of your discipleship abound in greater liberality and activity? |
49618 | Do these things not constitute the light of life of man? |
49618 | Do they think they can, as they claim, improve upon, perfect, that propitiatory sacrifice? |
49618 | Do we not read that God so loved the world that He gave His only- begotten Son? |
49618 | Do you influence it, or are you influenced by it? |
49618 | Do you know of none in your circle of acquaintances swept low by the grim reaper whom we call death? |
49618 | Do you make your choice of friends from these professed worldly men and women? |
49618 | Do you pray thoughtfully, regularly, cheerfully? |
49618 | Do you read God''s Word at home, say grace at table, have family devotion? |
49618 | Do you rejoice at His coming with holy joy? |
49618 | Do you, then, belong among the good? |
49618 | Does Baptism work forgiveness of sin? |
49618 | Does it not lie in the very nature of the Book? |
49618 | Does it pay to be one?_ To begin with, let it be noted that Christianity connects with cost; it_ does_ cost to be a Christian. |
49618 | Does it pay? |
49618 | Does it secularize you and make you unfit for prayer? |
49618 | Does it silence your testimony of Christ, and cool down your interest and enthusiasm for the Church? |
49618 | Does one contract good habits easier than bad, or the reverse? |
49618 | Does this doctrine sound strange and hard to believe to the carnal understanding? |
49618 | Education of mind, culture of intellect? |
49618 | Elijah''s question,"How long halt ye between two opinions?" |
49618 | Else why these perplexing anxieties, this tormenting solicitude? |
49618 | For the clergy, that the ministers might have some texts to preach on? |
49618 | For the determining of the question,"Is Jesus Christ God?" |
49618 | For what is a Christian? |
49618 | For what is a man of prayer? |
49618 | For what is man? |
49618 | For what is the Church? |
49618 | For what? |
49618 | For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? |
49618 | For whom did He cause it to be written? |
49618 | For you to live-- is it Christ? |
49618 | Formulated by the Lord Himself in the Gospel- lesson of this day, it now reads:"What think ye of Christ? |
49618 | From man? |
49618 | Go, and question among Christ''s followers, consult the thousands of books that are flooding the market,--what do they teach? |
49618 | Has death broken the family circle, and is the heart bleeding under bereavement? |
49618 | Has it ever brought you any gain? |
49618 | Has sickness prostrated one? |
49618 | Has that ever been done, you question? |
49618 | Have I not the right to do as I like with my own money?" |
49618 | Have they forgotten the First Commandment which says:"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness to bow thyself down to them"? |
49618 | Have you ever seen anything but a cross raise men? |
49618 | Have you ever, since connected with this church, made one serious attempt to reclaim an erring brother or sister? |
49618 | Have you grown in grace and in the knowledge of your Lord and Savior? |
49618 | Have you paid the first cost? |
49618 | Have you remained unmarried because some people have proved failures in marriage? |
49618 | He asks:"What doth it profit though a man say he hath faith, and hath not works? |
49618 | He had been persecuting the Christians, and now comes a voice from heaven, saying,"Why persecutest thou Me?" |
49618 | He saith to him the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? |
49618 | He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? |
49618 | He should neglect His loving providence, leave and forsake thee this year? |
49618 | He stands before us this very moment again, that omnipotent Son of God, that compassionate Savior, and asks,"Wilt thou be made whole?" |
49618 | He thought within himself:"What shall I do because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?" |
49618 | Helpless, powerless, hopeless creature, how could he cancel the curse that rested upon soul and body and ailing earth? |
49618 | Here is a man who insures his life,--why? |
49618 | Here was the voice of Jehovah Himself,--what could he do but submit? |
49618 | Here, then, are a few criterions, and now, with all sincerity, repeat the question once more,"Lovest thou me?" |
49618 | His great question was,"What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?" |
49618 | How about God''s Christmas gift? |
49618 | How can I overcome my worldliness?_ And may God''s wisdom and blessing attend our meditation! |
49618 | How can a man be a proper child of God who will not so much as give His name as a believer? |
49618 | How can any one who has looked up to that divine Sufferer in faith crucify Him anew by unholy living? |
49618 | How can faith in the Savior then be wrought, maintained, forgiveness of sins secured, hope and salvation? |
49618 | How can they be? |
49618 | How can they prove that the human race and language do not extend back to one common stock? |
49618 | How can they tell that this world of ours is too small to engage Jehovah so deeply for its welfare? |
49618 | How can we expect to conquer that enemy who conquered our first parents in the strength of their original purity? |
49618 | How can you thus be light- bearers, according to God''s direction? |
49618 | How could He secure it? |
49618 | How could I refuse to shun Every sinful pleasure, Since for me God''s only Son Suffered without measure? |
49618 | How could a man tread upon the waters? |
49618 | How could he tell when he was converted? |
49618 | How could the hearers do this if they were prohibited from reading the Bible? |
49618 | How did they get light? |
49618 | How do you regard the things of the world in your heart, and how do you regard the people of the world? |
49618 | How frequently does this lamentation reach a pastor''s ear,"What have I done that God should thus deal with me?" |
49618 | How has it been with the worship, the attendance at services? |
49618 | How imperative, then, that we should analyze what worldliness is and plant an interrogation in our heart: Am I worldly? |
49618 | How is it possible to work for God, or fight for Him, if we are tardy in holding communion with Him? |
49618 | How is that a proof of Christ''s divinity? |
49618 | How is that to be understood? |
49618 | How is the dispute to be settled? |
49618 | How many a one when he asks himself, How was it possible that I should have fallen so deeply and strayed so far from my God? |
49618 | How many ever give thought as to this providential dealing-- have stopped to ask whence it comes, or what profit and lessons may be in it? |
49618 | How many parents cooperate with the Christian instructors? |
49618 | How many times have you gone in these twelve months, these fifty- two Sundays? |
49618 | How often do parents inquire about the Catechism and Bible history lesson? |
49618 | How receive its spiritual and highest blessedness unto ourselves? |
49618 | How shall we face it? |
49618 | How shall we receive Him? |
49618 | How soon this may take place, who can declare? |
49618 | How was it at the time of the Savior? |
49618 | How was it possible for Timothy to tell when he commenced to be a Christian? |
49618 | How were the Israelites affected when God appeared at the Red Sea? |
49618 | How, I ask, can these things be? |
49618 | How, in this busy life of ours, shall we ever be able to give ourselves over to never- ceasing prayer? |
49618 | How, then, does this touchstone apply to you? |
49618 | How, then, to make a few direct words of application, is it with you, my dear hearer? |
49618 | How? |
49618 | How? |
49618 | How? |
49618 | How? |
49618 | I am clear from all sin"? |
49618 | If we are to rise, some to rewards and some to punishments, what-- let each conscience ask-- what shall be my position? |
49618 | If we see a relative or friend deliberately going into danger, taking a course which means ruin to his character, ruin to his soul, what is our duty? |
49618 | If you see young people neglecting religious duties, slinking about after dark in bad company, going with those who bet and gamble,--let them go? |
49618 | In other words, are you a sincere and simple believer in Christ Jesus? |
49618 | In other words, without figure, lay before you the question: Why are you not a church- member? |
49618 | In our own strength? |
49618 | In what respect? |
49618 | Is Baptism administered, the Lord''s Communion received? |
49618 | Is a doctor to be blamed for entering a hospital full of suffering invalids? |
49618 | Is financial depression over all the land, labor unobtainable, wages low, and bread scarce? |
49618 | Is ghastly pestilence mowing down its victims? |
49618 | Is it easier for a sober man to become a drunkard than for a poor, miserable, besotted drunkard to trace his steps back and to become sober? |
49618 | Is it much different-- to take up another point-- with our partaking of the Lord''s Supper? |
49618 | Is it not because you permit every one, without distinction and discrimination, to read the Bible? |
49618 | Is it not fitting that it should be so? |
49618 | Is it not just as incongruous, my dear Christian, for you to perplex yourself with thoughts of anguish that God can not provide for you any more? |
49618 | Is it not rather a blessed demonstration of His fidelity to his profession to go to such ailing people? |
49618 | Is it not simply a matter of convenience, custom, inheritance, yes, sometimes of fashion or of business? |
49618 | Is it reasonable to do this? |
49618 | Is it so now? |
49618 | Is it the Lord''s message, or is it some conceit of his own? |
49618 | Is it the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, as St. Paul says to Titus, chapter 3? |
49618 | Is it to torment you before the time? |
49618 | Is it, therefore, necessary that every believer should be able to designate the precise time of his conversion? |
49618 | Is my service thy delight? |
49618 | Is not ancient Greece with its music, painting, poetry, and the arts the model of modern states? |
49618 | Is not everything that we find recorded in the Scripture written for our learning, our warning? |
49618 | Is that all that his sickness was intended for, that is included in his recovery? |
49618 | Is that the best that God can give us? |
49618 | Is that the way it is in a well- regulated household? |
49618 | Is the Word of God preached in the"Big Church"? |
49618 | Is there a doubt? |
49618 | Is there a personal devil, or is the devil only to stand for evil in the abstract? |
49618 | Is there an explanation? |
49618 | Is there any sin the grace of Jesus can not pardon, or His blood wash away? |
49618 | Is there any wound this great Physician can not heal? |
49618 | Is there no halting, limping, swaying, and swerving between two opinions? |
49618 | Is there no indecision of conduct there, no limping, no dividing of one''s heart between Baal and Jehovah? |
49618 | Is there no outward ceremonial observance there, no form of godliness without the power thereof? |
49618 | Is there no page of your history that you would obliterate, no leaf that, with God''s permission, you would tear from the book of life''s story? |
49618 | Is there no speech to unsay, no act to undo, no day, Sunday, or evening to spend better? |
49618 | Is this right? |
49618 | Is this the fault of marriage or education? |
49618 | Is your name enrolled among the list of passengers? |
49618 | Is, to conclude, Christ such a light to you? |
49618 | It is Christ''s provision for the salvation of man,--how? |
49618 | It is an old problem and a constantly recurring problem: Why does God deal so, and why does He deal so with those who are His people? |
49618 | It is so with Him who asks"Lovest thou me?" |
49618 | Laughingly he rejoined,"You will never be able to do that, will you?" |
49618 | Listen to the trend of conversation, the topic of discussion in people''s homes-- what is it? |
49618 | Lives there a person so happy as to look back on the past and feel no remorse, or forward to the future and feel no fear? |
49618 | Lord Lyttleton asked,"What is the result of your work?" |
49618 | Lord, what wilt Thou have me do?" |
49618 | Lovest thou my Word, my house, my sacraments? |
49618 | Lutherans? |
49618 | Moreover, what are we coming to if we regard only the rich as under obligation to give? |
49618 | Moreover, what does all this envy of a fellow- man''s better fortune avail? |
49618 | My beloved hearer, what is the measure of your love? |
49618 | My beloved, have you ever reflected what a most excellent appointment that is? |
49618 | My dear hearer, have you entered into that ark? |
49618 | My dear hearer, have you undergone that change of heart, experienced that inner sorrow? |
49618 | My dear hearers, did this love ever in the history of the Church form such a distinguishing badge? |
49618 | Need I inform you what that typified, of whom that lamb was a type and shadow? |
49618 | No one among those with whom you are now living or among those that have gone before-- to whom you would bear yourself otherwise than you have done? |
49618 | Now, beloved, we leave it to the smallest child-- is this making Christ the foundation? |
49618 | Now, how are we to distinguish between the real and pretended messengers of Christ? |
49618 | Now, this is the most important part, how may it be overcome? |
49618 | Now, what shall we make of this wonderful dualism, as we may call it? |
49618 | Now, what shall we think, what say, to sustain ourselves amid experiences like that? |
49618 | Now, whence did this evil come from? |
49618 | Now, where should a physician be but with the sick and the dying? |
49618 | Of the congregation that is looking up into my face this morning, twenty, thirty, fifty years, where shall it be? |
49618 | One has only to look into one''s own heart, and what do you find there, good or evil? |
49618 | Or are there no tests by which to find out? |
49618 | Or are you able to say with the Apostle,"Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee"? |
49618 | Or do you claim you do not know how? |
49618 | Or do you keep your children from being educated because some educated people are great rascals? |
49618 | Or need we any examples for what harm they have done? |
49618 | Or what to him whose dwelling is in flames, to place a ladder for his rescue, if he will not so much as step upon it? |
49618 | Or, in other words, Is He, Jesus Christ, God? |
49618 | Others come with a commendable degree of regularity, but is there participation in the services and punctuality in arriving? |
49618 | Our question is,_ Why_ does the needle so turn? |
49618 | Over against this, what possessions does our Church glory in? |
49618 | Overcome with remorse, Saul raises his sightless eyeballs on high and asks,"Who art Thou, O Lord?" |
49618 | Peter was grieved because He said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? |
49618 | Prayer: What is there to it? |
49618 | Rather, should I say, who has made that which is great and grand in art, in music, in literature-- the masterpieces, the sublimest productions? |
49618 | Read those letters:"Wanting,"and ask yourself, Does that mean me? |
49618 | Saints and popes? |
49618 | Shall I for that reason keep my hands from filling grapes into my church basket? |
49618 | Shall the Savior say unto thee as Delilah said unto Samson:"How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me?" |
49618 | Shall we not make reprisal upon the enemy, consecrate to the divine Giver His first- fruits? |
49618 | Shall we refuse to take it? |
49618 | Shall we say that we will have none of it? |
49618 | Should we therefore avoid it and dislike it? |
49618 | Should we therefore dislike it, reject it, or should we cleanse the furniture and the floor? |
49618 | Should you, because you are no church officer or esteemed pillar in the sanctuary? |
49618 | Simple, is it not? |
49618 | Simply enough; a man who has been in the very grip of the last enemy and has recovered, can not but reason thus:"What if I had died? |
49618 | So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these? |
49618 | Something within us-- something confined to this world? |
49618 | Support of body? |
49618 | Take, drink; this is my blood,"literally or figuratively,"is"meaning"represents"? |
49618 | Taking up some practical lessons on the subject of conversion: What was there in St. Paul''s case that need not be looked for in other cases? |
49618 | That question is,"What''s the use? |
49618 | That where faith in Jesus Christ exists, it must show itself by works._ To begin with,--what is it for a man to be justified? |
49618 | The Mother of Protestantism,--what church is it? |
49618 | The application of all this? |
49618 | The civilization of to- day-- whose product is it but of His religion? |
49618 | The difference? |
49618 | The divine Householder still has occasion to ask,"Is thine eye evil?" |
49618 | The good old Bible Book--"is it really what has been claimed for it?" |
49618 | The malice of the chief priest, the treachery of Judas, the cowardice of Pontius Pilate? |
49618 | The narrative of Balaam, or Jonah, of the men in the fiery oven,--are they to be received as they read? |
49618 | The only determining factor in this, as in all articles of our religious belief, is, What saith the Scripture? |
49618 | The question at issue:"Is the Lord God? |
49618 | The reflections, my beloved, and the constant cry,"What is the Church doing for its members? |
49618 | The supply of man''s foremost and chief requisite-- what is that? |
49618 | The truth had smitten to the heart, and then? |
49618 | The truth of his remarks, however, who would wish to contest? |
49618 | The voice said:"Cry,"and the faithful messenger said:"What shall I cry?" |
49618 | Then saith the woman of Samaria unto Him:"How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria?" |
49618 | Then why envy the man whom God has gifted with talents of mind and tongue? |
49618 | Then, too, when does the Bible say that a man can convert himself at any time that he chooses? |
49618 | There is none of us who fails to take a glance at the daily paper,--why not at the Bible? |
49618 | There was one thing they possessed, which is now so largely lacking,--what is it? |
49618 | These are faults, and when one is overtaken in such a fault, then it becomes my Christian duty and yours to restore such a one-- how? |
49618 | These men gave"much"( much when the amount was considered, much according to their own opinion and their admirers); yet, was it much relatively? |
49618 | They are sometimes disposed to cry out with terror,"What can it mean?" |
49618 | This child resting at His mother''s breast( who can grasp it?) |
49618 | This is our second consideration: Where? |
49618 | This night thy soul shall be required of thee; then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided? |
49618 | This we learn from the next point of consideration: Who shall be the judged? |
49618 | Those four words, and particularly, the one chosen for our immediate devotion,"Tekel,"has it no spiritual warning for us? |
49618 | Through whom has the whole Church been redeemed from the bondage of Antichrist? |
49618 | To David''s prayer,"Lord, remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions,"have you no solemn and hearty Amen? |
49618 | To a life of godliness, to a conduct becoming a Christian, to the duties incumbent upon a member? |
49618 | To amass wealth? |
49618 | To conclude,--there should be any right- thinking, calculating person that, having begun, will fail to complete the building of this tower? |
49618 | To conclude: How far, Christian brethren, have we been faithful to the admonition of the text? |
49618 | To discredit it is to discredit the Bible, to contradict our blessed Lord, to shut one''s eyes willfully against the truth, and what is it? |
49618 | To procure honor? |
49618 | To provide for your family? |
49618 | To repeat and publicly set aright one objection sometimes met with in our circles: What good does Baptism do? |
49618 | To serve the Lord, to speak for Him, is this your delight? |
49618 | To what end had all his efforts in the interest of true religion been if he was to be cut down before they could be carried through? |
49618 | To what extent has it entered, and does it enter, into your religious life? |
49618 | To what? |
49618 | Trembling and astonished he said,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?" |
49618 | Was it to conceal his grief at the fatal intelligence he had received from the prophet? |
49618 | Was it, too, dissolved, forfeited, lost? |
49618 | Was there not something very instructive in this appearance at such a time? |
49618 | Was truth victorious? |
49618 | We call this adding of the superstructure, consecration, and what does it involve? |
49618 | We glory that we accept the whole Bible, but who studies the Bible as a whole most earnestly? |
49618 | We had respect to the evil example of parents,--why, correspondingly, should it not make for good? |
49618 | We have in our midst a willing band of Sunday- school teachers; what are they doing but helping to bring the message to the hearts of our youth? |
49618 | We need only settle down to a faithful and impartial scrutiny with ourselves to find out,"Lovest thou me more than these?" |
49618 | Wealth, affluence of estate? |
49618 | Weighed in this balance, what shall we say of our Communion Table? |
49618 | Weighing ourselves, what report have these fifty- two Sundays to give of our congregation as a whole and of you, my dear member, as an individual? |
49618 | Well, then, what right had these self- constituted saints and judges to find fault? |
49618 | Were not the words rather applicable to the early disciples than to us and our days? |
49618 | Were they not common laborers, who had been hired to work for the day, day laborers? |
49618 | What Christian, arising from his bed in the morning, can neglect his prayer? |
49618 | What His purposes toward us men, purposes of damnation for offenses and sins committed against His holiness? |
49618 | What about them? |
49618 | What are health and comfort and wealth, and all earth''s emoluments in comparison with the life hereafter? |
49618 | What are these but the forms of godliness without the power thereof? |
49618 | What are they but vultures that feed on the carrion of sin, making men''s lusts and depraved animal passions a source of ungodly gain? |
49618 | What are those but just so many places and occasions of direct temptation to sin? |
49618 | What are you doing unto the Lord''s brethren and thus unto Him? |
49618 | What attitude, then, becomes those who have upon them declining years? |
49618 | What authority have they for their high- sounding, but hollow assertions? |
49618 | What benefit has it ever brought you? |
49618 | What benefit is there in being a Christian, erecting such a tower? |
49618 | What can afford me peace against a conscience that convicts me of wrong and offense against the holy God? |
49618 | What caused the twenty and three thousand to perish in one day, their white carcasses to strew the wilderness sand? |
49618 | What could he do to show the danger signal? |
49618 | What could it be, that moving form? |
49618 | What did He mean by"life"? |
49618 | What did that prove? |
49618 | What did the Apostle mean by"wood, hay, and stubble"? |
49618 | What does a foundation amount to if the superstructure be not reared? |
49618 | What does it cost to be a Christian?__ II. |
49618 | What does it mean? |
49618 | What does our Lord Himself say was His mission in this world? |
49618 | What does that mean? |
49618 | What does the king do? |
49618 | What does the priest do? |
49618 | What effect has it upon your religious life and professions? |
49618 | What else does? |
49618 | What good does food do you if you do not digest it, take the strength out of it, the necessary qualities? |
49618 | What good does it do? |
49618 | What guarantee has he to count securely on salvation if he refuses to say before men whether he takes Christ as his Redeemer, or not? |
49618 | What guarantee have you that there is a life beyond this? |
49618 | What has it been? |
49618 | What have you that you would n''t have if you had not prayed?" |
49618 | What hinders us from doing likewise, pastors and teachers, educating, tending, and feeding the flock of God? |
49618 | What if the incoming rays do show us the dust that lies upon furniture and floor? |
49618 | What if the spiritual Sun reveals to us our darling sins and ignorances? |
49618 | What if there was a St. Paul and an Augustine and a Luther and a Walther, and if to- day we have men in the ministry who quite overshadow me? |
49618 | What illustrations might I employ? |
49618 | What is His will? |

49618 | What is it that they are holding in their hands, busily twisting the beads while their lips move in devotion? |

49618 | What is it? |
49618 | What is its object in doing so? |

49618 | What is this but being ashamed? |
49618 | What is this but being, in reality, ashamed of His words? |
49618 | What is this but staying away because they are ashamed to confess Christ and His words before men? |
49618 | What is worldliness, and how can I tell whether I am worldly or not?__ II. |
