| 12261 | An old woman tended her; and when the girl was grown to maidenhood she asked the old woman,"Where do you go so often?" |
| 12261 | And she said to him,"What will you give me if I shew you how you may destroy the walls of this city and slay my father?" |
| 12261 | And why, before doing so, had he to pluck the Golden Bough? |
| 12261 | But how, we must still ask, can burning an animal alive break the spell that has been cast upon its fellows by a witch or a warlock? |
| 12261 | But it did him little good; for one ox said to another ox,"What shall we do to- morrow?" |
| 12261 | But we have still to ask, What was the Golden Bough? |
| 12261 | But we naturally ask, How did it come about that benefits so great and manifold were supposed to be attained by means so simple? |
| 12261 | But why, we may ask, should the burning alive of a calf or a sheep be supposed to save the rest of the herd or the flock from the murrain? |
| 12261 | Can this use of a wheel as a talisman against witchcraft be derived from the practice of rolling fiery wheels down hill for a similar purpose? |
| 12261 | For not being herself fertilized by a spirit, how can she fertilize the garden? |
| 12261 | For who could ripen the fruit so well as the sun- god? |

| 12261 | Then you call out,"Who holds?" |

| 12261 | They say to one another:''Who was it who saw Sirius?'' |
| 12261 | Thus equipped they repaired to a spot outside of the village, and there the old dame with the kettle asked the old dame with the lock,"Whither away?" |
| 12261 | We have seen that at Spachendorf, in Austrian Silesia, on the morning of Rupert''s Day( Shrove Tuesday? |
| 12261 | What if we were to drive over and join the rest at the tournament?" |
| 12261 | [ 789] Can any reasonable man doubt that the witch herself was boiled alive in the person of the toads? |

| 12261 | and could the good- man and the good- wife deny to the spirits of their dead the welcome which they gave to the cows? |

| 30126 | But suppose a man should seek to know spiritual truth and yet refuse to surrender his heart to Christ in faith, then what? |
| 30126 | But suppose the inquirer doubts the possibility of entering into a scientific knowledge of spiritual truth by following this formula, what then? |
| 30126 | For Satan raised a question about the Word,--"Yea, hath God said?" |
| 30126 | For how can faith in an inerrant Bible and unbelief in its inerrancy abide in harmony in the same house? |
| 30126 | For how can finite man relate and interpret the few and scattered facts he discovers in the realm of infinite truth? |
| 30126 | Foster, in the Chicago University Divinity School: Is there no place to assail Christianity but a divinity school? |
| 30126 | God responsible for the unspeakable woe and the unmeasured suffering of man? |
| 30126 | God the author of that inherent force in man''s nature which has filled the earth with hatred, violence, bloodshed, and death? |
| 30126 | Has present- day science anything to say about this? |
| 30126 | How can a man by searching find out God? |
| 30126 | How can a man follow such methods and yet imagine that he is scientific? |
| 30126 | If the Bible is not a reliable guide in facts, how do we know that it is a trustworthy guide in doctrine? |
| 30126 | In spite of the collapse of the supposed biological proofs, are there any tangible and scientifically established proofs in the geological realm? |
| 30126 | Is a theological seminary an appropriate place for a general massacre of Christian doctrine? |
| 30126 | Is pantheism true? |
| 30126 | Is there no one to write infidel books except the professors of Christian theology? |
| 30126 | These questions are: If the Bible is wrong in history, what guarantee is there that it is right in morals? |
| 30126 | What can this mean but that Spencer saw, at least dimly, the radical difference between the intellectual and the spiritual faculties? |
| 30126 | What reason more can the Church want to justify her for intolerance of a theory that will do this to a man''s faith? |
| 30126 | When did the Church ever try to force a man, educated or ignorant, to give up what he knows to be facts in order to become a Christian? |
| 30126 | When was a man ever asked by Christian schools to choose between the assured results and methods of scientific investigation and loyalty to Christ? |

| 1061 | But what shall we say when we find Mr. Gladstone citing the Latin thalamus in support of this antiquated theory? |
| 1061 | But why does the piper, who is a leader of souls( Psychopompos), also draw rats after him? |
| 1061 | During seven years he continued to inveigle little boys and girls into his castle, at the rate of about TWO EACH WEEK,(?) |
| 1061 | He cried out saying,''Child of my sister, how have you managed your thatching?'' |

| 1061 | Shall we then say boldly, that close similarity between legends is proof of kinship, and go our way without further misgivings? |
| 1061 | She is never to look upon him in his human shape, but how could a young bride be expected to obey such an injunction as that? |
| 1061 | Soon after he was stopped by the third thief, who said,''Brahman, why do you carry a dog on your back?'' |
| 1061 | The other, in his gruff voice, and striking his breast with his forefoot, said,''I am a Ram; who are you?'' |
| 1061 | What, now, is the common origin of this whole group of superstitions? |
| 1061 | What, then, is a myth? |
| 1061 | When the Brahman, who carried the goat on his back, approached the first thief, the thief said,''Brahman, why do you carry a dog on your back?'' |
| 1061 | Why are you silent?'' |

| 2513 | What is meant by an energy governing a chair? |
| 2513 | What is meant by saying that earth has a soul, and lives? |
| 2513 | What, again, is meant by saying that"the soul of the world is the Divine energy which interpenetrates every portion of the mass"? |
| 2513 | Whence, it may be fairly asked, did our deeply rooted belief in God as a Living Person originate? |

| 17194 | Against this evidence what is to be said? |
| 17194 | And we have to consider the two questions, What has Revelation to say concerning Evolution? |
| 17194 | At what point is there room in this case for any responsibility? |
| 17194 | But if a man do believe there is a God, what kind of evidence ought he to expect to show him that God has interfered in the course of the creation? |
| 17194 | But if it be his character, then follows the further question, what determines his character? |
| 17194 | But what causes these variations? |
| 17194 | But''Why askest thou Me to do this? |

| 17194 | Is all this mere chance? |
| 17194 | Is the future soul wrapped up in it from the first, and dormant till the hour of awakening comes? |
| 17194 | May not Science go back to the time when these processes had not yet begun? |
| 17194 | May not the starting- point of the history of the universe be a condition in which the simple elements were still uncombined? |
| 17194 | Now to deal with this second assertion first, we must ask what is the nature of the evidence that would be deemed sufficient? |
| 17194 | Now, how have these compounds been formed? |
| 17194 | Religion, on the other hand, tells every man that he is responsible, and how can he be responsible if he is not free? |

| 17194 | The sequence of things can not otherwise be explained; but why should the sequence of all things that happen be capable of being explained? |
| 17194 | This then is the answer to the question, Why do we believe in the uniformity of Nature? |
| 17194 | What evidence, then, is there in the world of phenomena that He has ever thus interfered? |
| 17194 | What is felt to be yet wanting? |
| 17194 | What is its justification? |
| 17194 | What is its source? |
| 17194 | What right have we to assume this Uniformity in Nature? |
| 17194 | What right have we to make such an assumption as this? |
| 17194 | What, if any, are its limits? |
| 17194 | Why should the wonderful grace, and delicacy, and harmony of tint be added? |
| 17194 | Why then should religious men independently of its relation to revelation shrink from it, as very many unquestionably do? |
| 17194 | Why then these attempts? |
| 17194 | and what determines what they shall be? |
| 17194 | and what has Science to say concerning Miracles? |

| 36767 | If a great deal, why not altogether? |
| 36767 | If the figure is glorified a little, why not a great deal? |
| 36767 | In truth, was such a person as Jesus is presumed to have been, necessary to account for the existence of the religion afterwards called Christian? |
| 36767 | In what order? |
| 36767 | Is Jesus the central figure in the Nicene, or the Athanasian creed? |
| 36767 | Is he the God of Calvin, or of Luther, of Augustine, even of Borromeo, or Fénélon? |
| 36767 | Is it not a weakness to love dreams better than realities? |
| 36767 | Is it true that it has worshipped Jesus? |
| 36767 | The Lord would come; of that there could be no doubt; the dead would rise, that was certain; but in what form? |

| 36767 | The question"What think ye of the Christ?" |
| 36767 | Where would the meeting take place? |
| 36767 | Who have made us think so, if not they by whom all amiable and adorable attributes have been claimed before? |
| 36767 | Who shall decide how much? |
| 36767 | Whose fault can this be, if not theirs who challenged the adoration of men and women and pronounced it consecrated because rendered to him for one? |
| 36767 | Why did they believe, in the face of the crushing demonstration of the cross? |
| 36767 | Why did they believe, when month after month, year after year, went by and still he did not return? |
| 36767 | Why not be content with the facts, and the more content, because the fancies are gone that disguised them? |
| 36767 | Would the living have precedence of them? |
| 36767 | can his picture be accepted as a portrait? |
| 36767 | meaning"What think ye of Jesus?" |
| 30900 | After we build our homes, make our cities and add improvements, what happens? |
| 30900 | And is it also afraid of that God''s supposed wrath? |
| 30900 | And may I answer for you, that he was where Moses was when the light went out? |
| 30900 | As I watched this fly in its labor, this thought came to me: Is the fly unlike the human being in its desire to live? |
| 30900 | But if we possess a soul and it is capable of passing through the many and varied stages that life suffers, what becomes of its impressions? |
| 30900 | But in the final analysis, what does it avail us? |
| 30900 | Can you imagine the wildness of life in such a jungle of cannibalism? |
| 30900 | Did you ever stop to consider that the child, when born, does not know that you are its parent? |
| 30900 | Do those who believe in such a creature ever consider him taking a bath-- and in what? |
| 30900 | Do you know and realize the suffering that we endure? |
| 30900 | Does it derive happiness when it is able to labor to make happy its fly Juliet? |
| 30900 | Does it love? |
| 30900 | Does it really think to better its species and solve the problem of its kind? |
| 30900 | Does it want to live because it is ambitious and is trying to excel other flies? |
| 30900 | Has it, too, all the agony of fear of passing to the"Great Beyond"? |
| 30900 | Has it, too, an imaginary God in the form of a Big Fly? |
| 30900 | I ask for what reason has Nature imposed this terrible penalty upon woman? |
| 30900 | If it is the"soul"that causes the functioning of the body, where is it when such an action takes place? |
| 30900 | If it is the"soul"that gives us"life,"how is it that we can materially and mechanically destroy it? |
| 30900 | If the fly''s desire to live is so great, what interest does it have in life? |
| 30900 | If we live after death, by what means can one person communicate with another? |
| 30900 | Is it afraid of death and of the mystery of dissolution? |
| 30900 | Is it any wonder that we grow up to be serfs and slaves? |
| 30900 | Is the use of a danger signal at a hazardous crossing, for the purpose of preventing disaster, pessimism? |
| 30900 | Is there a fly family to mourn its death? |
| 30900 | Is_ all_ of life worth the sorrow, the agony and fear of death? |
| 30900 | JOSEPH LEWIS_ January 10, 1928_ INTRODUCTION_ Where did we come from? |
| 30900 | May I ask, where was God, and what did he do, to stop this frightful nightmare of torture committed in"his"name? |
| 30900 | Or of eating his breakfast-- and of what it consists? |
| 30900 | What and where are the benefits of its retention? |
| 30900 | What are we doing here? |
| 30900 | What is there to repay us for living? |
| 30900 | What must be the horror, darkness and emptiness of those living substances that are"inferior"to us? |
| 30900 | What sort of crust in the earth''s formation are we to make? |
| 30900 | What will be the future living forces? |
| 30900 | What will be the product of the future living forces that will utilize the materials that our bodies will make? |
| 30900 | Where is the soul when we are in a state of unconsciousness? |
| 30900 | Whither are we going?_ These questions have puzzled thinking people since consciousness first dawned in the brain. |
| 30900 | Why must we be made to suffer such dreadful torment before death, since by eternal decree it is the common lot all must endure? |
| 30900 | Within the movements and actions of that fly was wrapped up the secret of"Whence did I come, and whither am I going?" |
| 30900 | X But after this life with all our pains and sorrows, what then? |
| 30900 | _ Why?_ Would you, reader, were it in your power, formulate such a method of reproduction? |
| 30900 | _ Why?_ Would you, reader, were it in your power, formulate such a method of reproduction? |
| 16942 | ''Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?'' |
| 16942 | ''Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you that God should raise the dead?'' |
| 16942 | And is it not probable that the materialistic position( discredited even by philosophy) is due simply to custom and want of imagination? |
| 16942 | Are you highly intellectual? |
| 16942 | But how if I attempt to think of such a series as antecedent to_ all_ actions throughout the universe...? |
| 16942 | But the answer always should be to move the ulterior question-- what is the nature of natural causation? |
| 16942 | But, observe, it is not one and the same thing to ask, Is the will entirely determined from without? |
| 16942 | Else why the inextinguishable instincts? |
| 16942 | Given the facts of heredity, variation, struggle for existence, and the consequent survival of the fittest, what follows? |
| 16942 | Hence the whole controversy ought to be seen by both sides to resolve itself into this-- is or is not the will determined by_ x_? |
| 16942 | How do you know? |
| 16942 | If He did not know, why should He, if He had previously''emptied Himself''of omniscience? |
| 16942 | If determined from without, is there any room for freedom, in the sense required for saving the doctrine of moral responsibility? |
| 16942 | If it is said that they in turn were determined by the outcome of previous systems, how about these systems? |
| 16942 | If the''first Man''was allegorical, why not the''second''? |
| 16942 | Is it phenomenal or ontological; ultimate or derivative? |
| 16942 | Is it said that there are compensating enjoyments? |
| 16942 | Is it satisfactory? |
| 16942 | Or are you but a peasant in your parish church, with knowledge of little else than your Bible? |
| 16942 | Or how can it be said that, in point of fact, there_ has_ been a waste, or_ has_ been a sacrifice? |
| 16942 | Or if form were supposed necessary for man as distinguished from God, that he was to be an angel? |
| 16942 | The important question for us is, Has God spoken through the medium of our religious instincts? |
| 16942 | The question is only: Is such a process_ per se_ incompatible with the hypothesis of design? |
| 16942 | The question is, Are these facts of adaptation_ per se_ sufficient evidence of design as their cause? |
| 16942 | What then is he to do? |
| 16942 | What, then, is the value of the inference? |
| 16942 | Why was it not said that the''soul''alone should survive as a disembodied''spirit''? |
| 16942 | Will the teleologist maintain that this selective process is itself indicative of special design? |
| 16942 | _ from without_? |
| 16942 | and Is the will entirely determined by natural causation(_ x_)? |
| 16942 | is or is not mechanical causation''the outward and visible form of an inward and spiritual grace''? |
| 16942 | moral, aesthetic, religious faculties)? |
| 36800 | But he answered and said unto him that told him, Who is my mother? 36800 And can any rational inquirer be astonished at that? 36800 And if we are to give to every one that asketh, what are our vagrancy laws but a flagrant violation of Christianity? 36800 And the stone was still against the door, and they said, Who shall roll us away the stone? 36800 And while they yet believed not for joy and wondered, he said unto them,Have ye here any meat?" |
| 36800 | God is_ not_ the God of the_ dead_, but of the_ living_,"What then is the use of Catholic prayers for the souls of those in Purgatory? |
| 36800 | Have not the Jesuits carried out this advice? |
| 36800 | He said--"The baptism of John, whence was it? |
| 36800 | He saith unto them, But whom say_ ye_ that I am?" |
| 36800 | How could Jesus see from one spot all the kingdoms of the world? |
| 36800 | If any one smites us on the right cheek, do we not quickly turn and hit him on the left? |
| 36800 | If this is so, what becomes of the hope which believers in immortality have that in heaven they will be joined again to those they have lost on earth? |
| 36800 | In the morning he was bound and led before Pilate the governor, who asked him,"Art thou the king of the Jews?" |
| 36800 | Instead of showing any penitence, he pertly answered,"How is it that ye sought me? |
| 36800 | Is this an instance of meekness? |
| 36800 | Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? |
| 36800 | So after all, who knows that they found the right babe at last? |
| 36800 | When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of Man am? |
| 36800 | When asked whether it was lawful to render tribute unto Cæsar, he said, looking at a coin,"Whose is this image and superscription?" |
| 36800 | Who in his senses would think of doing so? |
| 36800 | Who would stand by and allow others to do it? |
| 36800 | Ye fools, did not he that made that which is_ without_, make that which it_ within_ also?" |
| 36800 | and who are my brethren? |
| 36800 | from heaven, or of men?" |
| 36800 | or, what shall we drink? |
| 36800 | or, wherewithal shall we be clothed?" |
| 36800 | wist ye not that I must be about my Father''s business?" |
| 2330 | And if so, what is it? |
| 2330 | Animals,he argues,"do not become spirits after death; why should man alone undergo this change? |
| 2330 | Any slip of a boy may be that,replied Ch''in;"why not I?" |
| 2330 | But all men die whether they have found the truth or not, urged the questioner; what then is the difference between them? 2330 But,"argued the Sage,"we support our dogs and our horses; without reverence, what is there to distinguish one from the other?" |
| 2330 | Has God a head? |
| 2330 | Has God a surname? |
| 2330 | Has God feet? |
| 2330 | Has God got ears? |
| 2330 | How do you know that? |
| 2330 | If the soul comes back, the man lives, answered Mou; but if it does not, whither does it go? 2330 If then spirits have neither sound nor form nor substance, are they consequently non- existent? |
| 2330 | Is consciousness dispersed after death, or does it still exist? |
| 2330 | Of course,replied the disbeliever,"many people have seen and heard spirits; but is there any instance of a properly verified appearance?" |
| 2330 | What have these creatures to do with the matter? |
| 2330 | Where is He? |
| 2330 | Another question was,"As Nu- ch''i had no husband, how could she bear nine sons?" |
| 2330 | At death the soul reverts to its original state: how then can it possess consciousness? |
| 2330 | But if men sacrifice men, who will enjoy the offering?" |
| 2330 | But why wait until time is pressing, and man''s skill of no further avail? |
| 2330 | Can it be possible that what man regards as evil, God regards as good, and_ vice versa_? |
| 2330 | Can you expect your prayers to be answered?" |
| 2330 | Did not God give her comfort? |
| 2330 | Did not Lao Tzu say,''The reason why I suffer so much is because I have a body''? |
| 2330 | From of old until now the people have constantly seen and heard spiritual beings; how then can you say they do not exist? |
| 2330 | Had He not accepted her sacrifice, So that thus easily she brought forth her son? |
| 2330 | How can it become a spirit? |
| 2330 | How did she give birth to them? |
| 2330 | How is praying for rain asking a favour? |
| 2330 | How so? |
| 2330 | How then can you ask what is the difference?" |
| 2330 | How then should we dare to offer up a man? |
| 2330 | If He allows good men to be put upon, and evil men to be a source of fear, is not this to admit that God has His likes and dislikes? |
| 2330 | If He had no feet, how could He step?" |
| 2330 | If He had not ears, how could He hear it?" |
| 2330 | If he is already dead, to whom do they call? |
| 2330 | If something brushes against me, and I grab at, but do not seize it,--is that a spirit? |
| 2330 | If the five sacrificial animals may not be used promiscuously, how much less can a feudal prince be offered up?" |
| 2330 | If there is something in the room, and I look for it but can not see it,--is that a spirit? |
| 2330 | If they had never seen nor heard them, could people say that they existed?" |
| 2330 | Is it that God is unable to determine the characteristics of each, and lets each follow its own bent and develop good or evil accordingly? |
| 2330 | It is not; for if spirits are soundless and formless, how can they have substance? |
| 2330 | So long as God does not destroy this wisdom, what can the people of K''uang do to me?" |
| 2330 | Some are wanting in virtue, and will not acknowledge their transgressions; only when God chastens them do they cry, What are we to do?" |
| 2330 | The envoy took upon himself to catechise the philosopher, with the following result:--"You are engaged in study, are you not?" |
| 2330 | To one who asked about God, he replied,"What have I to do with God? |
| 2330 | Wei Tao Tzu asked Yu Li Tzu, saying,"Is it true that God loves good and hates evil?" |
| 2330 | What crime have my people committed now, That God sends down death and disorder, And famine comes upon us again? |
| 2330 | Where then is God''s love of good and hatred of evil?" |
| 2330 | Where then shall God be found? |
| 2330 | Why in spring and summer? |
| 2330 | Why not in autumn and winter? |
| 2330 | Why so? |
| 10684 | And if only some deserve credence, who, except reason,[ 20] is to decide which? |
| 10684 | And what about the new species which were constantly being found in the New World and did not exist in the Old? |
| 10684 | And what is this but agnosticism? |
| 10684 | Can we be certain that there may not come a great set- back? |
| 10684 | Do they offer, for this is what we want, an intelligible reconciliation of the discords in the universe? |
| 10684 | Do you think to please the God you worship by this exhibition of your zeal? |
| 10684 | Had men so soon forgotten � the style of the divine artist �? |
| 10684 | How is this doctrine justified? |
| 10684 | How was it that the generation which saw the last genuine miracles performed could not distinguish them from the impostures which followed? |
| 10684 | If the story of Noah � s Ark and the Flood is true, how was it that beasts unable to swim or fly inhabit America and the islands of the Ocean? |
| 10684 | Is it incumbent on the State to respect the conscience of the individual at all costs, or within what limits? |
| 10684 | Is it not conceivable that something of the same kind may occur again? |
| 10684 | Is it reasonable, for instance, to pray for rain? |
| 10684 | Is the fairest of virtues considered a crime in Judea? |
| 10684 | Might not its expansion[ 42] beyond the Israelites involve ultimately a danger to the Empire? |
| 10684 | SAMUEL: Saul, did you obey God? |
| 10684 | SAUL: Well, who does not? |
| 10684 | Tell me, what is my fault? |
| 10684 | The question has been asked, which of the two systems is more favourable to the creation of a tolerant social atmosphere? |
| 10684 | What then would his neighbours make of him? |
| 10684 | When did they cease? |
| 10684 | Where did the kangaroos of Australia drop from? |
| 10684 | Why then does evil exist? |
| 10684 | Without the work of Voltaire, Rousseau, Diderot, and their fellow- combatants, would it have been reformed? |
| 10684 | Would more men be saved if all blindly resigned themselves to the will of their rulers and accepted the religion of their country? |
| 10684 | Would you think that a Mohammedan was governed by his Koran, who on all occasions departed from the literal sense? |
| 10684 | that some new force, emerging from the unknown, may surprise the world and cause a similar set- back? |
| 10684 | � Do you think to convert Mr. Eaton to your religion by embittering his existence? |
| 10684 | � Men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? � He was then denounced to the Holy Office of the Inquisition by two Dominican monks. |

| 11924 | All these events bring to a head the problem which has been exercising the cowherds for long-- who and what is Krishna? |
| 11924 | Are they not frightened at coming into the dark forest? |
| 11924 | Are you also filled with longing? |
| 11924 | Are you fascinated by Krishna?'' |

| 11924 | If they do not take us back, where shall we go? |
| 11924 | If, on the other hand, he regards his mission as still unfulfilled, is he to return to Brindaban or should he remain instead at Mathura? |
| 11924 | In what ways did he love the milkmaids and why has this aspect of his story assumed such big proportions in Indian religion? |
| 11924 | Is he afraid when he sees the rainy dark? |
| 11924 | Is he loath to leave his friends? |
| 11924 | Is his body uneasy? |
| 11924 | Is not such wild behaviour quite unbefitting married girls? |
| 11924 | Krishna tells him to choose whatever game he likes and the demon says,''What about the game of wolf and rams?'' |
| 11924 | O Krishna, Giver of Bliss, why do you not come? |
| 11924 | O brother, why not go to the pasture of eyes, the abode of bliss? |
| 11924 | Of which Indian god is he an incarnation? |
| 11924 | Or must he linger on earth still longer? |
| 11924 | Says Chandi Das: Will you see her again? |
| 11924 | Says Vidyapati: How can I possibly believe such nonsense? |
| 11924 | Says Vidyapati: O Lord of life, Do you not know the signs of youth? |
| 11924 | Seeing only the good in his nature, what shall I do? |
| 11924 | Should not a married girl obey her husband in all things and never for a moment leave him? |
| 11924 | The Brahmans of Mathura angrily spurn the request, saying''Who but a low cowherd would ask for food in the midst of a sacrifice?'' |
| 11924 | The cowgirls answer,''Why do you treat us so? |

| 11924 | Who were Radha and Rukmini? |
| 11924 | Who were his parents and how did he come to live among cowherds? |
| 11924 | Why does he sit beside them and no one urge him to go? |
| 11924 | Why go yourself? |
| 11924 | Why so much apathy, Krishna, beside the fig tree? |

| 26364 | A well- known man once was asked the question:"What becomes of a man''s soul after death?" |
| 26364 | Are not the great majority of the events of our present life completely forgotten? |
| 26364 | But under this view, what is the exact significance of the Judgment Day and the Physical Resurrection? |
| 26364 | But why spread these instances over more pages? |
| 26364 | Do you know the dogma of the Church and the belief of masses of the orthodox Christians of the early centuries? |
| 26364 | How have those deserved the partiality of fortune, who live in happy lands, while many of their brethren suffer and weep in other parts of the world?" |
| 26364 | How many can recall the events of the youthful life? |
| 26364 | I said to myself, what is this? |
| 26364 | In the first place, let us consider that phase of the question which asks:"Does the soul incarnate immediately after death?" |
| 26364 | Is it Reincarnation? |
| 26364 | Is it not perfectly fair and reasonable to consider these cases as similar to the absence of memory in cases of Reincarnation? |
| 26364 | Is it not worthy of our attention and consideration? |
| 26364 | Is that"something"connected with the"soul"rather than the mind of the child? |
| 26364 | Is that"something"that which men call Metempsychosis-- Re- Birth-- Reincarnation? |
| 26364 | Is this equality of opportunity and experience, or Justice? |
| 26364 | Is this phenomena to be included in the Proofs of Reincarnation? |
| 26364 | Rather an advanced form of philosophy for"barbarians,"is it not? |
| 26364 | Some other factor is there-- is it Reincarnation? |
| 26364 | St. Augustine, in his"Confessions,"makes use of these remarkable words:"Did I not live in another body before entering my mother''s womb?" |
| 26364 | The next phase of the question:"Where does the soul dwell between incarnations?" |
| 26364 | The question is, Will the immortal soul be born again in the same individual, physically transformed-- into the same person?" |
| 26364 | The third phase of the question:"What is the final state or abode of the soul?" |
| 26364 | Think of this-- is this Justice? |
| 26364 | This being so, why should we attempt to speculate about The End? |
| 26364 | What are the cause of these phenomena? |
| 26364 | What crime have they committed? |
| 26364 | What has Adam to do with your soul, if it came fresh from the mint of the Maker, pure and unsullied-- how could his sin taint your new soul? |
| 26364 | Who has not been seized at times with the consciousness of a mighty''oldness''of soul? |
| 26364 | Who has not experienced the consciousness of having felt the thing before-- having thought it some time in the dim past? |
| 26364 | Who has not gazed at some old painting, or piece of statuary, with the sense of having seen it all before? |
| 26364 | Who has not had these experiences?" |
| 26364 | Who has not met persons for the first time, whose presence awakened memories of a past lying far back in the misty ages of long ago? |
| 26364 | Who has not witnessed new scenes that appear old, very old? |
| 26364 | Why am I not a prince and a great lord, instead of a poor pilgrim on the earth, ungrateful and rebellious? |
| 26364 | Why are they here on earth? |
| 26364 | Why is not a wretched African negro in my place in Paris, in conditions of comfort? |
| 26364 | Why is the unequal distribution of the terrible evils that fall upon some men, and spare others? |
| 26364 | You doubt it? |
| 38485 | 176 we see it worshipped by human figures, with eagles''heads and wings, who present to it the pine- cone,= the testis, and the basket,= the scrotum(? |
| 38485 | 20, and ask what is meant by the phrase,"the hair of the feet"? |
| 38485 | After reading thus far, I can imagine many a person saying with astonishment,"Are these things so?" |
| 38485 | And what is the promise? |
| 38485 | But why? |
| 38485 | If, it may be asked, the common people are contented with a fable, believing it true, why seek to enlighten them upon its hidden meaning? |
| 38485 | Is it not because their ecclesiastics have adopted symbolism into their churches and into their ritual? |
| 38485 | What do men desire and long for most? |
| 38485 | What, then, was the Asharah? |
| 37302 | And pray resolve me, why must this false Title be set up as''twere by the King''s Consent, to worm out the only true one? |

| 37302 | And was it not possible that the E. of_ N._ might oblige his old Friends in the same manner? |
| 37302 | And what is holy Inquisition, but a perpetual Series of Murthers carry''d on in barbarous Forms of Law against the common Sense of Mankind? |
| 37302 | Any Cruelties so savage as those of the Holy Inquisition? |
| 37302 | Any Murthers so solemn, and religiously brutal as the Acts of Faith? |
| 37302 | Any Pragmaticalness so insufferable as that of the Jesuits? |

| 37302 | For what honest Christian can oppose a Rightful King in regaining the Possession of his Throne, which is kept from him by a Successful Usurper? |
| 37302 | H._ lately write a Treatise, wherein with great Learning and accurate Judgment he distinguished betwixt Religion and Priest- craft? |
| 37302 | Nay, were not the Doctrines of_ Loyalty to the King_, insisted upon more than_ Faith in Christ_? |
| 37302 | Suppose a Man should govern himself by the Law of_ Christ_, and go no further, is there any Christian Church which would own such an one for a Member? |
| 37302 | That which is only above Reason must be above a rational Belief, and must I be Saved by an irrational Belief? |
| 37302 | To what end have so many Persecutions and Penal Laws been set a foot by the Clergy in Christendom? |

| 37302 | What can be the effect of an unintelligible_ Mystery_ upon our Minds, but only Amusement? |
| 37302 | What was it but the Insolence of the Priesthood that brought about Father_ Laud_''s and Father_ Peter_''s Revolutions? |
| 37302 | Why must none be preferr''d to Church- Dignities, but such who come in upon this Title only? |

| 37302 | was it to bring Men to any one Point of that full Description of Christian Religion, which you cited from Sir_ Matthew Hale_? |
| 19051 | And what is our failure here but a triumph''s evidence For the fullness of the days? 19051 I am asked often: What is the relation of this movement to the Church? |
| 19051 | Is a man sick if the material senses indicate that he is in good health? 19051 And is he well if the senses say he is sick? 19051 Are they likely to displace the historic forms of Christianity, will they substantially modify it, or will they wear away and be reabsorbed? 19051 Are you true? 19051 But after all it did answer the insistent questions, Whence? 19051 Can the earth which is but dead in a vision resist spirits which have reality and are alive? |
| 19051 | Directly science began to offer its own answers to Whence? |
| 19051 | HALDEMAN_ Can the Dead Communicate with the Living? |
| 19051 | Have we withered or agonized? |
| 19051 | If evil is error and error evil and the belief that evil is an illusion is itself an illusion what is there to guarantee the reality of good? |
| 19051 | It goes on to supply an answer to the dominant questions-- Whence? |
| 19051 | Might it not demoralize those who have passed through the veil to be always trying to come back? |
| 19051 | The Eastern saint has sought to answer for himself and in his own way those compelling questions which lie behind all religion-- Whence? |
| 19051 | The old answers to the questions Whence? |
| 19051 | The reply came back in professional tones--"And what error are you suffering from this morning?" |
| 19051 | These needs and seekings are, after all, near and familiar; they are only our old questions Whence? |
| 19051 | True enough, the old questions-- Whence? |
| 19051 | We shall, therefore, the more insistently ask Whence? |
| 19051 | What do you give to a man to carry to his daily task?" |
| 19051 | Whence? |
| 19051 | Where, then, is the hiding of its power? |

| 22213 | Did any exchange take place between these rival sects? |
| 22213 | Did not the blending of the races result in multiplying the variety of disagreements? |
| 22213 | Did the success of their preaching mean progress or retrogression from the standard of the ancient Roman faith? |

| 22213 | For instance, Were all the men that perish together in a battle, born at the same moment, because they had the same fate? |
| 22213 | From what sources are we to derive our knowledge of the Oriental religions in the Roman empire? |
| 22213 | Had not a complacent syncretism engendered a multiplication of sects? |
| 22213 | Had not the confused collision of creeds produced a division into fragments, a communication of churches? |
| 22213 | How did the barbaric ideas refine themselves and combine with each other when thrown into the fiery crucible of imperial syncretism? |
| 22213 | However, can we speak of_ one_ pagan religion? |
| 22213 | Is his name derived from that of the Egyptian god Osiris- Apis, or from that of the Chaldean deity Sar- Apsi? |
| 22213 | Is it for reasons derived from their apparent motion and known through observation or experience? |

| 14120 | But do not the present appearances of his want of wisdom or goodness justify us in concluding, that he will always want them? |
| 14120 | But if he is perfectly good, why will he let them suffer at all? |
| 14120 | But if nothing visible can to us account for the operations of nature, why must we have recourse to what is invisible? |
| 14120 | But if pain is, as he says, in this world necessary for happiness, why will it not still be necessary hereafter? |
| 14120 | But if the opinions of men of great genius are to have weight, what is to be said of modern men of genius? |
| 14120 | But if this God is jealous of his glory, his titles and prerogative, why does he permit such numbers of men to offend him? |
| 14120 | But let it be asked, is it not absurd to reason with a man about that of which that same man asserts we have no idea at all? |

| 14120 | If the course of nature does not give sufficient proof, why does not the hand divine shew itself by an extraordinary interposition of power? |
| 14120 | If the justice of God is not the same with human justice, why lastly do any men pretend to announce it, comprehend and explain it to others?" |
| 14120 | If they are so often manifestly deficient in this world, what can assure us that they will abound more in the next? |
| 14120 | In other words"whether honesty sufficient for the purposes of civil society can be insured by other motives than the belief of a Deity?" |
| 14120 | Is not that alone an argument of there being no such thing? |
| 14120 | Is not the reparation of vegitable life the spring equally wonderful now as its first production? |
| 14120 | Is not this to be turned upon Theists? |
| 14120 | My countenance brightened up and I replied,"You are then, my friend, convinced?" |
| 14120 | Or grant that God made the eye, which can only see in the light, must he necessarily see in the dark? |

| 14120 | The Theist exclaims in triumph,"He that made the eye, must he not see?" |
| 14120 | To conclude he asks,"how it is possible to teach children caution, but by feeling pain?" |
| 14120 | What can be said to this? |
| 14120 | What more has Helvetius said than that? |
| 14120 | Where is that other ecclesiastic who will allow the same? |
| 14120 | Where is the absurdity of that? |

| 37876 | But have our mythic fragments preserved any allusion to show that Aurboda, like Gulveig- Heid- Angerboda, ever dwelt among the gods in Asgard? |

| 37876 | Is Gudmund an invention of Christian times, although he is placed in an environment which in general and in detail reflects the heathen mythology? |
| 37876 | Or is there to be found in the mythology a person who has precisely the same environment and is endowed with the same attributes and qualities? |

| 2395 | And the first robber said,"Who began that conflict, the frogs or the mice?" |
| 2395 | And then she said:"What is this strange sickle- sword that you wear? |
| 2395 | But why do I speak of other princes beside Celeus, our father? |
| 2395 | But will you swear that you will bring the magic treasures back to us when you have slain the Gorgon and have taken her head?" |
| 2395 | Could it be that Heracles had come amongst them? |
| 2395 | Did Nereus not say that a great labor awaited Heracles, and that in the doing of it he should work out the will of Zeus? |

| 2395 | Heracles slapped him on the leg and said:"What more of the heroic exploits of the mice?" |
| 2395 | How can I look upon a woman''s face and remind myself that I can not look upon Alcestis''s face ever again?" |

| 2395 | Wilt thou come with me, Thetis? |
| 2395 | With a great fear at her heart she cried out:"Dearest, has any food passed your lips in all the time you have been in the Underworld?" |

| 13433 | Where, then, did he get his information? |
| 13433 | Whose fault is it that two and two do make four and not five? |
| 13433 | Whose folly is it that it should be more agreeable to think that two and two make five than to know that they only make four? |

| 39015 | Who shall find the earth? |
| 39015 | Are not Egyptian Serpents all purely Nilotic? |
| 39015 | But admitting this, may not the snake, after all, have been but a symbol of the phallus? |
| 39015 | Is not your serpent a"rattlesnake"and, ergo, purely American? |
| 39015 | Is this an argument? |
| 39015 | Looking at it, he asked,''What idol is that?'' |
| 39015 | May we regard them as allusive to the Serpent God and the Serpent Goddess of the Aztec mythology? |
| 39015 | The base still remains to give us its dimensions; but what was its original height? |
| 39015 | Was it the tomb of some mighty lord, or sovereign prince; or was it alone a place of sacrifice? |
| 39015 | Was the serpent in any way associated with the worship of the sun or the kindred worship of the Phallus?" |

| 12852 | But looking at the Genesis narrative, who could suppose it to be a parable? |
| 12852 | But need it always be so made? |
| 12852 | But what possible reason have they for this conclusion? |
| 12852 | But why should there be a second narrative at all? |
| 12852 | Can all these things happen_ without_ such aid? |
| 12852 | Can it be believed, then, that protoplasm, as the origin of life, is self- caused, and self- developed? |
| 12852 | Can it be that the professor has for the moment overlooked one very simple fact? |
| 12852 | First of all, how did any_ substance_, however vapoury and tenuous, come to exist, when previously there was nothing? |
| 12852 | Here we must stop to ask how this protoplasm, or simplest form of organic life, came to exist? |
| 12852 | Here, then, he could distinguish and perhaps name the species; but what more was to be done? |
| 12852 | How are we to understand what was meant by the Tree of Life or the Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil, or by the Serpent speaking and beguiling Eve? |
| 12852 | How did he come to place_ birds_ along with fish and water monsters, and not separately?] |

| 12852 | How did it get its_ life_--its property of taking nourishment, of growing and of giving birth to other creatures like itself? |
| 12852 | How did man get the idea of a personal spirit or double-- no such thing,_ ex hypothesi_ existing? |
| 12852 | How does such a delicate ornament answer the demands of mere conspicuousness? |
| 12852 | How is it, then, that this is not the case? |
| 12852 | How so? |
| 12852 | How then can it exist in animals? |
| 12852 | How, for instance, are we told of the temptation and fall of man? |
| 12852 | If the_ days_ of Genesis mean indefinite periods of aeonian duration, how is the seventh_ day_ of rest to be understood? |
| 12852 | If this bee became extinct, the plant would die out; how can such a development be advantageous to it? |
| 12852 | Is it, for instance, the experience of the mass of men, as men, that the"fleshly mind is death, but the spiritual mind is life and peace"? |
| 12852 | Is not such a production and such a design the true essence of Creation? |
| 12852 | Is the account in the Book of Genesis true? |
| 12852 | Lastly, how are we to account for the beauty of autumnal tints in woods, or coloured_ leaves_ in plants such as the_ Caladium_? |
| 12852 | May I make one remark on this interesting science tournament? |
| 12852 | Now, in any case, the writer could have had no knowledge of any kind_ of his own_ on the subject: how did he hit on this particular arrangement? |

| 12852 | Why is Professor Huxley so angry or so contemptuous with people who value the Bible, whole and as it stands, and want to see its accuracy vindicated? |
| 12852 | Why is that? |
| 12852 | Why is the dental formula of the_ viverrinae_ different? |
| 12852 | Why not any other animal, or a nondescript-- a form which no zoologist could place, recognize, or classify? |
| 12852 | Why should stags shed their horns also, leaving them defenceless for a time? |
| 12852 | Why should the Jews have received that truth through the medium of a story of which the whole framework was false, and nothing but the moral true? |
| 12852 | Why should variation take certain directions? |
| 12852 | Why should_ development_ have gone in different directions_ towards the same object_? |
| 12852 | Why, again, are savages prone to imagine natural phenomena to be caused or actuated by"spirits"? |
| 12852 | [ 1] In what possible way would this beauty serve for any purely_ useful_ purpose? |
| 12852 | [ 1]"Have we not here an exhibition which can not be accounted for on any principle of natural utility? |

| 12852 | how comes it that natural forces and conditions of life so occur and co- operate as to produce the variety of changes needed? |
| 37694 | _ And the Lord said unto Moses, how long will this people provoke me? 37694 And sentence the human progeny to the latest posterity to everlasting destruction? 37694 And what is wisdom itself, but a portion of intelligence? 37694 Be it so, but is faith any more the gift of God than reflection, memory or reason are his gifts? 37694 But it is often observed of such a man, that he is morally honest, and as often replied, what of that? 37694 Could blind chance constitute order and decorum, and consequently a providence? 37694 Do they understand how to define or explain it better than God may be supposed to have done? 37694 Does this look like the contrivance of heaven, and the only way of salvation? 37694 For why might not a second religion from God be as insufficient or defective as a first religion may be supposed to be? 37694 How then came the injunctions of Moses, or any others, to be binding in such cases, in which they coincide with the law of nature? 37694 How then can it be,_ that God did tempt Abraham?_"a sort of employment which, in scripture, is commonly ascribed to the devil. |
| 37694 | It may be further asked, what is this duty? |
| 37694 | Much less, how can we, who live more than seventeen hundred years since the last of them, be able to distinguish them apart? |
| 37694 | Oh horrible? |
| 37694 | Or how can we distinguish the supposed divine illuminations or ideas from those of our own which are natural to us? |
| 37694 | Or is it not more like this world and the contrivance of man? |
| 37694 | Or that the divine vindictive justice should extend to their unoffending offspring then unborn? |

| 30306 | [ 10] The fact is unquestionable, but the question remains, In what sense were these people exalted? 30306 [ 7] Granted; only one would like to know what reason there is for not deriving virtues as well as vices from the same source? |
| 30306 | And if not called into being then, from what other source could they have been derived? |
| 30306 | And, deeper enquiry still, may not the religious interpretation itself be a product of the special environment of the period? |
| 30306 | But is it true? |
| 30306 | But why are we to limit science to_ physical_ facts only? |
| 30306 | Did their exalted sensibility really bring them into touch with a form of existence hidden from persons of a coarser fibre? |
| 30306 | First, whether or no these children were bewitched? |
| 30306 | Has science the knowledge or the ability to deal with the extraordinary as well as with the ordinary facts of life? |

| 30306 | How far may religious experience be explained as a misinterpretation of normal non- religious life? |
| 30306 | If the former, how can we differentiate between the mystic and the admittedly hysterical patient? |
| 30306 | If the latter, what ground is there for placing the mystic in a category of his own? |
| 30306 | In that case, would the belief in the supernatural have ever existed? |
| 30306 | In what respect, then, do the favoured few differ from their fellows? |
| 30306 | Is it a fact that the non- religious explanation breaks down so completely? |
| 30306 | Is there anything in later scientific knowledge that would ever have suggested the supernatural? |
| 30306 | It certainly leaves unanswered the question_ Why_ should people have drawn together in the face of danger? |
| 30306 | One writer pertinently asks:--"What does the ordinary seminary graduate know of the histology, anatomy, and physiology of the soul? |
| 30306 | Or are we to seek a less romantic explanation with the aid of known tendencies and forces in human nature? |
| 30306 | Or did it belong to a class of cases which in a more violent form comes within the province of the physician? |
| 30306 | Secondly, whether the prisoners at the bar were guilty of it? |
| 30306 | Shall I think of a mother''s tears? |
| 30306 | The question is, therefore, why should the line of growth, general with all at adolescence, be, in the case of some, diverted into religious channels? |
| 30306 | To what causes are we to attribute the persistence of this belief in the supernatural? |
| 30306 | To what extent have pathological nervous states influenced the building up of the religious consciousness? |
| 30306 | To what extent have people accepted the outcome of pathological conditions as proofs of intercourse with an unseen spiritual world? |

| 30306 | What are the causes that have given it such a lengthy lease of life? |

| 30306 | What does the ordinary graduate understand about doubt? |
| 30306 | What is the character of the force that binds the members of a group so closely together? |
| 30306 | What is the inevitable conclusion? |
| 30306 | What is the nature of this fact of sociability? |
| 30306 | What kind of evidence is it that throughout the ages religious people have accepted as conclusive? |
| 30306 | What kind of evidence is it, then, that has been accepted as proof of the supernatural? |
| 30306 | What possible scientific warranty is there for any such distinction? |
| 30306 | What, then, are we to make of those who experience a similar feeling, but who are without the certainty of eternal life? |

| 30306 | Why does the sun rise and set, why does rain fall, thunder crash, rivers flow? |
| 30306 | Why should the ordinary classification break down at this point? |
| 30306 | Why should this have been the case? |
| 30306 | Why should this normal change from childhood to maturity be the period during which_ religious_ conversion is experienced? |
| 30306 | Why, then, has not supernaturalism died out? |
| 30306 | With what else has religion always associated itself? |
| 30306 | With what else should a healthy religion associate itself but the ordinary motives or feelings of human life? |
| 30306 | Would Santa Teresa or Catherine of Sienna have used the language they did use to express their relations to Jesus had they been wives and mothers? |
| 30306 | Would it not have been like a tree divorced from the soil? |

| 30306 | Would the medieval monk have been tempted by Satan in the form of beautiful women had he been happily married? |

| 38107 | Admitting that a god did create the universe, the question then arises, of what did he create it? |
| 38107 | But what put all this matter in motion? |
| 38107 | Can the conduct of infinite wisdom, power and love ever change? |
| 38107 | Can we see the propriety of so constructing the earth, that only an insignificant portion of its surface is capable of producing an intelligent man? |
| 38107 | Can you believe that such directions were given by any being except an infinite fiend? |
| 38107 | Did any devil ever force upon a husband, upon a father, so cruel and so heartless an alternative? |
| 38107 | Did any devil ever make so infamous a threat? |
| 38107 | Did it ever occur to them that a cancer is as beautiful in its development as is the reddest rose? |

| 38107 | If an infinite universe has been made out of an infinite god, how much of the god is left? |
| 38107 | If evil is necessary to the development of man, in this life, how is it possible for the soul to improve in the perfect joy of paradise? |
| 38107 | If it was made by an infinite being, what reason have we for saying that he will render it nearer perfect than it now is? |
| 38107 | If neither matter nor force were created, what evidence have we, then, of the existence of a power superior to nature? |
| 38107 | If the account given in Genesis is really true, ought we not, after all, to thank this serpent? |
| 38107 | If there is no interference, of what practical use can such power be? |
| 38107 | Is it possible the devil was such an idiot? |
| 38107 | Is it possible to discover infinite intelligence and love in universal and eternal carnage? |
| 38107 | Is the infinite capable of any improvement whatever? |
| 38107 | Is there a Christian in the whole world who would believe such a story if found in any other book? |
| 38107 | Is there in all the religious literature of the world anything more grossly absurd than this? |
| 38107 | Now suppose that two atoms should come together, would there be an effect? |
| 38107 | Of what use have the gods been to man? |
| 38107 | Should any great credit be given to this deity for not being caught with such chaff? |
| 38107 | Supposing this to be true, what is to become of those who die in infancy? |
| 38107 | That what they are pleased to call the adaptation of means to ends, is as apparent in the cancer as in the April rain? |
| 38107 | Think of the amount of thought it must have required to invent a way by which the life of one man might be given to produce one cancer? |

| 38107 | What man, who ever thinks, can believe that blood can appease God? |
| 38107 | What right have we to expect that a perfectly wise, good and powerful being will ever do better than he has done, and is doing? |
| 38107 | Which of your by taking thought, can add one cubit to his stature? |
| 38107 | Who can bend the knee to such a monster? |
| 38107 | Who can pray to such a fiend? |
| 38107 | Who can worship such a god? |
| 38107 | Who will be his successor? |
| 38107 | Why not say, God has intelligence, therefore there must be an intelligence greater than his? |
| 38107 | Will God have more power? |
| 38107 | Will he become more merciful? |
| 38107 | Will his love for his poor creatures increase? |
| 38107 | Will the religionist pretend that the real end of science is to ascertain how and why God acts? |

| 20116 | O brother, why did you leave me? |
| 20116 | O friend, how can I live without you? |
| 20116 | Under what circumstances,he asks,"do you come to us? |
| 20116 | Wherefore did they bewitch him? |
| 20116 | Whose ghost is there? |
| 20116 | Why bury the dead at the foot of the Lông Blà ´ tree? |
| 20116 | Why need he die? |
| 20116 | ''Well then,''said I,''why do you not live a little longer, and trust to your god to give you an appetite?'' |
| 20116 | ''What are they crying for?'' |
| 20116 | Accordingly he asks the invisible passenger,"Shall we go on? |
| 20116 | And how many, or rather how few of us, on such a scrutiny would be so fortunate as to discover that there were no such inconsistencies to detect? |
| 20116 | Are they gone to Tongalevu? |
| 20116 | Are they gone to the deep sea?" |
| 20116 | But I said,''How could they hold the posts up after they were dead?'' |
| 20116 | But how are we to account for this marked difference of belief between the natives of the Centre and the natives of the South- east? |
| 20116 | But how can this be done? |
| 20116 | But the father said,"If the Lord of Heaven comes and asks me for one of my children, what am I to say? |
| 20116 | But why should it be acceptable to them unless it were in accordance with their own practice in the far- away past? |
| 20116 | Cries are raised on all sides,"Why must he die?" |
| 20116 | Do my friends love me no better than this, after so many years of toil? |
| 20116 | For a long time I planted food for my wife, and it was also of great use to her friends: why then is she not allowed to follow me? |
| 20116 | Has not science falsely so called still much to learn from savagery? |
| 20116 | Having thus ascertained whom they had to deal with, they questioned the entrapped ghost,"Who stole so and so? |
| 20116 | He means to say,"Were you killed or were you done to death by magic?" |
| 20116 | Hence a living man will say to his idle son,"When I die, I shall have ants''nests to eat, but then what will you have?" |
| 20116 | His reflections, as reported by the best authority, run thus:"How is this? |
| 20116 | How can I now avenge his death? |
| 20116 | How could he have the heart to return to the desolated garden which in his lifetime it had been his pride and joy to cultivate? |
| 20116 | How could he see dead people, he asks, if they did not exist? |
| 20116 | How could the poor fluttering things beat up to windward in the teeth of the blast? |
| 20116 | How could you kill so good a man, who conferred so many benefits on me in his lifetime? |
| 20116 | How did you conduct yourself in the other world?" |
| 20116 | How is it that men so commonly believe themselves to be immortal? |
| 20116 | How many of us scrutinise the reasons of our conduct with the view of detecting and eliminating any latent inconsistencies in them? |
| 20116 | How much shell money did you leave behind you?" |
| 20116 | How then could they find their way to the spirit world? |
| 20116 | How, then, can the poor women be sure that they will ever see their dear ones again? |
| 20116 | I asked him if he believed the shark, his god, had any power to act over him? |
| 20116 | I asked him why he was going to be buried? |
| 20116 | If he had been a bad man, the speaker would say,"Poor ghost, will you be able to enter Panoi? |
| 20116 | Is it genuine or not? |
| 20116 | Is it our experience of the operations of our own minds? |
| 20116 | Is it that by volatilising the solid substance of the food you make it more accessible to the thin unsubstantial nature of the ghost? |
| 20116 | Is it that you destroy the property of the ghost lest he should come back in person to fetch it and so haunt and trouble the survivors? |
| 20116 | Nangganangga, sitting by the stone, only smiles grimly and asks, with withering sarcasm, whether they imagine that the tide will never flow again? |
| 20116 | Now what is the intention of thus applying the blood of the living to the dead or pouring it into the grave? |
| 20116 | Seeing a Tatungolung very lame, I asked him what was the matter? |
| 20116 | Shall I tell him that I have given her to you to be your cook?" |
| 20116 | Shall we go to such and such a place?" |
| 20116 | Skipping from side to side he cried in stridulous tones,"Where are the people of my enclosure? |
| 20116 | So they beat and kill the lizard and say,"Why did it speak?" |
| 20116 | That is why some of the Zulus hate the lizard, saying,"Why did he run first and say,''Let people die?''" |
| 20116 | The father did not know what that meant, so he asked Death,"What is that you will do?" |
| 20116 | The first notion concerning death is that of simple rest, and is thus contained in one of their rhymes:--"Death is easy: Of what use is life? |
| 20116 | The ghostly tollkeeper detects the fraud in an instant and roars out,"So you would cheat me of my dues? |
| 20116 | Their mother heard them and said,"What were you two saying?" |
| 20116 | Thereupon a diviner may declare that he has felt a ghost step on board; for did not the canoe tip over to the one side? |
| 20116 | To every ghost that arrives he puts three questions,"Who are you? |
| 20116 | We naturally ask, What motive have these savages for inflicting all this voluntary and, as it seems to us, wholly superfluous suffering on themselves? |
| 20116 | What could a reasonable ghost ask for more? |
| 20116 | What is the meaning of this curious and to the civilised mind revolting custom? |
| 20116 | What is the meaning of this curious sham fight which among these people seems to be regularly enacted after a death? |
| 20116 | What then is its origin? |
| 20116 | What then is the kind of experience from which the theory of human immortality is deduced? |
| 20116 | What, for example, can be expected to result from a war entered upon at such dictation and waged under such auspices? |
| 20116 | Whatever they dream of must, they think, be actually existing; for have they not seen it with their own eyes? |
| 20116 | When she rejoined her husband, he was angry, for he saw Death and said,"Why have you brought your brother with you? |
| 20116 | When the ghost arrives at the place of passage and begs for the use of the ladder, the spirit asks him,"Shall I get my bracelet if I let you pass?" |
| 20116 | Where do you come from? |
| 20116 | Who can live with him?" |
| 20116 | Who was guilty in such a case?" |
| 20116 | Who''s that dead at the foot of the breadfruit tree? |
| 20116 | Why was that so? |
| 20116 | Will no one, in love to me, strangle my wife? |
| 20116 | With what keen attention, what eager haste, would he not scan the fast- vanishing characters? |
| 20116 | [ 564] Why should the dead man''s food and property be burnt? |
| 20116 | [ Sidenote: How does the savage belief in immortality bear on the question of the truth or falsehood of that belief in general? |
| 20116 | he cries,"he, my friend, with whom I had all things in common, with whom I ate out of the same dish?" |
| 20116 | he says;''whom are they sorry for? |
| 20116 | how can we investigate the ideas of peoples who, ignorant of writing, had no means of permanently recording their beliefs? |
| 20116 | or is it our experience of external nature? |
| 43728 | How could they do otherwise? |
| 43728 | Is there not an ocean of enigmas yet to be fathomed, a gold- mine of knowledge yet to be explored? |
| 43728 | Is there not poverty to be remedied, pain to be alleviated, ignorance to be removed? |
| 43728 | Is there not still plenty of labor for him to perform? |
| 43728 | Was man then inherently depraved and prone to evil continually? |
| 43728 | What is man''s future policy? |
| 33049 | Canst thou tighten the bonds of the Pleiades,[93] Or loose the bands of Orion? 33049 Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? |

| 33049 | Where is the way where light dwelleth? 33049 Where wast thou when I founded the earth? |
| 33049 | ''So careful of the type?'' |
| 33049 | :"When I consider the heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars which thou hast ordained; What is man that thou art mindful of him?" |
| 33049 | Again, were the separated light and darkness the morning and evening? |
| 33049 | And if this be so, is it reasonable to suppose that either, without the other, can be fully understood? |
| 33049 | Are God and Nature then at strife, That Nature lends such evil dreams? |
| 33049 | Are none of them constant in the one supposed species, and constantly absent in the other? |
| 33049 | Are not improved steam- engines or clocks the lineal descendants of some existing steam- engine or clock? |
| 33049 | Are they no greater than those which occur in other species of similar structure or habits? |
| 33049 | But admitting all this, it may be asked, Are these ancient records of any value to us? |
| 33049 | But may it not equally deride the faith of Elijah himself, when, after three years of drought, he prayed in the sight of assembled Israel for rain? |
| 33049 | But the question remains-- If there was a beginning, what existed in that beginning? |
| 33049 | But what is the meaning of evening and morning, if these days were long periods? |
| 33049 | But what made the use of these divisions necessary or appropriate? |
| 33049 | But where shall wisdom be found, And where is the place of understanding?" |
| 33049 | But with respect to the precise origin of this cosmogony, the question now arises, Is it really in substance a revelation from God to man? |
| 33049 | But, says another objector, is not the present the child of the past? |
| 33049 | Canst thou bring forth the Mazzaroth in their season, Or lead forth Arcturus and its sons? |
| 33049 | Canst thou establish a dominion even over the earth?" |
| 33049 | Did Abraham take with him in his pilgrimage the records of his people? |
| 33049 | Do these mark a different origin? |
| 33049 | Do they occur in points known in other species to be readily variable, or in points that usually remain unchanged? |
| 33049 | Dost thou know the poising of the clouds, The wonderful work of the Perfect in knowledge? |
| 33049 | Dost thou know the poising of the dark clouds, The wonderful works of the Perfect in knowledge?" |
| 33049 | Dost thou know when God disposes them, And the lightning of his cloud shines forth? |
| 33049 | Dost thou know when God disposes these things, And the lightning of his cloud flashes forth? |
| 33049 | Dost thou send forth the lightnings, and they go, And say unto thee, Here are we? |

| 33049 | How is all this to be explained? |
| 33049 | How, when confined to a limited region, could he increase and multiply and replenish the earth? |
| 33049 | If one, is He an imperfect or capricious being who changes his plans of operation? |
| 33049 | If so, why is the evening mentioned first, contrary to the supposed facts of the case? |
| 33049 | In Job, 38th chapter, we have the following:"In what way is the lightning distributed, And how is the east wind spread abroad over the earth? |
| 33049 | Is there ever a new creation in art or science any more than in nature? |
| 33049 | It may be asked-- Must we suppose that the Adam of the Bible was of the type of the coarsely featured and gigantic men of the European caverns? |
| 33049 | It may still be asked-- Were not the races created as they are, with especial reference to these conditions? |
| 33049 | Knowest thou the laws of the heavens, Or hast thou appointed their dominion over the earth?" |
| 33049 | May we not now dispense with them, and trust to the light of science? |
| 33049 | No more? |
| 33049 | Or the son of man, that thou visitest him?" |
| 33049 | Or who laid its corner- stone, When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy? |

| 33049 | The important questions still remain: When was this trade commenced, and how rapidly did it extend itself from the sea- coast across Europe? |
| 33049 | The questions would have arisen-- Are there more creative Powers than one? |
| 33049 | The words themselves suggest the important question: Are they intended to represent this as the original condition of the earth? |
| 33049 | Under the first of these we inquire-- Are they no greater in amount than those which may be observed in individuals of the same parentage? |
| 33049 | Upon what are its foundations settled? |
| 33049 | Was it a scene of desolation and confusion when it sprang from the hand of its Creator? |
| 33049 | Was it the water''s fathomless abyss? |
| 33049 | Was the old primeval darkness the evening or night, and the first breaking forth of light morning? |

| 33049 | What, then, are the facts in the case of man? |
| 33049 | What, then, are we to say of the imaginary"conflict of science with religion,"of which so much has been made? |

| 33049 | Why were light and vegetation introduced previously? |

| 32326 | ''Tell me pray,''said Ulysses,''what land is this, and what men dwell here?'' |
| 32326 | ''Then you will try a fall with me? |
| 32326 | ''Unhappy that you are,''cried Theoclymenus,''what is coming upon you? |
| 32326 | ''Was it fairly done?'' |
| 32326 | ''We are friends?'' |
| 32326 | ''What is your name?'' |
| 32326 | ''What news, thou beggar man?'' |
| 32326 | ''What shall be done, oh king,''she cried,''to the man who speaks words of love dishonourable to the Queen of Argos?'' |
| 32326 | ''Where am I?'' |
| 32326 | ''Where are you, Hesperia, where are you hiding?'' |
| 32326 | ''Where is our eye? |
| 32326 | ''Where is your own country?'' |
| 32326 | ''Wherefore?'' |
| 32326 | ''Whither art thou going, unhappy one,''said the youth,''thou that knowest not the land? |
| 32326 | ''Who are you, maiden? |
| 32326 | ''Who? |
| 32326 | ''Whose side would you two take,''he asked,''if Ulysses came home? |
| 32326 | ''Why be so fierce?'' |
| 32326 | ''Why do you raise a glad cry, my children?'' |
| 32326 | ''Why do you wake us out of our sleep?'' |
| 32326 | ''Why hast thou slain Deiphobus and robbed me of my revenge?'' |
| 32326 | ''Why have you brought a great shield, Hermes?'' |
| 32326 | ''Why make so much trouble about one girl? |
| 32326 | ''Why not?'' |
| 32326 | ''Will nobody go as a spy among the Trojans?'' |
| 32326 | ''You guessed the token?'' |
| 32326 | ''You never helped me in my dangers on the sea,''said Ulysses,''and now do you make mock of me, or is this really mine own country?'' |
| 32326 | ''You swore to give me a gift,''said Ulysses,''and will you keep your oath?'' |
| 32326 | ''You walked from Troezene?'' |
| 32326 | But Hector said,''Have ye not had your fill of being shut up behind walls? |
| 32326 | But Ulysses drew his sword, and Circe, with a great cry, fell at his feet, saying,''Who art thou on whom the cup has no power? |
| 32326 | But a mortal man we have never seen, and wherefore have the gods sent you hither?'' |
| 32326 | But how was he to find out whether he should have children or not? |
| 32326 | But she kept hoping that Ulysses was still alive, and would return, though, if he did, how was he to turn so many strong young men out of his house? |
| 32326 | But will you not abide with us awhile, and be our guests?'' |
| 32326 | But, tell me, do the Trojans keep good watch, and where is Hector with his horses?'' |
| 32326 | But, when he came to himself, he sighed, and said:''How shall we meet the feud of all the kin of the slain men in Ithaca and the other islands?'' |
| 32326 | Calypso said to him:''So it is indeed thy wish to get thee home to thine own dear country even in this hour? |
| 32326 | Can they be fairies of the hill tops and the rivers, and the water meadows?'' |
| 32326 | Can you resist King Minos?'' |
| 32326 | Did I not slay Sinis and Sciron, Cercyon and Procrustes, and Periphetes? |
| 32326 | Do they practise wrestling at Troezene?'' |
| 32326 | From your legs and shoulders, and the iron club that you carry, methinks you are that stranger?'' |
| 32326 | Have_ you_ got it?'' |
| 32326 | How hast thou borne to be thus beaten and disgraced, and to come within the walls of Troy? |
| 32326 | Is there bad news from home that your father is dead, or mine; or are you sorry that the Greeks are getting what they deserve for their folly?'' |
| 32326 | Know you to what end they are sailing?'' |
| 32326 | On the threshold he sat down, like a beggar, and Polydectes saw him and cried to his servants,''Bring in that man; is it not the day of my feast? |
| 32326 | She alone of the three Gorgons was mortal, and could be slain, but who could slay her? |
| 32326 | Soon they saw the light shining up from the opening in the roof of the hall; and the wife of Dictys came running out, crying:''Good sport?'' |
| 32326 | The dream was in the shape of a girl who was a friend of Nausicaa, and it said:''Nausicaa, how has your mother such a careless daughter? |
| 32326 | Then Achilles rose again, and cried:''What coward has smitten me with a secret arrow from afar? |
| 32326 | Then Calchas----''here he stopped, saying:''But why tell a long tale? |
| 32326 | Then Oenone answered scornfully:''Why have you come here to me? |
| 32326 | Then Ulysses thought that his heart would break, for how should he, a living man, go down to the awful dwellings of the dead? |
| 32326 | Then his men said to each other,''What treasure is it that he keeps in the leather bag, a present from King Aeolus? |
| 32326 | This man has slain many of my sons, and if he slays thee whom have I to help me in my old age?'' |
| 32326 | Thou hast not the strength to fight the unconquerable son of Peleus, for if Hector could not slay him, what chance hast thou? |
| 32326 | Thus she spake, and called to her maidens of the fair tresses:''Halt, my maidens, whither flee ye at the sight of a man? |
| 32326 | We may ask, Why did Ulysses pass through the narrows between these two rocks? |
| 32326 | What cruel men have bound you?'' |
| 32326 | What do you here? |
| 32326 | What want you?'' |
| 32326 | When Perseus heard that word, he asked,''Where is King Polydectes?'' |
| 32326 | When they were alone he said to Danae:''Who is the father of this child?'' |
| 32326 | Where is Diomede, where is Achilles, where is Aias, that, men say, are your bravest? |
| 32326 | Where is your ship?'' |
| 32326 | Will none of them stand before my spear?'' |
| 32326 | Would you fight for him or for the wooers?'' |
| 32326 | Ye surely do not take him for an enemy? |
| 32326 | Yet, tell me, how does Minos treat the captives from Athens, kindly or unkindly?'' |
| 32326 | You will come thither now and again, Hesperia? |
| 32326 | answered the nymphs,''how shall you slay her, even if we knew the way to that island, which we know not?'' |
| 32326 | have we not here among us many Trojan prisoners, waiting till their friends pay their ransom in cattle and gold and bronze and iron? |
| 32326 | he said to himself;''is this a country of fierce and savage men? |
| 32326 | how shalt thou free thy friends from so great an enchantress?'' |
| 32326 | said Theseus,''and is it not easy, even if he be so terrible a fighter, for me to pass him in the darkness, for I walk by night?'' |
| 32326 | said Ulysses,''did I not make it with my own hands, with a standing tree for the bedpost? |
| 32326 | why did he not steer on the outer side of one or the other? |
| 32326 | Ã � geus determined to go to Delphi to ask his question: would he have sons to come after him? |
| 40983 | And what church is that? |
| 40983 | Are our faculties impaired? |
| 40983 | Is our reason degenerated? |
| 40983 | The church of England? |
| 40983 | The church of Rome? |
| 40983 | Then why should the rest of the chain be miraculous? |
| 40983 | Then, when a subject confessedly has it not, ought we to expect from it those universal results which it could only produce by having it? |
| 40983 | Which then is the true church? |
| 40983 | Why should not the arguments of our opponents be allowed to be published? |
| 37697 | Who dare express him And who profess him Saying,''I believe in him?'' 37697 * The popular proverb,Is Saul among the prophets?" |
| 37697 | Ah, but was it not want that sapped their strength, and made them powerless to resist disease? |
| 37697 | Among the Crusaders the cry was raised,"We go to Palestine to slay the unbelievers; why not begin with the infidel Jews in our own midst?" |
| 37697 | And yet some will smile incredulously and ask, where are the men and women prepared to undertake such a task? |
| 37697 | Are we devoid of it? |
| 37697 | But do we educate them? |
| 37697 | But if the prevalent forms have ceased to satisfy us, can we therefore dispense with form altogether? |
| 37697 | But is this true? |
| 37697 | But let us ask ourselves what it is that alienates our sympathies from the ritual and ceremonial observances of the dominant creeds? |
| 37697 | But what large or effective measures are we taking to this most desirable end? |
| 37697 | But where I pray you is the sentiment of brotherly love considered as it should be? |
| 37697 | Can the laws of thought act otherwise than upon the material afforded by the senses? |
| 37697 | Can the mind feed upon itself? |
| 37697 | Conscience, righteousness, what is there new in these-- their maxims are as old as the hills? |
| 37697 | Could we not be free and strong? |
| 37697 | Could we not secure both? |
| 37697 | Denn wer wagte mit Gettern den Kampf? |
| 37697 | Did you not rebel against human slavery because you said it was wrong that any being born in the image of man should be the tool of another? |
| 37697 | For who, foreseeing that he can not always feed on healthy nourishment, would therefore sate himself with deadly poison? |
| 37697 | How are these physical processes connected by and with the facts of consciousness? |
| 37697 | How could they offer up their beloved sons for sacrifice, how could they give over their wives and daughters to shame? |
| 37697 | Is it in the hydrogen, in the oxygen, in the single atom? |
| 37697 | Is it not cruel mockery to say to these women that their business is in the household? |
| 37697 | Is it not true that something must be done, and can be done because it must? |
| 37697 | Is it the forms as such? |
| 37697 | Is not the fatality that so often attends our best efforts in this life, an argument against, rather than in favor of increasing felicity in another? |
| 37697 | Is not this an intolerable contrast? |
| 37697 | Is the God to whom men pray so poor a workman that he will change the mechanism of the Universe at their bidding? |
| 37697 | Is the course of the world''s affairs such as to encourage so flattering an hypothesis? |
| 37697 | Is there no outlook from this night of trouble? |
| 37697 | Is there no winged thought, that will bear us upward from out the depths; is there no solace to assuage our pangs? |
| 37697 | It is the martyrdom of the pure that has redeemed mankind from guilt and sin? |
| 37697 | Of it? |
| 37697 | Of what? |
| 37697 | Or the nature of the tree; is it in the roots, in the trunk, in the spreading branches, the leafy crown? |
| 37697 | Shall we rest quiet under the talk of irremediable evils? |
| 37697 | That all men are brothers, who did not concede it? |
| 37697 | That the world was ever created out of nothing, what human understanding can conceive of it? |
| 37697 | That we should relieve the necessities of the poor, who will deny it? |
| 37697 | The question returns to us, What is religion? |
| 37697 | There is this mighty riddle: who will solve it? |
| 37697 | To those who questioned him concerning religion he replied: Are ye then masters of the humanities, that ye seek to pry into divine secrets? |
| 37697 | Trammels of the flesh, contamination of the body? |
| 37697 | Was it not their life of pinched pauperism that ripened them for the reaper''s scythe? |
| 37697 | Were we created for misery? |
| 37697 | What single effort can achieve a change? |
| 37697 | What then shall be the form adequate to express the new Ideal? |
| 37697 | What was it that induced us to enter upon so perilous and for many reasons so uncertain an enterprise? |
| 37697 | What was the new revelation he preached to the sons of men? |
| 37697 | What was the startling truth he taught? |
| 37697 | What were music without the ear; what the symmetry of form, without the eye and touch? |
| 37697 | Whence did it come, whither has it vanished? |
| 37697 | Whither now, we ask, shall we turn for consolation? |
| 37697 | Who feeling, seeing, deny his being Saying I believe him not? |
| 37697 | Why should not beasts and rivers and stones have their ghosts like man? |
| 37697 | Why should we hesitate to acknowledge in the domain of ethics, what we concede in the realm of art and science? |
| 37697 | Why then call in the supernatural? |
| 37697 | avers, how could we account for the fact that Korah''s descendants filled high offices in the Temple at Jerusalem later on? |
| 37697 | or who, though he knew that the mind is not immortal, would therefore lead an empty life, devoid of reason''s good and guidance? |
| 37697 | whoever hears of it? |
| 42747 | 31:34)? |
| 42747 | But how can the Christian religion, with its monotheistic worship, adjust itself without antagonism to the ancestor worship of Japan? |
| 42747 | But is there no element of truth in Animism? |
| 42747 | But may we not approach the devotees of such a faith with the words of the old Hebrew prophet:"Have we not all one father? |
| 42747 | Hath not one God created us?" |
| 42747 | Have these broader lands and more numerous peoples sprung from other and greater gods than yours? |
| 42747 | IS SHINTO A RELIGION? |
| 42747 | May it not rather be that, as there is only one sun to shine on all this habitable world, so there is one Heavenly Father of us all? |
| 42747 | What mean the hundreds of thousands of white- robed pilgrims who annually visit the numerous sacred shrines? |
| 38104 | **Secularism: What Is It?" |
| 38104 | ****Why Are We Secularists?" |
| 38104 | * Buckle truly says,"Liberty is not a means, it is an end in itself,"But the uses of liberty are means to ends Else why do we want liberty? |
| 38104 | After taking these doctrines out of the minds of men, as far as reasoning criticism may do it, what is proposed to be put in their place? |
| 38104 | Am I deficient in the sense of duty?" |
| 38104 | And was he always able to direct his blow with unerring precision to one or other of those particular spots? |
| 38104 | Are there three places in the human body where a single blow will be sure to kill a man? |
| 38104 | Can it need miracle or prophecy, authenticity, or inspiration, to attest this story of the Jewish Jack- the- Giant- killer? |
| 38104 | Can we, in these days, conceive of religious persons being ignorant and dirty? |
| 38104 | Did Samson know those places? |
| 38104 | He said, moreover, unto me, Thine own things, and such as are grown up with thee, canst thou not know? |
| 38104 | How can he be a free thinker who thinks thinking is a sin? |
| 38104 | How did he know that? |
| 38104 | How should thy vessel, then, be able to comprehend the way of the Highest?.... |
| 38104 | If our towns and streets be made to give gladness and cheerfulness to all who live or walk therein-- is not that piety? |
| 38104 | If the Christian actually believed that the future was real, would he hang black plumes over the hearse, and speak of death as darkness? |
| 38104 | If the thousand Philistines"surrounded"him, how did he keep the others off while he struggled with the one he was killing? |
| 38104 | If there be moral maxims in the Scripture, what does it matter how they got there? |
| 38104 | If there is any revelation of God, it is truth; and what is science but truth ascertained? |
| 38104 | If they were_ sure_ of it, who of them would linger here when those they love and honor have gone before? |
| 38104 | If thou wert judge now betwixt these two, whom wouldest thou begin to justify? |
| 38104 | If, therefore, we send to heaven clean, intelligent, bright- minded saints-- is not that piety? |
| 38104 | Is it because the Christian doctrines have become antiquated, and does the church no longer adapt herself to the requirements of the present age? |
| 38104 | Is it not a higher morality to do good for its own sake, careless whether those benefited become adherents or not? |
| 38104 | Is it that the representative Christian thinkers are lacking in intellectuality and moral strength? |
| 38104 | Is not their motive proselytism? |
| 38104 | It will be asked, What are the deterrent influences upon which Secularism relies for rendering vice, of the major or minor kind, repellent? |
| 38104 | Men are continually injured by the truth, or how do martyrs come, or why do we honor them? |
| 38104 | My sole inquiry was, Did they contain clear moral guidance? |
| 38104 | Or is it that the world at large has outgrown religion and refuses to be guided by the spiritual counsel of popes and pastors? |
| 38104 | Professor Clifford exclaimed:"The Kingdom of God has come-- when comes the Kingdom of man?" |
| 38104 | The Bishop asks:''Whose words do you suppose they are? |
| 38104 | The example of self- sacrifice is noble-- but is it noble in any one who deliberately creates the necessity for it? |
| 38104 | The question will be put, Has independent morality ever been seen in action? |
| 38104 | Then answered I and said, What man is able to do that, that thou shouldest ask such things of me? |
| 38104 | Then answered he me and said, Thou hast given a right judgment; but why judgest thou not thyself also? |
| 38104 | To bring new beauty out of common life-- is not that piety? |
| 38104 | To change blank stupidity into intelligent admiration of any work of nature-- is not that piety? |
| 38104 | What are his hands for? |
| 38104 | What evidence is there that the unknown land is"dark"? |
| 38104 | What have you to say?" |
| 38104 | What is Secularism? |
| 38104 | What is free thought going to do? |
| 38104 | What moral good can arise from a narration which it is reverence to reject? |
| 38104 | What parents''love does not include the happiness of its offspring? |
| 38104 | What would be thought of a general who delayed occupying a country he had conquered until he had extirpated all the inhabitants in it? |
| 38104 | Whatever the reason may be, the fact itself can not be doubted, and the question is only, What will become of religion in the future? |
| 38104 | Where would science be but for open thought, the nursing mother of enterprise, of discovery, of invention, of new conditions of human betterment? |
| 38104 | Which marks thee? |
| 38104 | Why is it that Christianity is losing its bold on mankind? |
| 38104 | Why not light? |
| 38104 | Why should he be anxious to mitigate inequality of human condition? |
| 38104 | Why should purely Secular instruction be regarded with distrust, when purely religious education does not answer? |
| 38104 | Yet what has come out of his discovery? |
| 38104 | or whom wouldest thou condemn? |
| 21533 | Is this a reason against it? 21533 Is this hypothesis so laughable merely because it is the oldest? |
| 21533 | What demon is this that has taken possession of me? |
| 21533 | What have I done? |
| 21533 | Why act at all, the objection will be urged, if everything is foreseen by the Law? 21533 A man clothed in soft raiment? 21533 A prophet? 21533 A reed shaken with the wind? 21533 And his disciples asked him, saying: Master, who did sin, this man or his parents, that he was born blind? 21533 And once more, why not another time all those steps, to perform which the views of Eternal Rewards so powerfully assist us? 21533 And that which even I must forget_ now_, is that necessarily forgotten for ever? |
| 21533 | And would this chastisement, multiplied millions of times without the faintest reason, never have stirred the conscience of the Church? |
| 21533 | And yet, who suspected this until he had gone out for a few minutes and then returned to the bed- room? |
| 21533 | As a final example, do not infant prodigies prove that men are not born equal? |
| 21533 | As children have in them no sin capable of meriting so terrible a punishment, tell me what answer can be given?" |
| 21533 | Because the human understanding, before the sophistries of the schools had disciplined and debilitated it, lighted upon it at once? |
| 21533 | But Herod said, John have I beheaded; but who is this of whom I hear such things? |
| 21533 | But what went ye out for to see? |
| 21533 | But what went ye out for to see? |
| 21533 | But why should not every individual man have existed more than once in this world? |
| 21533 | Can he have been in one and the self- same life a sensual Jew and a spiritual Christian? |
| 21533 | Can no reply be given to this terrible charge brought against Divinity? |
| 21533 | Can the millions of descendants of the mythical Adam have been chastised for a crime in which they have had no share? |
| 21533 | Could divine Law be less compassionate than human law? |
| 21533 | Could the assassin, who has lost all memory of the crime committed the previous evening, change his deed or its results in the slightest degree? |
| 21533 | Did he mention it only to ridicule the superstitions of his contemporaries, as seems evident from the_ Timæus_? |
| 21533 | Did the Fathers of the Church teach Pre- existence? |
| 21533 | Do I bring away so much from once that there is nothing to repay the trouble of coming back? |
| 21533 | Does Plato take metempsychosis seriously, as one would be tempted to believe after reading the_ Republic_? |
| 21533 | Does forgetfulness efface faults or destroy their consequences? |
| 21533 | Does human justice, in spite of its imperfection, punish the offspring of criminals? |
| 21533 | Does not the man, who commits suicide, himself push forward the hand on the dial of life, setting it at the fatal hour? |
| 21533 | Does not the study of Nature, at each step, belie this insensate waste, of which no human being would be guilty? |
| 21533 | Goethe writes as follows to his friend Madame von Stein:"Tell me what destiny has in store for us? |
| 21533 | Have such arguments ever been justified by the voice of conscience? |
| 21533 | Have travelled over in one and the same life? |
| 21533 | Have you never had remembrances of a former state?... |
| 21533 | How can such frightful inequalities be made to appear consistent with the infinite wisdom and goodness of God?... |
| 21533 | How can we be said to have been banished from a place in which we never were? |
| 21533 | In the lineage of these prodigies has there been found a single ancestor capable of explaining these faculties, as astonishing as they are premature? |
| 21533 | Is it not rash for us, in our profound ignorance, to criticise the workings of a boundless Wisdom? |
| 21533 | Is it not sheer blasphemy to attribute such folly to the Soul of the world? |
| 21533 | Is it possible to attribute to the influence of surroundings alone a degree of moral poverty so profound as this? |
| 21533 | Is it the Church which has always imposed_ the letter_ of the Bible and condemned all who have attempted to set forth_ its spirit_?] |
| 21533 | Is man to remain in a state of dejection and discouragement, as though some irreparable catastrophe had befallen him? |
| 21533 | Is not the Law strong enough to save him, if he is not to die; and if he is, have we any right to interfere?... |
| 21533 | Is or is not that which is called magnetic effluvia a something, a stuff or a substance, invisible and imponderable though it be?... |
| 21533 | Is there a previous life the elements of which have prepared the conditions of the life now being lived by each of us? |
| 21533 | Is this another instance, like the one just mentioned, of tampering with the writings of this Father of the Church? |
| 21533 | Jesus began to say unto the multitudes concerning John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see? |
| 21533 | On Charpignon recommending that she should try to turn_ her_ aside from her purpose, she replied:"What can I do? |
| 21533 | Or because I forget that I have been here already? |
| 21533 | Ought not baptism to have been instituted immediately after the sin, and should it not have been placed within the reach of all? |
| 21533 | St. Augustine said:"Did I not live in another body, or somewhere else, before entering my mother''s womb? |
| 21533 | The question, however, might be asked: How is the transition made from one kingdom to another? |
| 21533 | To every awakened soul the question comes: Why does evil exist? |
| 21533 | WHY DOES PAIN EXIST? |
| 21533 | What is the missing link? |
| 21533 | What soul could admit that the innocent should be punished for the guilty? |
| 21533 | When Jesus came into the coasts of Cæsarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I, the Son of man, am? |
| 21533 | Where in Nature can there be found such lack of proportion between cause and effect, crime and punishment? |
| 21533 | Where lingers eternal justice then? |
| 21533 | Wherefore are thrift and foresight lacking in so many men, who are consequently condemned to lifelong poverty and wretchedness? |
| 21533 | Wherefore has it bound us so closely to each other? |
| 21533 | Who is to interpret the Bible if it is an allegorical book? |
| 21533 | Who would affirm that the dimensions of space are limited to four? |
| 21533 | Why does the astral body leave the physical during sleep? |
| 21533 | Why hast thou made me thus?'' |
| 21533 | Why may not even I have already performed those steps of my perfecting which bring to men only temporal punishments and rewards? |
| 21533 | Why not try and understand the true meaning of the figurative statement before criticising? |
| 21533 | Why should I not come back as often as I am capable of acquiring fresh knowledge, fresh expertness? |
| 21533 | Why stretch out a hand to the man who falls into the water before our very eyes? |
| 21533 | Why this excess of intelligence, used mainly for the exploiting of folly? |
| 21533 | Would not this delay in itself be an injustice? |
| 21533 | [ Footnote 196: Does this obscure passage refer to the resurrection of the body?] |
| 21533 | genus attonitum gelidæ formidine mortis, Quid Styga, quid tenebras, quid nomina vana timetis, Materiam vatum, falsique piacula mundi? |
| 19003 | But now, what do we mean by this affirmation of absolute reality independent of the conditions of the process of knowing? 19003 Given a rare and widely diffused mass of nebulous matter,... what are the successive changes that will take place? |
| 19003 | How could matter of itself produce order, even if it were self- existent and eternal? 19003 That Omnipotency can not make a substance to be solid and not solid at the same time, I think with due reverence[ diffidence? |
| 19003 | ''The wicked flees when no one pursueth;''then why does he flee? |
| 19003 | Am I told that I am not competent to judge the purposes of the Almighty? |
| 19003 | Am I told that this is arrogance? |
| 19003 | And as to the argument,"Why does the wicked flee when none pursueth? |
| 19003 | Are we leading a sermon on the datum"God is love"? |
| 19003 | But it may still be retorted,''Is not that which is_ most_ conceivable_ most likely_ to be true? |
| 19003 | But let us in fairness ask, What was the essential substance of that theory? |
| 19003 | But what is the''Iliad''to the hymn of creation and the drama of providence?" |
| 19003 | But what, let us ask, is the proximate cause of this difference? |
| 19003 | But why do I speak of forgetting? |
| 19003 | But why is there such a law? |
| 19003 | But you will say, Is it not impossible to admit of the making anything out of nothing, since we can not possibly conceive it? |
| 19003 | But, as a logician, I must be permitted to observe, that if I ask, Why am I not better than I am? |
| 19003 | But, granting this, and also that conscious matter is the sole alternative, and what follows? |
| 19003 | For example, my right hand writes, whilst my left hand is still: what causes rest in one and motion in the other? |
| 19003 | For to ask, Why is there Existence? |
| 19003 | How are we to classify that which contains all possible classes? |
| 19003 | How then did he meet it? |
| 19003 | How then does it fare with the last of the arguments-- the argument from an ultimate teleology? |
| 19003 | How then, it will be asked, did the vast nexus of natural laws which is now observable ever begin or continue to be? |
| 19003 | If it be asked, What other gauge of probability can we have in this matter other than such a direct appeal to consciousness? |
| 19003 | If there is no God, where can be the harm in our examining the spurious evidence of his existence? |
| 19003 | In what sense, then, is the word"Absolute"used? |
| 19003 | Interpreting the mazy nexus of phenomena only by the facts which science has revealed, and what conclusion are we driven to accept? |
| 19003 | Is it said that there are compensating enjoyments? |
| 19003 | Let us then first ask, What is"Nothing"? |
| 19003 | May it not appeal to hearts which long have ceased to worship? |
| 19003 | Must we not feel that had there not been intelligent agency at work somewhere, other and less terrifically intricate results would have ensued? |
| 19003 | Nay, may it not do more than this? |
| 19003 | No; but a work on the questions, Is there a God? |
| 19003 | Now in what does the evolution of intelligence consist? |
| 19003 | Now what are these features? |
| 19003 | Now what may we affirm of noumena without departing from a scientific or objective mode of philosophising? |
| 19003 | Or, otherwise phrased, is Nothing possible or impossible? |
| 19003 | Or, to state the case in another way, if it is asked, Why is there not Nothing? |
| 19003 | Or, what is the same thing, in refusing to predicate multiplicity of it, do we not virtually predicate of it unity? |
| 19003 | Starting, then, with these data,--matter, force, and the law of gravitation,--what must happen? |
| 19003 | The question is-- Has law a reason, or is it without a reason? |
| 19003 | The question, however, is, Which class of studies ought to be considered the more authoritative in this matter? |
| 19003 | The question, therefore, I conceive to be, What amount of evidence is there in favour of this metaphysical system of teleology? |
| 19003 | To which, then, of these distinct theories is Cosmic Theism most nearly allied? |
| 19003 | What is our warrant for ranking this assertion? |
| 19003 | What is the consequence? |
| 19003 | What is the state of the present argument as between a materialist and a theist? |
| 19003 | What origin are we to give them? |
| 19003 | What plainer manifestation of design can there be than this difference?" |
| 19003 | What shall we say of the despotism of preformed beliefs? |
| 19003 | What then shall we say is the final outcome of this discussion concerning the rational standing of the teleological argument? |
| 19003 | Where are we to look for an explanation of Existence?" |
| 19003 | Where is the proof that nothing can have caused a mind except another mind? |
| 19003 | Who but the"image"of his own thought? |
| 19003 | Who is it that he sees in solitude, in darkness, in the hidden chambers of his heart? |
| 19003 | Why does like produce like?... |
| 19003 | Why is this? |

| 37232 | ( 1) How could he, therefore, find any difficulty in such words addressed to the repentant Zacchaeus, who had just believed in the mission of Christ? 37232 ( 1) In the fourth Gospel, to the question:"What must we do, that we may work the works of God?" |

| 37232 | ( 2)"If Satan cast out Satan he is divided against himself: how then can his kingdom stand?" |

| 37232 | And he said unto them: What would ye that I should do for you? |
| 37232 | And how can we believe thy story that he was seen by thee? |
| 37232 | And how could he have been seen by thee when thy thoughts are contrary to his teaching? |
| 37232 | And if thou sayest:''It is possible,''then wherefore did the Teacher remain and discourse for a whole year to us who were awake? |
| 37232 | And in what way? |
| 37232 | And when you know this, with what{ 366} gladness, think you, you will be filled? |
| 37232 | But Jesus said to them: Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink the cup that I drink? |
| 37232 | But can any one through a vision be made wise to teach? |
| 37232 | But he answered and said unto them: Who are my mother and brethren? |
| 37232 | By whom was it written? |
| 37232 | For he will send him to judge, and who shall abide his presence? |
| 37232 | God calls out: Adam, where art thou? |
| 37232 | He also cites Melito of Sardis: why does he not refer to Apollinaris of Hierapolis? |
| 37232 | He, therefore, explains the question of the rulers:"What is the door of Jesus?" |
| 37232 | If it be argued that he was still living, then why does Eusebius not mention him amongst those who protested against the measures of Victor of Rome? |
| 37232 | If moreover the translator{ 245} was so ignorant of Latin, can we trust his translation? |
| 37232 | In any case, what could such a statement as this do towards establishing the Apostolic origin and credibility of the fourth Gospel? |
| 37232 | Is it possible that he could have had nothing interesting to tell about a work presenting so many striking and distinctive features? |
| 37232 | It is Judas Iscariot, and not the disciples, who says:"Why was not this ointment sold for three hundred pence and given to the poor?" |
| 37232 | Now, was it, as one of men might reason, for tyranny and to cause fear and consternation? |
| 37232 | Or how will you love him, who beforehand so loved you? |
| 37232 | The question therefore is: Are these data sufficiently ample and trustworthy for a decisive judgment{ 91} from internal evidence? |
| 37232 | The words:"Or how will you love him who so beforehand loved you?" |
| 37232 | There is evidently no intention on the part of the Scribes and Pharisees here to ridicule, in asking:"What is the door of Jesus?" |
| 37232 | To the all- important question:"How old is Heracleon?" |
| 37232 | To the inquiry:"What shall I do to inherit eternal life?" |
| 37232 | Upon what principle of dogmatic interest, then, can Marcion have erased the one while he retained the other? |
| 37232 | We again, however, come to the question: Who really made the quotations which Hippolytus introduces so indefinitely? |
| 37232 | When did Irenæus, however, really write his work against Heresies? |

| 43682 | The seer asks him,''Are you going or not?'' |
| 43682 | The spirit sees the articles, and says,''Where is the cocoanut?'' |
| 43682 | Then Vindumatî, hearing that, said to her husband:''The wickedness of this act is inconceivable; what can we say in palliation of it? |

| 40980 | Why even of yourselves judge ye not what is right? |

| 40980 | ( 6) What can be thought of this? |
| 40980 | A question will here naturally present itself, how the Jews became so much more vicious and depraved than their neighbours? |
| 40980 | And is it thus the people of God, headed by a man styled, in a peculiar manner,_ the man after God''s own heart_, used the prisoners of war? |
| 40980 | Did only one tribe believe in it? |
| 40980 | For if these two execrable villains deserved punishment, what did_ he_ merit who was the primary cause of so nefarious an action? |
| 40980 | His exemplary repentance is pleaded; is it any where to be found but in the psalms? |
| 40980 | Shall I then take my bread, and my water, and my flesh that I have killed for my shearers, and give unto men whom I know not whence they be? |
| 40980 | Such may produce numerous texts in opposition to what is here produced; and can inspired writers be inconsistent with themselves? |

| 40980 | and then God punishes-- whom? |
| 40980 | and who is the son of Jesse? |
| 40980 | but what does that prove? |
| 40980 | but while David went to meet the giant, he enquired of others, who proved as ignorant as himself, whose son(5) the stripling was? |
| 40980 | that David had his faults; and who has not? |

| 1561 | Among what stars was the Sun moving at that critical moment? |
| 1561 | And he wrote-- in the Tao- Teh- King--"Who is there who can make muddy water clear?" |
| 1561 | And to how many of us, in our dealings with the world, does life take on just such a form-- of a queer and ugly cloud? |
| 1561 | And what about the kind of creed or creeds which that religion would favor? |
| 1561 | And what of the transformation of the king into a god-- or of the Magician or Priest directly into the same? |
| 1561 | And yet( one can not help asking the question): Has any one of us really ever SEEN a Tree? |

| 1561 | Can any description of Rest be more perfect than that? |
| 1561 | Can we doubt, in the light of all that we have already said, what the answer to these questions is? |
| 1561 | Could anything be more crushing? |

| 1561 | How can we reconcile St. Augustine with his own devilish creed, or the religious belief of the Aztecs with their unspeakable cruelties? |
| 1561 | How can you reconcile the existence side by side of divinities belonging to such different periods, or ascribe them both to an astronomical origin?" |

| 1561 | If that is true-- it will be asked-- how was it that that divorce DID take place-- that the taboo did arise? |
| 1561 | If we can get into right touch with the immense, the incalculable powers of Nature, is there anything which we may not be able to do? |
| 1561 | If you pour a phial of muddy water into that reservoir which we described-- what will you see? |
| 1561 | Is it not obvious that the real Self MUST be something of this nature, a being perceiving all, but itself remaining unperceived? |
| 1561 | Is it not possible, we may ask, that in the very midst of the cyclone of daily life we may find a similar resting- place? |
| 1561 | Is that not magnificent? |

| 1561 | Schemes of reconstruction are well enough in their way, but if there is no ground of REAL HUMAN SOLIDARITY beneath, of what avail are they? |

| 14867 | Of what value can heathen asceticism and merit- making be while the heart is still barred and buttressed with self- righteousness? |
| 14867 | Or Lactantius, or Victorinus, Optatus, Hilary, not to speak of the living, and Greeks innumerable? |
| 14867 | See we not how richly laden with gold and silver and apparel that most persuasive teacher and most blessed martyr, Cyprian, departed out of Egypt? |
| 14867 | Stop, O Brahman; why do you engage in austerities? |
| 14867 | The Bhagavad Gita and the Gospel both enjoin the brotherhood of men, but what are the meanings which they give to this term? |

| 14867 | The question"Are ye not of more value than many sparrows?" |
| 14867 | The question, What is Nirvana? |
| 14867 | The real question is, what was the_ drift_ of the prophet''s character? |
| 14867 | Then follow other questions:''Does Buddhism really count more believers than any other religion?'' |
| 14867 | There is recognized no future intervention that can effect a change in the downward drift, and why should a thousand existences prove better than one? |

| 38303 | If conscience is a Divine gift to humanity, how is it that consciences differ so widely, not only in_ degree_, but in_ kind_? |
| 38303 | If conscience is a Divine"monitor"and"guide"from heaven, why is it that it so often becomes a very blind guide, and leads people into many by- paths? |

| 34578 | He thought again: Where is a fit spot to extend my clothes upon? |

| 46212 | If the sun is supposed to bring life, in what way does it more directly accomplish this than by this salt creation? |
| 46212 | In a Talmudic comment on Lot''s wife, the record is:"Rabbi Isaac asked,''Why did she become a pillar of salt?'' |
| 46212 | In what sense can this be true? |
| 46212 | Is this consistent with our claim of loving union with their God and ours? |
| 46212 | Our English Bible asks, at Job 6: 6,"Can that which hath no savor be eaten without salt?" |

| 30204 | And how many Theists are there who think of God in the presence of Nature, who see God''s smile in the sunshine, or hear his wrath in the storm? |
| 30204 | And in our own history have not our greatest achievers of noble things been very indifferent to theological dogmas? |
| 30204 | And was not the earth certainly flat, as millions of flats believed it to be? |

| 30204 | Does he know any Atheists, and has he found them one half as dreary as Scotch Calvinists? |
| 30204 | Does he think that the brains of an Atheist are addled? |
| 30204 | Does his lordship remember Byron''s epitaph on his Newfoundland dog, and the very uncomplimentary distinction drawn therein between dogs and men? |
| 30204 | Does not your lordship remember, too, Hamlet''s pursuing the dust of Cæsar to the ignominious bunghole? |
| 30204 | Does this make him a barren sceptic? |
| 30204 | Hamlet goes on to say,"And yet, what to me is this_ quintessence of dust?_"How now, your lordship? |

| 30204 | If to say_ Christ_ is absurd, and to say the_ Devil_ blasphemy, what alternative is left? |
| 30204 | Is it not plain that Christians in all ages have believed in the power and subtlety of the Devil as God''s sleepless antagonist? |
| 30204 | Is it the Devil then? |
| 30204 | Is not this a relic of astrology? |
| 30204 | Must we charitably, though with a touch of sarcasm, repeat Lamb''s words of Coleridge--"Never mind; it''s only his fun?" |
| 30204 | Now the question arises: Who made the chaos and who is responsible for the evil? |

| 18191 | But if the Curetonian letters are the genuine work of Ignatius, what must we say of the Vossian? |
| 18191 | But if this be so, what becomes of the disparagement of written Gospels, which is confidently asserted by our author and others? |
| 18191 | But if this was the motive of the insertion, what was its source? |
| 18191 | But in this latter case, if they had the second treatise which bears the name of St Luke in their hands, why should they not have had the first also? |
| 18191 | But is it certain that he is not mentioned elsewhere? |
| 18191 | But is there anything really characteristic of Marcion in the description? |
| 18191 | But what purpose was served by thus importing into his notes a mass of borrowed and unsorted references? |
| 18191 | But what then? |
| 18191 | But what was its nature and purport? |
| 18191 | But what, if the comparison which Papias had in view was wholly different? |
| 18191 | But what, if the writer of these fragments was not an''isolated convert to the views of Victor,''but a Quartodeciman himself? |
| 18191 | But where did he find this false exegesis? |
| 18191 | But who could have supposed that this was our author''s meaning? |
| 18191 | But, if our author disposes of the coincidences with the Third Gospel in this way, what will he say to those with the Acts? |
| 18191 | But, if so, how came it to find a place in the copies of St John''s Gospel? |
| 18191 | But, if so, how came the name of Irenæus to be attached to it? |
| 18191 | Can we imagine that the documents which Irenæus regards in this light had been produced during his own lifetime? |
| 18191 | Can we suppose that he meant anything else but the Old Testament Scriptures by this expression? |
| 18191 | Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest''? |
| 18191 | Does it not occur to him that he is here cutting the throat of his own argument? |
| 18191 | How comes it then, that he was not set right by one or other of these many writers, even if he could not construe Credner''s German? |
| 18191 | How then can we explain the statement of Epiphanius? |
| 18191 | How, again, has our author learnt that Eusebius''knows nothing of his having composed such a work''? |
| 18191 | In an earlier part of this same fifth book Irenæus writes[ 198:2]:-- Where then was the first man placed? |
| 18191 | Is the historical position which the writer of this letter takes up at all like the invention of a forger? |
| 18191 | Is the language which I have used at all stronger than our author''s own on this point? |
| 18191 | Is there any reason to think that Papias did directly occupy himself with this subject? |
| 18191 | Is there reason to believe that the authority in these two passages is the same or different? |
| 18191 | Is this a true description of the world in the early Christian ages? |
| 18191 | Is this at all unnatural? |
| 18191 | Is this the language of one speaking of a book to which''he attached little or no value''? |
| 18191 | May not the two have been connected together in the context of Papias, as they are in the notice of Eusebius? |
| 18191 | May not this have been the same person? |
| 18191 | Must not anyone reading the apology to Dr Westcott, contained in the note quoted above, necessarily carry off a wholly false impression of the facts? |

| 18191 | Was I altogether without ground for this belief? |
| 18191 | Was he, or was he not, as these critics affirm, a Judaic Christian of strongly Ebionite tendencies? |
| 18191 | Was the author''s main object to construct a new Evangelical narrative, or to interpret and explain one or more already in circulation? |
| 18191 | Was there then any possibility of a mistake here? |
| 18191 | Was this mere accident? |
| 18191 | What can this mean? |
| 18191 | What first did he write to you in the beginning of the Gospel? |
| 18191 | What ground is there then for the assumption that Clement did not mention Apollinaris, because Eusebius has not recorded the fact? |
| 18191 | What is the historical significance of this phenomenon? |
| 18191 | What is the meaning of all this coincidence of view? |
| 18191 | What then is the natural interpretation of the title''Exposition of Oracles of''( or''relating to'')''the Lord''? |
| 18191 | What then is the value of a principle which, when applied in a simple case, leads to conclusions diametrically opposed to historical facts? |
| 18191 | What wonder then that the Philippians should have asked him to write to them? |
| 18191 | What, if he adduced this testimony of the Presbyter to explain how St Mark''s Gospel differed not from another Synoptic narrative, but_ from St John_? |
| 18191 | What? |
| 18191 | Where did he learn this''certain''piece of information that Tatian thought lightly of St Paul? |
| 18191 | Who would think of throwing discredit on Lord Macaulay or Mr Freeman, because Robertson or Hume may be inaccurate? |
| 18191 | Why did Papias introduce this notice of the Hebrew original of St Matthew? |
| 18191 | Why may not Apollinaris have been included among these''certain others''whom Clement quoted? |
| 18191 | Would any one, without a preconceived theory, imagine that''exposition''here meant anything else but explanation or interpretation? |
| 18191 | Yea, and Polycarp himself also on one occasion, when Marcion confronted him and said,''Dost thou recognize me?'' |
| 18191 | Yes, but at what time? |
| 18191 | [ 127:2] Why then did he translate the oblique construction as if it were direct? |
| 18191 | [ 163:1] But, if Papias used written documents as the text for his''expositions,''can we identify these? |
| 18191 | [ 28:1] All this is well said, but is it consistent? |
| 18191 | and if he does know it, why has he left his readers entirely in the dark on this subject? |
| 18191 | and that they had taken their position at once by the side of the Law and the Psalmist and the Prophets, as the very voice of God? |

| 1185 | WHAT is truth? |
| 1185 | What, then, is time? 1185 And now, at once, recurs the question, How is it that the Church produced no geometer in her autocratic reign of twelve hundred years? 1185 And the thoughtful reader will earnestly ask,Are our solutions of these problems any better than theirs?" |
| 1185 | And what does that point out? |
| 1185 | Answer to the question, What has Science done for humanity? |
| 1185 | Are mysteries, miracles, lying impostures, better? |
| 1185 | Are these abiding impressions mere signal- marks, like the letters of a book, which impart ideas to the mind? |
| 1185 | Are these criteria of truth? |
| 1185 | Are we not excluding Almighty God from the world he has made?" |
| 1185 | As to the issue of the coming conflict, can any one doubt? |
| 1185 | But has not the order of civilization in all parts of the world been the same? |
| 1185 | But here, in the first place, it may be demanded, Who or what is it that has put forth this great claim in its behalf? |
| 1185 | But what is the meaning of all this? |

| 1185 | But, if, with them, we admit that the serpent is symbolical of Satan, does not that cast an air of allegory over the whole narrative? |
| 1185 | Can any man place the line which bounds the physical on one side, the supernatural on the other? |
| 1185 | Can we exaggerate the importance of a contention in which every thoughtful person must take part whether he will or not? |

| 1185 | Do they in like manner return, each to the source from which it has come? |
| 1185 | Does not the growth of society resemble individual growth? |
| 1185 | Does not their enormous size demonstrate that, as they are centres of force, so they must be centres of motion-- suns for other systems of worlds? |

| 1185 | Have we any standard or criterion of truth? |

| 1185 | How can a selection be made among them, except by such an appeal to Reason? |
| 1185 | How can that be received as a trustworthy guide in the invisible, which falls into so many errors in the visible? |
| 1185 | How can that give confidence in the moral, the spiritual, which has so signally failed in the physical? |
| 1185 | How can they deny that there are antipodes, and other worlds than ours? |
| 1185 | How could it be otherwise? |
| 1185 | How could the dogma of a Vicar of God upon earth, the dogma of an infallible pope, be sustained in presence of such scandals? |
| 1185 | How is it governed? |
| 1185 | How is it possible to coordinate the infallibility of the papacy with the well- known errors into which it has fallen? |
| 1185 | How many countries are there professing the same religion now that they did at the birth of Christ? |
| 1185 | How many shrines are there now in successful operation in Europe? |
| 1185 | How shall we account for the great failure we thus detect in the guardianship of the Church over Europe? |
| 1185 | How was it possible that the population could increase? |
| 1185 | If such be the conclusion to which we come respecting it, what would be the conclusion to which an Intelligence seated in it might come respecting us? |
| 1185 | If, now, we demand, What has science done for the promotion of modern civilization; what has it done for the happiness, the well- being of society? |
| 1185 | Is it at all surprising that the number of those who hold the opinions of the Church in light esteem should so rapidly increase? |
| 1185 | Is it not plain that there must have been a common tie among all these bodies, that they are only parts of what must once have been a single mass? |
| 1185 | Is not that a strange logic which finds proof of an asserted fact in an inexplicable illustration of something else? |
| 1185 | Is not the accomplishment of a prophecy a testimony to its truth? |
| 1185 | Is not this to exclude Almighty God from the worlds he has made? |
| 1185 | Is the world, then, governed by law or by providential interventions, abruptly breaking the proper sequence of events? |
| 1185 | Is there any evidence that the life of nations is under the control of immutable law? |
| 1185 | Is there for each of us a providential intervention as we thus pass from stage to stage of life? |
| 1185 | Is there not, however, a most serious objection in the way? |
| 1185 | It lay in the question, Does the Bible owe its authenticity to the Church? |
| 1185 | It may be said that this infallibility applies only to moral or religious things; but where shall the line of separation be drawn? |
| 1185 | It was now plain to every one that the question had become,"Who is to be master in the state, the government or the Roman Church? |
| 1185 | Many years subsequently, in the height of his power, Ayesha, who was one of the most beautiful women in Arabia, said to him:"Was she not old? |
| 1185 | Must not that be false which requires for its support so much imposture, so much barbarity? |
| 1185 | Not without reason do Protestants demand, What proof can be given that infallibility exists in the Church at all? |
| 1185 | Of many great discoveries, has not this been the history? |
| 1185 | Of them were there none who had fallen or might fall like us? |
| 1185 | Of what consequence is man, his pleasures or his pains? |
| 1185 | Of what consequence, then, can such an almost imperceptible particle be? |
| 1185 | Or are there reasons for believing that these several systems came into existence not by such an arbitrary fiat, but through the operation of law? |
| 1185 | Seeing that events which are past have vindicated these prophecies, shall we be blamed for trusting them in events that are to come? |
| 1185 | Shall we not, then, conclude with Cicero, who, quoted by Lactantius, says:"One eternal and immutable law embraces all things and all times?" |
| 1185 | Shall we speak of this man with disrespect? |
| 1185 | Shall we wonder that, in some of the invasions of the plague, the deaths were so frightfully numerous that the living could hardly bury the dead? |
| 1185 | The face of creation testifies that there has been a Creator; but at once arises the question,"How and when did he make heaven and earth? |
| 1185 | The limits of our own system are far beyond the range of our greatest telescopes; what, then, shall we say of other systems beyond? |
| 1185 | The past is not, the future is not, the present-- who can tell what it is, unless it be that which has no duration between two nonentities? |
| 1185 | They came to listen to her discourses on those questions which man in all ages has asked, but which never yet have been answered:"What am I? |
| 1185 | They remembered that he had once said to one who approached him with timid steps:"Of what dost thou stand in awe? |
| 1185 | Was it a nonentity? |
| 1185 | Was it for this preposterous scheme-- this product of ignorance and audacity-- that the works of the Greek philosophers were to be given up? |
| 1185 | What can I know?" |
| 1185 | What can be better than absolute truth? |
| 1185 | What could be more humiliating than the circumstances under which it took place( A.D. 846)? |

| 1185 | What is the soul? |
| 1185 | What is the world? |
| 1185 | What then? |
| 1185 | What, then, is that sacred, that revealed science, declared by the Fathers to be the sum of all knowledge? |
| 1185 | What, then, remains for us? |
| 1185 | When Science is thus commanded to surrender her intellectual convictions, may she not ask the ecclesiastic to remember the past? |
| 1185 | Where am I? |
| 1185 | Where is the criterion of truth? |
| 1185 | Where would human physiology be, if it were not illuminated by the bright irradiations of comparative physiology? |
| 1185 | Where, then, for them could a Savior be found? |
| 1185 | Will it consent to retrace its steps to the semi- barbarian ignorance and superstition of the middle ages? |
| 1185 | Will modern civilization consent to abandon the career of advancement which has given it so much power and happiness? |
| 1185 | Would such an Intelligence think it necessary to require for our origin and maintenance the immediate intervention of God? |
| 1185 | and why should the truth be ascertained by the vote of a majority rather than by that of a minority? |

| 1185 | is there no difference between the holy soul of Peter and the damned soul of Judas? |
| 1185 | or does the Church owe her authenticity to the Bible? |
| 1185 | shall we attribute to Almighty God a mother, as you dare to do? |
| 1185 | shall we give up these books? |

| 36794 | 39, 11(?). |
| 36794 | ?_ These questions are beyond conjecture. |
| 36794 | And can the natives have done so steadily, ever since about 1840 at least? |
| 36794 | And she was afraid, and said to Pharaoh,"Wilt thou swear to give me my heart''s desire?" |
| 36794 | And whence came the water? |
| 36794 | Are all confirmed by Charlevoix, and Lafitau, and Brebeuf, the old Catholic apostles of the North American Indians? |
| 36794 | Are we to believe that this mystic secrecy is kept up, as regards white men, about a Being first heard of from white men? |
| 36794 | But he answered,"Art thou not as my mother, and my brother as a father to me? |
| 36794 | But how is the similarity of the arrangement of the incidents and ideas into_ plots_ to be accounted for? |
| 36794 | But what missionary introduced the word before 1840? |
| 36794 | But who is Semele?" |
| 36794 | But, on this theory, what religion is sacred? |
| 36794 | Did Homer, did any educated Greek, turn in his thoughts, when pain, or sorrow, or fear fell on him, to a hope in the help of Hermes or Athene? |
| 36794 | Do you not see our hunger? |
| 36794 | Does Codrington in Melanesia tell the same tale as Gill in Mangia or Theal among the Kaffirs? |
| 36794 | Have you not hunted and heard his cry when the elands suddenly run to his call? |
| 36794 | He asked old Billy Murri Bundur whether men_ worshipped_ Baiame at the Bora? |
| 36794 | He asks: Did Egypt borrow these tales from India, or India from Egypt? |
| 36794 | He had a decorated coffer( mummy- case?) |
| 36794 | He said,"I do not know; has he then passed here?" |
| 36794 | How are these resemblances to be explained? |
| 36794 | How did the complex theory of the nature of Artemis arise? |
| 36794 | How did the evolution work its way? |
| 36794 | How is the wide distribution of such a story to be accounted for? |
| 36794 | If it does not, have the Central Australians never developed the idea, or have they lost it? |
| 36794 | If not, why is the religion of the civilised man nearer the beginning than that of the man who is not civilised? |
| 36794 | If this be not primitive instinctive monotheism, what is it? |
| 36794 | In the same way Mrs. Langloh Parker found that an European neighbour would ask,"but have the blacks any legends?" |
| 36794 | Is not one a carpenter, another a blacksmith, another a shipbuilder? |
| 36794 | Is the father sun or heaven? |
| 36794 | Now what peoples give beasts honourable burial? |
| 36794 | Now why should this be? |
| 36794 | Or is it akin to:"one who causes pain"? |
| 36794 | Or is the word related to(------), and does it mean"dark"? |
| 36794 | Or is the:"prothetic"? |
| 36794 | Perhaps the child was born from his head, like Athene?" |
| 36794 | Secondly, How did that complex mass of beliefs and practices come into existence? |
| 36794 | Such are the Australians, men without kings or chiefs, and what do we know of their beliefs? |
| 36794 | The chief problems raised by these sagas and stories are--(1) How do they come to resemble each other so closely in all parts of the world? |
| 36794 | The flying birds no longer rest after thy dawning, O bringer of food(?). |
| 36794 | The question,_ What was the religion of Egypt?_ is far from simple. |
| 36794 | Then it was told to thee, O man of seven cubits, How canst thou enter it? |
| 36794 | They asked this man,"Where is the bull that passed down here?" |
| 36794 | They try to answer these questions:"Who made things?" |
| 36794 | This authority is accepted in questions of the evolution of art, politics, handicraft; why not in questions of religion? |
| 36794 | To their statements, also, we can apply the criterion: Does Bleek''s report from the Bushmen and Hottentots confirm Castren''s from the Finns? |
| 36794 | Two questions remain unanswered: how did a goddess of the name of Artemis, and with her wide and beneficent functions, succeed to a cult so barbarous? |
| 36794 | Was Apollo from the beginning the mediator with men by oracles? |
| 36794 | Was Athene from the first the well- beloved daughter of Zeus? |
| 36794 | Was Hephaestus always the artisan? |
| 36794 | Was Hermes always the herald? |
| 36794 | Was not this the invisible infinite? |
| 36794 | What god was present in the fray when thou didst slay thy father, seizing him by the foot?" |
| 36794 | What is the radical meaning of her name? |
| 36794 | What kind of religion did the Israelites see during the sojourn in Egypt, or what presented itself to the eyes of Herodotus? |
| 36794 | Where is the distinctness in a conception which produces such confusion? |
| 36794 | Who can bring order into such a chaos? |
| 36794 | Who can reply? |
| 36794 | Who sought to kill thee, lying or moving? |
| 36794 | Who, then, are these Asvins? |
| 36794 | Why are the legends of men and beasts and Gods so incredible and revolting? |
| 36794 | Why did the ancient peoples-- above all, the Greeks-- tell such extremely gross and irrational stories about their Gods and heroes? |
| 36794 | Why have we ceased to tell such tales? |
| 36794 | Why should this be so on the philological theory? |
| 36794 | and is( it) the root, and does it mean"clear- shining"? |
| 36794 | aqua), or is it equivalent to:("bulwark"or"the people")? |
| 36794 | art thou mad, bold vixen, to match thyself against me? |
| 36794 | at what precise hour did it emancipate itself on the whole from the lower savage creeds? |
| 36794 | in what manner of home?" |
| 36794 | is the mother clear sky, or, as elsewhere, the imperishability of the daylight? |
| 36794 | or how was it developed out of their unpromising materials? |
| 36794 | or how, on the other hand, did the cult of a ravening she- bear develop into the humane and pure religion of Artemis? |
| 36794 | what was its growth? |
| 45823 | Again, Why? |
| 45823 | And, if it changes them, what is the extent of the change? |
| 45823 | Any one agreeing, as every one must, that this is true, might still justly put the query, Why is it impossible? |
| 45823 | Does it go so far only as the semi- idealism of Locke, or extend into the absolute idealism of the German school? |
| 45823 | Every human inquiry that asks, What is right, proper, or correct? |
| 45823 | Every one is inclined to ask, Why? |
| 45823 | He says:"Thus of three Protestants, one becomes a Catholic, a second a Unitarian, and a third an unbeliever: how is this? |
| 45823 | Hence in discussing the unanimity principle the question presents itself, How came the public thus wrongly to apply it? |
| 45823 | How are we accustomed to speak? |
| 45823 | How are we accustomed to write? |
| 45823 | It may be asked, apart from the inquiry what first principles there are, Is there a necessity that some first principles should be? |
| 45823 | So that, says Locke, if you ask,"What room is there for the exercise of any other faculty but outward sense and inward perception?" |
| 45823 | To the two queries you put to me,"What are first principles?" |
| 45823 | What error did they commit in so doing? |
| 45823 | What, then, is Reason, and what are its Rights? |
| 45823 | Why can not we answer it? |
| 45823 | Why should any one stand between him and his Maker? |
| 45823 | You ask the meaning of this privilege, whether it is right; and, if so, to what propriety or necessity of the case it is due? |
| 45823 | You ask"my idea on the impossibility of proving the truth of First Principles?" |
| 45823 | You ask,"How is truth ascertained to be truth?" |
| 45823 | and what sort of a call for changing our customs in either of these particulars is that which constitutes a genuine call to do so? |
| 45823 | and"What is the criterion of truth?" |
| 45823 | necessarily, in doing so, asks, What is it reasonable to think, believe, or do? |
| 45823 | or, in other words,"What is the criterion of truth?" |
| 45823 | what prevents us? |
| 45823 | whence our inability? |
| 46024 | And the people said among themselves:"Surely Banggílît is dead,"and they examined his body and asked:"Where were you speared?" |
| 46024 | And they asked him:"How many days will you remain with us?" |
| 46024 | And why hast thou not quickened him to life?" |
| 46024 | Are not the fowls of Kai- áng related among themselves, and yet they beget just like those that are not so?" |
| 46024 | From the intestines she formed a class of somewhat large animals, resembling rabbits or rats( amúnîn?). |
| 46024 | From whence dost thou come?" |
| 46024 | He showed them the jars, and they asked:"Where did you get those?" |
| 46024 | His relatives came out and said:"Who are you?" |
| 46024 | How dost thou call thyself? |
| 46024 | I, upon seeing that she did not wish to get married, nor to follow my advice, said to her:''Why dost thou not get married?'' |
| 46024 | In this fashion she proceeded to Kinggáuan''s hut and entered it, saying:"Who is the owner of this hut?" |
| 46024 | On the second day Búgan asked the solitary one:"Why dost thou dwell in such evil places?" |
| 46024 | The aged mother after having looked at them a little while-- when seated-- addressed herself to Búgan and asked:"Who art thou? |
| 46024 | The mother of the former was surprised, and asked him:"Who is this woman?" |
| 46024 | Then he went to Kalauwítan and said to his dog and the deer:"Why do you delay in bringing the fire? |
| 46024 | Then said Lumáwig:"Why do you ask so much for water? |
| 46024 | Then said Lumáwig:"Why do you delay the taking? |
| 46024 | Then said Lumáwig:"Why do you shame me in public?" |
| 46024 | Then they went on, and at last his brother- in- law said again:"Well, why do you not create water? |
| 46024 | They answered him:"How can we find water at such an elevation? |
| 46024 | This being observed by Líddum from Kabúnian, he descended and asked them:"Why have ye not offered sacrifices?" |
| 46024 | [ 27] Then the people went home; and the sister of Lumáwig said to him:"Why did you push your brother- in- law into the rock?" |
| 46024 | [ 31] Or búling(?). |
| 46024 | [ 32] Dáwi(?). |
| 46024 | [ 43] Or Ngílîn an Maknóngan(?). |
| 40211 | How can we reason, but from what we know? |
| 40211 | And what but the spirit of silence will conciliate the Quakers? |
| 40211 | And would such be a Church of Christ? |
| 40211 | Are not the ministers of that Church afraid of every new discovery in science? |
| 40211 | But what is God? |
| 40211 | Can any man reasonably say, that we have yet passed the superstitious state? |
| 40211 | Can it be a Church of Christ? |
| 40211 | Do we know what a Church of Christ is in reality? |
| 40211 | First.--What is now the Church? |
| 40211 | How can you furnish spirit and noise enough for the Unknown Tongues of the Irvingites? |
| 40211 | I know you well enough to know, that you will not like its propounder; but who else has been ripe and bold enough to do it? |
| 40211 | If I can sink the past in oblivion for common good, who should say he can not? |
| 40211 | If Mr. Faraday had played you_ hocus pocus_ or legerdemain tricks, as a pretence of chemistry, would you have been satisfied? |
| 40211 | If not, and I say-- No, to what good purpose does this expensive establishment exist? |
| 40211 | In the Church now existing, is there aught but mystery that can be called its religion? |
| 40211 | In what class of ages do we place the dark ages of man''s history? |
| 40211 | Is it not so in Ireland? |
| 40211 | Is it not your greatest trouble in this island? |
| 40211 | Is it now so built? |
| 40211 | Is not this the grand_ desideratum?_ Can it be accomplished?--I think it can, and so proceed to unfold the two- fold consideration. |
| 40211 | It is a fair question to put to you and your party, if you know the first principles of the Institutions of this country? |
| 40211 | Know you not, Sir, that knowledge is power? |
| 40211 | Now what do we see? |
| 40211 | On what rock, then, must the Church of Christ be built, so that the gates of hell, or of evil design, or of dissent, may not prevail against it? |
| 40211 | On what, but KNOWLEDGE? |
| 40211 | Or a beautifully reflected picture of the heavens and its explanation lessen true devotion? |
| 40211 | Or what should it seek to be, other than a moral power? |
| 40211 | Or, may it not be put to a better purpose? |
| 40211 | The first consideration is-- What is now the Church? |
| 40211 | The second consideration will be-- What ought the Church to be, so as to leave no ground and reason of dissent? |
| 40211 | There would then be some ground for a bishop''s or overseer''s examination and confirmation; but what does confirmation now mean? |
| 40211 | Those who dissent by knowledge, or those by ignorance? |
| 40211 | To the Pagan, Jew, Mahometan, Infidel, or whose? |
| 40211 | To which will you yield, or whom will you join? |
| 40211 | To whose account are they placed? |
| 40211 | Was not everything demonstrated, so that the words were verified by the acts of the Lecturer? |
| 40211 | What are its defects? |
| 40211 | What are its defects? |
| 40211 | What does man know of God? |
| 40211 | What is to be done to satisfy the Wesleyans or Methodists? |
| 40211 | What is to be done with the Swedenborgians, the Muggletonians, and Southcotians? |
| 40211 | What kind of a school? |
| 40211 | What seeks your Church to be? |
| 40211 | What the cause of that dissent which has made a revision necessary? |
| 40211 | What the cause of that dissent, which has made a revision necessary? |
| 40211 | What, then, is the revelation of the mystery of Christ? |
| 40211 | What, then, ought the Church to be, so as to have no ground and reason of dissent? |
| 40211 | When Peter, in the Gospel, is called upon to feed the lambs of Christ, what was meant?--to feed them with grass? |
| 40211 | When there, were you asked to believe anything? |
| 40211 | Who else deserves the honour of being its propounder; but I, its honest martyr and zealous student, through a ten years''imprisonment? |
| 40211 | Will their pride let them learn of me? |
| 40211 | Will you now grant that commission? |
| 40211 | Would moral; science profane the pulpit or injure the congregation? |
| 40211 | Would the experimental lectures of a Faraday, desecrate the building? |
| 40211 | You may ask, how is this to be done? |
| 40211 | You must have read that celebrated axiom of Bacon''s; but have you considered it, have you reflected, have you repented and proved that axiom? |
| 40211 | and if it may, why not? |
| 40984 | And do you all agree in these interpretations? |
| 40984 | And he died? |
| 40984 | And it is that same religion that you still observe? |
| 40984 | And pray how did she conceive? |
| 40984 | And the Son of God has been a man from all eternity? |
| 40984 | And the daughter of God, said I, what is become of her? |
| 40984 | And was buried? |
| 40984 | And what proof have you of this? |
| 40984 | And who was his mother? |
| 40984 | And why do you believe it? |
| 40984 | And why should you believe them; you who came seventeen hundred years after him? |
| 40984 | And yet, you do not observe them? |
| 40984 | And you make no use of your reason then? |
| 40984 | And your religion is there exactly prescribed? |
| 40984 | As you love this God so much, I suppose he was born in your country? |
| 40984 | But what said the people? |
| 40984 | But when did the Father beget this Son? |
| 40984 | But whence then is this new religion, for you own that it was never announced by your God? |
| 40984 | But you say that the Holy Ghost proceeds from the Son; how then could he produce the Son? |
| 40984 | Do you not admire, Sir, the wisdom of the God we adore? |
| 40984 | Has the Father then any other children? |
| 40984 | Has the Holy Ghost been a man also? |
| 40984 | Have we not already told you that he was put to death by order of the magistrates? |
| 40984 | Have we not told you that the conduct of this God was always mysterious, purposely to humble our weak reason? |
| 40984 | He must then have left a book of doctrines of religion, which you thought proper to adopt? |
| 40984 | His miracles, have they not persuaded those who were witnesses? |
| 40984 | How, Gentlemen? |
| 40984 | I am quite delighted with your mode of reasoning; but pray what name do you give this people? |
| 40984 | I assured them it was the first time I had heard of it, and asked them why he had become a man? |
| 40984 | I find you are as well provided with proofs as with reasonings; but did he perform any other miracles? |
| 40984 | I insisted-- how could God the Father produce God the Son? |
| 40984 | I never heard of them? |
| 40984 | I suppose he was begotten also? |
| 40984 | Jews.--Jews? |
| 40984 | No? |
| 40984 | Of whom, and now was he born? |
| 40984 | She would certainly be much surprised know- ing herself to be a virgin? |
| 40984 | So then I find you have three Gods? |
| 40984 | Then there was a particular religion in the country where he was born, before his time? |
| 40984 | They said to me one day,"Of what religion are you?" |
| 40984 | Was not his doctrine believed by the people he attempted to instruct? |
| 40984 | Well then I suppose that is the end of his history? |
| 40984 | What do you call the third person? |
| 40984 | What do you say, gentlemen? |
| 40984 | What do you say? |
| 40984 | What kind of a life did he lead? |
| 40984 | Yet I suppose you will be still more surprised when we tell you she was married? |
| 40984 | You do not agree in your explanations, and you quarrel and kill each other about them? |
| 40984 | You do not know then that God has made himself a man?" |
| 40984 | Your religion does not at all please me; yet I suppose it had been adopted by the people of the country where your God dwelt? |
| 40984 | he has but a Son: but how do you know the sex of this Son? |
| 20248 | I wonder,mused the Martian,"did the grim spectre of death finally instill a grain of scepticism into his mind?" |
| 20248 | Again Jerome Davis asks,"Is it possible that our Church leaders are to some extent blinded by current conventional standards? |
| 20248 | Again, if witchcraft is given up, why not the chief witch of the Bible, the Devil? |
| 20248 | Aloud he muses,"Is there no place on Earth which is free from this contradiction?" |
| 20248 | And how well he must have rewarded his faithful servants, for was this not done in His name? |
| 20248 | And then all Gods laughed and shook on their chairs and cried:"Is Godliness not just that there are Gods, but no God?" |
| 20248 | And, behold, they cried out, saying,''What have we to do with thee, Jesus, Son of God? |
| 20248 | Are not the wants of his family, the hunger, and ostracism torture? |
| 20248 | Are they so busy sharing the wealth of the prosperous with others in spiritual quests that they fail to see some areas of desperate social need? |
| 20248 | Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?'' |
| 20248 | Brahmanism, Jainism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Confucianism, Taoism, Zoroastrianism, Hebrewism, Mohammedanism, Christianity-- which is the true religion? |
| 20248 | But actually who created this creator? |
| 20248 | But does the Mohammedan or the Christian analyze as critically each his own belief? |
| 20248 | But if the wife is displeased, is there any justice? |
| 20248 | But what effectual check has Christianity contributed? |
| 20248 | But, is the modern worshipper who is contemptuous of the ancients very different from them? |
| 20248 | By what process of thought had Mohammed come to exalt Allah not merely above all Arabian gods, but above the gods of all times? |
| 20248 | Can anything stronger be said to discourage research, investigation, experiment, and retard progress? |
| 20248 | Did the clergymen stand firm when men with dollars talked? |
| 20248 | Divine Justice? |
| 20248 | Do certain diseases as yet remain to plague man? |
| 20248 | Do certain diseases still baffle the physician? |
| 20248 | Do they to some degree unconsciously exchange the gift of prophecy for yearly budgets and business boards?" |
| 20248 | Does any one believe that Jew, Mohammedan, Catholic, and Protestant can long live in peace together? |
| 20248 | Does not this apologist confuse his god with his devil? |
| 20248 | For how much longer will man be a slave to his inferiority complex with regard to his own rational capacities? |
| 20248 | Furthermore, why was he so certain of his own intimate association with Allah? |
| 20248 | Good God-- surely in the face of all this sense of aliveness and motion, and this and that, there should be some intimation of WHY? |
| 20248 | Has man profited by having remained in his mental infancy so long? |
| 20248 | Has not his mind so co-*ordinated his movements that he has enslaved those forces of nature to be his aid? |
| 20248 | How can we attribute these qualities to a being who is described to us as devoid of any nerve structure? |
| 20248 | How can we know the actual number of earthlings that are sceptics? |
| 20248 | How much longer before humanity can begin to build on a sound foundation? |
| 20248 | How, then, could an omnipotent being permit wholesale and private murder? |
| 20248 | However, the Martian argues,"Is it not a fact that in your earthly experience, you have created your gods in your own image? |
| 20248 | If everything must have a cause, then the First Cause must be caused and therefore: Who made God? |
| 20248 | If faith is vital to man, why not relate it to that which at least holds a promise of solution? |
| 20248 | If men were possessed of devils in Jesus''time, what has happened to these devils now? |
| 20248 | If the God of these earthlings bothers not about them, why should they trouble about God? |
| 20248 | If the grocer, the butcher, the doctor, the lawyer, the scholar, the business man, were to boldly announce his scepticism, what would happen to him? |
| 20248 | If this be God''s word, did God err when He said it? |
| 20248 | In how many of the advanced ideas of our time has the Church taken the lead? |
| 20248 | In this series of complications where may we discern a first cause? |
| 20248 | Is He not rather a demon than a God? |
| 20248 | Is anything so pitiful to behold as the firm grasp that the Church places on the mind of the youngest of children? |
| 20248 | Is it necessary that you should salt your truth that it will no longer quench thirst_? |
| 20248 | Is it not a fact that if the Christian nations of the world would only live at peace together, war would be impossible? |
| 20248 | Is it not renowned for being a long way in the rear rather than in the vanguard of progressive thought and action? |
| 20248 | Is religion, is church membership a help to virtue? |
| 20248 | Is religion, is church membership, a help to virtue? |
| 20248 | Is this all that is left to the theologian: that he must use the pitiful"Theology of Gaps"? |
| 20248 | It is an absurd answer to reply that the creator created himself, yet, even if this is granted, may not the universe have created itself? |
| 20248 | It is an excellent and comprehensive statement, but one is left wondering why the name"religious humanism"? |
| 20248 | It was Lactantius who asked,"Is there any one so senseless as to believe that there are men whose footsteps are higher than their heads? |
| 20248 | Must it take five hundred years for all mankind to come to a similar conclusion? |
| 20248 | Now is it strange that Sinai should have excited reverence and dread? |
| 20248 | Now it is the Martian''s turn to inquire of the Hebrew whether the latter had ever read this story to his own daughter? |
| 20248 | Or did the Divine Father know that even a self- respecting germ could not inhabit the filthy floor of the Tabernacle? |
| 20248 | Or, the story of Abraham''s affair with Hagar, his handmaiden? |
| 20248 | Professor James T. Shotwell when speaking of paganism reminds us,"Who of us can appreciate antique paganism? |
| 20248 | Surely, Jesus could not misinterpret his own words or deeds, if the religionists contend that we are now misinterpreting the Bible? |
| 20248 | Surely, a man is not burned at the stake for his scepticism in this age; but is he not done to death? |
| 20248 | That I have ten coats in my wardrobe while he goes naked? |
| 20248 | That at each of my meals enough is served to feed his family for a week? |
| 20248 | That the crops and trees grow downward? |
| 20248 | That the rains and snow and hail fall upwards toward the earth? |
| 20248 | The oft- repeated question still admits of no answer,"Who created the creator"? |
| 20248 | Then again, has it not occurred to this apologist that he is in all futility attempting to prove something which is a contradiction within itself? |
| 20248 | Then was heard the last despairing cry of the desolate, dying martyr,"My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |

| 20248 | What effect has Christianity had upon our moral life, upon crime, drug- addiction, sexual immorality, prostitution, and perversion? |

| 50534 | Can any more plausible account of the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah be given, than that it was caused by Phaeton? |
| 50534 | Can anything be more subtle than the answer of Jesus concerning the woman taken in adultery? |
| 50534 | He adds,"who will deny that God is a body, although God is a Spirit[ 30]?" |
| 50534 | Is that the way to identify this impious book? |
| 50534 | Ought we not therefore to conclude that it was never in existence? |
| 50534 | The philosopher with the same equanimity and the same smile, merely said,"Did I not tell you that you would certainly break the limb?" |
| 50534 | The"Colloquium Heptaplomeres,"although in manuscript, has been answered; would"The Three Impostors"have met with more favour? |
| 50534 | This being established, if it is asked,"What then is God?" |

| 37231 | ( 3) Dr. Mansel asks:Is matter or mind the truer image of God? |
| 37231 | ( 3) Paley states the case with equal clearness:In what way can a revelation be made but by miracles? |
| 37231 | ( 4) Why, then, does he call it an assumption? 37231 For if he had not come in the flesh, how could men have been saved by beholding him? |

| 37231 | And what is the value of any evidence emanating from the Ignatian Epistles and martyrologies? |
| 37231 | And what more shall I say? |
| 37231 | Are we to believe ignorance and superstition or science and unvarying experience? |
| 37231 | As Justin introduces them deliberately as quotations, why should they be excluded simply because they are combined with a historical statement? |
| 37231 | At this starting- point of nature what would a man know of its future course? |
| 37231 | Because it has not happened before? |
| 37231 | Because we can not explain its cause? |
| 37231 | But I must ask upon what ground he limits my remark to those who absolutely admit the genuineness? |
| 37231 | But how do we know that that communication of what is undiscoverable by human reason is true? |
| 37231 | But what is there to show the existence of a permanent cause? |
| 37231 | But what purpose was served by thus importing into his notes a mass of borrowed and unsorted references? |
| 37231 | Can the doctrine of His justification of us and intercession for us, be disjoined from another?... |
| 37231 | Can the doctrine of our Lord''s Incarnation be disjoined from one physical miracle? |
| 37231 | Could it with any reason be affirmed that he was acquainted with Matthew and not with Mark? |
| 37231 | Did Eusebius intend to point out mere quotations of the books which he considered undisputed"? |
| 37231 | Did they ever really take place? |
| 37231 | Does the agreement of the quotation with a passage which is equally found in the three Gospels prove the existence of all of them? |
| 37231 | Does the word Xoyta, however, mean strictly Oracles or discourses alone, or does it include within its fair signification also historical narrative? |
| 37231 | Dr. Mozley then asks:"What would be the inevitable conclusion of sober reason respecting that person? |
| 37231 | Had the quotation agreed with our Gospels, would it not have been claimed as a professedly accurate quotation from them? |
| 37231 | He inquires:"Is the suspension of physical and material laws by a Spiritual Being inconceivable? |
| 37231 | How can I place any reliance upon it in the other? |
| 37231 | How can we have a right to declare the induction complete, while facts, supported by credible evidence, present themselves in opposition to it? |
| 37231 | How, then, according to divines, does it attain any potentiality? |
| 37231 | If there be a moral at all to the parable, it is the justification of the master:"Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own?" |
| 37231 | If this point be, for the sake of argument, set aside, what is the position? |
| 37231 | In how many more may not the same passage have been found? |
| 37231 | Is it legitimate to accept its evidence when we please, and reject it when we please?" |
| 37231 | Is it not, then, a_ petitio principii_ to say, that the fact ought to be disbelieved because the induction to it is complete? |
| 37231 | Is the order of nature, which it is asserted is under the personal control of God, at the same time at the mercy of the Devil? |
| 37231 | Jesus replies,"In what way have I sinned that I should go and be baptized by him? |
| 37231 | Justin likewise mentions the cry of Jesus on the Cross,"O God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
| 37231 | Mark has the expression:"Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary? |
| 37231 | Moreover, the expression:"What new thing do ye?" |
| 37231 | Notwithstanding all this persistent and unanimous confirmation, we ask again: What has now become of the belief in demoniacal possession and sorcery? |
| 37231 | Now what has been the result of this minute and prejudiced attack upon my notes? |
| 37231 | Now, unless there be an actual order of nature, how can there be any exception to it? |
| 37231 | Now, what has become of this theory of disease? |
| 37231 | The first of these is the reply which James is said to have given to the Scribes and Pharisees:"Why do ye ask me concerning Jesus the Son of Man? |
| 37231 | We would ask, however, what verification of the death have we in the case of the widow''s son which we have not here? |
| 37231 | What, then, is the position of the so- called Ignatian Epistles? |

| 40981 | Did he inspire four men to write accounts of the_ resurrection_,* which disagree with each other in almost every circumstance? |
| 40981 | Did the great and merciful Being act thus? |
| 40981 | How can a man be said to be injured, even if we allow that he is cheated, since he is cheated into salvation, though perhaps against his will? |
| 40981 | How could he divide the light from darkness, since darkness is nothing but the mere privation of light? |
| 40981 | How could time be divided into days, before the creation of the sun, since a day is the time between sun- rise and sun- rise? |
| 40981 | If Scripture was not meant to instruct philosophers, yet why should it mislead them? |
| 40981 | Is he not rather the tyrant-- the inhuman despot? |

| 42466 | Did he live in that wide Post- Pliocene continent which extended westward through Ireland? |
| 42466 | Does this conception of natural law give us any warrant for the idea that the universe is a product of chance? |
| 42466 | Had he visited or seen from afar the great island Atlantis, whose inhabitants could almost see in the sunset sky the islands of the blest? |
| 42466 | Here we raise a question which should perhaps have been considered earlier: Is man himself actually a part of what we call nature? |
| 42466 | How can he separate the true from the false? |
| 42466 | How were the five- fingered limbs acquired in this abrupt way? |

| 14080 | Are they all derived from misunderstood words meaning''bright''? |
| 14080 | Are we to believe that the same institutions have existed wherever we find survivals of totemism? |

| 14080 | Circe is the moon, Odysseus is the sun, and''what_ watches over_ the solar hero at night when exposed to the hostile lunar power, but the stars?'' |
| 14080 | Did a process of this sort ever occur in Greek religion, and were older animal gods ever collected into the temples of such deities as Apollo? |
| 14080 | Did insignificant animals elsewhere receive worship: were their effigies elsewhere placed in the temples of a purer creed? |

| 14080 | In the first place, what is to be understood by the word''Kalevala''? |
| 14080 | In the third place he asks, What are the antecedents of fetich- worship? |
| 14080 | Is it a thing invented once for all, and carried abroad over the world by wandering races, or handed on from one people and tribe to another? |
| 14080 | Is it credible that savages should discover a fact which puzzles science? |
| 14080 | Is it not obvious that the religious elements( magic and necromancy) left out of his reckoning by Mr. Muller are most powerful in developing rank? |

| 14080 | Kullervo said,"I am the wretched son of Kalerva; but tell me, what is thy race, and who is thy father?" |
| 14080 | Mr. Orpen asked,''Do you know the secrets?'' |
| 14080 | Now is there any reason to believe that this incident was once part of the myth of Pururavas and Urvasi? |
| 14080 | Now, with regard to all these strange usages, what is the method of folklore? |
| 14080 | One of the oldest problems has already risen before us in connection with the question stated-- is art the gratification of the imitative faculty? |
| 14080 | Or is it a mere savage invention, surviving( like certain other features of the Greek mysteries) from a distant stage of savagery? |
| 14080 | Or is the bull- roarer a toy that might be accidentally hit on in any country where men can sharpen wood and twist the sinews of animals into string? |
| 14080 | Or was the Indian name for beaver( temakse) once a name for the sun? |

| 14080 | The Samoans put the riddle,''A man who stands between two ravenous fishes?'' |
| 14080 | The end of the polemic against the primitiveness of fetichism deals with the question,''Whence comes the supernatural predicate of the fetich?'' |
| 14080 | The king raised a temple, and offered sacrifice-- to the rats? |
| 14080 | The problem remained, how did the fathers of the Athenians ever come to tell such myths? |
| 14080 | The question is, How did men ever come to believe in powers infinite, invisible, divine? |
| 14080 | The questions may be asked, Has race nothing, then, to do with myth? |
| 14080 | The scholarly method has now been applied for many years, and what are the results? |
| 14080 | Then wailed Heaven and exclaimed Earth,"Wherefore this murder? |
| 14080 | They had to do it; and when he came to the big stone, the giant said,''What time of day is it?'' |
| 14080 | This question, or rather the somewhat similar question,''How did the constellations come by their very peculiar names?'' |
| 14080 | This was unscientific; but is it scientific of Mr. Max Muller to discuss animal- worship without any reference to totemism? |
| 14080 | Thus, for instance, the Wolufs of Senegal ask each other,''What flies for ever, and rests never?'' |
| 14080 | Was the fairy- love, Urvasi, originally caught and held by Pururavas among her naked and struggling companions? |
| 14080 | We do not know, and how can the Australians know, that the lost star was once the brightest? |
| 14080 | We know that we derive many of the names straight from the Greek; but whence did the Greeks get them? |

| 3743 | And, on the other hand, are we to suppose that every world in the boundless creation had an Eve, an apple, a serpent, and a redeemer? |
| 3743 | Are these things, and the blessings they indicate in future, nothing to, us? |
| 3743 | Are we sure that the books that tell us so were written by his authority? |
| 3743 | BUT if objects for gratitude and admiration are our desire, do they not present themselves every hour to our eyes? |
| 3743 | BUT some perhaps will say-- Are we to have no word of God-- no revelation? |
| 3743 | But how was Jesus Christ to make anything known to all nations? |
| 3743 | But why must the moon stand still? |
| 3743 | Can our gross feelings be excited by no other subjects than tragedy and suicide? |
| 3743 | Can we conceive anything more destructive to morality than this? |
| 3743 | Do we not see a fair creation prepared to receive us the instant we are born-- a world furnished to our hands, that cost us nothing? |
| 3743 | Do we want to contemplate his mercy? |
| 3743 | Do we want to contemplate his munificence? |
| 3743 | Do we want to contemplate his power? |
| 3743 | Do we want to contemplate his wisdom? |
| 3743 | Does not the creation, the universe we behold, preach to us the existence of an Almighty power, that governs and regulates the whole? |
| 3743 | First, Canst thou by searching find out God? |
| 3743 | For what reason, or on what authority, should we do this? |
| 3743 | From whence, I ask, could he gain that knowledge, but from the study of the true theology? |
| 3743 | Having published his predictions, he withdrew, says the story, to the east side of the city.--But for what? |

| 3743 | Is it we that light up the sun; that pour down the rain; and fill the earth with abundance? |
| 3743 | Now, in the name of common sense, can it be Joshua that relates what people had done after he was dead? |
| 3743 | Of this class are, EZEKIEL and DANIEL; and the first question upon these books, as upon all the others, is, Are they genuine? |
| 3743 | Or is the gloomy pride of man become so intolerable, that nothing can flatter it but a sacrifice of the Creator? |
| 3743 | Or of what use is it that this immensity of worlds is visible to man? |
| 3743 | Secondly, Canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection? |
| 3743 | Since then no part of our earth is left unoccupied, why is it to be supposed that the immensity of space is a naked void, lying in eternal waste? |
| 3743 | Some Christians pretend that Christianity was not established by the sword; but of what period of time do they speak? |
| 3743 | The first question, however, upon the books of the New Testament, as upon those of the Old, is, Are they genuine? |
| 3743 | The question upon this passage is, At what time did the Jebusites and the children of Judah dwell together at Jerusalem? |
| 3743 | This brings on a supposed expostulation between the Almighty and the prophet; in which the former says,"Doest thou well to be angry for the gourd? |
| 3743 | Those books, therefore, have neither been written by the men called apostles, nor by imposters in concert.--How then have they been written? |
| 3743 | To what cause then are we to assign this skulking? |
| 3743 | What certainty then can there be in the Bible for any thing? |
| 3743 | What have ye still to offer against the pure and moral religion of deism, in support of your system of falsehood, idolatry, and pretended revelation? |
| 3743 | What is it that we have learned from this pretended thing called revealed religion? |

| 3743 | What more does man want to know, than that the hand or power that made these things is divine, is omnipotent? |

| 3743 | What shadow of pretence have ye now to produce for continuing the blasphemous fraud? |

| 3743 | Who can say by what exceeding fine action of fine matter it is that a thought is produced in what we call the mind? |
| 3743 | Who is there among you of all his people? |
| 3743 | Why then are we to believe the same thing of another girl whom we never saw, told by nobody knows who, nor when, nor where? |
| 3743 | Why then is it to be supposed they have changed with respect to man? |
| 3743 | Would it not then have been the same if he had died of a fever or of the small pox, of old age, or of anything else? |

| 33677 | _ Therefore the moral question always takes the form of asking: What am I to do? 33677 And are not all such forms of religion, as far as they go, practical? 33677 And by what means shall we decide such questions? 33677 And does the conclusion merely result from our power to form abstract ideas? 33677 And his failure, to what was it due? 33677 And if so,_ why_ is it rational? 33677 And in this case, as you may now say, why use two words at all? 33677 And may not just this be a source of insight which is employed in many of the processes ordinarily known as reasoning processes? 33677 And now, I ask you, What is the spirit which rules such lives? 33677 And so the question has presented itself: Have we any evidence that such a superhuman type of life is a real fact in the world? 33677 And the question: What is it that, on the whole, I would choose to do if I had the power? 33677 And when he returned to battle, what became of Hector? 33677 Are there as many supreme aims of life as there are individuals? 33677 Are there as many ways of salvation as there are religions that men follow? 33677 Are these objections just? 33677 Are they right? 33677 As for our blunders, what more precious privilege do we all claim than the privilege of making our own blunders, or at least a due proportion of them? 33677 But are the partisans of ways of salvation{ 15} confined to such serious and unworldly souls as were the early Buddhists and the ancient moralists? 33677 But can it enter into our will and give us a plan of life? 33677 But can it save us? 33677 But how is this divine to be known? 33677 But is it rational to do this? 33677 But what are the merits of the case? 33677 But what, you may ask, do I mean by the salvation of man or by man''s need of salvation? 33677 But when you form an opinion, what are you trying to do? 33677 But who amongst us ever goes beyond thus confidently holding that he reflects the common- sense of mankind? 33677 But-- so such teachers hold-- why sell all that you have to buy that pearl, when by nature you are able to win it through a reasonable effort? 33677 By revelation? 33677 Can a plain man who is no philosopher feel this need? 33677 Can it direct life? 33677 Can one face{ 243} sorrow with any really deeper trust in life? 33677 Can such an ideal remain wholly a matter of theory? 33677 Can these objects be defined as realities or asvalues"that our social experience sufficiently brings to our knowledge? |
| 33677 | Can this view satisfy? |
| 33677 | Can we say that this source gives us genuine insight and is trustworthy? |
| 33677 | Could one love such a being, or devoutly commune with his perfect but motionless wisdom? |
| 33677 | Could one steadily conceive God in these terms without constantly renewing one''s power to face the world with courage? |
| 33677 | Do n''t you see what ails your father''s point of view, and my wife''s? |
| 33677 | Do they merely say: God is omniscient, therefore our life has its purpose defined, and we are saved? |
| 33677 | Does it belong only to the childhood of the spirit? |
| 33677 | Does it teach us about anything that is real; and if this be so, how far does this source of insight go? |
| 33677 | Does this statement seem to you an absurd quibble? |
| 33677 | Face such tragedy, however, and what does it show you? |
| 33677 | For now the question arises: What way leads to salvation? |
| 33677 | For the question arises: What is it, on the whole, that I choose to do? |
| 33677 | Granting the validity of the argument sketched in our last lecture, what has the all- wise knower of truth to do with our salvation? |
| 33677 | Had he chosen to be a hermit, or a saint, or a Stoic, what would just such{ 188} a career and such a reputation have been to him? |
| 33677 | Has its cause the characters that mark a fitting cause of loyalty? |
| 33677 | How can a good God permit this horror in my life?" |
| 33677 | How could he have lost unless he had sought? |
| 33677 | How does pragmatism view the very problem about the truth and error of our human opinions which has led me to such far- reaching consequences? |
| 33677 | How does such a view give a man the power to live more reasonably than he otherwise would live? |
| 33677 | How does the insight of the reason enlighten us in this respect? |
| 33677 | How is the bank able to recognise this revelation of the depositor''s will? |
| 33677 | How is this apparition of the divine in the human, of the supernatural in the natural, conceivable? |
| 33677 | How is tribulation related to religious insight? |
| 33677 | I"What does one mean by the Reason?" |
| 33677 | In what sense can there be a religion of the social consciousness? |
| 33677 | Is it a barren abstraction? |
| 33677 | Is it consistent only with a highly sensitive and mystical temperament? |
| 33677 | Is it exclusively connected with the belief in some one creed? |
| 33677 | Is it not from its very essence an appeal to the will? |
| 33677 | Is it the fruit of abstract thinking alone? |
| 33677 | Is it the peculiar possession of the philosophers? |
| 33677 | Is life really a good at all, since there is so much sorrow in it? |
| 33677 | Is not such a conception a vitally important spring of action for those who possess it? |
| 33677 | Is such a direct touch with the divine possible? |
| 33677 | Is the recognition of an all- seeing insight, as something real, not in itself calming, sustaining, rationalising? |
| 33677 | Is there any mode of living that is just_ both_ to the moral and to the religious motives? |
| 33677 | Is there any value in considering this abstract statement of the principles upon which this dilemma seems to be founded? |
| 33677 | Is this form of consciousness something belonging only to highly and intellectually cultivated souls? |
| 33677 | May not all genuine demonstration involve synthesis as well as analysis, the making of new constructions as well as the dissection of old assertions? |
| 33677 | May not analysis be merely an aspect, a part of our live thinking? |
| 33677 | May there not be another source of knowledge? |
| 33677 | Must not any prudent person be afraid of life? |
| 33677 | Must one choose between inarticulate faith and barren abstractions? |
| 33677 | Must one face the alternative: Either intuition without reasoning, or else relatively fruitless analysis without intuition? |
| 33677 | Nevertheless, the question: How far is man naturally in danger of missing this supreme goal? |
| 33677 | Now do you not know people whose religion is of this sort? |
| 33677 | Now is this conclusion the result of a mere analysis of either of the two assertions made? |
| 33677 | Now, how shall such a knowledge of the divine autograph have arisen in the mind of the individual believer? |
| 33677 | Or, on the other hand, does it arise solely through dumb and inarticulate intuitions? |
| 33677 | Ought n''t one to try to be safe?" |
| 33677 | Ought the lovers to defy fortune and to ignore obvious worldly prudence? |
| 33677 | Our question is:"Is there, indeed, such a diviner life?" |
| 33677 | The problem with which these lectures are to deal is: What are the sources of such insight? |
| 33677 | The question is, how is this possible? |
| 33677 | The question remains: Through what source of insight are we able to adjust our daily lives to this divine wisdom and to this divine will? |
| 33677 | The question: What am I to do? |
| 33677 | The verdict of humanity? |
| 33677 | V Now in what way can I hope, you may ask, to answer these impressive and to many recent writers decisive considerations of the pragmatists? |
| 33677 | We now ask: What is the principle which dominates such lives? |
| 33677 | Were all of them more or less right? |
| 33677 | Were any of them wholly deluded? |
| 33677 | Were not the prophets of Israel social reformers? |
| 33677 | Were not the world as it now is very evil, what, then, were the call for religion? |
| 33677 | What does it profit a man, you will say, to view the whole world as the object present to an all- embracing and divine insight? |
| 33677 | What does poor humanity know as to the real values of our destiny? |
| 33677 | What has religion had to teach us, some will insistently ask, more saving, unifying, sustaining, than this love of man for man? |
| 33677 | What is the extent, what are the limitations of the truth that one can hope in this way to gain? |
| 33677 | What light can my individual experience throw upon vast problems such as this? |
| 33677 | What man ever finds immediately presented to his own personal insight that totality of data upon which this verdict is said to depend? |
| 33677 | What need do they show? |
| 33677 | What would one do for a divine Logos, for an all- observant and all- comprehending seer? |
| 33677 | Whatever they may think of my philosophy, have I been just to their practical fervour and to their energetic devotion? |
| 33677 | When did they begin to be really patriots and servants of mankind? |
| 33677 | When did they begin to be truly and heartily religious? |
| 33677 | When the plain man feels what I venture thus to formulate, how will he express his longing? |
| 33677 | Who amongst us personally and individually experiences, at any moment, the confirmation said to be given by the verdict of humanity? |
| 33677 | Who of us can tell? |
| 33677 | Who, amongst us, whatever his own cause, is not instructed and aided in his loyalty by the faithful deed of such a devoted soul? |
| 33677 | Why not choose one who brings no such sorrow with her? |
| 33677 | Why, then, have I introduced this mere sketch of philosophical idealism into our inevitably crowded programme? |
| 33677 | Would you forget your lost love, or your dead, or your"days that are no more,"even if you could? |

| 31920 | And was it not a wonderful place, since the heat and light of the sun and the warm, fructifying rain came from it? |
| 31920 | And what were the clouds that floated across it like huge birds or strange, gigantic creatures? |
| 31920 | And why was it celebrated with such fervor? |
| 31920 | Are You Human? |
| 31920 | Are the wicked such hopeless creatures? |
| 31920 | Besides, is not might the sanction of right? |
| 31920 | But does it do this? |
| 31920 | But does not this rejection involve a similar rejection of science? |
| 31920 | But is it anything more than daydreaming? |
| 31920 | But is not the theological miracle an instance of just such uncontrolled speculation? |
| 31920 | But is not this, itself, one of those deluding hopes which the attitude of compromise fosters? |
| 31920 | But what have modern science and philosophy to say about these age- old ideas? |
| 31920 | But why are such apologies felt to be necessary? |
| 31920 | But why save them? |
| 31920 | But will there be less of secret disappointment with life, less of wounded affection? |
| 31920 | Can it be denied that the burden of proof rests on those who assert immortality? |
| 31920 | Can one deny that this subtle personality, for all his gifts, brought distorting values into the current of life? |
| 31920 | Can our musings become definite without revealing themselves as fancies? |
| 31920 | Can science admit the reality of a special providence at work in the world? |
| 31920 | Can this primary assumption be taken from religion without destroying it? |
| 31920 | Can we find a clew to guide us? |
| 31920 | Could the thought help coming to him that perhaps he was the one to inaugurate the kingdom? |

| 31920 | Do not the dead, then, have some sort of life? |
| 31920 | Do the decencies of life find sufficient ground in human nature for their continuance and increase? |
| 31920 | Do we not know that many great medià ¦ val doctors had to fight against their love of literature and art? |
| 31920 | Does democracy yet accord with such a religion? |
| 31920 | Does it help us to meet the facts and events of human life? |
| 31920 | Does it to- day stress the most important things? |
| 31920 | Does morality any longer need the sanctions and supernatural setting which helped to support it in other days? |
| 31920 | Does the recognition of historical continuity preclude the acknowledgment of very radical changes? |
| 31920 | Has not the free life of the present outgrown any centralized and institutionalized control? |
| 31920 | Has not the idea of another life encouraged a false perspective in regard to this one? |
| 31920 | Has science dug so sharply around the roots of these old beliefs that they are bound to decay? |
| 31920 | Have human values become self- supporting and self- justifying? |

| 31920 | How can we expect to revive a zest in life by cutting the grown personality loose from what it has fed upon? |
| 31920 | How can we harmonize this cry with his earlier faith in an Everlasting Will and a Providential Government of the world? |
| 31920 | How could it be shown that these peculiar events were the acts of a supernatural agent? |
| 31920 | How did man arise? |
| 31920 | How did the earth come to be? |
| 31920 | How far is this a genuine antithesis? |
| 31920 | How is it that an omnipotent and noble God permits these{ 162} things to be? |
| 31920 | If the mind- body problem were solved in a concrete, empirical way, what then? |
| 31920 | If the religious view of the world leads to this_ impasse_, may it not be better to take a more inductive way of approach to what we call evil? |
| 31920 | In ethical monotheism, may not the_ monotheism_ be the protecting envelope from which the butterfly has already flown? |
| 31920 | In the first place, was the physical{ 42} world created? |
| 31920 | Is it fruitful? |
| 31920 | Is it justifiable to retain the term religion when its ancient setting has been so completely discarded? |
| 31920 | Is it necessary to say that primitive man thought of all evils as due to mysterious potencies which surrounded him on every hand? |
| 31920 | Is it not evident that the wish has been father to the thought in this case? |
| 31920 | Is it not evident that we have in these beliefs the expression of personal agency, an idea continuous with mythology? |
| 31920 | Is it not evident that we must apply to them the same stringent tests that the scientist employs? |
| 31920 | Is it not like exploring the chambers and corridors of a house in which one shall live for a stated period? |
| 31920 | Is it to be placed on the dissection- table and teased apart into its component strands? |
| 31920 | Is not even the soul to be spared the siege before which the human body fell? |
| 31920 | Is not the question in large measure one of definition? |
| 31920 | Is not this positive enough? |
| 31920 | Is not, therefore, the very meaning of mental capacity connected with the needs and activities of the organism? |
| 31920 | Is punishment an end in itself? |
| 31920 | Is the Christian view of the world inseparably bound up with this ancient outlook, or can it be purged of it? |
| 31920 | Is the explanation far to seek? |
| 31920 | Is the moral fervor and idealism of Christianity its essential and permanent contribution, a contribution to a rational appreciation of human life? |
| 31920 | Is the soul any longer in favor? |
| 31920 | Is there a better term than religion? |
| 31920 | Is there any reason to suppose that its theological envelope will be able to place a boundary to the extent of this change? |
| 31920 | Is there not more than a note of skepticism in that much- approved saying:"God helps those who help themselves?" |
| 31920 | Is there not something Byronic in much of Arnold''s religious poetry? |
| 31920 | Is there not something parallel to this in ethics? |
| 31920 | Is there not too much of the pageant of the bleeding heart in his sighs of regret and farewell? |
| 31920 | Is this not the inevitable deduction from an ethical monotheism? |
| 31920 | Is this view very far different from the account given in the so- called second story of creation beginning with verse four of Genesis? |
| 31920 | It is, according to Reinach, the development of the following naïve dialogue:"Why is this eagle crucified? |
| 31920 | Its motto is,"What hath not man wrought?" |
| 31920 | Man is naturally dramatic in his interpretation of life, and what can be more thrilling than a miracle? |
| 31920 | May it not be that the real strength and freeing power of ethical monotheism is due to the reason which created it and speaks through it? |
| 31920 | May it not be that these sentiments can be given another setting and other objects? |
| 31920 | May it not remove a dead- weight of inhibitions which has kept the human spirit under bonds to past attitudes and methods? |
| 31920 | May not God guide the course of natural change? |
| 31920 | May not reality be of such a character that evil is as natural as good? |
| 31920 | Must not the same arrow transfix an effective God that does away with an effective Devil? |
| 31920 | Need he who has an inalienable treasure fear robbery? |
| 31920 | Now the question, Do miracles happen? |
| 31920 | Or does it simply mean that men have never before thought of such things as indeterminate sentences and reformation? |
| 31920 | Or is it still too timid, negative, thin and uninstructed? |
| 31920 | Or is the rescuing hand of a supernatural grace necessary to prevent deterioration? |
| 31920 | Our answer to the question, Do miracles happen? |
| 31920 | Plato''s idea of the{ 146} soul as a simple, indestructible substance awakens hardly an echo in their minds-- and why should it? |
| 31920 | Science has helped to do away with the devil; but, in so doing, has it not also undermined the idea of Providence? |
| 31920 | Shall we assert that Greek art was supernatural because it was unique? |
| 31920 | Shall we say that English constitutional development is supernatural because no other nation achieved such a form of government by itself? |
| 31920 | Should not the vice- regent of God rule upon the earth and make the divine law the law of the nations? |
| 31920 | The basic problem may be put in this way: Can human personality be included in nature in a theoretically satisfactory way? |
| 31920 | The query will not down, Why does this omnipotent and ethically perfect deity permit such a being to exist to work havoc amongst his children? |
| 31920 | The test questions are, first, Is it his nature to want to do these abrupt things? |
| 31920 | The waters desired,''How can we be reproduced?'' |
| 31920 | To many it will come like a plunge in cold water: but may not such a plunge do them good by waking them from their dogmatic slumbers? |
| 31920 | Under such conditions of origin, how can we begin to separate reason and revelation? |
| 31920 | Was this not because man and human society had evolved ethically and socially? |
| 31920 | Were the views of Jesus like those of his age? |
| 31920 | What advance did they contain? |
| 31920 | What answer must be given to these troubled minds? |
| 31920 | What are some of the social conditions of a noble life? |
| 31920 | What can a trance be if not the temporary absence of just such an agent? |
| 31920 | What could be more natural than this parallelism? |
| 31920 | What critic can pass assured judgment upon this continuous play? |
| 31920 | What factual basis could there be for such myths of the end of the world? |
| 31920 | What is magic? |
| 31920 | What is myth and legend and what is historic fact? |
| 31920 | What is this Hell into which Jesus is supposed to have descended? |
| 31920 | What is this Word or Logos with which the historical Jesus was identified? |
| 31920 | What moorings did they have? |
| 31920 | What more is there to say? |
| 31920 | What motive would there be for skepticism? |
| 31920 | What shall we say of it? |
| 31920 | What was more natural than the hypothesis that those whom disasters overtook had been guilty of some secret wrong? |
| 31920 | What was the weakness of the movement? |
| 31920 | What, then, are the limits of personal agency? |
| 31920 | When the necessary critical work has been done, what is left of the stately theology reared by Church Fathers, councils and scholastics? |
| 31920 | Who has not heard of the Cathars or Albigenses of the Middle Ages? |
| 31920 | Who set the stage and placed the puppets on it? |
| 31920 | Why did he permit them? |
| 31920 | Why did this type of ritual arise? |
| 31920 | Why? |
| 31920 | Why? |
| 31920 | Will not the next step in religion be the relinquishment of the supernatural and the active appreciation of virtues and values? |
| 31920 | Will sufficient identity remain to make the term still significant? |
| 31920 | With the advent of the Copernican view what becomes of these age- old ideas? |
| 31920 | Would progress come if the generations did not pass? |
| 31920 | Yet how else can critical thought portray creation? |
| 31920 | _ Is God an agent or an ideal_? |
| 31920 | _ Is not loyalty to these spiritual values of human life coming to be the sole meaning of religion_? |
| 31920 | second, Is this conception of an omnipotent God the most satisfactory hypothesis? |

| 30209 | Doth Job fear God for nought? |
| 30209 | Hullo, Balaam, what''s this? |
| 30209 | I beg pardon,said he,"for troubling you so, but do you mind knocking off another ten, and making thirty of it?" |
| 30209 | Now,said they,"there is nothing at all, besides this manna, before our eyes- Who shall give us flesh to eat?" |
| 30209 | Oh,said they,"is that all you can do?" |
| 30209 | Then,continues our narrative,"said they unto him, Tell us, we pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us? |
| 30209 | War did you larn dat? |
| 30209 | Well,said the Lord,"have you observed my servant Job? |
| 30209 | What meanest thou, O sleeper? |
| 30209 | What,quoth he,"have we here? |
| 30209 | Why,said he,"art thou wroth? |
| 30209 | Wo n''t you? |
| 30209 | And how could they resolve to build a"city,"when they had never seen one, and had no knowledge of what it was like? |
| 30209 | And how were the tents carried? |
| 30209 | And may we not say, that if asses did not see angels first, wise men would never see them after? |
| 30209 | And they called unto Lot, and said unto him,"Where are the men which came in unto thee this night? |
| 30209 | And what was the mark? |
| 30209 | And who can wonder that he did so? |
| 30209 | And why, if he wanted to kill him, did he not succeed in doing it? |
| 30209 | Besides, the Jews had arms in the desert, and how could they have possessed them there unless they obtained them in Egypt? |
| 30209 | But how, in that case, could a distinctive mark be any protection? |
| 30209 | But suppose Noah to have succeeded in his arduous enterprise, the question still remains, how did he keep his wonderful zoological collection alive? |
| 30209 | But the doctors differ, and who shall decide? |
| 30209 | But why did they disperse? |
| 30209 | Could a nation of hereditary cowards become stubborn warriors in the short space of a month? |
| 30209 | Could anything more conclusively prove the mythical character of the narrative? |
| 30209 | Could the force of folly farther go? |
| 30209 | Did God destroy their verbal memory? |
| 30209 | Did ever another general receive such extraordinary instructions from his commander- in- chief? |
| 30209 | Did he affect the organs of articulation, so that the sounds of the primeval language could not be reproduced? |
| 30209 | Did he paralyse a part of their brain, so that, although they remembered the words, they could not speak them? |
| 30209 | Did they really think they would ever succeed in building so high? |
| 30209 | Did they suppose that_ all_ of them could abuse the two strangers? |
| 30209 | Does any instructed man believe in the possibility of such multiplication? |
| 30209 | Does this not bear out great Bacon''s remark that"in all superstition, wise men follow fools"? |
| 30209 | Gravitation would defeat the cohesion of morter Why did not God leave them alone? |
| 30209 | Had he forgotten the law of gravitation and the principles of architecture? |
| 30209 | Had he not told them"that he fled from the presence of the Lord?" |
| 30209 | Hamlet.--Or like a whale? |
| 30209 | Hast thou eaten of that tree, eh?" |

| 30209 | He therefore first raised an objection as to his own insignificance--"Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh?" |
| 30209 | How can Christians explain it? |
| 30209 | How can the Christian dare to justify such awful cruelty? |
| 30209 | How can this difference be accounted for? |
| 30209 | How could God look with delight upon an offering which the offerer himself did not regard with unalloyed satisfaction? |
| 30209 | How could Noah, in those days of difficult locomotion, have journeyed in search of these across broad rivers, and over continents and oceans? |
| 30209 | How could he encourage by his applause a man whose heart was poisoned by the mean and miserable passion of envy?" |
| 30209 | How could making a name, for the information of nobody but themselves, prevent their dispersion? |
| 30209 | How could she have so clearly anticipated his sad fate? |
| 30209 | How could they and their new- born children have started off in such a summary manner? |
| 30209 | How could they possibly have provided themselves with so much food on so short a notice? |
| 30209 | How could two midwives possibly attend to all the confinements among such a population? |
| 30209 | How did Cain manage to go"out from the presence of the Lord,"who is everywhere? |

| 30209 | How else could he have given us an authentic version of the long colloquies that were carried on in heaven? |
| 30209 | How high did these primitive builders think heaven was? |
| 30209 | How is it, too, that no other ancient people has preserved any record of this marvellous occurrence? |
| 30209 | How was it possible for them to keep pace with their human fellow- travellers? |
| 30209 | How was their language"confounded?" |
| 30209 | How was this miracle wrought? |
| 30209 | How were all the animals, with their food, got into the ark? |
| 30209 | How were the flocks and herds driven out in such haste? |
| 30209 | How were the two million sheep and two hundred thousand oxen provisioned during this journey? |
| 30209 | How where the inmates of this floating menagerie, supposing them got in, supplied with fresh air? |
| 30209 | How, in a period of two hundred and fifteen years, did the seventy males of Jacob''s house multiply into a nation of over two millions? |

| 30209 | If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? |
| 30209 | If, however, the tempter_ was_ the Devil, what chance had the poor woman against his seductive wiles? |
| 30209 | Is it credible that all these animals were collected together from such a wide area, and driven out of Egypt in one night? |
| 30209 | Is it likely that_ every_ male in the city, past the age of puberty, should burn with unnatural lust at one and the same time? |
| 30209 | Is it not as credible, and quite as moral, as the Bible story of Jehovah''s lengthening out the day to prolong a massacre? |
| 30209 | Is there a single philologist living who believes this? |
| 30209 | Kalisch points out that"the great scantiness of food? |
| 30209 | Many more women must have been at the point of confinement How could these have been hurried off at all? |
| 30209 | Meanwhile, what had become of poor Jonah? |
| 30209 | Meanwhile, where was the Devil posted? |
| 30209 | Must we suppose, with Kalisch, that their bondage in Egypt had crushed all valor and manhood out of their breasts? |
| 30209 | Starting from this conclusion, what should we expect to find in our geological researches? |
| 30209 | Suppose there are fifty righteous men in Sodom, wo n''t you, just for their sake, spare the place?" |
| 30209 | The angel of the Lord said to Balaam, while he remained flat on his face,"Wherefore hast thou smitten thine ass these three times? |
| 30209 | Their simple ignorance is intelligible, but how can we explain the ignorance of God? |
| 30209 | Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? |
| 30209 | Then the ass rejoined,"Am not I thine ass, upon which thou hast ridden ever since I was thine unto this day? |
| 30209 | Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this? |
| 30209 | Was I ever wo nt to do so unto thee?" |
| 30209 | Was ever a more ludicrous story palmed off on a credulous world? |
| 30209 | Was he, who made the heaven and the earth, ignorant of the distance between them? |
| 30209 | Was it God, was it Satan, or was it both? |
| 30209 | Were the Greeks any bigger liars than the Jews? |
| 30209 | Were the linch- pins too tight or the wheels too heavy? |
| 30209 | Were these carefully got ready in expectation? |
| 30209 | Were they dead carcasses, or were they live cattle miraculously created in the interim? |
| 30209 | Were they not, as we said at the outset, a queer lot? |
| 30209 | What beasts, then, were these tortured with boils? |
| 30209 | What became of Lot and his daughters? |
| 30209 | What became of all the fish? |
| 30209 | What became of all the vegetation? |
| 30209 | What could poor Eve think? |
| 30209 | What d''ye mean?" |
| 30209 | What did the Jews themselves live on? |
| 30209 | What did the drove live upon during the journey from Barneses to Succoth, and from Succoth to Etham, and from Etham to the Red Sea? |
| 30209 | What had they done to be treated thus? |
| 30209 | What is thine occupation? |
| 30209 | What provision was made for the_ carnivorous_ animals, for lions, tigers, vultures, kites, and hawks? |
| 30209 | What should we think of a legislator who proposed that the descendants of all thieves should be imprisoned, and the descendants of all murderers hung? |
| 30209 | What then must we think of the rest? |
| 30209 | What then was left for the locusts to eat? |
| 30209 | What was to be done? |
| 30209 | What were they about, to let him do all this with such consummate ease? |
| 30209 | When did the new creation of fish take place? |
| 30209 | Whence and how did Noah procure the food for his huge menagerie? |
| 30209 | Whence did all this water come? |
| 30209 | Whence did the Jews obtain their arms? |
| 30209 | Where did all the water come from? |
| 30209 | Where had Satan been, and what had he been doing? |
| 30209 | Where was the land of Nod situated? |
| 30209 | Where, in the whole history of religion, shall we find a viler sample of divine injustice? |
| 30209 | Whereupon the Lord said coaxingly,"Doest thou well to be angry?" |
| 30209 | Which of these two spoke the truth? |
| 30209 | While God was engaged in the work of creation, why did he not make two human couples, instead of one? |
| 30209 | Who was she? |
| 30209 | Who will explain this astounding neglect? |
| 30209 | Who would have thought him capable of such disinterested conduct? |
| 30209 | Why could he not do the same on this occasion? |
| 30209 | Why did he fear that everybody would try to kill him? |
| 30209 | Why did he not profit by the lesson of the Flood? |

| 16295 | ''), in which the following question occurs,''On what is the air founded?'' |
| 16295 | ''But when the Self only is all this, how should he see another?'' |
| 16295 | ''Others say, in the beginning there was that only which is not; but how could it be thus, my dear? |
| 16295 | ''Where one sees nothing else?'' |
| 16295 | ''Who is that one god( in whom all the other gods are contained)? |
| 16295 | --''Is there something which is more than speech?'' |
| 16295 | --(But how does this passage convey praise of knowledge?) |
| 16295 | --But how is it known that the Self of delight is the highest Self? |
| 16295 | And again,''Who in truth knows it? |
| 16295 | And how should the indifferent soul move the pradhâna? |
| 16295 | And how then, we ask, can you explain the relation existing between a sufferer and the causes of suffering? |
| 16295 | And if the doctrine of release is untrue, how can we maintain the truth of the absolute unity of the Self, which forms an item of that doctrine? |
| 16295 | And if you ask,''Where does Scripture oppose itself to what is thus established?'' |
| 16295 | And why so? |
| 16295 | And, moreover, how can the divinity, to whom the scriptural passage,''No, no,''denies all attributes, be endowed with all powers? |
| 16295 | Being such, how should it be able to produce effects, although it may be endowed with all powers? |
| 16295 | But how can the avântara- prak/ ri/ ti be called a she- goat? |
| 16295 | But how is it possible that on the interior Self which itself is not an object there should be superimposed objects and their attributes? |
| 16295 | But of what nature is that connexion to be? |
| 16295 | But, again, how can it be said that Scripture is the means of knowing Brahman? |
| 16295 | But, it may be asked, is Brahman known or not known( previously to the enquiry into its nature)? |
| 16295 | But-- it may be objected-- we meet here neither with a question, such as,''Is there something more than vital air?'' |
| 16295 | Bâlâki begins his colloquy with Ajâta/ s/ atru with the offer,''Shall I tell you Brahman?'' |
| 16295 | Compare also the passage,''What trouble, what sorrow can there be to him who has once beheld that unity?'' |
| 16295 | For how can the cognition of unity remove the cognition of manifoldness if both are true? |
| 16295 | For if both were true how could the man who acquiesces in the reality of this phenomenal world be called false- minded[281]? |
| 16295 | For we find, in the Bauddha Scriptures, a series of questions and answers( beginning,''On what, O reverend Sir, is the earth founded? |
| 16295 | For while we meet with a series of questions and answers( such as,''Sir, is there something which is more than a name?'' |
| 16295 | For, from the passage( VII, 24, 1),(''Sir, in what does the bhûman rest? |
| 16295 | He established the earth and this sky; to what God shall we offer our oblation?'' |
| 16295 | He thought, shall I send forth worlds? |
| 16295 | He thought, shall I send forth worlds?'' |
| 16295 | Hence the question may present itself, How many such classes are there? |
| 16295 | How could such a principle be the Self of the non- intelligent pradhâna? |
| 16295 | How could that which is be born of that which is not?'' |
| 16295 | How so? |
| 16295 | How so? |
| 16295 | How then can it be supposed that Brahman, which is likewise of an intelligent nature, should proceed without any auxiliary? |
| 16295 | How then does it follow from the word''Self''that the thinking( ascribed to the cause of the world) is not to be taken in a figurative sense? |
| 16295 | How, indeed, could various impressions originate if no external things were perceived? |
| 16295 | How, moreover, is the conjunction of one atom with another to be imagined? |
| 16295 | How, then, the Sâ@nkhya will ask, do you interpret the phrase''the five five- people?'' |
| 16295 | How? |
| 16295 | How? |
| 16295 | I, 10, 9),''Prastot/ ri/, that deity which belongs to the prastâva,& c.,''and, further on( I, 11, 4; 5),''Which then is that deity? |
| 16295 | I, 3); and''How should he know him by whom he knows all this?'' |
| 16295 | I, 4, 10);''What sorrow, what trouble can there be to him who beholds that unity?'' |
| 16295 | II, 4, 13,''Then by what should he see whom?'' |
| 16295 | II, 4, 6);''But when the Self only is all this, how should he see another, how should he know another, how should he know the knower?'' |
| 16295 | IV, 5, 15,''For where there is duality as it were, then one sees the other; but when the Self only is all this, how should he see another?'' |
| 16295 | If enjoyment, what enjoyment, we ask, can belong to the soul which is naturally incapable of any accretion( of pleasure or pain)[327]? |
| 16295 | If, on the other hand, prâ/ n/ a denoted Brahman, what then could be different from what? |
| 16295 | In favour of which meaning have we then to decide? |
| 16295 | In his own glory?'' |
| 16295 | In the Chândogya( I, 9) the following passage is met with,''What is the origin of this world?'' |
| 16295 | In the sixth prapâ/ th/ aka of the B/ ri/ hadâra/ n/ yaka there is given, in reply to the question,''Who is that Self?'' |
| 16295 | In what way, we ask the Sâ@nkhya, is Brahman''s all- knowingness interfered with by a permanent cognitional activity? |
| 16295 | Is it to be total interpenetration of the two or partial conjunction? |
| 16295 | Now, as later on prâ/ n/ a is declared to be what is most beneficial for man, what should prâ/ n/ a denote but the highest Self? |
| 16295 | Nârada, thus enlightened, starts a new line of enquiry(''Might I, Sir, become an ativâdin by the True?'') |
| 16295 | Of what nature then is the''word''with a view to which it is said that the world originates from the''word?'' |
| 16295 | The concluding clause finally,''How, O beloved, should he know the knower?'' |
| 16295 | The question might therefore be asked,''What reason is there for the subsequent part of the Vedânta- sûtras?'' |
| 16295 | The question then arises: What is the end of the journey, the highest place of Vish/ n/ u? |
| 16295 | This passage giving rise to the question,''How is it the light of lights?'' |
| 16295 | Thus/S/ ruti says,''If a man understands the Self, saying,"I am he,"what could he wish or desire that he should pine after the body?'' |
| 16295 | VII, 24, 1);''But when the Self only has become all this, how should he see another?'' |
| 16295 | We therefore ask: Wherein consists that( alleged) rising from the body? |
| 16295 | What alternative then does recommend itself? |
| 16295 | What is that Vara/ n/ â, what is that Nâsî?'' |
| 16295 | What is that instruction? |
| 16295 | Whence came he thus back?'' |
| 16295 | Where does that avimukta abide? |
| 16295 | Where was he? |
| 16295 | Wherein consists that appearing( of the soul) in its own form? |
| 16295 | While the Sâ@nkhyas employ the term''the Great one,''to denote the first- born entity, which is mere existence[232](? |
| 16295 | Who could breathe, who could breathe forth if that Bliss existed not in the ether( of the heart)? |
| 16295 | Who could breathe, who could breathe forth, if that bliss existed not in the ether? |
| 16295 | Who could here proclaim it, whence this creation sprang?'' |
| 16295 | Why so? |
| 16295 | Why so? |
| 16295 | Why? |
| 16295 | Why? |
| 16295 | Why? |

| 14576 | And if[ Greek], why not clad in bear- skins, and all the rest? |
| 14576 | And what in the name of Eleusis have dialects to do with the circumstance that savages, like Greeks, use Rhombi in their mysteries? |
| 14576 | And who denies it? |

| 14576 | And, if they do n''t, how do we know that kobongs and pacarissas were developed out of sign- boards? |
| 14576 | Apollo_ may_ once have been the sun, but why did he make love as a dog? |

| 14576 | Aryan Totems(?) |
| 14576 | As to the Holy Cross qua fetish, why discuss such free- thinking credulities? |
| 14576 | But how did this mental condition, this early sort of false metaphysics, come into existence? |
| 14576 | But how does the unscientific conduct attributed to De Brosses implicate the modern anthropologist? |
| 14576 | But how does this explain the problem? |
| 14576 | But if the savages tell us about totems, are they not then''casual native informants''? |
| 14576 | But need that somebody have been originally the sun, as Mr. Max Muller and Dr. Tylor think in the cases of Yama and Maui? |
| 14576 | But still, why Tuna? |
| 14576 | But surely his name, even so, might have been carried to the Greeks? |
| 14576 | But the question I tried to answer was,''Why did the Greeks, of all people, tell such a disgusting story?'' |
| 14576 | But what was the origin of sign- boards? |
| 14576 | But where, all this time, is there a reference by Mannhardt to''the general principles of comparative philology''? |
| 14576 | But why was the story told, and why of Tuna? |
| 14576 | But why, on this score, should a man be afraid to make love to a woman of the same nagual? |
| 14576 | But_ whence come the names of eponymous heroes_? |

| 14576 | Did anybody doubt that the Greeks, nay even the Hindus, were uncivilised or savages, before they became civilised or tamed? |
| 14576 | Did anybody? |
| 14576 | Did not this idea reach the Mincopie mind from the same quarter as the stone house, especially as Puluga''s wife is''a green shrimp or an eel''? |
| 14576 | Did they really appear? |
| 14576 | Do these other scholars criticise your equations not''seriously''? |
| 14576 | Do they apply to these as strictly as to ordinary words? |
| 14576 | Do we make it? |
| 14576 | Do_ we_ not try to find out, and really succeed sometimes in finding out,_ why_ a savage cherishes this or that scrap as a''fetish''? |
| 14576 | Does Mr. Frazer think so? |
| 14576 | Does Mr. Max Muller, so strict about evidence, boggle at the stone house, the only son, the shrimp? |
| 14576 | Does Professor Tiele now grasp my meaning( saisir)? |
| 14576 | Does he know why? |
| 14576 | Does he point out that one anthropologist has asked for caution in weighing what the Mincopies told Mr. Man? |

| 14576 | Granting Chkai to be the sun, does that explain why he punishes people who bake bread on Friday? |

| 14576 | How can comparisons be demonstrated before they are made? |
| 14576 | How could it be otherwise?'' |
| 14576 | How could the moon love an eel, except on my own general principle of savage''levelling up''of all life in all nature? |
| 14576 | How could the sun catch the sun in a snare, and beat him so as to make him lame? |
| 14576 | How did it come? |
| 14576 | How is this, may I ask, to account for the story of Daphne? |
| 14576 | How will you explain these hauts faits de l''extase religieuse? |
| 14576 | How, asks Mr. Lefebure, did men come to attribute this vis vivida to persons and things? |
| 14576 | How, then, does the explanation of a hypothetical Dawn- myth apply to the Earth? |
| 14576 | I ask Professor Tiele,''Do you, sir, create light when you open your window- shutters in the morning? |
| 14576 | If evidence can not be trusted about a living and distinguished British subject, how can it be accepted about hallucinations? |
| 14576 | In what questions did I not expect to find reason? |
| 14576 | Is Athene from a Zend root( Benfey), a Greek root( Curtius), or to be interpreted by Sanskrit Ahana( Max Muller)? |
| 14576 | Is Loki a corn- spirit? |
| 14576 | Is Samoa in Melanesia, par exemple? |
| 14576 | May we not decide on the_ logic_ of scholars? |
| 14576 | Mr. Max Muller thinks that he is right, but, till scholars agree, what can we do but wait? |
| 14576 | Mr. McLennan would be, I think, rather surprised at this remark; but what would he do? |
| 14576 | My Crime Now, what important questions was I gliding over? |
| 14576 | Now, can it be by accident that Saranyu in the Veda is Erinnys in Greek? |
| 14576 | Now, except that the bird which laughed sings at sunset, what is there''solar''in all this? |
| 14576 | Or are you ignorant of the names of their works? |
| 14576 | Or does[ Greek] suggest aqua, Achelous the River? |
| 14576 | Perhaps, instead of''the Dark One,''a peasant would say,''What is the Rooky One?'' |
| 14576 | Psychical Research But how is the Fire- walk done? |
| 14576 | Secondly, what does it help us to know that people in Mangaia believed in the change of human beings into trees, if we do not know the reason why? |
| 14576 | Shall we say that he meant''most myths,''''a good many myths,''''a myth or two here and there''? |
| 14576 | So far, what is there''solar''about Maui? |
| 14576 | That I explained the myth of Daphne by the myth of Tuna? |
| 14576 | The Greek Mouse- totem? |
| 14576 | The Indians were, we learn, divided into[ local?] |
| 14576 | The general problem is this: Has language-- especially language in a state of''disease,''been the great source of the mythology of the world? |
| 14576 | They were Arkades, and why not[ Greek]( bears)?'' |
| 14576 | Thus Geistiblindr asks, What is the Dark One That goes over the earth, Swallows water and wood, But is afraid of the wind? |
| 14576 | To this''equation,''as we saw, Mannhardt demurred in 1877. Who was Saranyu? |
| 14576 | Very likely; quis negavit? |
| 14576 | Was Dr. Codrington_ not_ a missionary? |
| 14576 | We might answer,''Why tell you what you know very well?'' |
| 14576 | Well, why is the world- wide tale of the Cyclops told about Odysseus? |
| 14576 | Were the myths, say the myths of Daphne, really solar? |
| 14576 | What accident? |
| 14576 | What anthropologist believes such nonsense? |
| 14576 | What anthropologist of mark accepts as gospel any casual traveller''s tale? |
| 14576 | What can Mr. Max Muller possibly mean? |
| 14576 | What is there new in comparing the customs and myths of the Greeks with those of the barbarians? |
| 14576 | What missionaries? |
| 14576 | What was_ that_ method? |
| 14576 | Where does he accept''the omnipresent Sun and the inevitable Dawn''? |
| 14576 | Who are the''others''who speak of a Greek''culture- hero''by the impossibly fantastic name of''a fire totem''? |
| 14576 | Who does? |
| 14576 | Who says that they do? |
| 14576 | Why Tuna more than Rangoa, or anyone else?'' |
| 14576 | Why not, indeed, if prehistoric Greeks were in touch with India? |
| 14576 | Why not, indeed? |
| 14576 | Why should not a Vedic or Sanskrit goddess of India supply the first germs of a Greek goddess? |
| 14576 | Why should''Attic''and the qualifying phrase be omitted? |
| 14576 | Why, then, should we not rejoice when we find the allusion in Rig Veda?'' |
| 14576 | Will Mr. Frazer give the Arcadian bear''the benefit of the doubt''? |
| 14576 | You can not imagine several generations asking each other-- What is the Rooky One that swallows? |
| 14576 | You would not amuse a rural audience by asking''What is the mist that swallows wood and water?'' |

| 14576 | _ How does this help philological mythology_? |
| 14576 | a totem?'' |
| 14576 | placed by Zeus, her lover, in the sky''as the Bear? |
| 14576 | why not?'' |

| 14576 | { 48} After examining the facts we examine the words, and ask,''Why Burley or Burry men?'' |

| 38375 | Suppose ye that I came to send peace on earth? 38375 * Why should not the Jews have one also? 38375 *Christos being strictly a Greek epithet, would the Jewish populace give a Greek name to a Jew by birth?" |
| 38375 | ** Did he not also spare the ten or more Christian soldiers of his own army, who were proved to have conspired against his life? |
| 38375 | ** Did not Cicero, when he travelled in Greece, find inscriptions on monuments to many Christs? |
| 38375 | ** How could Photius, in the 9th century, find that in Josephus which Origen, in the 3rd century, had declared was not in him? |

| 38375 | And who is to blame for all this? |
| 38375 | But as it is only upon hearsay that I judge of your opinions, pray let me know from yourself your notions respecting the deity? |
| 38375 | Can anything match the stupidity and monstrous credulity of calling such a book the word of God? |

| 38375 | Matthew and John were said to be present-- how came they to omit even the slightest notice of this vital root of Christianity? |

| 7377 | Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth? |
| 7377 | After having once received the human organism, why should a soul choose to go back to the lesser and more imperfect organism of an animal? |
| 7377 | And will you punish him because he can not become so? |
| 7377 | But how can we bring the soul down on the sense plane when it is ethereal and finer than anything that we can perceive with our senses? |
| 7377 | Can a man who possesses the slightest common sense be so unreasonable? |
| 7377 | Do we see in nature any other higher form evolved out of the human body? |
| 7377 | Do you think that the thought- forces of one life- time will end suddenly after death? |
| 7377 | Does heredity explain such cases? |
| 7377 | Does it not seem absurd to you? |
| 7377 | Does the theory of heredity explain it? |
| 7377 | Even if we admit this theory of heredity, then what do we understand? |
| 7377 | From whom did he inherit them? |
| 7377 | How can heredity explain such cases? |
| 7377 | How can something come out of nothing? |
| 7377 | How can such cases be explained by the theory of hereditary transmission? |

| 7377 | If the omnipotent personal God created human souls out of nothing, could He not make all souls equally good and happy? |
| 7377 | If we do not admit this law then the problem will arise: How can non- existence become existent? |
| 7377 | In Psalms we read,"Wilt Thou shew wonders to the dead? |

| 7377 | WHICH IS SCIENTIFIC-- RESURRECTION OR REINCARNATION? |

| 7377 | Who can tell how long it will take to reach that goal? |
| 7377 | Who made one honest and saintly, another an idiot, and so forth? |
| 7377 | Who made these dissimilarities? |
| 7377 | Why are they invisible to us now? |

| 12353 | And what have we to oppose to such a cloud of witnesses, but the absolute_ impossibility, or miraculous nature_ of the events which they relate? |

| 12353 | As Frank and the native were cross- cutting a tree, the native stopped suddenly, and said,"What are you come for?" |
| 12353 | Asked,''what substance?'' |
| 12353 | But how did it come to be thought that a spirit dwelt in a lifeless and motionless piece of stone or stick? |
| 12353 | But how does it apply when, as by the Kurnai, the Supreme Being is reckoned an ancestor? |
| 12353 | But the word in the latter case would react on the thought, till the Roman inhaled( as his life?) |
| 12353 | But this is arguing in a circle; What is''a properly receptive state''? |

| 12353 | Do you not see us hunger? |
| 12353 | Does Mr. Payne mean that a great creative spirit is_ not_ a god, while a spirit kept on board wages in a tangible object is a god? |
| 12353 | Does Mulungu, as Creative God, receive sacrifice, or not? |
| 12353 | First, what was the process of development? |
| 12353 | Frank replied,"What do you mean?" |
| 12353 | Frank said,"Where is he?" |
| 12353 | Given Animism, then, or the belief in spiritual beings, as the earliest form and minimum of religious faith, what is the origin of Animism? |
| 12353 | Granting a primal religion relatively pure in its beginnings, why did it degenerate? |
| 12353 | Granting the belief in souls and ghosts and spirits, however attained, how was the idea of a Supreme Being to be evolved out of that belief? |
| 12353 | Has fetishism one of its origins in the actual field of supernormal experience in the X region? |
| 12353 | Have critics and manual- makers no knowledge of the science of comparative religion? |
| 12353 | He does not ask''Are the phenomena real?'' |
| 12353 | He is called"Dendid"( great rain, that is, universal benediction?).'' |
| 12353 | How are these to be explained? |
| 12353 | How can we know that he was envisaged, originally, as_ Spirit_? |
| 12353 | How did it work? |
| 12353 | How do we explain his lack of adoration? |
| 12353 | How else, thinkers would say, can the seer visit the distant place or person, and correctly describe men and scenes which, in the body, he never saw? |
| 12353 | How in the world can you deify a person whom you do n''t remember? |
| 12353 | How were these contradictions to be reconciled? |
| 12353 | How were they evolved out of the notion of a confessed artificial bogle? |
| 12353 | How, then, did men come to believe in_ him_ as a terrible, all- seeing, all- knowing, creative, and potent moral being? |
| 12353 | I say''creative''because''he made all things,''and( as the bowler said about a''Yorker'')''what else can you call him?'' |
| 12353 | If so, where, precisely, ends its power of carrying facts? |
| 12353 | If we are not to call it''degeneration,''what are we to call it? |
| 12353 | If you can not have''an established ancestor- worship''till you abandon nomadic habits, how, while still nomadic, do you evolve a Supreme Being? |
| 12353 | In any case we ask for evidence how, in the''impenetrable forests''did a new Supreme Deity become universally known? |
| 12353 | In heaven''s name, why not? |
| 12353 | Is Mtanga evolved out of an ancestral ghost? |
| 12353 | Is it because, in a sufficient ratio of cases to provoke remark, early man has found the appearance and the death to be''things connected in fact''? |
| 12353 | Is it not certain that such a being could be conceived of by men who had never dreamed of ghosts? |
| 12353 | Is the idea that, by loosing the bonds, the seer demonstrates the agency of spirits, after the manner of the Davenport Brothers? |
| 12353 | It is a logical creed, but how was the Supreme Being evolved out of the ghost of a''people- devouring king''like Powhattan? |
| 12353 | Langlois?" |
| 12353 | Lastly, when were medicine- men such notable moralists? |
| 12353 | Miss Angus now asked,''Where is my little lady?'' |
| 12353 | Mr. Bissett asked,''What is the man''s expression?'' |
| 12353 | Mr. Oxford know? |
| 12353 | Now, how does this theory of false memory bear on coincidental hallucinations? |
| 12353 | On any such theories as these the belief in a moral Supreme Being is a very late( or a very early?) |
| 12353 | On what does he suppose that the belief of the savage is based? |
| 12353 | One of John Nicholson''s native adorers killed himself on news of that warrior''s death, saying,''What is left worth living for?'' |
| 12353 | Otherwise we might ask: Does Mr. Clodd prefer to be considered not''competent''or not''veracious''? |
| 12353 | Supposing that the arguments in this essay met with some acceptance, what effect would they have, if any, on our thoughts about religion? |
| 12353 | Surely you quite understand my reasoning?'' |
| 12353 | The South Guinea Creator, Anyambia(= good spirit? |
| 12353 | The question thus arises, Is there any truth whatever in these world- wide and world- old stories of inanimate objects acting like animated things? |
| 12353 | The real question is, Do such events occur among lower and higher races, beyond explanation by fraud and fortuitous coincidence? |
| 12353 | The remoteness of the occurrences is more remarkable, for, if these things happen, why were so few recent cases discovered? |
| 12353 | The watcher of conduct, the friendly, creative being of low savage faith, whence was he evolved? |
| 12353 | Then, of course, Nyankupon would receive the best sacrifices of all, as the most powerful deity? |
| 12353 | Therefore a corpse is not a thing( within the meaning of my General Law)''? |
| 12353 | This is very plausible, is it not? |
| 12353 | This_ must_ be so, because the Danites asked the young Levite whether it was not better to be priest to a clan than to an individual? |
| 12353 | To Mr. Tylor''s arguments, when I read them, I replied in the''Nineteenth Century,''January 1899:''Are Savage Gods Borrowed from Missionaries?'' |
| 12353 | To the psychologist who objects that our modern instances are mere anecdotes, we reply by asking,''Dear sir, what are_ your_ modern instances? |
| 12353 | Tom said to me,"Will you go with us to Joe''s, and you will see something you have never seen before?" |
| 12353 | Was He? |
| 12353 | Was there a coincidence at all in the Society''s cases printed in the Census? |
| 12353 | Was this simply a coincidence?'' |
| 12353 | We meet our old problem: How has this God, in the conception of whom there is so much philosophy, developed out of these hungry ghosts? |
| 12353 | What do you know of"Mrs. A.,"whom you still persistently cite as an example of morbid recurrent hallucinations? |
| 12353 | What do you want?" |

| 12353 | What led Herr Parish, an honourable and clearheaded critic, into this maze of incorrect and contradictory assertions? |
| 12353 | What were the processes of the conversion of Twanyirika? |
| 12353 | What, not even if all hallucinations, or ninety- nine per cent., coincided with the death of the person seen? |
| 12353 | What, then, is the origin of Animism? |
| 12353 | Whence came the moral element in the idea of Jehovah? |
| 12353 | Where did she live? |
| 12353 | Where shall we find such a number of circumstances, agreeing to the corroboration of one fact? |
| 12353 | Who vouches for her, who heard her, who understood her? |
| 12353 | Why did Association choose that day, of all days in my life, for her solitary freak? |
| 12353 | Why do you not name a few out of the distinguished crowd? |
| 12353 | Why does he not take care when he pours it out?" |
| 12353 | Why on earth is association so fond of dying people-- granting the statistics, which are''another story''? |
| 12353 | Why only that once? |
| 12353 | Why was Nyankupon, the supposed new god of a new powerful set of strangers, left wholly unpropitiated? |
| 12353 | Why, or how, did a silly buffoon, or a confessed''bogle''arrive at being regarded as a patron of such morality as had been evolved? |
| 12353 | Why, then, is the phantasm supposed by savages to announce death? |
| 12353 | Why, then, when the wraith is seen, is the owner believed to be dying? |
| 12353 | Yet again, whence comes the moral element in Jehovah? |
| 12353 | Yet is this true, or are such experiences only ignored and put aside without serious consideration?'' |
| 12353 | [ 14] What, then, is the cause of the belief that a phantom of a man is a token of his death? |
| 12353 | [ 22] Who is right? |
| 12353 | [ 9] Here is the scientific explanation of Herr Parish:''The shimmer of a reflecting surface[ the sideboard?] |

| 32242 | But where can the monster be? |
| 32242 | But who gave it to you? |
| 32242 | But, can you show me the way to the garden of the Hesperides? |

| 32242 | Is there something alive in the box? 32242 Just take the sky upon your head one instant, will you? |
| 32242 | My dear Epimetheus,cried Pandora,"have you heard this little voice?" |
| 32242 | O Primrose and Periwinkle, do you hear what he says? |
| 32242 | Oh, what shall we do, sisters? 32242 Pandora, what are you thinking of?" |
| 32242 | Perseus,said the voice,"why are you sad?" |
| 32242 | Pray what is the matter with you, this bright morning? |
| 32242 | Pray, my good host, whence did you gather them? |
| 32242 | Pray, my young friend,said he, as they grew familiar together,"what may I call your name?" |
| 32242 | Pray, what do you want with me? |
| 32242 | Pray, who are you, beautiful creature? |
| 32242 | Quicksilver? 32242 Shall I lift the lid again?" |
| 32242 | Shall we not meet her soon? |
| 32242 | So you have got the golden apples? |
| 32242 | Tell me,cried he, before the Old One was well awake,"which is the way to the garden of the Hesperides?" |
| 32242 | The Golden Touch,asked the stranger,"or your own little Marygold, warm, soft, and loving as she was an hour ago?" |
| 32242 | The Golden Touch,continued the stranger,"or a crust of bread?" |
| 32242 | Then you are not satisfied? |
| 32242 | Was it the girdle of Venus,inquired the prettiest of the damsels,"which makes women beautiful?" |
| 32242 | Well, and what of that? |
| 32242 | Well, friend Midas,said the stranger,"pray how do you succeed with the Golden Touch?" |
| 32242 | What can it be? |
| 32242 | What can that be? |
| 32242 | What could induce me? |
| 32242 | What do you want there? |
| 32242 | What in the world do you want here? 32242 What is the matter, father?" |
| 32242 | What sort of a staff had he? |
| 32242 | What will Epimetheus say? 32242 Whence can the box have come?" |
| 32242 | Where are you, Perseus? |
| 32242 | Where is she? |
| 32242 | Where? |
| 32242 | Which shall I strike at? |
| 32242 | Who are ye, wonder- working strangers? |
| 32242 | Who are you, down at my feet there? 32242 Who are you, inside of this naughty box?" |
| 32242 | Who are you? |
| 32242 | Whose garment is this,inquired Perseus,"that keeps rustling close beside me in the breeze?" |
| 32242 | Why do you squeeze me so hard? 32242 Will you be kind enough to tell me whether the fountain has any name?" |
| 32242 | You silly children, what do you want of more snow? |
| 32242 | Your sister? |
| 32242 | Alas, what had he done? |
| 32242 | And almost the first question which she put to him, after crossing the threshold, was this,--"Epimetheus, what have you in that box?" |
| 32242 | And how can I possibly tie it up again?" |
| 32242 | And how long was his little finger?" |
| 32242 | And now, my little auditors, shall I tell you something that will make you open your eyes very wide? |
| 32242 | And pray, adventurous traveler, what do you want there?" |
| 32242 | And this, then, is Pirene? |
| 32242 | And was Cousin Eustace with the party? |
| 32242 | And what could that favor be, unless to multiply his heaps of treasure? |
| 32242 | And what else did Bellerophon behold there? |
| 32242 | And what was to be done? |
| 32242 | And whence do you come, in that little cup?" |
| 32242 | And who are you?" |
| 32242 | And your companion there? |
| 32242 | And, as your next effort, what if you should try your hand on some one of the legends of Apollo?" |
| 32242 | And, on that island, what do you think he saw? |
| 32242 | And, truly, my dear little folks, did you ever hear of such a pitiable case in all your lives? |
| 32242 | Are there no better walkers than yourself in the island of Seriphus?" |
| 32242 | But are you quite sure that this will satisfy you?" |
| 32242 | But was it really and truly an old man? |
| 32242 | But, in the first place, do any of you know what a Gorgon is?" |
| 32242 | But, pray, have you lost a horse? |
| 32242 | Can not I carry the golden apples to the king, your cousin, much quicker than you could? |
| 32242 | Could he drag the plow so well, think you? |
| 32242 | Dear Bellerophon, do you not see that it is no bird? |
| 32242 | Do n''t you pity me, Primrose?" |
| 32242 | Do n''t you see me?" |
| 32242 | Do n''t you think her the exact picture of yourself? |
| 32242 | Do you know whether the winged horse Pegasus still haunts the Fountain of Pirene, as he used to do in your forefathers''days?" |
| 32242 | Do you perceive no nice workmanship in that? |
| 32242 | Do you think that you should be less curious than Pandora? |
| 32242 | Do you think you could tell us another as good?" |
| 32242 | Do you, then, love this king, your cousin, so very much?" |
| 32242 | Has he as strange a one?" |
| 32242 | Have I not faithfully kept my promise with you? |
| 32242 | Have you burnt your mouth?" |
| 32242 | Have you never made the sunshine dance into dark corners, by reflecting it from a bit of looking- glass? |
| 32242 | Have you not everything that your heart desired?" |
| 32242 | How could a helmet make him invisible, unless it were big enough for him to hide under it? |
| 32242 | How many days, think you, would he survive a continuance of this rich fare? |
| 32242 | How shall I make him believe that I have not looked into the box?" |
| 32242 | If any such misfortune were to happen, how could he ever get rid of the sky? |
| 32242 | If you were left alone with the box, might you not feel a little tempted to lift the lid? |
| 32242 | In those days, spectacles for common people had not been invented, but were already worn by kings; else, how could Midas have had any? |
| 32242 | Of that you may be certain; else how could the book go on a step farther? |
| 32242 | Of what use would wings be to a horse? |
| 32242 | On which side of us does it lie? |
| 32242 | Or could it be the beating of her heart? |
| 32242 | Or was it merely the singing in Pandora''s ears? |
| 32242 | Pray, why do you live in such a bad neighborhood?" |
| 32242 | Quicksilver?" |
| 32242 | So you have made a discovery, since yesterday?" |
| 32242 | Tell me, now, do you sincerely desire to rid yourself of this Golden Touch?" |
| 32242 | The ancient poets remodeled them at pleasure, and held them plastic in their hands; and why should they not be plastic in my hands as well?" |
| 32242 | What can have been the matter with them?" |
| 32242 | What could it be, indeed? |
| 32242 | What do you think has happened? |
| 32242 | What harm can there be in opening the box? |
| 32242 | What if you should take my burden on your shoulders, while I do your errand for you?" |
| 32242 | What in the world could we do without her? |
| 32242 | What mortal, even if he possessed a hundred lives, could hope to escape the fangs of such a monster? |
| 32242 | What say you, Sweet Fern, Dandelion, Clover, Periwinkle? |
| 32242 | What sort of a contrivance may that be, I wonder? |
| 32242 | Which of the three is Medusa?" |
| 32242 | Which of these two things do you think is really worth the most,--the gift of the Golden Touch, or one cup of clear cold water?" |
| 32242 | Why, friend, are you in your senses? |
| 32242 | Why, what could have become of the child? |
| 32242 | Would any of you, after hearing this story, be so foolish as to desire the faculty of changing things to gold?" |
| 32242 | Would he be less so by dinner time? |
| 32242 | Would it not be better to set out at once in search of the terrible Gorgons?" |
| 32242 | Yet, what other loaf could it possibly be? |
| 32242 | Your mother, beholding you safe and sound, will shed tears of joy; and what can she do more, should you win ever so great a victory? |

| 3623 | ''So you went to Ka- thlu- el- lon, did you?'' 3623 And do tell me,"she said,"are you quite immortal? |
| 3623 | Can anything be plainer,he might say,"than that I light my twopenny candle on earth and that the sun then kindles his great fire in heaven? |
| 3623 | For why, say they, should they commit an act of aggression, when he and his kindred can so easily repay them? 3623 Of what was he guilty? |
| 3623 | Well,says she,"and where is your death? |
| 3623 | Whither will you send her? |
| 3623 | --"Whose is she?" |
| 3623 | ?\ it in the grass by the wayside. |
| 3623 | Again, though the sun may be said to die daily, in what sense can he be said to be torn in pieces? |
| 3623 | An old woman tended her; and when the girl was grown to maidenhood she asked the old woman,"Where do you go so often?" |
| 3623 | And are you too great an enchanter ever to feel human suffering?" |
| 3623 | And how does he think it may be guarded against? |
| 3623 | And is this the return you make to me?" |
| 3623 | And she meditated in her heart, saying,"Can not I by virtue of the great name of Ra make myself a goddess and reign like him in heaven and earth?" |
| 3623 | And the company of gods cried,"What aileth thee?" |
| 3623 | And who so well fitted to perform the ceremony as the king, the living representative of the sky- god? |
| 3623 | And why, before doing so, had he to pluck the Golden Bough? |
| 3623 | Are the other effigies, which are burned in the spring and midsummer bonfires, susceptible of the same explanation? |
| 3623 | As day by day the sun sank lower and lower in the sky, could he be certain that the luminary would ever retrace his heavenly road? |
| 3623 | As it is being launched, the people cry,"O sickness, go from here; turn back; what do you here in this poor land?" |
| 3623 | At Wiedingharde in Schleswig when a stranger comes to the threshing- floor he is asked,"Shall I teach you the flail- dance?" |
| 3623 | At every bunch of feathers the ghost stops to consider,"Is this the whole of my body or only a part of it?" |
| 3623 | At this juncture I ventured a question:"''Why do you not let him go, or give him some water?'' |
| 3623 | But how did it originate? |
| 3623 | But if his daily death was the theme of the legend, why was it celebrated by an annual ceremony? |
| 3623 | But if the object of the taboos is to save his life, the question arises, How is their observance supposed to effect this end? |
| 3623 | But if these personages represent, as they certainly do, the spirit of vegetation in spring, the question arises, Why kill them? |
| 3623 | But we have still to ask, What was the Golden Bough? |
| 3623 | But we have still to ask, What was the rule of succession to the kingdom among the old Latin tribes? |
| 3623 | But we naturally ask, How did it come about that benefits so great and manifold were supposed to be attained by means so simple? |
| 3623 | Can death never touch you? |
| 3623 | Can they have thought that the mistletoe dropped on the oak in a flash of lightning? |
| 3623 | Diana and Virbius WHO does not know Turner''s picture of the Golden Bough? |
| 3623 | Even if the fire, as seems probable, was originally always made with oak- wood, why should it have been necessary to pull the mistletoe? |

| 3623 | If a man has more vital places than one in his body, why, the savage may think, should he not have more vital places than one outside it? |
| 3623 | If such reasonings could pass muster among ourselves, need we wonder that they long escaped detection by the savage? |
| 3623 | If the priest of Nemi posed not merely as a king, but as a god of the grove, we have still to ask, What deity in particular did he personate? |
| 3623 | If the question is put, why do men desire to deposit their life outside their bodies? |
| 3623 | In another Hindoo tale an ogre is asked by his daughter,"Papa, where do you keep your soul?" |
| 3623 | In such cases the problem for mythology is, having got two distinct personifications of the same object, what to do with them? |
| 3623 | In what way did people imagine that they could procure so many goods or avoid so many ills by the application of fire and smoke, of embers and ashes? |

| 3623 | May not the same rule of descent have furnished a motive for incest with a daughter? |

| 3623 | Mock thunder, we know, has been made by various peoples as a rain- charm in modern times; why should it not have been made by kings in antiquity? |

| 3623 | On perceiving him the peasant called out,"Who is this whom I see coming so proudly along?" |
| 3623 | Others answer thrice,"What have you?" |
| 3623 | She said,"What is it, divine Father? |
| 3623 | So he laughed and said,"Why do you wish to know? |
| 3623 | So the youth asked him,"Tell me, where is your soul hidden? |
| 3623 | The Burning of Effigies in the Fires WE have still to ask, What is the meaning of burning effigies in the fire at these festivals? |
| 3623 | The chief will assemble his men and say to them,''Are you in order in your villages?'' |
| 3623 | The intention doubtless was to keep the names a profound secret; and how could that be done more surely than by sinking them in the sea? |
| 3623 | The reader may well be tempted to ask, How was it that intelligent men did not sooner detect the fallacy of magic? |
| 3623 | The thief may even ask boldly,"Did I pay for it?" |
| 3623 | Then Loki asked,"Have all things sworn to spare Balder?" |
| 3623 | Then another farming- man shouts very loudly,''What have ye? |

| 3623 | We have seen that at Spachendorf, in Austrian Silesia, on the morning of Rupert''s Day( Shrove Tuesday? |
| 3623 | We have still to ask, What is the meaning of such sacrifices? |
| 3623 | We must ask ourselves, Why did the author of these legends pitch upon Orestes and Hippolytus in order to explain Virbius and the King of the Wood? |
| 3623 | We must, therefore, ask: What does early man understand by death? |
| 3623 | What is life without thee? |
| 3623 | What is the object of slaying the spirit of vegetation at any time and above all in spring, when his services are most wanted? |
| 3623 | What more appropriate parentage could be invented for the corn which springs from the ground that has been fertilised by the water of heaven? |
| 3623 | What more could the spirits want? |
| 3623 | What then is the meaning of killing a turtle in which the soul of a kinsman is believed to be present? |
| 3623 | When the question was put, Why they did not hold their noses also, lest the child''s soul should get into one of them? |
| 3623 | Who cut off your head? |
| 3623 | Who knows which? |
| 3623 | Who skinned you? |

| 3623 | Why should it not have obtained in ancient Latium? |
| 3623 | Why then did the Greeks represent the corn both as a mother and a daughter? |
| 3623 | Why was he called the King of the Wood? |
| 3623 | Why was his office spoken of as a kingdom? |
| 3623 | Why were men and animals burnt to death at these festivals? |
| 3623 | Why were you our enemy? |
| 3623 | Why, since he can put his life outside himself, should he not transfer one portion of it to one animal and another to another? |
| 3623 | Will the great movement which for centuries has been slowly altering the complexion of thought be continued in the near future? |
| 3623 | With what heart persist in playing venerable antics that led to nothing, and mumbling solemn balderdash that remained without effect? |
| 3623 | Would it not have been better that we should remain friends? |
| 3623 | Would you not have been better with us? |
| 3623 | and could the good- man and the good- wife deny to the spirits of their dead the welcome which they gave to the cows? |
| 3623 | and may not their union have been yearly celebrated in a_ theogamy_ or divine marriage? |
| 3623 | and why had each candidate for the Arician priesthood to pluck it before he could slay the priest? |
| 3623 | and why in particular should a man be thought to stunt his growth by uttering his own name? |
| 3623 | he said at last,''know you not how precious it is? |
| 3623 | is it in your dwelling?" |
| 3623 | is it water? |
| 3623 | or will a reaction set in which may arrest progress and even undo much that has been done? |

| 14499 | and he should say,"I know not,"and the people should say,"Whom you know not, neither have seen, her you love and long for?" |
| 14499 | and he should say,"No"; and the people should say,"What is her name, is she tall or short, in what place does she live?" |
| 14499 | and he should say,"Yes,"--would not that be foolish? |
| 14499 | as the dull Br[=a]hmanas interpreted that verse of the Rig Veda which asks''to whom( which, as) god shall we offer sacrifice?'' |
| 14499 | should I be immortal by reason of this wealth?'' |
| 14499 | there is a passage like the great Ka hymn of the Rig Veda,''whom as god shall one worship?'' |
| 14499 | they jeered,"Did you not maintain that all was a mere illusion? |
| 14499 | this great spirit( Manabozho,_ mana_ is Manu?) |
| 14499 | who understands it? |
| 37703 | Again I ask: Is the New Testament true? |
| 37703 | And he saith unto them:"Whose is the image and the superscription?" |
| 37703 | Are we to win the happiness of heaven by deserting the ones we love? |
| 37703 | Can the authors of Job and the Psalms be compared with Shakespeare? |
| 37703 | Can we believe in the multiplication of the widow''s oil by Elisha, that an army was smitten with blindness, or that an axe floated in the water? |
| 37703 | Can we believe that Christ raised the dead? |
| 37703 | Can we believe that Elijah brought flames from heaven, or that he went at last to Paradise in a chariot of fire? |
| 37703 | Can we believe that the gods of Egypt worked miracles? |
| 37703 | Can we do this without being inspired ourselves? |
| 37703 | Can we get any good from Jonah and his gourd? |
| 37703 | Can we live without taking thought for the morrow? |
| 37703 | Can we now believe that water was changed into wine? |
| 37703 | Can we now say that Christ was the greatest of philosophers? |
| 37703 | Could a devil have done worse? |
| 37703 | Did Christ love his, when he denounced them as whited sepulchers, hypocrites and vipers? |
| 37703 | Did Christ think that the money belonged to Caesar because his image and superscription were stamped upon it? |
| 37703 | Did God use men as instruments? |
| 37703 | Did any human being ever love his enemies? |
| 37703 | Did he cause them to write his thoughts? |
| 37703 | Did he desert his father and mother? |
| 37703 | Did he express grander truths than Cicero? |
| 37703 | Did he know at the time that Joseph would use the information thus given to rob and enslave the people of Egypt? |
| 37703 | Did he take possession of their minds and destroy their wills? |
| 37703 | Did the author of Genesis know as much about nature as Humboldt, or Darwin, or Haeckel? |
| 37703 | Did the penny belong to Caesar or to the man who had earned it? |
| 37703 | Did these curses, these threats, come from the heart of love or from the mouth of savagery? |
| 37703 | Did they change water into blood, and sticks into serpents? |
| 37703 | Did we get from any of these books a hint of any science? |
| 37703 | Did we get our ideas of government, of religious freedom, of the liberty of thought, from the Old Testament? |
| 37703 | Does God take care of anybody? |
| 37703 | Does any intelligent man believe in the existence of devils? |
| 37703 | Does any natural man now believe that Christ cast out devils? |
| 37703 | Does anybody now believe that an angel went into the pool and troubled the waters? |
| 37703 | Does anybody now think that the poor wretch who got in first was healed? |
| 37703 | Does it appear from this conversation that Christ understood the real nature and use of money? |
| 37703 | Does it civilize us to read about the beheading of the seventy sons of Ahab, the putting out of the eyes of Zedekiah and the murder of his sons? |
| 37703 | Does not every chapter shock the heart of a good man? |
| 37703 | Does the Old Testament satisfy this standard? |
| 37703 | Had Caesar the right to demand it because it was adorned with his image? |
| 37703 | Has Exodus been a help or a hindrance to the human race? |
| 37703 | Has man in his ignorance and fear ever imagined a greater monster? |
| 37703 | Have the barbarians of any land, in any time, worshipped a more heartless god? |
| 37703 | Have these absurdities and cruelties-- these childish, savage superstitions-- helped to civilize the world? |
| 37703 | Have they taught us how to cultivate the earth, to build houses, to weave cloth, to prepare food? |
| 37703 | Have they taught us to paint pictures, to chisel statues, to build bridges, or ships, or anything of beauty or of use? |
| 37703 | Have we not the right to judge for ourselves? |
| 37703 | He said, speaking to his mother:"Woman, what have I to do with thee?" |
| 37703 | How are we bound by their opinion? |
| 37703 | How are we to separate the mistakes of man from the thoughts of God? |
| 37703 | How can an inspired man prove that he is inspired? |
| 37703 | How can he know himself that he is inspired? |
| 37703 | How can one man establish the inspiration of another? |
| 37703 | How can these miracles be established? |
| 37703 | How can we account for these pretended miracles? |
| 37703 | How can we know that the Devil tried to bribe Christ? |
| 37703 | How did the writer get his information? |
| 37703 | How had they offended King Darius, the believer in Jehovah? |
| 37703 | How is it possible for a human being to know that he is inspired by an infinite being? |
| 37703 | How is it possible to substantiate these miracles? |
| 37703 | IS CHRIST OUR EXAMPLE? |
| 37703 | IS THE OLD TESTAMENT INSPIRED? |
| 37703 | If Christ rose from the dead, why did he not appear to his enemies? |
| 37703 | If he really ascended, why did he not do so in public, in the presence of his persecutors? |
| 37703 | If the existence of God is admitted, how are we to prove that he inspired the writers of the books of the Bible? |
| 37703 | In what respect was he the superior of Zoroaster? |
| 37703 | Is Jeremiah or Habakuk equal to Dickens or Thackeray? |
| 37703 | Is a home to be ruined here for the sake of a mansion there? |
| 37703 | Is it a book to be read by children? |
| 37703 | Is it a fact that the Devil carried Christ to the top of the temple and tried to induce him to leap to the ground? |
| 37703 | Is it a fact that the Devil tried to bribe Christ? |
| 37703 | Is it just and reasonable? |
| 37703 | Is it merciful? |
| 37703 | Is it moral? |
| 37703 | Is it not strange that at the trial of Christ no one was found to say a word in his favor? |
| 37703 | Is it philosophical? |
| 37703 | Is it possible that Christ offered the bribe of eternal joy to those who would desert their fathers, their mothers, their wives and children? |
| 37703 | Is it possible that he who said,"Resist not evil,"came to bring a sword? |
| 37703 | Is it possible that it was right, just and merciful to kill fifty thousand men because they had looked into a box? |
| 37703 | Is it possible that this description was written by one who witnessed this miracle? |
| 37703 | Is it possible to extract from these extravagant sayings the smallest grain of common sense? |
| 37703 | Is the Bible any nearer right in its ideas of justice, of mercy, of morality or of religion than in its conception of the sciences? |
| 37703 | Is the Bible civilized? |
| 37703 | Is the story of the ark, its capture and return of importance to us? |
| 37703 | Is there a chapter worth reading? |
| 37703 | Is there a word calculated to develop the heart or brain? |
| 37703 | Is there an elevated thought-- any great principle-- anything poetic-- any word that bursts into blossom? |
| 37703 | Is there any absurdity beyond this? |
| 37703 | Is there any philosophy, any good sense, in that commandment? |
| 37703 | Is there any philosophy, any wisdom in this? |
| 37703 | Is there any wisdom in putting out your eyes or cutting off your hands? |
| 37703 | Is there anything except a dreary and detailed statement of things that never happened? |
| 37703 | Is there anything in Exodus calculated to make men generous, loving and noble? |
| 37703 | Is there anything in First and Second Kings that suggests the idea of inspiration? |
| 37703 | Is there anything in Leviticus of importance? |
| 37703 | Is there anything in the literature of the world more perfectly idiotic? |
| 37703 | Is there anything in these"inspired"books that has been of benefit to man? |
| 37703 | Is there anything of use in Joel, in Amos, in Obadiah? |
| 37703 | Is there anything to be learned from Hosea and his wife? |
| 37703 | Is there anything worth reading in the first and second books of Samuel? |
| 37703 | Is there in the whole world an intelligent man or woman who believes this impossible falsehood? |
| 37703 | Is there in the"sacred volume"a word, a line, that has added to the wealth, the intelligence and the happiness of mankind? |
| 37703 | Is there one of the books of the Old Testament as entertaining as Robinson Crusoe, the Travels of Gulliver, or Peter Wilkins and his Flying Wife? |
| 37703 | Is there one ray of light from any supernatural source? |
| 37703 | Is there one word in First and Second Kings calculated to make men better? |
| 37703 | Is there the least sense in that belief? |
| 37703 | Is this possible? |
| 37703 | Is what is called the Mosaic Code as wise or as merciful as the code of any civilized nation? |
| 37703 | Let me ask the ministers one question: How can you be wicked enough to defend this book? |
| 37703 | Of what use the cruel code, the frightful punishments, the curses, the falsehoods and the miracles of this ignorant and infamous book? |
| 37703 | Of what use to us are the wars of Saul and David, the stories of Goliath and the Witch of Endor? |
| 37703 | Ought a prophet of God to hew a captured king in pieces? |
| 37703 | THE NEW TESTAMENT WHO wrote the New Testament? |
| 37703 | Take from Exodus the laws common to all nations, and is there anything of value left? |
| 37703 | That he who said,"Love your enemies,"came to destroy the peace of the world? |
| 37703 | The Pharisees said unto Christ:"Is it lawful to pay tribute unto Caesar?" |
| 37703 | The question is, Were the authors of these four gospels inspired? |
| 37703 | Under the same circumstances, what would a devil have done? |
| 37703 | V. WAS JEHOVAH A GOD OF LOVE? |
| 37703 | WAS he kinder, more forgiving, more self- sacrificing than Buddha? |
| 37703 | WHAT IS IT ALL WORTH? |
| 37703 | WHY SHOULD WE PLACE CHRIST AT THE TOP AND SUMMIT OF THE HUMAN RACE? |
| 37703 | WILL some Christian scholar tell us the value of Genesis? |
| 37703 | Was Jehovah god or devil? |
| 37703 | Was he a greater philosopher, a deeper thinker, than Epicurus? |
| 37703 | Was he gentler than Laotse, more universal than Confucius? |
| 37703 | Was he grander in death-- a sublimer martyr than Bruno? |
| 37703 | Was he more patient, more charitable, than Epictetus? |
| 37703 | Was he wiser, did he meet death with more perfect calmness, than Socrates? |
| 37703 | Was his brain equal to Kepler''s or Newton''s? |
| 37703 | Was his mind subtler than Spinoza''s? |
| 37703 | Was it because the inhabitants were ignorant, cruel and superstitious? |
| 37703 | Were his ideas of human rights and duties superior to those of Zeno? |
| 37703 | Were its laws inspired? |
| 37703 | Were the men who through many centuries made the selections inspired? |
| 37703 | Were the writers of Kings and Chronicles as great historians, as great writers, as Gibbon and Draper? |
| 37703 | Were these writers only partly controlled, so that their mistakes, their ignorance and their prejudices were mingled with the wisdom of God? |
| 37703 | Were they ever performed? |
| 37703 | Were they-- ignorant, credulous, stupid and malicious-- as well qualified to judge of"inspiration"as the students of our time? |
| 37703 | What care we for the withering of Jereboam''s hand, the prophecy of Jehu, or the story of Elijah and the ravens? |
| 37703 | What had the wives and little children done? |
| 37703 | What is inspiration? |
| 37703 | What then is left in this inspired book of Genesis? |
| 37703 | What, then, can we say of Christ? |
| 37703 | Where did Christ think heaven was? |
| 37703 | Who enabled Joseph to interpret the dream of Pharaoh? |
| 37703 | Who failed to protect the innocent wives and children? |
| 37703 | Who produced the famine? |
| 37703 | Who protected Daniel? |
| 37703 | Who wrote the account? |
| 37703 | Why did he fail to speak? |
| 37703 | Why did he go dumbly to his death, leaving the world to misery and to doubt? |
| 37703 | Why did he leave his words to ignorance, hypocrisy and chance? |
| 37703 | Why did he not break the chains of slaves? |
| 37703 | Why did he not call on Caiphas, the high priest? |
| 37703 | Why did he not explain the Trinity? |
| 37703 | Why did he not make another triumphal entry into Jerusalem? |
| 37703 | Why did he not plainly say:"I am the Son of God,"or,"I am God?" |
| 37703 | Why did he not say something positive, definite and satisfactory about another world? |
| 37703 | Why did he not say that the Old Testament was or was not the inspired word of God? |
| 37703 | Why did he not tell the mode of baptism that was pleasing to him? |
| 37703 | Why did he not tell us something of the rights of man, of the liberty of hand and brain? |
| 37703 | Why did he not turn the tear- stained hope of heaven into the glad knowledge of another life? |
| 37703 | Why did he not write a creed? |
| 37703 | Why did he not write the New Testament himself? |
| 37703 | Why hast thou forsaken me?" |
| 37703 | Why should Jehovah have killed Uzzah for putting forth his hand to steady the ark, and forgiven David for murdering Uriah and stealing his wife? |
| 37703 | Why should this, the greatest of miracles, be done in secret in a corner? |
| 37703 | Why should we attribute the best to man and the worst to God? |
| 37703 | Why should we place Jehovah above all the gods? |
| 37703 | Why was Jerusalem a holy city? |
| 37703 | Why? |
| 37703 | Would a civilized God daub his altars with the blood of oxen, lambs and doves? |
| 37703 | Would he delight in the smell of burning flesh? |
| 37703 | Would he make all his priests butchers? |
| 55531 | Again: How long will the_ laity_ so freely pour out their earnings to endow colleges and theological seminaries when such results as these are seen? |
| 55531 | And if there exists a community of such selfish beings, can language portray, with any adequacy, the appalling results that must necessarily ensue? |
| 55531 | And is this matter any the less a_ practical_ one to all the laity? |
| 55531 | Are not habits increased by perpetual repetition? |
| 55531 | But at last we come to the grand question,"Who first started this vast system of endless and wonderful contrivances?" |
| 55531 | But it is asked, Why go to the West to establish such institutions? |
| 55531 | But what is the teaching of physiology on this matter? |
| 55531 | But where now are such appeals made as once shook men''s consciences with fears of"_ the wrath to come_?" |
| 55531 | But why not endow large boarding institutions already established? |
| 55531 | But why not have our public schools on this model? |
| 55531 | But will endowments for such institutions be furnished? |
| 55531 | But, in both cases, was it not the_ spirit of obedience_ that was the grand requisite? |
| 55531 | Can any minister preach without assuming one of these two theories as the very foundation- principle of his ministrations? |
| 55531 | Do men believe that they have no power to choose any other way than as they do choose? |
| 55531 | Do not the tendencies of this life indicate a period when a total separation of selfish and benevolent minds will be their own voluntary choice? |
| 55531 | Do they talk and act in common life as if they believed it? |
| 55531 | Does this revelation agree with reason and experience, and does it contain all that we need both for safe guidance and for peace of mind?" |
| 55531 | For example, it may be asked, Why did a man choose to drink and gamble? |
| 55531 | For example, it may be asked, Why did a man choose to give up his liberty and property when he could have secured them by false testimony? |
| 55531 | How can it be otherwise? |
| 55531 | How can the business of domestic economy be taught as a part of school training? |
| 55531 | How can we know when we act as nearly right as it is in our power? |
| 55531 | How, then, is the object aimed at to be accomplished? |
| 55531 | If so, what are his character and designs? |
| 55531 | If such a revelation exists, is it made accessible to all, or must one portion of our race necessarily depend on fallible and interested interpreters? |
| 55531 | If such preaching abounds in any quarter of our nation, where is it? |
| 55531 | If the common ideas which are recalled by words are not the proper ones, what are the data for knowing_ which_ are the ideas to be recalled? |
| 55531 | If there is another life before us, what influence has our conduct and character here on its solemn destinies? |
| 55531 | If this should happen, where would be all the great machinery that was supported by these several denominations for their distinctive aims? |
| 55531 | In regard to the Creator, what may we suppose will be the feelings of such minds? |
| 55531 | In regard to the main topics of this work, is not every minister called to decide,_ practically_, between these two theories? |
| 55531 | In this state of things, to what is the Church and ministry coming? |
| 55531 | Is not habit appalling in its power, and ofttimes, even in this life, inveterate in its hold? |
| 55531 | Is not the mind of man immortal? |
| 55531 | Is there not manifestly needed far more powerful motives than any now wielded to stop the inrushing tide of worldliness? |
| 55531 | Is this sad life our only portion, or shall we live beyond the grave? |
| 55531 | Next, are the deductions gained by their aid as to what can be learned without a direct revelation from the Creator accepted? |
| 55531 | Now suppose this person should turn to a witness, and offer to instruct him in the_ best way of doing things_, what would be the common- sense reply? |
| 55531 | Or, is the only unity to be anticipated that which results from the unsatisfactory conclusion that all must"agree to disagree?" |
| 55531 | Tears came into his eyes as he said,"Dear child, must I die too?" |
| 55531 | The first is, What was the end or design for which he made all things? |
| 55531 | The next inquiry is, How are we to ascertain the ideas which are to be attached to words that are used figuratively? |
| 55531 | The next question is, How can mind be most successfully influenced to right action? |
| 55531 | The question now arises, How are we to determine when expressions are to be interpreted literally and when they are figurative? |
| 55531 | This terrifying and heart- rending picture, it must be remembered, is the_ deduction of reason_, and who can point out its fallacy? |
| 55531 | We need not praise the truthfulness of their appreciation in all particulars, but have we, on the whole, a right to anticipate a different decision? |
| 55531 | What do the great masses of men suppose that_ they themselves_ are to do if ever they become"regenerated?" |
| 55531 | What evidence is there that what God says is_ true_, when He claims to be wise, and just, and good, when He has done such contradictory things? |
| 55531 | What, then, could be done with the added power of revelation, dissevered from obstructing theories? |
| 55531 | What, then, does the past history of our race teach us to expect from the future? |
| 55531 | What, then, is the limitation of power in these cases? |
| 55531 | What, then, so far as we can learn without a revelation, is a perfect mind in such a system of things as we find in this world? |
| 55531 | What, then, would be its agonizing throes in bosoms that live but to torment and to destroy all good to themselves and to other minds? |
| 55531 | Whenever it is asked,"_ Why_ did a person choose to do thus?" |
| 55531 | Where is the hardened culprit that was ever brought to repentance and reformation by lashes or the infliction of degradation? |
| 55531 | Who could gaze on the countenance of such a little one, as its various senses are called into exercise, without such a conviction? |
| 55531 | Who is it presented in classic language to the gaze of enthusiastic childhood, and pictured forth in tales of romance to kindling youth? |
| 55531 | Who is the hero sung by the poet, eulogized by the statesman, and flattered by the orator? |
| 55531 | Why do the perceptions of the eye and ear so much more powerfully affect the mind than those of the other senses? |
| 55531 | Why is it that certain objects of sight, and certain sounds or combinations of sound, awaken emotions more than other sights and sounds? |
| 55531 | Why is this? |
| 55531 | and the second is, What is the right and true method by which this design can be secured? |
| 55531 | and where should she meet him at last? |
| 55531 | the meaning is, What were the causes that influenced him to decide thus? |
| 55531 | where was he? |
| 30200 | But do we believe nothing except that of which we have ocular demonstration? |
| 30200 | But what is a truth? |
| 30200 | But where, if we discard the Gods and their will, as engraven on our hearts, are our guides in the search after truth? |
| 30200 | Does not a man,( he asks) when taking a journey, arm himself, and seek to go well accompanied? 30200 Does not every one see, that if the religion of nature had been put instead of Christianity, these descriptions would have exactly agreed with it? |
| 30200 | Eve.--Let me see-- had I best use it or not? 30200 Ianthe''s"spirit, however, asks still further, and the ghost of Ahasuerus having been summoned, the question is repeated,"Is there a God?" |
| 30200 | Serpent.--All hail, most fair one, what are you doing so solitary and serious under this shade? 30200 What is nature,"says Seneca,"but God; the divine reason, inherent in the whole universe, and in all its parts? |
| 30200 | _ Ahasuerus_.--Is there a God? 30200 ''But,''adds the mother,''what then should be the motive of my tenderness?'' 30200 ''Hast thou no fears for thy presumptuous self?'' 30200 ''No,''will you say? 30200 And that which appeareth to be a lie thou rejectest; what does the Atheist more? 30200 And the Lord said unto him wherewith? 30200 And the Lord said, who shall persuade Ahab that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead? 30200 And what is saying that which you do n''t mean, and meaning the contrary to what you say, but lying? 30200 And who are they that shall be cast out, but believers,''the children of the kingdom?'' 30200 And who were they? 30200 Are we attacked by any of those lingering diseases, which incessantly place around us the shades and horrors of death? 30200 As it was, we may address him in the words of St. Paul to just such another fool,''King Ahab, believest thou the prophets? 30200 As lovers, or as husbands? 30200 Behold? 30200 Besides, how can we think that an ear, which has a narrow passage, can receive the same sound with that which has a wide one? 30200 Besides, if the longevity, or immortality of man had depended only upon one tree, or its fruit, what if Adam had not sinned? 30200 But ask yourself, do we not all treat them as we do sick people, lavish attention, soothe, flatter, caress, and get tired of them? 30200 But how did you get this confidence in your own understanding? 30200 But what passion shall we here have recourse to, for explaining an effect of such mighty consequence? 30200 But what shall we substitute in its place? 30200 But what shall we think Eve knew of this business? 30200 But what testimony or what authority have they for this? 30200 But where will not prejudice lead men, when even the uptight Cleanthes is capable of slander? |
| 30200 | But which is the weaker? |
| 30200 | But who is that pale form, with dishevelled hair and weeping eyes, with an alabaster skin stained with the blue spots of grief? |
| 30200 | But who was it that led astray and tempted the devil himself? |
| 30200 | But why should this submission be exercised when my understanding invincibly recoils? |
| 30200 | But will it be pretended, that these are only metaphors of speech, that the thing said is not the thing that''s meant? |
| 30200 | But you say, by whom then are we inspired? |
| 30200 | But; before we examine this subject, I may possibly be asked whether these two faculties are modifications of a spiritual or a material substance? |
| 30200 | Can the Christian show these signs, or any of them? |
| 30200 | Can the teachings of a lifetime be overthrown by the courtship of a few months? |
| 30200 | Could he render himself thus mad-- he who had a sane mind, and strove as much as in him lay to conserve his being? |
| 30200 | Destroy love and friendship, what remains in the world worth accepting?" |
| 30200 | Diderot.--Feeble? |
| 30200 | Diderot.--Observe her at a ball, no vigor, then, M. l''Abbe? |
| 30200 | Do not these impious wretches suppose, that God is not able to judge for himself; at least, not able to execute his own judgment? |
| 30200 | Do they not teach us that religion is no subject for instruction, and no subject for discussion? |
| 30200 | Does any one pretend that the translators were infallible-- men above the possibility of error? |
| 30200 | Does he not there accuse mankind by his action, as I do by my words?" |
| 30200 | For what is it else to praise, but to say_ a thing is good?_ Good, I say, for me, or for somebody else, or for the State and Commonwealth. |
| 30200 | For what purpose make a partition of goods, where every one has already more than enough? |
| 30200 | For what? |
| 30200 | Galiana.--Do you know what courage is? |
| 30200 | Has she not as much courage as man? |

| 50715 | Because, forsooth, the wiser men at least say so? |
| 50715 | But how? |
| 50715 | But is it rather because God demands of us especially a more precise idea of God? |
| 50715 | But to what end? |
| 50715 | But where will you place an end to this? |
| 50715 | But who does not see the imperfection of our nature? |
| 50715 | But why is this honor given? |
| 50715 | But why should God be loved, why worshipped? |
| 50715 | By whom? |
| 50715 | Consider, you who are a father, would you do such a thing? |
| 50715 | Did not the Holy Spirit beget the son of God by a peculiar union with a betrothed virgin? |
| 50715 | Do you call attention to the writings of Moses, the Prophets and Apostles? |
| 50715 | Do you point to the oracles of the heathen? |
| 50715 | Does he himself delight in worship? |
| 50715 | For is it sufficient enough to maintain the society of men peacefully? |
| 50715 | For what reason of theirs can be a command to worship God if this is not? |
| 50715 | Frederick II, son of Henry VI, began to reign(?) |

| 50715 | He created Henry the Lion(? |
| 50715 | His own people do indeed worship him, but why? |
| 50715 | If God does all, and nothing can be done without him how does it happen that the Devil hates him, curses him, and takes away his friends? |
| 50715 | In what respects? |
| 50715 | Is there anything more alike than the fall of Lucifer and that of Vulcan, or that of the giants cast down by the lightnings of Jupiter? |
| 50715 | Is there anything that more resembles the two accidents of Sodom and Gomorrah than that which happened to Phaeton? |
| 50715 | Is there anything, for example, more dextrous than the manner in which he treated the subject of the woman taken in adultery? |
| 50715 | Nevertheless Mahomet is undoubtedly considered an impostor among us; but why? |
| 50715 | Nevertheless what saith the Scripture? |
| 50715 | Now therefore why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples, which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? |
| 50715 | Of what use were so many separate, nay, so oft times repeated, genealogies? |
| 50715 | The description of the country of which Socrates speaks to Simias in the Phaedon(?) |
| 50715 | The entrance of friends in Belgium, to the eyes of those who know, Is it not an unique epoch? |
| 50715 | Then follows a"Bouquet for the Pope":"Thou whom flatterers have invested with a vain title, Shalt thou at this late day become the arbiter of Europe? |
| 50715 | Then follows fifteen chapters which are not in the treatise(? |
| 50715 | Then, on the contrary, among the Mahometans he is considered a most holy prophet; but why? |
| 50715 | There is no progression into infinity; why not? |
| 50715 | Therefore, should he be worshipped? |
| 50715 | Therefore, there is no God? |
| 50715 | This is demonstrative, for if it was God who marched before Israel night and day in the cloud and the column of fire could they have a better guide? |
| 50715 | This is much to be desired, but where are those capable of accomplishing such a project? |
| 50715 | To relieve this embarrassment, he availed himself of the questioners themselves by asking them in the name of whom they thought John baptized? |

| 50715 | What more then? |
| 50715 | What reply shall we make? |
| 50715 | What shall we say about women, what about children, what about the majority of the masses of the people? |
| 50715 | What then is to be said of the testimony of conscience? |
| 50715 | What would be the object of God in such conduct? |
| 50715 | Whence comes the conformity which we find between the doctrine of the Old Testament and that of Plato? |
| 50715 | Whence did they arise? |
| 50715 | Wherefore do you indeed believe that God makes such demands? |
| 50715 | Who does not know the evil that the Holy See did to his son Henry VI., against whom his own wife took up arms at the persuasion of the Pope? |
| 50715 | Who of you is there who speaks from special revelation? |
| 50715 | Who will put an end to these disputes? |
| 50715 | Who would say that he wants honor except those who persist in honoring him? |
| 50715 | Who, however, would say that God, the most perfect of all beings, wants anything? |
| 50715 | Who, pray, are the wiser? |
| 50715 | Why should God be worshipped? |
| 50715 | Why these historical reminiscences? |
| 50715 | Will not Moses and the rest say: What wrong have we done you that you thus reject us, though we are better and nearer the truth? |
| 50715 | Would they let it be known that such practices were to their interests? |

| 38016 | The Master clapped His hands to His ears, murmured an appeal to God, and replied,"Why such an improper speech, Sárvabhauma? |
| 38016 | The Master objected,"Why praise me? |

| 38016 | The man retorted,"Why are you, a venerable man, mocking me? |
| 38016 | The men asked,"By what signs can a Vaishnav be known?" |

| 38016 | Then the Ray beheld the Master looking like a_ sannyasi_; but the latter embraced him and soothed him thus,"Who else than you can behold this form? |
| 38016 | This noble is a grave and learned man; why then has he been maddened by the touch of the_ sannyasi_?" |
| 38016 | This song accompanied their dance:_"How shall I speak of my bliss to- day? |

| 38100 | The Siamese author next discusses the question,"how shall a man select that religion which he can trust to for his future happiness?" |
| 38100 | The question has often suggested itself to my own mind,"How much has insanity of mind had to do with religion?" |
| 38100 | Then come the important questions--"What right has any religious bigot to profess himself a liberal?" |
| 38100 | Thence proceeded the earth,_ Ua, or Mot_( Sans);_ Math_( Sans) making fire by rubbing sticks( coitus?) |
| 38100 | Therefore take no thought, saying, what shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewithal shall we be clothed?... |
| 38100 | Upon this point the following passages will be found very significant:--''Who has seen the primeval being at the time of His being born? |
| 38100 | Was the Jewish ignorance the result of Divine"inspiration?" |
| 38100 | What does he find? |
| 38100 | What have we here? |
| 38100 | What is faith? |
| 38100 | What is that One alone, who has upheld these six spheres in the form of an unborn?''" |
| 38100 | What is the value of education unless it enables us, when necessary, to find whether we are in the right way or not? |
| 38100 | What though our bodies be disgracefully exposed on these crosses? |
| 38100 | What was the massacre at Cawnpore to that in Jericho and other Canaanite cities? |
| 38100 | What, let us ask, would the orthodox declare was amissing? |
| 38100 | When was India first known to Christians? |
| 38100 | When we find out that, what will be our opinion of the captain? |
| 38100 | Whence, whence this manifold creation sprang? |
| 38100 | Which must the faithful follow? |
| 38100 | Who can assert that Abraham and Jacob, Moses and Aaron, were taught of God, and that to the Hebrews alone has the Creator revealed His will? |
| 38100 | Who is the God to whom we shall offer our sacrifice? |
| 38100 | Who knows from whence this great creation sprang? |
| 38100 | Who knows the secret? |
| 38100 | Who would believe the ravings of a lunatic, even though he told us that God had sent him with a message to man? |
| 38100 | Why do Christians, as a body, reject the revelation made to Mahomet, and the frequent inspirations which give laws to the latter- day saints? |
| 38100 | Why take ye thought for raiment, consider the lilies of the field... if God so clothe the grass... shall he not much more clothe you? |
| 38100 | Why, however, should any goal be undesirable which leads us nearer to truth? |
| 38100 | Why, then, do not men, like Mr Gladstone, join it? |
| 38100 | Without further preface, let us inquire"what Faith really is?" |
| 38100 | Would you behold his head and his fair face? |
| 38100 | Your soldiers subjugate gods and men, but not me, I shall crush them by wisdom, then what will you do?" |
| 38100 | am I justified in using my reason only in one direction? |
| 38100 | and am I not grieved with those that rise up against thee? |
| 38100 | and his brethren James, and Joses, and Simon, and Judas, and his sisters, are they not all with us?" |
| 38100 | and if we are to mete out degrees of culpability, to whom must the severest punishment be awarded? |
| 38100 | and if what has been given to me as sound meat, is rotten in reality, am I bound to eat it? |
| 38100 | and that the Jew must still be dear to Jehovah, inasmuch as he still clings closely by faith to the revelation given to Moses and the prophets? |
| 38100 | and, in the next place, whether we get that to which we are entitled? |
| 38100 | and,"Is it not right for us to risk our own souls in support of a faith which we do not, but which the people do, believe?" |
| 38100 | can it do me good in any way? |
| 38100 | from earth are the breath and blood, but where is the soul-- who may repair to the sage to ask this? |
| 38100 | if I profess to argue, am I not bound to be logical? |
| 38100 | if every one in new Jerusalem is a ruler, what is he a ruler of? |
| 38100 | if he was wrong, why not say so? |
| 38100 | ii.,--"Who now,"he makes Lucilius say,"believes in Hippocentaurs and Chimeras? |
| 38100 | in other words,"by the hierarchy of the most numerous section of the community-- or by reason-- i.e., by the good sense of the majority?" |
| 38100 | is not his mother called Mary? |
| 38100 | or over what? |
| 38100 | or what old woman is now to be found so weak and ignorant as to stand in fear of those infernal monsters which once so terrified mankind? |
| 38100 | or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" |
| 38100 | or, How can any revelation be accepted, unless the mind has examined the messenger and the message?" |
| 38100 | or, must he still endeavour to convert them by the use of reason? |
| 38100 | or,"What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?" |
| 38100 | v. 6--"Neither say thou before the angel that it was an error; wherefore... should God destroy the works of thine hands?" |

| 38600 | Hath not God chosen the poor? |
| 38600 | Said I not that ye are Gods? |
| 38600 | Why callest thou me good? 38600 Why hast thou thus dealt with us?" |
| 38600 | Would I like to be treated thus? |
| 38600 | ( A note on Landresse''s_ Foe Koui Ki._)"If we addressed a Mogul or Thibetan this question, Who is Chrishna? |
| 38600 | 12), then the important question arises, How could Christ be God, as he was seen by thousands of men, and seen hundreds of times? |
| 38600 | 15), that there were_ but one hundred and twenty brethren in all after that period?_ 3. |
| 38600 | : Was he( Christ) the only Savior, seeing that a multitude of similar claims are now upon our council- board to be disposed of? |
| 38600 | Again, was Jesus Christ"the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End?" |
| 38600 | And Jeremiah asks God,"Wilt thou be to me as a liar?" |
| 38600 | And can any reader doubt that the meaning in the two cases is the same? |
| 38600 | And here we would ask if Christ rose from the dead in order to convince the world of his divine power, why did not the event take place in public? |
| 38600 | And how much did he love his enemies when he called them"fools,""liars,""hypocrites,""generation of vipers,"& c.? |
| 38600 | And if Thomas was really convinced by this occurrence, or if it ever took place, why have we no account of his subsequent life? |
| 38600 | And if the soldiers were all asleep, can we not suggest several ways the body may have disappeared without being restored to life? |
| 38600 | And may not the apostles themselves have been deceived in ascribing some of the miracles they record to Jesus instead of the devil? |
| 38600 | And should not Matthew have furnished us, by way of proof, with the names of some of these ghostly visitors? |
| 38600 | And then how could they be"hated of all men,"when not one man in a thousand ever heard of them? |
| 38600 | And to whom is the debt owing, and who pays it? |
| 38600 | And was Christ"the True Light?" |
| 38600 | And were the shrouds or grave clothes of those saints also resurrected? |
| 38600 | And what analogy is there in the resurrection of the dead body of a perfect and self- existent God and that of vile man? |
| 38600 | And what finally became of them? |
| 38600 | And what is that sin? |
| 38600 | And what is the lesson taught by these facts? |
| 38600 | And what will, or what can, the devout stickler for the divinely paternal origin of Jesus Christ do with such testimony? |
| 38600 | And which testimony must we accept? |
| 38600 | And why should Christ be called"the first fruits of the resurrection,"when so many cases are reported as occurring before his? |
| 38600 | And why was Christ baptized in Jordan? |
| 38600 | And will the Christian world, then, hereafter stultify their common sense by ignoring these facts of history so fatal to their claims? |
| 38600 | And would it not prove that Christianity is rather a dreamy religion? |
| 38600 | Ay, who dare believe it, if he would escape the charge of blasphemy? |
| 38600 | Being in appearance a man, how was he to be, or how could he be, visually distinguished from a man? |
| 38600 | But as we are not informed who found it out, or who made the discovery, or how it was made, is it not thus left in a very suspicious aspect? |
| 38600 | By what rule can we discriminate them, as he himself furnishes none? |
| 38600 | Can as much be said of any Christian nation? |
| 38600 | Could they believe this to be Almighty God? |
| 38600 | Did they die again, or did they ascend to heaven with their new- made bodies? |
| 38600 | Does it not go far toward proving that Christianity is an outgrowth, a legitimate offspring, of Judean Essenism? |
| 38600 | For what purpose were they re- animated? |
| 38600 | For who could know better than the mother, or rather, who could know but the mother, who the father of the child Jesus was? |
| 38600 | He asks,"How can a man be so stupid as to imagine that which he eats to be a God?" |
| 38600 | He replied,''Have you not faith in me? |
| 38600 | How are you going to sustain the declaration that Jesus Christ was the only son and sent of God, in view of these historic facts? |
| 38600 | How did its inhabitants feel while thus traveling with the velocity of lightning? |
| 38600 | How is it to be accounted for? |
| 38600 | How long did they live the second time? |
| 38600 | How long had they lain in their graves? |
| 38600 | How long since their bodies had turned to dust, and been food for worms? |
| 38600 | How much, then, does repentance do toward deciding what is right and what is wrong? |
| 38600 | How will you prove his apparently legendary history( that is, the miraculous portion of his history) to be real, and the others false?" |
| 38600 | How, then, we would ask, can Jesus Christ be the Savior? |
| 38600 | If Mary was miraculously conceived, why was the important secret kept so long from Joseph? |
| 38600 | If it has a basis of truth, where was such an extraordinary mine of sacred lore discovered? |
| 38600 | If not, how is the matter to be explained? |
| 38600 | If not, what does it prove, or what moral value is it? |
| 38600 | If she were a virtuously- minded woman, why did she thus attempt to deceive him? |
| 38600 | If this be true, that he taught both truth and falsehood, then the question arises, How can we know which is which? |
| 38600 | Indeed, are we not absolutely driven to such a conclusion? |
| 38600 | Indeed, may we not here find the very origin and the cause of the now general prevalence of idolatry in pagan countries? |
| 38600 | Is it founded on fact or on fiction? |
| 38600 | Is it not hence probable they grew out of similar stories relative to the heathen Gods long previously prevalent in oriental countries? |
| 38600 | Is it possible, we ask, to reconcile such a fact with the belief of his divinity? |
| 38600 | Is not this very nearly conclusive proof that Essenism was only another name for Christianity-- that it had not yet changed its name to Christianity? |
| 38600 | Know ye not, that whether present or absent in body, I will be ever present with you to guard and protect you?''" |
| 38600 | Must we, therefore, conclude that murder is morally right, or a righteous act? |
| 38600 | Now, the more important query arises, What relationship does ancient heathen or Hindoo Budhism bear to Christianity? |
| 38600 | Now, the question arises, Is the above representation a true one? |
| 38600 | Now, the question very naturally arises here, How came the histories of Apollonius and Christ to be so strikingly alike? |
| 38600 | On what ground is it predicated? |
| 38600 | Or how are we to determine that he taught truth at all? |
| 38600 | Paul furnishes evidence of this, when he says,"If the truth of God hath more abounded through my lie unto his glory, why am I judged a sinner?" |
| 38600 | Should we not then change his title from that of a demon to a God, and place his religion amongst the divinely endowed systems? |
| 38600 | Then what kind of feeling should we cultivate toward friends? |
| 38600 | Then what were they called during the earlier years of their history? |
| 38600 | Was Jesus Christ the"Lamb of God?" |
| 38600 | Was one plagiarized from the other? |
| 38600 | Was there ever a case of crucifixion beside that of Jesus Christ?" |
| 38600 | We ask again, Who, from the deepest depths of his inmost, enlightened consciousness, can believe such revolting, such atheistical doctrine as this? |
| 38600 | We may institute the inquiry here,"How happens this coincidence?" |
| 38600 | What business did they engage in? |
| 38600 | What explanation shall we adopt for it then? |
| 38600 | What good can grow out of it, or what moral value can possibly attach to it? |
| 38600 | What good was effected by his convincement if he never said or did anything afterward? |
| 38600 | What is that you say, bishop? |
| 38600 | What is the evidence that the latter is an outgrowth of the former? |
| 38600 | What is the story of the ascension of Christ worth in view of these ancient pagan traditions of earlier origin? |
| 38600 | What was to be done in such an emergency? |
| 38600 | What, omnipotence not able to protect his own disciples? |
| 38600 | What, then, does such a conflicting jargon of death- bed repentance prove? |
| 38600 | What, then, is prophecy worth, or what does it prove? |
| 38600 | Where are the superior credentials of his claim? |
| 38600 | Where have spirits ever been supposed to be imprisoned but in hell? |
| 38600 | Where is the Christian who refuses to call his earthly sire a father? |
| 38600 | Where, then, is the claim for its originality? |
| 38600 | Where, then, is the foundation for the dogmatic claim on the part of the Christian professors for the divine origin of the Trinity doctrine? |
| 38600 | Where, then, is the virtue of the atonement? |
| 38600 | Which horn of the dilemma will you choose? |
| 38600 | Which is right? |
| 38600 | Which must we believe? |
| 38600 | Which statement must we accept as inspired, or what is proved by such contradictory testimony? |
| 38600 | Who can believe it? |
| 38600 | Who can believe that he was a Divine Being, or Messiah, when he charged his disciples to"tell no man"that he was such a Being? |
| 38600 | Who can tell? |
| 38600 | Who, then, can be saved? |
| 38600 | Whose reason does not revolt at such a picture? |
| 38600 | Whose soul-- possessing the slightest moral sensibility-- does not inwardly and instinctively revolt at such a doctrine? |
| 38600 | Why could he not"descend on the clouds"by his first advent, as the bible says he will do when he makes his second advent? |
| 38600 | Why did not God inform Joseph by"inspiration"instead of employing the roundabout way of sending an angel to do it? |
| 38600 | Why did she keep the"wool drawn over his eyes"till an angel had to be sent from heaven to let him into the secret? |
| 38600 | Why have we not some account of what they said and did? |
| 38600 | Why talk about his soul not being left in hell if it had never been there? |
| 38600 | Why was it seen only by a few credulous and interested disciples? |
| 38600 | Why, then, is there not as much probability that he did do so? |
| 38600 | Will you then give it up? |
| 38600 | With what consistency, then, can Christ be called"_ the Savior_,"if there is but_ one Savior_, and that is the Father? |
| 38600 | Would he not rather point to the door, and exclaim,"Get out of here; no place here for niggers?" |
| 38600 | Would the court accept such testimony? |
| 38600 | Would the sexton show him to a seat? |
| 38600 | Would they worship a negro God? |
| 38600 | _ Scripture parallel._"Who shall change our_ vile_ bodies?" |
| 38600 | ejaculated Sesostris of Egypt, to the oracle, as reported by Manetho,"who before me could subjugate all things, and who shall after me?" |
| 38600 | or did they travel about in a state of nudity? |
| 38600 | or that He,"by whom all things exist,"could cease himself to exist, by dying upon the cross between malefactors? |
| 38600 | the Almighty Creator betrayed by a puny being of his own creation into the hands of his disobedient and rebellious children? |
| 38600 | when will the Deliverer appear?''" |
| 40978 | And it came to pass by the way in the inn,( by the way, were there inns then in Egypt?) 40978 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? |
| 40978 | Again, how does the oblation cease in half a week? |
| 40978 | And are we, who laugh at the Catholic councils, to trust to the word of a Jewish scribe? |
| 40978 | And have not sceptics been justified in their disbelief of the genuineness of such books? |
| 40978 | And he said unto him, what is thy name? |
| 40978 | And was this tree a type of him, as the bread and wine are at this day? |
| 40978 | Any thing that is conceivable is possible: but are we therefore to believe in the existence of witches or necromancers? |
| 40978 | Are we to give credit to the world having sprung from an egg? |
| 40978 | Are you ignorant of the adoration of the Ethiopians? |
| 40978 | Are you in earnest, can you assert this before men of common information? |
| 40978 | At least, do not the Jewish books affirm it? |
| 40978 | Besides, does Joshua say the sun changed its course? |
| 40978 | Besides, where do you find in the Pentateuch any accounts of the Devil? |
| 40978 | But had not the witch of Endor a real power of incantation? |
| 40978 | But let me ask your Lordship, what you conclude against one, who, like myself, is not a Deist? |
| 40978 | But what avails all this? |
| 40978 | But why go through such barbarous details? |
| 40978 | But, in what consisted the wonted wisdom of a God, whom you describe as ever solicitous to lessen the influence of sin? |
| 40978 | Can any man, after this, doubt that Esdras is the compiler of all the books which the Jews had not known for many centuries? |
| 40978 | Can this apply to Jesus Christ? |
| 40978 | Can this possibly allude to Christ? |
| 40978 | Could Moses affirm, as you pretend he might, that he never persecuted any man? |
| 40978 | Could he be so ignorant as not to see the contradiction? |
| 40978 | Dares Dr. Watson affirm, that freedom of inquiry was ever suffered on religious subjects? |
| 40978 | Did Christ confirm any covenant with many for seven years? |
| 40978 | Did Cicero adore stocks or stones? |
| 40978 | Did he come from Edom in mighty power, in rich garments? |
| 40978 | Did not all the endeavours of Jehovah to rescue nations from idolatry prove fruitless? |
| 40978 | Did not the plagues which he sent to Pharaoh and David fall upon thousands of innocent individuals? |
| 40978 | Did not this Jehovah approve the base murder of Adonias? |
| 40978 | Did she not most wonderfully raise up the spirit of Samuel? |
| 40978 | Did the Messiah come after seven weeks from the commandment of Ar- taxerxes Longimanus? |
| 40978 | Did then Jesus Christ live four hundred and twenty- three years, or are there two Messiahs predicted? |
| 40978 | Do not other divines tell us that it means the kingdom of heaven? |
| 40978 | Do not these pretended prophecies also apply to Judas Maccabeus, who delivered the Jews from the tyranny of Antiochus Epi- phanus? |
| 40978 | Do they not admit one supreme agent, an all- wise, intelligent,& c. being, and whose inferior agents they represent by symbols? |
| 40978 | Do you forget their reverence to the holy of holies, which none could approach; the ark of the covenant, and the calves? |
| 40978 | Do you take Englishmen for idiots to be deceived by your assertions? |
| 40978 | Do you think, that consigning to slavery thirty- two thousand maids, is consistent with the benignity of God? |
| 40978 | Does not every quack, every impostor, do the same, and caution the world to beware of counterfeits? |
| 40978 | Does not this at once show the grossness of the conceptions of the Jews, and the sophistical mode of arguing of their legislator? |
| 40978 | Does your Lordship imagine, that the peasants of La Vendee are models of morality? |
| 40978 | Does your zeal blind you so far as not to let you perceive, that this very argument may with redoubled strength be retorted against you? |
| 40978 | For I would ask, How did Moses prove himself the oracle of God? |
| 40978 | Had they any very refined ideas of their God? |
| 40978 | Has ferocity forsaken Christians as you insinuate? |
| 40978 | Has not the New Jerusalem been sometimes taken for a real flying town, seen in the air by the first fathers of the church, as Tertullean informs us? |
| 40978 | Has not the principal branch of the church of Christ been notorious idolaters? |
| 40978 | Have not such miracles taken place if we credit historians? |
| 40978 | Have not the bears of the Apocalypse been made to signify by turns, the Pope and the Devil? |
| 40978 | Have not the founders of our faith been the most cruel murderers? |
| 40978 | Have the modern religious fanatics yielded in cruelty to the Jews? |
| 40978 | Have these Christian invaders any where respected the chastity of women when they made them slaves? |
| 40978 | Have you forgotten the wonders of the magicians of Pharaoh? |
| 40978 | Have you proved that the Heathens"emulated in the transcendent flagitiousness of their lives, the impure morals of their gods?" |
| 40978 | How did you learn this? |
| 40978 | How does it happen, that the Lord Jahovah does not provide better against such mistakes creeping into the book of the law of his favourite people? |
| 40978 | How then did the Jews inhabit Jerusalem in the days of Joshua? |
| 40978 | I would reason thus: Moses does not say, that he was the author of the Pentateuch; why then do we believe that he wrote it? |
| 40978 | In verse 26, instead of,_ shall Messiah be cut off?_ we ought to read,_ the oblation shall cease_. |
| 40978 | In what consists the superiority of the Jewish or Christian notions of God? |
| 40978 | In what respect do these brutal prophets differ from Mahomet, who decided all disputes by the sword? |
| 40978 | Is it consistent with a Deity to punish this pair, and all their progeny, for their attempt to know good from evil? |
| 40978 | Is it then by such ridiculous customs that you reconcile your omnipotent and all- wise God? |
| 40978 | Is this a reason for any man to believe the fabulous legends we have of him, written in the dark centuries? |
| 40978 | It might be worth enquiring at this time, whether the Roman Bard was inspired by the Holy Ghost? |
| 40978 | Lastly, I may ask, does your Lordship believe in the many prophecies that have of late appeared of the French revolution? |
| 40978 | Now, my Lord, what has the Egyptian tradition to do with the sun stopped by the robber Joshua? |
| 40978 | Or are we to look upon the story of the witch of Endor in the same light as those of modern witches? |
| 40978 | Or did ever any learned man among the heathens humble himself before idols? |
| 40978 | Or has the story of the five golden mice, for looking at which fifty thousand and three score and ten Israelites were smote by the Lord, escaped you? |
| 40978 | Or how did Jesus Christ show himself the Son of God, but by their pretended miracles? |
| 40978 | Pray, my Lord, do you think, that to prove a book spurious, when it is believed to be genuine, is a demonstration of the truth of the contents? |
| 40978 | That Mahomet divided the moon? |
| 40978 | That astrology is a science? |
| 40978 | That the sun stood still? |
| 40978 | The next reflection the Doctor makes, is respecting gospel moderation, for which purpose he quotes,"Who art thou that judgest another man''s servant? |
| 40978 | The question is, what degree of credit does the mutilated, contradictory, and fabulous collection, said to be made out of these records, deserve? |
| 40978 | They say it means the Devil, but how does that appear? |
| 40978 | Was his march so terrible? |
| 40978 | Was it not till Jesus Christ came? |
| 40978 | Was not Saul dethroned because he was humane enough not to cut Agag in pieces? |
| 40978 | We ask, in what language was the Pentateuch written, if it really was the work of Moses? |
| 40978 | Were all the male children already polluted from their birth? |
| 40978 | Were not the Romans masters of Judea? |
| 40978 | Were the Syrians in the land when he came? |
| 40978 | Were these continual murders necessary to instruct ignorant idolaters who followed the example of their priests? |
| 40978 | What an irksome task have those undertaken, who have attempted to reconcile the horrible crimes of the Jews with the mercy and wisdom of the Creator? |
| 40978 | What connection has the stoppage of the sun, or rather the earth''s motion, with the sun rising where it sets? |
| 40978 | What degree of credit does a nation deserve, who have been able to take for originals books that were in the face of them translations? |
| 40978 | What has this to do with the Messiah coming at the end of the first seven weeks? |
| 40978 | What is more strange, how came Samuel to introduce such a passage? |
| 40978 | What is this anterior book which Joshua respects so much? |
| 40978 | What was the belief of the Jews? |
| 40978 | What, and when are we to see the good effects of their barbarities? |
| 40978 | Who but a clergyman would build a system upon a mutilated, spurious, and insignificant collection of absurdities and wonders? |
| 40978 | Why did God mingle his important and sublime precepts with such ridiculous trash, so as to induce mankind to disbelieve them both? |
| 40978 | Why then believe the testimony of a miracle in one instance, and not in another? |
| 40978 | Why? |
| 40978 | Will you then, without any proofs of Isaiah having written this book, insist upon calling it a prophecy? |
| 40978 | Wilt thou not possess that which_ Chemosh thy god_ giveth thee to possess? |
| 40978 | Would any part be believed that was not corroborated by the evidence of respectable contemporary authors? |
| 40978 | Would he not rather, to make the book consistent, expunge it? |
| 40978 | Yet what reason have we to disbelieve them? |
| 40978 | You say, that if the works of Titus Livius had been ascribed to another, they would nevertheless be true; how would you ascertain it? |
| 40978 | Your reply is curious: because we never have seen the like of them, does it follow that they are untrue? |
| 40978 | _ Primus in orbe Deos fecit timor_, says the philosopher; can you disprove it? |

| 7076 | Ah,he replied, his face brightening,"you''re a salt un too, are ye? |
| 7076 | Ah,he said,"how are you getting on?" |
| 7076 | Anything more in that pocket? |
| 7076 | But why not let me have my own books to read? |
| 7076 | But will they be less? 7076 Could you?" |
| 7076 | Did the beef stick in yer ribs? |
| 7076 | Fat, ai n''t he? |
| 7076 | How did yer like the figgy duff? |
| 7076 | How do you know? |
| 7076 | How long are ye doing? |
| 7076 | How long have ye got? |
| 7076 | How long ye doin'', mate? |
| 7076 | I say, mate, how long ye doin''? |
| 7076 | I suppose you know,I asked on his first visit,"what I am here for?" |
| 7076 | I suppose you''ve lived pretty well? |
| 7076 | Judge North: Sir Hardinge, is it not better to withdraw this juryman at once? 7076 May they not have a copy of the Act, my lord?" |
| 7076 | Queer lookin''bloke, ai nt he? |
| 7076 | See me what? |
| 7076 | Well, Mr. Foote,said the genial officer,"how are you getting on? |
| 7076 | What are these for? |
| 7076 | What religion? |
| 7076 | What''s he in for? |
| 7076 | What''s your sentence? |
| 7076 | Where? |
| 7076 | Who''s the bloke in yer? |
| 7076 | ''How old are you, Monsieur Fontenelle?'' |
| 7076 | ''Well,''I said,''what''s the matter?'' |
| 7076 | --"How long''s he doin''?" |
| 7076 | A friend of mine said to one of the officers of the court before I entered the dock,"Well, how is the case going to- day?" |
| 7076 | A man behind me was evidently struck by the Governor''s appearance, for I heard him mutter to his neighbor,"Good old boy, ai n''t he?" |
| 7076 | According to this view, the prosecution has simply to put any heretical work into the hands of a jury, and say,"Gentlemen, do you like that? |
| 7076 | After that I went to the house of prayer like any church- going belle( this is what Cowper must have meant, for how could a_ bell_ go to church?) |
| 7076 | And can you suppose that my imprisonment will induce me to regard Christianity with a more friendly eye? |
| 7076 | And did the original party to the suit intimate his readiness to be subpoenaed as a witness at the trial? |
| 7076 | And do you really mean that you ca n''t possibly find me a bigger coat?" |
| 7076 | And if so, why not set up a similar distinction between long and broad faces in every other department of thought? |
| 7076 | And is it not a still more grievous wrong that these interviews should take place during the exercise hour? |
| 7076 | And to respect them how? |
| 7076 | And who is Sir Henry Tyler? |
| 7076 | Are we wicked? |
| 7076 | As"pieces of justification,"to use a French phrase, I quote these two passages:"Our ill- wishers( what journal has none?) |
| 7076 | Could he lend me any books? |
| 7076 | Did he give Sir Henry Tyler a power of attorney to defend his character by instituting a prosecution for libel? |
| 7076 | Did you hear it? |
| 7076 | Directly his back was turned the prisoner eagerly whispered,"How long are ye doin''?" |
| 7076 | Does not the proverb say that one man''s meat is another man''s poison? |
| 7076 | He stands before his judge; he is accused-- of what, gentlemen? |
| 7076 | How can all this be construed as a breach of the peace? |
| 7076 | How could the greatest orator hope to overcome the difficulties presented by such surroundings? |
| 7076 | How did our prosecutors learn that we displeased Almighty God? |
| 7076 | How then can he ask that it shall only be attacked in polite language? |
| 7076 | How, indeed, could they possibly fail? |
| 7076 | I asked,"How did he contrive to get inside his maker?" |
| 7076 | If juries have nothing to do with Acts of Parliament, why are statutes enacted? |
| 7076 | If so, where is the document, and who will prove the signature? |
| 7076 | If the Prophet of Nazareth were alive again to- day, who would expect to find him at a Lord Mayor''s banquet? |
| 7076 | If they never happened, why should they enjoy more respect and protection than other delusions? |
| 7076 | In what manner did Sir Henry Tyler first become aware of the fact? |
| 7076 | Is not the night always darkest and coldest before the dawn? |
| 7076 | Is not the tiger''s dying spring most fierce and terrible? |
| 7076 | It was longer than I expected, but what matter? |
| 7076 | Let Christianity strike Freethinkers if it will, but why add insult to injury? |
| 7076 | Mr. Foote: Does your lordship mean that I am not to read from anything to show justification of the libel? |
| 7076 | Mr. Foote: Does your lordship mean that I am to go on reading or not? |
| 7076 | Mr. Foote: No less a person than the brother of one of our most learned---- Mr. Justice North: Now did I not tell you that you could not do that? |
| 7076 | Mr. Foote: Will your lordship give me a most distinct ruling in this case? |
| 7076 | Mr. Justice North: By whom is your report published? |
| 7076 | Mr. Justice North: What are you going to refer to it for? |
| 7076 | Mr. Justice North: What for? |
| 7076 | Must we regard long- faced scepticism as permissible heresy, and broad- faced scepticism as punishable blasphemy? |
| 7076 | Suppose Freethought had the upper hand, and served you as you serve us: would n''t you think it shameful?" |
| 7076 | Ten days or so after I entered Holloway I overheard the following conversation behind me:--"Who''s that bloke in front o''you?" |
| 7076 | The author of the book---- Mr. Justice North: What is the name of the book? |
| 7076 | Then he added, with look half positive and half interrogative,"Time''s damned long, ai n''t it?" |
| 7076 | Then, calling up a young Irish officer in my wing, he asked"How is this? |
| 7076 | Then, with a flourish of the pen, and an air of finality, he put the question again more decisively,"What religion?" |
| 7076 | This sufficed for hands and face, but how was I to get a wash all over? |
| 7076 | This worthy stirred the mixture with a ladle, while he jocosely inquired,"D''ye want any of this?" |
| 7076 | Was any form of Christianity ever substituted either for Paganism or any other form of Christianity without heat, exaggeration, and fierce invective? |
| 7076 | Was it, in the ancient fashion, revealed to him in a dream, or did it come by direct inspiration? |
| 7076 | Was n''t he a darned fool? |
| 7076 | What are the circumstances? |
| 7076 | What did I intend to do? |
| 7076 | What is it that men have a right to at law? |
| 7076 | What reason is there in imprisoning an innocent man because some one meditates an assault upon him? |
| 7076 | What the hell''s that?" |
| 7076 | What though I have suffered the heaviest punishment inflicted on a Freethinker for a hundred and twenty years? |
| 7076 | What was the exact language of the aggrieved Deity? |
| 7076 | Where had I been? |
| 7076 | Who are we? |
| 7076 | Who can define"the decencies of controversy?" |
| 7076 | Who knows? |
| 7076 | Why are these propagators of heresy never molested? |
| 7076 | Why brand us as cowards when you martyr us? |
| 7076 | Why charge us with hypocrisy when we dare your hate? |
| 7076 | Why has n''t Mr. Foote been invited to chapel?" |
| 7076 | Why not let_ Punch_ and_ Fun_ be suppressed, political cartoons be Anathema, and social satire a felony? |
| 7076 | Why should one man be allowed to deny miracles, and another man imprisoned for laughing at them? |
| 7076 | Why was not this worthy fellow on the jury, or better still, on the bench? |
| 7076 | Why, then, do they object to ridicule in religion? |
| 7076 | Will they, I thought, try to handcuff us? |
| 7076 | William Harcourt''s reply to Mr. Freshfield, I expressed myself as follows:"What, indeed, do the prosecutors hope or expect to gain? |
| 7076 | Would he not rather hate and denounce these modern Pharisees as cordially as they would certainly hate and denounce him? |
| 7076 | Would it not be better for these presumptuous mortals to mind their own business? |
| 7076 | Would it not be wiser and juster to restrain the intending criminal, as is ordinarily done? |
| 7076 | Would you not say you were persecuted?" |
| 7076 | _ What_ has been disproved?" |
| 7076 | or, rather, who was he? |
| 38103 | You have? |
| 38103 | _ Can the mind conceive of more horrid blasphemy?_Is not that true? |
| 38103 | _ Can the mind conceive of more horrid blasphemy?_Is not that true? |
| 38103 | _ Or the word of God,--_What is that? |
| 38103 | _ The bible- God says that his people made him jealous"Provoked him to anger._Is that true? |
| 38103 | All at once there arose a man called Martin Luther, and what did the dear old Catholics think? |
| 38103 | And are they the"merciful"who when some man endeavors to answer their argument, put him in the penitentiary? |
| 38103 | And do you know that we ought to feel under the greatest obligation to men who have fought the prevailing notions of their day? |
| 38103 | And has a man that right? |
| 38103 | And how are you going to keep from having more? |
| 38103 | And is it possible that a work written by an infinite being has to be protected by a legislature? |
| 38103 | And suppose he does not believe in any bible whatever? |
| 38103 | And what does that mean? |
| 38103 | And what else says the defendant? |
| 38103 | And what else? |
| 38103 | And what else? |
| 38103 | And what has been the result? |
| 38103 | And what is it to reap that field? |
| 38103 | And what of that? |
| 38103 | And wherever such laws have been enforced, have the people been friends? |
| 38103 | And why? |
| 38103 | And why? |
| 38103 | Any harm in saying that? |
| 38103 | Are they holy? |
| 38103 | Are we any nearer thinking alike to- day than we were then? |
| 38103 | Are we not all children of the same Mother? |
| 38103 | Are we not all compelled to think, whether we wish to or not? |
| 38103 | Can any man have the egotism to say that he has found it all out? |
| 38103 | Can anything be plainer-- anything more forcibly stated? |
| 38103 | Can you help thinking as you do? |
| 38103 | Can you imagine an infinitely good God sending a man to hell because he did not believe the bear story? |
| 38103 | Could it now, by any possibility, make a man a good father, a good husband, a good citizen? |
| 38103 | Could you pour contempt on Shakespeare by saying that his mother was a woman,--by saying that he was once a poor crying little helpless child? |
| 38103 | Did anybody ever dream of passing a law to protect Shakespeare from being laughed at? |
| 38103 | Did anybody ever think of such a thing? |
| 38103 | Did anybody ever want any legislative enactment to keep people from holding Robert Burns in contempt? |
| 38103 | Did he know he would drown them when he made them? |
| 38103 | Did he know they ought to be drowned when they were made? |
| 38103 | Did he not, if the bible is true, drown the people? |
| 38103 | Did the prosecution have the courage to attack his reputation? |
| 38103 | Did they succeed? |
| 38103 | Did you ever know of a more despicable fraud practiced by one brother on another than Jacob practiced on Esau? |
| 38103 | Do you believe that? |
| 38103 | Do you know that all the mechanics that ever lived-- take the best ones-- cannot make two clocks that will run exactly alike one hour, one minute? |
| 38103 | Do you not see what the effect will be? |
| 38103 | Does he help the poor? |
| 38103 | Does he like to lock somebody up in the penitentiary because he has the power of the moment? |
| 38103 | Does he need assistance from New Jersey? |
| 38103 | Does he pay his debts? |
| 38103 | Does he tell the truth? |
| 38103 | Does he want to crush his fellow citizens? |
| 38103 | Does he wish to use it as a despot, or as a philanthropist-- like a devil, or like a man? |
| 38103 | Does it make any difference whether you believe it or not? |
| 38103 | Does it, or does it not? |
| 38103 | Does that cast any scorn or contempt upon him? |
| 38103 | Does the bible describe God as having drowned the whole world with the exception of eight people? |
| 38103 | For what sum of money, for what amount of wealth, would the world have the science of Astronomy expunged from the brain of man? |
| 38103 | Gentlemen, does not that show the need of more missionaries? |
| 38103 | Had they the public weal at heart, or were they simply endeavoring to be revenged upon this defendant? |
| 38103 | Has he got a heart that melts when he hears grief''s story? |
| 38103 | Has he the right to be sincere? |
| 38103 | Has he the right to say it, if he believes it? |
| 38103 | Has he the right to show that Martin Luther said he did not believe there was one solitary word of gospel in the Epistle to the Romans? |
| 38103 | Has he the right to show that some of these books were not written till nearly two hundred years afterwards? |
| 38103 | Has he the right to show that the book of Revelation got into the canon by one vote, and one only? |
| 38103 | Has he the right to show that there were twenty- eight books called"The Books of the Hebrews?" |
| 38103 | Has he the right to show that they passed in convention upon what books they would put in and what they would not? |
| 38103 | Has he the right to show that? |
| 38103 | Have you a right to think about it at all? |
| 38103 | Have you not the right to read, to observe, to investigate-- and when you have so read and so investigated, have you not the right to reap that field? |
| 38103 | Have you produced a new argument? |
| 38103 | He goes so far as to say, that"_ He was found staring foolishly at his own little toes._"And why not? |
| 38103 | Honestly-- what do you think they would say? |
| 38103 | How are you going to judge him? |
| 38103 | How did they come to crucify him? |
| 38103 | How did they happen to have it, and how did you happen to be deprived of it? |
| 38103 | How do you know what such men are mentioned for? |
| 38103 | How does he use power? |
| 38103 | How else? |
| 38103 | How has the church in every age, when in authority, defended itself? |
| 38103 | I do not say whether this is true or not, but has a man the right to say it if he believes it? |
| 38103 | I have given you my definition of blasphemy, and now the question arises, what is worship? |
| 38103 | If God be infinitely good and wise and powerful, is it possible he is afraid of anything? |
| 38103 | If it is true, is it blasphemous? |
| 38103 | If others claim the right, where did they get it? |
| 38103 | If this statute is constitutional, why has it been allowed to sleep for all these years? |
| 38103 | If what the defendant has said is blasphemy under this statute then the question arises, is the statute in accordance with the Constitution? |
| 38103 | If you have the right to work with your hands and to gather the harvest for yourself and your children, have you not a right to cultivate your brain? |
| 38103 | Is a man to be sent to the penitentiary for that? |
| 38103 | Is any statute needed to keep Euclid from being laughed at in this neighborhood? |
| 38103 | Is he convinced? |
| 38103 | Is it any harm to speak of it? |
| 38103 | Is it blasphemous to deny that God commanded his children to murder each other? |
| 38103 | Is it blasphemous to say that he was benevolent, merciful and just? |
| 38103 | Is it blasphemy to ask that question? |
| 38103 | Is it blasphemy to deny that a God of infinite love gave such commandments? |
| 38103 | Is it blasphemy to quote from the"Sacred Scriptures?" |
| 38103 | Is it blasphemy to say that Solomon was not a virtuous man, or that David was an adulterer? |
| 38103 | Is it blasphemy to say that you do not like a hypocrite, a murderer, or a thief, because his name is in the bible? |
| 38103 | Is it blasphemy to tell the truth and to say exactly what David was? |
| 38103 | Is it likely that a being of infinite wisdom would deliberately do what he knew he must undo? |
| 38103 | Is it necessary to believe that? |
| 38103 | Is it possible that Christians will break the peace? |
| 38103 | Is it possible that a book can not be written by a God so that it will not excite the laughter of the human race? |
| 38103 | Is it possible that a good and wise God, knowing that he was going to drown them, made millions of people? |
| 38103 | Is it possible that they will violate the law? |
| 38103 | Is it probable that Christians will congregate together and make a mob, simply because a man has given an opinion against their religion? |
| 38103 | Is not that an absurd and foolish statute? |
| 38103 | Is such a denial calculated to pour contempt and scorn upon the God of the Orthodox? |
| 38103 | Is that of any importance? |
| 38103 | Is that the Christian religion? |
| 38103 | Is that the Christian religion? |
| 38103 | Is that the doctrine? |
| 38103 | Is that the law? |
| 38103 | Is the god dead? |
| 38103 | Is there any blasphemy about that? |
| 38103 | Is there any evidence-- has there been any-- to show that the defendant was not absolutely candid in the expression of his opinions? |
| 38103 | Is there anything blasphemous in that? |
| 38103 | Is there anything in this that is blasphemous? |
| 38103 | Is there one particle of evidence tending to show that he is not a perfectly honest and sincere man? |
| 38103 | Is this blasphemy? |
| 38103 | Is this law constitutional, or is it simply an old statute that fell asleep, that was forgotten, that people simply failed to repeal? |
| 38103 | Is this statute in harmony with that part of the Constitution of 1844 which says:"The liberty of speech shall not be abridged?" |
| 38103 | Must a man be honest? |
| 38103 | Now gentlemen, what is blasphemy? |
| 38103 | Now how should we treat a new thought? |
| 38103 | Now is it not a fact that the Old Testament does uphold polygamy? |
| 38103 | Now is there any blasphemy in saying that the bible is true? |
| 38103 | Now what has a man the right to say about that? |
| 38103 | Ought I to clap my hand over my mouth and start for another State, and the minute I got over the line say,"It is not true, It is not true?" |
| 38103 | Ought an honest man to be sent to the penitentiary for simply telling the truth? |
| 38103 | Should you express that thought? |
| 38103 | Suppose a man believes that, and practices it, does it make any difference whether he believes in the flood or not? |
| 38103 | Suppose the defendant in this case were guilty of something like that? |
| 38103 | The defendant is also charged with having said that"_ God cried and screamed._"Why not? |
| 38103 | The first question for you, gentlemen, to decide in this case is: Is this statute constitutional? |
| 38103 | The songs of Burns will be sung as long as there is love in the human heart Do we need to protect him from ridicule by a statute? |
| 38103 | Then what has happened? |
| 38103 | Then what have they cursed? |
| 38103 | Then what would the Turks do? |
| 38103 | Then what would the Turks say? |
| 38103 | They would put the Morristown missionary in jail, and he would send home word, and then what would the people of Morris- town say? |
| 38103 | Was he a good man? |
| 38103 | Was not the world exactly as God made it? |
| 38103 | Well what is it? |
| 38103 | Well, the great question about that is, is it true? |
| 38103 | Well, what is the Christian religion? |
| 38103 | Were most of them as guilty of blasphemy as is the defendant in this case? |
| 38103 | Were they actuated by good and noble motives? |
| 38103 | Were they willing to disgrace the State, in order that they might punish him? |
| 38103 | What did he make them for? |
| 38103 | What does it mean? |
| 38103 | What does it mean? |
| 38103 | What else did the savage suppose? |
| 38103 | What for? |
| 38103 | What harm can come from an honest interchange of thought? |
| 38103 | What if God did cry? |
| 38103 | What is blasphemy? |
| 38103 | What is holy? |
| 38103 | What is prayer? |
| 38103 | What is real blasphemy? |
| 38103 | What is real religion? |
| 38103 | What is sacred? |
| 38103 | What is the use of telling a falsehood about it? |
| 38103 | What is their religion? |
| 38103 | What of it? |
| 38103 | What right has he? |
| 38103 | What was the spirit of our government at that time? |
| 38103 | What were the reasons given? |
| 38103 | What were their opinions? |
| 38103 | What would I do? |
| 38103 | What would I not give for a picture of Shakespeare as a babe,--a picture that was a likeness,--rocked by his mother? |
| 38103 | When some poor mother is found wandering in the street with a babe at her breast, does he quote Scripture, or hunt for his pocket- book? |
| 38103 | Where did a church or a nation get that right? |
| 38103 | Where would we have been if authority had always triumphed? |
| 38103 | Where would we have been if such statutes had always been carried out? |
| 38103 | Where, then, is the blasphemy in saying so? |
| 38103 | Whether a man built an ark or not-- does that make the slightest difference? |
| 38103 | Who are the men who are leading the race upward and shedding light in the intellectual world? |
| 38103 | Who is a worshipper? |
| 38103 | Who is to blame? |
| 38103 | Who obtained this indictment? |
| 38103 | Who were they? |
| 38103 | Why did he make your brain so that you could not by any possibility be a Methodist? |
| 38103 | Why did he make yours so that you could not be a Catholic? |
| 38103 | Why did he not do so? |
| 38103 | Why has it been allowed to slumber? |
| 38103 | Why kick him? |
| 38103 | Why not? |
| 38103 | Why not? |
| 38103 | Why should not each human being have the right, so far as thought and its expression are concerned, of all the world? |
| 38103 | Why should we fear our fellow- men? |
| 38103 | Why, whoever did, since the poor man, or the poor God, was crucified? |
| 38103 | Why? |
| 38103 | Why? |
| 38103 | Why? |
| 38103 | Why? |
| 38103 | Why? |
| 38103 | Will they succeed? |
| 38103 | You can hardly imagine that there was a time when the same kind of men that made this law said to another man:"You say this world is round?" |
| 38103 | You may not agree with these men-- and what does that prove? |
| 38103 | You say:"Take a chair; are you thirsty, are you hungry, will you not break bread with me?" |
| 38103 | You will get your revenge on him through all eternity-- is not that enough? |
| 30202 | Did he suffer much, poor fellow? 30202 Did the beef stick in yer stomach?" |
| 30202 | Does she? |
| 30202 | How did yer like the figgy duff? |
| 30202 | What is it? |
| 30202 | Why should people get drenched in Fleet- street while the Buckinghamshire farmers want rain? 30202 Why,"said the sailor,"did n''t you infernal Jews crucify him?" |
| 30202 | * WHO KILLED CHRIST? |
| 30202 | --"_Popule meus, quid feci tibi?_"According to Luther, fair and foul winds were caused by good and evil spirits. |
| 30202 | A featherless biped? |
| 30202 | A possessed person was taken into a monastery, and the devil in him said to the monks,"O my people, what have I done?" |
| 30202 | Admitting the age of the phrase, some will ask, Is it respectable? |
| 30202 | After all, might n''t it have been better if he had been spared instead of me? |
| 30202 | And does not life become sweeter when we see no cruel intelligence behind the catastrophes of nature? |
| 30202 | And had Pilate any alternative to sentencing him to the legal punishment of his crime? |
| 30202 | And how can men be"sinners"? |
| 30202 | And how is it our telescopes can not detect it? |
| 30202 | And how would the account stand then? |
| 30202 | And if he be lost-- but to save my soul, that is all your desire; Do you think that I care for my soul if my boy be gone to the fire? |
| 30202 | And if"devil"and"dodger"are respectable in their single state, how do they become vulgar when they are married? |
| 30202 | And is not"dodger"clear as well as expressive? |
| 30202 | And is what is left-- if_ anything_ is left-- an adequate price for the abnegation of manhood? |
| 30202 | And was not the earth certainly flat, as millions of flats believed it to be? |
| 30202 | And what is the result? |
| 30202 | And what man of letters in England-- a country abounding in"the oxen of the gods,"strong, slow, and stupid-- is free from his influence? |
| 30202 | And what shall we say of the final lines of the whole poem? |
| 30202 | And what site is there for Heaven out in the cold blackness of space? |
| 30202 | And why allow investigation if another man''s errors may involve your perdition? |
| 30202 | And why are they men? |
| 30202 | And why are they sinners? |
| 30202 | And why does he say it? |
| 30202 | And why is he wroth with them? |
| 30202 | And why is it likely that Paul, of all men, escaped the contagion of fraud, which has always disgraced the Christian Church? |
| 30202 | And why not? |
| 30202 | And why should not the question be raised? |
| 30202 | Are we wrong in preferring to laugh? |
| 30202 | Are you ready? |
| 30202 | Besides, your clergy pray for a change in the weather when they find it necessary; and to whom do they pray but God? |
| 30202 | Between the best and vilest how much difference is there in the eye of infinite wisdom? |
| 30202 | But does it_ not_ matter whether he go alone or drag down others with him to perdition? |
| 30202 | But does the proof exist? |
| 30202 | But has not wit ever been the keenest weapon of the great emancipators of the human mind? |
| 30202 | But how can anyone be sure that Spurgeon was absolutely right? |
| 30202 | But how can they sin against God? |
| 30202 | But how is that to be done? |
| 30202 | But if the temples of one faith may be so transformed, why may not those of another? |
| 30202 | But is any one in danger of doing so? |
| 30202 | But is it not just possible that Spurgeon has gone to hell? |
| 30202 | But is it not perfectly obvious from the Gospel story that Pilate tried to save Jesus? |
| 30202 | But is it quite as thick as the heads of the fools who believe it? |
| 30202 | But is it really worth while for Samson to grind chaff for the Philistines? |
| 30202 | But is not the hell of Mr. Spurgeon the hell of the New Testament? |
| 30202 | But is there not antagonism between Evolution and any kind of Theism yet formulated? |
| 30202 | But is this really vulgar? |
| 30202 | But should it not also be read in the light of Christian history? |
| 30202 | But suppose we take this view of the case: does it therefore follow that they acted without justification? |
| 30202 | But the omniscient Mr. Gosse was born( or_ was_ he born?) |
| 30202 | But what does it mean? |
| 30202 | But what if they are mistaken? |
| 30202 | But what is a_ man_? |
| 30202 | But who can believe it? |
| 30202 | But who ever said that it did? |
| 30202 | But who, it may be asked, is on good terms with him? |
| 30202 | But why did Jesus imitate the lunatics? |
| 30202 | But why should a great man waste his energies in propagating such a barren truism? |
| 30202 | But why should it do anything of the kind? |
| 30202 | But, on the other hand, if all religions but one are certainly wrong, what is the chance of a single one being certainly right? |
| 30202 | But_ are_ the spooks real? |
| 30202 | But_ both_ of them_ can not_ be authentic, and the problem is, which is the very coat that Jesus wore? |
| 30202 | Can the clergy show a single live specimen? |
| 30202 | Can the geologist or the chemist discern any difference between the consecrated and the unconsecrated division in a cemetery? |
| 30202 | Can the third person of the Trinity have sunk into such an abject state as to dodge in and out of buildings, according as he is wanted or not? |
| 30202 | Can the"universal spirit"dwell exclusively in certain places? |
| 30202 | Can they deceive him? |
| 30202 | Can they injure him? |
| 30202 | Can they limit his happiness? |
| 30202 | Can they rob him? |
| 30202 | Could any man in his senses expect them for less money? |
| 30202 | Could he have been deceived? |
| 30202 | Could such a slender chance of profit in the next life compensate for slavery in this life? |
| 30202 | DID JESUS ASCEND? |
| 30202 | DID JESUS ASCEND? |
| 30202 | Did he attempt any defence? |
| 30202 | Did he call any witnesses? |
| 30202 | Did he mean"Send him to God for judgment?" |
| 30202 | Did he mean,"The fellow is n''t fit for earth, so send him to heaven?" |
| 30202 | Did not Jacob take Rachel and Leah together, and walk out with them, one on each arm? |
| 30202 | Did not the Bible say that General Joshua commanded the sun to stand still, and how could this have happened unless it moved round the earth? |
| 30202 | Did not the obstinate prisoner plead guilty to what was really a charge of sedition? |
| 30202 | Did the Lord answer the prayer according to its insensity? |
| 30202 | Did you not perceive the flutter of their black wings? |
| 30202 | Did you not see them? |
| 30202 | Did you not smell their sulphurous taint? |
| 30202 | Do the corpses lie any more peacefully, or decompose any more slowly, for the words pronounced over the mould that covers them? |
| 30202 | Do we not still speak of the_ fire_ of life, of inspiration, of love, of heroism? |
| 30202 | Do we not still speak of the_ sunshine_ of prosperity, and of basking in the_ rays_ of fortune? |
| 30202 | Does he mean to imply that other religions set their faces against"fruit"? |
| 30202 | Does it not vary with time, place, and circumstance? |
| 30202 | Does not Jesus speak of everlasting fire? |
| 30202 | Does not every scientist, and every philosopher, know that the orb of his fate was predetermined? |
| 30202 | Does not the Christian''s slight percentage of safety fade into something quite inappreciable in the light of this question? |
| 30202 | Euclid used it in his immortal Geometry; for what else is the_ reductio ad absurdum_ which he sometimes employs? |
| 30202 | Even if one is entirely right, how do we know it is the Baptists? |
| 30202 | Faith never saved men here, and why should it save them hereafter? |
| 30202 | For what is God? |
| 30202 | Hated, yes; but what did the hatred avail? |
| 30202 | Have honest openness and strict veracity been_ ever_ regarded as essential virtues in the propagation of the gospel? |
| 30202 | Have we not a clearer idea of Hamlet and Othello than of half our closest acquaintances? |
| 30202 | He has deliberately chosen the path to hell, and does it matter whether he travel slowly or swiftly to his destination? |
| 30202 | He has legs to walk with, a brain to devise, and hands to execute his will What more does he need? |
| 30202 | How can an inferior apostle be_ sure_ of the kingdom of heaven? |
| 30202 | How can it apply to"the soul"? |
| 30202 | How could he_ sell_ his master when the commodity was common? |
| 30202 | How could his soul enter heaven at the very same moment? |
| 30202 | How is this reconcileable with the notion that Spurgeon''s soul"entered heaven at 11.5"on Sunday evening, the thirty- first of January, 1892? |
| 30202 | How should we treat people who believed that centaurs could be seen now? |
| 30202 | How then do I account for the vulgarities of the Salvation Army? |
| 30202 | How will his little ones get on without a father? |
| 30202 | How would this be worse than the groan of any other lost soul? |
| 30202 | I repeat that they were men of serious aims, and indeed how could they have been otherwise? |
| 30202 | I should call on that Infinite Love that has served us so well? |
| 30202 | IS SPURGEON IN HEAVEN? |
| 30202 | IS SPURGEON IN HEAVEN? |
| 30202 | If Jesus did not mean what he said, why did he take the trouble to speak? |
| 30202 | If so, where? |
| 30202 | Is heaven in the atmosphere? |
| 30202 | Is it consistent with such a character?" |
| 30202 | Is it honest to give him hell for not winning the game? |
| 30202 | Is it just to damn him for holding a bad hand? |
| 30202 | Is it not better, Christian friend, to defy Moloch instead of worshipping him? |
| 30202 | Is it not still better to regard this deity as the creation of fanciful ignorance? |
| 30202 | Is it out in the ether? |
| 30202 | Is it worth travelling so far to enter the Bible heaven, and sing hymns with the menagerie of the Apocalypse? |
| 30202 | Is not existence a terror if Providence may swoop upon us with inevitable talons and irresistible beak? |
| 30202 | Is not this time practically infinite? |
| 30202 | Is the earth affected by priestly mutterings? |
| 30202 | Is there any difference that the nose, or any other sensitive organ, can detect between a consecrated church and an unconsecrated chapel? |
| 30202 | Is there any standard of respectability? |
| 30202 | Is_ she_ with God? |
| 30202 | It claims credit for everything; but what has it achieved? |
| 30202 | It was not Anthony Collins, therefore; but what does that matter? |
| 30202 | Man is always endeavoring to improve it, but what assistance comes from above? |
| 30202 | Might he not justly exclaim"I am holier than thou"? |
| 30202 | Must all the faith be on_ our_ side? |
| 30202 | My friendly though severe critic, Dr. Coit, who recently discoursed at South- place Institute( or is it Chapel?) |
| 30202 | Nay, is not Science the mighty child of common sense-- the fruit of Reason from the lusty embrace of Nature? |
| 30202 | Not a sparrow falls to the ground without his knowledge, and do you think he fails to regulate the clouds? |
| 30202 | Now what is the Lord to do when they go on in this way on opposite sides? |
| 30202 | On another occasion he roughly said to Mary,"Woman, what have I to do with thee?" |
| 30202 | Paul or his opponent? |
| 30202 | Perhaps so; but_ which_ is speaking in the seventh verse? |
| 30202 | Shelley pricked this bubble of speculation in the following passage: What is that Power? |
| 30202 | Shelley''s great cry,"Can man be free if woman be a slave?" |
| 30202 | Should they not practise a little of what they preach? |
| 30202 | So familiar did the Devil become that Luther, hearing him walk overhead at night, would say"Oh, is it you?" |
| 30202 | Surely this fact, which has thousands if not millions of parallels, should abate the impudence of religionists who ask"Who made the world?" |
| 30202 | Tell us, oh tell us, which of these mouldy old rags did once grace thy holy shoulders? |
| 30202 | That Heaven is gone, and where is Our Father? |
| 30202 | That he will come, then, may be taken for granted; and what better opportunity could be desired than the present? |
| 30202 | That is the theory, but how does it work out in practice? |
| 30202 | The Freethinker takes nothing on trust, if he can help it; he dissects, analyses, and proves everything, Does this make him a barren sceptic? |
| 30202 | The clergy live by faith, yet how could they do so if there were not others to support them? |
| 30202 | The ear may detect a certain rhythm, but where are the set lengths of orthodox versification? |
| 30202 | The hairs of your head are numbered, and do you think he can not count the rain- drops? |
| 30202 | Then the game would have lasted his lifetime, and what does it matter if you are found out when you are dead? |
| 30202 | To whom does he say it? |
| 30202 | WHERE IS HELL? |
| 30202 | WHERE IS HELL? |
| 30202 | WHO ARE THE BLASPHEMERS? |
| 30202 | WHO ARE THE BLASPHEMERS? |
| 30202 | WHO KILLED CHRIST? |
| 30202 | Was he not contumacious? |
| 30202 | Was it not declared that Charles Bradlaugh would have become a Christian if he had lived long enough? |
| 30202 | Was not Jesus, in their judgment, guilty of blasphemy, and was not that a deadly crime under the Mosaic law? |
| 30202 | Was not the same asserted of John Stuart Mill? |
| 30202 | Was there a sceptic in the train who partially neutralised its effect? |
| 30202 | Was this due to the fact that Hargraves''prayer was not sufficiently above proof? |
| 30202 | Well, why not? |
| 30202 | Were not the Jews, then, bound to kill him if they could? |
| 30202 | Were not the Jews, then, carrying out the plain commandment of Jehovah? |
| 30202 | What are they but his own fancies, brooded on till they become facts of memory, and seem to possess an objective existence? |
| 30202 | What can we conjecture of any other life except from our experience of this? |
| 30202 | What certainty can they have in the matter? |
| 30202 | What could be more proper than the transformation of Pagan temples into Christian churches? |
| 30202 | What does that mean? |
| 30202 | What father would permit in his family the gross disparities we see in human life? |
| 30202 | What has God to do with the weather?" |
| 30202 | What has happened to Providence since the Bible days? |
| 30202 | What human father would not be ashamed to treat his children with such infamous partiality? |
| 30202 | What if a man, yea a fancied saint, may be damned without knowing it? |
| 30202 | What is Faith? |
| 30202 | What is a miracle? |
| 30202 | What is the Christian scheme in a nutshell? |
| 30202 | What is the God of our own theology, as Matthew Arnold puts it, but a magnified man? |
| 30202 | What is the omitted word? |
| 30202 | What is the use of thinking if I may not express my thought? |
| 30202 | What is this principle of persecution, and how is it generated and developed in the human mind? |
| 30202 | What is_ damned_ then? |
| 30202 | What more admirable than devoting to the worship of Christ the edifice which had echoed to the tread of the priests of Jupiter? |
| 30202 | What more can he ask without declaring himself a weakling or a fool? |
| 30202 | What more does he require? |
| 30202 | What sense is there in his being paid to indicate the best- known man in Jerusalem? |
| 30202 | What sensible man believes that the Holy Ghost, if such a being exist, is at the beck and call of every Catholic or Protestant bishop? |
| 30202 | What then are_ sinners_? |
| 30202 | What though tempests beat and billows roar? |
| 30202 | What will his wife do? |
| 30202 | What wonder is it that Mr. Gosse became intoxicated in turn, and soared in a rapture of panegyric over a Shelley of his own construction? |
| 30202 | What would man be without fire? |
| 30202 | When they meet what does it matter which was made for the other? |
| 30202 | Where is the goodness? |
| 30202 | Where is the wisdom of this? |
| 30202 | Who are the blasphemers? |
| 30202 | Who can conceive an easier method of avoiding the consequences of wickedness? |
| 30202 | Who killed Christ? |
| 30202 | Who knows?" |
| 30202 | Why investigate if you may be damned for your conclusions? |
| 30202 | Why seek to limit the duration of hell by some hocus- pocus of interpretation? |
| 30202 | Why should God"damn"men? |
| 30202 | Why should he argue when argument may mislead? |
| 30202 | Why should he not come? |
| 30202 | Why should he not come? |
| 30202 | Why should he stumble at trifles when he has surmounted the first great obstacle to credulity? |
| 30202 | Why then do you worship a Moloch who laughs at the writhings of his victims and drinks their tears like wine? |
| 30202 | Why then does Professor Huxley press the"possibility"of miracles against his Freethinking friends? |
| 30202 | Why then does the business hold out? |
| 30202 | Why then, you may ask, did I not quit this inhospitable hotel, and put up at another establishment? |
| 30202 | Would he not be a perfect barbarian? |
| 30202 | Would he not be responsible for the curse of that being''s existence? |
| 30202 | Would it be right in me, or anyone who knew him, to aid or sanction such a fraud?'' |
| 30202 | Would it not impair his sleep, and fill his dreams with terror? |
| 30202 | Would not every one admit some ability in the unhereditary recipient of fifteen thousand a year? |
| 30202 | Would not that"lost soul"have the right to curse his maker? |
| 30202 | Would not this be extremely unjust, nay dreadfully cruel? |
| 30202 | Would you have done this deed? |
| 30202 | Yes, but who will vouch for Mohammed? |

| 38446 | Can Protestant communities maintain their unity by the same method? |
| 38446 | Can this strait be crossed? |
| 38446 | Conclusion BOOK III.--DOGMA CHAPTER I WHAT IS A DOGMA? |
| 38446 | Did He not at once give them perfect dogmas, a completed form of worship, an immutable and completed system of ethics?" |
| 38446 | Do they not see that the very idea of revelation soon becomes contradictory? |
| 38446 | Does He hesitate to declare that John at that very moment is"the Elias which was for to come"? |
| 38446 | Does He not love you better than you love yourselves? |
| 38446 | Does He not make all things work together for the good of His children? |
| 38446 | Does he doubt a single moment that they obey laws, unknown perhaps, but certain? |
| 38446 | Does not childhood run on into maturity and old age? |
| 38446 | Does not experience establish and piety confirm this? |
| 38446 | During this time, what did worship, adoration, religion, properly speaking, become? |
| 38446 | Examples? |
| 38446 | Has it a compass? |
| 38446 | Has life a meaning? |
| 38446 | Has life ever been seen apart from living beings or light apart from luminous vibrations? |
| 38446 | Have you ever been present in a crowd excited and exalted by religious enthusiasm? |
| 38446 | Have you felt the contagion? |
| 38446 | His power, is it not always exactly in proportion to his knowledge? |
| 38446 | How can a man jump off his own shadow, or stand on his own shoulders, to look over the impassable wall? |
| 38446 | How can it subsist if it obeys the formal and summary logic which summons us to choose between them? |
| 38446 | How can such a universe escape the teleological interpretation of religious faith? |
| 38446 | How can that which is historical be held to be ideal and eternal? |
| 38446 | How can that which is ideal and perfect be realised in history? |
| 38446 | How can they be unless the spirit of Christianity disengages itself without ceasing and floats above them as an ideal? |
| 38446 | How can we comprehend their co- existence and their union, and yet how can we doubt it? |
| 38446 | How can we forget that, so far from attenuating it, science in its progress aggravates and renders mortal the original condition of life? |
| 38446 | How could it ever seize in the course of these causes the immediate action of the First Cause? |
| 38446 | How could such a consciousness submit itself to the yoke again without denying itself? |
| 38446 | How do we know that the objects which they represent exist outside ourselves? |
| 38446 | How else will you explain the_ Pensées_ of Pascal or of Maine de Biran, or the_ Journal_ of Amiel? |
| 38446 | How explain, moreover, without this reality of science, the power that science gives to man over Nature? |
| 38446 | How is their evolution effected? |
| 38446 | How may we attain to peace of soul and to the assurance of pardon and of life eternal?" |
| 38446 | How must we understand this perfection? |
| 38446 | How shall I solve this contradiction of my being which makes me at the same time live and die? |
| 38446 | How then could it communicate to its definitions an infallibility that it did not itself possess? |
| 38446 | How to make them live together and unite them? |
| 38446 | How was this hostility to cease? |
| 38446 | How will it be made an educating, saving power? |
| 38446 | How will it become objective and concrete? |
| 38446 | If God wished to make us a gift that we could receive, must He not have suited the form of it to that of our mind? |
| 38446 | If trials come, or dangers threaten, what ought we to do? |
| 38446 | If, by a subtle theology, you succeed in rationalising dogma, do you not see that you destroy it in its very essence? |
| 38446 | In asking what is the principle of Christianity, what do we wish to know? |
| 38446 | In the consciousness of Christ, what did we find was the essence of the perfect and eternal piety? |
| 38446 | In what then does this objectivity of science consist if it is not founded on the pretended knowledge of the thing in itself? |
| 38446 | Is God a phenomenon that the eye of man can ever perceive in any phenomenal series? |
| 38446 | Is He not Almighty and all- good? |
| 38446 | Is Jesus offended by it? |
| 38446 | Is everything explained in religion, then, and nothing left obscure? |
| 38446 | Is it necessary to show how thoroughly this theory is contradicted by psychology and history? |
| 38446 | Is it not a psychological necessity for each believer to bring his inner religious consciousness into harmony with his general culture? |
| 38446 | Is it not remarkable that this very temptation returned to Him through the mouth of Peter? |
| 38446 | Is it not right and necessary to give the new principles of the Reformation a new theological expression? |
| 38446 | Is it not to this eternal gospel that we must always return? |
| 38446 | Is it still intellectual adhesion to dogmas or submission to an external authority? |
| 38446 | Is it worth living? |
| 38446 | Is the cult of a different order and the devotion of a higher quality? |
| 38446 | Is there a passage between Scylla and Charybdis? |
| 38446 | Is there in all the Bible a finer image containing a profounder thought? |
| 38446 | Is there need of many words for a child to make its father understand? |
| 38446 | Is there no issue to the dark and narrow valley which our anxious youth traverse? |
| 38446 | Is there then some chemistry by which we can separate that which God has joined so indissolubly? |
| 38446 | Lastly, what is the criterion by which you may recognise an authentic revelation of God in the books you read, in the things you are taught? |
| 38446 | Lastly, what place does the religion of Jesus occupy in the religious evolution of humanity? |
| 38446 | May we not here foresee the divine purpose of pain? |
| 38446 | May we, ought we in all fidelity to apply the distinction to the Gospel of Christ itself and to the primitive form in which it has come down to us? |
| 38446 | Must He not have availed Himself of our ideas and of our language in order to explain to us the nature of His benefits? |
| 38446 | Must one give up thinking then if he would retain the courage to live, and resign himself to death in order to preserve the right to think? |
| 38446 | Must we either continue to live a moral life belied by science, or set up a theory of things which our consciences condemn? |
| 38446 | Must we then choose between pious ignorance and bare knowledge? |
| 38446 | Must we therefore conclude that there is no more in the one than in the other, and that they are of equal value? |
| 38446 | Nature in its expansion and its evolution-- what is it but the very expression of the Will of the Father? |
| 38446 | Need I say that this is the very opposite of my thought? |
| 38446 | Need I speak of moral activity? |
| 38446 | Need we be surprised that the English thinker pronounces religion to be eternal? |
| 38446 | Now, what is moral knowledge but the theory of the conscious life of spirit? |
| 38446 | On the other hand, these two attributes, are they not equally necessary to it? |
| 38446 | Or shall we pass to the constitution of the Church? |
| 38446 | Or would you consider the moral life and the type of piety? |
| 38446 | Our efforts, have they an end? |
| 38446 | Our works and our thoughts, have they any permanent value to the universe? |
| 38446 | Shall it be another dogma? |
| 38446 | Shall we, with Rationalism, take a moral or philosophical axiom as the criterion? |
| 38446 | Should we go further still? |
| 38446 | Take the Ebionite Christianity of the first centuries: what is it but a mixture, a compromise between Jewish and Christian elements? |
| 38446 | That all which is intelligible to us is real, I grant; but is all that is real intelligible to us? |
| 38446 | The dogmas of the Councils and the theology of the Fathers, who does not see at the first glance their true character? |
| 38446 | The love of truth, is it not the principle of science? |
| 38446 | The monks, the anchorites and their theology of impotent celibates, did they save Egypt, Syria, and Byzantium? |
| 38446 | The point of departure, the inward beginning of a real righteousness, is not this repentance, that is to say the pain of not being righteous? |
| 38446 | The theory of the evolution of things and beings, does it not show Nature to us as in travail, and as if perpetually giving birth to marvels? |
| 38446 | This progress, is it not admirable? |
| 38446 | To finish its course and complete its work, will humanity ever discover another viaticum that will better renew its courage and its hope? |
| 38446 | To love truth above all things, is not that in some way to be already in the truth? |
| 38446 | To the question, Whence come the life and power of symbols? |
| 38446 | Under different names, do we not recognise the First Cause of the philosophers, and the image, half- effaced, of the God of believers? |
| 38446 | Was He ignorant of the fact that in order to have bread we must sow wheat? |
| 38446 | Was a god supposed to have been offended? |
| 38446 | Was not this the piety of Jesus when He taught us to pray:"Our Father which art in Heaven: Thy will be done: Give us our daily bread"? |
| 38446 | What are our most abstract ideas but primitive metaphors which have been worn and thinned by usage and reflection? |
| 38446 | What do the facts prove? |
| 38446 | What does Christian law become without the sentiment of love, without the impulse of mercy, but a sort of moral Stoicism, rigid and severe? |
| 38446 | What if these syntheses and conciliations are necessarily unstable and precarious because of the constant development of life and knowledge? |
| 38446 | What if we were to press the idea of miracle itself which is in process of vanishing in proportion as the idea of Nature is transformed? |
| 38446 | What is Nature? |
| 38446 | What is a symbol? |
| 38446 | What is at once the basis and the sign of the objectivity of the natural sciences? |
| 38446 | What is it, according to science, to know a phenomenon? |
| 38446 | What is its principle or essence? |
| 38446 | What is such prayer as His but the defeat of egoism and the perfect liberation of the individual spirit in the feeling of its plenary union with God? |
| 38446 | What is the cause of the universality and perpetuity of religion? |
| 38446 | What is the relation of the word of God to the Bible? |
| 38446 | What is this supreme revelation of the God of Israel but an apparition by anticipation of the God of the Gospel? |
| 38446 | What savant will forbid me to thank my heavenly Father? |
| 38446 | What shall we say of the Catholic Church after Constantine? |
| 38446 | What then does historical criticism, with all its rigour, do? |
| 38446 | What then is faith? |
| 38446 | What then is the hidden mystery which ferments in the bosom of this painful nature and endeavours to expand? |
| 38446 | What was there then that was so new and potent in the least of His discourses? |
| 38446 | What would happen if we listened to this cry for pure unmixed religion? |
| 38446 | What, then, do they affirm who say with so much assurance that Christianity is the perfect religion? |
| 38446 | When I hear it said,"Priests made religion,"I simply ask,"And who, pray, made the priests?" |
| 38446 | Whence comes this indestructible vitality? |
| 38446 | Whence shall deliverance come? |
| 38446 | Where but in a renovated conception of religion will this needed reconciliation be found? |
| 38446 | Which of these two elements is primitive and generative? |
| 38446 | Which of us can escape this feeling of absolute dependence? |
| 38446 | While developing themselves on parallel lines, can science and faith remain isolated? |
| 38446 | Who does not complain of"the weary weight of all this unintelligible world"? |
| 38446 | Who does not feel his weakness and the pressure of external things? |
| 38446 | Who does not see that neither in His language nor in His thought is there anything absolute? |
| 38446 | Who does not see that the material is Greek in form, in colour, in every fibre of its tissue? |
| 38446 | Who does not see that to represent things otherwise is to remain in the crudest and least religious of anthropomorphisms? |
| 38446 | Who has ever seen life apart from living matter? |
| 38446 | Who has not felt within himself a veiled presence and a force much greater than his own? |
| 38446 | Who has not marked that union now become almost habitual of frivolity of character and intellectual culture the most perfect and refined? |
| 38446 | Who knows its secrets and its limits? |
| 38446 | Why do certain things appear absurd or grotesque in the imaginations of the past? |
| 38446 | Why had they left all and followed Him but because He had appeared to them to be the bearer and the depository of the divine promises? |
| 38446 | Why may not these divers tendencies of soul, coexisting always and everywhere, manifest themselves simultaneously and on parallel lines? |
| 38446 | Why not have religion pure and simple without dogmas? |
| 38446 | Will it be anything more than a speculative philosophy if cut off from its historic tradition? |
| 38446 | Will it continue to inspire me with confidence, will it place me in security, if it ceases to appear to me to be the perfect and definitive religion? |
| 38446 | Will this be because my thanksgiving will be a denial of the science of the physician? |
| 38446 | With what materials, with what concepts, will the religious man construct it? |
| 38446 | With what then, or in the name of what, shall dogma be criticised? |
| 38446 | With what, moreover, and how could it be proved that light shines except by forcing those who are asleep to awake and open their eyes? |
| 38446 | Would it be the work of Divine power, flashing forth and executing its pitiless reprisals? |
| 38446 | _ First Critical Reflections_ Why am I religious? |
| 38446 | _ Initial Contradiction of the Psychological Consciousness_ What is man? |
| 40770 | A God who delights in the tears of his unhappy creatures, who sets for them the ambush, and then punishes them for having fallen into it? |
| 40770 | A God who himself ordains robbery, persecution, and carnage? |
| 40770 | A mild and humane religion can never belong to a partial and cruel God? |
| 40770 | After such principles, is not the whole earth to become a prey to Christian rapacity? |
| 40770 | Among the orthodox courtiers, who surround Christian thrones, do we see intrigues, calumny, or perfidy? |
| 40770 | And are the virtues less because professed by heathens? |
| 40770 | And further, how can the Christian love beings who continually offend his God? |
| 40770 | And have we not a right to refuse their testimonies? |
| 40770 | And how can goodness be an attribute of a God, who has created most of the human race only to damn them eternally? |
| 40770 | And if so, what are they? |
| 40770 | And is not hatred eternalized where implacable revenge is exercised? |
| 40770 | Are not they calculated to discourage man, and throw him into despair? |
| 40770 | Are the men, redeemed by the blood of even a Deity, more honest than others? |
| 40770 | Are the witnesses who transmitted, or the Apostles who saw them, extremely deserving of credit? |
| 40770 | Are they strong? |
| 40770 | Are they weak? |
| 40770 | Are those miracles confirmed by the testimony of cotemporary historians? |
| 40770 | Are we acquainted with his character and temperament? |
| 40770 | At this remote period, how can we be certain that Moses conversed with God, and received from him the law which he communicated to the Hebrews? |
| 40770 | Beings who would continually betray himself into offence? |
| 40770 | But are we not at liberty to doubt the truth of this assertion? |
| 40770 | But have not many wise men among the heathens discovered, without the assistance of the Jewish revelation, one supreme God, superior to all others? |
| 40770 | But in another view, does not it imply mistrust of the wisdom of God to prescribe rules for his conduct? |
| 40770 | But what is it to have morals, in; the language of Christians? |
| 40770 | But what is the foundation of this confidence? |
| 40770 | But when has he spoken? |
| 40770 | But who are these masters? |
| 40770 | But who shall decide whether the laws, most advantageous to society, are conformed to the will of this God? |
| 40770 | But will the revelation, upon which Judaism and Christianity are founded, bear the test of this criterion? |
| 40770 | But, be this as it may, is it true that Christianity admits but one God, the same which was revealed by Moses? |
| 40770 | But, if this be the case, why did the apostles preach to them the gospel? |
| 40770 | But, on the other side, is not reason proscribed by the Christian religion? |
| 40770 | By what fatality have writings revealed by God himself still need of commentaries? |
| 40770 | Can it be supposed that such a Being, without equal and without rival, should be jealous of his glory? |
| 40770 | Can man love a God above all things, who is represented as wrathful, capricious, unjust, and implacable? |
| 40770 | Can man love, above all things, an object the most dreadful that human imagination could ever conceive? |
| 40770 | Can not Christians see, that, in endeavouring to honour and exalt their God, they only degrade and debase him? |
| 40770 | Can reason subscribe to the ridiculous obligation of abstaining from certain aliments and meats which is imposed by some sects of Christians? |
| 40770 | Can such an object excite in the human heart a sentiment of love? |
| 40770 | Can the abject and isolated mind of these mercenary pedagogues be capable of instructing their pupils in that of which themselves are ignorant? |
| 40770 | Can the prayers of man add glory to a Being beyond comparison superior to all others? |
| 40770 | Can we draw from them any just conceptions of its attributes? |
| 40770 | Could it be expected that the Jews would believe the report of the apostles, rather than their own eyes? |
| 40770 | Do not they themselves, in certain cases, have recourse to reason? |
| 40770 | Do they exhibit any precise ideas of the God, whose oracles they announce? |
| 40770 | Do they not appeal to reason, when they endeavour to prove the existence of their God? |
| 40770 | Do we not see Christians adore a threefold divinity, under the name of the Trinity? |
| 40770 | Does he not paint himself as false, unjust, deceitful, and Cruel; as setting snares for mankind; seducing, hardening, and leading them astray? |
| 40770 | Does it not continually exclaim against a profane reason, which it accuses of insufficiency, and often regards as rebellious to heaven? |
| 40770 | Does it not imply a doubt of his immutability, to believe he can be prevailed on by his creatures to alter his designs? |
| 40770 | Does it render empires flourishing and powerful? |
| 40770 | Does it render mankind better? |
| 40770 | Does it, better than any other, make us acquainted with the nature and essence of God? |
| 40770 | Does not every man, who is desirous to live, perceive that vice, intemperance, and voluptuousness must shorten the period of life? |
| 40770 | For why should a man mingle with the affairs of a world, which his religion informs him is only a place of passage? |
| 40770 | From their instructions for eighteen hundred years past, what advantages have nations derived? |
| 40770 | Has it any superior qualities, by which it merits the preference? |
| 40770 | Has this religion influenced the manners of sovereigns, who derive their divine power from it? |
| 40770 | Have not Popes arrogated the right of disposing of distant empires to their favourite Monarchs in Europe? |
| 40770 | Have these infallible men found it possible to agree among themselves, on the most essential points of a religion, revealed by God himself? |
| 40770 | Have we not room to accuse the Saviour of the world with want of benevolence, in shewing himself only to his disciples and favourites? |
| 40770 | How can a God, who enjoys a supreme felicity, be offended with the actions of his creatures? |
| 40770 | How can a benevolent God bestow on his creatures a fatal liberty by the abuse of which they may incur his anger, and their own destruction? |
| 40770 | How can a man, in his senses, see, in the Immanuel announced by Isaiah, the Messiah, whose name is Jesus? |
| 40770 | How can an only God become triple without injuring his unity? |
| 40770 | How can he love sinners? |
| 40770 | How can that Being, who is himself the author of life and nature, suffer death? |
| 40770 | How can we delight in the God under whose rod we tremble? |
| 40770 | How can we know, without the aid of reason, that God hath spoken? |
| 40770 | How can we love that which we dread? |
| 40770 | How discover, in an obscure and crucified Jew, a leader who shall govern Israel? |
| 40770 | How does it happen that such extraordinary events have been noticed only by a handful of Christians? |
| 40770 | How prove the validity of its pretensions? |
| 40770 | How shall we be made sure that they have not been the dupes of some illusion, or an overheated imagination? |
| 40770 | How then can we discover what confidence is due to the testimony which these organs of heaven give in favour of their own mission? |
| 40770 | How then shall we decide in its favour? |
| 40770 | If he is almighty, how can he be flattered with the submissions, adorations, and formalities with which Christians prostrate themselves before him? |
| 40770 | If he knows all things, what need is there of continually informing him what are the dispositions and desires of his subjects? |
| 40770 | If justice, humanity, generosity, temperance, and patience be not virtues, to what can the name be given? |
| 40770 | If literally practised, would they not prove ruinous to society? |
| 40770 | If nothing be due from God to his creatures, how can any thing be due from them to him? |
| 40770 | If so, why do they eternally dispute about them? |
| 40770 | If this revelation be, as is supposed, an emanation from God himself, who can confide in him? |
| 40770 | If we know that the Apostles sometimes wandered from the truth, how shall we believe them at others? |
| 40770 | In this case what need was there of having spoken? |
| 40770 | In this case, how does it happen that Christians continue to sin, as if they had never been redeemed and delivered from sin? |
| 40770 | Indeed, how can it be otherwise, when they confound the cause of God with that of their own vanity? |
| 40770 | Is it but to reveal such mysteries as these that the Godhead has taken pains to instruct mankind? |
| 40770 | Is it certain that the books which are attributed to Moses, and report so many miraculous circumstances, are perfectly authentic? |
| 40770 | Is it even practicable for mankind to love their neighbours as themselves? |
| 40770 | Is it not astonishing, that what was intended as a guide for mankind, should be wholly above their comprehending? |
| 40770 | Is it not cruel, that what is of most importance to them should be least known? |
| 40770 | Is it not rather a proof of his ferocity, cruelty, and implacable vengeance? |
| 40770 | Is it possible to obey this precept? |
| 40770 | Is it so with the Bible? |
| 40770 | Is it, then by subterfuges, subtilties, and falsehoods, that we are to render service to God? |
| 40770 | Is not such conduct as ridiculous as it is unreasonable? |
| 40770 | Is not such conduct calculated to multiply our friends? |
| 40770 | Is not the forgiveness of injuries connected with this principle? |
| 40770 | Is not the pardoning of our enemies a greatness of soul, which gives us an advantage over those who offend us? |
| 40770 | Is not the use of reason forbidden, in the examination of the marvellous dogmas with which we are presented by this religion? |
| 40770 | Is not this God represented as a mass of extraordinary qualities, which form an inexplicable enigma? |
| 40770 | Is the Godhead described when it is said that it is a spirit, an immaterial being, which resembles nothing presented to us by our senses? |
| 40770 | May not reason be permitted to hope, that she shall one day re- assume the power so long usurped from her by error, illusion, and deceit? |
| 40770 | May not we, also, oppose to the miracles of Moses, and Christ, those performed by Mahomet in presence of all Mecca and Arabia assembled? |
| 40770 | May we not, however, ask them how far this renunciation of reason ought to be carried? |
| 40770 | Moreover, was not Fate, to which all the other gods of the heathens were subordinate, an only God, to whose sovereign law all nature was subject? |
| 40770 | Must it not be a great temerity and sin for a Christian to serve in war? |
| 40770 | Must not a true Christian, to whose imitation the example of the saints and heroes of the Old Testament are proposed, become ferocious and sanguinary? |
| 40770 | Now, it is said, that the death of man is the effect of the sin of Adam; and if, by baptism, sin be effaced, why is man still subject to death? |
| 40770 | On what, then, is Revelation itself founded? |
| 40770 | Ought a God to reveal himself to mankind for the sole purpose of not being comprehended? |
| 40770 | Ought he not to imagine that the surest means of pleasing his God, is to imitate his ferocity and cruelty? |
| 40770 | Ought not all these things to excite a doubt of the infallibility of the Evangelists, and the reality of their divine inspirations? |
| 40770 | Ought not they to have perceived, that this conduct was calculated only to produce hypocrites and hidden enemies, of open rebellions? |
| 40770 | These interpreters of the divine will were then men; and are not men liable to be deceived themselves, and prone to deceive others? |
| 40770 | To justify his own, will he not appeal to the perfidious cruelty of Phineas, Jabel, and Judith? |
| 40770 | Was he phlegmatic or enthusiastic, honest or knavish, ambitious or disinterested, a practiser of truths or of falsehood? |
| 40770 | Was it necessary that a God should speak, to shew that they have need of mutual aid and mutual love? |
| 40770 | Was it not religious and supernatural ideas which caused sovereigns to be looked upon as gods? |
| 40770 | Were they the only persons who perceived them? |
| 40770 | Were those witnesses disinterested? |
| 40770 | Were those witnesses very deserving men? |
| 40770 | What advantage are mankind to derive from all this? |
| 40770 | What assistance can it receive from a religion by which it is continually contradicted and degraded? |
| 40770 | What do I say? |
| 40770 | What good results to society from these practices, all of which may be observed by a man who has not the shadow of virtue? |
| 40770 | What indulgence can the Christian, who believes this fable, shew to his fellow- creature? |
| 40770 | What indulgence have mankind a right to expect from a God, who spared not even his own son? |
| 40770 | What kind of being shall we contemplate, when we add to this the ineffable attributes ascribed to him in the Christian theology? |
| 40770 | What must be thought of these divine writings, which every sect understands so differently? |
| 40770 | What must we think of a revelation which, far from teaching us any thing, is calculated to darken and puzzle the clearest ideas? |
| 40770 | What proofs does the Christian religion give us of the mission of Jesus Christ? |
| 40770 | What real good can result to society from the melancholy and ferocious virtues which Christians consider indispensible? |
| 40770 | What shall we say of the false and forged prophecies, applied to Christ in the gospel? |
| 40770 | What shall we say of the morality, which commands the human heart to detach itself from objects which reason commands it to love? |
| 40770 | What then are the proofs which are to establish the superiority of the Christian religion over all others? |
| 40770 | What was the temperament of this Moses? |
| 40770 | What, then, are the motives of the Christian, for pretending to such a belief? |
| 40770 | When we do good to our enemies does it not give us a superiority over them? |
| 40770 | When we refuse the blessings offered us by nature, do we not despise the benefactions of the One Supreme? |
| 40770 | When will nations renounce chimerical hopes, to contemplate their true interests? |
| 40770 | Wherever it reigns, do we not see the people debased, destitute of energy, and ignorant of true morality? |
| 40770 | Who does not see, in these sublime precepts, the language of enthusiasm and hyperbole? |
| 40770 | Why assign to him qualities which destroy each other? |
| 40770 | Why quarrel and cut each others throats, because they are differently interpreted by different persons? |
| 40770 | Why recount fables concerning him? |
| 40770 | Why then do they dispute incessantly concerning him? |
| 40770 | Why was he transported thither, and what did he learn by his journey? |
| 40770 | Will they never shake off the yokes of those hypocritical tyrants, who are interested only in the errors of mankind? |
| 40770 | Will they teach then to love the public good, to serve their country, to know the duties of the man and citizen? |
| 40770 | and do its revealed truths occasion no disputes among divines? |
| 40770 | and why do they demand additional lights from on high, before they can be believed or understood? |
| 40770 | the virtues of Greece and Rome, so amiable, and so heroic, were they not true virtues? |
| 40770 | who is said to be cruel enough to damn his creatures eternally? |
| 13620 | Ah, when shall I see Athens and the citadel again? |
| 13620 | And which,the disciple then asked,"of the other two could be better spared?" |
| 13620 | Are you? |
| 13620 | But what then,said I,"is the purpose of the whole institution? |
| 13620 | But,asked Arguna,"what, pray, is that state of equipoise of spirit which thou urgest?" |
| 13620 | But,said Rabbi,"why do n''t they all rise at the same time?" |
| 13620 | Did I ever tell you that I was immortal? 13620 How can one in brief express man''s whole duty?" |
| 13620 | How comes it,asked the king,"that my state Tsin has deteriorated since I became its ruler, and that calamities many and great have fallen on it?" |
| 13620 | How is it, O great creator,asks Zarathustra,"that religion is to be spread?" |
| 13620 | How many kinds of property are there? |
| 13620 | If, however,the same disciple asked,"one of them had to be dispensed with, which of the three could we best spare?" |
| 13620 | Is it then proper,asked the same,"that a man should be hated by all his neighbours?" |
| 13620 | Is not reciprocity such a word? |
| 13620 | My children,said the master once to his disciples,"Why do you not study the Book of Poetry[ the Shih King]? |
| 13620 | Tell me,replied Zarathustra,"who was it that first worshipped thee by extracting thy juice from the plant?" |
| 13620 | Then,said Rabbi,"have we amongst us such praying people?" |
| 13620 | What, then,asks the Vedantist,"is Brahman"? |
| 13620 | What,asked Arguna,"is Brahma, the supreme spirit, the supreme sacrifice?" |
| 13620 | What,asked Arguna,"is the cause of sin?" |
| 13620 | What,saith the Atheist and Sadducee,"shall all these scattered bones and dust become a man? |
| 13620 | Where, then,they ask,"is the oneness, the monism, for which the Vedantists argue?" |
| 13620 | ''Why, then,''said the fox,''do you not leave that dangerous element and try the dry land with me?'' |
| 13620 | A high officer asked Tze- kung,"May we not say that the master is a sage because he can do so many things?" |
| 13620 | A little wine stolen? |
| 13620 | Alas, fellow Christians, what should we do if our Lord should not return? |
| 13620 | And are you tired with evil men already, though you are one of those unhappy mortals yourself? |
| 13620 | And how is that? |
| 13620 | And what good hath riches, with our vaunting, brought us? |
| 13620 | And what imperfection can this imply? |
| 13620 | And what is that knowledge but a remembrance? |
| 13620 | And what, after all, is there to be afraid of in death? |
| 13620 | And who am I that I should dare to speak to you? |
| 13620 | And why shall he fear anything that happens among men? |
| 13620 | Are not reason, discrimination, law, and deliberate choice the distinguishing characters of humanity? |
| 13620 | Are they Christians or Turks-- men or demons? |
| 13620 | Are we sure that the Creator of man commissioned these things to be done? |
| 13620 | Are we sure that the books that tell us so were written by His authority? |
| 13620 | Are you ever likely to relish good nature and general kindness as you ought? |
| 13620 | Are you to be at liberty to say that a judge may conscientiously retain a bribe given him to purchase injustice, yet may we never contradict you? |
| 13620 | Arguna asked,"How fares it with the man who is not able to suppress his lower instincts and to undergo the discipline of Yogis? |
| 13620 | Art thou under the tyranny of sin, a slave to vicious habits, at enmity with God, a fugitive from thy own conscience? |
| 13620 | Asked Zarathustra,"What, O Most High, are the most effective counter- charms( mantras) against evil spirits?" |
| 13620 | At what employment would you be taken? |
| 13620 | At what employment? |
| 13620 | At what time in the evening may shemang be read? |
| 13620 | But do not all senses imply our imperfection? |
| 13620 | But how can a man who has not control of himself keep his people in subjection? |
| 13620 | But how could He make a body of clay incapable of hindrance? |
| 13620 | But what are we to think of the Christian system of faith that forms itself upon the idea of only one world? |
| 13620 | But what says Jupiter? |
| 13620 | But why nineteen? |
| 13620 | Can these be religious men and priests who speak in this way? |
| 13620 | Can you see anything better than the sun, the moon, the stars, the whole earth, the sea? |
| 13620 | Christ had enemies and detractors, and do you wish to have all friends and benefactors? |
| 13620 | Christ willed to suffer and to be despised, and shall you dare to complain of anything? |
| 13620 | Didst thou stick at leaving all, denying all, and suffering anything for this? |
| 13620 | Do all these advantages seem small to thee? |
| 13620 | Do men curse you? |
| 13620 | Do not you know that sickness and death must overtake us? |
| 13620 | Do they differ from the earth? |
| 13620 | Do virtues stand in need of a good word, or are they the worse for a bad one? |
| 13620 | Do we want to contemplate his mercy? |
| 13620 | Do we want to contemplate his munificence? |
| 13620 | Do we want to contemplate his power? |
| 13620 | Do we want to contemplate his will, so far as it respects man? |
| 13620 | Do we want to contemplate his wisdom? |
| 13620 | Do you in good earnest aim at dignity of character? |
| 13620 | Do you see those vast forests that seem as old as the world? |
| 13620 | Do you suppose I mean some god without you, of gold or silver? |
| 13620 | Do you understand it now?" |
| 13620 | Does he not know that there is a Divine eye that sees him? |
| 13620 | Dost thou object difficulties to infinite strength? |
| 13620 | Doth it pass by you? |
| 13620 | Every man naturally desires to know, but what does knowledge signify without the fear of God? |
| 13620 | For how could man find the confidence to abuse it, while they should find the Great Creator stare them in the face, in all and every part thereof? |
| 13620 | For if you do not act right, shun the action itself; and if you do, why be afraid of mistaken censure? |
| 13620 | For what do simonfacal persons demand, if not that they shall receive money in return for their benefices? |
| 13620 | For what else is a slanderous and ill- natured man than a fox, or something still more wretched and mean? |
| 13620 | For what other end have we, but to reach the kingdom of which there is no end? |
| 13620 | For whence had I these things when I came into the world? |
| 13620 | For, placed upon earth, and confined to such a body and such companions, how was it possible that we should not be hindered by things without us? |
| 13620 | From what time may the morning shemang be read? |
| 13620 | Hark you, friend, what need of all this flourish? |
| 13620 | Have I ever accused Thee or censured Thy dispensations? |
| 13620 | Have I not always approached Thee cheerfully, prepared to execute Thy commands? |
| 13620 | Have I perverted the powers, the senses, the preconceptions which Thou hast given me? |
| 13620 | Have the Daevas ever supplied good rulers? |
| 13620 | Have ye made the_ erub?_ 3. |
| 13620 | Have ye tithed the food to be eaten on the Sabbath? |
| 13620 | Have you seen a hand or a foot cut off and removed from the body? |
| 13620 | How are the conflicting statements to be reconciled? |
| 13620 | How are you to keep your springs always running, and never stagnate into a pool? |
| 13620 | How came this present world to be, and to be supported, if not through thee? |
| 13620 | How can he be both one and the other-- agent and object?" |
| 13620 | How can you go and live among them?" |
| 13620 | How is the soul to obtain final release from the thraldom of material conditions? |
| 13620 | How is this possible? |
| 13620 | How long did this intoxication last? |
| 13620 | How much industry and providence and affection we have caught from the pantomime of brutes? |
| 13620 | How much tranquillity has been reflected to man from the azure sky? |
| 13620 | How stands the law? |
| 13620 | I would be found studying this, that I may be able to say to God,"Have I transgressed Thy commands? |
| 13620 | Idea, will, imagination, feeling-- which is the seat, the proper domain of this content, of this object? |
| 13620 | If He should come and dispute His cause with thee, couldst thou bear it? |
| 13620 | If Hercules had sat loitering at home, what would he have been? |
| 13620 | If the first, what should I stay for, where Nature is a chaos and things are blindly jumbled together? |
| 13620 | If thou shouldst hear His voice, couldst thou endure? |
| 13620 | If you desire to suffer nothing contrary to you, how shall you be the friend of Christ? |
| 13620 | If, besides, you comprehend Him who administers the whole, and carry Him about in yourself, do you still long after pebbles and a fine rock? |
| 13620 | If, then, there is a supreme dominating Good to be aimed at, what are the essential characteristics it must display? |
| 13620 | Immediately the question arises, Who are we? |
| 13620 | In February, or early in March, the council of the chief priests asked clearly the question"Can Jesus and Judaism exist together?" |
| 13620 | In fine, do we want to know what God is? |
| 13620 | In other words,"How can the effect differ from its cause?" |
| 13620 | In reply to the question,"What is love?" |
| 13620 | Indeed, at what employment ought you to be taken? |
| 13620 | Indeed, he continues:''Is it not true that he who has received a blow is considered disgraced until he has slain his enemy?''" |
| 13620 | Is a little oil spilt? |
| 13620 | Is any misadventure big enough to ruffle my peace, or to make my mind mean, craving and servile? |
| 13620 | Is anything brought round to you? |
| 13620 | Is he for this, to be undone for ever?" |
| 13620 | Is it His will that I should be tortured? |
| 13620 | Is it His will that I should desire? |
| 13620 | Is it His will that I should die? |
| 13620 | Is it His will that I should have a fever? |
| 13620 | Is it His will that I should obtain anything? |
| 13620 | Is it His will that I should pursue anything? |
| 13620 | Is it Thy pleasure that I depart from this assembly? |
| 13620 | Is it Thy will that I should be in a public or a private condition, dwell here or be banished, be poor or rich? |
| 13620 | Is it not His will? |
| 13620 | Is it not the very God I look for? |
| 13620 | Is it not yet come? |
| 13620 | Is it possible that two precepts should be more contrary to one another?" |
| 13620 | Is it that everyone should be free to say whatever he may happen to think?" |
| 13620 | Is that the language of Jesus Christ? |
| 13620 | Is the agreement to take the house binding?" |
| 13620 | Is the removal of his body tantamount to the removal of a thing from its place?" |
| 13620 | Is the soul limited in size, and capable, therefore, of occupying but a restricted space? |
| 13620 | Is this giving everyone his due? |
| 13620 | Is this soul an agent? |
| 13620 | Is your child dead? |
| 13620 | Is your estate taken away from you? |
| 13620 | Is your wife dead? |
| 13620 | It may be again asked:"How can a being with perfect life produce a world that is lifeless?" |
| 13620 | It was a common saying during the Hsia dynasty,''If the Emperor visiteth not, what will become of us?'' |
| 13620 | May he take it out before it is spoiled?" |
| 13620 | Methinks I hear the Almighty''s voice saying to me, as to Job,"Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?" |
| 13620 | Must we call in Scripture and tradition to prove that cutting down one''s enemy from behind, and in an ambush is a treacherous murder? |
| 13620 | O ye crowds of men, when will ye call evil, evil, and good, good, instead of the contrary? |
| 13620 | Oh, how oft hath this been mine own case-- and is not rest yet seasonable? |
| 13620 | On hearing this the master said,"Does the officer know me? |
| 13620 | Or compelled against my will? |
| 13620 | Or is it, on the contrary, omnipresent? |
| 13620 | Or that giving a present of money to secure an ecclesiastical benefice is to purchase it? |
| 13620 | Seest thou not how much he eateth and drinketh every day? |
| 13620 | Shall I speak before I know? |
| 13620 | Shall it rise again?" |
| 13620 | Shall not a man act like a man? |
| 13620 | Some one passing by asked him"Fearest thou not the Roman government?" |
| 13620 | THE RELATION OF BRAHMAN TO ELEMENTS AND THE SOUL Are the elementary substances( ether, air, etc) co- eternal, with Brahman, or do they issue from him? |
| 13620 | Tell me, he said, under what tree didst thou take them companying together? |
| 13620 | The divine one asked Asha"Hast thou appointed a guardian over this people to defend them from evil?" |
| 13620 | The king said unto him: Why dost thou not worship Bel? |
| 13620 | The master asked,"Is that customary?" |
| 13620 | The master asked,"What dost thou mean by being eminent?" |
| 13620 | The master being once asked"Who is the virtuous man?" |
| 13620 | The master, on being once asked by one of his disciples"On what does the art of government depend?" |
| 13620 | The philosopher replied,"Why does your majesty use the word profit? |
| 13620 | The poet said,"Dear City of Cecrops"; shall we not say,"Dear City of God"? |
| 13620 | The vital question was, how were we to keep the Church from being liberalised? |
| 13620 | The wicked wonder at the godly, and say: What hath pride profited us? |
| 13620 | The young man said to the Angel: To what use are these? |
| 13620 | Then the king said: Thinkest thou not that Bel is a living god? |
| 13620 | This is a surprising and very unjust reproach; for where is a passage to be found in which I have treated holy things with raillery? |
| 13620 | This is quite feasible; for who can hinder you from being just and sincere? |
| 13620 | Thou fool-- for so Paul calls thee-- dost thou dispute against the power of the Almighty? |
| 13620 | Through what stages did the ideas of Jesus progress during this obscure early period of his life? |
| 13620 | To the first he said: If thou hast seen her, under what tree sawest thou them companying together? |
| 13620 | To what, then, may we trust? |
| 13620 | Tze- chang asked the master,"When may a scholar or an officer be called eminent?" |
| 13620 | Tze- kung asked,"Is it proper that a man should be liked by all his neighbours?" |
| 13620 | Unworthy soul, is this the place thou camest so unwillingly towards? |
| 13620 | Up to when may the morning shemang be read? |
| 13620 | Upon this pleasing hope I cry out:"Who is like Thee, O Lord? |
| 13620 | WHAT IS SOUL? |
| 13620 | Was I then designed for nothing but to doze beneath the counterpane?" |
| 13620 | Was duty wearisome? |
| 13620 | Was it because they would not? |
| 13620 | Was the Copernican doctrine ever formally condemned as contrary to the Scriptures? |
| 13620 | Was the world too good to lose? |
| 13620 | Wast thou loth to die to come to this? |
| 13620 | Well, and is not that likewise restored? |
| 13620 | What but the being a shining character in himself, and setting a good example to others? |
| 13620 | What do I behold in all nature? |
| 13620 | What does that braggart man mean when he says,"None shall prevail over me; I have and have scattered riches boundless"? |
| 13620 | What does the expression"everyone"include? |
| 13620 | What does this mean? |
| 13620 | What does this mean? |
| 13620 | What does this mean? |
| 13620 | What good, then, did Priscus do, who was but a single person? |
| 13620 | What happens to the knowing one(_ vidvan_) at death? |
| 13620 | What has the devil done for you? |
| 13620 | What have been the wages of sin? |
| 13620 | What in that blessed life will He lavish upon those for whom He gave His Son to death? |
| 13620 | What is a farm but a mute gospel? |
| 13620 | What is it to ascend the upward road? |
| 13620 | What is it to you by whose hands He who gave it hath demanded it again? |
| 13620 | What is meant by a child? |
| 13620 | What is meant by the Book of Yashar? |
| 13620 | What is soul? |
| 13620 | What is there that can justify such disorders? |
| 13620 | What is this? |
| 13620 | What is this? |
| 13620 | What is to become of the body of that first man? |
| 13620 | What matter though you have lived in it fewer years or more? |
| 13620 | What means this? |
| 13620 | What more welcome news to men under public calamities, unpleasing employment, plundering losses, sad tidings, than this of rest? |
| 13620 | What more welcome to men under personal afflictions, tiring duty, successions of sufferings, than rest? |
| 13620 | What must we infer from thence? |
| 13620 | What shall be said to this heart- piercing, reason- bewildering fact? |
| 13620 | What shall those rewards, then, be? |
| 13620 | What should that minister do?" |
| 13620 | What then is to be done? |
| 13620 | What then should be done?" |
| 13620 | What will God give them whom He has predestined to life, having given such great things to those whom He has predestined to death? |
| 13620 | What, however, constitutes one''s own premises? |
| 13620 | What, then, does the character of a citizen promise? |
| 13620 | What, then, is there to cause anxiety or fear?" |
| 13620 | What? |
| 13620 | When shall I become acquainted with thine own pure mind, and know what is truly good? |
| 13620 | When shall I realise thee in my own soul, and have fellowship with thee without the mediation of man or angels? |
| 13620 | When the master heard this, he said to his disciples,"What shall I undertake: charioteering, archery, or what? |
| 13620 | When the queen arrived, she was asked,"What throne is this?" |
| 13620 | When we have passed a long and tedious journey, and that through no small dangers, is not home then seasonable? |
| 13620 | When will that time be, O Lord? |
| 13620 | Whence had idols their origin, but from the will of man? |
| 13620 | Whence shall your patience be crowned if you have suffered no adversity? |
| 13620 | Where are they all now? |
| 13620 | Where are we taught that the Shechinah rests upon_ one_ who studies the law? |
| 13620 | Where is that perfect reason which is so near me, and yet so different from me? |
| 13620 | Where is that supreme reason? |
| 13620 | Where is the hardship, then, if Nature, that planted you here, orders your removal? |
| 13620 | Where, then, is the justice of the man who deserts the true God and gives himself over to unclean demons? |
| 13620 | Wherewith may one light the Sabbath lamp? |
| 13620 | Which of these two languages do you understand? |
| 13620 | Who can guess how much firmness the sea- beaten rock has taught the fisherman? |
| 13620 | Who can say, or even imagine, what degrees of glory shall there be given to the degrees of merit? |
| 13620 | Who does not see that this is due to the name of Christ and to a Christian age? |
| 13620 | Who is able to do it? |
| 13620 | Who is it that hung and poised this motionless globe of the earth? |
| 13620 | Who laid its foundation? |
| 13620 | Who made the sun and moon and stars, and the waters and the winds and the trees, who, if not thou? |
| 13620 | Who serves and obeys Me in everything with so great care as the world and its lords are served? |
| 13620 | Who would ever dream of comparing things which are so disproportionate and of such different kinds? |
| 13620 | Why are wicks made of the above materials prohibited? |
| 13620 | Why do not you consider whence you came? |
| 13620 | Why have the Daevas- worshippers perverted the truth and gone astray from the right path? |
| 13620 | Why is this so? |
| 13620 | Why not a son of God? |
| 13620 | Why should I have refused such needed help? |
| 13620 | Why should I refuse such gifts when needed? |
| 13620 | Why should I take such money?" |
| 13620 | Why should not we also have an original relation to the universe? |
| 13620 | Why should we grope among the dry bones of the past, or put the living generation into masquerade out of its faded wardrobe? |
| 13620 | Why should you wait a year?" |
| 13620 | Why then the words"when thou liest down and when thou risest up?" |
| 13620 | Why this inconsistency? |
| 13620 | Why were we made to be exposed to the attacks of suffering and of sin? |
| 13620 | Why worship ye goddesses like Allat and Al''Uzza and Manah? |
| 13620 | Why, what good does the purple do to the garment? |
| 13620 | Will you not be elated on knowing yourself to be the son of Jupiter, of God Himself? |
| 13620 | Wilt thou pose him with thy sophistry? |
| 13620 | Would anyone give ever so little weight to these statements, in forming an estimate of the veracity of the writers? |
| 13620 | Wretch, are not you contented with what you see every day? |
| 13620 | _ BOOK VII_ What is wickedness? |
| 13620 | _ BOOK X_ O my soul, are you ever to be rightly good, sincere, and uniform, and made more visible to yourself than the body that hangs about you? |
| 13620 | _ G._ What means the Hebrew word_ or_? |
| 13620 | _ I.--TO WHAT END IS NATURE?_ Our age is retrospective. |
| 13620 | _ III.--"HIS WILL IS MY WILL"_ Have I ever been restrained from what I willed? |
| 13620 | _ THE KORAN CONSISTENT THROUGHOUT_ Why do they not carefully and impartially consider the Koran? |
| 13620 | _ THE QIBLAH CHANGED FROM JERUSALEM TO MEKKA_ Foolish men will say,"Why have they changed the Qiblah[27] from Jerusalem to the Kaabah[28] in Mekka?" |
| 13620 | _ VI.--IS NATURE REAL?_ A noble doubt suggests itself whether discipline be not the final cause of the universe, and whether Nature outwardly exists. |
| 13620 | what is this to the mighty ocean of space and the almighty power of the Creator? |
| 35377 | And can I assist your Majesty in obtaining it? |
| 35377 | And can not you rest the sky upon a mountain? |
| 35377 | And do you know,asked the damsel who had first spoken,"that a terrible dragon, with a hundred heads, keeps watch under the golden apple- tree?" |
| 35377 | And have you never seen him, my fair maiden? |
| 35377 | And how big was the box? |
| 35377 | And how broad, I wonder, were the shoulders of Hercules? |
| 35377 | And how dare you make this disturbance, while I am sacrificing a black bull to my father Neptune? |
| 35377 | And how happens that? 35377 And how long a time,"asked the hero,"will it take you to get the golden apples?" |
| 35377 | And how soon shall I be strong enough? |
| 35377 | And is he a live giant, or a brazen image? |
| 35377 | And pray what would satisfy you? |
| 35377 | And was she not his sister? |
| 35377 | And what do you want in my dominions? |
| 35377 | And what has become of the pitcher now? |
| 35377 | And what in the world can be inside of it? |
| 35377 | And what is there in this magnificent golden rose to make you cry? |
| 35377 | And what of it? |
| 35377 | And what say you, venerable sir? |
| 35377 | And what would become of Ben and Bruin? |
| 35377 | And where did it come from? |
| 35377 | And why not? |
| 35377 | And will you carry me back when I have seen it? |
| 35377 | And will you never regret the possession of it? |
| 35377 | And will you stay with us,asked Epimetheus,"forever and ever?" |
| 35377 | And would Tanglewood turn to smoke, as well as we? |
| 35377 | And, besides, what would my dear mother do, if her beloved son were turned into a stone? |
| 35377 | And, pray, who may the Old One be? |
| 35377 | Are they as good as the first? |
| 35377 | Are you awake, Prince Theseus? |
| 35377 | Are you sure, beautiful Medea,asked Jason,"quite sure, that the unguent in the gold box will prove a remedy against those terrible burns?" |
| 35377 | But can I do nothing to help them? |
| 35377 | But how shall I ever find him? |
| 35377 | But is not this enough? 35377 But what must I do,"asked Perseus,"when we meet them?" |
| 35377 | But where can the monster be? |
| 35377 | But who gave it to you? |
| 35377 | But, can you show me the way to the garden of the Hesperides? |
| 35377 | But,said Perseus,"why should I waste my time with these Three Gray Women? |
| 35377 | Ca n''t I see into a thick bush as easily as yourself? 35377 Can you believe,"asked Eustace,"that there was once a winged horse?" |
| 35377 | Can you tell me, pretty maidens,asked the stranger,"whether this is the right way to the garden of the Hesperides?" |
| 35377 | Cousin Eustace,said Sweet Fern,"did the box hold all the trouble that has ever come into the world?" |
| 35377 | Did there really come any words out of the hole? |
| 35377 | Did you ever hear the like? |
| 35377 | Did you see that flash of light? |
| 35377 | Do n''t you think that I succeeded pretty well in catching that wonderful pony? |
| 35377 | Do not you see you are lost, without me as your good angel? 35377 Do you call that a wonderful exploit?" |
| 35377 | Do you not believe,said he, looking at the damsels with a smile,"that such a blow would have crushed one of the dragon''s hundred heads?" |
| 35377 | Do you not know that this island is enchanted? 35377 Do you see it?" |
| 35377 | Do you see? 35377 Do you, indeed, my dear child?" |
| 35377 | Does it presume to be green, when I have bidden it be barren, until my daughter shall be restored to my arms? |
| 35377 | Does the earth disobey me? |
| 35377 | Does your Majesty see his confusion? |
| 35377 | Dost thou bleed, my immortal horse? |
| 35377 | Foolish woman,answered Ceres,"did you not promise to intrust this poor infant entirely to me? |
| 35377 | Have they undergone a similar change, through the arts of this wicked Circe? |
| 35377 | Have we not an author for our next neighbor? |
| 35377 | Have you anything to tell me, little bird? |
| 35377 | Have you brought me the head of Medusa with the snaky locks? 35377 Have you come so far to seek it,"exclaimed Medea,"and do you not recognize the meed of all your toils and perils, when it glitters before your eyes? |
| 35377 | Have you forgotten what guards it? |
| 35377 | Have you performed your promise? |
| 35377 | How could it fail? |
| 35377 | How will you prevent me,asked Hercules,"from going whither I please?" |
| 35377 | How, then, can I tell you what is inside? |
| 35377 | Is it a wholesome wine? |
| 35377 | Is it much farther? |
| 35377 | Is it not a very pleasant stream? |
| 35377 | Is the sky very heavy? |
| 35377 | Is there something alive in the box? 35377 Just take the sky upon your head one instant, will you? |
| 35377 | Must we wait long for harvest- time? |
| 35377 | My child,said she,"did you taste any food while you were in King Pluto''s palace?" |
| 35377 | My dear Epimetheus,cried Pandora,"have you heard this little voice?" |
| 35377 | My pretty bird,said Eurylochus,--for he was a wary person, and let no token of harm escape his notice,--"my pretty bird, who sent you hither? |
| 35377 | O Primrose and Periwinkle, do you hear what he says? |
| 35377 | O brindled cow,cried he, in a tone of despair,"do you never mean to stop?" |
| 35377 | O daughter of the Talking Oak,cried he,"how shall we set to work to get our vessel into the water?" |
| 35377 | O my dear son,cried King Ægeus,"why should you expose yourself to this horrible fate? |
| 35377 | Oh, my sweet violets, shall I never see you again? |
| 35377 | Oh, what shall we do, sisters? 35377 Oh, where is my dear child?" |
| 35377 | On what errand? |
| 35377 | Pandora, what are you thinking of? |
| 35377 | Perseus,said the voice,"why are you sad?" |
| 35377 | Pray what is the matter with you, this bright morning? |
| 35377 | Pray, my good host, whence did you gather them? |
| 35377 | Pray, my young friend,said he, as they grew familiar together,"what may I call your name?" |
| 35377 | Pray, nurse,the queen kept saying,"how is it that you make the child thrive so?" |
| 35377 | Pray, what do you want with me? |
| 35377 | Pray, who are you, beautiful creature? |
| 35377 | Quicksilver? 35377 Sacred oracle of Delphi,"said he,"whither shall I go next in quest of my dear sister Europa?" |
| 35377 | See if you can lift this rock on which we are sitting? |
| 35377 | Shall I lift the lid again? |
| 35377 | Shall we not meet her soon? |
| 35377 | So you have got the golden apples? |
| 35377 | Tell me,cried he, before the Old One was well awake,"which is the way to the garden of the Hesperides?" |
| 35377 | That little bird, which met me at the edge of the cliff,exclaimed Ulysses;"was he a human being once?" |
| 35377 | The Golden Touch,asked the stranger,"or your own little Marygold, warm, soft, and loving as she was an hour ago?" |
| 35377 | The Golden Touch,continued the stranger,"or a crust of bread?" |
| 35377 | Then you are not satisfied? |
| 35377 | Was it the girdle of Venus,inquired the prettiest of the damsels,"which makes women beautiful?" |
| 35377 | Well, and what of that? |
| 35377 | Well, but, dear mother,asked the boy,"why can not I go to this famous city of Athens, and tell King Ægeus that I am his son?" |
| 35377 | Well, friend Midas,said the stranger,"pray how do you succeed with the Golden Touch?" |
| 35377 | What can it be? |
| 35377 | What can that be? |
| 35377 | What could induce me? |
| 35377 | What do you want there? |
| 35377 | What does this mean? |
| 35377 | What hast thou to do with an affair like this? 35377 What in the world do you want here? |
| 35377 | What in the world, my little fellow,ejaculated Hercules,"may you be?" |
| 35377 | What is it? |
| 35377 | What is the matter, Jason? |
| 35377 | What is the matter, father? |
| 35377 | What is there to gratify her heart? 35377 What is this wonder?" |
| 35377 | What kind of a monster may that be? 35377 What mean you, little bird?" |
| 35377 | What says King Æetes, my royal and upright father? |
| 35377 | What shall I do,said he,"in order to win the Golden Fleece?" |
| 35377 | What shall I do? |
| 35377 | What sort of a staff had he? |
| 35377 | What will Epimetheus say? 35377 What''s all this?" |
| 35377 | What''s your name? 35377 What, then, shall I do?" |
| 35377 | What,said Hecate,"the young man that always sits in the sunshine? |
| 35377 | Whence can the box have come? |
| 35377 | Whence come you, strangers? |
| 35377 | Where are you, Perseus? |
| 35377 | Where are your two- and- twenty comrades? |
| 35377 | Where is Proserpina? |
| 35377 | Where is my child? 35377 Where is she?" |
| 35377 | Where was the sound, and which way did it seem to go? |
| 35377 | Where? |
| 35377 | Which shall I strike at? |
| 35377 | Whither are you going in such a hurry, wise Ulysses? |
| 35377 | Whither are you going, Jason? |
| 35377 | Who are you, I say? |
| 35377 | Who are you, down at my feet there? 35377 Who are you, inside of this naughty box?" |
| 35377 | Who are you? |
| 35377 | Who are you? |
| 35377 | Who are you? |
| 35377 | Whose garment is this,inquired Perseus,"that keeps rustling close beside me in the breeze?" |
| 35377 | Why do you come alone? |
| 35377 | Why do you squeeze me so hard? 35377 Why should you be so frightened, my pretty child?" |
| 35377 | Will he give you the Golden Fleece, without any further risk or trouble? |
| 35377 | Will not you stay a moment,asked Phoebus,"and hear me turn the pretty and touching story of Proserpina into extemporary verses?" |
| 35377 | Will the dog bite me? |
| 35377 | Will you be kind enough to tell me whether the fountain has any name? |
| 35377 | Will you trust the child entirely to me? |
| 35377 | Wretch,cried Circe, giving him a smart stroke with her wand,"how dare you keep your human shape a moment longer? |
| 35377 | You silly children, what do you want of more snow? |
| 35377 | Young man,asked he, with his stern voice,"are you not appalled at the certainty of being devoured by this terrible Minotaur?" |
| 35377 | Your sister? |
| 35377 | Alas, what had he done? |
| 35377 | And almost the first question which she put to him, after crossing the threshold, was this,--"Epimetheus, what have you in that box?" |
| 35377 | And do n''t you see how careful we are to let the surf wave break over us every moment or two, so as to keep ourselves comfortably moist? |
| 35377 | And how can I possibly tie it up again?" |
| 35377 | And how long was his little finger?" |
| 35377 | And now, my little auditors, shall I tell you something that will make you open your eyes very wide? |
| 35377 | And pray, adventurous traveller, what do you want there?" |
| 35377 | And this, then, is Pirene? |
| 35377 | And was Cousin Eustace with the party? |
| 35377 | And what could that favor be, unless to multiply his heaps of treasure? |
| 35377 | And what do you think the snowy bull did next? |
| 35377 | And what else did Bellerophon behold there? |
| 35377 | And what is the message which you bring?" |
| 35377 | And what was to be done? |
| 35377 | And whence could this bull have come? |
| 35377 | And whence do you come, in that little cup?" |
| 35377 | And who are you?" |
| 35377 | And your companion there? |
| 35377 | And, as your next effort, what if you should try your hand on some one of the legends of Apollo?" |
| 35377 | And, indeed, why not? |
| 35377 | And, on that island, what do you think he saw? |
| 35377 | And, truly, my dear little folks, did you ever hear of such a pitiable case in all your lives? |
| 35377 | Are not these gems, which I have ordered to be dug for you, and which are richer than any in my crown,--are they not prettier than a violet?" |
| 35377 | Are there no better walkers than yourself in the island of Seriphus?" |
| 35377 | Are you an enchantress?" |
| 35377 | Are you not terribly hungry? |
| 35377 | But are you quite sure that this will satisfy you?" |
| 35377 | But how can you help me to do the things of which you speak? |
| 35377 | But was it really and truly an old man? |
| 35377 | But, a little farther on, what should she behold? |
| 35377 | But, by the by, have you added any more legends to the series, since the publication of the Wonder Book?" |
| 35377 | But, in the first place, do any of you know what a Gorgon is?" |
| 35377 | But, pray, have you lost a horse? |
| 35377 | But, to test how much you have profited under so excellent a teacher, will you allow me to ask you a single question?" |
| 35377 | Can not I carry the golden apples to the king, your cousin, much quicker than you could? |
| 35377 | Can you guess who I am? |
| 35377 | Can you tell me what has become of my dear child Proserpina?" |
| 35377 | Could he drag the plough so well, think you? |
| 35377 | Could you help smiling, Prince Jason, to see the self- conceit of that last fellow, just as he tumbled down?" |
| 35377 | Dear Bellerophon, do you not see that it is no bird? |
| 35377 | Did the roots extend down into some enchanted cavern? |
| 35377 | Do n''t you pity me, Primrose?" |
| 35377 | Do n''t you see me?" |
| 35377 | Do n''t you think her the exact picture of yourself? |
| 35377 | Do you imagine that earthly children are to become immortal without being tempered to it in the fiercest heat of the fire? |
| 35377 | Do you know whether the winged horse Pegasus still haunts the Fountain of Pirene, as he used to do in your forefathers''days?" |
| 35377 | Do you perceive no nice workmanship in that? |
| 35377 | Do you see that tall gateway before us? |
| 35377 | Do you see this splendid crown upon my head? |
| 35377 | Do you think that you should be less curious than Pandora? |
| 35377 | Do you think you could tell us another as good?" |
| 35377 | Do you, then, love this king, your cousin, so very much?" |
| 35377 | Dost thou not tremble, wicked king, to turn thine eyes inward on thine own heart? |
| 35377 | Has he as strange a one?" |
| 35377 | Have I not faithfully kept my promise with you? |
| 35377 | Have you burnt your mouth?" |
| 35377 | Have you never made the sunshine dance into dark corners, by reflecting it from a bit of looking- glass? |
| 35377 | Have you not everything that your heart desired?" |
| 35377 | How are you, my good fellow?" |
| 35377 | How could a helmet make him invisible, unless it were big enough for him to hide under it? |
| 35377 | How many days, think you, would he survive a continuance of this rich fare? |
| 35377 | How shall I make him believe that I have not looked into the box?" |
| 35377 | How was the blessed sunshine to be thrown into them? |
| 35377 | How were they to be purified? |
| 35377 | If I should lose you, too, as well as my little Europa, what would become of me?" |
| 35377 | If any such misfortune were to happen, how could he ever get rid of the sky? |
| 35377 | If you were left alone with the box, might you not feel a little tempted to lift the lid? |
| 35377 | In those days, spectacles for common people had not been invented, but were already worn by kings; else, how could Midas have had any? |
| 35377 | Instead of his ordinary milk diet, did he not eat up two of our comrades for his supper, and a couple more for breakfast, and two at his supper again? |
| 35377 | Is it because I too am a king, that you desire so earnestly to speak with me? |
| 35377 | Is it not possible, at the risk of one''s life, to slay him?" |
| 35377 | Is there nothing which I can get you to eat?" |
| 35377 | May I not run down to the shore, and ask some of the sea- nymphs to come up out of the waves and play with me?" |
| 35377 | Now, who do you imagine these two voyagers turned out to be? |
| 35377 | Of that you may be certain; else how could the book go on a step further? |
| 35377 | Of what use would wings be to a horse? |
| 35377 | Oh, what a good time was that to be alive in? |
| 35377 | On which side of us does it lie? |
| 35377 | Or could it be the beating of her heart? |
| 35377 | Or is he afraid of wetting his fine golden- stringed sandals? |
| 35377 | Or was it merely the singing in Pandora''s ears? |
| 35377 | Pray, how big may your soul be?" |
| 35377 | Pray, what may I call your name? |
| 35377 | Pray, what would you advise me to do with him?" |
| 35377 | Pray, why do you live in such a bad neighborhood?" |
| 35377 | Proserpina, did you call her name?" |
| 35377 | Quicksilver?" |
| 35377 | Shall I never hear them again? |
| 35377 | So you have made a discovery, since yesterday?" |
| 35377 | THE MIRACULOUS PITCHER The Hill- Side_ Introductory to"The Miraculous Pitcher"_ And when, and where, do you think we find the children next? |
| 35377 | Tanglewood Play- Room_ After the Story_"Primrose,"asked Eustace, pinching her ear,"how do you like my little Pandora? |
| 35377 | Tanglewood Porch_ After the Story_"Was not that a very fine story?" |
| 35377 | Tell me, for pity''s sake, have you seen my poor child Proserpina pass by the mouth of your cavern?" |
| 35377 | Tell me, now, do you sincerely desire to rid yourself of this Golden Touch?" |
| 35377 | Tell me, you naughty sea- nymphs, have you enticed her under the sea?" |
| 35377 | The Hill- Side_ After the Story_"How much did the pitcher hold?" |
| 35377 | The Three Golden Apples Did you ever hear of the golden apples, that grew in the garden of the Hesperides? |
| 35377 | The ancient poets remodelled them at pleasure, and held them plastic in their hands; and why should they not be plastic in my hands as well?" |
| 35377 | The gentle and innocent creature( for who could possibly doubt that he was so?) |
| 35377 | This showed some intelligence in the oak; else how should it have known that any such person existed? |
| 35377 | Was Theseus afraid? |
| 35377 | Were we to drown the world with them, could the world blame us? |
| 35377 | What are all the splendors you speak of, without affection? |
| 35377 | What are kings made for, save to succor the feeble and distressed? |
| 35377 | What can I do with him?" |
| 35377 | What can have been the matter with them?" |
| 35377 | What can we do to drive them away?" |
| 35377 | What could it be, indeed? |
| 35377 | What do you think has happened? |
| 35377 | What do you think of this, my brave Jason?" |
| 35377 | What does he mean to do? |
| 35377 | What harm can the lady of the palace and her maidens do to mariners and warriors like us?" |
| 35377 | What harm can there be in opening the box? |
| 35377 | What if you should take my burden on your shoulders, while I do your errand for you?" |
| 35377 | What in the world could we do without her? |
| 35377 | What mortal, even if he possessed a hundred lives, could hope to escape the fangs of such a monster? |
| 35377 | What say you, Sweet Fern, Dandelion, Clover, Periwinkle? |
| 35377 | What should it be but the most magnificent palace that had ever been seen in the world? |
| 35377 | What sort of a contrivance may that be, I wonder? |
| 35377 | What will the king say to the one- sandalled man?" |
| 35377 | Whence has he come? |
| 35377 | Where are you all? |
| 35377 | Which of the three is Medusa?" |
| 35377 | Which of these two things do you think is really worth the most,--the gift of the Golden Touch, or one cup of clear cold water?" |
| 35377 | Why did not I think of him before? |
| 35377 | Why do you come hither? |
| 35377 | Why, friend, are you in your senses? |
| 35377 | Why, what could have become of the child? |
| 35377 | Will not you like to ride a little way with me, in my beautiful chariot?" |
| 35377 | Will you go with me, Phoebus, to demand my daughter of this wicked Pluto?" |
| 35377 | Would any of you, after hearing this story, be so foolish as to desire the faculty of changing things to gold?" |
| 35377 | Would he be less so by dinner- time? |
| 35377 | Would it not be better to set out at once in search of the terrible Gorgons?" |
| 35377 | Yet, what other loaf could it possibly be? |
| 35377 | You have been gathering flowers? |
| 35377 | Your mother, beholding you safe and sound, will shed tears of joy; and what can she do more, should you win ever so great a victory? |
| 35377 | and where did you receive your education?" |
| 35377 | asked Theseus,"if the labyrinth so bewilders me as you say it will?" |
| 35377 | cried Perseus, to whom this seemed only a new difficulty in the path of his adventure;"pray who may the Three Gray Women be? |
| 35377 | cried little Marygold, who was a very affectionate child,"pray what is the matter? |
| 35377 | cried the student,"do you think I was there, to measure him with a yard- stick? |
| 35377 | cried these kind- hearted old people,"what has become of our poor neighbors?" |
| 35377 | do you smell the feast? |
| 35377 | do you think me so?" |
| 35377 | he cried;"how came you by it?" |
| 35377 | if the fathers and mothers were so small, what must the children and babies have been? |
| 35377 | must you go so soon?" |
| 35377 | nor taste those nice little savory dishes which my dearest wife knew how to serve up?" |
| 35377 | shouted Hercules, very wrathfully,"do you intend to make me bear this burden forever?" |
| 35377 | sisters, what Nymphs does he mean?" |
| 35377 | thought Cadmus;"or have I been dreaming all this while?" |
| 35377 | was there ever such a gentle, sweet, pretty, and amiable creature as this bull, and ever such a nice playmate for a little girl? |
| 35377 | what is the young man talking about?" |
| 35377 | what shall we do? |
| 35377 | why did n''t we go without our supper?" |
| 35377 | why have you opened this wicked box?" |
| 46063 | Am I now free? |
| 46063 | Art thou Siegmund? |
| 46063 | But at the cost of love? |
| 46063 | But should suspense permit the foe to cry,''Behold they tremble!--haughty their array, Yet of their number no one dares to die''? 46063 But who will guide us?" |
| 46063 | But,she added,"thou hast not death''s hue on thee; why then ridest thou here on the way to Hel?" |
| 46063 | Dost thou come at last,said he,"long expected, and do I behold thee after such perils past? |
| 46063 | Hapless youth,he said,"what can I do for thee worthy of thy praise? |
| 46063 | Know ye the weight of my hammer''s blow? |
| 46063 | Knowest thou what''tis to me? 46063 Milk the ewe that thou hast; why pursue the thing that shuns thee? |
| 46063 | O, Pyramus,she cried,"what has done this? |
| 46063 | Oh, Cyclops, Cyclops, whither are thy wits wandering? 46063 The Ring?" |
| 46063 | The world''s wealth,he mutters;"might I win that by the spell of the gold? |
| 46063 | Then takest thou from Siegmund thy shield? |
| 46063 | Thy name and fortune? |
| 46063 | What is it, ye sleek ones, That there doth gleam and glow? 46063 What meaneth the name, then?" |
| 46063 | What new trial hast thou to propose? |
| 46063 | What seek ye here? |
| 46063 | What woman warneth me thus? |
| 46063 | What''s he whose arms lie scattered on the plain? 46063 What, then, aileth the immortals?" |
| 46063 | What,exclaimed the woman,"have all things sworn to spare Balder?" |
| 46063 | Who pursues thee? |
| 46063 | Who was it,she asks,"that brought him his conquering sword? |
| 46063 | Why do you refuse me water? |
| 46063 | [ 374] Has he never heard of the Rhine- gold? 46063 ''Comfort my heart, mayhap, with the loyal love of my husband?'' 46063 ''Haste to the Gnossian hills?'' 46063 ),_ 34, 83_; The Cuckow and Nightingale, or Boke of Cupid(? 46063 ),_ 38_( 1); The Romaunt of the Rose(? 46063 ***** Lovely world, where art thou? 46063 ***** Oh, whence has silence stolen on all things here, Where every sight makes music to the eye? 46063 =_ Poems._= Chaucer, The Cuckow and Nightingale, or Boke of Cupid(? 46063 A voice followed her,Why flyest thou, Arethusa? |

| 46063 | within the heart of this great flight, Whose ivory arms hold up the golden lyre? |
| 46063 | Æneas, wondering at the sight, asked the Sibyl,"Why this discrimination?" |
| 7297 | ''"May I, freeing myself from all pain, enter on free possession of endless delight?" |
| 7297 | ''For who could breathe, who could breathe forth, if that bliss existed not in the ether? |
| 7297 | ''How can creative energy be attributed to Brahman, devoid of qualities, pure,& c.?'' |
| 7297 | ''That is the immortal, the fearless, this is Brahman''( VIII, 7, 3?). |
| 7297 | ''What was the wood, what the tree from which they have shaped heaven and earth? |
| 7297 | ''What will happen to us if we transgress his commandments?'' |
| 7297 | ''Why so?'' |
| 7297 | ''how can you speak of Jânasruti, being what he is, as if he were Raikva, who knows Brahman and is endowed with the most eminent qualities? |
| 7297 | ''what is the substrate of the erroneous imagination of a world?'' |
| 7297 | --''And what does this imply?'' |
| 7297 | --''Why so?'' |
| 7297 | --Is then the apûrva a pleasure? |
| 7297 | --Is then, we ask, this primary motion of the atoms caused by an adrishta residing in them, or by an adrishta residing in the souls? |
| 7297 | Among the questions belonging to the first category, the question''whence proceed animate and inanimate things?'' |
| 7297 | And how can one subject cognise what has been apprehended through the senses of another? |
| 7297 | And in reply to the question''What is that Self?'' |
| 7297 | And moreover another text also--''Who could breathe if that bliss existed not in the ether?'' |
| 7297 | And who were those Rishis? |
| 7297 | Brahman was born as the first of all beings; who may rival that Brahman?'' |
| 7297 | But how can it be maintained at all that Scripture does not set forth a certain view because thereby it would enter into conflict with Smriti? |
| 7297 | But how can the subtle body persist, when the works which originate it have passed away? |
| 7297 | But how then is the plural form''the Rishis are the prânas''to be accounted for? |
| 7297 | But what about the distinction of souls implied therein? |
| 7297 | But what then is the entity referred to in the text''tato yad uttarataram''? |
| 7297 | But, do you then, we ask in reply, admit that any change is real? |
| 7297 | But, if the Self is mere light, where is the being by which light is to be apprehended as agreeable to its own nature? |
| 7297 | Bâlâki at first offers to teach Brahman(''Shall I tell you Brahman?'') |
| 7297 | Compare''For who could breathe, who could breathe forth, if that ether were not bliss?'' |
| 7297 | Do they also lead the soul along their stages? |
| 7297 | Do you hold that everything is being or non- being, or anything else? |
| 7297 | Do you mean to say that the difference lies in one aspect of the thing and the non- difference in the other? |
| 7297 | Does consciousness become a reflection of the ahamkâra, or does the ahamkâra become a reflection of consciousness? |
| 7297 | Does it mean that they can not be counted? |
| 7297 | Does it not mean that the judgment''This is a jar''implies the negation of pieces of cloth and other things? |
| 7297 | Does that nearness mean merely the existence of Prakriti or some change in Prakriti? |
| 7297 | Does the Lord produce his effects, with his body or apart from his body? |
| 7297 | Does the aggregate of Goodness, Passion, and Darkness constitute the Pradhâna? |
| 7297 | Does the mere gold,& c., by itself originate the svastika- ornament? |
| 7297 | Does this nature then exist previously( to the cessation of indistinctness), or not? |
| 7297 | For as there is equal authority for both sides, why should the contrary view not be held? |
| 7297 | For if there were nothing but essential unity of being, what reason would there be for the employment of several words? |
| 7297 | For in the early part of that Upanishad, we have after the introductory question,''Is Brahman the cause?'' |
| 7297 | For the question is,''Do you know why in the fifth libation water is called man?'' |
| 7297 | For there the view of the absolute non- being of the effect is objected to,''But how could it be thus?'' |
| 7297 | For, he argues, on the introductory question,''He who here among men should meditate until death on the syllable Om, what would he obtain by it?'' |
| 7297 | For, in answer to the question''Do you know why that world never becomes full?'' |
| 7297 | For, we ask, has the former knowledge the same object as the latter, or a different one? |
| 7297 | Have we, perhaps, to understand by it the invariable concomitance of existence and shining forth? |
| 7297 | Have you then, we ask, ever observed this so as to be able to assert an absolute rule? |
| 7297 | He then concludes,''Whereby should he know the Knower? |
| 7297 | He then proceeds,''He by whom he knows all this, by what means should he know Him?'' |
| 7297 | He thought, shall I send forth worlds? |
| 7297 | Here they say, what was that? |
| 7297 | How is this possible? |
| 7297 | How then should consciousness and( the conscious subject) be one? |
| 7297 | How, further, do you conceive this consciousness of ajnâna on Brahman''s part? |
| 7297 | How, we ask in return, is this becoming a reflection of intelligence imagined to take place? |
| 7297 | II, 4);''By whom he knows all this, whereby should he know him?'' |
| 7297 | III, 1, 8);''But by a pure mind''(? |
| 7297 | III, 18, 2).--But how can something that in itself is beyond all measure, for the purpose of meditation, be spoken of as measured? |
| 7297 | IV, 3, 7);''By what should one know the knower?'' |
| 7297 | IV, 4, 19);''But when for him the Self alone has become all, by what means, and whom, should he see?'' |
| 7297 | If Vaisvânara is the highest Self, how can the text say that the altar is its chest, the grass on the altar its hairs, and so on? |
| 7297 | If the former, what is that reality? |
| 7297 | In the first place we ask,''What is the substrate of this Nescience which gives rise to the great error of plurality of existence?'' |
| 7297 | Is breath, which we thus know to be a modification of air, to be considered as a kind of elementary substance, like fire, earth, and so on? |
| 7297 | Is it due to Brahman itself, or to something else? |
| 7297 | Is it merely the knowledge of the sense of sentences which originates from the sentences? |
| 7297 | Is that distinction essential to the nature of the soul, or is it the figment of Nescience? |
| 7297 | Is the activity of the individual soul independent( free), or does it depend on the highest Self? |
| 7297 | Is this main vital breath nothing else but air, the second of the elements? |
| 7297 | Jânasruti, is likewise a Kshattriya, not a Sûdra.--But how do we know that Abhipratârin is a Kaitraratha and a Kshattriya? |
| 7297 | Nor can it do so if not being; for if consciousness itself is not, how can it furnish a proof for its own non- existence? |
| 7297 | Now in our text Brahman is introduced at the outset''Shall I tell you Brahman?'' |
| 7297 | Now there arises the question, What are the characteristics of that Self? |
| 7297 | Or is it a certain motion of the air? |
| 7297 | Proof of what, we ask in reply, and to whom? |
| 7297 | Similarly we read in the Vâjasaneyaka, in reply to the question''Who is that Self?'' |
| 7297 | Similarly, Scripture says,''what was that wood, what was that tree from which they built heaven and earth?'' |
| 7297 | Similarly, in the Mahâbhârata, to the question''Whence was created this whole world with its movable and immovable beings?'' |
| 7297 | Smriti also says,''Dost thou know both Prakriti and the soul to be without beginning?'' |
| 7297 | Take the judgment''This is such and such''; how can we realise here the non- difference of''being this''and''being such and such''? |
| 7297 | The following question now arises-- Is the individual soul absolutely different from Brahman? |
| 7297 | The word''iti,''_ thus_, here intimates that the answer is meant to dispose of the question,''Do you know_ how_?'' |
| 7297 | This scripture confirms when saying''By what should he know the knower?'' |
| 7297 | To this praise of Jânasruti the other flamingo replied,''How can you speak of him, being what he is, as if he were Raikva"sayuktvân"?'' |
| 7297 | Uddâlaka asks,''Dost thou know that Ruler within who within rules this world and the other world and all beings? |
| 7297 | VI, 2, 3);''He thought, shall I send forth worlds?'' |
| 7297 | VI, 8, 7);''Am I thou, O holy deity? |
| 7297 | VIII, 12, 4);''Who is that Self? |
| 7297 | We read in the Chândogya( I, 10; ii),''Prastotri, that deity which belongs to the Prastâva,''& c.; and further on,''which then is that deity? |
| 7297 | We read in the Chândogya( I, 9),''What is the origin of this world?'' |
| 7297 | We read in the Kathavallî( I, 3, 25),''Who then knows where he is to whom the Brahmans and Kshattriyas are but food, and death itself a condiment?'' |
| 7297 | What could, moreover, be the nature of that''manifestation''of the Self consisting of Intelligence, which would be effected through the ahamkâra? |
| 7297 | What need is there, in fact, of lengthy proofs? |
| 7297 | What, it must be asked, do you understand by this dependence on an intelligent principle? |
| 7297 | What, to come to the next point, do you understand by the inexplicability( anirvakaniyatâ) of Nescience? |
| 7297 | Whence did he thus come back?'' |
| 7297 | Where was he? |
| 7297 | Why so? |
| 7297 | Why so?'' |
| 7297 | With regard to the first- mentioned doctrine, we ask''if there is only one substance; to what can the doctrine of universal identity refer?'' |
| 7297 | You will perhaps reply''Proof to the Self''; and if we go on asking''But what is that Self''? |
| 7297 | and art thou me, O holy deity? |
| 7297 | and how is one subject to take to itself what another subject has cognised? |
| 7297 | and what is the cognising Self? |
| 7297 | and when do they become the abodes of the activities of appropriation, avoidance and so on( on the part of agents)? |
| 7297 | and when do they become the''objects of states of consciousness''? |
| 7297 | and which Self proceeds to appropriate which objects, and at what time? |
| 7297 | and which cognising Self cognises which objects, and at what time? |
| 7297 | and with what objects does it enter into contact through the sense- organs? |
| 7297 | by what means, and whom, should he know?'' |
| 7297 | consciousness) whose nature is pure Being? |
| 7297 | desire, aversion, and so on, originate? |
| 7297 | difference and non- difference)? |
| 7297 | for what purpose should we sacrifice?'' |
| 7297 | if its non- existence is not, how can it give rise to the idea of its non- existence? |
| 7297 | in the passage,''Now that serene being, which after having risen from this body,''& c.( VIII, 3, 4)? |
| 7297 | or how can it be said that of a thing absent at one time and place there is absence at other times and places also? |
| 7297 | or is it Brahman in so far as determined by a limiting adjunct( upâdhi)? |
| 7297 | or is it knowledge in the form of meditation( upâsana) which has the knowledge just referred to as its antecedent? |
| 7297 | or is it nothing else than Brahman itself in so far as under the influence of error? |
| 7297 | or is it something else? |
| 7297 | or is it the gold coins( used for making ornaments) which originate? |
| 7297 | or is it the gold, as forming the substrate of the coins[ FOOTNOTE 434:1]? |
| 7297 | or is it the soul which corresponds to the reflected image? |

| 31275 | Are our theologians aware of what they say, when they tell us that the fear of God is the fear of a child for its parent, which is mingled with love? |
| 31275 | Are the nations of the earth any happier for their faith, or their blind reliance on priests? |
| 31275 | Are there_ gala_ days in heaven? |
| 31275 | Are they capable of calming the passions, of correcting vices, and of giving virtue to those who most scrupulously observe them? |
| 31275 | Are they more lightly affected by their creed? |
| 31275 | Are they not evidently pernicious to society? |
| 31275 | Are they not still the slaves of sin? |
| 31275 | Are they themselves persecuted? |
| 31275 | Are they themselves sincerely convinced of the existence of a being who unites incompatible qualities which reciprocally exclude the one or the other? |
| 31275 | Are they vividly penetrated with the sentiments of their afflicting and terrible religion? |
| 31275 | Besides, do not the priests sell this permission to the rich, to transgress an injunction the poor must not violate with impunity? |
| 31275 | But are the theologians themselves able to make plain the difficulties which the sacred books present in every page? |
| 31275 | But can the God of the Christians be esteemed a well- bred gentleman? |
| 31275 | But can we possibly conceive that an infinite Being could unite himself with the finite nature of man? |
| 31275 | But did this man whom the Deity has created for his glory faithfully fulfil the wishes of his Creator? |
| 31275 | But do the priests themselves comprehend this ineffable God, whom they announce to other men? |
| 31275 | But does religion give us this assurance? |
| 31275 | But does the Almighty succeed in this new project? |
| 31275 | But has God succeeded in these projects to the end he proposed? |
| 31275 | But how can we be assured of the existence of a being who has none of these qualities? |
| 31275 | But how could the pure Spirit who presides over the universe beget a son? |
| 31275 | But is it necessary, Madam, to insist upon this? |
| 31275 | But is this theology itself useful to nations? |
| 31275 | But then has Satan himself incurred the disgrace of the All- powerful? |
| 31275 | But to conform one''s self to these rules, is it not necessary to have grace from Heaven? |
| 31275 | But to what advantage can this pretended virtue lead its followers? |
| 31275 | But what advantage can it be to God to heap on the damned everlasting torments? |
| 31275 | But what encouragement, what support, what consolation can be imparted to the mind from these undefined and undefinable shadows? |
| 31275 | But what is an immaterial spirit? |
| 31275 | But what is it the priests tell us of God? |
| 31275 | But what is this_ faith_? |
| 31275 | But what think you, Madam, of such reasonings? |
| 31275 | But who is it that assures us the church can not and will not deceive us? |
| 31275 | But who would provide for a country that abandoned every thing else for the purpose of heavenly contemplations? |
| 31275 | But why did God create man? |
| 31275 | But why has man become sinful? |
| 31275 | But will he not seek repose when he is fatigued by the labor of his hands? |
| 31275 | But, in attending this memorable judgment, what will become of the souls of men, separated from their bodies, which have not yet been resuscitated? |
| 31275 | But, in this case, why should the Divinity be offended by the necessary imperfections which he discovers in his creatures? |
| 31275 | By meditating on the mysteries which they contain, have they given us ideas more plain of the intentions of the Divinity? |
| 31275 | By what forfeit has he merited becoming the eternal object of the anger of that God who created him? |
| 31275 | Can he who is above our reason be understood by us, whose reason is so limited? |
| 31275 | Can there be any thing, then, more strange than the conduct of the great majority of men? |
| 31275 | Can these examples of the divine severity be of any service to those on earth, who witness not their friends in hell? |
| 31275 | Can we believe just what we please? |
| 31275 | Can we think that he exists, without reasoning on that existence? |
| 31275 | Can you find reason, equity, or humanity in the vexations, imprisonments, and exiles that in our days are inflicted upon the Jansenists? |
| 31275 | Did he not know that his Creator was all- powerful? |
| 31275 | Did his fellow- citizens concede to this great miracle, and have they at length acknowledged him? |
| 31275 | Do all the mysterious practices of the priests produce any real good? |
| 31275 | Do not his passions drive him to excesses unknown to the other animals? |
| 31275 | Do not the most ostensibly credulous persons indulge in an infinity of vices for which they would blush if they were by chance brought to light? |
| 31275 | Do the persons so touched by grace become better? |
| 31275 | Do the priests not repeat to us, without ceasing, that God is the author of grace, and that he only gives it to a small number of the elect? |
| 31275 | Do they find that superstitious practices are lucrative to themselves? |
| 31275 | Do they find themselves in the happy impossibility of kindling the divine wrath? |
| 31275 | Do they make amends for the evil they have done, or are they heartily and generously engaged in doing good to those by whom they are surrounded? |
| 31275 | Do they not hold the conduct of those very unjust, and very cruel, who happen to have the misfortune of not thinking and doing as they think and act? |
| 31275 | Do those who are reclaimed, those to whom he has made himself known, those who believe, offend not against heaven? |
| 31275 | Do we desire the continuation of this existence, because it may be blessed and happy, or because we know not what may become of us? |
| 31275 | Do we see any thing useful in the pious endowments of our ancestors? |
| 31275 | Do you not perceive, Madam, the striking contradictions of those principles which, nevertheless, form the basis of all revealed religions? |
| 31275 | Do you not see, in fact, the excesses to which fanaticism and zeal drive the wisest and best meaning men? |
| 31275 | Does it depend upon ourselves not to think a proposition absurd which our understanding shows us to be absurd? |
| 31275 | Does it tend to make reasonable, courageous, and virtuous citizens? |
| 31275 | Does not annihilation itself present to us an idea preferable to that of an existence which may very easily lead us to eternal tortures? |
| 31275 | Does not experience constantly show us that religion effects changes of this kind? |
| 31275 | Does not your compassionate soul experience at every moment the delightful satisfaction of solacing the unhappy? |
| 31275 | Does the dissipated and licentious woman repair by her vigilant cares the wrongs that her disorders and dissipations have occasioned? |
| 31275 | Does the robber return to society the property of which he has plundered it? |
| 31275 | Does the unjust and cruel man recompense those to whom he has done evil? |
| 31275 | Ever since Christianity has been adopted by some nations, have we not seen that religion has almost entirely occupied the attention of sovereigns? |
| 31275 | For if God knows all, what need is there to remind him of the wants of his creatures whom he loves? |
| 31275 | For why should God, in creating a reasonable being, not have given him an understanding which nothing could corrupt? |
| 31275 | Has he committed injustice, violence, and rapine? |
| 31275 | Has he remorse? |
| 31275 | Has the Deity, who ought, without doubt, to be perfectly satisfied with so memorable a sacrifice, remitted to them the punishment of sin? |
| 31275 | Has the Son of God made his Father perfectly known to us? |
| 31275 | Has the blood of the Son of God washed away the sins of the whole world? |
| 31275 | Has the church, perpetually boasting of the light she diffuses among men, become more fixed and certain, to do away our uncertainty? |
| 31275 | Have the successors of Moses transmitted to us ideas more clear, more sensible, more comprehensible of the Divinity? |
| 31275 | Have they just ideas of him? |
| 31275 | Have we, then, any right to hate and to exterminate them? |
| 31275 | How came this angel of light so blind as not to see the folly of such an enterprise? |
| 31275 | How can I be certain that he who professes to be inspired by the Divinity does not promulgate his own reveries or impostures as the oracles of heaven? |
| 31275 | How can a just God require that our mind must admit what it was not made to comprehend? |
| 31275 | How can a man of sense and integrity despise himself? |
| 31275 | How can an infinite Being communicate with those which are finite? |
| 31275 | How can it reckon on the favors of a God full of caprice, who it alternately informs us is replete with tenderness or with hatred? |
| 31275 | How can priests incessantly speak to us of things of which they, at the same time, acknowledge it is impossible for us to form any ideas? |
| 31275 | How can we deduce our duties from the lessons of the priests of a God of peace, who, nevertheless, breathes only sedition, vengeance, and carnage? |
| 31275 | How can we know when we do the will of a God who has said,_ Thou shalt not kill_, and who yet allows his people to exterminate whole nations? |
| 31275 | How could a just God consent that a God exempt from all sin should endure the chastisements which are due to sinners? |
| 31275 | How could a pure spirit render himself sensible? |
| 31275 | How could his imperfect mind be formed on the model of a mind possessing all perfection, like that which we suppose in the Creator of the universe? |
| 31275 | How could man, who is at least partly material, represent a pure spirit, which excludes all matter? |
| 31275 | How could we avoid receiving, in our infancy, whatever impressions and opinions our teachers and relations chose to implant in us? |
| 31275 | How do they reason upon a dogma, and quarrel with acrimony about a system of which even themselves can comprehend nothing? |
| 31275 | How shall I assure myself that he does not deceive me? |
| 31275 | I appeal to yourself, Madam, whether these sublime notions have any thing consoling in them? |
| 31275 | I therefore inquire, What is a miracle? |
| 31275 | If God be infinite, how can a finite creature reason respecting him? |
| 31275 | If God be infinitely wise, how can folly and imbecility be pleasing to him? |
| 31275 | If God can do all things, if he is privy to all the thoughts and actions of men, what need has he of any proofs? |
| 31275 | If God is a father full of tenderness and goodness, is it necessary to ask him to"give us day by day our daily bread"? |
| 31275 | If God is offended with us, will he not reject prayers which insult his goodness, his justice, and infinite wisdom? |
| 31275 | If he be omnipotent, can he not modify the minds of his creatures according to his own will? |
| 31275 | If he has resolved to give them grace necessary to save them, has he not assured them they will not perish? |
| 31275 | If it be this morality which I have defined, that makes us what we are, ought we not to labor strenuously for the happiness of our race? |
| 31275 | If no one can have faith but upon the assurance of another, and consequently can not entertain a real conviction, what becomes of the social virtues? |
| 31275 | If our clerical theologians acted in good faith, would they not rejoice to open a free course to thorough discussion? |
| 31275 | If this God is immutable and wise, how can his creatures change the fixed resolution of the Deity? |
| 31275 | If, on the contrary, I admit these miracles, what do they prove to me? |
| 31275 | In a God who extends his vengeance even to those who have not sinned, do you behold any shadow of justice? |
| 31275 | In a God who is irritated at what he knew must necessarily happen, can you imagine any foresight? |
| 31275 | In a God who punishes the being he has tempted, or subjected to temptation, do you perceive any equity? |
| 31275 | In a God who tempts us, or who permits us to be tempted, do you behold a being of beneficence and sincerity? |
| 31275 | In a word, what shall we think of these men? |
| 31275 | In favor of religion, were you not ready to renounce the world, and disregard all you owe to society? |
| 31275 | In fine, how could God suffer and die? |
| 31275 | In good faith, Madam, is it possible to feel that the God of the Christians is entitled to our love? |
| 31275 | In good truth, would not total annihilation be preferable to such beings, rather than falling into the hands of a Deity so hard- hearted? |
| 31275 | In the mean while we are assured that he created him_ in his own image_; but what was the image of God? |
| 31275 | In this case, why did it not prevent that fall and its consequences? |
| 31275 | In what consists, in effect, the education that our spiritual guides have, unhappily for society, assumed the vocation of imparting to youth? |
| 31275 | Indeed, what advantages does society reap from the greater part of conversions? |
| 31275 | Is even she tormented with chagrin, scruples, and inquietudes? |
| 31275 | Is he a husband? |
| 31275 | Is it not at the time of a man''s dissolution that he is the least capable of judging of his true interest? |
| 31275 | Is it not by rendering our fellow- creatures happy that we establish an empire in their hearts? |
| 31275 | Is it not necessary to do something more for them? |
| 31275 | Is it possible to feel any other sentiments than those of aversion towards a partial, capricious, cruel, revengeful, jealous, and sanguinary tyrant? |
| 31275 | Is it possible to found the holy duties of humanity on a God whose favorites have been inhuman persecutors and cruel monsters? |
| 31275 | Is it their interest to persecute? |
| 31275 | Is it true, however, that religion itself prevents these latent crimes? |
| 31275 | Is it, then, true that Eugenia is miserable? |
| 31275 | Is not public opinion the guardian of private virtue? |
| 31275 | Is reason so largely developed in the great mass of men that the priests should interdict its use as dangerous? |
| 31275 | Is there, in good truth, a man in the world who can form any idea of a spirit? |
| 31275 | May not he who speaks to me in the name of the Lord execute by natural means, though to me unknown, those works which appear altogether extraordinary? |
| 31275 | Need we not, then, wonder that this supernatural morality should be so contrary to the nature and the mind of man? |
| 31275 | Of what material organs did he make use in order to speak? |
| 31275 | Of what utility can it be in any family to behold an excess of devotion in the mother of that family? |
| 31275 | On what, then, ought we to found the existence of God? |
| 31275 | Setting aside the superfluous precepts of religion, think you that you could by any efforts steel your heart against the tears of the unfortunate? |
| 31275 | Shall we launch into unknown regions to ascertain our duty and to keep our station in society? |
| 31275 | Shall we say that they have only a different manner of viewing things, or that they use different words in expressing themselves? |
| 31275 | Should nations feel any extraordinary obligations to teachers who concoct doctrines that must always remain impenetrable for the whole human race? |
| 31275 | There are, without doubt, as strange notions as those of religion; but who knows that body and soul sink alike at death? |
| 31275 | This is the motto of which we spoke:--"Si j''ai raison, qu''importe à qui je suis?" |
| 31275 | This subject that he has just acquired-- will he be obedient? |
| 31275 | Thus faith supposes, that God has spoken to man-- but what evidence have we that God has spoken to man? |
| 31275 | Thus, at the very first step, do we not see that Christianity impairs the goodness and justice of its God? |
| 31275 | To what do they lead? |
| 31275 | To whom, then, is faith found to be advantageous? |
| 31275 | Under these circumstances how can faith be serviceable to morals? |
| 31275 | Was it depraved before he had done any thing to deprave it? |
| 31275 | Was not your soul involved in woe in spite of your judgment? |
| 31275 | Was the reason of Adam corrupted even beforehand by incurring the wrath of his God? |
| 31275 | Were you not taking measures to wither all your happiness? |
| 31275 | What do I say? |
| 31275 | What do I say? |
| 31275 | What do I say? |
| 31275 | What do I say? |
| 31275 | What do the priests teach their pupils? |
| 31275 | What form did he take? |
| 31275 | What happiness for me if the peace which I enjoy should put it in my power to break the charm which yet binds you with the chains of prejudice? |
| 31275 | What is the result from all this? |
| 31275 | What is the result? |
| 31275 | What means have I of recognizing whether God really speaks by his voice? |
| 31275 | What motives can men have to offer their homage and worship to the Divinity? |
| 31275 | What motives, then, have our priests to inculcate constantly the necessity of prayer? |
| 31275 | What must be thought of such conduct? |
| 31275 | What reason had the Divinity for selecting him to be the object of his fury, the destroyer of his projects, the enemy of his power? |
| 31275 | What resemblance, what proportion, what affinity could there be between a finite mind united to a body, and the infinite spirit of the Creator? |
| 31275 | What results from these maxims of a moral fanaticism? |
| 31275 | What shall we say of those fêtes which are so multiplied amongst us? |
| 31275 | What should we think of a father bringing children into the world for the sole purpose of putting their eyes out and tormenting them at his ease? |
| 31275 | What then? |
| 31275 | What will they be after death? |
| 31275 | What, then, are we to think of the God of the clergy? |
| 31275 | What, then, avails the powerful check on the passions which religion is said to interpose? |
| 31275 | What, then, is to be done, when we would calm our mind, when we wish to reflect, even for an instant? |
| 31275 | What, then, might not our opinions be were we to substitute the morality of reason for the morality of religion? |
| 31275 | When do you see a priest forgive? |
| 31275 | Whenever this uncertain idea has presented itself to your mind, has it not filled you with a cold and secret horror? |
| 31275 | Who is better acquainted than yourself, Madam, with this truth? |
| 31275 | Who is it that assures us the Holy Scriptures contain the word of God? |
| 31275 | Who was it that tempted Satan? |
| 31275 | Why did he not appease himself without immolating a victim so precious and so innocent? |
| 31275 | Will their frightful punishments correct their faults? |
| 31275 | Will this amuse him? |
| 31275 | Would it not be to himself that we should ascribe the sottishness and wickedness of his children? |
| 31275 | Would it not have been better for us not to have been born, than to have been compelled against our nature to play a game so fraught with peril? |
| 31275 | Would it not have been easier neither to announce him nor send him? |
| 31275 | Would it not show in him the height of madness were he to punish them for the evil which he had done, and the chagrin which they occasioned him? |
| 31275 | Would not such a parent be in the right to feel uneasy at the abuse which they should make of their liberty which he had given them? |
| 31275 | Would not such a prince be pronounced wicked, fanciful, and tyrannical? |
| 31275 | will he execute his will? |
| 31275 | will he render homage to his power? |
| 20233 | But one question remains to be answered, If Religion is not our proper business, what is? 20233 For what,"says Lord Brougham,"is this matter? |
| 20233 | How can we form an idea of a substance destitute of extension, and yet acting on our senses, that is, on material organs which are extended? 20233 If something must be self- existent and eternal, says another, why may not matter and all its properties be that something?" |
| 20233 | If ye endure chastening, God dealeth with you as with sons; for what son is he whom the father chasteneth not? |
| 20233 | Mr. Harrison demanded of me, where the first man came from? 20233 The Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto His heavenly kingdom"? |
| 20233 | [ 153] The principle is a sound one; and the only question is, whether matter alone is sufficient to account for mental phenomena? 20233 [ 265] That there is here a strong expression of Skeptical Atheism is evident; but is there not something more? |
| 20233 | [ 266] If it means more than this, will he say that it is insufficient for others as well as for him? 20233 [ 292] He sees the necessity, and seems to feel the attractiveness, of the doctrine; yet he denies its truth: why? |
| 20233 | [ 304] And is the_ wise use of Nature_ inconsistent with Religion? 20233 [ 316] We might answer, If Christianity be_ true_, what then? |
| 20233 | [ 317] Is there not something here that should arrest the attention and awaken the anxiety even of the Secularist himself? 20233 [ 44] Such is the objection; and how does he attempt to answer it? |
| 20233 | [ 57] Now, what, it may be asked, is this marvellous discovery, which bids so fair both to immortalize its author and to enlighten the world? 20233 ''For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his soul? 20233 --If we are asked, what is man? |
| 20233 | --"The world possesses as_ yet_ no adequate logic for that province of speculation"--"Men must die to solve the problem of Deity''s existence?" |
| 20233 | --"What, is Humanity considered as comprehending all men? |
| 20233 | --"Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? |
| 20233 | ..."A man will come to me and say, Can you account for this? |
| 20233 | ..."But are these teachers the_ only_ destroyers of Faith and Morals? |
| 20233 | ..."But what are our sensations? |
| 20233 | ..."How is it that liberty is in chains all over Europe, if God be still interposing in human affairs? |
| 20233 | ..."When a glass of wine turns a wise man into a fool, is it not clear that the result is the consequence of a change in the material conditions? |
| 20233 | A mountain of desolating facts rises up to shame into silence the hazardous supposition? |
| 20233 | A quoi bon une methode, une autorité infaillible, un enseignement Divin, si nous n''avons que des facultés trompeuses pour user de ces secours? |
| 20233 | All Christians combine the two; why should Mr. Holyoake seek to divorce them? |
| 20233 | Am I not as_ certain_ that I see four objects before me, as that two and two make four? |
| 20233 | And as to the plea of insufficient evidence, what is its precise meaning? |
| 20233 | And could they be reassured or comforted by any other article of the Secular Creed? |
| 20233 | And how are they demonstrated? |
| 20233 | And how does Mr. Holyoake save his consistency? |
| 20233 | And on what ground am I asked to receive this astonishing discovery? |
| 20233 | And what are the proofs to which it appeals, what the principles on which it rests? |
| 20233 | And what ground is left for the reckless prediction that Theology is doomed, and_ must_ fall before the onward march of Positive Science? |
| 20233 | And what is the ground on which it rests? |
| 20233 | And what is there in this extension of the argument that should exclude the idea of a First Cause? |
| 20233 | And who was the predestined heir of that Majesty? |
| 20233 | And why may not"a substance"be produced? |
| 20233 | And why? |
| 20233 | And why? |
| 20233 | And yet can it be said to belong to the head of necessary truth? |
| 20233 | Are even those who have no ideas of God Atheists? |
| 20233 | Are the philosophers of this last opinion Atheists? |
| 20233 | Are there no instances of an opposite kind? |
| 20233 | Are they necessarily incompatible or mutually exclusive? |
| 20233 | Because it is_ useful_? |
| 20233 | Because it will be followed by certain natural consequences? |
| 20233 | But does Mr. Holyoake give, or pretend to give, any such_ assurance_? |
| 20233 | But how are_ these facts proved_? |
| 20233 | But how does his extension of Paley''s argument justify the position which he now assumes? |
| 20233 | But how is this proved by the extension of the analogy? |
| 20233 | But how? |
| 20233 | But in what sense? |
| 20233 | But is it a correct account of the fact? |
| 20233 | But is it a self- evident truth, that there can be no substance in nature excepting such as is self- existent and eternal? |
| 20233 | But is it not an agency of an unspeakably loftier character? |
| 20233 | But is it so? |
| 20233 | But is there no room for both? |
| 20233 | But is this the law of development and progress? |
| 20233 | But the question is, whether,_ in all cases_, the"subject"and"object"of thought are the same? |
| 20233 | But what analogy suggests, or what law of reason requires, an_ infinite series_ of such causes? |
| 20233 | But what if this affirmation be denied? |
| 20233 | But what is the matter of fact? |
| 20233 | But what kind of a person is a Deity? |
| 20233 | But what weight is due to his testimony in such a case? |
| 20233 | But why should the spirituality of the soul be more affected by the one set of organs than it was by the other? |
| 20233 | But why, if others believe on the ground of that evidence, and if, according to his favorite theory, belief is_ the inevitable_ result of evidence? |
| 20233 | But, even if it did, what influence would it exert on our present happiness? |
| 20233 | But, is there any real danger of such a disastrous consummation? |
| 20233 | Can we have_ fixed_ articles of faith and morals in this system, any more than in the other? |
| 20233 | Can you account for that? |
| 20233 | Created beings? |
| 20233 | Croit- il qu''il existe, par exemple? |
| 20233 | Did Final Causes disappear from the view of Newton when he discovered the law which regulates the movements of the heavenly bodies? |
| 20233 | Did Galen or did Paley discard them when they surveyed the human frame in the light of scientific anatomy? |
| 20233 | Does his question imply, that if these doctrines were_ true_, he would have just reason to fear death? |
| 20233 | Does it mean merely that it has hitherto failed to convince himself and his associates? |
| 20233 | Does it not amount to a denial of the analogy itself? |
| 20233 | Does the generation of the animated tribes diminish the evidence of design in the actual constitution of the world? |
| 20233 | Et comment pourrions- nous l''employer, si ce ne''est avec notre raison? |
| 20233 | Every one whose conscience has not been utterly seared must instinctively feel the force of that appeal,"If I be a Father, where is mine honor? |
| 20233 | For example, Is Certitude the same with the highest probability? |
| 20233 | For how can I be more assured of an_ impersonal reason_ than of my own? |
| 20233 | For if the three methods have coexisted hitherto, why may they not equally coexist hereafter? |
| 20233 | For what is Idealism? |
| 20233 | For what is death? |
| 20233 | For what is the real import of the law of"vis inertiæ?" |
| 20233 | For where is the egg that comes not from a bird, and where is the bird that comes not from an egg? |
| 20233 | For why_ ought_ I to do this, or refrain from that? |
| 20233 | He is bound to give some intelligible answer to the question, What is the cause of these marvellous phenomena which I behold? |
| 20233 | How can a being without extension be capable of motion, and of putting matter into motion?" |
| 20233 | How did it originate? |
| 20233 | How do we assure ourselves of its existence? |
| 20233 | How does it stand related to the question concerning the nature and existence of God, or the constitution and destiny of Man? |
| 20233 | I ask, has the person of Deity an organization? |
| 20233 | If Christianity be false, is it nothing that day after day you have the fear of death before your eyes? |
| 20233 | If a person, is it organized like a person? |
| 20233 | If it be, why may it not be solved before death? |
| 20233 | If it has already introduced a Christian Polytheism, why may it not issue in a Christian Pantheism? |
| 20233 | If not eternal, how was it produced? |
| 20233 | If what is called in reproach''Saint- worship''resembled the Polytheism which it supplanted, or was a corruption, how did Dogmatism survive? |
| 20233 | Is Humanity a collective being, or is it nothing but a series of individual men?" |
| 20233 | Is his belief, or theirs, the measure of truth? |
| 20233 | Is it a law that is uniform and invariable in its operation? |
| 20233 | Is it a self- evident truth that man, with his distinct personality and individual consciousness, is a mere"mode"or affection of another being? |
| 20233 | Is it a self- evident truth that the ape, the lizard, and the worm are equally"modes"of the same substance with the angel and the seraph? |
| 20233 | Is it a self- evident truth that_ extension_ and_ thought_ are equally expressive of the uncreated Essence and necessary"attributes"of the Eternal? |
| 20233 | Is it not in those very departments of Nature whose laws have been most fully ascertained? |
| 20233 | Is it not the coöperation of an immortal spirit, bearing the impress of the Divine image, and at the moment acting in unison with the Divine will? |
| 20233 | Is it nothing else than the Inductive Science of Bacon, but under a new and less attractive name? |
| 20233 | Is it self- existent and eternal? |
| 20233 | Is it something, or is it nothing but an abstraction of our mind? |
| 20233 | Is it still a problem, and one, too, which may after all be solved, and solved even in the affirmative? |
| 20233 | Is it yet too late for him to reconsider his opinions, and retrace his steps? |
| 20233 | Is it, then, to be restricted to_ necessary_ and_ absolute_, as contrasted with_ contingent_ and_ relative_ truths? |
| 20233 | Is not my personal consciousness infallibly certain? |
| 20233 | Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment? |
| 20233 | Is such an idea accordant with our general conception of the dignity, not to speak of the power, of the Great Author?" |
| 20233 | Is this a matter of sense? |
| 20233 | It seeks to solve the question, What is the first Being, and what are its relations to other beings? |
| 20233 | Let it still advance in the same direction, and who shall assure us that it may not develop into still grosser idolatry, or even into Pantheism? |
| 20233 | Might they not exist as_ creatures_, as_ products_, as_ effects_, without partaking of the nature of their cause? |
| 20233 | Morality makes the wiser inquiry, Is an act useful to man? |
| 20233 | N''est ce pas par notre raison individuelle que la verité- arrivé a nous et devient notre bien? |
| 20233 | Nay, why is it that the axiom of causation needs only to be announced to command the immediate assent of the whole human race? |
| 20233 | On the former supposition, how vast the difference between the Secularist and the Christian? |
| 20233 | On the supposition that one or other of the two must be dispensed with, the question still remains, which of them can be most easily spared? |
| 20233 | On this point three distinct questions have been raised:_ First_, whether Atheism be conducive to personal happiness? |
| 20233 | Or are both views of the matter true_ on a different interpretation of the terms_? |
| 20233 | Or how can it invalidate the admissions which he had previously made? |
| 20233 | Or is spiritual dependence necessarily incompatible with industrial pursuits? |
| 20233 | Quel moyen plus immediat pourrons- nous avoir de saisir la verité? |
| 20233 | Quel principe de connaisance ou de Certitude pourrait- on placer entre nous et notre raison? |
| 20233 | Religion asks but one question, Is an act pleasing to Deity? |
| 20233 | Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you"? |
| 20233 | Shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? |
| 20233 | Still it is competent, and it may be highly useful, to entertain the question, What are the grounds on which the theory of Materialism rests? |
| 20233 | The programme of the Academy very properly places this question on the foreground, Is Certitude the same with the highest probability? |
| 20233 | The question arises,--In what manner has this set of phenomena originated? |
| 20233 | They have asked, and have attempted to answer, such questions as these: What are we? |
| 20233 | Was it formed, as it is said to have formed us?... |
| 20233 | Was not the whole land a short time ago convulsed with horror at the fate of the_ Amazon_? |
| 20233 | What am I to think, he might say, of my own father and mother? |
| 20233 | What are the forms in which it has appeared, and what the ground on which it rests? |
| 20233 | What code of Pantheism, French or German, can be said to equal the mystic dreams of the Vedanta School? |
| 20233 | What does this argument amount to? |
| 20233 | What eternal and necessary impediment prevents? |
| 20233 | What evidence have we at all respecting either its being or its qualities? |
| 20233 | What godless theory of Natural Law can compete with the Epicurean philosophy, as illustrated in the poetry of Lucretius? |
| 20233 | What if, founding on the clearest data of consciousness, we refuse to acknowledge that_ existence_ is identical with_ thought_? |
| 20233 | What is Science? |
| 20233 | What is the faculty, or what are the faculties, which give us Certitude? |
| 20233 | What modern system of Skepticism can rival that of Sextus Empiricus? |
| 20233 | What then? |
| 20233 | What, then, are they? |
| 20233 | What, then, is the doctrine of Materialism? |
| 20233 | Whence came it? |
| 20233 | Whence came this stupendous fabric of Nature? |
| 20233 | Whence do we derive any knowledge of it? |
| 20233 | Whence the order which pervades it, and the beauty by which it is adorned? |
| 20233 | Whence, above all, the evil, moral and physical, by which it is disfigured and cursed? |
| 20233 | Which of these is the truth? |
| 20233 | Who have been the most scientific and the most industrious members of the community, the small band of Atheists, or the great body of Christians? |
| 20233 | Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? |
| 20233 | Why may it not perceive, why not think, why not become conscious? |
| 20233 | Why should it be supposed that there is, or can only be,_ one_ substance in Nature? |
| 20233 | Why should it not develop, for example, into Sun worship? |
| 20233 | Why should the Science of man be opposed to the Providence of God, or secular industry to religious faith? |
| 20233 | Why? |
| 20233 | Why? |
| 20233 | Would it not deprive us of the loftiest hopes? |
| 20233 | Would it not diminish the pleasure which we derive even from earthly objects, and aggravate the bitterness of every trial? |
| 20233 | Would it not limit our enjoyments, by confining our views within the narrow range of things seen and temporal? |
| 20233 | Yet who had ever seen it? |
| 20233 | Yet, why thus degrade matter, the plastic and prolific creature of the Deity, beyond what we are authorized to do? |
| 20233 | You look with fear on the progress of Rationalism; and what hope can any man derive from that of Romanism? |
| 20233 | [ 267] But what has their belief, or his unbelief, to do with the great, the momentous fact? |
| 20233 | _ Secondly_, whether it be compatible with pure morality and virtue? |
| 20233 | and if I be a Master, where is my fear?" |
| 20233 | and may it not thus become manifest that"godliness hath the promise of the life that now is, as well as of that which is to come?" |
| 20233 | and what is the ground of that religious belief which has always prevailed in the world? |
| 20233 | and whether a theory of this kind can afford"a key to the government of God?" |
| 20233 | and why may we not at once embrace Pantheism, and conceive of God only as"the soul of the world?" |
| 20233 | and,_ thirdly_, whether it be consistent with social well- being, with the authority of the laws, and the safety or comfort of the community? |
| 20233 | because it is conducive to_ happiness_? |
| 20233 | but, what are the grounds on which they rest?--not, what is your belief? |
| 20233 | but, what is the truth? |
| 20233 | by chance or by design? |
| 20233 | by inevitable fate or by spontaneous will? |
| 20233 | how long?" |
| 20233 | in those very branches of Science which have been most thoroughly matured? |
| 20233 | is it not like a vapor, which appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away?" |
| 20233 | is it not the dictate of enlightened prudence, were we to look no further than to the present life? |
| 20233 | is it the exclusive monopoly of Atheism? |
| 20233 | one substance invested with all those properties and powers which exist, in such manifold diversity, in the organic and inorganic kingdoms? |
| 20233 | or Harvey, when, impelled and guided by this doctrine as his governing principle, he discovered the circulation of the blood? |
| 20233 | or did it come into being at some definite time? |
| 20233 | or does it mean merely, that whether they be true or false, he can have no reason to fear death, simply because he_ disbelieves_ them? |
| 20233 | or is it a philosophy radically different from it, and entitled, therefore, to be regarded as an original method? |
| 20233 | or what self- contradiction and absurdity is hereby implied? |
| 20233 | or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?'' |
| 20233 | or what_ other_ evidence will there be after death? |
| 20233 | or, whether existence and thought are_ universally_ identical? |
| 20233 | or, which of them can be most conclusively proved? |
| 20233 | what is our destination? |
| 20233 | what was our origin? |
| 20233 | who could ever see it? |
| 45850 | Canst thou by searching find out God? 45850 What can be more absurd,"asks Montesquieu,"than to imagine that a blind fatalistic force has produced intelligent beings?" |
| 45850 | What prospect,are his own words,"would there have been of such a concurrence of circumstances, if a state of chance had been the only antecedent? |
| 45850 | ''Has the word Duty no meaning? |
| 45850 | ''Is the heroic inspiration we name Virtue but some passion; some bubble of the blood, bubbling in the direction others profit by?'' |
| 45850 | ''The wicked flees, when no one pursueth;''then why does he flee? |
| 45850 | ''Worship whom?'' |
| 45850 | An objector may still ask, Could not God have attained all good ends without employing any painful means? |
| 45850 | And how could the cause communicate to it this reality unless it possessed it in itself? |
| 45850 | And if so, why may not this integrating, as I should propose to call it, have been going on for ever? |
| 45850 | And what connection in reason can there be between the sin of men or the sin of angels and the suffering endured or inflicted by primeval saurians? |
| 45850 | And what is his theory? |
| 45850 | And who can, after due deliberation, accept it? |
| 45850 | And why should producer and produced be like? |
| 45850 | Are these thoughts and feelings true? |
| 45850 | Are we, then, rationally warranted to assign to God those attributes which are called absolute or incommunicable? |
| 45850 | As soon, then, as we thoughtfully ask ourselves, What is matter? |
| 45850 | Besides, how could matter of itself produce order, even if it were self- existent and eternal? |
| 45850 | But can any one fail to see that such an argument in such a case would be ridiculous? |
| 45850 | But do not laws suppose a legislator? |
| 45850 | But if the employment of contrivance is in itself a sign of limited power, how much more so is the careful and skilful choice of contrivances? |
| 45850 | But in that case, how can any man pretend to get a knowledge of God out of it? |
| 45850 | But is conscience ever independent of the consciousness of moral law? |
| 45850 | But is there nothing more, nothing higher than this, implied in fatherhood among men? |
| 45850 | But this does not preclude the raising of the question, Is it reasonable to believe the former of the world merely its former? |
| 45850 | But what are the facts? |
| 45850 | But what could be more calculated to inspire both horror and pity? |
| 45850 | But what is nature? |
| 45850 | But what is the Iliad to the hymn of creation, and the drama of providence? |
| 45850 | But what is truth? |
| 45850 | But what of the law, or so- called law, of natural selection? |
| 45850 | But what thoughts, what feelings, can we have about the Unknowable? |
| 45850 | But where are the milliards of mishaps which are said to have occurred? |
| 45850 | But why is there such a law? |
| 45850 | But why should I assume either that there is a triangle or that there is a God? |
| 45850 | Can anything be thence inferred as to whether God is, and what He is? |
| 45850 | Can blind physical forces, if not subservient to intelligence, be conceived of as working towards so essentially ideal a goal as beauty? |
| 45850 | Can death itself, when seen in the light of it, be denied to be an evidence of benevolence? |
| 45850 | Can this be done? |
| 45850 | Can we accomplish, then, what the Greeks and Romans so signally failed to achieve? |
| 45850 | Can we build a system worthy to be called a religion on any other foundation than that which has been laid in the Gospel? |
| 45850 | Can we go any farther than this? |
| 45850 | Can we, with all our knowledge of nature and man, devise a religion which shall be at once merely rational and thoroughly effective? |
| 45850 | Can we? |
| 45850 | Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? |
| 45850 | Could mere matter know the abstrusest properties of space and time and number, so as to obey them in the wondrous way it does? |
| 45850 | Deeper than hell; what canst thou know? |
| 45850 | Did the atoms take counsel together and devise a common plan and work it out? |
| 45850 | Did they make themselves? |
| 45850 | Did, then, the philosophers discover the way? |
| 45850 | Do they find any person admitting that mind would be an insufficient First Cause? |
| 45850 | Do they themselves see any way of showing its insufficiency? |
| 45850 | Does the world explain itself, or does it lead the mind above and beyond itself? |
| 45850 | External nature, however, is seen to be throughout orderly and harmonious; how can we suppose the moral world to be disorderly and chaotic? |
| 45850 | For what is it that conscience declares most clearly about moral good and evil, right and wrong? |
| 45850 | For what is meant by design? |
| 45850 | Has this been done? |
| 45850 | Have we any reason, however, to suppose that sin is willed by God in the sense either of being caused or approved by Him? |
| 45850 | How can all this be under the government of Infinite Goodness? |
| 45850 | If at any past period there was a certain degree of diffusion, why may there not have been a greater degree at an earlier period? |
| 45850 | If man had nothing to struggle with, would he be as enterprising, as ingenious, as variously skilled and educated as he is? |
| 45850 | If the hare had no fear, would it be as swift as it is? |
| 45850 | If the lion had no hunger, would it be as strong as it is? |
| 45850 | If we could, would our worship do either our minds or hearts more good than the worship of Jupiter and Juno did the Greeks of old? |
| 45850 | If we worship the creations of our minds, why not also those of our hands? |
| 45850 | In what directions are vegetable and animal life developing? |
| 45850 | In what sense has He fatherly love? |
| 45850 | In what sense is He a Father? |
| 45850 | Is belief in God a reasonable belief, or is it not? |
| 45850 | Is it conceivable that any other than a righteous God would have bestowed on us such a gift, such a faculty? |
| 45850 | Is it not because revealed religion contains more than natural religion-- what reason can not read in the physical universe or human soul? |
| 45850 | Is it scientific, or in any wise reasonable, to believe that the process will not advance to its legitimate goal? |
| 45850 | Is that not to go back to fetichism? |
| 45850 | Is that proof in this case likely to be easier or more conclusive than the proof of the Divine existence? |
| 45850 | Is the First Cause finite or infinite? |
| 45850 | Is the testimony which conscience gives to the existence and character of God confirmed when we look out into the moral world? |
| 45850 | Is theism true, or is some antagonistic, some anti- theistic theory true? |
| 45850 | Is there any heathen religion or heathen philosophy in which there are not truths of natural religion? |
| 45850 | Is there any point, any fact or principle, which we are in reason bound to start from? |
| 45850 | Is there any truth which can be affirmed to belong universally to this consciousness? |
| 45850 | Is there not in this fact a vindication of God''s wisdom and holiness worth more than volumes of abstract speculation? |
| 45850 | It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? |
| 45850 | It is, perhaps, especially important in conducting the moral argument to ask ourselves distinctly, Whence ought we to begin? |
| 45850 | Might there not be others, yet unknown, that would solve the difficulty? |
| 45850 | Might we not as well worship empty space, the eternal no, or the absolute nothing? |
| 45850 | Might we not just as wisely and profitably adore a stock or stone? |
| 45850 | Must it rest in the recognition of order, for example, and reject the thought of an intelligence in which that order has its source? |
| 45850 | Must not its former be also its creator? |
| 45850 | Must not, in that case, his ideals be mere dreams-- his longings mere delusions? |
| 45850 | Must the First Cause be thought of as eternal or not-- as infinite or finite, as perfect or imperfect? |
| 45850 | No man need go to them with the question,"What shall I do to inherit eternal life?" |
| 45850 | On what grounds, then, does he withhold his assent from them? |
| 45850 | Or did he not think on the subject at all, and so reasoned very much at random? |
| 45850 | Or did he suppose, perhaps, that both ability and inability were signs of weakness, and that, consequently, for once opposites were identical? |
| 45850 | Or, is this not to represent every science as leading us into a darkness far greater than any from which it has delivered us? |
| 45850 | Perhaps the first question which arises is, Are we to take the material universe to be infinite? |
| 45850 | Pope''s''Shall gravitation cease when you go by?'' |
| 45850 | Shall we try, then, to get out of and beyond theism on that other side to which some moderns beckon us? |
| 45850 | The question is, Is this state of things intelligible on any other supposition than that of a designing mind? |
| 45850 | The question is-- Has law a reason, or is it without a reason? |
| 45850 | The question, Did the earth and the solar system originate with intelligence? |
| 45850 | The question, Is the Platonic proof of the Divine existence substantially true? |
| 45850 | The sole question for us is, Of what being? |
| 45850 | There are two good popular accounts of the controversy:''What is Darwinism?'' |
| 45850 | There at once rises the question, Is it really necessary to believe both matter and mind to be eternal? |
| 45850 | There may be no such thing as a triangle, why should there be such a Being as God?" |
| 45850 | This question, then, is alone left,--Could anything else than intelligence thus weigh, measure, and number? |
| 45850 | Was he correct in this judgment? |
| 45850 | We may ask, What is the goal towards which creation moves? |
| 45850 | Well, is this law not a means to an end worthy of Divine Wisdom? |
| 45850 | Were there no truths of natural religion in the works of Plato, Cicero, and Seneca? |
| 45850 | What becomes of our doctrine of progress? |
| 45850 | What can creation and providence teach us about God? |
| 45850 | What could the most perfect art have done to protect the walls of the stomach, but invent a precaution similar to that which exists in reality? |
| 45850 | What do we mean when we hold that final causes in this sense truly are in the Divine Mind, and with reference equally to intrinsic and extrinsic ends? |
| 45850 | What great good has ever been lost? |
| 45850 | What has happened? |
| 45850 | What is implied in this admission? |
| 45850 | What is the chief end of man? |
| 45850 | What is the ideal of truth which science has before it, and which it hopes to realise? |
| 45850 | What more would we have? |
| 45850 | What now must we say of this region? |
| 45850 | What origin are we to give them? |
| 45850 | What proof do they give us? |
| 45850 | What right can any one have to represent it as a source of knowledge of God? |
| 45850 | What then would become of the marks of design and unity in nature, and of the theist''s argument for the being of a God?... |
| 45850 | What will be the fate of the earth? |
| 45850 | What worth can it have? |
| 45850 | What, then, even at the present day, do the ablest of those who reject Christianity propose to offer us instead? |
| 45850 | What, then, is its most comprehensive and best established theorem? |
| 45850 | What, then, is its most general and certain result? |
| 45850 | What, then, is the result of such an examination? |
| 45850 | When we assume the principle of causality in the argument for the existence of God, what precisely is it that we assume? |
| 45850 | Whence do we get this knowledge? |
| 45850 | Whence has it this power, this foresight, this intelligence, which are so conspicuous in the course of our destinies? |
| 45850 | Whence his terror? |
| 45850 | Where are the monstrous worlds which preceded those which constitute the cosmos? |
| 45850 | Wherefore has He permitted sin to endure so long and spread so widely? |
| 45850 | Wherein is it that both fail? |
| 45850 | Whither is history tending? |
| 45850 | Who can rationally assure us that this was to be desired? |
| 45850 | Who is it that he sees in solitude, in darkness, in the hidden chambers of his heart? |
| 45850 | Who made them thus? |
| 45850 | Who will believe that matter acts with wisdom-- with intelligence? |
| 45850 | Who would have recourse to means if to attain his end his mere word was sufficient? |
| 45850 | Whose is this perfect, authoritative, supreme will, to which all consciences, even the most erring, point back? |
| 45850 | Whose, if not God''s? |
| 45850 | Why did He not prevent them sinning? |
| 45850 | Why does like produce like? |
| 45850 | Why is such idolatry any better than that of the old wood and stone? |
| 45850 | Why is this? |
| 45850 | Why should God not act by general laws there as well as elsewhere? |
| 45850 | Why should an accident not occur there as well as elsewhere? |
| 45850 | Why should not all nature have been sterile? |
| 45850 | Why should offspring not always be as unlike their parents as tadpoles are unlike frogs? |
| 45850 | Why should there have been any provision for the propagation of life in a universe ruled by a mere blind force? |
| 45850 | Why should they ever become like to them? |
| 45850 | Why should this be? |
| 45850 | Why? |
| 45850 | Why? |
| 45850 | Would He have so constructed the creatures of our species as to have planted in every breast a reclaiming witness against Himself? |
| 45850 | Would an intelligent but unrighteous God have made us to hate and despise what is characteristic of his own nature? |
| 45850 | Would he have made us better than himself? |
| 45850 | Would the world thereby, however, be made better as a whole, and throughout all its future history? |
| 45850 | Would there have been in that case any moral conflicts in the human heart akin to those which a Sophocles or a Shakespeare has delineated? |
| 45850 | Would they be the magnificent and beautiful creatures so many of them are? |
| 45850 | and if He could do this, why did He not? |
| 45850 | and if not, does it bear out the theological conclusion here sought to be rested upon it? |
| 45850 | and that to still another of the same kind, and so on_ ad infinitum_? |
| 45850 | and where has it a real existence? |
| 45850 | and who can this legislator be, if not God? |
| 45850 | and, What is known of His nature? |
| 45850 | he would have exclaimed;''worship what? |
| 45850 | is distinct from the question, Was the intelligence in which they originated perfect? |
| 45850 | is precisely equivalent to the question, Is the Platonic philosophy substantially true? |
| 45850 | is what we call Duty no Divine messenger and guide, but a false earthly phantasm made up of desire and fear?'' |
| 45850 | of beauty, which art has before it? |

| 36269 | Do you think God will possibly lead you into temptation? |
| 36269 | Do you want to see how God helps the poor? |
| 36269 | Does David repent? |
| 36269 | Does Jesus atone for Adam''s sin? |
| 36269 | Does any thought of the murdered Uriah rack old David''s brain, or has a tardy repentance effaced the bloody stain from the pages of his memory? |
| 36269 | Does he express his determination to protect the righteous Job? |
| 36269 | Does he make a confession of his crime- stained life, and beg his son to be a better king, a truer man, a more honest citizen, a wiser father? |
| 36269 | Does he talk of cherubs, angels, and heavenly choirs? |
| 36269 | Does he use his power to rebuke the evil tempter? |
| 36269 | Does his love of country efface his many misdoings? |
| 36269 | Does his patriotism outshine his many vices? |
| 36269 | Does it come in the moment the child begins to form, or is it the moment the child is born into the world? |
| 36269 | Does my soul feel hungry and compel my body to steal? |
| 36269 | Does the Lord now drive the Devil from his presence? |
| 36269 | Early in 1858, when Mr. Edward Truelove was suddenly arrested for publishing the pamphlet,"Is Tyrannicide Justifiable?" |
| 36269 | Esau''s words were,"Behold I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright be to me?" |
| 36269 | Faith that Jacob was Esau? |
| 36269 | For Jesus himself-- can man believe in him? |
| 36269 | For, if the argument can not make out that the being it discovers is everywhere present, how can it ever make out that he is everywhere powerful? |
| 36269 | HAS MAN A SOUL? |
| 36269 | Had this Jewish monarch any redeeming traits in his character? |
| 36269 | Has it a separate and distinct existence from the body? |
| 36269 | Has it been waiting from all eternity to occupy each body the moment of birth? |
| 36269 | Has man a soul? |
| 36269 | Has man a soul? |
| 36269 | Hast thou not made an hedge about him, and about all that he hath on every side? |
| 36269 | Have you a wife you love? |
| 36269 | Have you ever found it apart from matter? |
| 36269 | Have you found that the mind has a separate and distinct existence? |
| 36269 | His history being a fable, is the hero a reality? |
| 36269 | How can God''s name be hallowed even if you know it? |
| 36269 | How can this poverty be removed and prevented? |
| 36269 | How did Jesus die? |
| 36269 | How do you know it had not? |
| 36269 | How does this King, of this unknown Salem, never heard of before or after, come to be priest of the Most High God? |
| 36269 | How is God''s will done in heaven? |
| 36269 | How is it that if the soul is immaterial, having nothing in common with matter, that it is only manifest by material means? |
| 36269 | How is it that my spirit is now by myself, and by my mortal body, denying its own existence? |
| 36269 | How is it that the Dyaks have got this soul and yet live knowing nothing whatever about it? |
| 36269 | How is it that the soul can not speak the moment the child is born-- can not even think? |
| 36269 | How is that? |
| 36269 | I ask you whether it was pre- existing, or at what stage it came? |
| 36269 | IS THERE A GOD? |
| 36269 | If God be infinite goodness, can evil exist at all? |
| 36269 | If it would have had a soul, then have avertebrated animals souls also? |
| 36269 | If man''s soul is not subject to material conditions, why do I find knavish souls?--Why slavish souls?--tyrannous souls? |
| 36269 | If not, how do you know that the soul is to exist for ever; when it only comes into existence with the child? |
| 36269 | If so, have fishes souls? |
| 36269 | If so, when and where? |
| 36269 | If susceptible to material conditions, what do you mean by its being immortal and immaterial? |
| 36269 | If the All- wise had intended the tree to be avoided, would he have made its allurements so overpowering to the senses? |
| 36269 | If the atonement is for the whole world, does it extend to unbelievers as well as to believers in the efficacy? |
| 36269 | If the brain had stopped in its first month''s course of formation, would the child have had a soul? |
| 36269 | If the soul began at some time to exist, where is the evidence that it will not also at some time cease to exist? |
| 36269 | If the sum of all bodily function-- life, be not an entity, how can the product of the action of one portion of the body-- brain, be an entity? |
| 36269 | If you tell me it would not have had a soul, then I ask, How do you know it? |
| 36269 | In his argument for the fourth proposition, Mr. Gillespie-- having by his previous proposition demonstrated(?) |
| 36269 | In the"Bon Sens"of Cure Meslier, it is asked,"Qu''est ce que Dieu?" |
| 36269 | In what manner does the soul come into the child? |
| 36269 | Is God infinite, then he is in earth also, why limit him to Heaven? |
| 36269 | Is God the creator of all? |
| 36269 | Is it I? |
| 36269 | Is it a baby''s soul, and does it grow with the child? |
| 36269 | Is it an attribute of the body? |
| 36269 | Is it apart from the body? |
| 36269 | Is it good to be content with poverty? |
| 36269 | Is it impossible to suppose a necessary being of heat, one of light, and one of electricity, all occupying the same indefinite expansion? |
| 36269 | Is it my soul? |
| 36269 | Is it spirit? |
| 36269 | Is it that the soul being immortal-- being destined to exist for ever, has existed from all eternity? |
| 36269 | Is it the body? |
| 36269 | Is it the immaterial and immortal soul amused and pleased with my bundle of keys? |
| 36269 | Is it the soul which is learning to appreciate the sound of the jingling keys, and pleased with them? |
| 36269 | Is it wonderful that some of these misery- stricken ones die before they have time to starve? |
| 36269 | Is it"me,"and yet distinct from me? |
| 36269 | Is mind an entity or result? |
| 36269 | Is my immortal soul hindered and controlled by the state of my body''s general health? |
| 36269 | Is my mortal soul acting the hypocrite, or is it ignorant of its own existence, and can not help itself to better knowledge? |
| 36269 | Is not brightness the quality attaching to a certain modification of existence-- steel? |
| 36269 | Is not intelligence a quality attaching to a certain modification of existence-- man? |
| 36269 | Is poverty of spirit a virtue at all? |
| 36269 | Is poverty of spirit the chief among virtues, that Jesus gives it the prime place in his teaching? |
| 36269 | Is that so? |
| 36269 | Is that the theory? |
| 36269 | Is the angel of the Lord a substance susceptible of ignition and incandescence? |
| 36269 | Is the idiot saved who can not believe? |
| 36269 | Is the infant saved that can not believe? |
| 36269 | Is the plaster roof more powerful than my immortal soul? |
| 36269 | Is there any expression of wrath or indignation against his tempter? |
| 36269 | Is there any proof of the existence of the same individual soul apart from all material conditions? |
| 36269 | Is there anything beyond"God"for"God"to sensate? |
| 36269 | Is there anything? |
| 36269 | Is there no new form of prayer that labor might be taught to utter, no other power to which his petition might be addressed? |
| 36269 | Is there one existence or more? |
| 36269 | Is this immortal soul affected by the bodily conditions? |
| 36269 | Is this so? |
| 36269 | Is this your objection? |
| 36269 | Isaac still hesitated, fancying that he recognized the voice to be the voice of Jacob, and again questioned him, saying,"Art thou my very son Esau?" |
| 36269 | It it came into existence with the body''s birth, why not cease with the body''s death? |
| 36269 | It will be vain to talk of the Deity being present by his energy? |
| 36269 | Jacob was a shrewd Jew, who would have laughed to scorn the preaching,"Take no thought, saying, what shall we eat? |
| 36269 | Jesus teaches that the poor, the hungry and the wretched shall be blessed? |
| 36269 | Jesus, who was very meek and gentle, answered her in the somewhat uncourteous and unmeaning phrase,"Woman, what have I to do with thee? |
| 36269 | Knaves have said it-- but why? |
| 36269 | Let workmen, instead of praying to God in their distress, ask one another why are wages low? |
| 36269 | Manly self- reliant resistance of wrong, and practice of right? |
| 36269 | Many volumes might be written to answer the inquiries-- Where did the angel stand, and on what? |
| 36269 | May not that which has recently begun to be, soon cease to be? |
| 36269 | Mr. Gillespie''s last proposition is that the being( God) whose existence he has so satisfactorily(?) |
| 36269 | Must I be damned? |
| 36269 | Nay, Abraham even deceived his own son, who asked him where was the lamb for the burnt offering? |
| 36269 | Now, should a birth have taken place at any of the eight stages, would the child thus prematurely born have had a soul? |
| 36269 | Of some person, judging according to that person''s senses? |
| 36269 | Of what metal was the sword, and where was it made? |
| 36269 | On a truthful course of life? |
| 36269 | On the cross, the Jesus of the four gospels, who was God, cried out,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" |
| 36269 | Or are they( the various races) indigenous to their nature, soils, and climates? |
| 36269 | Or do you allege that God specially creates souls for each little child at the moment it is born or conceived? |
| 36269 | Or was the tenement too small even for so etherial a lodger? |
| 36269 | Our question at the commencement was,"Who was Jesus Christ?" |
| 36269 | Peter, the favored disciple, it is declared was a rascal, and why not his successors? |
| 36269 | Sarah-- then by her own admission an old woman, stricken in years-- laughed when she heard this, and the Lord said,"Wherefore did Sarah laugh?" |
| 36269 | Satan''s answer is,"Doth Job fear God for naught? |
| 36269 | Sins? |
| 36269 | So say the priesthood now; but where is the evidence of his virtue? |
| 36269 | Some of the most weighty and vital facts(?) |
| 36269 | Supposing Adam to have at once disobeyed this injunction, would it have been sin? |
| 36269 | Supposing for a moment this to be correct, I ask what even then will be the state of the argument? |
| 36269 | Supposing the development of the child had been then stopped, had it a soul at that time? |
| 36269 | The Jesus of the third gospel never went into Egypt at all in his childhood; perhaps there were two Jesus Christs? |
| 36269 | The faculty of whom? |
| 36269 | The orthodox say that the soul is made by God; and what do you know about God? |
| 36269 | The question is again before us: How are men to be prevented from starving? |
| 36269 | The question, then, really is this: Have the different races of men all found their common parent in Noah, about 4,300 years ago? |
| 36269 | The reason of law declared the maniac not a free agent, and the verdict follows, of course_ Not guilty?_ Did Adam sin? |
| 36269 | The reason of law declared the maniac not a free agent, and the verdict follows, of course_ Not guilty?_ Did Adam sin? |
| 36269 | Then said the Lord, Doest thou well to be angry?" |
| 36269 | Then said they unto him, What shall we do unto thee, that the sea may be calm unto us? |
| 36269 | Then were the men exceedingly afraid, and said unto him, Why hast thou done this? |
| 36269 | Then you will admit that your stream runs from a polluted fountain? |
| 36269 | There are few who now pretend that the whole_ creation(? |
| 36269 | There can not be perfect intelligence without will, but has God will? |
| 36269 | They are not starved, but is this sort of asphyxiation much better? |
| 36269 | This question, Were Adam and Eve our first parents? |
| 36269 | To Adam and Eve, or rather to Noah and his family? |
| 36269 | To try the actual value of this argument, it is not unfair to ask, Do Theists ever steal? |
| 36269 | WERE ADAM AND EVE OUR FIRST PARENTS? |
| 36269 | WHAT DID JESUS TEACH? |
| 36269 | WHO WAS JESUS CHRIST? |
| 36269 | WHY DO MEN STARVE? |
| 36269 | Warned by the past, ought we not to- day to give battle to that curse of all old countries-- poverty? |
| 36269 | Was Jesus the son of God? |
| 36269 | Was he a good citizen? |
| 36269 | Was he a good king? |
| 36269 | Was he a kind and constant husband? |
| 36269 | Was he grateful to those who aided him in his hour of need? |
| 36269 | Was not Esau a merciful, generous man? |
| 36269 | Was not Jacob a mean, prevaricating knave, a crafty, abject cheat? |
| 36269 | Weakness and ignorance have said it-- but why? |
| 36269 | Were Adam and Eve our first parents? |
| 36269 | What are 270,000 men when looked at prayerfully? |
| 36269 | What can be understood by"first cause?" |
| 36269 | What causes produce a rise and fall in wages? |
| 36269 | What debts have you to God? |
| 36269 | What did Jesus teach? |
| 36269 | What did Jesus teach? |
| 36269 | What do those mean who say that man is made up of two parts-- matter and mind? |
| 36269 | What do you mean by passive and inert matter? |
| 36269 | What do you mean by soul? |
| 36269 | What does Christian Theism teach? |
| 36269 | What does Jesus teach on this? |
| 36269 | What does it present to the mind? |
| 36269 | What does that mean, except that they know nothing whatever about it? |
| 36269 | What does the dying David say? |
| 36269 | What does the dying David say? |
| 36269 | What effect is there which the forces of existence are incapable of producing? |
| 36269 | What fact is there so certain that I may base all my reasonings upon it? |
| 36269 | What ground have you for alleging that the soul did not exist in the child? |
| 36269 | What if it had broken and the dreamer underneath it? |
| 36269 | What is God''s kingdom, and will your praying bring it quicker? |
| 36269 | What is God''s name? |
| 36269 | What is God''s reply to this audacious assertion? |
| 36269 | What is his direction on prayer? |
| 36269 | What is in a name? |
| 36269 | What is life? |
| 36269 | What is sin? |
| 36269 | What is spirit? |
| 36269 | What is the soul? |
| 36269 | What is the soul? |
| 36269 | What is there which enables you to convert it into a separate and distinct existence? |
| 36269 | What is this but the original of our own Christian God, the father, the[------](_ Jeue_) pater of the Old Testament? |
| 36269 | What is this doctrine of spirituality? |
| 36269 | What more of the Kingdom of Heaven? |
| 36269 | What, then, becomes of the omnipresence of the Deity, according to those who are content to rest satisfied from the reasoning of experience?... |
| 36269 | When did the soul come into the body? |
| 36269 | When does it come into the child? |
| 36269 | When does it go out of man? |
| 36269 | When does the soul come into man? |
| 36269 | When shall they that mourn be comforted? |
| 36269 | Whence could I infer that the same being consisted of two parts, and that the inward part continues to live and think, and flies away from the body? |
| 36269 | Whence is it this soul comes? |
| 36269 | Where are the descendants of the Romans, the Vandals, or the Greeks in Africa? |
| 36269 | Where are there any Materialists who accept Dr. Beecher''s limitation of matter? |
| 36269 | Where is Heaven? |
| 36269 | Where is the soul? |
| 36269 | Where was Salem? |
| 36269 | Which is the theory put forward? |
| 36269 | Who knoweth? |
| 36269 | Who offered them the help of himself and band? |
| 36269 | Who offered to make war on his own countrymen? |
| 36269 | Who was Christ? |
| 36269 | Who was Fin ma coul? |
| 36269 | Who was Jesus Christ? |
| 36269 | Who was Jesus Christ? |
| 36269 | Who was Odin? |
| 36269 | Who was Saint Patrick, who excelled the reptiles from Ireland? |
| 36269 | Why are wages low? |
| 36269 | Why do you come to the conclusion that intelligence is not an attribute-- why? |
| 36269 | Why do you come to the conclusion that the forces of the universe are incapable of producing every effect of which I take cognizance? |
| 36269 | Why does it happen that Christian London, with its magnificent houses for God, has so many squalid holes for the poor? |
| 36269 | Why is it more difficult to suppose this than to suppose one being of infinity, and, in addition to this infinity, a material universe? |
| 36269 | Why pray then for bread to God, who says,"Blessed be ye that hunger.... woe unto you that are full?" |
| 36269 | Why should not the laborer combine also? |
| 36269 | Why should the fatted calf be killed for the prodigal son? |
| 36269 | Will any sane man argue that there was sufficient lapse of time in three centuries for the development of Caucasian and Negro man from one family? |
| 36269 | Will work get it without the prayer? |
| 36269 | Will you again turn back to the love of Jesus as the redeeming feature of the whole? |
| 36269 | Will you urge that this only applies to the Romish Church? |
| 36269 | With a savory meat prepared by Rebekah, he came into his father''s presence, and Isaac said,"Who art thou, my son?" |
| 36269 | Yes? |
| 36269 | Yet without perception where is intelligence? |
| 36269 | You say the soul is immaterial; do you mean that it is susceptible to material conditions or do you not? |
| 36269 | You, who tell me of the vast forces of the universe, what do you mean by telling me that that is motionless? |
| 36269 | a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and escheweth evil? |
| 36269 | an existence or a condition? |
| 36269 | and I ask you what ground you have for assuming that the soul did not begin to form with the formation of the brain? |
| 36269 | and did he create the descendant of Abraham with greater right and privilege than all other men? |
| 36269 | and did the angel wear a sword belt? |
| 36269 | and how is it that it is incased and inclosed in my material frame? |
| 36269 | and if you know it not, how can you hallow it? |
| 36269 | and of what people art thou? |
| 36269 | and whence comest thou? |
| 36269 | are high wages beneficial to the laborer? |
| 36269 | can we raise our own wages? |
| 36269 | empty mockery, God hath not justly dealt by me: Have I not begged and prayed in vain; What boots it now to pray again?" |
| 36269 | express an"agony"caused by a consciousness of"desertion?" |
| 36269 | having raised them, can we keep them fixed at the sum desired? |
| 36269 | how can wages be raised? |
| 36269 | if so, under what circumstances? |
| 36269 | or is the soul originally naturally depraved? |
| 36269 | or what shall we drink? |
| 36269 | or wherewithal shall we be clothed?.... |
| 36269 | or, does it possess its full power the moment the child is born? |
| 36269 | or, what shall we drink? |
| 36269 | or, wherewithal shall we be clothed?" |
| 36269 | what he calls a substratum for the before demonstrated(?) |
| 36269 | what is thy country? |
| 36269 | why hast thou forsaken me?" |
| 37233 | ( 1) And, after a few words, he proceeds:What then? |
| 37233 | ( 1) Which of these accounts are we to believe? 37233 ( 2) 1 Can the author of the Apocalypse, or Paul, ever have heard of the raising of Lazarus? |
| 37233 | ( 2) As one condition is here mentioned, why not the others, had any been actually imposed? 37233 ( 2) Can this be considered a"very circumstantial account"? |
| 37233 | ( 3) What was the use of the angel''s message since Jesus himself immediately after appears and delivers the very same instructions in person? 37233 Am I not an Apostle? |
| 37233 | Am I not free? 37233 Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?" |
| 37233 | Truly the signs of the apostle were wrought,but how wrought? |
| 37233 | What then is the advantage of the Jew? 37233 & c. Did all the multitude say this? 37233 ( 1) If the introduction of the angel be legendary, must not also his words be so? 37233 ( 1) Is it not palpable that the whole story is legendary? 37233 ( 1) What title will adequately represent the contents of the book? 37233 ( 2) Are we to regard the mention of these doubts as aninestimable proof of the candour of the Evangelists"? |
| 37233 | ( 3) Are we to accept it as such? |
| 37233 | ( 3) How, we might ask, could it be known to the writer that all who sat at the Council saw this? |
| 37233 | ( 3) Now, how came this doxology to be placed at all at the end of chapter xiv.? |
| 37233 | ( 3) Supposing that the use of Acts be held to be thus indicated, what does this prove? |
| 37233 | ( 3) What Scriptures, however, are fulfilled? |
| 37233 | ):"But the other answering rebuked him and said: Dost thou not even fear God seeing thou art in the same condemnation? |
| 37233 | 1 in any way justify or prepare(3) the way for the{ 45} sudden and unexplained introduction of the first person in the sixteenth chapter? |
| 37233 | 1),"who bewitched you?" |
| 37233 | 10"... to another kinds of tongues; and to another interpretation of tongues;"and again, v. 30:"do all speak with tongues? |
| 37233 | 1:"Eli( or Mk., Eloi), Eli, lema sabacthani? |

| 37233 | 30? |
| 37233 | 5:"Is it so that there is not even one wise man among you who shall be able to discern[------] between his brethren?" |
| 37233 | 6):"... What shall I profit you, except I shall speak to you either in revelation or in knowledge[------], or in prophecy, or in teaching?" |
| 37233 | 7f:"And they were all amazed and marvelled, saying, Behold, are not all these which speak Galilaeans? |
| 37233 | 9, Paul says:"So likewise ye, unless ye utter by the tongue[------] words{ 382} easy to be understood, how shall it be known what is spoken? |
| 37233 | Am I not an Apostle? |
| 37233 | And I said: Who art thou, Lord? |
| 37233 | And as they were afraid, and bowed their faces to the earth, they said unto them: Why seek ye the living among the dead? |
| 37233 | And he said, Who art thou, Lord? |
| 37233 | And how hear we every man in our own{ 375} language wherein we were born?" |
| 37233 | And what was the main difference between the persecutor and the persecuted? |
| 37233 | And when we all fell to the earth, I heard a voice saying unto me in the Hebrew tongue: Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? |
| 37233 | And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them: Have ye here any food? |
| 37233 | Are all apostles? |
| 37233 | Are they Abraham''s seed? |
| 37233 | Are they Abraham''s seed? |
| 37233 | Are they Israelites? |
| 37233 | Are they Israelites? |
| 37233 | Are they ministers of Christ? |
| 37233 | Are we to assume that these things were really said? |
| 37233 | Are we to regard the Transfiguration as a subjective vision? |
| 37233 | Are we to suppose that an opportunity to bestow the Holy Spirit was selected when one of the Apostles was not present? |
| 37233 | Are we to suppose that the Apostle took no trouble to convince himself of the facts before he began to persecute? |
| 37233 | Believing Jesus to have been the Messiah, how could they interpret his death on the cross? |
| 37233 | Besides, what evidence is there that even a single indifferent person found the sepulchre empty? |
| 37233 | But agreeing that the Hebrew is erroneously rendered,(2) the only pertinent question is: by whom was the error in question committed? |
| 37233 | But can this argument bear any scrutiny by the light of Paul''s own writings? |
| 37233 | But if he was supplicating for those who stoned him, how much more for the brethren? |
| 37233 | But in what does the personal edification of the individual consist? |
| 37233 | By whom were these letters written? |
| 37233 | Can Truth by any means be made less true? |
| 37233 | Can any one doubt that this was nearly akin to the state of ecstatic trance in which he spoke with tongues more than all the Corinthians? |
| 37233 | Can any unprejudiced critic deny that the ideas in the speeches we are considering are also substantially the same? |
| 37233 | Can it be maintained that there are comparative degrees in salvation? |
| 37233 | Can reality be melted into thin air? |
| 37233 | Can the Acts of the Apostles, in short, be considered a sober and veracious history of so important and interesting an epoch of the christian Church? |
| 37233 | Can the belief of such men, in such an age, establish the reality of a phenomenon which contradicts universal experience? |
| 37233 | Can there be any doubt that the whole episode is legendary? |
| 37233 | Can we imagine that this Spirit can actually have prompted many people to speak at one and the same time to the utter disturbance of order? |
| 37233 | Did Paul intentionally omit all mention of the appearances to the women, or did he not know of them? |
| 37233 | Did any two receive precisely the same impressions? |
| 37233 | Did he ascend to heaven after each appearance? |
| 37233 | Did he depart like other men? |
| 37233 | Did he not then know that Jesus had appeared to Paul on the way? |
| 37233 | Did he vanish suddenly? |
| 37233 | Did he vanish suddenly? |
| 37233 | Did she not inquire why he did not join the brethren? |
| 37233 | Did the 500 originally think anything of the kind? |
| 37233 | Did they die again? |
| 37233 | Do we acquire any additional assurance as to the reality of the angels and the historical truth of their intervention from this narrative? |
| 37233 | Do we not get an instructive insight into the nature of the other Charismata from this suggestive fact? |
| 37233 | Does Paul himself ascribe his conversion to Christianity to the fact of his having seen Jesus? |
| 37233 | Does any one suppose that Paul,"whether in the body or out of the body,"was ever actually caught up into"the third heaven,"wherever that may be? |
| 37233 | Does he refer to the Christian community of Jerusalem, or to the Apostles themselves? |
| 37233 | Does not such sarcasm as the following seem extremely indecorous when criticising a result produced directly by the Holy Spirit? |
| 37233 | Does this, however, guarantee the truth of the reports or inferences of those who informed the Apostle? |
| 37233 | Even if this were so, it could not do away with the actual irony of the expressions; but do the facts support such a statement? |
| 37233 | Finally we might ask: What became of these saints raised from the dead? |
| 37233 | For whereas there is among you envying and strife; are ye not carnal?" |
| 37233 | For[------] what is there wherein ye were inferior to the other Churches, except it be that I myself was not burdensome to you?" |
| 37233 | From whom did he get it? |
| 37233 | Further on, the writer adds more of the same kind, v. 12, 13:"And they were all amazed and were in doubt, saying one to another: What may this mean? |
| 37233 | Had his normal custom been to live like the Gentiles, how is it possible that he could, on this occasion only, have feared those of the circumcision? |
| 37233 | Hath any man been called in uncircumcision? |
| 37233 | Have I not seen Jesus our Lord?" |
| 37233 | He does not pretend to teach them from his own knowledge, and the question naturally arises: From whom did he"receive"them? |
| 37233 | He was in the confidence of the high priests it seems, can he ever have heard the slightest doubt from them on the subject? |
| 37233 | How again did they know that the hundred and twenty or more brethren were Galilaean? |
| 37233 | How can I declare stocks and stones to be gods?... |
| 37233 | How could Paul use the expression"by the tongue"if he meant a foreign language in v. 2 and elsewhere? |
| 37233 | How could he argue in such a way with the Lord? |
| 37233 | How could the announcement of that event by the angels to the women seem to them as an idle tale, which they did not believe? |
| 37233 | How could this be said if[------] meant merely speaking a foreign language? |
| 37233 | How did Ananias know that Paul had authority from the chief priests to arrest any one? |
| 37233 | How did he get that information? |
| 37233 | How did he who spoke with a tongue edify himself? |
| 37233 | How did the multitude so rapidly know of what was passing in a private house? |
| 37233 | How does this accord with the whole tone of the account in the Acts? |
| 37233 | How often are these inferences correct? |
| 37233 | How then, we may inquire, could two accounts of the same event differ so fundamentally? |
| 37233 | How, and upon what principle, were these singular conditions selected? |
| 37233 | I ask, therefore, for what reason ye sent for me?" |
| 37233 | I)r. Farrar, somewhat pertinently, asks:"Why did they( the disciples) not go to Galilee immediately on receiving our Lord''s message? |
| 37233 | If Paul preached the same Gospel as the rest, what necessity could there have been for communicating it at all? |
| 37233 | If Paul says:"Am I not an apostle? |
| 37233 | If Pilate had already given the order to break the legs, how is it possible he could have marvelled, or acted as he is described in Mark to have done? |
| 37233 | If he was the Messiah could he thus die? |
| 37233 | If miraculous powers of healing existed, why were they not exerted in this case? |
| 37233 | If the Gospel be a power of God unto salvation"to every one that believeth"[------], in what manner can it possibly be so"to the Jew first"? |
| 37233 | If they were exerted and failed for special reasons, why are these not mentioned? |
| 37233 | If this were the case, our information would be further reduced; but supposing that the same Luke is referred to, what does our information amount to? |
| 37233 | If we suppose it to refer to the community of Jerusalem, taking thus the more favourable construction, how would this affect the question? |
| 37233 | In addressing God in some unintelligible jargon, in the utterance of which his understanding has no part? |
| 37233 | In all this, however, is there anything miraculous? |
| 37233 | In employing language, which he does not comprehend, in private prayer and praise? |
| 37233 | In that case, bow can it be supposed that he ever went at all up to Jerusalem to the Apostles and elders about this question? |
| 37233 | In v. 28 he again uses the expression[------], and in a following verse he inquires:"do all speak with tongues"[------](1)"do all interpret"[------]? |
| 37233 | In what does this opposition consist? |
| 37233 | In what language must we suppose that the Epistle was originally written? |
| 37233 | Is it conceivable that he would not relate the circumstance that Jesus breathed upon them, and endowed them with the Holy Ghost? |
| 37233 | Is it conceivable that, if such an episode had ever really occurred, the Apostle Paul would not have referred to it upon this occasion? |
| 37233 | Is it not an extraordinary thing that Paul never mentions Ananias in any of his letters, nor in any way refers to these miracles? |
| 37233 | Is it not reasonable to suppose that they did not form part of his copy? |
| 37233 | Is it permissible to suppose that the Holy Spirit could inspire speech with tongues at an unfitting time? |
| 37233 | Is it possible that he should, to such an audience, have translated the word Acheldamach? |
| 37233 | Is it possible that the vision of the 500, for instance, had escaped the maturing influence of time? |
| 37233 | Is it possible to suppose that Paul really indicated by this expression a distinct order of"miracles"properly so called? |
| 37233 | Is it probable that Jesus appeared twice upon the same evening to the eleven disciples? |
| 37233 | Is not such a gift of tongues more like the confusion of tongues in Babel(1){ 389} than a christian Charisma? |
| 37233 | Is there any appreciable trace of the originality of Paul in his discourses? |
| 37233 | Is this possible? |
| 37233 | Jesus saith unto her: Woman, why weepest thou? |
| 37233 | May we not ask what was the use, in this narrative, of the removal of the stone at all? |
| 37233 | Must we then understand that the dogmas of all religions which have been established must have been objective truths? |
| 37233 | Need we argue that the earthquake(1) is as mythical as the resurrection of the saints? |
| 37233 | Now the first thought which presents itself is: How can a gift which is due to the direct working of the Holy Spirit possibly be abused? |
| 37233 | Now what was the actual operation of this singular miraculous gift, and its utility whether as regards the community or the gifted individual? |
| 37233 | Now why all this mystery? |
| 37233 | Now, therefore, why tempt ye God, to put a yoke upon the neck of the disciples which neither our fathers nor we were able to bear? |
| 37233 | On closer examination, one of the first questions which arises is: how could such a speech have been reported? |
| 37233 | On the other hand, can we suppose that the fourth Evangelist would have ignored the walk to Bethany and the solemn parting there? |
| 37233 | One might ask, indeed, why such an angelic interposition should have taken place? |
| 37233 | Or did they also"ascend into Heaven? |
| 37233 | Or is not this the writer ascribing, according to his view, probable sentiments to them? |
| 37233 | Or must we conclude that the sayings are simply the creation of later tradition? |
| 37233 | Paul, therefore, in saying:"Why compellest thou[------] the Gentiles to adopt the customs of the Jews? |
| 37233 | Reference is frequently made to the passage in the so- called Epistle of James as an illustration of this, v. 14:"Is any sick among you? |
| 37233 | So far, is there and utility in the miracle? |
| 37233 | Sun and moon are made for us: how, therefore, shall I worship my own servants? |
| 37233 | The high priest asks:"Are these things so? |
| 37233 | The high- priest asks him: Are these things so? |
| 37233 | The question is-- does internal evidence confirm or contradict this tradition? |
| 37233 | The question is: Does the Apocalypse contain any reference to the Apostle Paul, or throw light upon the relations between him and the elder Apostles? |
| 37233 | The question, therefore, arises: Was the appearance to Paul of the same character as the former? |
| 37233 | Then answered Peter: Can any one forbid the water that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Spirit as well as we? |
| 37233 | Then are we to suppose that the chief priests and council believed this story of the earthquake and angel, and yet acted in this way? |
| 37233 | Then why not equally so the appearances of Jesus after his passion? |
| 37233 | They say unto her: Woman, why weepest thou? |
| 37233 | Verse 11,[------] Acts 1? |
| 37233 | Was Thomas excluded? |
| 37233 | Was he thus punished for his unbelief? |
| 37233 | Was it not necessary that the Christ should suffer these things, and enter into his glory? |
| 37233 | Was it not needful that the Christ( Messiah) should suffer these things and enter into his glory? |
| 37233 | What amount of evidence would be required before such a statement could be pronounced sufficiently attested? |
| 37233 | What became of Jesus, for instance? |
| 37233 | What could be the object of such a resurrection? |
| 37233 | What do we really know of the phenomena supposed to have characterized the Apostolic age, and which were later, and are now, described as miraculous? |
| 37233 | What doubt that by any means he might be running, or had run, in vain? |
| 37233 | What evidence could be regarded as sufficient to establish the reality of such supposed occurrences? |
| 37233 | What evidence is there that Jesus was seen, or supposed to have been seen, on the third day? |
| 37233 | What impression did the individuals receive? |
| 37233 | What is such belief worth? |
| 37233 | What is the meaning of such a limitation? |
| 37233 | What is the value of this evidence? |
| 37233 | What kind of evidence then are we permitted decorously to require upon so momentous a subject? |
| 37233 | What occurred in the interval between the burial and the supposed apparition? |
| 37233 | What then are these Charismata? |
| 37233 | What then does Paul himself tell us of the circumstances under which he saw Jesus? |
| 37233 | What was it the 500 really saw? |
| 37233 | What was the private utility or advantage of the supernatural gift? |
| 37233 | What weight can we, then, attach to the representation in the Acts of the Apostles of the conversion of Paul? |
| 37233 | What were the"Scriptures,"according to which"Christ died for our sins,"and"has been raised the third day?" |
| 37233 | When Paul says he went up to Jerusalem and communicated"to them"his Gospel, but privately[------], whom does he mean to indicate by the[------]? |
| 37233 | When he has commenced his own public ministry, Jesus is represented as asking his disciples:--"Who do men say that I am?" |
| 37233 | Where could so many as 500 disciples have been collected at one time? |
| 37233 | Where did he get his information regarding the 500 brethren at once? |
| 37233 | Where, however, are the consequences of this marvellous recognition of the Gentiles? |
| 37233 | Whose fault is it that two and two do make four and not five? |
| 37233 | Whose folly is it that it should be more agreeable to think that two and two make five than to know that they only make four? |
| 37233 | Why did he not consort as before with his disciples? |
| 37233 | Why should we suppose that which we can not compare more accurate? |
| 37233 | Why, we may inquire, did Jesus not appear to his{ 550} enemies as well as to his friends? |
| 37233 | Would anyone believe the affirmation that Alfred the Great, for instance, did not die at all? |
| 37233 | Would it have been the view of anyone else if it were not that, so far as any external trace of the decree is concerned, it is an absolute myth? |
| 37233 | and that he who supplies the Spirit"and worketh powers"in them does so? |
| 37233 | and that this is a necessary inference from their wide adoption? |
| 37233 | are all powers[------]? |
| 37233 | are all prophets? |
| 37233 | are all teachers? |
| 37233 | are we better? |
| 37233 | do all interpret?" |
| 37233 | do all interpret[------]?" |
| 37233 | do all speak with tongues[------]? |
| 37233 | have I not seen Jesus our Lord? |
| 37233 | have I not seen Jesus our Lord?" |
| 37233 | have we not rather a paraphrase of the words in the Epistle to the Galatians? |
| 37233 | he continues:"Are ye not my work in the Lord? |
| 37233 | he indignantly exclaims,"have ye not houses to eat and to drink in? |
| 37233 | or am I seeking to please men? |
| 37233 | or despise ye the Church of God?" |
| 37233 | or did he bid Mary farewell, and leave her like one in the flesh? |
| 37233 | or did he remain on earth? |
| 37233 | or doubt that this was simply one of the pious hallucinations which visit those who are in such a state? |
| 37233 | or that of the Eleven? |
| 37233 | or the injunction to remain in Jerusalem? |
| 37233 | or what the profit of circumcision?" |
| 37233 | that is to say: My God, my God, why didst thou forsake me?" |
| 37233 | whither he was going? |
| 37233 | whom seekest thou? |
| 37233 | why make"as though he would go further?" |
| 37233 | why pretend ignorance? |
| 37233 | why were their eyes holden that they should not know him? |
| 38094 | A mistress, for example, who has been arrogant and proud,--does conversion render her humble and gentle? |
| 38094 | According to these contradictory notions concerning the God of the universe, the source of all felicity, is he not really the most wretched of beings? |
| 38094 | After what manner could a pure spirit fecundate this favorite virgin? |
| 38094 | Always so far removed from the weaknesses of your sex, on what account can you blush? |
| 38094 | Am I acquainted with all these laws? |
| 38094 | And how can we feel a hope or even a wish for any object that is undefinable? |
| 38094 | And since the death of his Son, do we find the Christians exempt from disease and from death? |
| 38094 | And to whom was the revelation made? |
| 38094 | And what is it we are told to hope for? |
| 38094 | And what is the language of these priests? |
| 38094 | And, after all, is it our own choice to have faith? |
| 38094 | And, are we then sure we shall obtain that grace, or if we do, merit Heaven? |
| 38094 | Are his judgments always reasonable and wise? |
| 38094 | Are men entirely rescued from the dominion of Satan? |
| 38094 | Are not Christian nations full of knaves of all kinds, who secretly plot the ruin of their fellow- beings? |
| 38094 | Are not all days the same to the Eternal? |
| 38094 | Are our theologians aware of what they say, when they tell us that the fear of God is the fear of a child for its parent, which is mingled with love? |
| 38094 | Are the nations of the earth any happier for their faith, or their blind reliance on priests? |
| 38094 | Are there_ gala_ days in heaven? |
| 38094 | Are they capable of calming the passions, of correcting vices, and of giving virtue to those who most scrupulously observe them? |
| 38094 | Are they more lightly affected by their creed? |
| 38094 | Are they not evidently pernicious to society? |
| 38094 | Are they not still the slaves of sin? |
| 38094 | Are they themselves persecuted? |
| 38094 | Are they themselves sincerely convinced of the existence of a being who unites incompatible qualities which reciprocally exclude the one or the other? |
| 38094 | Are they vividly penetrated with the sentiments of their afflicting and terrible religion? |
| 38094 | Besides, do not the priests sell this permission to the rich, to transgress an injunction the poor must not violate with impunity? |
| 38094 | But are the theologians themselves able to make plain the difficulties which the sacred books present in every page? |
| 38094 | But can the God of the Christians be esteemed a well- bred gentleman? |
| 38094 | But can we possibly conceive that an infinite Being could unite himself with the finite nature of man? |
| 38094 | But did this man whom the Deity has created for his glory faithfully fulfil the wishes of his Creator? |
| 38094 | But do the priests themselves comprehend this ineffable God, whom they announce to other men? |
| 38094 | But does religion give us this assurance? |
| 38094 | But does the Almighty succeed in this new project? |
| 38094 | But has God succeeded in these projects to the end he proposed? |
| 38094 | But how can we be assured of the existence of a being who has none of these qualities? |
| 38094 | But how could the pure Spirit who presides over the universe beget a son? |
| 38094 | But is it necessary, Madam, to insist upon this? |
| 38094 | But is this theology itself useful to nations? |
| 38094 | But then has Satan himself incurred the disgrace of the All- powerful? |
| 38094 | But to conform one''s self to these rules, is it not necessary to have grace from Heaven? |
| 38094 | But to what advantage can this pretended virtue lead its followers? |
| 38094 | But what advantage can it be to God to heap on the damned everlasting torments? |
| 38094 | But what encouragement, what support, what consolation can be imparted to the mind from these undefined and undefinable shadows? |
| 38094 | But what is an immaterial spirit? |
| 38094 | But what is it the priests tell us of God? |
| 38094 | But what is this_ faith?_ It is to adhere, without examination, to what the priests tell us. |
| 38094 | But what think you, Madam, of such reasonings? |
| 38094 | But who is it that assures us the church can not and will not deceive us? |
| 38094 | But who would provide for a country that abandoned every thing else, for the purpose of heavenly contemplations? |
| 38094 | But why did God create man? |
| 38094 | But will he not seek repose when he is fatigued by the labor of his hands? |
| 38094 | But, in attending this memorable judgment, what will become of the souls of men, separated from their bodies, which have not yet been resuscitated? |
| 38094 | By meditating on the mysteries which they contain, have they given us ideas more plain of the intentions of the Divinity? |
| 38094 | By what forfeit has he merited becoming the eternal object of the anger of that God who created him? |
| 38094 | Can there be any thing, then, more strange than the conduct of the great majority of men? |
| 38094 | Can these examples of the divine severity be of any service to those on earth, who witness not their friends in hell? |
| 38094 | Can we believe just what we please? |
| 38094 | Can we think that he exists, without reasoning on that existence? |
| 38094 | Can you find reason, equity, or humanity in the vexations, imprisonments, and exiles that in our days are inflicted upon the Jansenists? |
| 38094 | Did he not know that his Creator was all- powerful? |
| 38094 | Did his fellow- citizens concede to this great miracle, and have they at length acknowledged him? |
| 38094 | Do all the mysterious practices of the priests produce any real good? |
| 38094 | Do not his passions drive him to excesses unknown to the other animals? |
| 38094 | Do not the most ostensibly credulous persons indulge in an infinity of vices for which they would blush if they were by chance brought to light? |
| 38094 | Do the persons so touched by grace become better? |
| 38094 | Do the priests not repeat to us, without ceasing, that God is the author of grace, and that he only gives it to a small number of the elect? |
| 38094 | Do they find that superstitious practices are lucrative to themselves? |
| 38094 | Do they find themselves in the happy impossibility of kindling the divine wrath? |
| 38094 | Do they make amends for the evil they have done, or are they heartily and generously engaged in doing good to those by whom they are surrounded? |
| 38094 | Do they not hold the conduct of those very unjust, and very cruel, who happen to have the misfortune of not thinking and doing as they think and act? |
| 38094 | Do those who are reclaimed, those to whom he has made himself known, those who believe, offend not against heaven? |
| 38094 | Do we desire the continuation of this existence, because it may be blessed and happy, or because we know not what may become of us? |
| 38094 | Do we see any thing useful in the pious endowments of our ancestors? |
| 38094 | Do you not perceive, Madam, the striking contradictions of those principles which, nevertheless, form the basis of all revealed religions? |
| 38094 | Do you not see, in fact, the excesses to which fanaticism and zeal drive the wisest and best meaning men? |
| 38094 | Does it depend upon ourselves not to think a proposition absurd which our understanding shows us to be absurd? |
| 38094 | Does it tend to make reasonable, courageous, and virtuous citizens? |
| 38094 | Does not annihilation itself present to us an idea preferable to that of an existence which may very easily lead us to eternal tortures? |
| 38094 | Does not experience constantly show us that religion effects changes of this kind? |
| 38094 | Does not your compassionate soul experience at every moment the delightful satisfaction of solacing the unhappy? |
| 38094 | Does the dissipated and licentious woman repair by her vigilant cares the wrongs that her disorders and dissipations have occasioned? |
| 38094 | Does the robber return to society the property of which he has plundered it? |
| 38094 | Does the unjust and cruel man recompense those to whom he has done evil? |
| 38094 | Ever since Christianity has been adopted by some nations, have we not seen that religion has almost entirely occupied the attention of sovereigns? |
| 38094 | For if God knows all, what need is there to remind him of the wants of his creatures whom he loves? |
| 38094 | Has he committed injustice, violence, and rapine? |
| 38094 | Has he remorse? |
| 38094 | Has the Deity, who ought, without doubt, to be perfectly satisfied with so memorable a sacrifice, remitted to them the punishment of sin? |
| 38094 | Has the Son of God made his Father perfectly known to us? |
| 38094 | Has the blood of the Son of God washed away the sins of the whole world? |
| 38094 | Has the church, perpetually boasting of the light she diffuses among men, become more fixed and certain, to do away our uncertainty? |
| 38094 | Have the successors of Moses transmitted to us ideas more clear, more sensible, more comprehensible of the Divinity? |
| 38094 | Have they just ideas of him? |
| 38094 | Have, we, then, any right to hate and to exterminate them? |
| 38094 | How came this angel of light so blind as not to see the folly of such an enterprise? |
| 38094 | How can I be certain that he who professes to be inspired by the Divinity does not promulgate his own reveries or impostures as the oracles of heaven? |
| 38094 | How can a man of sense and integrity despise himself? |
| 38094 | How can an infinite Being communicate with those which are finite? |
| 38094 | How can it reckon on the favors of a God full of caprice, who it alternately informs us is replete with tenderness or with hatred? |
| 38094 | How can priests incessantly speak to us of things of which they, at the same time, acknowledge it is impossible for us to form any ideas? |
| 38094 | How can we deduce our duties from the lessons of the priests of a God of peace, who, nevertheless, breathes only sedition, vengeance, and carnage? |
| 38094 | How can we know when we do the will of a God who has said,_ Thou shalt not kill_, and who yet allows his people to exterminate whole nations? |
| 38094 | How could a just God consent that a God exempt from all sin should endure the chastisements which are due to sinners? |
| 38094 | How could a pure spirit render himself sensible? |
| 38094 | How could his imperfect mind be formed on the model of a mind possessing all perfection, like that which we suppose in the Creator of the universe? |
| 38094 | How could man, who is at least partly material, represent a pure spirit, which excludes all matter? |
| 38094 | How could we avoid receiving, in our infancy, whatever impressions and opinions our teachers and relations chose to implant in us? |
| 38094 | How do they reason upon a dogma, and quarrel with acrimony about a system of which even themselves can comprehend nothing? |
| 38094 | How shall I assure myself that he does not deceive me? |
| 38094 | I appeal to yourself, Madam, whether these sublime notions have- any thing consoling in them? |
| 38094 | I therefore inquire, What is a miracle? |
| 38094 | If God be infinitely wise, how can folly and imbecility be pleasing to him? |
| 38094 | If God can do all things, if he is privy to all the thoughts and actions of men, what need has he of any proofs? |
| 38094 | If God is a father full of tenderness and goodness, is it necessary to ask him to"give us day by day our daily bread"? |
| 38094 | If God is offended with us, will he not reject prayers which insult his goodness, his justice, and infinite wisdom? |
| 38094 | If he be omnipotent, can he not modify the minds of his creatures according to his own will? |

| 30203 | Of what use then was the bribe? |
| 30203 | Or does he mean that the"sects"comprise all persons who have more theology than himself? |
| 30203 | Or has the spirit of this sceptical age invaded the clerical ranks so thoroughly as to make them ashamed of their printed doctrines? |
| 30203 | Or is the stomach of a ghost capable of digesting such victuals? |

| 621 | How are we to conceive,Principal Caird writes,"of the reality in which all intelligence rests?" |
| 621 | How does it work when we thus anticipate God by going our own way? 621 I then closed my eyes for a few minutes, and seemed to be refreshed with sleep; and when I awoke, the first inquiry was, Where is my God? |
| 621 | Is there, then,our author continues,"no solution of the contradiction between the ideal and the actual? |
| 621 | It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do?--deeper than hell; what canst thou know? |
| 621 | She burst out weeping, and said,''O Richard, what made you fight?'' 621 The spiritual life,"he writes,"justifies itself to those who live it; but what can we say to those who do not understand? |
| 621 | What for? |
| 621 | What is the answer which Jesus sends to John the Baptist? |
| 621 | What shall I think of it? |
| 621 | Wherefore? |
| 621 | ''And where shall I do that, Lord?'' |
| 621 | ''But,''said I,''is that possible?'' |
| 621 | ''Some one ought to do it, but why should I?'' |
| 621 | ''Some one ought to do it, so why not I?'' |
| 621 | ''What is it that is finished?'' |
| 621 | ''Why,''I asked of myself,''does the author use these terms? |
| 621 | ( 328) Ought it to be assumed that in all men the mixture of religion with other elements should be identical? |

| 621 | --"How did I come to be? |
| 621 | ------------------------------------- What shall we now say of the attributes called moral? |
| 621 | ------------------------------------- What, now, must we ourselves think of this question? |
| 621 | --or shall we do so with enthusiastic assent? |
| 621 | ..."Why does man go out to look for a God?... |
| 621 | ; Brainerd''s, 212; Alline''s, 217; Oxford graduate''s, 221; Ratisbonne''s, 223; instantaneous, 227; is it a natural phenomenon? |
| 621 | ?_ A. |
| 621 | After this distinct revelation had stood for some little time before my mind, the question seemed to be put,''Will you accept it now, to- day?'' |
| 621 | After this, with difficulty I got to sleep; and when I awoke in the morning my first thoughts were: What has become of my happiness? |
| 621 | Again, are men the factors of some dream, the dream- like unsubstantiality of which they comprehend at such eventful moments? |
| 621 | And how should I have cried, since I was swooning with happiness within? |
| 621 | And if it be so, how can any possible judge or critic help being biased in favor of the religion by which his own needs are best met? |
| 621 | And in what form should we conceive of that"union"with it of which religious geniuses are so convinced? |
| 621 | And it being said to her in the going out,_ Where is thy faith? |
| 621 | And second, What is its importance, meaning, or significance, now that it is once here? |
| 621 | And second, ought we to consider the testimony true? |
| 621 | And what could it matter, if all propositions were practically indifferent, which of them we should agree to call true or which false? |
| 621 | And what had they exactly in their several individual minds, when they delivered their utterances? |
| 621 | And what then? |
| 621 | And why may not religion be a conception equally complex? |
| 621 | Are the men of this world right, or are the saints in possession of the deeper range of truth? |
| 621 | Are there not hereabouts some points of application for a renovated and revised ascetic discipline? |
| 621 | Are you any more prepared for heaven, or fitter to appear before the impartial bar of God, than when you first began to seek? |
| 621 | Are you any nearer to conversion now than when you first began? |
| 621 | At once I replied,''Will you take the desire away?'' |
| 621 | But I can not keep myself from being either crazy or an idiot; and, as things are, from whom should I ask pity? |
| 621 | But do you wish, Lord, that I should inclose in poor and barren words sentiments which the heart alone can understand?" |
| 621 | But how came I, then, to this perception of it? |
| 621 | But in all seriousness, can such bald animal talk as that be treated as a rational answer? |
| 621 | But make a mother of her, and what have you? |
| 621 | But now, I ask you, how can such an existential account of facts of mental history decide in one way or another upon their spiritual significance? |
| 621 | But the idea of him, I said, how did I ever come by the idea? |
| 621 | But verily, how stands it with her arguments? |
| 621 | But what matters it in the end whether we call such a state of mind religious or not? |
| 621 | But why in the name of common sense need we assume that only one such system of ideas can be true? |
| 621 | Can modern idealism give faith a better warrant, or must she still rely on her poor self for witness? |
| 621 | Can philosophy stamp a warrant of veracity upon the religious man''s sense of the divine? |
| 621 | Can things whose end is always dust and disappointment be the real goods which our souls require? |
| 621 | Can you believe it? |
| 621 | Did I stop to ask a single question? |
| 621 | Did he not love me? |
| 621 | Do mystical states establish the truth of those theological affections in which the saintly life has its root? |
| 621 | Do they deduce a new spiritual judgment from their new doctrine of existential conditions? |
| 621 | Do they frankly forbid us to admire the productions of genius from now onwards? |
| 621 | Do we accept it only in part and grudgingly, or heartily and altogether? |
| 621 | Do you not blush with shame at wishing that a knife should be your master? |
| 621 | Does God really exist? |
| 621 | Does it act, as well as exist? |
| 621 | Does it furnish any_ warrant for the truth_ of the twice- bornness and supernaturality and pantheism which it favors? |
| 621 | Does this temperamental origin diminish the significance of the sudden conversion when it has occurred? |
| 621 | Everything in me awoke and received a meaning.... Why do I look farther? |
| 621 | Finney, what ails you?'' |
| 621 | First of all, then, I ask, What does the expression"mystical states of consciousness"mean? |
| 621 | First, is there, under all the discrepancies of the creeds, a common nucleus to which they bear their testimony unanimously? |
| 621 | First, what is the nature of it? |
| 621 | For what seriousness can possibly remain in debating philosophic propositions that will never make an appreciable difference to us in action? |
| 621 | Had I not found my God and my Father? |
| 621 | Had he not called me? |
| 621 | Has he made religion universal by coercive reasoning, transformed it from a private faith into a public certainty? |
| 621 | Has he rescued its affirmations from obscurity and mystery? |
| 621 | Has science made too wide a claim? |
| 621 | Have I not said the state is utterly beyond words?" |
| 621 | He came and, placing his hand upon my shoulder, said:''Do you not want to give your heart to God?'' |
| 621 | He then said,''Are you in pain?'' |
| 621 | How can I learn aught when naught I know? |
| 621 | How can the devotee show his loyalty better than by sensitiveness in this regard? |
| 621 | How do we part off mystical states from other states? |
| 621 | How does he exist? |
| 621 | How is success to be absolutely measured when there are so many environments and so many ways of looking at the adaptation? |
| 621 | How should you know their true nature, since one knows only what one can comprehend? |
| 621 | How, then, should we_ act_ on these facts? |
| 621 | How_ can_ you measure their worth without considering whether the God really exists who is supposed to inspire them? |
| 621 | I ask you, what is human life? |
| 621 | I asked them what place that was? |
| 621 | I feel the pressure of his hand, I feel something else which fills me with a serene joy; shall I dare to speak it out? |
| 621 | I halted but a moment, and then, with a breaking heart, I said,''Dear Jesus, can you help me?'' |
| 621 | I now turn to my second question: What is the objective"truth"of their content? |
| 621 | I say God, but why? |
| 621 | If I, being a wretch and damned sinner, could be redeemed by any other price, what needed the Son of God to be given? |
| 621 | If it did not, wherein would its superiority consist? |
| 621 | If one with Omnipotence, how can weariness enter the consciousness, how illness assail that indomitable spark? |
| 621 | If so, in what shape does it exist? |
| 621 | If the inner dispositions are right, we ask, what need of all this torment, this violation of the outer nature? |
| 621 | If the natural world is so double- faced and unhomelike, what world, what thing is real? |
| 621 | If we are sick souls, we require a religion of deliverance; but why think so much of deliverance, if we are healthy- minded? |
| 621 | If we can not explain physical light, how can we explain the light which is the truth itself? |
| 621 | If we were to ask the question:"What is human life''s chief concern?" |
| 621 | If, then, the entire work is finished, all the debt paid, what remains for me to do?'' |
| 621 | In other words, is the existence of so many religious types and sects and creeds regrettable? |
| 621 | In our own attitude, not yet abandoned, of impartial onlookers, what are we to say of this quarrel? |
| 621 | In the healthiest and most prosperous existence, how many links of illness, danger, and disaster are always interposed? |
| 621 | In the mean time while thus exercised, a thought arose in my mind, what can it mean? |
| 621 | In what facts does it result? |
| 621 | Into what definite description can these words be translated, and for what definite facts do they stand? |
| 621 | Is an instantaneous conversion a miracle in which God is present as he is present in no change of heart less strikingly abrupt? |
| 621 | Is it necessary, some of you have asked, as one example after another came before us, to be quite so fantastically good as that? |
| 621 | Is it not surprising that health exists at all? |
| 621 | Is it possible that I, in that moment, felt what some of the saints have said they always felt, the undemonstrable but irrefragable certainty of God? |
| 621 | Is not it a maimed happiness-- care and weariness, weariness and care, with the baseless expectation, the strange cozenage of a brighter to- morrow? |
| 621 | Is not its blessedness a fragile fiction? |
| 621 | Is not your joy in it a very vulgar glee, not much unlike the snicker of any rogue at his success? |
| 621 | Is such a"more"merely our own notion, or does it really exist? |
| 621 | Is the saint''s type or the strong- man''s type the more ideal? |
| 621 | Is there in life any purpose which the inevitable death which awaits me does not undo and destroy? |
| 621 | May not voluntarily accepted poverty be"the strenuous life,"without the need of crushing weaker peoples? |
| 621 | Of what I shall do to- morrow? |
| 621 | Oh, happy child, what should I do? |
| 621 | Or how does it assist me to plan my behavior, to know that his happiness is anyhow absolutely complete? |
| 621 | Or is dogmatic or scholastic theology less doubted in point of fact for claiming, as it does, to be in point of right undoubtable? |
| 621 | Ought all men to have the same religion? |
| 621 | Ought it, indeed, to be assumed that the lives of all men should show identical religious elements? |
| 621 | Ought they to approve the same fruits and follow the same leadings? |
| 621 | Ought we not, whether we dig or plough or eat, to sing this hymn to God? |
| 621 | Pray, what specific act can I perform in order to adapt myself the better to God''s simplicity? |
| 621 | Religion, whatever it is, is a man''s total reaction upon life, so why not say that any total reaction upon life is a religion? |
| 621 | Severed like cobwebs, broken like bubbles in the sun--"Wo sind die Sorge nun und Noth Die mich noch gestern wollt''erschlaffen? |
| 621 | She asked always earnestly,''When shall I be perfectly thine, O my God?'' |
| 621 | Should we not love it; should we not feel buoyed up by the Eternal Arms?" |
| 621 | So what good will it do you to think all your lives,''Oh, I have done evil, I have made many mistakes''? |
| 621 | The mere possibility of producing milk from grass, cheese from milk, and wool from skins; who formed and planned it? |
| 621 | The poet says, Dear City of Cecrops; and wilt thou not say, Dear City of Zeus? |
| 621 | The question, What are the religious propensities? |
| 621 | The questions"Why?" |
| 621 | The subject of Saintliness left us face to face with the question, Is the sense of divine presence a sense of anything objectively true? |
| 621 | The whole feud revolves essentially upon two pivots: Shall the seen world or the unseen world be our chief sphere of adaptation? |
| 621 | Then I flung myself on the ground, and at last awoke covered with blood, calling to the two surgeons( who were frightened),''Why did you not kill me? |
| 621 | Then there crept in upon me so gently, so lovingly, so unmistakably, a way of escape, and what was it after all? |
| 621 | Then what was to me an audible voice said:''Are you willing to give up everything to the Lord?'' |
| 621 | There was a sincerity about this man that carried conviction with it, and I found myself saying,''I wonder if God can save_ me_?'' |
| 621 | These questions"Why?" |
| 621 | They drew the cord tight with all their strength and asked me,''Does it hurt you?'' |
| 621 | Thy cowl, thy shaven crown, thy chastity, thy obedience, thy poverty, thy works, thy merits? |
| 621 | To the believer in moralism and works, with his anxious query,"What shall I do to be saved?" |
| 621 | To what psychological order do they belong? |
| 621 | Under just what biographic conditions did the sacred writers bring forth their various contributions to the holy volume? |
| 621 | Under what form will this fear crush me? |
| 621 | Was there not a Church into which I might enter?... |
| 621 | We are It already; how to know It?" |
| 621 | Well, how is it with these fruits? |
| 621 | Well, what did I do? |
| 621 | What are we to think of all this? |
| 621 | What can be more base and unworthy than the pining, puling, mumping mood, no matter by what outward ills it may have been engendered? |
| 621 | What could I do? |
| 621 | What have I done to deserve this excess of severity? |
| 621 | What is he? |
| 621 | What is it, indeed, that keeps existence exfoliating? |
| 621 | What is its cash- value in terms of particular experience? |
| 621 | What is more injurious to others? |
| 621 | What is the particular truth in question_ known as_? |
| 621 | What less helpful as a way out of the difficulty? |
| 621 | What may the practical fruits for life have been, of such movingly happy conversions as those we heard of? |
| 621 | What more have we to say now than God said from the whirlwind over two thousand five hundred years ago? |
| 621 | What must I do to please thee? |
| 621 | What single- handed man was ever on the whole as successful as Luther? |
| 621 | What then must the person do? |
| 621 | What will be the outcome of all my life? |
| 621 | What will be the outcome of what I do to- day? |
| 621 | What would happen if the final stage of the trance were reached? |
| 621 | When I came to him he burst into tears and said:''Richard, will you forgive me for striking you?'' |
| 621 | When I waked in the morning, the first thought would be, Oh, my wretched soul, what shall I do, where shall I go? |
| 621 | When S. had finished his prayer and was turning to sleep, the brother said,''Do you still keep up that thing?'' |
| 621 | When could it be evil when thou wert near? |
| 621 | When such a conquering optimist as Goethe can express himself in this wise, how must it be with less successful men? |
| 621 | When we think certain states of mind superior to others, is it ever because of what we know concerning their organic antecedents? |
| 621 | Whence am I? |
| 621 | Wherefore did I come? |
| 621 | Why are twice two four? |
| 621 | Why can I not write down the inconceivable influences, consolations, and peace which I felt interiorly? |
| 621 | Why do n''t you manage it somehow?" |
| 621 | Why does he not say"the atoning work"?'' |
| 621 | Why not simply leave pathological questions out? |
| 621 | Why regret a philosophy of evil, a mind- curer would ask us, if I can put you in possession of a life of good? |
| 621 | Why should I do anything? |
| 621 | Why should I live? |
| 621 | Why then not call these reactions our religion, no matter what specific character they may have? |
| 621 | Why would you not let me die?'' |
| 621 | Will you be the slave of a knife or the slave of Jesus Christ? |
| 621 | Would martyrs have sung in the flames for a mere inference, however inevitable it might be? |
| 621 | Yet he finds himself forced to write:--"What right have we to believe Nature under any obligation to do her work by means of complete minds only? |
| 621 | Yet how believe as the common people believe, steeped as they are in grossest superstition? |
| 621 | You have been seeking, praying, reforming, laboring, reading, hearing, and meditating, and what have you done by it towards your salvation? |
| 621 | _ Have you had any experiences which appeared providential?_ A. |
| 621 | _ Je m''en fiche_ is the vulgar French equivalent for our English ejaculation"Who cares?" |
| 621 | _ Things are wrong with them_; and"What shall I do to be clear, right, sound, whole, well?" |
| 621 | _ What does Religion mean to you?_ A. |
| 621 | _ What is your notion of sin?_ A. |
| 621 | _ What is your temperament?_ A. |
| 621 | _ What things work most strongly on your emotions?_ A. Lively songs and music; Pinafore instead of an Oratorio. |
| 621 | a common person says to himself about a vexed question; but in a"cranky"mind"What must I do about it?" |
| 621 | and in what proportion may it need to be restrained by other elements, to give the proper balance? |
| 621 | and must our means of adaptation in this seen world be aggressiveness or non- resistance? |
| 621 | and say outright that no neuropath can ever be a revealer of new truth? |
| 621 | and the question, What is their philosophic significance? |
| 621 | and"What next?" |
| 621 | how did it come about? |
| 621 | in a penny?_ she threw it away, begging pardon of God for her fault, and saying,''No, Lord, my faith is not in a penny, but in thee alone.'' |
| 621 | until this came:''Why do you not accept it_ now_?'' |
| 621 | what is its constitution, origin, and history? |
| 621 | what shall I do now?'' |
| 621 | what shall I do?'' |
| 621 | what shall all these do? |
| 621 | what shall the law of Moses avail? |
| 38801 | All right; why wo n''t you burn me? |
| 38801 | And suppose God was about to pass judgment upon you, what would you say? |
| 38801 | And yet you worship a God who will, as you declare, punish me forever? |
| 38801 | And you are perfectly happy? |
| 38801 | Did you get any? |
| 38801 | Do you think it divinely inspired? |
| 38801 | He said unto him, which? 38801 How much?" |
| 38801 | Maybe you will chew something? |
| 38801 | Now, when we are only going to hell, you are not quite happy; but when we are in hell, and you in heaven, then you will be perfectly happy? 38801 Then the reason you do not persecute me for my thought is that you believe it would be infamous in you?" |
| 38801 | Well, then, you are not perfectly happy? |
| 38801 | What did you do with that dollar I gave you last week? |
| 38801 | What did you do with that? |
| 38801 | What did you do with the meat? |
| 38801 | What did you do with this money? |
| 38801 | What do you propose in place of this? |
| 38801 | What else did you find upon the dead man? |
| 38801 | What for? |
| 38801 | When you get to heaven, then you will be perfectly happy? |
| 38801 | Why? |
| 38801 | Will you smoke a cigar? |
| 38801 | Would not you be happier if they were all going to heaven? |
| 38801 | A minister asks me,"Did you read the Bible?" |
| 38801 | A tyrant father will have liars for his children; do you know that? |
| 38801 | According to his creed? |
| 38801 | Admitting that a god did create the universe, the question then arises, of what did he create it? |
| 38801 | After all, can you get beyond, above or below appearances? |
| 38801 | And he said unto him,''Why callest thou me good? |
| 38801 | And the child said to the Almighty:"Which?" |
| 38801 | And we took all his cities, and utterly destroyed the men, and the women, and the little ones, of every city, we left none to remain"? |
| 38801 | And what does a trial for heresy mean? |
| 38801 | And why? |
| 38801 | Are the Christian nations patterns of charity and forbearance? |
| 38801 | Are the clergy, as a class, better, kinder and more generous to their families-- to their fellow- men-- than doctors, lawyers, merchants and farmers? |
| 38801 | Are the theologians welcomers of new truths? |
| 38801 | Are they investigators? |
| 38801 | Are they noted for their candor? |
| 38801 | Are you really familiar with chemistry, and can you account for the loves and hatreds of the atoms? |
| 38801 | But what put all this matter in motion? |
| 38801 | But what shall I say more, for the time would fail me to tell of Sabellianism, of a"Modal Trinity,"and the"Eternal Procession of the Holy Ghost"? |
| 38801 | But what was the voice of one man against the terrible cry of ignorant, infatuated, superstitious and malevolent millions? |
| 38801 | But"What must we do to be saved from the eternal wrath of the God who made us all?" |
| 38801 | By what right does a man, or an organization of men, or a god, claim to hold a brain in bondage? |
| 38801 | Can that tongue be palsied by a presbytery that praises a self- denying and heroic life? |
| 38801 | Can the believing father in heaven be happy with his unbelieving children in hell? |
| 38801 | Can the conduct of infinite wisdom, power and love ever change? |
| 38801 | Can the loving wife in heaven be happy with her unbelieving husband in hell?" |
| 38801 | Can we hope with the story of Daniel in the lions''den to rival the stupendous miracles of India? |
| 38801 | Can we see the propriety of so constructing the earth, that only an insignificant portion of its surface is capable of producing an intelligent man? |
| 38801 | Can you account for molecular action? |
| 38801 | Can you believe that such directions were given by any being except an infinite fiend? |
| 38801 | Can you explain it better than you can the production of thought? |

| 45068 | For two thousand years no one has either seen or heard Jesus? |
| 45068 | In my hand I hold the notice of a publication bearing the title_ Is Jesus a Myth? 45068 Is he, then, dead?" |
| 45068 | Is it possible,I asked,"that all this is pure fabrication, a fantasy of the brain, as unsubstantial as the air? |
| 45068 | Mightyhe was, but we ask again, was he mighty in a noble sense? |
| 45068 | The whole world celebrates annually the nativity of Jesus; how could there be a Christmas celebration if there never was a Christ? |

| 45068 | What is this I see before me? |
| 45068 | What was that? |
| 45068 | Will he not be here this morning? 45068 Would not that, then,"I ventured to ask, impatiently,"make Jesus as much of an idol as Apollo? |
| 45068 | _ Why then, did not Jesus explain that important_ proviso_ when he made the promise? 45068 ** If Jupiter can have, Justin Martyr seems to reason, half a dozen divine sons, why can not Jehovah have at least one? 45068 1908 years after what? 45068 ANSWER: How long wasthe time from the opening of Jesus''public career until the time that it closed?" |
| 45068 | Again, why do these biographers of Jesus give us the genealogy of Joseph if he was not the father of Jesus? |
| 45068 | And can we by voting for Jesus make him a God? |
| 45068 | And how can it be introduced among the Gentiles without a knowledge of the doctrines and works of its founder? |
| 45068 | And how does he do it? |
| 45068 | And if, as the professor says,"reason is born of reason,"how did the first reason come? |
| 45068 | And shall we speak of the bigotry, the fanaticism, the bitter sectarian prejudices which to this day embitter the life of the world? |
| 45068 | And what gave the disciples this supposed"precedent conviction?" |
| 45068 | And what was Adam''s sin? |
| 45068 | And what was the statement which, while it crippled his memory, it did not moderate his zeal? |
| 45068 | And when did the event take place? |
| 45068 | And which''four''does the clergyman accept as doubtlessly"genuine?" |
| 45068 | And who can number the bitter disappointments caused by such impossible promises? |

| 45068 | And why are these Gospels anonymous? |
| 45068 | And why can not Dr. Adler be a monist? |
| 45068 | And, if faith that Jesus is a god proves him a god, why will not faith in Apollo make him a god? |

| 45068 | Aside from the fact that the Jesus of Paul is essentially a different Jesus from the gospel Jesus there still remains the question, Who is Paul? |
| 45068 | Besides, could anything be more mythical than a righteousness which can only be imputed to us,--any righteousness of our own being but"filthy rags?" |
| 45068 | But do_ you_ see them, too, because I see them? |
| 45068 | But how can any amount of evidence satisfy one''s self that Jesus was born of a virgin, for instance? |
| 45068 | But if a faith which ignores evidence be not a superstition, what then is superstition? |
| 45068 | But if he knew all these things about Jesus, is it possible that he could go through the world preaching Christ without ever once referring to them? |
| 45068 | But if the''Christ''which the Hebrews expected was"purely mythical,"what makes the same''Christ''in the supposed Tacitus passage historical? |
| 45068 | But if there is"some ultimate fount of being,"to which our"highest"nature"can be traced,"whence did our lower nature come? |
| 45068 | But if they believed he was God, would they try to kill him? |
| 45068 | But is it true that the Christmas celebration proves a historical Jesus? |
| 45068 | But is that any evidence for you or me? |
| 45068 | But is that any proof that what he saw we could see also? |
| 45068 | But is that any reason why the attending physician, his pulse normal and his brow cool, should believe that the room is filling up with assassins? |
| 45068 | But our clerical neighbor from Oak Park has one more argument:"Why is Sunday observed instead of Saturday?" |
| 45068 | But the question is, does a teacher suppress the facts? |
| 45068 | But was Calvin"mighty"in a beneficent sense? |
| 45068 | But was Jesus the only one, or even the first to offer himself as a sacrifice upon the altar of humanity? |
| 45068 | But what has the reception which publicans and sinners might give Jesus to do with how_ the churches_ would receive him? |
| 45068 | But what is meant by salvation? |
| 45068 | But what is that but another kind of argument? |
| 45068 | But where is the Jesus to correspond to this rhetorical language? |
| 45068 | But why seek truths that are not pleasant? |
| 45068 | But_ who_ guarantees Paul? |
| 45068 | Can you conceive of anything more mythical than that? |
| 45068 | Can you hear me? |
| 45068 | Clapping truth into jail; gagging the mouth of the student-- is that building up or tearing down? |
| 45068 | Could Paul really have left out of his ministry so essential a chapter from the life of Jesus, had he been acquainted with it? |
| 45068 | Could anything be more fanciful than that? |
| 45068 | Could he not have_ said_ just what he_ meant_, in the first place? |
| 45068 | Could slavery ever strike a deeper bottom than that? |
| 45068 | Could they have been in a conspiracy against him? |
| 45068 | Critics have discovered mistakes in Darwin and Haeckel, but are these mistakes of such a nature as to prove fatal to the theory of evolution? |
| 45068 | Did Jesus show gratitude to the past when he denounced all who had preceded him in the field of love and labor as"thieves and robbers?" |
| 45068 | Did ever a Roman court witness such a trial? |
| 45068 | Did he not mean just what he said? |
| 45068 | Did his power save people from the Protestant inquisition? |
| 45068 | Did it cost Jesus any effort to perform miracles? |
| 45068 | Did it imply a sacrifice on his part to utilize a small measure of his_ infinite_ power for the good of man? |
| 45068 | Did the priests of Baal or Moloch prove that these beings existed? |
| 45068 | Do we know of any good reason, when it comes to religion, why Asia should be incomparably superior to anything Europe has produced in that line? |
| 45068 | Do we mean to say that the jelly- fish, the creeping worm, or the bud on the tree has reason? |
| 45068 | Do you not think that if he had done this, it would then have been impossible to deny his resurrection? |
| 45068 | Does he believe that there are two eternal sources, from one of which we get our bodies, and from the other our"rational side?" |

| 45068 | Does it justify hasty language? |

| 45068 | Evolution is our destiny; of what use is it, then, to take up arms against destiny? |
| 45068 | From what teaching or saying of Jesus does he infer his respect for the rights of posterity? |
| 45068 | Had not England rendered innumerable services to the colony? |
| 45068 | Had the blind, and the lame, and the deaf, remained altogether neglected before Jesus took compassion upon them? |
| 45068 | Had the dead never been raised before? |
| 45068 | Has Christ after two thousand years abolished war? |
| 45068 | Has Jesus healed the world of the maladies for which we blame the Pagan world? |
| 45068 | Has Jesus kept his promise? |
| 45068 | Has any of you known him for more than three years? |
| 45068 | Has he broken the yoke of superstition and priest- craft? |
| 45068 | Has he even succeeded in uniting into one loving fold his own disciples? |

| 45068 | Have these prayers been answered? |

| 45068 | Have they not brought Russia up to her present size, population and political influence in Europe? |
| 45068 | Have they not rendered any services to their countrymen? |
| 45068 | Have you ever noticed that the day on which Jesus is supposed to have died falls invariably on a Friday? |
| 45068 | Have you ever paused to think of the purport of this piece of Orientalism? |
| 45068 | Have you heard him? |

| 45068 | IS CHRISTIANITY REAL? |
| 45068 | IS JESUS A MYTH? |
| 45068 | IS THE WORLD INDEBTED TO CHRISTIANITY? |
| 45068 | If Jesus as a God opened the eyes of the blind, would it not have been kinder if he had prevented blindness altogether? |
| 45068 | If Jesus can open the eyes of the blind, then, why is there blindness in the world? |
| 45068 | If Jesus died for us, how many thousands have died for him-- and by infinitely more cruel deaths? |
| 45068 | If Paul visited Athens and preached from Mars Hill, how is it that there is no mention of him or of his strange Gospel in the Athenian chronicles? |
| 45068 | If Peter ever went to Rome with a new doctrine, how is it that no historian has taken note of him? |
| 45068 | If a Russian is not permitted to choose his own religion, will he be permitted to choose his own form of government? |
| 45068 | If a charcoal can be transformed into a diamond, why may not nature, with the resources of infinity at her command, refine a stone into a soul? |
| 45068 | If a slave of the church, why may he not be also a slave of the state? |
| 45068 | If he can save at all, pray, why not save all? |
| 45068 | If he is in the habit of bending his knees, what difference does it make to how many or to whom he bends them? |
| 45068 | If he will allow a priest to impose his religion upon him, why may he not permit the Czar to impose despotism upon him? |
| 45068 | If it is wrong for him to question the tenets of his religion, is it not equally wrong for him to discuss the laws of his government? |
| 45068 | If it is, what shall we think of a man who thought he was a god and could raise the dead? |
| 45068 | If matter can feel, can see, can hear, can it not also think? |
| 45068 | If so, why are_ you_ trying to convert them? |
| 45068 | If that is what he meant, why did he say something else? |
| 45068 | If there was ample evidence for the historicity of Jesus, why did his biographers resort to forgery? |
| 45068 | If they were originally written in Hebrew, how can we tell that the Greek translation is accurate, since we can not compare it with the originals? |
| 45068 | If we are to have any mythology at all, he seems to argue, why object to adding to it the mythus of Jesus? |
| 45068 | If we followed these teachings, would not our industrial and social life sink at once to the level of the stagnating Asiatics? |
| 45068 | If what I will say is the truth, do you know of any good reason why I should not say it? |
| 45068 | If"life is born of life,"where did the first life come from? |
| 45068 | In Rome, the Jews were free to be Jews; why should the Jewish Christians-- and the early Christians were Jews-- have been thrown to the lions? |
| 45068 | In a speech which is put into the mouth of Paul"--_put into the mouth of Paul!_ Is this another instance of forgery? |
| 45068 | In the name of what other prophets have more people been burned at the stake than in the names of Jesus and Moses? |
| 45068 | In what sense is Jesus a god, while all his rivals were"mere men,"if he is as helpless to prevent the abuse of his teachings as they were? |
| 45068 | Indeed, how could a teacher who said,"He that believeth not shall be damned,"he described as recognizing the rights of future generations? |
| 45068 | Is Dr. Adler, then, a dualist? |
| 45068 | Is Jesus a myth? |
| 45068 | Is Prof. Adler trying to say God? |
| 45068 | Is he not absolute? |
| 45068 | Is it not already passing into the shade of neglect? |
| 45068 | Is it not better to praise than to blame, to recommend than to find fault?" |
| 45068 | Is it not more likely that the wonder- working Jesus was unknown to them? |
| 45068 | Is it not pathetic? |
| 45068 | Is it not unthinkable? |
| 45068 | Is it one of the merits of Christianity that it calls other people"heathen,"or that it kills them and lays waste their lands for an empty grave? |
| 45068 | Is it possible that a real man, not to say the Savior of the world, would give such unmeaning and evasive replies to straightforward questions? |
| 45068 | Is it possible that as the result of Jesus''advent into our world, we have only a basketful of nameless and dateless copies and documents? |
| 45068 | Is it possible that such a man could remain totally ignorant of a miracle worker and teacher like Jesus, living in the same city with him? |
| 45068 | Is it right, then, in spite of all these things that autocracy has done for Russia, to seek to overthrow it? |
| 45068 | Is it right, then, that the missionary should criticise these ancient faiths? |
| 45068 | Is not that suggestive? |
| 45068 | Is not the man who smites us upon the cheek, or robs us of our clothing, equally guilty? |
| 45068 | Is not this remarkable? |
| 45068 | Is that the way to crawl out of a contract? |
| 45068 | Is that why he said"Take no thought of the morrow,"and predicted the speedy destruction of the world? |
| 45068 | Is there any trace of such tolerance in any of the sayings of Jesus? |
| 45068 | Is there anything as infamous as that in any religion outside of ours? |
| 45068 | Is there anything more precious in human life than children? |
| 45068 | Is there nothing good to be said of Russian autocracy? |
| 45068 | Is this history? |
| 45068 | Jesus and his twelve apostles were Jews; why are all the four Gospels written in Greek? |
| 45068 | Jesus may have been a wonderful man, but is every wonderful man a God? |
| 45068 | Jesus may have claimed to have been a God, but is every one who puts forth such a claim a God? |
| 45068 | Jesus was supposedly a Jew, his twelve apostles all Jews-- how is it, then, that the only biographies of him extant are all in Greek? |
| 45068 | Moreover, are not the Ten Commandments in the negative? |
| 45068 | Moreover, does not the bible teach that Jesus was tempted in all things, and was a man of like passions, as ourselves? |
| 45068 | Moreover, what credit is there in opening the eyes of the blind or in raising the dead by miracle? |
| 45068 | Moreover, wherein does a"divine"religion differ from a man- made cult, if it is equally powerless to protect itself against perversion? |
| 45068 | Must a man rob the long past in order to provide clothing for his idol? |
| 45068 | Must he close his eyes upon all history before he can behold the beauty of his own cult? |
| 45068 | Now, all this may be true, and I hope it is; but what of it? |
| 45068 | Now, why have I given these conclusions to the world? |
| 45068 | Only four? |
| 45068 | Our answer to the question, Is Jesus a Myth? |
| 45068 | Paul gives no evidence of possessing any knowledge of the teachings of Jesus, how could he, then, be a missionary of Christianity to the heathen? |
| 45068 | Referring once more to the case of Russia: Why do the awakened people in that country demand the overthrow of the autocracy? |
| 45068 | The Christians have"fasted and prayed"also against science, progress, and modern thought, but what good has it done? |
| 45068 | The Reverend has another argument:"The Christian Church-- when, why and how did it begin?" |
| 45068 | The date of your own letter 1908 tells what? |
| 45068 | The doctrine of humanity to animals, our dumb neighbors, is a positive tenet in Buddhism; is it in Christianity? |
| 45068 | The primitive man guessed where knowledge failed him-- what else could he do? |
| 45068 | The question under discussion is, Is Jesus Historical? |
| 45068 | The question waits for a reasonable answer; Why did not Jesus challenge the whole world with the evidence of his resurrection? |
| 45068 | The strength of a given criticism is determined by asking: Does it in any way impair the soundness of the argument against which it is directed? |
| 45068 | Then why is there discontent in the world? |
| 45068 | There is no meaning in saying that a man''s title"existed in appearance only?" |
| 45068 | There was ignorance in the world before Christianity; has Jesus destroyed ignorance? |
| 45068 | There was poverty and misery in the world before Christianity; has Jesus removed these evils? |
| 45068 | There was war before Christianity; has Jesus abolished war? |
| 45068 | To questions,"Where is Jesus?" |

| 45068 | Was he with his apostles for one year or for three? |
| 45068 | Was it just, then, that we should have beaten out of the land a government that had performed for us so many friendly acts? |
| 45068 | Was it just, then, to pull down an institution that had done so much for France? |
| 45068 | Was it, then, for his"works,"if not for his"words,"that Jesus"won the right of preeminence in the world''s history"? |
| 45068 | Was not our soul worth saving? |
| 45068 | Was she not one of the most progressive, most civilizing influences in the modern world? |
| 45068 | Was there a weakness found in men like Buddha, Confucius, Socrates, etc., from which Jesus was free? |
| 45068 | We ask: How long have you known Jesus? |
| 45068 | We know what it means in the orthodox sense, but what does it mean from the Unitarian standpoint of Mr. Jones? |
| 45068 | We may call this instinct, sensation, promptings of nature, but what''s in a name? |
| 45068 | Well, why? |
| 45068 | Were any of you present when Jesus came forth from the grave? |
| 45068 | Were you present when Jesus was taken down from the cross? |
| 45068 | Were you present when he was buried? |

| 45068 | What did the Oriental see in the worm, which induced him to select it out of all things as the original, so to speak, of man? |
| 45068 | What did this mighty and noble man do to save a stranger and a scholar from so atrocious a fate? |
| 45068 | What do you think of it?" |
| 45068 | What does it mean to be the"only begotten from the Father?" |
| 45068 | What else in our human world is more beautiful, more divine? |

| 45068 | What other revelation has given rise to so many sects, hostile and irreconcilable, as the Christian? |
| 45068 | What shall we think of such reasoning from the platform of a presumable rationalist movement? |

| 45068 | When, therefore, you say, he was dead, buried and rose again, you are relying upon the testimony of others? |
| 45068 | Where is Christ? |
| 45068 | Wherein, then, was the"preeminence"of Jesus? |
| 45068 | Which Christian church, brother? |
| 45068 | Which of the many faiths of the world has opposed Science as stubbornly and as bitterly as Christianity? |
| 45068 | Which of the religions has persecuted as long and as relentlessly as Christianity? |
| 45068 | Which of us, if he had the divine power, would not have extended it unto every suffering child of man? |
| 45068 | Which of us, poor, weak, sinful though we are, would not be glad to give his life, if thereby he could save a world? |

| 45068 | Why is the oak more robust than the spruce? |
| 45068 | Why not follow the example of the deity, as set forth in the persecutions of the Old Testament? |
| 45068 | Why not, then, dwell upon these, and pass in silence over the objectionable teachings of these religions? |
| 45068 | Why then is there a different date every year? |
| 45068 | Why this discrepancy in a historical document, to say nothing about inspiration? |

| 6172 | Can you find in all the world to- day two men as wise, as good, as gentle, as happy? |
| 6172 | Can you suppose that such a creator would, after thousands of years of effort, have failed even now to make His repeated revelations comprehensible? |

| 6172 | Did Buddha, and King Asoka, and Socrates, and Aristides lead happy, and pure, and useful lives? |
| 6172 | Did Christianity abolish them? |
| 6172 | Did Matthew see Christ ascend into Heaven? |
| 6172 | Did Matthew see Christ crucified? |

| 6172 | Did Matthew see Christ quit the tomb? |
| 6172 | Did Matthew see Christ''s dead body? |
| 6172 | Did the Protestant martyrs prove Protestantism true? |
| 6172 | Did the citizens receive them into their midst without fear, or horror, or doubt? |
| 6172 | Did these dead saints go back to their tombs? |
| 6172 | Did they correct the proofs? |
| 6172 | Do they live worse or die worse, or bear trouble worse, than those who accept the Christian faith? |
| 6172 | Do we not know that religion was so born and nursed? |
| 6172 | Do you believe that the God who imagined and created such a universe could be petty, base, cruel, revengeful, and capable of error? |
| 6172 | Do you believe that? |
| 6172 | Do you deny that? |
| 6172 | Do you know what the Christians call Tom Paine? |
| 6172 | Do you think He is the kind of Creator to make blunders and commit crimes? |
| 6172 | Does a strong man value the praise of the weak? |
| 6172 | Does a wise man prize the praise of fools? |
| 6172 | Does any man of wisdom and power care for the applause of his inferiors? |
| 6172 | Does it prove that the Buddhist faith is the only true faith? |
| 6172 | Does not history teach us that it is true? |
| 6172 | Does not that sound reasonable? |
| 6172 | Does not the long finger of the animal show the infinite badness of God to the insect? |
| 6172 | Does that prove that Christianity was not true? |
| 6172 | Does the Bible reveal any new moral truths? |
| 6172 | Does the Bible revelation contain no errors of fact? |
| 6172 | Does this prove that King Asoka or his teacher, Buddha, was divine? |
| 6172 | Does_ that_ prove that Christ was divine? |
| 6172 | Even when man was ignorant and savage, could not an all- powerful God have devised some means of revealing Himself so as to be understood? |
| 6172 | First of all, then, what is the fact which this evidence is supposed to prove? |
| 6172 | For if I had power to train a son of mine to righteousness, and I trained him to wickedness, should I not sin against my son? |
| 6172 | From Glasgow to Johannesburg, from Bombay to San Francisco is God or Mammon king? |
| 6172 | HAVE THE DOCUMENTS BEEN TAMPERED WITH? |
| 6172 | Had this stupendous miracle no effect upon the Jewish priests who had crucified Christ as an impostor? |
| 6172 | Has God''s revelation, as given in the Bible, reached all men? |
| 6172 | Have you_ any_ witnesses? |
| 6172 | How are Christians treating Jews to- day in Holy Russia? |
| 6172 | How are we to know that these men ever lived? |
| 6172 | How are we to know that they were correctly reported, if they ever spoke or wrote? |
| 6172 | How can they think that? |
| 6172 | How can we account for King Asoka, how can we account for Buddha? |
| 6172 | How can we rely upon such evidence after nineteen hundred years, and upon a statement of facts so important and so marvellous? |
| 6172 | How comes it, then, that the treatment of the poor by the rich is better amongst Jews than amongst Christians? |
| 6172 | How did it fare with the poor all over Europe in the centuries when Christianity was at the zenith of its power? |
| 6172 | How do they bear themselves in"the solemn realities of life"? |
| 6172 | How have Christians treated Jews for fifteen centuries? |
| 6172 | How is it that the gulf betwixt rich and poor in such Christian capitals as New York, London, and Paris is so wide and deep? |
| 6172 | How long is it since Jews were granted full rights of citizenship in Christian England? |
| 6172 | How many Christians have reached it yet? |
| 6172 | How many centuries did it take the Christians to rise to that level of wisdom and charity? |
| 6172 | How many cruel and sanguinary wars has that presumptuous belief inspired? |
| 6172 | How many persecutions, outrages, martyrdoms, and massacres have been perpetrated by fanatics who have been"jealous for the Lord?" |
| 6172 | How many stars are there? |
| 6172 | How would he fare at the hands of the Press, and the Public-- and the Church? |
| 6172 | How, then, can God blame the horse? |
| 6172 | How, then, could God blame Man for anything Man did? |
| 6172 | How, then, could God blame Man for the Fall? |
| 6172 | I shall begin by quoting from_ Shall We Understand the Bible?_ by the Rev. |
| 6172 | IS CHRISTIANITY THE ONLY HOPE? |
| 6172 | If Christ died to save Man from sin, how is it that nineteen centuries after His death the world is full of sin? |
| 6172 | If God blesses, who curses? |
| 6172 | If God helps, who harms? |
| 6172 | If God is a tender, loving, All- knowing, and All- powerful Heavenly Father, why did He build a world on cruel lines? |
| 6172 | If God is all wise, and knows all that happens, will He not know what is for man''s good better than man can tell Him? |
| 6172 | If God is just, will He not do justice without being entreated of men? |
| 6172 | If God put a beggar on horseback, would the horse be blamable for galloping to Monte Carlo? |
| 6172 | If God put a"will"on Adam''s back, and the will followed the beckoning finger of Eve, whose fault was that? |
| 6172 | If God really wished to reveal Himself to man, why did He reveal Himself only to one or two obscure tribes, and leave the rest of mankind in darkness? |
| 6172 | If God saves, who damns? |
| 6172 | If He is a just God, will He give us less than justice unless we pray to Him; or will He give us more than justice because we importune Him? |
| 6172 | If I am bad, does it make my offence the less that another man is so much better? |
| 6172 | If You wished me to act otherwise, why did You not make me differently? |
| 6172 | If he is all- powerful, why did He make man so imperfect? |
| 6172 | If the success of the Christian religion proves that Christ was God, what does the success of the Buddhist religion prove? |
| 6172 | If we do not blame a man for one kind of defect, why blame him for another? |
| 6172 | If we pity a man with a stiff wrist, why not the man with a stiff pride? |
| 6172 | If we pity a man with a twist in his spine, why should we not pity the man with a twist in his brain? |
| 6172 | If we pity a man with a weak heart, why not the man with the weak will? |
| 6172 | If you do not deny it, then on what grounds do you claim that Christ is_ the_ Saviour of all mankind, and that"only in Christ we are made whole"? |
| 6172 | If, then, God put upon the bridge a weight equal to double the bearing strain, how could God justly blame the bridge for falling? |
| 6172 | In the many massacres, and famines, and pestilences has God answered prayer? |
| 6172 | Is Christianity the rule of life in America and Europe? |
| 6172 | Is God all- powerful or is he not? |
| 6172 | Is God so weak that He needs foolish men''s defence? |
| 6172 | Is God''s revelation of the relations between man and God true? |
| 6172 | Is He not rather the savage idol of a savage tribe? |
| 6172 | Is He so feeble that He can not judge nor avenge? |
| 6172 | Is He the Father of Christ? |
| 6172 | Is he not blameworthy?" |
| 6172 | Is he the God who inspired Buddha, and Shakespeare, and Herschel, and Beethoven, and Darwin, and Plato, and Bach? |
| 6172 | Is it consonant with common sense? |
| 6172 | Is it just or moral to forgive one man his sin because another is sinless? |
| 6172 | Is it just, or is it moral, to make the good suffer for the bad? |
| 6172 | Is it my fault that You fore- ordained me to be and to do thus?" |
| 6172 | Is it not so? |
| 6172 | Is it not so? |
| 6172 | Is it not so? |
| 6172 | Is it not so? |
| 6172 | Is it not so? |
| 6172 | Is it not so? |
| 6172 | Is it not so? |
| 6172 | Is it the kind of theory a reasonable man can accept? |
| 6172 | Is it wise, then, to sell even a fraction of your liberty of thought or deed for a paper promise which the Bank of Futurity may fail to honour? |
| 6172 | Is not that a material difference? |
| 6172 | Is not that free will? |
| 6172 | Is that a reasonable theory? |
| 6172 | Is that so lofty and so noble? |
| 6172 | Is that the idea? |
| 6172 | Is the Bible revelation so clear and explicit that no difference of opinion as to its meaning is possible? |
| 6172 | Is the Christian religion loved and respected by those outside its pale? |
| 6172 | Is the ethical code of the Bible complete, and final, and perfect? |
| 6172 | Is there any earthly father who would allow his children to suffer as God allows Man to suffer? |
| 6172 | Is there any man or woman alive who has seen Christ? |
| 6172 | Is there any man or woman alive who has seen God? |
| 6172 | Is this position supported by the facts? |
| 6172 | Is this unspeakable monster, Jahweh, the Father of Christ? |
| 6172 | It is stated by Paul of Tarsus that he and others worked miracles-- THE JUDGE: Do you intend to call Paul of Tarsus? |
| 6172 | JUDGE: Are these letters affidavits? |
| 6172 | JUDGE: Are they in the handwriting of this Paul of Tarsus? |
| 6172 | JUDGE: Are they signed? |
| 6172 | JUDGE: But you do n''t mean to, say-- how long has this shadowy witness, Paul of Tarsus, been dead? |
| 6172 | JUDGE: Deposition? |
| 6172 | JUDGE: Did he make a proper sworn deposition? |
| 6172 | JUDGE: Do n''t know? |
| 6172 | JUDGE: These statements of theirs, to which you allude: are they in their own handwriting? |
| 6172 | JUDGE: Thousand years dead? |
| 6172 | JUDGE: Were the copies seen and revised by the authors? |
| 6172 | JUDGE: Who was Paul of Tarsus? |
| 6172 | JUDGE: Who were they? |
| 6172 | JUDGE: You intend to call some of these Gentiles? |
| 6172 | Let us first think what would be the orthodox method of dealing with these two cases? |
| 6172 | Matthew and John are"supposed"to have been disciples of Christ; but were they? |
| 6172 | Matthew states very plainly that-- JUDGE: Of course, you intend to call Matthew? |
| 6172 | My Christian friend, so jealous for the Lord, did you ever regard your hatred of"Heretics"and"Infidels"in the light of history? |
| 6172 | Note next this, from Kant: What are the aims which are at the same time duties? |
| 6172 | Now, consider, is the God of whom we have been reading a God of love? |
| 6172 | Now, how did the finger begin to elongate? |
| 6172 | Now, how does the creation of this long finger show the"infinite goodness of God"? |
| 6172 | Now, in the opinion of these Christian teachers, is the Bible perfect or imperfect? |
| 6172 | Now, supposing these facts to be as I have stated them above, to what conclusion do they point? |
| 6172 | Religion has been attacked before, they cry, and where now are its assailants? |
| 6172 | Shall we kill these, or revile them, or desert them, for the sake of the lurid ghost in the cloud, or the fetish in his box? |
| 6172 | Should one be angry with a myth? |
| 6172 | THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION WHAT IS CHRISTIANITY? |
| 6172 | THE OLD TESTAMENT IS THE BIBLE THE WORD OF GOD? |
| 6172 | The distance from our Sun to the nearest fixed(?) |
| 6172 | The infinite goodness of God to whom? |
| 6172 | Then how are we to account for King Asoka? |
| 6172 | Then what about the insect? |
| 6172 | Then"how much more your Father which is in Heaven?" |
| 6172 | Then, if God made Adam weak, and Eve seductive, and the Serpent subtle, was that Adam''s fault or God''s? |
| 6172 | This being the case, I ask, as a mere layman, what right has the Bible to usurp the title of"the word of God"? |
| 6172 | This good man prays: for what? |
| 6172 | This the Creator of the Milky Way? |
| 6172 | Thomas asks:"How do you know?" |
| 6172 | To bear the ills and the wrongs of this life more patiently, in the hope of a future reward? |
| 6172 | To him the vital question would be, not"What will you give me to desert my colours?" |
| 6172 | To the animal whose special finger enables him to catch the insect? |
| 6172 | To what extent does the Bible revelation fulfil the above natural expectations? |
| 6172 | To what stage of knowledge and science had those who created or accepted the myth attained? |
| 6172 | Was Buddha God? |
| 6172 | Was Mahomet God? |
| 6172 | Was it before he ceased to be a monkey, or after? |

| 6172 | Was it when he was a tree man, or later? |
| 6172 | Was there neither love, nor honour, nor wisdom, nor valour, nor peace in the world until Paul turned Christian? |
| 6172 | Were such a man to arise amongst us and voice the awful truth, what would his reception be? |

| 6172 | What chance, then, has a drunkard''s baby, born in a thieves''den, and dragged up amid the ignorant squalor of the slums? |
| 6172 | What conclusion can we come to, then, as to the story in the first Gospel? |
| 6172 | What does that mean? |
| 6172 | What does that prove? |
| 6172 | What does the success of the Mohammedan religion prove? |
| 6172 | What does_ that_ prove? |
| 6172 | What evidence is forthcoming that Christ did not recover from a swoon, and that His friends did not take Him away in the night? |
| 6172 | What evidence is forthcoming that the Bible is true? |
| 6172 | What happens? |
| 6172 | What has this faith helped him to do? |
| 6172 | What have we to do with such dreamy, self- centred, emotional holiness, here and now in London? |

| 6172 | What is that assertion or implication? |
| 6172 | What is the Universe like, as far as our limited knowledge goes? |
| 6172 | What is the nature of the evidence produced in support of this tremendous miracle? |
| 6172 | What is the nature of the evidence? |
| 6172 | What is there so superior or so meritorious in the attitude of a religious man towards God? |
| 6172 | What is will? |

| 6172 | What of the infinite goodness of God in teaching the grub of the ichneumon- fly to eat up the cabbage caterpillar alive? |
| 6172 | What was the attitude of the general mind towards the miraculous? |
| 6172 | What was the"time spirit"in the day when this legend arose? |
| 6172 | What would Christ think of Park Lane, and the slums, and the hooligans? |
| 6172 | What would He think of the House of Peers, and the Bench of Bishops, and the Yellow Press? |
| 6172 | What would He think of the Stock Exchange, and the music hall, and the racecourse? |
| 6172 | What would a man think if his children knelt and begged for his love or for their daily bread? |
| 6172 | What would be the orthodox method? |

| 6172 | Which is worse, to be a Demagogue or an Infidel? |
| 6172 | Which religion was the borrower from the other-- Buddhism or Christianity? |
| 6172 | Who does not see that such facts as these compel us to remodel our whole idea of the past? |
| 6172 | Who has communicated with God? |
| 6172 | Who has entered that"region"? |
| 6172 | Who has seen God? |
| 6172 | Who is responsible for the quality or powers of a thing that is made? |

| 6172 | Who were these authors? |
| 6172 | Who, then, are the witnesses? |
| 6172 | Why did Adam fall? |
| 6172 | Why did Christianity with its spiritual and temporal power, permit such things to be? |
| 6172 | Why did a good and loving God allow evil to enter the world? |
| 6172 | Why does He not give the world peace, and health, and happiness, and virtue? |
| 6172 | Why does He permit evil and pain to continue? |
| 6172 | Why is religious intolerance so much more fierce and bitter than political intolerance? |
| 6172 | Why saidst thou, She is my sister? |
| 6172 | Why should I? |
| 6172 | Why should we cling to this perishable body? |
| 6172 | Why, then, did He permit evil to enter? |
| 6172 | Why? |
| 6172 | Why? |
| 6172 | Why? |
| 6172 | Why? |
| 6172 | Will you, then, compare the Heavenly Father with a father among men? |
| 6172 | Would a Liberal accept it from a Tory? |
| 6172 | Would a Roman Catholic admit it from a Jew? |
| 6172 | Would the Christian hearken to such a defence from a Socialist, or from a Mohammedan? |
| 6172 | Would the Christians listen to such a plea in any other case? |

| 47314 | But what say you, are not you too of Opinion that we see all Things in God? |
| 47314 | But who would wish the congelation of our Moral sense? |
| 47314 | But why? |
| 47314 | But, can the Physiologist conceive such a monstrosity? |
| 47314 | But, has it ever possessed latent powers for which opportunity was always wanting? |
| 47314 | But, how? |
| 47314 | But, if it is inquired,"whether the_ Mechanical_ Laws of Matter are the laws of Universal Nature, including human nature? |
| 47314 | But, is not one chief object in knowing man, to acquaint ourselves with God? |
| 47314 | But, must not all things really great and good be toilsome to men who are neither very good nor very great? |
| 47314 | But, suppose both face and sorrow were themselves only shadows? |
| 47314 | But, suppose your young philosopher for his own pleasure wrings his canary bird''s neck? |
| 47314 | But, what are we to say of A? |
| 47314 | Can any thoughtful person admit the conclusions of one apparently so unfit for his task? |
| 47314 | Can he and others help believing them true? |
| 47314 | Can he conscientiously believe that its issue is a worthy representation of the Divine and omnipotent Creator? |
| 47314 | Can he ever expect to perform the behests of that pure and perfect Will? |
| 47314 | Can such worship, or such an object of worship, bless and satisfy our high aspiring race? |
| 47314 | Can there be a nobler_ object_? |
| 47314 | Can this be a declaration deduced from the supreme law of Interest,--is it not rather a foundation maxim of independent morality? |
| 47314 | Can we absolutely say either yes or no to this inquiry? |
| 47314 | Can we know our own Personality or that of others?--or any Thing in itself? |
| 47314 | Can we tell the secret of our own individuality? |
| 47314 | Can we, if we try, perceive by sense the nerve- currents brainwards, or the sensory which receives and compares them? |
| 47314 | Can you build a bridge of the same wedges in any other figure? |
| 47314 | Compared with the painter''s regrets, were mine, I asked, less natural? |
| 47314 | Compared with this creed, the martyrs of Monotheism were self- loving-- for did not they hope? |
| 47314 | Darwin et Wallace, d''expliquer la couleur terne de certaines espèces par sélection sexuelle? |
| 47314 | Did Plato see farther than Herschel could when he burst the barriers of the sky? |
| 47314 | Did Schelling at any time behold what Hamilton pronounced invisible? |
| 47314 | Did clouds first descend upon it like a fiery rain- storm? |
| 47314 | Did not the ancients assert it as a Fact, that the earth stood still, and the stars moved? |
| 47314 | Did the uninstructed and stammering childhood of our race, separate, in thought, the_ Supernatural_ from surrounding nature? |
| 47314 | Did water first surround the glowing orb as a heated vapour? |
| 47314 | Do my young friends guess what will follow? |
| 47314 | Do we know--_can_ we know any more? |
| 47314 | Do you fancy I will grant you a lease for so long a term? |
| 47314 | Does any one commit an error unintentionally? |
| 47314 | Does any one fancy that he sees a solid cube? |
| 47314 | Does any one feel sure that a death- watch is the servant and interpreter of kitchen timepieces? |
| 47314 | Does any one wilfully do wrong? |
| 47314 | Does it rest upon any definite separation in Nature? |
| 47314 | Does not the apprehension of the Fact imply assumptions which may with equal justice be called Theory and which are perhaps false Theory? |
| 47314 | Dropped by wild atoms in disorder''d dance? |
| 47314 | Fact I know; and Law I know; but what is this Necessity, save an empty shadow of my own mind''s throwing? |
| 47314 | First, for his fiery anathema:--"When we run over libraries, persuaded of these principles, what havoc must we make? |
| 47314 | First, if inscrutable as to its ultimate nature-- its highest essence, and deepest thought,--is it so in its attributes? |
| 47314 | For from what impression could this idea he derived?... |
| 47314 | For have they not seen with their own eyes the Sun rise up in the East, ascend to the top of the sky, and go down in the West? |
| 47314 | For how few of our past actions are there, of which we have any memory? |
| 47314 | For we ourselves strive to act on_ true_,_ fitting_, and_ reasonable_ grounds of purpose; and shall we think less of Him,"Who teacheth Man knowledge"? |
| 47314 | For what is there in this subject which should occasion a different conclusion or inference? |
| 47314 | For, do not writers of fiction deal in probabilities? |
| 47314 | For, what else is this Dualism but the battle between two Gods of fundamentally distinct natures? |
| 47314 | From what causes do I derive my existence, and to what condition shall I return? |
| 47314 | Further,"If unthinkable, is it absolutely so, or only very difficult to think?" |
| 47314 | Has Man any faculty of apprehending the Infinite? |
| 47314 | Has every one here learned the true reason why? |
| 47314 | Having dispensed, then, with the supernatural, are we necessarily without any religion? |
| 47314 | He that formed the eye, shall He not see?... |
| 47314 | Here, again, the real question is, How far is such a distinction maintainable in fact? |
| 47314 | How can we ascribe to them any sentiments at all? |
| 47314 | How can we classify without a standard of classification, arrange or connect without threads of connection or arrangement? |
| 47314 | How do we perceive, hear, see? |
| 47314 | How else can we maintain our critical consistency? |
| 47314 | How great is the subjective Element in our perceptions? |
| 47314 | How is it then that we thus find an Idea which is_ supplied_ by our own minds, but which is_ exemplified_ in every part of the organic world? |
| 47314 | How many metaphysicians proper, or how many skilled students of Natural Science, can explain that novel compound"Psychoplasm"? |
| 47314 | How many theorizers seem to justify Sir William Ellis''s old observation, that few of his medical brethren ever got much notion of Mind? |
| 47314 | How much and what do we see? |
| 47314 | How otherwise can he certainly allege that the prejudice is not inherent within himself? |
| 47314 | How then are we to sum up the case? |
| 47314 | How then should I and any man that lives Be strangers to each other? |
| 47314 | How, again, could He satisfy the aspirations of earnest but half- hopeless human souls, without gathering them to His presence and to Himself? |
| 47314 | If A then certainly--_what_? |
| 47314 | If so, may we not expect much from His hand? |
| 47314 | If the Universe began in a shining Nebula, the question remains unsolved,--what first brought the thin cloud into being? |
| 47314 | If the latter,"Is the contradictory also inconceivable?" |
| 47314 | In other words, is the alkali anything more than a bundle of properties momentarily known to us? |
| 47314 | In this connection it must likewise be asked with some urgency, what_ non_-Biological reasons there are for preferring Design? |
| 47314 | Is it not a piece of pleasant bantering, to be equalled only by certain French philosophers? |
| 47314 | Is it not an obvious corollary, from Mr. Locke''s opinion, that he never was born? |
| 47314 | Is it produced by our optic instrument or by our mental activity? |
| 47314 | Is it too presumptuous to suppose that we can thus enter into the Ends and Purposes of the Divine Mind? |
| 47314 | Is it, after all, an evil, that in some directions we fail to attain certainty by mere thinking?... |
| 47314 | Is not the charm of one of Plato''s or Aristotle''s definitions, strictly like that of the Antigone of Sophocles? |
| 47314 | Is not this good- humoured? |
| 47314 | Is the Environment the product of the Organism? |
| 47314 | Is the Organism purely the product of the Environment? |
| 47314 | Is the antithesis between Right and Wrong,--the Moral Imperative"Do this and live, transgress and die,"--absolutely and immutably true? |
| 47314 | Is the great Book of Nature-- the world we live in-- a closed or open book to Man? |
| 47314 | Is there any possible reason for elevating a death- watch-- thinking in character as a death- watch-- into a capable interpreter of clocks? |
| 47314 | Is_ this_ or_ that_ particular point a duty;--is it right or wrong;--or is its observance open to debate? |
| 47314 | It is this:--What reason have we to look for a future life after that hour of dissolution which inevitably awaits us all? |
| 47314 | Let us at once ask in what light He is thereby represented? |
| 47314 | Mais cet autre anthropomorphisme par lequel les Darwinistes supposent chez les oiseaux un sens du Beau identique au nôtre, est il plus justifié? |
| 47314 | Man has no ladder of ascent left him; and why should he wish to climb? |
| 47314 | May he likewise ask two favours of the intelligent reader; neither of them he trusts unreasonably onerous? |
| 47314 | May it be permitted its writer to drop the tone of an Essayist, and to say that every word of it has come from his heart? |
| 47314 | May the spiritual pastor ever become the slayer or the salesman of his flock? |
| 47314 | May we not, then, presume it impossible to bring worse charges against any argument than whatever can be urged in support of these two accusations? |
| 47314 | Mr. Carlyle asks,"Do not Books still accomplish_ miracles_, as_ Runes_ were fabled to do?... |
| 47314 | Must we hence infer the existence of a Cyclops or a Titan? |
| 47314 | N''en peut- il pas être de même pour la voix criarde de tel ou tel volatile? |
| 47314 | Next, if Spencer''s special walk in philosophy ends with the bare positing of this Idea, must_ all_ Philosophy do the same? |
| 47314 | Now, does not this very rigour leave man as hopeless, as if he were altogether without God? |
| 47314 | Now, what resemblance is here visible? |
| 47314 | One event befals them both; yet we may ask whether before or after that one event, Man has or can have any preeminence above the beast? |
| 47314 | Or from an endless chain of causes wrought, And of unthinking substance, born with thought? |
| 47314 | Or, again, why may not the concomitancies be rather resolved some other way;--_e.g._, Matter( including Brain)= Force= Mind? |
| 47314 | Our highway and bond of union? |
| 47314 | Quand la température y eut baissé au degré compatible avec les existences vivantes, ces existences se montrèrent; mais comment? |
| 47314 | Que deviendront ces masses animées d''un mouvement rapide? |
| 47314 | Say was the GLORY complete? |
| 47314 | Serait il absurde de supposer chez certains oiseaux un goût prononcé pour les couleurs sombres, comme ce goût existe chez beaucoup d''hommes? |
| 47314 | Shall we attribute to a growing width of Thought, the increased breadth of view under which Idealism has of late years been represented? |
| 47314 | Shall we not regret that the hard, the grim, and the dismal, should characterize our 19th century philosophy? |
| 47314 | So it might appear to the peculiar mind of the speaker; but how about the mind of him who promulgated the evolution- hypothesis? |
| 47314 | Some questions inevitable,_ e.g._, What are the first grounds of Truth? |
| 47314 | Stands he not thereby in the centre of Immensities, in the conflux of Eternities? |
| 47314 | The assertor ought in return to be asked one or two questions,_ e.g._,"Do you mean inconceivable to yourself or to the generality of Mankind?" |
| 47314 | The essential and fundamental inquiry is, whether we are or are not still to have a Religion? |
| 47314 | The first question is, Does the fact of seeing or the fitness to see raise a moral certainty or very strong probability of Design? |
| 47314 | The mind creates perspective, how much then may it not create? |
| 47314 | The more noble the object sought, the more arduous the task and toil,--and what can be nobler than a well- grounded belief in God and Immortality? |
| 47314 | The question we ask is,--with what_ view_ P became an act? |
| 47314 | The reply made, answers another question of the deepest interest:--"Are there any conditions under which a Science of Natural Theology is possible?" |
| 47314 | The righteous clock is indeed genuinely Huxleian, but what shall we say of his mechanical logic, his piano, and his death- watches? |
| 47314 | The_ comparison_ sets out from this question:--What can merely animal nature do to raise itself? |
| 47314 | There is not one of the sceptics to whom you have alluded, who would not, if he were asked the question,"What is the use of the eye?" |
| 47314 | These assertions were made in a University Sermon[70] on the question,"Under what Conditions is a Science of Natural Theology possible?" |
| 47314 | They live and die and make no sign,--and how can quiet unavowed disbelief obtain a separate place in the columns of the Registrar- General? |
| 47314 | This, indeed, is inconceivable: and to assert that which is inconceivable, is to talk Nonsense: Is it not?. |
| 47314 | Thy very hatred, thy very envy, those foolish lies thou tellest of me in thy splenetic humour: what is all this but an inverted sympathy? |
| 47314 | To decide this question, is to decide something as to the extent of their_ relativity_; but will any one pronounce their information absolutely true? |
| 47314 | To the eye of Pure Reason what is he? |
| 47314 | Was Thurtell the cause or the physical antecedent of Weare''s death? |
| 47314 | Was he wise or unwise in his disbelief? |
| 47314 | We ask with some eagerness, how may these things be? |
| 47314 | We may ask with reason what gain accrues to the statesman by looking at his country''s constitution from this point of sight? |
| 47314 | We must not ask,"Is there Mind in the natural world?" |
| 47314 | We see in them movements propagating movements; but then we are obliged to ask, what moved the first of them? |
| 47314 | We should still have to inquire by what agency and to what purpose we and the All exist? |
| 47314 | We simply ask how does this food from without, get_ into_ us? |
| 47314 | Were I a steam- engine, wouldst thou take the trouble to tell lies of me? |
| 47314 | What beings surround me? |
| 47314 | What but a mighty hunger for God can explain this weary, unending search for Him? |
| 47314 | What but the reasoning spirit, the thought and the faith and the feeling? |
| 47314 | What can the morally impotent or the morally imperfect do for us? |
| 47314 | What could life be to him? |
| 47314 | What could reflect, though dimly and faint, the INEFFABLE PURPOSE Which from chaotic powers, Order and Harmony drew? |
| 47314 | What else can explain the unthanked effort to make plain a path to Him that no man wants to travel?" |
| 47314 | What experience have we with regard to superior beings? |
| 47314 | What indeed can seem more_ simply_ true than the admission of a fact? |
| 47314 | What is He to it? |
| 47314 | What is Mechanical Law to us? |
| 47314 | What is it really to us, the earth''s inhabitants? |
| 47314 | What is responsibility? |
| 47314 | What is the central spring that moves the strictly human power, and converts it from a sleeping capacity for good, into an acting and living energy? |
| 47314 | What is the offence of a lamb that we should rear it, and tend it, and lull it into security, for the express purpose of killing it? |
| 47314 | What its final cause? |
| 47314 | What meaner eye, then, could ever succeed in piercing the secret architecture of the Universe? |
| 47314 | What sort of a Power must he finally determine this mind to be? |
| 47314 | What then becomes of the Absolute ground, or First Cause of all things? |
| 47314 | What then ought to be the fair and legitimate inference from an issue magnificently tried throughout the celestial universe? |
| 47314 | What then was the inference Hume himself intended? |
| 47314 | What was the motive of this act? |
| 47314 | What wish?" |
| 47314 | What worth in Man''s body then,--what worth in his soaring mind? |
| 47314 | What, but the grateful sense, conscious of love and design? |
| 47314 | What, then, caused it? |
| 47314 | When impressed by colours, are we conscious of an optic nerve, retina, crystalline lens and other instrumental powers of vision? |
| 47314 | When we have described all these properties, have we defined the whole substance? |
| 47314 | Whence drew I being? |
| 47314 | Where am I, or what? |
| 47314 | Where can he find or make room for wrong- doing, when impelling Mechanism determines all? |
| 47314 | Where shall we find the experience required? |
| 47314 | Which was really groundless-- every- day belief or scepticism? |
| 47314 | Who can lay down the limits of what our minds create for themselves outside us? |
| 47314 | Who can reprove the man when he feels and asserts his own moral power, for a belief in Miracles? |
| 47314 | Who does not remember Sir W. Scott''s lines in the"Lady of the Lake,"on the returning phantoms of early youth,--change, loss, and separation? |
| 47314 | Who ever yet demonstrated the existence of either?... |
| 47314 | Who shall limit the right of society except society itself? |
| 47314 | Who shall persuade him to deny the reasonableness of a Providence following creation? |
| 47314 | Who, therefore, shall safely predict for us the effects of its proposed discipline? |
| 47314 | Whose favour shall I court, and whose anger must I dread? |
| 47314 | Why is infinite a negative idea? |
| 47314 | Why should any philosopher resist this judgment? |
| 47314 | Why should not the second improvement be a retrogression_ away from_ the ultimate organ now possessed by man, and necessary to his well- being? |
| 47314 | Why should one natural belief be treated more tenderly than another?... |
| 47314 | Why then should anybody ignore on their account the great First- Cause? |
| 47314 | Why, he asks, should the bite of a mad dog have been allowed to produce hydrophobia? |
| 47314 | Why, let us ask, does Mathematical truth occupy so lofty a position? |
| 47314 | Why, that is, should the dog''s saliva have been so_ contrived_, as to convey so virulent a blood poison? |
| 47314 | Why, they ask, should so powerful an instinct dwell in the breast of our race with only a misleading issue? |
| 47314 | Would any one in any public meeting of scientific men dare to stand up and_ deny_ that there was Mind in Nature? |
| 47314 | Would he not have urged with the force of truth, that to animalize a Man is to destroy his Manhood, to weaken his judgment and impair his Moral sense? |
| 47314 | Would not a man without sense of the Beautiful be"colour- blind"to many among the harmonies of Nature? |
| 47314 | Would that be an aldermanic beetle feast or a_ Resurgam_? |
| 47314 | Would this surrender of Natural Theology-- or rather of all Theology-- necessitate in reason any_ other_ vast surrender also? |
| 47314 | Yet in this process,_ what and how much_ would have come within the grasp of a merely sensitive intelligence? |
| 47314 | Yet what are the conditions or evidences of veracity upon which his and his fellows''present convictions must necessarily repose? |
| 47314 | Yet, how far do we really know the life throbbing in every pulse? |
| 47314 | Yet, if we can not_ know_ this first growing- point of our individual life, it may be useful to inquire what can we know_ about_ it? |
| 47314 | Yet, no primary truth can ever be very simple to man, else why so many conscientious doubters? |
| 47314 | Yet, who on that account would deny the true sense and delight of poetry, rhythm, and melody? |
| 47314 | [ 101] Is there, asks Idealistic Scepticism, any outside world at all? |
| 47314 | [ 103] If these things and others like them are fairly considered, what becomes of our readings in the unclosed book of Nature? |
| 47314 | [ 149] What then is the true human meaning of this Monistic creed? |
| 47314 | [ 168] Speculatively considered, what can the weapon commonly called argument do against Idealism? |
| 47314 | [ 171]"What are the core and essence of this hypothesis? |
| 47314 | [ t] Weighing these inconsistencies together, shall we say that, in any proper sense, we_ know_ our own selves? |
| 47314 | _ Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matters of fact and existence?_ No. |
| 47314 | an opponent might fairly ask;"is it not useful so to do? |
| 47314 | and can any Fact have stronger apparent evidence to justify persons in asserting it emphatically than this had?" |
| 47314 | and for what end? |
| 47314 | and on whom have I any influence, or who have any influence on me? |

| 6107 | And can we by voting for Jesus make him a God? |
| 6107 | And how can it be introduced among the Gentiles without a knowledge of the doctrines and works of its founder? |

| 6107 | And if, as the professor says,"reason is born of reason,"how did the first reason come? |

| 6107 | But how can any amount of evidence satisfy one''s self that Jesus was born of a virgin, for instance? |

| 6107 | Does he insist on remaining ignorant of the facts? |
| 6107 | Does he mean that"New York and Chicago churches"and"publicans and sinners"are the same thing? |
| 6107 | Does it justify hasty language? |

| 6107 | If Jesus as a God opened the eyes of the blind, would it not have been kinder if he had prevented blindness altogether? |
| 6107 | If Jesus can open the eyes of the blind, then, why is there blindness in the world? |
| 6107 | If Jesus died for us, how many thousands have died for him-- and by infinitely more cruel deaths? |
| 6107 | If Jupiter can have, Justin Martyr seems to reason, half a dozen divine sons, why can not Jehovah have at least one? |
| 6107 | If Paul visited Athens and preached from Mars Hill, how is it that there is no mention of him or of his strange Gospel in the Athenian chronicles? |
| 6107 | If Peter ever went to Rome with a new doctrine, how is it that no historian has taken note of him? |
| 6107 | If a Russian is not permitted to choose his own religion, will he be permitted to choose his own form of government? |
| 6107 | If a charcoal can be transformed into a diamond, why may not nature, with the resources of infinity at her command, refine a stone into a soul? |

| 6107 | If he will allow a priest to impose his religion upon him, why may he not permit the Czar to impose despotism upon him? |
| 6107 | If it is wrong for him to question the tenets of his religion, is it not equally wrong for him to discuss the laws of his government? |
| 6107 | If it is, what shall we think of a man who thought he was a god and could raise the dead? |
| 6107 | If matter can feel, can see, can hear, can it not also think? |

| 6107 | In the name of what other prophets have more people been burned at the stake than in the names of Jesus and Moses? |
| 6107 | In what sense is Jesus a god, while all his rivals were"mere men,"if he is as helpless to prevent the abuse of his teachings as they were? |
| 6107 | Indeed, how could a teacher who said,"He that believeth not shall be damned,"he described as recognizing the rights of future generations? |
| 6107 | Is Dr. Adler, then, a dualist? |
| 6107 | Is Jesus a myth? |
| 6107 | Is Prof. Adler trying to say God? |

| 6107 | Is it one of the merits of Christianity that it calls other people"heathen,"or that it kills them and lays waste their lands for an empty grave? |
| 6107 | Is it possible that a real man, not to say the Savior of the world, would give such unmeaning and evasive replies to straightforward questions? |
| 6107 | Is it possible that as the result of Jesus''advent into our world, we have only a basketful of nameless and dateless copies and documents? |

| 6107 | Is this history? |
| 6107 | Jesus and his twelve apostles were Jews; why are all the four Gospels written in Greek? |
| 6107 | Jesus may have been a wonderful man, but is every wonderful man a God? |
| 6107 | Jesus may have claimed to have been a God, but is every one who puts forth such a claim a God? |
| 6107 | Jesus was supposedly a Jew, his twelve apostles all Jews-- how is it, then, that the only biographies of him extant are all in Greek? |
| 6107 | Moreover, are not the Ten Commandments in the negative? |
| 6107 | Moreover, does not the bible teach that Jesus was tempted in all things, and was a man of like passions, as ourselves? |
| 6107 | Moreover, what credit is there in opening the eyes of the blind or in raising the dead by miracle? |
| 6107 | Moreover, wherein does a"divine"religion differ from a man- made cult, if it is equally powerless to protect itself against perversion? |
| 6107 | Must a man rob the long past in order to provide clothing for his idol? |
| 6107 | Must he close his eyes upon all history before he can behold the beauty of his own cult? |
| 6107 | Now, all this may be true, and I hope it is; but what of it? |
| 6107 | Now, why have I given these conclusions to the world? |

| 6107 | The primitive man guessed where knowledge failed him-- what else could he do? |
| 6107 | The question under discussion is, Is Jesus Historical? |
| 6107 | The question waits for a reasonable answer; Why did not Jesus challenge the whole world with the evidence of his resurrection? |
| 6107 | The strength of a given criticism is determined by asking: Does it in any way impair the soundness of the argument against which it is directed? |
| 6107 | Then why is there discontent in the world? |
| 6107 | There is no meaning in saying that a man''s title"existed in appearance only?" |

| 38809 | And why should we array class against class? |
| 38809 | And why should we depreciate one of our own products by saying that we will not take it as money? |
| 38809 | And why should we hate the successful? |
| 38809 | And why the greatest? |
| 38809 | And why was that? |
| 38809 | And why? |
| 38809 | And why? |
| 38809 | Any use of your talking about being a sovereign partner? |
| 38809 | Are they in favor of being protected? |
| 38809 | Are we not getting rich? |
| 38809 | Are you a Democrat? |
| 38809 | Are you not more than glad that in 1776 was announced the sublime principle that political power resides with the people? |
| 38809 | Are you sorry that these assassins were defeated in 1868? |
| 38809 | As a specimen of bluntness and clearness, take the following extracts: How shall the Government make these notes at all times as good as specie? |
| 38809 | But let me ask, for my own information, if they corner gold what will prevent their cornering silver? |
| 38809 | But now the question was, to whom did the newly acquired property belong? |
| 38809 | But suppose the Governor will not call for assistance, what then? |
| 38809 | But suppose the Legislature will not do it, what then? |
| 38809 | But the question now, as we look back, is, was this country worth saving? |
| 38809 | But to come back to my question, what have we done since 1860? |
| 38809 | But what did you say a little while ago? |
| 38809 | But what have we got to do? |
| 38809 | But what of those who fell? |
| 38809 | But, after all, do you know that money is the most social thing in this world? |
| 38809 | By giving it to the South or North; to the Democracy or to the Republican party? |
| 38809 | Can any human being think of any reason? |
| 38809 | Can it be left in any way to the Supreme Court, or shall the Executive decide it himself? |
| 38809 | Can our Government obtain information only through the official sources? |
| 38809 | Can we forget everything except the heroic sacrifices of the men who saved this Government? |
| 38809 | Can we say to the South,"Let us be brothers"? |
| 38809 | Can we trust them? |
| 38809 | Can we? |
| 38809 | Can you trust it to Alabama or to New York? |
| 38809 | Can you trust it to the South or can you trust it to the great and splendid North? |
| 38809 | Can you trust it to the gentlemen of Mississippi or to the gentlemen of Massachusetts? |
| 38809 | Can you trust the gentlemen who invented the tissue ballot? |
| 38809 | Can you trust them? |
| 38809 | Could we have safely trusted that party in 1868? |
| 38809 | Could we have safely trusted the Democratic party in 1860? |
| 38809 | Democrats, do n''t you wish we had treated you that way during the war? |
| 38809 | Did General Hancock believe in State Sovereignty when he was at Gettysburg? |
| 38809 | Did he leave them in a beautiful home, surrounded by civilization, in the repose of law, in the security of a great and powerful republic? |
| 38809 | Did his heart beat quicker? |
| 38809 | Did our forefathers ever interfere with religion? |
| 38809 | Did the blood rush to his cheek? |
| 38809 | Did they allow any of them to fight in the army? |
| 38809 | Did they free any of the negroes? |
| 38809 | Did they issue summons, and have a trial? |
| 38809 | Did they let any of these negroes fight? |
| 38809 | Did they make them citizens? |
| 38809 | Did they permit any of them to vote? |
| 38809 | Did you ever hear anybody talk about a War Republican? |
| 38809 | Did you ever think about it? |
| 38809 | Did you ever think of the deft and cunning hands, of the wonderfully accurate brains, that can make a thing like that? |
| 38809 | Did you say we could resume? |
| 38809 | Do n''t you wish you had lived then, my friend Democrat? |
| 38809 | Do n''t you wish you had prosecuted the war as our fathers prosecuted the Revolution? |
| 38809 | Do the men that fought at Gettysburg still believe in State Sovereignty? |
| 38809 | Do they think the South loves him? |
| 38809 | Do you believe that there was, on the average, any more drunkenness in this country before the tax was put on than there is now? |
| 38809 | Do you know how much good we did? |
| 38809 | Do you know that the words cheap money are a contradiction in terms? |
| 38809 | Do you know, if they had wanted it we could not have given it to them? |
| 38809 | Do you want to trust such men? |
| 38809 | Do you wish to put the ballot- box in the keeping of the shot- gun, of the White- Liners, of the Ku Klux? |
| 38809 | Does he want to be a failure? |
| 38809 | Does it believe in sunrise, or does it keep its back to the sacred east of eternal progress? |
| 38809 | Does it wish to make the world grander and better and freer? |
| 38809 | Does that require patriotism? |
| 38809 | Elect Bryan, come to the silver standard, and what would happen? |
| 38809 | Every lot in this city that was worth five thousand and that is now worth two thousand-- do you know what is the matter with that lot? |
| 38809 | Every man that had committed murder-- that had taken up arms against America, or voted the Democratic or Tory ticket? |
| 38809 | Gold will go out of circulation, and what next would happen? |
| 38809 | Has it a high ideal? |
| 38809 | Has its value been changed? |
| 38809 | Has the Senate alone the right to determine it? |
| 38809 | Has the South changed? |
| 38809 | Has the United States the right to protect commerce between the States? |
| 38809 | Have we any excuse for being thieves? |
| 38809 | Have we any excuse for failing to pay the debt? |
| 38809 | Have we developed the mind? |
| 38809 | Have we endeavored to civilize the heart? |
| 38809 | Have we endeavored to develop the brain? |
| 38809 | Have we in other directions kept pace with our physical development? |
| 38809 | Have we kept up in other ways? |
| 38809 | He was found guilty, and the judge asked him,"What have you to say that sentence of death shall not be pronounced on you?" |
| 38809 | Honor bright-- honor bright, is there any freedom of speech in the South? |
| 38809 | Honor bright? |
| 38809 | How are we going to do it? |
| 38809 | How can money be too good? |
| 38809 | How did they come to say this? |
| 38809 | How did they do it? |
| 38809 | How do you get your money? |
| 38809 | How does he stand upon the great questions affecting American prosperity? |
| 38809 | How is this to be done? |
| 38809 | How many Democrats wrote letters during the war declaring that the North never could conquer the South? |
| 38809 | How many wrote letters to the soldiers in the army telling them to shed no more fraternal blood in that suicidal and unchristian war? |
| 38809 | How much are they worth? |
| 38809 | How much do you suppose the raw material lying in the earth was worth that was changed into that locomotive? |
| 38809 | How much do you suppose this Nation is worth to- day? |
| 38809 | How much is a ton of iron worth in the ground? |
| 38809 | How much is the Republic worth? |
| 38809 | How much? |
| 38809 | How much? |
| 38809 | How was this done? |
| 38809 | How would you have it? |
| 38809 | How, Mr. Bryanite, how do you account for that? |
| 38809 | How? |
| 38809 | I ask you to- night, is not every solitary man here in favor of free speech? |
| 38809 | I do not care where he was born; I simply ask, Is he a man? |
| 38809 | I met him one morning, and he looked very sad, and I said to him,"Uncle, what is the matter?" |
| 38809 | I say, can you trust the ballot- box to the Democratic party? |
| 38809 | I want the taxes taken from tobacco and whiskey; and why? |
| 38809 | I want to preserve free speech, and, as an honest man, I look about me and I say,"How can I best preserve it?" |
| 38809 | If everything is to be left to the blind and heartless working of the laws of supply and demand, why have governments? |
| 38809 | If gold and silver are not the measure of value, what is? |
| 38809 | If the Government can make money, what on earth does it collect taxes from you and me for? |
| 38809 | If the laborer is better off in other countries, why does not the American laborer emigrate to Europe? |
| 38809 | If we depend upon the foreign manufacturers will they not form trusts? |
| 38809 | If you can make money by law, why should any nation be poor? |
| 38809 | In which part of this country are the lips of thought free-- in the South or in the North? |
| 38809 | In which part of this country can a man find justice in the courts; in the North or in the South? |
| 38809 | In which part of this country do you find law supreme? |
| 38809 | Is he willing to give to others what he claims for himself? |
| 38809 | Is it a legal tender? |
| 38809 | Is it possible for the mind to conceive anything more absurd than that the Government can create money? |
| 38809 | Is it the non- producing thief, sitting on a throne, surrounded by vermin? |
| 38809 | Is not this a vile abolition document? |
| 38809 | Is not this perfectly splendid? |
| 38809 | Is that not enough to make a Democrat sick? |
| 38809 | Is that the doctrine and the idea of the Northern Democratic party? |
| 38809 | Is that the spirit in which a nation like this should be governed? |
| 38809 | Is there a man here who in his heart regrets that the Democrats failed in 1868? |
| 38809 | Is there a solitary Democrat here who dares say he is not in favor of free speech? |
| 38809 | Is there any Congress to pass the necessary act to pay them if there was? |
| 38809 | Is there any sentiment here that would respond to a call for twenty, fifty, or a hundred thousand men? |
| 38809 | Is there any sentiment in the North that would uphold the Executive in calling for volunteers? |
| 38809 | Is there any use of talking about being equal partners any longer? |
| 38809 | Is there no time when the soldiers of progress can rest? |
| 38809 | Is there one man present who, to- day, regrets that the Vallandigham Democracy of 1864 was spurned and beaten by the American people? |
| 38809 | Is there one man present who, to- day, regrets the utter defeat of that mixture of slavery, malice and meanness, called the Democratic party, in 1864? |
| 38809 | It is a legal tender; now pound it into a cube, and how much is it worth? |
| 38809 | It is not possible that our fathers ever interfered with the writ of_ habeas corpus_, is it? |
| 38809 | It knocks at the door for admission, and what is the question asked by this administration? |
| 38809 | It takes no more ink and no more paper-- why not make one thousand dollar bills? |
| 38809 | Jackson was a Democrat? |
| 38809 | Let me tell you? |
| 38809 | Mr. Bryan says,"Vote for cheap money to pay your debts,"and thereupon the creditor says,"What is to become of me?" |
| 38809 | Mr. Greenbacker, suppose the Government issued a billion dollars to- morrow, how would you get any of it? |
| 38809 | Mulidore, are you a Christian?'' |
| 38809 | Must it be left to Congress? |
| 38809 | Must it wait until the Legislature calls for assistance to help it stop robbing and plundering citizens of the United States? |
| 38809 | Must our Government wait until the Government asks the proofs, while the State tramples upon the rights of the citizens? |
| 38809 | Must we wage this war for the right forever? |
| 38809 | Not"Have you the land, have you the wealth, have you the men and women?" |
| 38809 | Now, honor bright, which section of this Union can you trust the ballot- box with? |
| 38809 | Now, if the Government can make money itself, why should it collect taxes from the poor? |
| 38809 | Now, my friends, what is there about this great Republican party? |
| 38809 | Now, my friends, what was the Democratic party doing when the Republican party was doing these splendid things? |
| 38809 | Now, some people say to me,"How long are you going to preach the doctrine of hate?" |
| 38809 | Now, the question is: Can Congress make fifty cents''worth of silver worth one dollar? |
| 38809 | Now, then, was there any necessity, during this war, to follow the example of our fathers? |
| 38809 | Now, then, which section of this country will be the more apt to carry these ideas into execution? |
| 38809 | Now, what did our fathers do? |
| 38809 | Now, what do we want to do? |
| 38809 | Now, what is a banker? |
| 38809 | Now, why? |
| 38809 | Now, will you let us be your friends?" |
| 38809 | Of what use is it to allow the jury to bring in a verdict of"not guilty,"if the defendant is to be hung by a mob? |
| 38809 | Oh, I forgot to ask the question,"If the Government can make money why should it collect taxes?" |
| 38809 | One billion five hundred million dollars, and what is the condition of the country? |
| 38809 | Or are you going to have it so poor that it will not be worth cornering? |
| 38809 | Preacher, when I come to that day of judgment they will say,''What is your name?'' |
| 38809 | Seven long years of war-- fighting for what? |
| 38809 | Shall I recount their sufferings? |
| 38809 | Shall Mr. Bryan be the next President or shall McKinley occupy that chair? |
| 38809 | Shall the men that said, This is not a Nation, have charge of the Nation? |
| 38809 | Shall the men who saved the old flag hold it? |
| 38809 | Shall the men who saved the ship of State sail it, or shall the rebels walk her quarter- deck, give the orders and sink it? |
| 38809 | Shall the procession stop? |
| 38809 | Shall we wait for the other fellows to catch up? |
| 38809 | Some people have said,"How is it that you support Garfield, when he was a minister?" |
| 38809 | Standing here amid the sacred memories of the first, on the golden threshold of the second, I ask, Will the second century be as grand as the first? |
| 38809 | Suppose that the State does not do it; what then I say? |
| 38809 | Suppose that we had done that during the last war? |
| 38809 | Suppose the Governors and every man trample upon your rights, is the Nation then to let you be trampled upon? |
| 38809 | Take all the men of wealth from Scotland-- who would know it? |
| 38809 | That is not the worst of it, either; for after he got these negroes into the army he made a speech to them, and what did he say in that speech? |
| 38809 | That is what it did, and what else? |
| 38809 | That our fathers then made up their minds nevermore to be colonists and subjects, but that they would be free and independent citizens of America? |
| 38809 | The fact that it is a legal tender? |
| 38809 | The first is, Shall the people that saved this country rule it? |
| 38809 | The man who bought it? |
| 38809 | The moral side of this question? |
| 38809 | The next question is, Shall we pay our debts? |
| 38809 | The next question is, who shall have possession of this country-- the men that saved it,--or the men that sought to destroy it? |
| 38809 | The next question is, will we protect the Union men in the South? |
| 38809 | The next question is: Suppose the Government should issue a thousand millions of fiat money, how would it regulate the value thereof? |
| 38809 | The present question is, whom shall we trust? |
| 38809 | The question is, Shall that tramp and that dog gain possession of the White House? |
| 38809 | The question is, Shall the men who endeavored to destroy this country rule it? |
| 38809 | The question is, can you and I forget the past? |
| 38809 | The question is,"How?" |
| 38809 | The question was put to us in 1861:"Shall the majority rule?" |
| 38809 | Then there is another question, and that is whether the Government has a right to protect itself? |
| 38809 | Then who shall say what shall be done with what is produced except the producer? |
| 38809 | There is another thing: Why is this city filled with palaces, covered with wealth? |
| 38809 | There is another thing; do you want a Government of law or of brute force? |
| 38809 | There they were, of every sort, and color and kind, and how was it that they came together? |
| 38809 | They carried transparencies that said,"Is there money enough in the land to pay this nigger debt? |
| 38809 | They did not interfere with the freedom of the press, did they? |
| 38809 | They made the ratio 15 to 1, and who did it? |
| 38809 | They said, why did we not appeal to law? |
| 38809 | To a man who begs of you a breakfast you can not say,"Why do n''t you get a farm?" |
| 38809 | To whom are we indebted for this wonderful change? |
| 38809 | To whom shall we give the reins of power? |
| 38809 | Upon whom would he rely? |
| 38809 | Was he filled with enthusiasm? |
| 38809 | Was it a Grand Jury? |
| 38809 | Was it a Justice of the Peace? |
| 38809 | Was it his sovereignty that made it valuable? |
| 38809 | Was it not low- lived and contemptible? |
| 38809 | Was that honest? |
| 38809 | Was the blood shed in vain? |
| 38809 | Was the country worth saving? |
| 38809 | Well, can not we make dollars out of silver? |
| 38809 | Well, if it is, what''s the use of wasting it making one dollar bills? |
| 38809 | Well, we grew magnanimous, and let Dodds out of Fort Lafayette; and where do you suppose Dodds is now? |
| 38809 | Well, what is a dollar? |
| 38809 | Well, why do n''t you take it? |
| 38809 | Were the lives given for naught? |
| 38809 | What are the hopes, the emotions and the loves in its heart? |
| 38809 | What are the ideas in its brain? |
| 38809 | What are you now? |
| 38809 | What became of the other sixty- six cents? |
| 38809 | What can we do? |
| 38809 | What class of people does the State have in its power? |

| 38809 | What do they do? |
| 38809 | What do they want in Mexico? |
| 38809 | What do you propose to do? |
| 38809 | What do you suppose Dodds is doing? |
| 38809 | What do you want of their markets? |
| 38809 | What does a simple soldier know about the wants of the city of New York? |
| 38809 | What does he know about the wants of this great and splendid country? |
| 38809 | What does he say to the Southern people, to the colored people? |
| 38809 | What does that Government propose to give in exchange for that right? |
| 38809 | What does the American purchase? |
| 38809 | What does the General Government propose to give me in exchange for my allegiance? |
| 38809 | What effect will that have? |
| 38809 | What else do you want? |
| 38809 | What else is in this platform? |
| 38809 | What else were they fighting for? |
| 38809 | What else were they fighting for? |
| 38809 | What else would happen? |
| 38809 | What else? |

| 38809 | What is the next question? |
| 38809 | What is the next thing in this platform? |
| 38809 | What is the use of stopping there? |
| 38809 | What is the use of wasting all that silver? |

| 38809 | What more? |
| 38809 | What next do they charge against us? |
| 38809 | What next in this platform? |

| 37234 | How many parts are there in a sacrament? 37234 How many sacraments hath Christ ordained in his Church?" |
| 37234 | How,he asks,"can thought be conveyed to a man''s mind except through words?" |
| 37234 | I love and forgive, weak as I am; what must be the depth of the love and forgiveness of God? |
| 37234 | If there be a Godall the rest follows, but_ is there a God at all_ in the sense in which the word is generally used? |
| 37234 | Is not reciprocity such a word? |
| 37234 | Lord God of Sabaoth,or of"Hosts;"is this a reasonable name for one supposed to be a"God of peace?" |

| 37234 | What doth the Lord require of thee,is the reproving answer,"but to do justly and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?" |
| 37234 | What if the sin perpetuates itself, if the prolonged misery may be the offspring of the prolonged guilt? |
| 37234 | What is required of persons to be baptised? 37234 What is required of them who come to the Lord''s supper? |
| 37234 | What is the inward and spiritual grace? 37234 What is the outward visible sign, or form, in baptism? |
| 37234 | What is to be our conception of morality, is it to base itself on obedience to God, or is it to be sought for itself and its effects? |
| 37234 | What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? |

| 37234 | A child is told not to put his hand into the fire, he does so, and is burnt; the burning is a punishment, he is told; for what? |
| 37234 | After all, what does Prayer mean, boldly stated? |
| 37234 | Again, how can a"spirit"conceive a material body? |
| 37234 | Again, if we allow design we must ask,"how far does design extend?" |
| 37234 | Again, the first question is, what do we mean by intelligence? |
| 37234 | All beauty from life? |
| 37234 | Allowing to the full the honour due to the heroism of the nurse, what are we to say to the patient who accepts the sacrifice? |
| 37234 | Always ready to fall; but is God, then, always lying in wait to catch us tripping, and crush us with his judgments? |
| 37234 | And how far is it true that sickness is, in any sense, the visitation of God for moral delinquencies? |
| 37234 | And if not all, on what principle can we separate that which is designed from that which is not? |
| 37234 | And in the first place, the Devil himself-- of whom so decided and familiar a mention, as of one whom everybody knows, is made-- where lives he? |
| 37234 | And is the idea of God a reverent one? |
| 37234 | And is this the life which we are to regard as the model of heavenly beauty? |
| 37234 | And surely such power is not to be wasted? |
| 37234 | And the ear of man can not hear, and the eye of man can not see; But if we could see and hear, this Vision-- were it not He? |
| 37234 | And those which are not baptized? |
| 37234 | And what has constructive Rationalism to say to us, when we stand face to face with the mighty destroyer of all living things? |
| 37234 | And what is this"Faith"which we must keep whole and undefiled if we would save our souls alive? |
| 37234 | And what of the poor wounded, groaning below in the cockpit, whose heads the Lord hath not covered? |
| 37234 | And where is"the right hand"of Almighty God? |
| 37234 | And who is this who thus dethrones our heavenly Father? |
| 37234 | And who made the sinners? |
| 37234 | And who shall venture to say that he knows the mind of the Spirit better than the Spirit Himself?" |
| 37234 | And why will the laity not give utterance to their thoughts on these and all such objectionable parts of the Service? |
| 37234 | Are Jehu''s lying and slaughter right, because right in the eyes of Jehovah? |
| 37234 | Are heaven and hell both all round the world, and if so, why is one"up"and the other"down"? |
| 37234 | Are our eyes to be fixed on heaven or on earth? |
| 37234 | Are our senses deceived? |
| 37234 | Are the fetters which we are breaking for ourselves to be welded together again for the young limbs of our children? |
| 37234 | Are the old cruel laws of witchcraft right, because Jehovah doomed the witch to death? |
| 37234 | Are the ordeals of the Middle Ages right, because derived from the laws of Jehovah? |
| 37234 | At this point we are commonly overwhelmed with Paul''s notable argument--"Nay, but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God?" |
| 37234 | Belief in hell takes all beauty from virtue; who cares for obedience only rendered through fear? |
| 37234 | Besides, how can the child be taught to believe in one God if he finds three different gods all doing different things for him? |
| 37234 | Besides, what certainty can there be that the Holy Ghost is given at all? |
| 37234 | But can we think of power of choice in connection with God? |
| 37234 | But has the nurse a right to sacrifice her own life-- and an injury to health is a sacrifice of life-- for an obviously unequivalent advantage? |
| 37234 | But how do they nourish the soul? |
| 37234 | But how is it possible for us to distinguish whence these thoughts come? |
| 37234 | But if he be most merciful, whence all this need of weeping and wailing? |
| 37234 | But may he have respect to the acts and the sufferings of his sinless son? |
| 37234 | But persevere:"As explained by whom? |
| 37234 | But suppose the enemy is in the right, what then? |
| 37234 | But supposing there were a devil, and supposing he had works, how could the child renounce him? |
| 37234 | But taking the Bible as a rule of life, are we to copy its saints and its laws? |
| 37234 | But was it loving to create those who would only suffer for his glory? |
| 37234 | But we knew before that God was perfect: an example? |
| 37234 | But what does this Absolute imply? |
| 37234 | But what have all these in common with the demands of the Eternal Righteousness, and how can pain atone for sin? |
| 37234 | But what is the propitiatory element in the Christian Atonement? |
| 37234 | But why should the grace be"inward,"and why is the soul thought of as_ inside_ the body, instead of all through and over it? |
| 37234 | But, hanging on the cross, he said to the penitent thief:"_ To- day_ shalt thou be with me in Paradise:"is Paradise the same hell? |
| 37234 | By any one, to whom for the purpose of the inquiry the child has access, was he ever seen? |
| 37234 | By what marks and symptoms is he to know whether it really is or is not going on within him, as he is forced to> say it is? |
| 37234 | Can His knowledge be imperfect, His mercy increased? |
| 37234 | Can His sentence be swayed by prejudice, or made harsh by over- severity? |
| 37234 | Can a more ludicrous position be imagined; and Adam? |
| 37234 | Can any teaching be more utterly unwholesome? |
| 37234 | Can any woman be more degraded than she who only values her womanhood as a means of gain, who drinks, fights, and steals? |
| 37234 | Can any words be too strong whereby to denounce a doctrine so shameful, an injustice so glaring? |
| 37234 | Can anything be more unreal? |
| 37234 | Can not Christ"inherit the kingdom of God"? |
| 37234 | Can the one living and true God die to reconcile himself to himself, and to offer himself up a sacrifice to himself to appease his own wrath? |
| 37234 | Children are asked:"How will your body be when the devil has been striking it every moment for a hundred million years without stopping?" |
| 37234 | Could He, the impassive, suffer? |
| 37234 | Did not God, according to orthodoxy, plan all things with an infallible perception that the events foreseen must occur? |
| 37234 | Did not the old Fathers do well in making the awful ransom a matter between Jesus and the devil? |
| 37234 | Do people ever try to carry the mind back to the time before this"making,"and realise the period when nothing existed? |
| 37234 | Do they expect God to believe them, or to be deceived by such hypocrisy? |
| 37234 | Does God perceive what he did not know before? |
| 37234 | Does He accept sacrifice? |
| 37234 | Does he compare one fact with another? |
| 37234 | Does he draw conclusions from this correlation of perceptions, and thus judge what is best? |
| 37234 | Does he punish gladly, and keep his blow suspended, to fall at the first chance our weakness gives him? |
| 37234 | Does he remember, as we remember, long past events? |
| 37234 | Does not their own Bible tell them that the"potter hath power over the clay,"and, further, that"we are the clay and thou art the potter?" |
| 37234 | Does prayer make bad ships more seaworthy, or supply the place of stout iron and sound wood? |
| 37234 | Does the All- strong require to stir up his strength before he can crush a few men? |
| 37234 | Does the sentimental weakness of our age shrink from this doctrine, and whimper out that it is cold and stern? |
| 37234 | Duty is colder than"filial obedience?" |
| 37234 | Either the patient or the nurse must commit an heroic suicide for the sake of the other-- which shall it be? |
| 37234 | First,"to believe in him;"but how can the child believe in him until evidence be offered of his existence? |
| 37234 | For in answer to the question,"What is thy duty towards God?" |
| 37234 | For the Mighty, for the Incomprehensible, what can we do? |
| 37234 | For what does the prayer imply? |
| 37234 | For what has been the result of theology upon the whole? |
| 37234 | Four different things the child is to love God with: What does each mean? |
| 37234 | God makes man imperfect, frail, sinful, utterly unable to keep perfectly a perfect law: he therefore fails, and is-- what? |
| 37234 | Had they not God''s Own account of His creation, and did he pretend to know more about the matter than God Himself? |
| 37234 | Has he at least borne the pangs of remorse for us, the stings of conscience? |
| 37234 | Has he borne the physical consequences of sin, such as the loss of health caused by intemperance of all kinds? |
| 37234 | Has he borne the social consequences, shame, loss of credit, and so on? |
| 37234 | Having recited this, to him( as to everyone else) unintelligible creed, he is asked,"What dost thou chiefly learn in these articles of thy belief?" |
| 37234 | His passion arouses your sympathies, but you see no pathos in the passion of the poor? |
| 37234 | Hitherto the supernatural has always been the makeweight of human ignorance; is it, in truth, this and nothing else? |
| 37234 | How can that be a visitation of God for moral transgressions, which can be prevented by man if he attends to physical laws? |
| 37234 | How can we be sure that the Bishop is not an impostor, going through a conjuror''s gestures and mutterings, and no magic results accruing? |
| 37234 | How could our blessed Redeemer, after accomplishing the work of our salvation, ascend from a revolving earth? |
| 37234 | How does God protect"the persons of us, thy servants, and the fleet in which we serve?" |
| 37234 | How does he feel, now that the Holy Ghost is_ sanctifying_ him? |
| 37234 | How is heart to be distinguished from mind, soul, and strength? |
| 37234 | How is it that he would feel, if no such operation were going on within him? |
| 37234 | How is this to end? |
| 37234 | How many Prayers have gone up to the Father in heaven from his children overwhelmed in the sea, and drowning in floods, and encircled by fire? |
| 37234 | How many believe in the"everlasting damnation,"of the same verse, or really consider themselves in the smallest danger of it? |
| 37234 | How many cries of anguish from beside the beds of the dying, and the fresh graves of the newly- dead? |
| 37234 | How many passionate appeals of patriots and martyrs, of exiles and of slaves? |
| 37234 | How many really care to be delivered"from the crafts and assaults of the devil,"or believe in the existence of the devil at all? |
| 37234 | How, then, can the babe_ deserve_ God''s wrath and damnation? |
| 37234 | How_ can_ sin be forgiven? |
| 37234 | Humane child of human parents, or divine Son of the Almighty God? |
| 37234 | If God, being righteous, as we believe Him to be, regarded man with anger because of man''s sinfulness, what is obviously the required propitiation? |
| 37234 | If he be most merciful, what danger can there be of the bitter pains of eternal death? |
| 37234 | If he, who is God, is content to pardon and embrace, what further do sinners require? |
| 37234 | If his hearers regarded_ them_ as divine, what could he say to exalt_ him_ except that he was ever with God, nay, was himself God? |
| 37234 | If intellect and love reveal a design, what is revealed by brutality and hate? |
| 37234 | If man''s mind imply a master- mind, how much more that of God? |
| 37234 | If my thought is not mine, but God''s, how am I to know this? |
| 37234 | If not, then to what purpose is this_ renouncement?_ and, once more, what is it that is meant by it?" |
| 37234 | If not, then to what purpose is this_ renouncement?_ and, once more, what is it that is meant by it?" |
| 37234 | If not, what is the use of praying over it? |
| 37234 | If prayer be so efficacious, would it not be cheaper to use less wood and more prayer? |
| 37234 | If some phenomena are designed, why not all? |
| 37234 | If the answer be, that all this refers to the manhood of Jesus, then we inquire,"Is Christ divided?" |
| 37234 | If the latter are not the result of design, how did they become introduced into the universe? |
| 37234 | If the ship is not safe without prayer, will prayer make it so? |
| 37234 | If the whole affair be miraculous, why try to compromise matters with nature, by making this kind of pseudo- father? |
| 37234 | If they are vile, why do n''t they mend, instead of saying the same thing every year? |
| 37234 | If this be so, is it more reasonable to pray about things in the future than things in the past? |
| 37234 | If this be so, what becomes of the"resurrection of the flesh,"spoken of in the Baptismal and Visitation Offices? |
| 37234 | If we come to assumptions, have not I as much right to my assumption as my neighbour has to his? |
| 37234 | In our fear we long to escape from Him altogether and ask if this be possible? |
| 37234 | In the name of common sense, why? |
| 37234 | Inexorable law in the place of God? |
| 37234 | Instead of the encouragement we had found, what does Christianity offer us?--a perfect life? |
| 37234 | Is God supposed to rejoice over the sufferings of the defeated? |
| 37234 | Is God thus at the mercy of man? |
| 37234 | Is He Almighty? |
| 37234 | Is He impartial? |
| 37234 | Is He just? |
| 37234 | Is He loving? |
| 37234 | Is He truthful? |
| 37234 | Is Hosea''s marriage commendable, because commanded by Jehovah? |

| 37234 | Is a supreme selfishness to crown unselfishness at last? |
| 37234 | Is any dogmatic teaching to be a part of their moral training, and is the dogmatism against which we have rebelled to be revived in a new form? |
| 37234 | Is he easily pacified when offended? |
| 37234 | Is he everything or nothing? |
| 37234 | Is he to be thanked for slaying his creatures? |
| 37234 | Is it considered necessary to press God vehemently to hurry himself? |
| 37234 | Is it consistent to ask Christ to deliver us from His wrath? |
| 37234 | Is it in any such danger as that of having, at any time, to his knowledge, any sort of dealings with him? |
| 37234 | Is it more noble to relieve the sufferings of strangers, than to relieve the sufferings of his family? |
| 37234 | Is it possible to imagine things coming into existence,"something"emerging from where before"nothing"was? |
| 37234 | Is it quite honest to say in God''s praise a thing which we know to be untrue, and must we be unscientific because we are devotional? |
| 37234 | Is it supposed to train a child in the habit of truthfulness to make him recite as a religious lesson what is utterly and thoroughly untrue? |
| 37234 | Is it well to look to the purity of another as a makewight for our personal shortcomings? |
| 37234 | Is man''s power greater than God''s, and can he thus play with the thunderbolts of the divine displeasure? |
| 37234 | Is not sickness likely rather to bring out and strengthen mental faults than to weaken them? |
| 37234 | Is not this idea also the product of ignorance? |
| 37234 | Is not this the prayer of utter ignorance, the prayer of an unscientific age? |
| 37234 | Is our mental attitude to be that of kneeling or standing? |
| 37234 | Is prayer to God reasonable and helpful, the natural cry of a child for help from a Father in Heaven? |
| 37234 | Is the future to be like the past, and is science finally to obliterate the conception of a personal God? |
| 37234 | Is the man after God''s own heart a worthy model for imitation? |
| 37234 | Is the power to lead this life for ever to be our reward for self- devotion and self- sacrifice here on earth? |
| 37234 | Is the robbery of the Egyptians right, because commanded by Jehovah? |
| 37234 | Is there any impertinence so extreme as the prayer which"pleads"with the Deity? |
| 37234 | Is there one father, however brutalized, who would deliberately keep his child in sin because of a childish fault? |
| 37234 | Is this a wholesome sentiment, either as regards our feelings towards God or our efforts towards holiness? |
| 37234 | Is this addressed to God, or is it not? |
| 37234 | It lands them, it is true, in the most extreme Pantheism, but what of that? |
| 37234 | It was just before this was written that I read Charles Bradlaugh''s"Plea for Atheism"and his"Is there a God?". |
| 37234 | Jesus answered them,"Is it not written in your law, I said, ye are gods? |
| 37234 | John Wesley said that belief in witchcraft was incumbent on all those who believed the Bible, and if witchcraft was possible then, why not now? |
| 37234 | Just try asking your mentor,"_ whose_ Christianity am I to accept?" |
| 37234 | Life would be impossible were all this really believed; what priest could live in reasonable comfort if this were true and were realised? |
| 37234 | Love, Ruler of the world permeated through and through with pain, and sorrow, and sin? |
| 37234 | Love, mainspring of a nature whose cruelty is sometimes appalling? |
| 37234 | Love? |
| 37234 | Love? |
| 37234 | Love? |
| 37234 | Love? |
| 37234 | Marvels? |
| 37234 | May it not justly be said that belief in the Trinity in Unity is the negation of thought, and that faith is only possible where reason ends? |
| 37234 | May we hope to see Him in this world? |
| 37234 | Moses and Elijah, Isaiah and all the prophets? |
| 37234 | North, south, east, or west? |
| 37234 | Now in all sober seriousness what does this mean? |
| 37234 | Now, how far is all this consistent with justice? |
| 37234 | ON THE DEITY OF JESUS OF NAZARETH"WHAT think ye of Christ, whose son is he?" |
| 37234 | Obedience to your ideal of goodness and love, is it not so? |
| 37234 | Of course, the majority of English clergymen believe nothing of this kind; but then why do they read a service which implies it? |
| 37234 | Of what feelings is it productive? |
| 37234 | Or is it, on the other hand, a useless appeal to an unknown and irresponsible force? |
| 37234 | Perhaps he has struck at the root of evil, and has put away sin itself out of a redeemed world? |
| 37234 | Powers? |
| 37234 | Prayer? |
| 37234 | Redemption? |
| 37234 | Salvation? |
| 37234 | Shall the life be sacrificed, which is torture to its possessor, useless to society, and whose bounds are already clearly marked? |
| 37234 | Sin injures man already, why should he be further injured by endless agony? |
| 37234 | Surely all who are redeemed must also be sanctified, and should not the two passages touch only the same people? |
| 37234 | Surely this is not the spirit which breathed in,"If ye love them which love you, what thanks have ye?... |
| 37234 | Tell me how many there be? |
| 37234 | That there is no inspiration in the Bible? |
| 37234 | The Christian name of the child being given in answer to the first question of the Catechism, the second inquiry proceeds:"Who gave you this name?" |
| 37234 | The Nature of God, what is it? |
| 37234 | The belief was vowed before he had examined it; why should he profess it? |
| 37234 | The body and blood must be somehow in the bread and wine, and how is it managed that one part shall nourish the soul while the rest goes to the body? |
| 37234 | The child itself, did it ever see him? |
| 37234 | The child, has it ever happened to it to have any dealings with him? |
| 37234 | The commandments recited, the child is asked--"What dost thou chiefly learn by these commandments?" |
| 37234 | The idea, however, of"ransom"is connected with the work of Jesus, and the question arose,"to whom is this ransom paid?" |
| 37234 | The old wine is being poured into new bottles; what will be the result? |
| 37234 | The ordinary man or woman, on hearing this assertion, would probably answer--"Life sacred? |
| 37234 | The promises were made without his consent; why should he keep them? |
| 37234 | The question is rather this:"What are the limits of the religious education which it is wise to impose on the young? |
| 37234 | The questions, so familiar to every mother,"Can God see me?" |
| 37234 | The sick man might be blamed for falling because he did not lean on a stronger arm, but suppose he was too weak to grasp it? |
| 37234 | The unreality deepens in the next answer which is put into his mouth--"What did your godfathers and god- mothers then for you?" |
| 37234 | The whole office for infants reads like a play: the clergyman asks that the infant"may receive remission of his sins;"what sins? |
| 37234 | Then how is duty cold? |
| 37234 | Then why should God be wrath with him because he hath not? |
| 37234 | Then, in the name of candour and common sense, why call that just in God which we see would be so unjust and immoral in man? |
| 37234 | There can not be perception, memory, comparison, or judgment; but may there not be a perfect mind, unchanging, calm, and still? |
| 37234 | There is no warmth in brightening the lot of the sad, in reforming abuses, in establishing equal justice for rich and poor? |
| 37234 | This process, then, what is it? |
| 37234 | To be strengthened? |
| 37234 | To such-- and I meet many such-- I would suggest one very simple thought: does"Christianity"give any more certainty than rationalism? |
| 37234 | To which is he to bend his ear? |
| 37234 | Two armies ask for victory; which is to be crowned? |
| 37234 | Two people pray for exactly opposite things; whose Prayers are to be answered? |
| 37234 | Warmth in imagining the cloud- glories of heaven, but none in creating substantial glories on earth? |
| 37234 | Was Jesus inspired when he taught that the whole law was comprehended in one saying, namely,"Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself?" |
| 37234 | Was he present when God created the world, that he spoke so positively about its shape? |
| 37234 | Was it not rather a gigantic, an inconceivable selfishness? |
| 37234 | Was it probable, further, that God would have become incarnate for the sake of a world that was only one out of many revolving round the sun? |
| 37234 | Was not this accurate prescience based upon the inflexibility of God''s Eternal purposes? |
| 37234 | Was not this rendering evil for evil, railing for railing? |
| 37234 | Was this love? |
| 37234 | We are told that Christ took away the sins of the world; we have a right to ask,"how?" |
| 37234 | What God could do is no measure of man''s powers: what have we in common with this"God- man?" |
| 37234 | What became of his internal economy? |
| 37234 | What binding force can such promises as these have upon the conscience of anyone when he grows up? |
| 37234 | What common factor is there between a lie, and the"lake of fire in which all liars shall have their part?" |
| 37234 | What could reason, with all its vaunted powers, tell us of the long- past creation of the world? |
| 37234 | What could this pseudo- science give them in exchange for such a revelation as that? |
| 37234 | What do they all prove? |
| 37234 | What do we mean by"will?" |
| 37234 | What do you mean by filial obedience? |
| 37234 | What does this pleading of the Son on behalf of sinners imply? |
| 37234 | What easier pillow to rest the dying head on than the memory of a useful life? |
| 37234 | What freedom had Adam and Eve in Paradise? |
| 37234 | What has become of the"flesh and bones"which Christ had after his resurrection and with which, according to the 4th Article, he has gone into heaven? |
| 37234 | What has he then borne for us? |
| 37234 | What idea can a child have of conception by the Holy Ghost and being born of the Virgin Mary, in both which recondite mysteries he avows his belief? |
| 37234 | What is all this? |
| 37234 | What is he? |
| 37234 | What is the image of God? |
| 37234 | What is the inward and spiritual grace given unto the baby in baptism? |
| 37234 | What is the sentiment with which Canon Liddon closes a sermon on the death of Christ? |
| 37234 | What is thy duty toward thy neighbour? |
| 37234 | What is your hope? |
| 37234 | What kind of God is this who is to"come again"to a place where He is not now? |
| 37234 | What matter? |
| 37234 | What more do they want than an almighty reinforcement? |
| 37234 | What should we think of an earthly father who tortured one of his children in order to teach the others how to bear pain? |
| 37234 | What sins can a baby a week old have committed? |
| 37234 | What was the general aspect of affairs when there was"nothing?" |
| 37234 | What would happen if some consecrated bread and wine chanced to be left by mistake, and a stray comer into the vestry eat it unknowingly? |
| 37234 | What would he have said of the whitewash of unimputed righteousness? |
| 37234 | What, all? |
| 37234 | What, then, becomes of man''s boasted free will? |
| 37234 | What? |
| 37234 | When we see that that law is inexorable, of what use to protest against its absolute sway? |
| 37234 | When will men learn to stand upright on their feet, instead of thus crouching on their knees? |
| 37234 | When will they learn to strive to live nobly, and then to fear no celestial anger, either in life or in death? |
| 37234 | Where is"under the earth"? |
| 37234 | Where, too, is that Right Hand of God to which He went, in this new universe without top or bottom? |
| 37234 | Which be they? |
| 37234 | Which is right, the wrath or the love? |
| 37234 | Whither did He go? |
| 37234 | Who called them into the world without their own consent? |
| 37234 | Who could honour such a king as George IV.? |
| 37234 | Who is he? |
| 37234 | Who made it impossible for them to go to Jesus unless he drew them, and then did not draw them? |
| 37234 | Who made them with an evil nature? |
| 37234 | Who moulded them as the potter the clay? |
| 37234 | Who then will dare to push himself in between man and a God like this? |
| 37234 | Why do they put off their honesty when they put on their surplices? |
| 37234 | Why do they use words in a non- natural sense? |
| 37234 | Why in arguing from the evidences of adaptation should we assume that they are planned by a mind? |
| 37234 | Why may he predicate creation of one half of the universe, and I not predicate it of the other half? |
| 37234 | Why should I be called on to escape like a criminal from that which I do not deserve? |
| 37234 | Why should I be logical in one argument and illogical in another? |
| 37234 | Why should illness of the body correct illness of the mind; does pain cure fretfulness, or fever increase truthfulness? |
| 37234 | Why should one sinner die unshriven, when such death may be prevented by the diligence of the priest? |
| 37234 | Why should people thus play a farce beside the grave? |
| 37234 | Why should the child trust God''s mercy and goodness to protect him? |
| 37234 | Why should we pretend to God that we are Jews, when both He and we know perfectly well that we are nothing of the kind? |
| 37234 | Why should women be taught thus to abase themselves? |
| 37234 | Why then are infants baptised when by reason of their tender age they can not perform them? |
| 37234 | Why, am I not equally justified in assuming, if I please, that matter created spirit? |
| 37234 | Why, because I lie and forget God, should I be punished with fire and brimstone? |
| 37234 | Why? |
| 37234 | Why? |
| 37234 | Will not God, of his own accord, do things at the best possible time? |
| 37234 | Will the orthodox accept this position? |
| 37234 | Wilt thou delight thyself to think that God will invent torments for thee, sinner?" |
| 37234 | Wisdom and understanding are easily perceptible: are they wiser after Confirmation than they were before? |
| 37234 | Would it not be well if the Church would publish an"Explanation of the Catechism,"so that the children may know what they have renounced? |
| 37234 | Yet surely no one will contend that all these are"Prayer- hearing and Prayer- answering"Gods? |
| 37234 | Yet, is it more rational to ask him to change the things that are coming, and to alter the already- written chart of the future? |
| 37234 | You find warmth in the church, but none in the home? |
| 37234 | You"have tears to shed for him,"but none for the sufferer at your doors? |
| 37234 | _ Down_ into hell; which way is down from a round globe? |
| 37234 | a baby die unto sin? |
| 37234 | and further, is it possible for a Divine Being to make haste? |
| 37234 | and how many"former sins"are they as continually repenting of? |
| 37234 | and is heaven identical with both? |
| 37234 | and on what principle of selection shall I choose the one I am to curve? |
| 37234 | and yet was Confucius uninspired when, in answer to the question,"What one word would serve as a rule to one''s whole life?" |
| 37234 | and, since He is one with God, is He sitting at his own right hand? |
| 37234 | before doing that which is lawful and right? |
| 37234 | before repentance? |
| 37234 | before turning away from our wickedness? |
| 37234 | but it is only just born, surely there can be no need that it should be born over again so soon? |
| 37234 | can a past act be undone, or the hands go back on the sun- dial of Time? |
| 37234 | could He, the immortal, die? |
| 37234 | could He, the intangible, be crucified? |
| 37234 | could He, the omnipresent, be buried in one spot of earth, rise from it, and ascend to some place where he was not the moment before? |
| 37234 | do they know more? |
| 37234 | do they understand more rapidly? |
| 37234 | does it tend to the promotion of human happiness?" |
| 37234 | doth not the son bear the iniquity of the father? |
| 37234 | flesh and bones among pure spirits? |
| 37234 | for what sins can he ask forgiveness? |
| 37234 | from what sins can he need release? |
| 37234 | heart to pulse where no oxygen can purify the blood? |
| 37234 | how can it, when it is unconscious of sin, and therefore can not sin? |
| 37234 | how did something emerge where"nothing"was before? |
| 37234 | if God filled all space, was he"nothing?" |
| 37234 | if all are redeemed, what is the meaning of the phrase that"all the elect people of God"are sanctified by the Holy Ghost? |
| 37234 | if all are redeemed, why should he specially thank God that he himself is called and saved? |
| 37234 | if of no use, why make all this parade about giving a thing whose gift makes the recipient no richer than he was before? |
| 37234 | if of none effect can his presence be of any use, of the very smallest advantage? |
| 37234 | if there be no perceptible difference is the presence of the Holy Spirit of none effect? |
| 37234 | if we should condemn the earthly father as wickedly cruel, why should the same action be righteous when done by the Father in heaven? |
| 37234 | is the existence of nothing a conceivable idea? |
| 37234 | it starts from a different level: a Saviour? |
| 37234 | lungs to breathe where no air is? |
| 37234 | not a syllable conveying any such meaning:"that we may worship him, serve him, and obey him"? |
| 37234 | one mother who would aimlessly torture her son, keeping him alive but to torment? |
| 37234 | one or many? |
| 37234 | or are the signs of Jeremiah and Ezekiel the less childish and indecent because they are prefaced with,"thus saith Jehovah?" |
| 37234 | or has God changed his mind as to the proper method of dealing with such persons? |
| 37234 | or is it more heroic to die of voluntarily- contracted fever, than of voluntarily- taken chloroform? |
| 37234 | that it is of primary importance to the welfare of mankind that a false theory on this point should be destroyed and a more reasonable faith accepted? |
| 37234 | the form of man sitting on the throne of God? |
| 37234 | was he made originally with a rib too much, to provide against the emergency, or did he go, for the rest of his life, with a rib too little? |
| 37234 | we can not be safer than we are with God: an Advocate? |
| 37234 | we need none with our Father: a Substitute to endure God''s wrath for us? |
| 37234 | we urge;"why talk of justice in the matter if we are totally unable to judge as to the rights and wrongs of the case?" |
| 37234 | what terrible heresy have we been unwittingly committing ourselves to? |
| 37234 | which Prayer is he to answer? |
| 15202 | Am I? |
| 15202 | And did n''t you know the meaning of this, father? 15202 And did you happen to see anything of the gods,"asked Frigga,"as you came?" |
| 15202 | And how does that happen: have I not faithfully kept my promise; have you not everything that your heart desired? |
| 15202 | And nothing hurt him? |
| 15202 | And now may I ask what you can do yourself? |
| 15202 | And pray, in what may this youth be specially skilled? |
| 15202 | And what do you want of me? |
| 15202 | And what good would it be to you, Jason, if you were heir of that fair land? |
| 15202 | And why are you standing here all alone, my brave friend? |
| 15202 | And why is Baldur to be so honored,said he"that even steel and stone shall not hurt him?" |
| 15202 | And will you kill the Minotaur? 15202 And you will be careful, wo n''t you?" |
| 15202 | And, by the bye,said Mercury, with a look of fun and mischief in his eyes,"where is this village you talk about? |
| 15202 | Apples in winter, sister? 15202 Are not two stout sticks as good as two horses for helping one along on the road? |
| 15202 | Are you afraid? |
| 15202 | Are you indisposed? |
| 15202 | Are you quite sure, Midas, that you would never be sorry if your wish were granted? |
| 15202 | Art thou sure that thou didst see the Jomsvikings? |
| 15202 | As high as the sun? |
| 15202 | Athene, was my dream true? 15202 Aunty,"said the Rajah''s son,"why do n''t you light a lamp?" |
| 15202 | Ay, ay, my girl; and so thou wouldst be queen and lady over me? 15202 Be welcome, Siegfried,"she cried,"yet wherefore hast thou come again to Isenland?" |
| 15202 | But how am I to get the monkey here? 15202 But is there not something you dread here? |
| 15202 | But what cow,cried Cadmus,"and where shall I follow?" |
| 15202 | But what will you do? |
| 15202 | But who ever heard of strawberries ripening in the snow? |
| 15202 | But who gave it you? |
| 15202 | But, Noko,he continued,"what do you intend doing with all that cedar cord on your back?" |
| 15202 | But, my dear sister, who ever heard of violets blooming in the snow? |
| 15202 | By- the- bye,said the jellyfish,"have you ever seen the palace of the Dragon King of the Sea where I live?" |
| 15202 | Can it be possible that any will be so rash as to risk so much for a wife? |
| 15202 | Can it be that the apples have charmed her from her home? |
| 15202 | Can you save the boat and bring us to land? |
| 15202 | Comrade, what dost thou? |
| 15202 | Could the stranger have made a mistake,he wondered,"or had it been a dream?" |
| 15202 | Did I not forbid it to be green until my child should be sent back to me? |
| 15202 | Did you ever hear anything so wonderful? |
| 15202 | Do I? |
| 15202 | Do n''t you think it would be pleasanter if you and I sometimes gave each other a lift? |
| 15202 | Do you call it fair to stand with your bow and arrow ready to shoot at me when I have only a stick to defend myself with? 15202 Do you happen to have picked up my glove?" |
| 15202 | Do you know what the child''s name is? |
| 15202 | Do you mean to tell me that you ca n''t get the medicine here? |
| 15202 | Do you really, dear child? |
| 15202 | Do you see that beautiful white sandy beach? |
| 15202 | Do you see these big gates? 15202 Do you think he has stolen the meat?" |
| 15202 | Does the Earth dare to disobey me? |
| 15202 | Dost wish to be avenged upon Roland? 15202 Eh, what?" |
| 15202 | Esa,he replied,"what will I do with a dirty dogskin?" |
| 15202 | Fair Sir Ganelon,said King Marsil boldly, knowing his hatred,"tell me, how shall I slay Roland?" |
| 15202 | Friend,she said to the countryman,"tell me where is he who gave thee this ring?" |
| 15202 | Hallo, where are you? |
| 15202 | Hast thou any horned beasts, the Sheriff then said, Good fellow, to sell to me? 15202 Have I been dreaming?" |
| 15202 | Have I not? |
| 15202 | Have you left your liver behind you? |
| 15202 | Have you not? |
| 15202 | Have you other children? |
| 15202 | How am I to escape her eyes? |
| 15202 | How are we to get over this? |
| 15202 | How can I crush the oil out of all this mustard seed in one day? |
| 15202 | How can I fight with these two demons? |
| 15202 | How can I play a trick on a monkey? 15202 How can I tell you, Pandora?" |
| 15202 | How can any of my people capture a monkey? |
| 15202 | How far can you shoot, father? |
| 15202 | How now, little lady,he said,"pray what is the matter with you this morning?" |
| 15202 | I am not obliged to tell you, old graybeard; what business is it of yours? |
| 15202 | I beseech thee, noble knight,said the King,"tell me why thou hast journeyed to this our royal city?" |
| 15202 | I should love to go,said the monkey,"but how am I to cross the water? |
| 15202 | I want to know,replied Odin,"for whom Hela is making ready that gilded couch in Helheim?" |
| 15202 | I wonder if it will be the same at dinner,he thought,"and if so, how am I going to live if all my food is to be turned into gold?" |
| 15202 | I wonder what he will do next? 15202 I wonder,"said he,"how I must do it? |
| 15202 | If only you could capture one of those monkeys? |
| 15202 | Is it a he or a she? |
| 15202 | Is it much further,she asked,"and will you carry me back when I have seen your palace?" |
| 15202 | Is it now the time to fight with staves? 15202 Is it so beautiful as all that?" |
| 15202 | Is that your boy? |
| 15202 | Is there something alive in the box? 15202 Is this eaten or not?" |
| 15202 | Law, law? |
| 15202 | Men of God, may I warm myself at your fire? 15202 Men of God, may I warm myself at your fire? |
| 15202 | Mother, what do you want? |
| 15202 | Mr. Monkey, tell me, have you such a thing as a liver with you? |
| 15202 | Must I leave my home and my people? |
| 15202 | Must you really go? 15202 My child,"she said,"did you taste any food while you were in King Pluto''s palace?" |
| 15202 | My father? |
| 15202 | My friend, my Roland, who shall now lead my army? 15202 My lord,"said Tell, turning pale,"you do not mean that? |
| 15202 | No, no,he said,"why should I want to look at you?" |
| 15202 | No,said Tom,"my mother did not teach me that wit: who would be fool then?" |
| 15202 | No,was the reply, with his usual deceit;"how do you think_ he_ could get to this place? |
| 15202 | Noko,said he,"what is the matter?" |
| 15202 | Nothing,Hiawatha replied;"but can you tell me whether any one lives in this lake, and what brings you here yourself?" |
| 15202 | Now mother, why will you not let me sleep? |
| 15202 | Now tell me honestly,said he to Thor,"what do you think of your success?" |
| 15202 | Now, young man, when can I see these horned beasts of yours? |
| 15202 | O Frithiof why hast thou come hither to steal an old man''s bride? |
| 15202 | O father, where are you going? |
| 15202 | O master dear, what has happened? |
| 15202 | O my sweet purple violets, shall I ever see you again? |
| 15202 | Oh, may I? 15202 Oh, where is my dear child?" |
| 15202 | Poor little orphan,he said sadly,"what will become of thee without a mother''s care?" |
| 15202 | Pray who are you, kind fairy? |
| 15202 | Pray, my young friend, what is your name? |
| 15202 | Proserpina, Proserpina did you call her? |
| 15202 | Seest thou the fairest of the band,cried the King,"she who is clad in a white garment? |
| 15202 | Shall the pawn save the king? |
| 15202 | Sir Siegfried,he said,"wilt thou help me to win the matchless maiden Brunhild for my queen?" |
| 15202 | Sir,said the monster,"who gave you permission to come this way? |
| 15202 | Sire,he said,"hast thou forgotten thy promise, that when Brunhild entered the royal city thy lady sister should be my bride?" |
| 15202 | Son of Satan,said the keeper,"why do you let your horse stray in the cornfields?" |
| 15202 | Star of day,she replied,"whom could I have here that you would not see sooner than I? |
| 15202 | Strangers, who are ye? |
| 15202 | Tell me what it is you want for the Queen? |
| 15202 | Tell me, Sire,he said,"what grief oppresseth thee?" |
| 15202 | Tell me, do you really wish to get rid of your fatal gift? |
| 15202 | Tell me, have you seen him pass? |
| 15202 | Tell,he said at last,"that was a fine shot, but for what was the other arrow?" |
| 15202 | Tell? |
| 15202 | That is the most important thing of all,said the stupid jellyfish,"so as soon as I recollected it, I asked you if you had yours with you?" |
| 15202 | The archbishop, where is he? 15202 The way is long,"said Rustem;"how shall I go?" |
| 15202 | Then why did you not bring more? |
| 15202 | Then you are not satisfied? |
| 15202 | There is Ogier the Dane,said Ganelon quickly,"who better?" |
| 15202 | This is not the season for violets; dost thou not see the snow everywhere? |
| 15202 | This is the river Lethe,said King Pluto;"do you not think it a very pleasant stream?" |
| 15202 | This is the strangest thing I have ever known,said Pandora, rather frightened,"What will Epimetheus say? |
| 15202 | To the house of Dède- Vsévède? 15202 Very miserable, are you?" |
| 15202 | Well, friend Midas,he said,"pray how are you enjoying your new power?" |
| 15202 | Well, how high? 15202 Well,"said Loki to himself,"if this is the sport of Asgard, what must that of Jötunheim be? |
| 15202 | Well,said the wolf,"whom do you think is the fastest of the boys? |
| 15202 | What adventure has brought you here? |
| 15202 | What ails thee, Polyphemus? |
| 15202 | What can I do? |
| 15202 | What can it be? |
| 15202 | What can that be? |
| 15202 | What causes these cries? |
| 15202 | What delightful milk, Mother Baucis,said Mercury,"may I have some more? |
| 15202 | What did you see? |
| 15202 | What did you see? |
| 15202 | What do you want, mother? |
| 15202 | What does the man mean,thought the old farmer,"calling this largely populated city a cemetery?" |
| 15202 | What does this mean? |
| 15202 | What dost thou demand of my master? |
| 15202 | What god can tempt one so young and handsome to throw himself away? 15202 What has brought thee here? |
| 15202 | What has she got to love? 15202 What have you in that box, Epimetheus?" |
| 15202 | What have you there, my man? |
| 15202 | What is Theseus to you? |
| 15202 | What is that the Valkyries are saying? |
| 15202 | What is the matter with you? |
| 15202 | What is the matter, dear Baldur? |
| 15202 | What is the matter, father? |
| 15202 | What kind of a staff had he? |
| 15202 | What man hurt you that you roared so loud? |
| 15202 | What man is this,she asked,"who dares disturb my sleep?" |
| 15202 | What orders have you for to- day? |
| 15202 | What rage possesseth thee? 15202 What says the man?" |
| 15202 | What shall I do now? |
| 15202 | What shall I do, then? |
| 15202 | What towers are these? |
| 15202 | What was it, mother? |
| 15202 | What was the old woman like? |
| 15202 | What were they doing? |
| 15202 | What will you call your castle? |
| 15202 | What would satisfy you? |
| 15202 | When our lord and King gave us swords and armor,he cried,"did we not promise to follow him in battle whenever he had need? |
| 15202 | Whence sail ye over the watery ways? 15202 Where are my wife and my children?" |
| 15202 | Where are you? |
| 15202 | Where art thou, Roland? |
| 15202 | Where did you find them? |
| 15202 | Where did you gather them? |
| 15202 | Where did you get all that betel- leaf? |
| 15202 | Where do you come from? 15202 Where do you come from?" |
| 15202 | Where has master gotten that Maypole? |
| 15202 | Where have you seen any Apples like them? |
| 15202 | Where is Heraud, who never yet forsook man in need? |
| 15202 | Where is Proserpina, you naughty sea- children? |
| 15202 | Where is he? 15202 Where shall I go?" |
| 15202 | Where, then, is Heraud? |
| 15202 | Where,said he to himself,"is the reservoir from which this creature drinks?" |
| 15202 | Wherever did you find them? |
| 15202 | Which of them do you love best? |
| 15202 | Who are the strangers who come thus unheralded to my land? |
| 15202 | Who are ye, wonder- working strangers? |
| 15202 | Who are you, bold youth? |
| 15202 | Who are you, lady? 15202 Who are you?" |
| 15202 | Who are you? |
| 15202 | Who are you? |
| 15202 | Who art thou, fair fly, who hast walked into the spider''s web? |
| 15202 | Who art thou, thou brave youth? |
| 15202 | Who dares to disobey my orders? |
| 15202 | Who has done this foul murder? |
| 15202 | Who is that? |
| 15202 | Who makes the law, you or I? |
| 15202 | Who would have thought it? 15202 Who''s there?" |
| 15202 | Whose can these ships be? |
| 15202 | Whose house is this? |
| 15202 | Why are you so frightened, my little girl? |
| 15202 | Why com''st thou here? 15202 Why did you take hold of my hook? |
| 15202 | Why do n''t you go to work, my lad? |
| 15202 | Why do n''t_ you_ throw something at Baldur? 15202 Why do you look so grave, my lord?" |
| 15202 | Why do you look so sad? |
| 15202 | Why do you roar like that? |
| 15202 | Why dost thou cry aloud in the night and awake us from our sleep? 15202 Why hast thou done this?" |
| 15202 | Why is my liver so important to you? |
| 15202 | Why is there always snow on the mountains, father? |
| 15202 | Why should I bow to a cap? |
| 15202 | Why should I leave my bow behind? 15202 Why,"said he,"do you strike me so?" |
| 15202 | Why? |
| 15202 | Will he never come back to Asgard again? |
| 15202 | Will the dog bite me? |
| 15202 | Will you come with me into the fields,she asked,"and I will gather flowers and make you each a wreath?" |
| 15202 | Will you kindly show me the way to the highroad? 15202 Wo n''t he be very heavy?" |
| 15202 | You are new to the business? |
| 15202 | You are very fond of your children, Tell? |
| 15202 | You have not been here before? |
| 15202 | You kill me by saying so,cried Mother Ceres, almost ready to faint;"where was the sound, and which way did it seem to go?" |
| 15202 | You''re not going yet, are you? |
| 15202 | Yours is a kind welcome, very different from the one we got in the village; pray why do you live in such a bad place? |
| 15202 | After a while his heart began to fail him, and he sighed and said within himself,"What if my father have other sons around him, whom he loves? |
| 15202 | After a while, as he was thus musing, there appeared before him one in white garments, who said unto him,"Sleepest thou or wakest thou, Rodrigo?" |
| 15202 | Alas, my little child, what will become of thee when I am gone?" |
| 15202 | All at once he cried out, with a loud and terrified voice,"What is that behind you?" |
| 15202 | Am I one to whom you can say,''Come down from your throne, and present yourself before me?'' |
| 15202 | And Medeia said slowly,"Why should you die? |
| 15202 | And besides, who would dare to attack Roland? |
| 15202 | And he asked him,"Will you leave your mountains, Orpheus, my playfellow in old times, and sail with the heroes to bring home the Golden Fleece? |
| 15202 | And how do you know my name?" |
| 15202 | And how shall I slay her, if her scales be iron and brass?" |
| 15202 | And if I give command of the rear to Roland, who, then, shall lead the van?" |
| 15202 | And if it be the will of Heaven that you should fall by the hand of the White Genius, who can change the ordering of destiny? |
| 15202 | And now must I go out again, to the ends of all the earth, far away into the misty darkness? |
| 15202 | And she asked,"Do you see the land beyond?" |
| 15202 | And she whispered to Medeia, her sister,"Why should all these brave men die? |
| 15202 | And the herald asked in wonder,"Fair youth, do you know whither you are going?" |
| 15202 | And then, what do you think happened? |
| 15202 | And they asked,"How shall we set your spirit free?" |
| 15202 | And to what end? |
| 15202 | And what do you think he saw? |
| 15202 | And what was the Golden Fleece? |
| 15202 | And who will show me the way? |
| 15202 | And will you charm for us all men and all monsters with your magic harp and song?" |
| 15202 | And will you stay with us,"asked Epimetheus,"for ever and ever?" |
| 15202 | Are they not a beautiful color? |
| 15202 | Are they not fine and fat? |
| 15202 | Are ye merchants? |
| 15202 | Are you careless of your life? |
| 15202 | Are you not dreadfully hungry, is there nothing I can get you to eat?" |
| 15202 | Are you stronger than your uncle Pelias the Terrible?" |
| 15202 | As high as the snow- mountains?" |
| 15202 | As soon as the pole was set up a herald stepped out, blew his trumpet and cried,"Se ye this cap here set up? |
| 15202 | As these butchers had nothing to do, they began to talk among themselves and say,"Who is this man? |
| 15202 | As you have never seen the palace of the Dragon King, wo n''t you avail yourself of this splendid opportunity by coming with me? |
| 15202 | At first Marouckla was afraid, but after a while her courage returned and drawing near she said:"Men of God, may I warm myself at your fire? |
| 15202 | At last he said,"Now, Will, do n''t you think that is enough?" |
| 15202 | At last, however, he found voice to ask,"What is your name?" |
| 15202 | At length his grandmother asked him,"Hiawatha, what is the matter with you?" |
| 15202 | At the head? |
| 15202 | At this she grew very angry and said,"How couldst_ thou_ see in darkness? |
| 15202 | Aulad said to him,"Who are you? |
| 15202 | But Aietes thought,"Who is this, who is proof against all magic? |
| 15202 | But Odin asked very gravely,"Is the shadow gone out of our son''s heart, or is it still there?" |
| 15202 | But Theseus wept,"Shall I leave you, O my mother?" |
| 15202 | But after a moment Pelias spoke gently,"Why so rash, my son? |
| 15202 | But am I not superior to them in courage, in power and wealth? |
| 15202 | But are you not Hiawatha himself?" |
| 15202 | But each man''s neighbor whispered in return,"His shoulders are broad; will you rise and put him out?" |
| 15202 | But he said hastily,"Do you not know who this Theseus is? |
| 15202 | But how shall I cross the seas without a ship? |
| 15202 | But how was it to be done? |
| 15202 | But in whom does he trust for help?" |
| 15202 | But now what can I do? |
| 15202 | But perhaps, as you are a tiger, when I have made you well, you will eat me?" |
| 15202 | But soon he looked at Pelias, and when he saw that he still wept, he said,"Why do you look so sad, my uncle?" |
| 15202 | But still she sighed and said,"Why will you die, young as you are? |
| 15202 | But tell me where thou didst leave thy good ship? |
| 15202 | But tell me, do the serpents ever appear? |
| 15202 | But when spring had come, a herald stood in the market- place and cried,"O people and King of Athens, where is your yearly tribute?" |
| 15202 | But where are we most likely to find a monkey?" |
| 15202 | But where is my brother? |
| 15202 | But who can tell us where among them is hid the Golden Fleece?" |
| 15202 | But why cometh he within our borders? |
| 15202 | Cadmus thought,"or did I really hear a voice?" |
| 15202 | Can not you get me a wife?" |
| 15202 | Can you give me a plan, Jason, by which I can rid myself of that man?" |
| 15202 | Can you guess who I am? |
| 15202 | Can you tell by the jumps they take?" |
| 15202 | Can you tell me what has become of my little daughter Proserpina?" |
| 15202 | Cheiron sighed and said,"Will you go to Iolcos by the sea? |
| 15202 | Could this be his long lost sister Europa coming to make him happy after all these weary years of searching and wandering? |
| 15202 | Could you, good mother, put me on the right road?" |
| 15202 | Dare you brave Medusa the Gorgon?" |
| 15202 | Did Guy, I wonder, or some other, in days of loneliness and despair, carve these words? |
| 15202 | Do not you care what you do? |
| 15202 | Do you dare to disobey me?" |
| 15202 | Do you mock at poor old souls like me?" |
| 15202 | Do you not know how I make all stand in fear of me? |
| 15202 | Do you not think that these diamonds which I have had dug out of the mine for you are far prettier than violets?" |
| 15202 | Do you see this lovely crown on my head? |
| 15202 | Do you want to buy some?" |
| 15202 | Dost thou not see how many thousand heads hang upon yonder tree-- heads of those who have offended against my laws? |
| 15202 | Dost thou take him for an enemy? |
| 15202 | Europa was very frightened, and she started up from among the tulips and lilies and cried out,"Cadmus, brother Cadmus, where are you? |
| 15202 | For how much longer must this poor old man continue to row?" |
| 15202 | For what man might tell which from that fight should come forth victorious? |
| 15202 | From whence didst thou get it?" |
| 15202 | Good Phoebus, will you come with me to demand my daughter from this wicked Pluto?" |
| 15202 | Had Eurydice really followed his steps, or had she turned back, and was all his toil in vain? |
| 15202 | Had they such warriors as you, and Rustem your son? |
| 15202 | Has an adventure come to me already?" |
| 15202 | Has everything sworn then?" |
| 15202 | Has he been vanquished by the warrior- queen? |
| 15202 | Has not the old world perished, and all that was in it?" |
| 15202 | Hath she picked up a shipwrecked stranger, or is this one of the gods who has come to make her his wife?'' |
| 15202 | He checked his horse and, gazing angrily round the crowd,"What is this rioting?" |
| 15202 | He cried out,"Tyau, why do you strike me, you old dog?" |
| 15202 | He robs people, he-- do you think we will meet him?" |
| 15202 | He said:"Oh, tongue, what is this that you have done through your greediness? |
| 15202 | He stopped for a moment, but then said to himself,"What have I to lose? |
| 15202 | Hippomenes, not daunted by this result, fixing his eyes on the virgin, said,"Why boast of beating those laggards? |
| 15202 | His wife, seeing him, exclaimed in great surprise,"What has happened to you?" |
| 15202 | How can I cut that thick tree- trunk in two with a wax hatchet?" |
| 15202 | How can I do this?" |
| 15202 | How can I ever do that?" |
| 15202 | How can I possibly tie it up again?" |
| 15202 | How can I trust thee?" |
| 15202 | How much do you want for it? |
| 15202 | How say you? |
| 15202 | How then will you do it?" |
| 15202 | I am very poor, no one cares for me, I have not even a fire in my cottage; will you let me warm myself at yours?" |
| 15202 | I looked at that spot only a moment ago; why did I not see the flowers?" |
| 15202 | I pray you, good shepherds, tell me where they may be found?" |
| 15202 | I see you have been gathering flowers? |
| 15202 | I wonder what Father Odin and Mother Frigga would say if they were here?" |
| 15202 | III HOW THEY BUILT THE SHIP ARGO So the heralds went out and cried to all the heroes,"Who dare come to the adventures of the Golden Fleece?" |
| 15202 | If he die, where shall I find such another?" |
| 15202 | If you had fallen under his claws, how should I have carried to Mazanderan this cuirass and helmet, this lasso, my bow and my sword?" |
| 15202 | In the midst of his trouble he met an old woman who said,"Where are you going, Plavacek? |
| 15202 | Is Baldur going to Helheim?" |
| 15202 | Is n''t it a lovely day?" |
| 15202 | Is there any knight among you who will fight this giant? |
| 15202 | Is there no more corn, that men can not make bread and give us? |
| 15202 | It is a bargain, is n''t it?" |
| 15202 | Luckless wretch, what brings you to this mountain?" |
| 15202 | May I, mother?" |
| 15202 | Meanwhile the Blind Man called out to his friend:"Where am I? |
| 15202 | Medeia''s heart pitied the heroes, and Jason most of all, and she answered,"Our father is stern and terrible, and who can win the Golden Fleece?" |
| 15202 | Oh my Emperor, my friend, alas, why wert thou not here? |
| 15202 | Oliver, my brother, how shall we speed him now our mournful news?" |
| 15202 | Oliver, where art thou?" |
| 15202 | One observed,"Why do n''t you attend the sick, and not sit there making such a noise?" |
| 15202 | Pandora sobbed:"No, no, I am afraid; there are so many troubles with stings flying about that we do not want any more?" |
| 15202 | Rustem said to Aulad,"What mean these fires that are blazing up to right and left of us?" |
| 15202 | Shall I slay the Gorgon?" |
| 15202 | Skrymner half opened the eye nearest to Thor, and said in a very sleepy voice,"Why will the leaves drop off the trees?" |
| 15202 | So she called out,"Father Cobra, father Cobra, my husband has come to fetch me; will you let me go?" |
| 15202 | So the mighty army passed onward through the vale of Roncesvalles without doubt or dread, for did not Roland the brave guard the rear? |
| 15202 | Sternly Aietes looked at the heroes, and sternly he spoke and loud,"Who are you, and what want you here that you come to our shore? |
| 15202 | Still Theseus came steadily on, and he asked,"And what is your name, bold spider, and where are your spider''s fangs?" |
| 15202 | Surely no one stealeth thy flocks? |
| 15202 | Swiftly then the Prince drew his sword, well tempered as he knew, for had not he himself wrought it in the forge of Mimer the blacksmith? |
| 15202 | THE SUN; OR, THE THREE GOLDEN HAIRS OF THE OLD MAN VSÉVÈDE ADAPTED BY ALEXANDER CHODSKO Can this be a true story? |
| 15202 | Tell me, for pity''s sake, have you seen my poor child Proserpina pass by the mouth of your cave?" |
| 15202 | Tell me, how did it happen?" |
| 15202 | Tell me, then, why you come?" |
| 15202 | The King looked at him attentively, then turning to the fisherman, said,"That is a good- looking lad; is he your son?" |
| 15202 | The King saw the crown, set with precious stones, and said,"To what end bring ye hither this crown?" |
| 15202 | The Prince showed him the mustard seed, and said to him,"How can I crush the oil out of all this mustard seed in one day? |
| 15202 | The Rajah''s son asked some men he saw,"Whose country is this?" |
| 15202 | The Sheriff''s house was close to the town hall, so as dinner was not quite ready all the butchers went to say"How do you do?" |
| 15202 | The bird inquired,"What are you doing here?" |
| 15202 | The devils in great surprise jumped up, saying,"Who is this?" |
| 15202 | The great Setchène raised his head and answered:"What brings thee here, my daughter? |
| 15202 | The great Setchène raised his head and asked:"Why comest thou here? |
| 15202 | The people crowded round and asked them,"Who are you, that you sit weeping here?" |
| 15202 | The young wolves were in the act of running off, when Hiawatha cried out,"My grandchildren, where are you going? |
| 15202 | Then Circe cried to Medeia,"Ah, wretched girl, have you forgotten your sins that you come hither, where the flowers bloom all the year round? |
| 15202 | Then Earl Eric, Hakon''s son, who loved brave men, said,"Vagn, wilt thou accept life?" |
| 15202 | Then Orpheus sighed,"Have I not had enough of toil and of weary wandering far and wide, since I lived in Cheiron''s cave, above Iolcos by the sea? |
| 15202 | Then Theseus laughed and said,"Am I not safe enough now?" |
| 15202 | Then Theseus shouted to him,"Holla, thou valiant Pine- bender, hast thou two fir- trees left for me?" |
| 15202 | Then he asked them,"By what road shall I go homeward again?" |
| 15202 | Then he clasped her in his arms, and cried,"Where are these sea- gods, cruel and unjust, who doom fair maids to death? |
| 15202 | Then he cried to Athene,"Shall I never see my mother more, and the blue ripple of the sea and the sunny hills of Hellas?" |
| 15202 | Then he looked down through the cloud and said,"Are you all weeping?" |
| 15202 | Then he said to him again,"Good bangle- seller, I would see these strange people of whom you speak; can not you take me there?" |
| 15202 | Then he said to the parrots,"Who is the Princess Labam? |
| 15202 | Then he said,"And will you now come home with me?" |
| 15202 | Then he sighed and asked,"Is it true what the heroes tell me-- that I am heir of that fair land?" |
| 15202 | Then he thought of his tiger: and the tiger and his wife came to him and said,"Why are you so sad?" |
| 15202 | Then if it is not so, when will he cease his wars?" |
| 15202 | Then recovering himself he got down from his horse and said:"I want a trusty messenger to take a message to the palace, could you send him with it?" |
| 15202 | Then said Cincinnatus, being not a little astonished,"Is all well?" |
| 15202 | Then said Odysseus:"How can I be at peace with thee, Circe? |
| 15202 | Then she loved him all the more and said,"But when you have killed him, how will you find your way out of the labyrinth?" |
| 15202 | Then the king died, and there was great dismay in the city, for where would they find a good ruler to sit on the throne? |
| 15202 | These he put on the tigers to make them beautiful, and he took them to the King, and said to him,"May these tigers fight your demons for me?" |
| 15202 | Theseus walked on steadily, and made no answer, but he thought,"Is this some robber? |
| 15202 | They saw Theseus and called to him,"Holla, tall stranger at the door, what is your will to- day?" |
| 15202 | They went outside the sacred wall and looked down over the bright blue sea, and Aithra said,"Do you see the land at our feet?" |
| 15202 | This Cobra was a very wise animal, and seeing the maiden, he put his head out of his hole, and said to her:"Little girl, why do you cry?" |
| 15202 | This time the brother was in a better temper, so he lent what was asked of him, but said mockingly,"What can such beggars as you have to measure?" |
| 15202 | This time they gathered with less fear and less secrecy, for was not the dreaded governor dead? |
| 15202 | Three days he kept Ferbad as his guest, and then sent back by him this answer:"Shall the water of the sea be equal to wine? |
| 15202 | To her maidens then she called:"Why do ye run away at the sight of a man? |
| 15202 | To what have my English come that I may not find one knight among them bold enough to do battle for his King and country? |
| 15202 | To whom therefore shall I trust the rear- guard that we may march in surety?" |
| 15202 | V WEEPING"Well, Hermod, what did she say?" |
| 15202 | Was it a saint who kneeled, or was it the Lord Himself? |
| 15202 | Was it near here, or at the far end of the island?" |
| 15202 | Was it not splendid?" |
| 15202 | Was the King''s wonderful palace falling to pieces? |
| 15202 | Were ever any so divinely beautiful? |
| 15202 | Were not these sandals to lead me in the right road?" |
| 15202 | Were peasants ever more unruly and discontented? |
| 15202 | Were you made of iron, could you venture to deal alone with these sons of Satan?" |
| 15202 | What ails you that you tarry here, doing no thing?" |
| 15202 | What are all these splendors if she has no one to care for? |
| 15202 | What are you doing here? |
| 15202 | What can be done to make it fruitful?" |
| 15202 | What can be the matter?" |
| 15202 | What can this one do?" |
| 15202 | What can we do?" |
| 15202 | What cruel men have bound you? |
| 15202 | What did he care for danger? |
| 15202 | What do you think of my horned beasts?" |
| 15202 | What dost thou seek?" |
| 15202 | What dost thou seek?" |
| 15202 | What dost thou seek?" |
| 15202 | What dost thou seek?" |
| 15202 | What has happened? |
| 15202 | What have you in your saddle- bags, then?" |
| 15202 | What if he will not receive me? |
| 15202 | What if there be another noble deed to be done before I see the sunny hills of Hellas?" |
| 15202 | What is all this crying about?" |
| 15202 | What is it for?" |
| 15202 | What is the matter with them? |
| 15202 | What is the present to be?" |
| 15202 | What must be done to restore the flow of water?" |

| 15202 | Why does not my father give up the fleece, that my husband''s spirit may have rest?" |
| 15202 | Why halt? |
| 15202 | Why left he us not in peace?" |
| 15202 | Why should I fear? |

| 45053 | And, if so, on what dates? |
| 45053 | Anyone wishing to form some idea of an experience of this sort should read The Bible: Is it the Word of God? |

| 45053 | Are we not children of God in a strange country? |
| 45053 | Are we not, then, to take the author of"The Acts"literally when he informs us that Christ spent forty days on earth after His resurrection? |
| 45053 | Are we right, then, in permitting our children''s minds to be imbued with a"sure and certain hope of the resurrection to eternal life"? |
| 45053 | Are we to conclude that this is a proof of the divine origin of Christianity? |
| 45053 | Are we to suppose that He pretended to be ignorant? |
| 45053 | Are we, then, more merciful than God? |
| 45053 | Are you and I any unhappier than the believer? |
| 45053 | Besides, after all, what is there in the broad facts of modern science which could not be explained to an intelligent savage to- day? |
| 45053 | But are we now any less happy than our fellows who are believers? |
| 45053 | But need we wait long weary years, burdened with the thousand and one curses of war and militarism,[ 382] till this supreme horror has been invented? |
| 45053 | But what does this special pleading amount to? |
| 45053 | But what will be the result of this thinking? |

| 45053 | Could not the Church spare a little of her military ardour( exhibited in the arm- chair and pulpit) for supporting peaceful projects of this nature? |
| 45053 | Did He not know that we should therefore require absolute proof before we could believe that they had been broken in a bygone and credulous age?" |
| 45053 | Did He, or did He not, know what we now know? |
| 45053 | Did not our British forefathers think, and with more reason, that"men of honour"could settle their disputes only by the duel? |
| 45053 | Do not these visions, too, usually take their form from the teaching with which the mind has been imbued? |
| 45053 | Do the above- stated facts bear out that contention? |
| 45053 | Do these facts bear out the Christian contention that Christianity purifies empire? |

| 45053 | Do they not, however, still survive when human emotions, such as love and anger, happiness and sorrow, are attributed to the Deity? |
| 45053 | Do we not guard them against the inglorious possibilities-- the slavery of vice? |
| 45053 | Do we not see it flaring up again in the"War of the Kirks,"the Education controversy, and the arguments for the retention of the Athanasian Creed? |
| 45053 | Does Dr. Flint mean to say that there is an after- life for all living things? |
| 45053 | Does God reveal Himself, then, only or especially to the æsthetic? |

| 45053 | Does it not at the present time surpass, in the number of its followers and the area of its prevalence, any other form of creed? |
| 45053 | Does it not furnish a damaging commentary on one of the strongest arguments for belief-- the argument from religious consolation? |
| 45053 | Does it not give us a thrill of pleasure when the lion is baulked of his prey-- when the pet lamb is rescued from the butcher? |
| 45053 | Does not scepticism lead to atheism? |
| 45053 | Does not this deep and sympathetic writer furnish us with a true picture of men''s hearts? |

| 45053 | Even if your body had health, would your mind have peace without morality?" |
| 45053 | Even now how many disbelieve or preserve an agnosticism regarding the chief dogmas of the Christian creed? |
| 45053 | Fielding so eloquently discourses in his Hearts of Men, do they not need to be carefully controlled by reason? |
| 45053 | For why not, then, allow the process of strengthening to continue by these means? |
| 45053 | Good, very good; such views appeal to us as being more humane and rational; but are they compatible with the truth of the Bible? |
| 45053 | Granted; but at what stage of development did this poor wretch ever get a proper chance? |

| 45053 | Have they ever dwelt upon their imperfections? |
| 45053 | Have we not here a satisfactory and perfectly natural explanation of the phenomena of conversion? |
| 45053 | Have we not seen, however, that primitive beliefs were the natural offspring of fear and wonder? |
| 45053 | Have we, then, any right to disturb people''s belief, and to lacerate their feelings? |

| 45053 | How does he come here? |
| 45053 | How few of us have ever had our belief tested by searching questions such as a cultured heathen would put if we tried to convert him? |

| 45053 | How, then, does he explain the virtues of the Japanese? |
| 45053 | I would ask my readers kindly to put to themselves the following crucial questions: To what party do the religious bigots and their partisans belong? |
| 45053 | If God intended the sun to be a symbol of Christ, why have we never been told this before? |
| 45053 | If Jews and Christians still really believe in this story, how is it that the rainbow attracts not the slightest devout attention? |
| 45053 | If conscience, then, be fallible, how is it a Theistic proof? |
| 45053 | If it be urged that such trials of faith are useful, why should it be the thoughtful of future generations who are chiefly to be so tried? |
| 45053 | If man is not doing his best in obeying the behests of his Maker, how can he do right? |
| 45053 | If the pious lady who contributes towards mission work in China only knew of this, would she be pleased? |
| 45053 | If the symbolical sun leads such a great and heavenly flock, what must be said of the true and only begotten Son of God? |
| 45053 | If this be not word- spinning, then what is? |
| 45053 | If this be so, how comes it that such a vast number of the pious still adhere to the old ideas? |
| 45053 | If we are disposed to say: Cui bono? |
| 45053 | If we do not so believe, why do we say we do when we repeat the Creed? |
| 45053 | If we fail in our duty to them and they fall, should we add to our guilt by perpetrating on them unimaginable cruelties? |
| 45053 | If we inquired of the average religionist, should we find that his or her ideas had been revolutionised? |
| 45053 | If women only knew of these sayings, would they approve of the"appeal to the first six centuries"? |
| 45053 | If, then, God put upon the bridge a weight equal to double the bearing strain, how could God justly blame the bridge for falling?" |
| 45053 | In a lecture reported in the Tablet, Father Gerard voiced the growing feeling of apprehension when he referred to the"Do We Believe?" |
| 45053 | In our own times, was it not working men who first set in motion a revolution that will eventually reform Russia? |

| 45053 | Is he, then, oblivious to Spinoza''s objection? |
| 45053 | Is it a kind act to expose our children to the pain of a rude awakening by instilling hopes that are destined to be ultimately shattered? |
| 45053 | Is it a wise act to allow their morality to be based upon foundations that are doomed to destruction? |
| 45053 | Is it not because religion has too often submitted to be"a''kept''priest to bless or ban as the passion or self- interest of its employer dictated?" |
| 45053 | Is it not because they are beginning to appreciate the perplexities of faith, and to learn that agnostics as a body can be, and are, good men? |
| 45053 | Is it not because they find that many are beginning to doubt its truth? |
| 45053 | Is it not far more likely that, with the spread of education, they will finally reject theology? |
| 45053 | Is it not on a peasantry wallowing in ignorance and steeped in superstition? |
| 45053 | Is it not purely accidental, purely the outcome of natural agencies, of effects produced by position, distance, etc.? |
| 45053 | Is it not the duty of the pastor to educate his flock? |
| 45053 | Is it not the orthodox Church and her supporters? |
| 45053 | Is it not time the truth should be told? |
| 45053 | Is it not time, then, for all thoughtful men and women to be up and doing? |

| 45053 | Is it possible for the bulk of humanity, I ask, to possess the requisite spiritual discernment? |
| 45053 | Is it the law of a kind Creator that no animal shall rise to excellence except by being fatal to the life of others? |
| 45053 | Is it too much to say that these"experiences"differ only in degree from those of the dog who howls as certain notes affect him? |
| 45053 | Is it? |

| 45053 | Is not a man''s religion determined by the geographical accident of his birth? |
| 45053 | Is not the whole point of the sign lost, too, if it be no longer supernatural-- if it becomes a sort of juggling feat? |
| 45053 | Is not this tantamount to giving up belief in the Virgin- birth? |
| 45053 | Is such a contention warranted by acknowledged facts? |
| 45053 | Is that why we have paid them the compliment of adopting their dates for the birth and death of their Saviours? |
| 45053 | Is the miraculous feeding of the multitudes rendered more credible if we call it a natural instead of a supernatural occurrence? |
| 45053 | Is the struggle for existence, with all its attendant horrors, to be perpetuated? |
| 45053 | Is the æsthetic mind always perfectly balanced? |
| 45053 | Is there anything, then, that can in any way take the place of the ethical assistance[ 329] afforded by belief in God and an after- life? |
| 45053 | Is there consistent evidence of design? |
| 45053 | Is there, haply, no middle course that we may steer? |
| 45053 | Is there, then, no likelihood of Jesus and His disciples being familiar with the ideas of sun- worshippers? |
| 45053 | Is this no reflection upon Christianity''s power for good? |
| 45053 | Is this one of the reasons why the believer is able to continue a believer in spite of all disproof? |
| 45053 | Is this what he was taught, or what his children are now being taught? |
| 45053 | It may be said that such optimism is absurd, but is it really so? |
| 45053 | It would be easier, but would that be the life which Christ came down from heaven to show us and place within our reach?" |
| 45053 | J. Lawson- Forster, that"the Russian Church has become the tool of murderers"? |
| 45053 | May not the very subtlety of their intellects aid the work of their own self- deception? |
| 45053 | May we not reasonably expect, therefore, that morality will advance side by side with Rationalism? |
| 45053 | Morality.--Have we not seen[ 367] that morality can be taught apart from belief, and, indeed, that it is better so taught? |
| 45053 | Mr. W. M. Salter''s essay,"Why Live a Moral Life?" |
| 45053 | Now the nature of the malady has been diagnosed, and now the proper remedies have been discovered, will he not set about the cure? |
| 45053 | Now, do we allow our children to choose for themselves when we know they will choose wrongly? |
| 45053 | Now, what are these omissions in St. Mark? |
| 45053 | On the other hand, the Bishop of London believes this miracle to have occurred"because of the very humble, unimaginative[? |
| 45053 | On what do the reactionaries chiefly rely for the retention of their hold upon the bulk of the people? |
| 45053 | P. 160, lines 3- 4.--Why do we hear so little of this great discovery from the pulpit? |
| 45053 | P. 367, lines 21- 2.--Did not slavery flourish side by side with the Christian Church? |
| 45053 | P. N. Waggett to be wrong, what then? |
| 45053 | PREFACE TO FIRST EDITION What does a man seek when he examines his religious creed? |
| 45053 | Perhaps this pious opinion may have had something to do with the slow progress of palæontology? |
| 45053 | Perhaps, after all, the secret lay in the well- known reply to the question,"Is life worth living?" |
| 45053 | Prebendary W. A. Whitworth,[ 258]"was the original gospel of power which overran the world with such astonishing success?" |
| 45053 | Preliminary Remarks The View of Science Why Have Miracles Ceased? |
| 45053 | Regarding the particular explanation under consideration, one may be permitted to ask, How is it the water has lost its medicinal qualities? |
| 45053 | Religious Experience Mysticism and Conversion The Psychology of Prayer The Religious(?) |
| 45053 | Shall we then, after all, in these days, cause so very much distress by our confessions of unbelief? |
| 45053 | Should it not be a divine intuition of the right both in our religious beliefs and in our conduct? |
| 45053 | Should the Truth be Told? |
| 45053 | Should the Truth be Told? |
| 45053 | Sir Hiram Maxim wrote lately to the Literary Guide concerning his letter in the"Do We Believe?" |
| 45053 | So the fair show, Veiled one vast, savage, grim conspiracy Of mutual murder, from the worm to man, Who himself kills his fellow"? |
| 45053 | Suppose, however, that the consensus of opinion had been otherwise, what conclusion could we draw? |
| 45053 | Surely we are not to take seriously and literally the words of our great philosopher- poet when he says:"Let no such man be trusted"? |
| 45053 | Surely we may dismiss such a preposterous theory? |
| 45053 | Surely we must admit the inherent cruelty of the process? |
| 45053 | Surely, then, they could and should have been enlightened for their mission work up to the level, say, of some of our twentieth- century theologians? |
| 45053 | THE RELIGIOUS(?) |
| 45053 | Taking him seriously, can he also explain how it is that God permits devils to perform such pranks? |
| 45053 | Taking it to be so, what, after all, does it amount to? |
| 45053 | The Mohammedan sees a heaven peopled with houris; do we on that account accept the Koran as our guide? |
| 45053 | The Rationalist asks: What grounds have we for assuming that the existence of religious belief points to the existence of a religious instinct? |
| 45053 | The Virgin Birth.--According to Chinese legends, the sages Fohi(? |
| 45053 | The lecture is incorporated with others in a book entitled Is Christianity True? |
| 45053 | The plain question, however, is-- Had He, or had He not, the attribute of Omniscience? |
| 45053 | The question arises,"How, then, do the majority of our spiritual guides regard the accounts of miracles in the Bible?" |
| 45053 | The question arises: Why has Christianity stood in the way of woman''s cause? |
| 45053 | The writer of the letter, a lady, says:"Is n''t Mr. X( the rector of a certain country parish) a gauche man? |
| 45053 | The"Do We Believe?" |
| 45053 | Then is the Ascension a fact or is it not? |
| 45053 | They are beginning to speak out-- why should not you? |
| 45053 | This is certainly a fact in history; but can we safely build upon it the metaphysical theories of the Christian Faith? |
| 45053 | This reconstructed Christian(?) |
| 45053 | Though it may be a long time before our efforts are rewarded, is that any reason for not making a commencement in the right direction? |
| 45053 | Thus in the question now before us,"Is the First Cause a beneficent intelligence?" |
| 45053 | Time after time a terrible suspicion must have crossed his mind-- what if he were committing a heinous crime in persecuting the Christians? |
| 45053 | To give an example from history, did not slavery flourish side by side with the Christian Church? |
| 45053 | To what extent will not bias influence the brain to use its powers perversely? |
| 45053 | To what other historical personage but Christ can it apply? |
| 45053 | To what party do the Freethinkers belong? |
| 45053 | To whom did they appear? |
| 45053 | Unbelief? |
| 45053 | WHY HAVE MIRACLES CEASED? |
| 45053 | Was He God or was He man? |
| 45053 | Was it not mainly because he believed that it had a power to wipe away his own heinous crimes? |
| 45053 | Was it, for example, impossible for God to have decreed that sentient life should feed only on non- sentient life? |
| 45053 | Was it? |
| 45053 | We know that mistakes do occur through trusting to intuition, especially in the matter of beliefs; how, then, can we assume that it is infallible? |
| 45053 | Were not His hearers who misunderstood Him His own selected expositors? |
| 45053 | What about those inherited animal instincts? |
| 45053 | What also became of them afterwards?" |
| 45053 | What are the Christian evolutionist''s replies to these terrible attacks upon our Heavenly Father?" |
| 45053 | What are the actual instruments employed for maintaining their power? |
| 45053 | What are the causes of criminality? |
| 45053 | What belief did this immature man have to guide him? |
| 45053 | What can be the motive of the Omnipotent Revealer in allowing Himself to be misunderstood? |
| 45053 | What do these inquiries portend? |
| 45053 | What do we know of His life? |
| 45053 | What do we mean by''descended into Hell''? |
| 45053 | What does Science reply? |
| 45053 | What does it matter whether the gods had a vegetable or a solar origin, or arose, as Max Müller thought, from"a disease of language"? |
| 45053 | What grounds have we for assuming that Christianity is exempt from it? |
| 45053 | What has taught her this duty if it be not the growing spirit of nationalism? |
| 45053 | What has the Rationalist to say to this state of things? |
| 45053 | What have the apologists to say to this? |
| 45053 | What if, after all, the Crucified One were the real Saviour of mankind? |
| 45053 | What is the Rationalistic explanation of that essence of the"religious instinct,"belief in an after life? |
| 45053 | What is the cause? |
| 45053 | What is the purpose and drift of the various forms of existence around him? |
| 45053 | What is the use of a revelation which can be misunderstood in this way? |
| 45053 | What is this but a naïve admission that the proofs of the Deity''s benevolence are sadly wanting? |
| 45053 | What is to be done, then? |
| 45053 | What other solution can it have? |
| 45053 | What power is it that comes from the sun to give light and heat to all created things? |
| 45053 | What remedy does he propose to apply? |
| 45053 | What steps do the Churches propose to take concerning these disclosures? |
| 45053 | What was the result? |
| 45053 | What were the"Providential"methods of conversion? |
| 45053 | What will happen, for instance, when the knowledge of this falsehood becomes common property? |
| 45053 | What"ideas of God''s action in nature"are missionaries even now putting into the heads of their converts? |
| 45053 | What, then, is to become of the many? |
| 45053 | What, then, may I ask, had become of the"gifts at Pentecost"? |
| 45053 | When will they receive a"straight"answer? |
| 45053 | Whence did these instincts themselves originate? |
| 45053 | Where would the Theist fix the"commencement"? |
| 45053 | Which is in the right? |
| 45053 | Which of the conflicting explanations are we to take as correct? |
| 45053 | Which would you or I rather be-- lovely and unhappy, or ugly and happy? |
| 45053 | Whither is he going? |
| 45053 | Who are responsible for shameless acts of persecution, and, indeed, very largely for all the bloodshed, strife, and anarchy? |
| 45053 | Who could call modern theology simple? |
| 45053 | Who designed that?" |
| 45053 | Who more logical, apparently, than John Henry Newman, the coadjutor of Whately in his popular work on logic? |
| 45053 | Who were silent when they were not active opponents? |
| 45053 | Why Lead a Moral Life? |
| 45053 | Why Lead a Moral Life? |
| 45053 | Why are they neglected? |
| 45053 | Why be in such a hurry to''change the errors of the Church of Rome for those of the Church of the Future''?" |
| 45053 | Why did the Emperor Constantine embrace Christianity? |
| 45053 | Why do we allow our friends to think that we do so believe? |
| 45053 | Why do we pretend we do when we sit in church and listen to the account of the Ascension, and perhaps to a sermon on it? |
| 45053 | Why even now is it only put forward by a certain school of apologists in costly books that few will ever set their eyes upon? |
| 45053 | Why is Ascension Day one of our Holy Days? |
| 45053 | Why is it so ordained that bad should be the raw material of good? |
| 45053 | Why is this? |
| 45053 | Why is this? |
| 45053 | Why oddly? |
| 45053 | Why should He alone be a machine that can not go wrong? |
| 45053 | Why should I not follow nature just so far as I can get out of my nerves a maximum of pleasure at the expense of a minimum of pain? |
| 45053 | Why should it be better for men to be capable of-- or, rather, may we not say prone to-- sin? |
| 45053 | Why should not the Buddhist claim the same authority for the dogmas of his faith? |
| 45053 | Why should the man without a note of music in his composition have this much less chance of eternal salvation?" |
| 45053 | Why should their Maker grant them"glorious possibilities"which He has denied to Himself? |
| 45053 | Why should they? |
| 45053 | Why, in the name of all that is reasonable, should spiritual experiences be the prerogative of exceptional temperaments only? |
| 45053 | Why, of all the most undesirable states of mind, should morbidity assist the human being to have faith in God? |
| 45053 | Why, oh why, have we not the real picture of our Saviour, bringing our God nearer to us, and enabling us to focus our thoughts on Him? |
| 45053 | Why, then, do we hear so little of this great discovery from the pulpit? |
| 45053 | Why, then, should you hesitate to speak out? |
| 45053 | Why, then, whether we are Theists or Agnostics, should we not study and apply those laws for our moral improvement? |
| 45053 | Why? |
| 45053 | Why? |
| 45053 | Why? |
| 45053 | Why? |
| 45053 | Why? |
| 45053 | Will his children, when they grow up and begin to think for themselves, remain Christians? |
| 45053 | Will it not thereby assume its true form, whatever that may eventually prove to be, and is not that a consummation to be desired? |
| 45053 | Will it suffice? |
| 45053 | Will not the acceptance of this doctrine have a paralysing effect upon us? |
| 45053 | Will this argument bear analysis? |
| 45053 | With more modesty and( may I add?) |
| 45053 | [ 121] Are we, then, to regard this working of primitive thought as the working of the Holy Spirit? |
| 45053 | [ 131] Can we call this Progressive Revelation? |
| 45053 | [ 132] Will this sort of reasoning satisfy the average man? |
| 45053 | [ 133] How comes it that it is discovered so many years after the fulfilment of these unconscious prophecies of the pagans? |
| 45053 | [ 179] Can anyone imagine his Maker arranging all this on purpose? |
| 45053 | [ 210] Afterwards he puts the question,"Is the universe His body or His work?" |
| 45053 | [ 212] It apparently is so to certain subtle and biassed intellects; but the question is, Is it so, will it ever be so, to the average mortal? |
| 45053 | [ 238] Are our emotions reliable guides, or are they not? |
| 45053 | [ 239] Do you know a hymn tune by Lord Crofton, set to the words,"Bless''d are the pure in heart"? |
| 45053 | [ 276] Dr. Flint devotes the seventh of his Lectures on Anti- Theistic theories to the discussion of the question,"Are there tribes of Atheists?" |
| 45053 | [ 281] See Anti- Theistic Theories, Lecture vii.,"Are there Tribes of Atheists?" |
| 45053 | [ 299] Speaking of Chinese nature- worship, Dr. Smith says:"No prayer is uttered.... What is it that at such times the people worship? |
| 45053 | [ 300] As to there being no such thing as an atheistic people, are we to take no account of the cultured classes? |
| 45053 | [ 304] Are there not many English people strangely like the Chinese in an umbrella- patronage of Christianity? |
| 45053 | [ 308] Can this be said of our Bible? |
| 45053 | [ 312] How many Toyamas and Fukuzawas are there not in modern Christendom? |
| 45053 | [ 314] Is not this a perfectly natural explanation of the craving for immortality? |
| 45053 | [ 319] One phase of this failure was well shown by"Oxoniensis,"in his letters which started and ended the"Do We Believe?" |
| 45053 | [ 349] Presuming that we have come to the conclusion that Christianity is not true, are we to say so, or are we to be silent? |
| 45053 | [ 363]( h) IS A NEW RELIGION[ 364] REQUIRED? |
| 45053 | [ 37] Could any two views be more diametrically opposite? |
| 45053 | [ 388] How is it, then, that Religionist and Rationalist arrive at such contrary conclusions? |
| 45053 | [ 49] See p. 31 of What is Christianity? |
| 45053 | [ 6] Are there not indications, moreover, everywhere in the literature of the day? |
| 45053 | [ Had we not every reason thus to imagine on the authority of Holy Scripture?] |
| 45053 | [ Why not? |
| 45053 | [ Yet how much hangs upon the trustworthiness of this same Jewish tradition, and how much else may not the Church have wrongfully accepted?] |
| 45053 | by''Sitteth on the right hand of God''?... |
| 45053 | who are church and chapel- goers would be reduced to-- what shall we say? |
| 38804 | Saying, where is he that is born king of the Jews? 38804 When Jesus saw him he and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him:''Wilt thou be made whole??'' |
| 38804 | When Jesus saw him he and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him:''Wilt thou be made whole??'' 38804 A cardinal looking at the picture said to the artist:Whoever saw angels with sandals?" |
| 38804 | After all, why should we worship our ignorance, why should we kneel to the Unknown, why should we prostrate ourselves before a guess? |
| 38804 | Again I ask: By whose permission did they enter into the man? |
| 38804 | Again I ask: Was it necessary for the devils to get the permission of Christ before they could enter swine? |
| 38804 | Among savages do we not find that their vices and cruelties are the fruits of their superstitions? |
| 38804 | And do n''t you know that they would allow thousands and millions to die for want of breath, if they could not pay for air? |
| 38804 | And he answered:"Who is my mother, and who are my brethren?" |
| 38804 | And let me ask, to- night: Is the world forever to remain as it was when Lear made his prayer? |
| 38804 | And then I asked myself: What is force? |
| 38804 | And what do you do with him? |
| 38804 | And what is the result? |
| 38804 | And when I think of what has been suffered-- of the centuries of agony and tears, I ask: Is it possible for man to forgive God? |
| 38804 | And why do I say this? |
| 38804 | And why? |
| 38804 | Angelo answered with another question:"Whoever saw an angel barefooted?" |
| 38804 | Another question: Did the Pharisees believe in the existence of devils, or had they the personification idea? |
| 38804 | Are Christians more temperate, nearer virtuous, nearer honest than savages? |
| 38804 | Are not the facts in the mental world just as stubborn-- just as necessarily produced-- as the facts in the material world? |
| 38804 | Are people devoured by personifications or myths? |
| 38804 | Are the failures under obligation to their creator? |
| 38804 | Are the heavens a real place? |
| 38804 | Are the rich always to be divided from the poor,--not only in fact, but in feeling? |
| 38804 | Are there always to be millions whose lips are white with famine? |
| 38804 | Are these devils immortal or do they multiply and die? |
| 38804 | Are these personifications entities? |
| 38804 | Are they a personification? |
| 38804 | Art thou come hither to torment us before the time?" |
| 38804 | Art thou come to destroy us? |
| 38804 | But how is it with us? |
| 38804 | But let me ask the clergy a few questions: How did your Devil, who was at one time an angel of light, come to sin? |
| 38804 | But they say,"If you give up these superstitions, what have you left?" |
| 38804 | But where is this heaven, and where is this hell? |
| 38804 | Can a personification of evil crawl on its belly? |
| 38804 | Can a personification of evil eat dust? |
| 38804 | Can any farmer, mechanic, or scientist find in the New Testament one useful fact? |
| 38804 | Can anything be sacred to us that we do not know to be true? |
| 38804 | Can both accounts be true? |
| 38804 | Can evidence of this be found in the history of mankind? |
| 38804 | Can he eat it? |
| 38804 | Can infinite wisdom and power make any excuse for the creation of failures? |
| 38804 | Can it be destroyed-- annihilated? |
| 38804 | Can it be our duty to love anybody? |
| 38804 | Can personifications have desires? |
| 38804 | Can the dead be raised? |
| 38804 | Can the world be civilized to that degree that consequences will be taken into consideration by all? |
| 38804 | Can we add to our knowledge by ceremony? |
| 38804 | Can we affect the nature and qualities of substance by prayer? |
| 38804 | Can we believe the accounts of the battles? |
| 38804 | Can we change winds by sacrifice? |
| 38804 | Can we conceive of a devil base enough to prefer his enemies to his friends? |
| 38804 | Can we cure disease by supplication? |
| 38804 | Can we hasten or delay the tides by worship? |
| 38804 | Can we infer the goodness of God from the facts we know? |
| 38804 | Can we love the unknown, the inconceivable? |
| 38804 | Can we prevent this Missouri of ignorance and vice from emptying into the Mississippi of civilization? |
| 38804 | Can we receive virtue or honor as alms? |
| 38804 | Can we rely on the historical parts of the Bible? |
| 38804 | Can we say that he cared for the children of men? |
| 38804 | Can we say that his mercy endureth forever? |
| 38804 | Can we say that in the heart of this God there blossomed the flower of pity? |
| 38804 | Can we think of a being without form, without body, without parts, without passions? |
| 38804 | Christ asked the father:"How long is it ago since this came unto him?" |
| 38804 | Cosmas said the earth was flat; if it was round how could men on the other side at the day of judgment see the coming of the Lord? |
| 38804 | Could he have avoided being good? |
| 38804 | Could he know that the visitor was an angel? |
| 38804 | Could it have done this had it only been a personification of evil? |
| 38804 | Could personifications of evil enter a herd of swine, or could personifications of evil make a bargain with Christ? |
| 38804 | Could such a promise be regarded as evidence? |
| 38804 | Could these countries have been worse without religion? |
| 38804 | Could they have been worse had they had any other religion than Christianity? |
| 38804 | Could this God have avoided being God? |
| 38804 | Did Christ believe in the existence of the Devil? |
| 38804 | Did Christ or any of his apostles add to the sum of useful knowledge? |
| 38804 | Did Christ wish to be convicted? |
| 38804 | Did a personification of evil prevent the dumb man from talking? |
| 38804 | Did anybody offer him the kingdoms of the world? |
| 38804 | Did he allow his enemies to torture and burn his friends? |
| 38804 | Did he allow tyrants to shed the blood of patriots? |
| 38804 | Did he desire to be betrayed? |
| 38804 | Did he mean that he cured diseases? |
| 38804 | Did infinite goodness create the beasts of prey with the intention that they should devour the weak and helpless? |
| 38804 | Did infinite goodness create the countless worthless living things that breed within and feed upon the flesh of higher forms? |
| 38804 | Did infinite goodness fashion the wings of the eagles so that their fleeing prey could be overtaken? |
| 38804 | Did infinite wisdom intentionally produce the microscopic beasts that feed upon the optic nerve? |
| 38804 | Did it accomplish this result through the Inquisition-- by the use of the thumb- screw, the rack and the fagot? |
| 38804 | Did it do this by torturing heretics-- by extinguishing their eyes-- by flaying them alive? |
| 38804 | Did it in some way paralyze his organs of speech? |
| 38804 | Did the angel put medicine in the water-- just enough to cure one? |
| 38804 | Did the earth exist before the sun? |
| 38804 | Did the wild beasts live and did the angels minister unto Christ? |
| 38804 | Did the writer of the account try to convey to the reader the thought that Christ was tempted by the Devil? |
| 38804 | Did they add to the intellectual wealth of the world? |
| 38804 | Did they discover or show us how to produce anything for food? |
| 38804 | Did they do that without Christ''s consent, and is it a fact that Christ protects swine and neglects human beings? |
| 38804 | Did they explain any of the phenomena of nature? |
| 38804 | Did they find the medicinal virtue that dwells in any weed or flower? |
| 38804 | Did they give us even a hint as to any useful thing? |
| 38804 | Did they increase the sum of knowledge? |
| 38804 | Did they produce anything to satisfy the hunger of man? |
| 38804 | Did they really exist? |
| 38804 | Did they say anything in favor of investigation-- of study-- of thought? |
| 38804 | Did they say one word in favor of any science, of any art? |
| 38804 | Did they show us how to improve our condition in this world? |
| 38804 | Did they slip back into their graves and commit suicide? |
| 38804 | Did they teach the gospel of self- reliance, of industry-- of honest effort? |
| 38804 | Did they teach us the mysteries of the metals and how to purify the ores in furnace flames? |
| 38804 | Did they tell us anything about chemistry-- how to combine and separate substances-- how to subtract the hurtful-- how to produce the useful? |
| 38804 | Did this God allow the cruel and vile to destroy the brave and virtuous? |
| 38804 | Did you ever read that wonderful poem about the sewing woman? |
| 38804 | Do n''t you know that if people could bottle the air, they would? |
| 38804 | Do n''t you know that there would be an American Air- bottling Association? |
| 38804 | Do personifications of evil talk? |
| 38804 | Do the accounts in Matthew and Luke agree? |
| 38804 | Do they go to some other world, are they annihilated, or can they get to heaven by believing on Christ? |
| 38804 | Do they occupy space? |
| 38804 | Do they stay in the stomach or brain, in the heart or liver? |
| 38804 | Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy?" |
| 38804 | Does Nature care for us more than for leaves, or grass, or flies? |
| 38804 | Does Nature know that we exist? |
| 38804 | Does any intelligent man now, whose brain has not been deformed by superstition, believe in the existence of the Devil? |
| 38804 | Does any one imagine that the author of Genesis knew anything about the sun-- its size? |
| 38804 | Does any sensible human being now believe this story? |
| 38804 | Does anyone know that this God exists; that he ever heard or answered any prayer? |
| 38804 | Does he give them furloughs or tickets- of- leave? |
| 38804 | Does he walk or does he fly, or has he invented some machine? |
| 38804 | Does he want his children misled and corrupted so that he can have the pleasure of damning their souls? |
| 38804 | Does one of our senses certify to their existence? |
| 38804 | Does the Christian go there at death, or must he wait for the general resurrection? |
| 38804 | Does the Old Testament teach the existence of a real, living Devil? |
| 38804 | Does the word God correspond with any image in the mind? |
| 38804 | Does the word God stand for what we know or for what we do not know? |
| 38804 | Does this God exist? |
| 38804 | During these centuries what have the orthodox churches accomplished, for the good of man? |

| 38804 | Has an allegory an appetite, or is a poem a cannibal? |
| 38804 | Has any disaster been averted-- any blessing obtained? |
| 38804 | Has he ingenuity enough to frame an excuse for the creation of the Devil? |
| 38804 | Has it made men nobler, more merciful, nearer honest? |
| 38804 | Has it taught men to cultivate the earth? |

| 38804 | to conquer pain, or to lengthen life? |
| 38804 | to weave cloth to cure or prevent disease? |
| 38804 | why hast thou forsaken me?" |
| 17607 | But if I consent to lose the wager? |
| 17607 | Upon what shall we rely? |
| 17607 | --than to say,"Let everything exist?" |
| 17607 | A God filled with implacable fury, is He a God in whom we can find a shadow of charity or goodness? |
| 17607 | A God who enjoys a power which nothing in the world can resist, can He apprehend that His intentions could be thwarted? |
| 17607 | A warrior with the fear of dishonor, does he not hazard his life in battles every day, even at the risk of incurring eternal damnation? |
| 17607 | According to you, He is self- sufficient; in this case, why does He create men? |
| 17607 | After having suffered a great deal in this world, do we not believe ourselves in danger of suffering for eternity in another? |
| 17607 | All children are atheists-- they have no idea of God; are they, then, criminal on account of this ignorance? |
| 17607 | All nations speak of a God; but do they agree upon this God? |
| 17607 | An idea without a prototype, is it anything but a chimera? |
| 17607 | And what can be the subject of this divine will? |
| 17607 | And what kind of Gods are those which we preserve in boxes for fear of the mice? |
| 17607 | And why does Christ not explain clearly how He would live with them always, although He left them visibly to ascend to heaven? |
| 17607 | Are his enjoyments durable? |
| 17607 | Are not all these promises given in a general way, without restriction as to time, place, or persons? |
| 17607 | Are not his pleasures mingled with sufferings? |
| 17607 | Are not princes, of all mortals, the most prompt in taking oaths, and the most prompt in violating them? |
| 17607 | Are not the motives of the incredulous man strong enough to counterbalance his passions? |
| 17607 | Are not theologians strange reasoners? |
| 17607 | Are the ghost stories of childhood fit for mature age? |
| 17607 | Are the precepts of morality as announced by Divinity truly Divine, or superior to those which every rational man could imagine? |
| 17607 | Are the revealed wishes of a God capable of striking us by the sublime reason or the wisdom which they contain? |
| 17607 | Are there amongst men, who are so often enslaved and oppressed, societies as well organized as those of ants, bees, or beavers? |
| 17607 | Are there many people who are contented with their fate? |
| 17607 | Are there more detestable animals in this world than tyrants? |
| 17607 | Are these barriers sufficient? |
| 17607 | Are they not often infamous? |
| 17607 | Are they, like you, tormented by the past, alarmed for the future? |
| 17607 | Are we not assured that a true repentance is sufficient to appease Divinity? |
| 17607 | Are we not free when we deliberate?--but has one the power to know or not to know, to be uncertain or to be assured? |
| 17607 | Are you wiser and more prudent than this God whose rights you wish to avenge? |
| 17607 | Ask him what he means by a spirit? |
| 17607 | Ask if you must love your neighbor if he is impious, heretical, and incredulous, that is to say, if he does not think as they do? |
| 17607 | Ask them if the Lord can show indulgence to those who are in error? |
| 17607 | Ask them if you must tolerate opinions contrary to those which they profess? |
| 17607 | At what age do they begin to be obliged to believe in God? |
| 17607 | At what time does this age begin? |
| 17607 | Besides, He who has the power to pardon crimes, has He not the right to order them committed? |
| 17607 | Besides, a God who, after having been infinitely good, becomes infinitely wicked, can He be regarded as an immutable being? |
| 17607 | Besides, who told you that their opinions displease your God? |
| 17607 | But I rejoin, if you desire anything very much, is it sufficient to conclude that this desire will be fulfilled? |
| 17607 | But I will tell him, do you not see that everything in this world contradicts the good qualities which you attribute to your God? |
| 17607 | But according to you, when my eternal happiness is involved, have I not the right to examine God''s own conduct? |
| 17607 | But are not passions the very essence of man? |
| 17607 | But at what time? |
| 17607 | But by these intentions has not God visibly missed His end? |
| 17607 | But can the belief of all men change an error into truth? |
| 17607 | But do we not see them act, feel, and think in a manner which resembles that of men? |
| 17607 | But do you know what your soul is? |
| 17607 | But do you not claim that your God is full of kindness? |
| 17607 | But do you not pretend that human wisdom is a gift from Heaven? |
| 17607 | But do you not see, that patience can not be suited to a being just, immutable, and omnipotent? |
| 17607 | But does not all religion in reality give us these same ideas of God? |
| 17607 | But does not this sublime morality tend to render virtue despicable? |
| 17607 | But does the fear of a more powerful master than themselves make them attend to the welfare of the peoples that Providence has confided to their care? |
| 17607 | But does the oath place us under stronger obligations to the engagements which we make? |
| 17607 | But how can these pretended miracles be the evidences of truth? |
| 17607 | But how can we place confidence in a malicious Providence which laughs at and sports with mankind? |
| 17607 | But how should they be rather males than females, as they have neither body, form, nor face? |
| 17607 | But if the choicest work of Divinity is imperfect, by what are we to judge of the Divine perfections? |
| 17607 | But if this is true, how came your soul into existence? |
| 17607 | But if we must adore a God without knowing Him, should we not be assured that He exists? |
| 17607 | But in this case, how can men judge of these views-- whether good or evil-- reason about these ideas, or admire this intelligence? |
| 17607 | But is it true that this dogma renders men wiser and more virtuous? |
| 17607 | But this firm assurance, is it not a punishable presumption in the eyes of a severe God? |
| 17607 | But to challenge reason as a judge of faith, is it not acknowledging that reason can not agree with faith? |
| 17607 | But to whom do our God- Christ- worshipers attribute Divinity? |
| 17607 | But was it not much easier to show Himself, and to explain for Himself? |
| 17607 | But weak sovereign of this world, art thou sure one instant of the duration of thy reign? |
| 17607 | But what has their conduct to do with these opinions? |
| 17607 | But what is a miracle? |
| 17607 | But what is it that occasions the continual instability in this world, which you claim as His empire? |
| 17607 | But what is this God who has a will? |
| 17607 | But what people has not its own, and what wise men do not disdain these fables? |
| 17607 | But what will become of me? |
| 17607 | But who guarantees that your priests are not deceived themselves or that they do not wish to deceive you? |
| 17607 | But who has made men? |
| 17607 | But who is God? |
| 17607 | But why are men culpable? |
| 17607 | But why do you deprive the brutes of souls, which, without understanding it, you attribute to men? |
| 17607 | But why do you paint your God in such black colors? |
| 17607 | But why is Heaven angry? |
| 17607 | But would it not be more humane and more charitable to foresee the misery and to prevent the poor from increasing? |
| 17607 | But you will say, why does not truth produce this effect upon many of the sick heads? |
| 17607 | But, according to you, who has made these laws? |
| 17607 | But, among the many religions in the world, which one ought we to choose? |
| 17607 | But, at the bottom, what does this religion explain to us? |
| 17607 | But, in a world created expressly for him and governed by an all- mighty God, is man after all very happy? |
| 17607 | But, it will be said, is not the dogma of the immortality of the soul consoling for beings who often find themselves very unhappy here below? |
| 17607 | By metaphysics, God is made a pure spirit, but has modern theology advanced one step further than the theology of the barbarians? |
| 17607 | By what certain rule can we know that we should put faith in these rather than in the others? |
| 17607 | By what fatality are so many different religions found on the earth? |
| 17607 | By what fatality is it that the science of God has never been explained? |
| 17607 | By what right could this God become angry with beings whose own essence makes it impossible to have any idea of the divine essence? |
| 17607 | By what right do they deride the falseness of the Pagan Gods? |
| 17607 | By what right will a machine despise another machine, whose springs would facilitate its own play? |
| 17607 | By what strange logic do they decide that a thing can not fail to happen because they ardently desire it to happen? |
| 17607 | By whom were these books written? |
| 17607 | C.--WHAT IS THE SOUL? |
| 17607 | CLII.--WHAT IS AN ENLIGHTENED SOVEREIGN? |
| 17607 | CLXIX.--WHAT DOES THAT CHRISTIAN CHARITY AMOUNT TO, SUCH AS THEOLOGIANS TEACH AND PRACTICE? |
| 17607 | CLXXXIV.--CAN WE, OR SHOULD WE, LOVE OR NOT LOVE GOD? |
| 17607 | CXXV.--WHERE, THEN, IS THE PROOF THAT GOD DID EVER SHOW HIMSELF TO MEN OR SPEAK TO THEM? |
| 17607 | CXXXVII.--HOW PRETEND THAT MAN OUGHT TO BELIEVE VERBAL TESTIMONY ON WHAT IS CLAIMED TO BE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR HIM? |
| 17607 | Can God tolerate injustice for an instant? |
| 17607 | Can He not take them back again? |
| 17607 | Can a God have any of these motives? |
| 17607 | Can a being who is sometimes irritated, and sometimes appeased, be constantly the same? |
| 17607 | Can a good God amuse Himself by the embarrassment of His creatures? |
| 17607 | Can a work with which the author himself is so little satisfied, cause us to admire his skill? |
| 17607 | Can an atheist have conscience? |
| 17607 | Can an atheistical king inflict more evil on the world than a Louis XI., a Philip II., a Richelieu, who have all allied religion with crime? |
| 17607 | Can any one form any real notions of such a multitude of deficiencies or absence of ideas? |
| 17607 | Can he who fears not the Gods, fear anything? |
| 17607 | Can men differently organized and modified by diverse circumstances, agree in regard to an imaginary being which exists but in their own brains? |
| 17607 | Can not an immoral man be a good physician, a good architect, a good geometer, a good logician, a good metaphysician? |
| 17607 | Can not the priests of the idols boast of having a similar ability? |
| 17607 | Can the Divine Nature, which we know nothing about, make us understand man''s nature, which we find so difficult to explain? |
| 17607 | Can there be a better world than the best possible of all worlds? |
| 17607 | Can this God, who died to appease the implacable fury of His Father, serve as an example which men ought to follow? |
| 17607 | Can we avoid wishing the absence or the destruction of a master, the idea of whom can but torment the mind? |
| 17607 | Can we realize how God can give to men the inconceivable power of creating causes out of nothing? |
| 17607 | Could not God have at least endowed men with that sort of perfection of which their nature is susceptible? |
| 17607 | Could not God have created only angels of the good kind? |
| 17607 | Did He Himself promulgate His laws? |
| 17607 | Did He speak to men with His own mouth? |
| 17607 | Did not a famous theologian recognize the absurdity of admitting the existence of a God and arresting His course? |
| 17607 | Did the Son of Man appear in a cloud? |
| 17607 | Do not a thousand examples prove that they ought to fear that these unchained lions, after having devoured nations, will in turn devour them? |
| 17607 | Do not his reason and his wisdom depend either upon opinions that he has formed, or upon his mental constitution? |
| 17607 | Do not such morals give us a wonderful idea of nature''s Author? |
| 17607 | Do such constant evils give us an exalted idea of the future fate which His kindness is preparing for us? |
| 17607 | Do they agree in the same way if they speak of God? |
| 17607 | Do they distinguish themselves by a rare modesty or profound humility? |
| 17607 | Do they not tell us every day to do what they preach, and not what they practice? |
| 17607 | Do they reason on this principle when animals are taken into consideration? |
| 17607 | Do they tend to the happiness of the people to whom Divinity has declared them? |
| 17607 | Do we ever see ferocious beasts of the same kind meet upon the plains to devour each other without profit? |
| 17607 | Do we find more probabilities for believing in a spiritual being than for believing in the existence of a stick without two ends? |
| 17607 | Do we not need, in order to be saved, such grace as your God grants to but few? |
| 17607 | Do we not see in many religions that angels and pure spirits revolted against their Master, and even attempted to expel Him from His throne? |
| 17607 | Do we not see many animals show more gentleness, more reflection and reason than the animal which calls itself reasonable par excellence? |
| 17607 | Do we not still see human victims offered to Divinity? |
| 17607 | Do we see a great multitude of humble, generous prelates devoid of ambition, enemies of pomp and grandeur, the friends of poverty? |
| 17607 | Do we see among them religious wars? |
| 17607 | Do we see that this religion prevents them from intemperance, drunkenness, brutality, violence, frauds, and all kinds of excesses? |
| 17607 | Do we see, then, that Divine Providence manifests itself in a sensible manner in the conservation of its admirable works, for which we honor it? |
| 17607 | Do you not admit, then, that these truths are not made for reasonable beings? |
| 17607 | Do you not constantly tell us that the number of the chosen ones is very small, and that of the damned is very large? |
| 17607 | Do you not say that one straight and narrow path leads to the happy regions, and that a broad road leads to the regions of the unhappy? |
| 17607 | Do you not see that this soul is but the assemblage of your organs, from which life results? |
| 17607 | Do you often make use of this reason which you glory in, and which religion commands you not to listen to? |
| 17607 | Do you see these treasures? |
| 17607 | Does He explain to them clearly His intentions and His plan? |
| 17607 | Does He prove to them evidently that He exists? |
| 17607 | Does He teach them what He is, or of what His essence consists? |
| 17607 | Does He tell them where He resides? |
| 17607 | Does he do evil? |
| 17607 | Does it depend upon man to accept or not to accept the opinions of his parents and of his teachers? |
| 17607 | Does it depend upon man whether or not he shall be born of such or such parents? |
| 17607 | Does it not depend upon me to do or not to do it? |
| 17607 | Does not every reform suppose that God did not know how at the start to give His religion the required solidity and perfection? |
| 17607 | Does not every special revelation announce an unjust, partial, and malicious God? |
| 17607 | Does not modest science impress us with the difficulty of unraveling truth? |
| 17607 | Does not tyranny deprive princes of true power, the love of the people, in which is safety? |
| 17607 | Does the arrangement of these decrees change the fate of the miserable? |
| 17607 | Does the earth revolve around the sun? |
| 17607 | Does the revealed conduct of God correspond with the magnificent ideas which are given to us of His wisdom, goodness, justice, of His omnipotence? |
| 17607 | Does the same man always agree with himself in his ideas of God? |
| 17607 | Finally, by what fatality, in all the religions of the world, has the evil principle such a marked advantage over the good principle or over Divinity? |
| 17607 | Finally, does not the king of animals terminate always by becoming food for the worms? |
| 17607 | Finally, how can we place confidence in the ministers of this God, who, in order to guide us more conveniently, command us to close our eyes? |
| 17607 | Finally, these animals, have they, like mortals, a troubled imagination which makes them fear not only death, but even eternal torments? |
| 17607 | From men? |
| 17607 | Has God a temperament like ours? |
| 17607 | Has He not the right to dispense His benefits? |
| 17607 | Has it come to pass? |
| 17607 | Has man the ability to reason correctly or incorrectly? |
| 17607 | Has the Jew any more rational ideas than the Christian of Divine justice? |
| 17607 | Have I not always proved to you that I took more pleasure in giving than in receiving? |
| 17607 | Have brutes souls? |
| 17607 | Have the nurses clearer notions of God than the children, whom they compel to pray to Him? |
| 17607 | Have the priests any right to accuse the unbelievers of pride? |
| 17607 | Have they not reason to fear that these gigantic idols, whom they have raised to the skies, will crush them also some day? |
| 17607 | Have we not shown their falsity? |
| 17607 | He allows you to judge of it; he knows nothing about it himself; for he adds:''What a learned doctor does not know, who can know?''" |
| 17607 | He has, according to you, all that is necessary to render man happy; why, then, does He not do it? |
| 17607 | How can I admire the unknown course of a hidden wisdom whose manner of acting is inexplicable to me? |
| 17607 | How can it move a body? |
| 17607 | How can we avoid doubting the existence of a God, the idea of whom varies in such a remarkable way in the mind of His ministers? |
| 17607 | How can we avoid rejecting totally a God who is full of contradictions? |
| 17607 | How can we be made to admire, in this proceeding, the justice and the goodness of a being, the idea of whom appears so consoling to the unfortunate? |
| 17607 | How can we be satisfied with these answers? |
| 17607 | How can we bind an atheist who can not seriously attest the Deity? |
| 17607 | How can we conceive of such a substance? |
| 17607 | How can we distinguish whether the wonders which we see, proceed from God or the Devil? |
| 17607 | How can we face without fear, a God whom we suppose sufficiently barbarous to wish to damn us forever? |
| 17607 | How can we help our incredulity, when we see principles about which those who teach them to others, never agree? |
| 17607 | How can we love a being of whom all that is told conspires to render him supremely hateful? |
| 17607 | How can we love a being, the idea of whom is but liable to keep us in anxiety and trouble? |
| 17607 | How can we love anything we do not know? |
| 17607 | How can we make those people understand reason who allow themselves to be guided without examining anything? |
| 17607 | How can we take as a model a being whose Divine perfections are precisely contrary to human perfections? |
| 17607 | How can you hope to please Him by such barbarous actions which He can not help disapproving of? |
| 17607 | How comes it then, that human nature, notwithstanding the death of a God, is still depraved? |
| 17607 | How could the human mind, filled with frightful phantoms and guided by men interested in perpetuating its ignorance and its fear, make progress? |
| 17607 | How could these insane impostors tell the future? |
| 17607 | How did God show Himself? |
| 17607 | How is it that Matthew does not mention this ascension? |
| 17607 | How would He punish beings whom He alone could correct, and who, as long as they had not received grace, can not act otherwise than they do? |
| 17607 | I ask how such a filthy statement would be received by the most stupid people of our provinces? |
| 17607 | I exist, you will say; but is this existence always a benefit? |
| 17607 | I would ask, however, what unchained these passions? |
| 17607 | II.--WHAT IS THEOLOGY? |
| 17607 | If God allows men the freedom to damn themselves, is it your business? |
| 17607 | If God by Himself is infinitely happy and is sufficient unto Himself, why does He need the homage of His feeble creatures? |
| 17607 | If God did not save him in the moment when he sins, how could man sin? |
| 17607 | If God had the foresight of the future, did He not foresee the fall of His creatures whom He had destined to happiness? |
| 17607 | If I am incredulous, is it possible for me to banish from my mind the reasons which have unsettled my faith? |
| 17607 | If I make the wager to do or not to do a thing, am I not free? |
| 17607 | If I were born of idolatrous or Mohammedan parents, would it have depended upon me to become a Christian? |
| 17607 | If everything is necessary, if errors, opinions, and ideas of men are fated, how or why can we pretend to reform them? |
| 17607 | If his existence is not useful or necessary to God, why did He not leave him in nothingness? |
| 17607 | If life has its sweets, how much of bitterness is mingled with it? |
| 17607 | If the actions of men are necessary, if men are not free, what right has society to punish the wicked who infest it? |
| 17607 | If the chosen ones are incapable of sinning in heaven, could not God have made sinless men upon the earth? |
| 17607 | If there existed a good God, would we not be forced to admit that He strangely neglects the majority of men in this life? |
| 17607 | If these seas bring me spices, riches, and useless things, do they not destroy a multitude of mortals who are dupes enough to go after them? |
| 17607 | If this is true, why is it that the First one is called Father rather than mother, or the Second called Son rather than daughter? |
| 17607 | If this nature became corrupted, why did not this God repair it? |
| 17607 | If this should be an illusion, is it not a sweet and agreeable one? |
| 17607 | If you do not understand anything about them, how can you positively affirm anything about them? |
| 17607 | If you take away from the sovereigns the fear of an invisible power, what restraint will you oppose to their misconduct? |
| 17607 | In all countries, who make war upon reason, science, truth, and philosophy and render them odious to the sovereigns and to the people? |
| 17607 | In believing thus, are we not adhering to the opinions of others without having one of our own? |
| 17607 | In good faith, is there any mortal who can form the least idea of such a substance? |
| 17607 | In order to be happy, do we need an Infinite or Divine happiness? |
| 17607 | In regard to morals, has not he who reflects and reasons the advantage over him who does not reason? |
| 17607 | In short, do we see the conduct of many Christian priests corresponding with the austere morality of Christ, their God and their model? |
| 17607 | In this case ought they not to blame Him for the evils for which they would find consolation in His arms? |
| 17607 | In what consists the saint of all religions? |
| 17607 | In what consists this pretended depravity? |
| 17607 | In what way did He save it? |
| 17607 | In what way does he essentially differ from the beasts? |
| 17607 | Is a being of this stamp of any use to himself or to others? |
| 17607 | Is a credulous murderer less to be feared than a murderer who does not believe anything? |
| 17607 | Is a miracle capable of destroying a demonstrated truth? |
| 17607 | Is a religious tyrant any less a tyrant than an irreligious one? |
| 17607 | Is any state subject to more frequent and cruel revolutions than that of this unknown monarch? |
| 17607 | Is he blind enough not to recognize the interests which should restrain him? |
| 17607 | Is he the result of the fortuitous meeting of atoms? |
| 17607 | Is it because he has passions? |
| 17607 | Is it less extravagant to have uncertainties about the non- existence of an evidently impossible being? |
| 17607 | Is it more absurd to doubt of one''s own existence, than to hesitate upon the impossibility of a being whose qualities destroy each other? |
| 17607 | Is it not a benefit for man to believe that he can live again and enjoy, sometime, the happiness which is refused to him on earth? |
| 17607 | Is it not because they are but the work of human hands, mute and insensible images? |
| 17607 | Is it not calumniating a just God, to say that He punishes men for their faults, even in the present life? |
| 17607 | Is it not confounding all our ideas of justice and of injustice, to tell us that what is equitable in God is iniquitous in His creatures? |
| 17607 | Is it not evident that the desire to domineer over men is the essence of their profession? |
| 17607 | Is it not strange that, in order to justify Divinity, they made of Him the most unjust of beings? |
| 17607 | Is it not very strange that we can not be the friend of your God but by declaring ourselves the enemy of reason and common sense? |
| 17607 | Is it not very unjust to chastise beings who could not act otherwise than they did? |
| 17607 | Is it possible firmly to believe what we can not conceive? |
| 17607 | Is it probable that a God needs the support of men? |
| 17607 | Is it the deist''s God? |
| 17607 | Is it true, then, that religion is a restraint for the people? |
| 17607 | Is it, then, a pure loss that your God died? |
| 17607 | Is it, then, astonishing that the priests have often made the kings feel the superiority of the Celestial Monarch? |
| 17607 | Is it, then, explaining things to attribute them to unknown agencies, to invisible powers, to immaterial causes? |
| 17607 | Is it, then, possible to doubt evidence? |
| 17607 | Is not God the master of His favors? |
| 17607 | Is not man supposed to be in a continual dependence upon God? |
| 17607 | Is not mankind the continual victim of physical and moral evils? |
| 17607 | Is not one bitter trouble sufficient to blight all of a sudden the most peaceful and happy life? |
| 17607 | Is not our age a striking proof of it? |
| 17607 | Is not such an idea as impossible as an effect without a cause? |
| 17607 | Is not the God- bread the fetish of many Christian nations, as little rational in this point as that of the most barbarous nations? |
| 17607 | Is not the idea of total annihilation infinitely preferable to the idea of an eternal existence accompanied with suffering and gnashing of teeth? |
| 17607 | Is not the theologians''manner of reasoning very singular? |
| 17607 | Is not the very thought of death sufficient to mar his greatest enjoyment? |
| 17607 | Is not the visible world always preferred to the invisible world? |
| 17607 | Is one free, when one could not have existed or can not live without God, and when one ceases to exist at the pleasure of His supreme will? |
| 17607 | Is reason anything else but the knowledge of the useful and the true? |
| 17607 | Is the pleasure which man constantly desires but a snare that God has maliciously laid in his path to entrap him? |

| 17607 | Is there any advantage in exercising tyranny? |
| 17607 | Is there any prophecy which is more false? |
| 17607 | Is there anything more audacious and more extravagant than to reason about an object which it is impossible to conceive of? |
| 17607 | Is this a language worthy of a God? |

| 17607 | Or, at least, could He not have dispensed with creating beings whom He might be compelled to punish and to render unhappy by a subsequent decree? |

| 17607 | This human machine, which is shown to us as the masterpiece of the Creator''s industry, has it not a thousand ways of deranging itself? |

| 17607 | You boast of your intellectual faculties, but these faculties which render you so proud, do they make you any happier than other creatures? |
| 17607 | Your wills and your desires, are they not necessarily excited by objects or by qualities which do not depend upon you at all? |
| 17607 | are all these mysteries any more shocking to reason than a God who punishes and rewards men''s actions? |
| 17607 | but did not fanaticism begin, and has not intrigue visibly sustained this edifice? |
| 17607 | but is it not the height of absurdity? |
| 17607 | do you not perceive this frightful character of the God to whom you offer your incense? |

| 4928 | Ah, Tristram''far away from me, Art thou from restless anguish free? 4928 Ah, lady,"said Geraint,"what hath befallen thee?" |
| 4928 | Am I on earth,he exclaimed,"or am I in Paradise? |
| 4928 | Am I, then,said Sacripant,"of so little esteem with you that you doubt my power to defend you? |
| 4928 | And art thou certain that if that knight knew all this, he would come to thy rescue? |
| 4928 | And how can I do that? |
| 4928 | And is it thus they have done with a maiden such as she, and moreover my sister, bestowing her without my consent? 4928 And what dost thou here?" |

| 4928 | And what may that be? |

| 4928 | And who was it that slew them? |
| 4928 | And you, wherefore come you? |
| 4928 | But,she added,"thou hast not death''s hue on thee; why then ridest thou here on the way to Hel?" |

| 4928 | Now,quoth Owain,"would it not be well to go and endeavor to discover that place?" |
| 4928 | Now,said Arthur,"where is the maiden for whom I heard thou didst give challenge?" |
| 4928 | O Bujaforte,said he,"I loved him indeed; but what does his son do here fighting against his friends?" |
| 4928 | O Pyramus,she cried,"what has done this? |

| 4928 | Sir, what penance shall I do? |
| 4928 | Sir,said Geraint,"what is thy counsel to me concerning this knight, on account of the insult which the maiden of Guenever received from the dwarf?" |
| 4928 | Sir,said Sir Bedivere,"what man is there buried that ye pray so near unto?" |
| 4928 | Sir,said Sir Bohort,"but how know ye that I shall sit there?" |
| 4928 | Sir,said Sir Galahad,"can you tell me the marvel of the shield?" |

| 4928 | Sir,said the king,"is it your will to alight and partake of our cheer?" |
| 4928 | Sirs,said Sir Galahad,"what adventure brought you hither?" |
| 4928 | Suppose they will not trust themselves with me? |
| 4928 | Tell me, I pray you,he said,"what benefit will accrue to him who shall get the better in this contest? |
| 4928 | Tell me, good lad,said one of them,"sawest thou a knight pass this way either today or yesterday?" |

| 4928 | That will I not, by Heaven,she said;"yonder man was the first to whom my faith was ever pledged; and shall I prove inconstant to him?" |
| 4928 | Then Bacchus( for it was indeed he), as if shaking off his drowsiness, exclaimed,''What are you doing with me? 4928 Then Perceval told him his name, and said,"Who art thou?" |
| 4928 | There is; wherefore dost thou call? |

| 36772 | Who made the world, and why? |
| 36772 | Will the doctrine of eternal punishment be preached there? |
| 36772 | You say religions are founded on errors, on what are your reasonings founded? 36772 ***** And the irreligious, those who say openly that they have no religion, amongst whom are they to be found? 36772 And I----What do_ I_ mean? 36772 And are not these all of the body? 36772 And are these to be mute in your heavens? 36772 And as to this feast of communion with their divinity, what are the facts? 36772 And can such a thing proceed from a false theology? 36772 And do you think that there are not some natures who revolt from this? 36772 And has not He manifested Himself in His prophets? 36772 And how many are like him? 36772 And if He be bound, is not His free will, His omnipotence limited? 36772 And if a man''s, how much less a woman''s? 36772 And if he fall in love, can you cure him of it by argument? 36772 And if one say that force is God, what then? 36772 And if so, what is that? 36772 And if the love be a disappointment, a tragedy, then what help is there anywhere? 36772 And if they do, if necessity drive them forth, are they ever happy, ever at rest till they can see their way to return? 36772 And if you continue and say to him,How do you know it is true?" |
| 36772 | And if you have not, who shall prove it to you? |
| 36772 | And in the self- sacrifice at the car of Juggernauth? |
| 36772 | And is it very different when we grow up? |
| 36772 | And is there any guide to life that can be followed in sincerity and truth? |
| 36772 | And now are we not finding that sanction we were searching for? |
| 36772 | And so also with heaven and hell, man has but imagined them to suit his needs: and if so, what needs? |
| 36772 | And so when the slaves were sacrificed beneath the oaks, was it gratitude to the slaves that was evoked? |
| 36772 | And that clerk who gave me money in the bank, why has he those other marks? |
| 36772 | And that money- lender seems to have rubbed his forehead with ashes? |
| 36772 | And the Buddhist? |
| 36772 | And the Hindu, how will he answer? |
| 36772 | And the facts? |
| 36772 | And the lives of philosophers, what do they gain from the reason alone? |
| 36772 | And the religions of Greece and Rome, of Egypt, of Chaldea, of many an ancient people, out of what instincts did these people form their creeds? |
| 36772 | And the women, the girls, the children, are their lives for us nothing? |
| 36772 | And then ask them,''Is patriotism a mean and debasing passion?'' |
| 36772 | And this people whose genius made Christianity, whose genius still rules the greater part of it, what are their conceptions of Christ? |
| 36772 | And to them the Emperor, pointing to the stars above him, replied,"It is all very well, gentlemen, but who made all those?" |
| 36772 | And what have you gained? |
| 36772 | And what is it like when you have got it? |
| 36772 | And what was it a few hundred years ago? |
| 36772 | And whence comes this custom of prayer? |
| 36772 | And which is true? |
| 36772 | And which is true? |
| 36772 | And why is it that she appeals not at all to the Teutonic people? |
| 36772 | And why not? |
| 36772 | And why? |
| 36772 | And why? |
| 36772 | And why? |
| 36772 | And yet consider, does truth always lie in the mean? |
| 36772 | Are any of them true? |
| 36772 | Are not a woman''s ideas of conduct the same as a man''s? |
| 36772 | Are not almost all the great heroisms outcomes of religion? |
| 36772 | Are not artistic people notoriously irreligious? |
| 36772 | Are not mercy and fatherly care, forgiveness and love, beautiful things? |
| 36772 | Are not the Venus de Milo, the statue of Athena, and all the famous Greek sculptures those of gods? |
| 36772 | Are our loves, our hopes, our fears but evil? |
| 36772 | Are sceptics more criminal than religious people? |
| 36772 | Are the English Roman Catholics less honest than Protestants in the same class? |
| 36772 | Are the great religions utterly at variance about this First Cause, or can they agree? |
| 36772 | Are the more deeply religious those whom the world at large most deeply respects? |
| 36772 | Are there not also St. Paul and the Apostles, the Early Fathers? |
| 36772 | Are these answers true? |
| 36772 | Are these creeds older than prayer, or maybe is it not that prayer is older than the creeds? |
| 36772 | Are they all true? |
| 36772 | Are they not all religious? |
| 36772 | Are they of a world that we must abjure? |
| 36772 | Are they such as the world admires? |
| 36772 | Are they the less children of the Great Father for that? |
| 36772 | Are they then untrue, useless, valueless guides to conduct? |
| 36772 | Are they, as they claim to be, the cream of mankind, those who have the pure reason? |
| 36772 | Are we to fall to lesser notes of eternal praise, of eternal thanksgiving? |
| 36772 | As to addition, is it maintained anywhere that the teaching and example are inadequate? |
| 36772 | As to the teaching of Christ, of what use is a teaching that is suitable only to an ideal state of things? |
| 36772 | Births and deaths, suicides and murders, are they too not all under Law? |
| 36772 | But argument, reason? |
| 36772 | But consider, has joy been the most beautiful thing in your life, is it joy that sounded the deepest harmonies? |
| 36772 | But did I believe this former life, or has any European ever been convinced by that evidence? |
| 36772 | But did he ever apply this acumen to religion? |
| 36772 | But do the voices of conscience and of God, as stated in the sacred books, agree? |
| 36772 | But do you not know that the greater beauties can only be seen through tears, which are their dew? |
| 36772 | But granted, people may say, that religion is what you say, a cult of the emotions, of what use is it? |
| 36772 | But how about false gods-- the savage praying to a mountain, the Hindu to an image or a stone, representing who knows what? |
| 36772 | But how can that be? |
| 36772 | But how much? |
| 36772 | But how? |
| 36772 | But if he, too, be in heaven and not there at all? |
| 36772 | But if not? |
| 36772 | But if religion has its failures, has it not its successes? |
| 36772 | But if theology will bear the light of reason, why ask us to accept it blindly? |
| 36772 | But if this be so, then where is the need of any knowledge beyond the knowledge of law? |
| 36772 | But if you suppose a God burnt you without telling you why, without giving you a chance, what then? |
| 36772 | But in fact, for ordinary life, is there any difference between the code of a Latin, a Teuton, or a Buddhist? |
| 36772 | But in secret, in their own hearts, before the world, in the action of their own hands, have they ever acknowledged these beliefs?" |
| 36772 | But in these drab Utopias of the reason, what is there? |
| 36772 | But is there any clear conception of the Holy Ghost as a distinct personality? |
| 36772 | But on others? |
| 36772 | But surely the essence of Christianity must be the teaching and example of Christ? |
| 36772 | But tell me, is there a woman who has lost those she loves to whom such prayers would not come home? |
| 36772 | But what can this object be? |
| 36772 | But what is truth? |
| 36772 | But what of that? |
| 36772 | But what they have not got is sympathy, and without this of what use are the rest? |
| 36772 | But what will the Buddhist answer? |
| 36772 | But what would you have? |
| 36772 | But when we turn to Pagan nations, what do we see? |
| 36772 | But wherein lies the spell that religion has cast upon the souls of men? |
| 36772 | But who ever realised either? |
| 36772 | But why is this, if they have no concern one with another? |
| 36772 | But you will object that was amongst Burmese; and I reply, Wherein is there any difference? |
| 36772 | But you? |
| 36772 | But_ do_ we? |
| 36772 | But_ is_ it free? |
| 36772 | Can He be influenced? |
| 36772 | Can anyone imagine Joanna Southcote in India or in the further East? |
| 36772 | Can anyone possibly say that the men responsible for these were shams? |
| 36772 | Can anyone see aught but horror in this Almighty demanding the sacrifice of His Son? |
| 36772 | Can it be explained by arguing from the creed down? |
| 36772 | Can it be possible, he thought, that there is an explanation, that religion can justify itself, that it may still have reason? |
| 36772 | Can it be that all men have a like need and that all religions have a common quality which serves that need? |
| 36772 | Can it be that there is some secret common to all religions, some belief, some doctrine that is the cause of this? |
| 36772 | Can not you imagine the intense oppression, the irritation and revulsion, such a doctrine may occasion? |
| 36772 | Can not you manage otherwise than by causing so much pain to me and all the world? |
| 36772 | Can not you thus understand the manifold nature of God? |
| 36772 | Can this ever be heaven? |
| 36772 | Can we not, too, be as the scientist, denying nothing, but searching only for that which we can know and which will be useful to us? |
| 36772 | Can you imagine this theologian''s prayer? |
| 36772 | Can you in the East find one man? |
| 36772 | Can you trace here any cause and effect? |
| 36772 | Can you understand your own? |
| 36772 | Christ the teacher, Christ the preacher, the restorer of the dead to life, the feeder of the hungry, the newly arisen from the grave, where is He? |
| 36772 | Consider, what do you see when you land anywhere in the East, what strikes you most, what is most prominent, not in the landscape, but in the people? |
| 36772 | Declare that God requires neither ears to hear nor eyes to see, nor legs to walk with, nor a body, and what is left? |
| 36772 | Deduct from your idea of God all human passions, love and forgiveness, and mercy, and revenge, and punishment, and what is left? |
| 36772 | Did any man in health, and strength, and sanity ever yearn to die in order to reach this Heaven they tell us of? |
| 36772 | Did each man act up to this teaching, to this example, would it not be a perfect world? |
| 36772 | Did not Ajax defy the lightning? |
| 36772 | Did not blood- thirstiness and religion go together? |
| 36772 | Did not the German Emperor in one breath tell his army that their model was Christ, and then in the next to show no quarter in China? |
| 36772 | Did not the forest people speak of a god in the great bare rock behind him? |
| 36772 | Did these creeds exist in men''s minds first or did the necessity for prayer exist first? |
| 36772 | Did they throw any light into the darkness of his doubts? |
| 36772 | Did you ever see Englishmen praying in the streets? |
| 36772 | Did, then, the Greeks see that behind all their personification of forces Law ruled? |
| 36772 | Do any of the definitions given at the beginning explain what it really is? |
| 36772 | Do keen thinkers in Europe accept any of this evidence? |
| 36772 | Do the Buddhists accept it? |
| 36772 | Do the preachers tell of her, the picture makers paint her, the people pray to her? |
| 36772 | Do they never enjoy themselves? |
| 36772 | Do they then go without? |
| 36772 | Do we not believe in the West? |
| 36772 | Do we think of them as superior to us? |
| 36772 | Do you ever hear of her there? |
| 36772 | Do you know what I exclaimed?" |
| 36772 | Do you know what I meant?" |
| 36772 | Do you know whence came these emotions that have risen and made your faith? |
| 36772 | Do you remember Napoleon the Great and the idealogues on the voyage to Egypt? |
| 36772 | Do you think I can watch the sun rise, the daily marvel which is beyond words, and hate the world? |
| 36772 | Do you think he was able to accept them as real? |
| 36772 | Do you think his inarticulate cry for help was not involuntary? |
| 36772 | Do you think one who felt so could be argued out of his horror or a Christian out of his devotion? |
| 36772 | Do you think such a system of religion would be bearable to a Burman? |
| 36772 | Do you think that each man holds one wonderful conception of God? |
| 36772 | Do you think that he who thinks Law to be freedom will ever be argued or converted into Theism? |
| 36772 | Do you think that such feelings can be changed? |
| 36772 | Do you think they helped him at all? |
| 36772 | Do you think"Christian Science"would gain any foothold in the East? |
| 36772 | Does an Englishman ever swear by his mother, does he yearn after her as the Latins do from a far country? |
| 36772 | Does the fear of separation keep our young men at home? |
| 36772 | Does their religion cause them to live more worthy lives? |
| 36772 | Even if it be not so, that the early chapters still seem to be hard, is it not better to hear such things from a friend than from an enemy? |
| 36772 | Even if this were true, what would be the use? |
| 36772 | Even in literature, is there anything secular to compare with the sacred books of the world? |
| 36772 | Even of the men that are there, how many go there from other motives than personal desire to hear the service? |
| 36772 | Even your Utopias, from Plato''s to Bellamy''s, who would desire them? |
| 36772 | For consider, Why do you ever change your acts, your attitudes? |
| 36772 | For he says,"If the professional men do n''t know what their own faith is, who does?" |
| 36772 | For what do men imagine God to be? |
| 36772 | For what do we strive all our days but for happiness, for truth, for joy, for the beauty of life? |
| 36772 | For what object does man exist? |
| 36772 | For what reason has the Jewish Sabbath appealed more nearly to the Scotch than the Christian Sunday? |
| 36772 | For why do we refuse to accept the sea serpent? |
| 36772 | Forms of motion? |
| 36772 | From disease? |
| 36772 | Further, I thought if this is true with the Burman, is it not likely to be true of all people? |
| 36772 | Go to any pagoda and see the women there praying to Someone-- Someone, they know not whom-- and ask if Buddhists know not prayer? |
| 36772 | Had they no need of confession? |
| 36772 | Has He any special characteristics? |
| 36772 | Has any God taught any believer a perfect code of life, has any Buddhist searcher discovered the natural Law of life? |
| 36772 | Has any faith such a guide? |
| 36772 | Has any religion a working code of life that is true, that is adapted to us as we are, that is not in conflict with facts and common sense? |
| 36772 | Has it any? |
| 36772 | Has it been all for evil? |
| 36772 | Has it outgrown the instincts that are the root of religion? |
| 36772 | Has, then, a force, or a teaching that is capable of excess, no use? |
| 36772 | Have Christians it? |
| 36772 | Have I found that they give what they declare? |
| 36772 | Have I gained anything to help me in life? |
| 36772 | Have I learnt nothing? |
| 36772 | Have men no eyes, no ears, no understanding? |
| 36772 | Have not great and beautiful things been done in its name? |
| 36772 | Have there ever been witch trials in the East, have there ever been ordeals, or casting lots"for God to decide"? |
| 36772 | Have they a common truth? |
| 36772 | Have they no bodies? |
| 36772 | Have they, then, no idea of pleasure? |
| 36772 | Have we not in the Scripture a full account of how it was made out of chaos? |
| 36772 | Have we not religion, nay religions, in the North? |
| 36772 | Have we reduced truth to measure? |
| 36772 | Have you any reasoning to support it? |
| 36772 | Have you ever seen people in deadly fear, how they will babble for help, crying unto the unknown? |
| 36772 | Have you not seen how, when good news comes to a man, he loves to rush forth and tell it? |
| 36772 | Have you pointed to us what we really would have? |
| 36772 | Have you wondered how that came into the creed? |
| 36772 | He did not mean what is the end of man, but what is the object of man, of life? |
| 36772 | He does not ask"Who am I?" |
| 36772 | He feels fairly well, and the other boys are going skating or boating, why should he not do so? |
| 36772 | He may seem to you so, but are you sure you can judge rightly? |
| 36772 | He who sees knows; but if a man be blind, how can it be explained to him? |
| 36772 | He would cry to God, Why do you hurt me? |
| 36772 | His example? |
| 36772 | How am I to know that this impression of mercy is not an error? |
| 36772 | How can anyone, even God, be judged except in His acts? |
| 36772 | How can it be defended? |
| 36772 | How can miracle be the proof of supernatural knowledge? |
| 36772 | How can you prove that?" |
| 36772 | How could it be that this disproved Jewish fable still held together? |
| 36772 | How do I know? |
| 36772 | How do you account for the world unless God made it? |
| 36772 | How do you explain this from religion? |
| 36772 | How is the heaven held up, the great heavy dome as he imagines it? |
| 36772 | How is this? |
| 36772 | How is this? |
| 36772 | How many millions in Europe, even in England, have no religious usages? |
| 36772 | How much fervency will there be in a request you know will not be granted or attended to? |
| 36772 | How much subjective action will follow that prayer? |
| 36772 | How often are not these written in large words on nursery walls? |
| 36772 | How shall a man so form himself here that if indeed there be a life hereafter he may enter it without fear? |
| 36772 | How was all this possible? |
| 36772 | How will you comfort your heart when it is sore if you have not God? |
| 36772 | How, in fact, am I to know that anything exists at all? |
| 36772 | How, then, am I to judge which are wrong and which are right impressions? |
| 36772 | I have found the Burmese beliefs; who has found the others? |
| 36772 | I have learnt nothing? |
| 36772 | I nearly called the book,"What is the Meaning of Religion?" |
| 36772 | If God knows best what is good for us, why pray to Him? |
| 36772 | If His acts are revengeful, is not He revengeful? |
| 36772 | If crime and ignorance, if mistake and waywardness brought always inevitably their due punishment and correction, where is a ruler needed? |
| 36772 | If grammarians are hide- bound, are we to refuse to talk? |
| 36772 | If he be far away in happiness, why go to his grave? |
| 36772 | If in a shipwreck many are drowned and few, bereft of all but life, are hardly saved, what must they do? |
| 36772 | If it be indeed eternal, as the Buddhists say, what need for more? |
| 36772 | If it be, as the Burmans say, but the empty shell that lies there? |
| 36772 | If it is not founded on evidence that all can accept, on what is it founded? |
| 36772 | If it were, would not all Christian nations believe much the same, have the same ideals, the same outcome of their beliefs? |
| 36772 | If not, to whom? |
| 36772 | If philosophy be pessimism, what then is religion? |
| 36772 | If so, what is it? |
| 36772 | If so, what is it? |
| 36772 | If so, what is it? |
| 36772 | If so, what is this necessity which religion alone can fill, what is this succour that religion alone can give? |
| 36772 | If that is so, why does not everyone believe in ghosts? |
| 36772 | If the Madonna, the type of motherhood, appeals to all the people, men and women, is there not a reason? |
| 36772 | If there is in the heaven they promise us such a fulfilment of glory, such an appeal to our hearts that they can not but answer, what matter the rest? |
| 36772 | If there is such a common secret, why is it so hidden? |
| 36772 | If you have no emotions, no sympathies, how can you get on? |
| 36772 | If you have the instinct of God, then is evidence unnecessary; and if you have not, of what use is the evidence brought forward? |
| 36772 | If you know not of Him, only of Law, have you not lost out of your life some of the greatest thoughts? |
| 36772 | If, then, his soul, if_ he_ be with God, what are you come to see? |
| 36772 | If, therefore, this which is an exaggeration now was then a necessary revivifying truth may there not be others like it? |
| 36772 | In Europe, what difference does a man''s faith make? |
| 36772 | In fact, is not God Himself merely an impression and He does not exist? |
| 36772 | In the battle of life is not this enough? |
| 36772 | In the science of man, who is but part of nature, why should we do so? |
| 36772 | Is He ever cited separately from the others? |
| 36772 | Is it a theory of the universe, is it morality, is it future rewards and punishments? |
| 36772 | Is it any attribute of the heavens of the religions? |
| 36772 | Is it any use to me to tell me that if everyone agreed at once to follow this teaching the world would be perfect? |
| 36772 | Is it beautiful or no? |
| 36772 | Is it beautiful or no? |
| 36772 | Is it because it will not bear scrutiny? |
| 36772 | Is it creeds, dogmas, speculations, or theories of any kind? |
| 36772 | Is it disgust, weariness, pessimism? |
| 36772 | Is it envy that they have reached everlasting happiness? |
| 36772 | Is it gladness to reflect that they are no longer with us? |
| 36772 | Is it indeed always so? |
| 36772 | Is it not a maxim that a fanatic in any religion is simply blind, not only to his own code, but to all morality? |
| 36772 | Is it not as well to know them? |
| 36772 | Is it not courage and a strange triumph that marks his way in life? |
| 36772 | Is it not in prayer? |
| 36772 | Is it not the same answer in each case? |
| 36772 | Is it not the wickedness of man that prevents it? |
| 36772 | Is it otherwise with our children? |
| 36772 | Is it sunshine, happiness, gaiety? |
| 36772 | Is it that there are facets of some great truth behind which we can never know?" |
| 36772 | Is it the Buddhist word- refiner speculating on Karma? |
| 36772 | Is it the Hindu sophist making theories of Brahm? |
| 36772 | Is it the scientific theologian with his word- confusion about homoiousios? |
| 36772 | Is life to them a sorry march to be made with downcast eyes of thought, to be trod with weary steps, to be regarded with contempt? |
| 36772 | Is not a woman''s Christianity the same as a man''s Christianity, if both be Christianity? |
| 36772 | Is not the cause of our country always a good cause? |
| 36772 | Is not the very idea of atonement expressed by Christ''s life? |
| 36772 | Is not this so? |
| 36772 | Is not truth also to be judged by its results? |
| 36772 | Is prayer nothing? |
| 36772 | Is that dependent upon any religious theory? |
| 36772 | Is the Boer religion sham? |
| 36772 | Is the answer difficult? |
| 36772 | Is the explanation difficult? |
| 36772 | Is the inference that the Latin peoples were wickeder than others? |
| 36772 | Is the influence all for good? |
| 36772 | Is the necessity a common necessity? |
| 36772 | Is the wealth that comes of the keen brain, the strong will, a calamity? |
| 36772 | Is there any escape from this? |
| 36772 | Is there any explanation of this? |
| 36772 | Is there any secret truth? |
| 36772 | Is there anywhere any belief of the First Cause that is true, that is the whole truth? |
| 36772 | Is there in them anything to draw our hearts? |
| 36772 | Is there no religious feeling in the North of America? |
| 36772 | Is there such a thing? |
| 36772 | Is this hard to understand? |
| 36772 | Is, then, the Burman impatient of suffering? |
| 36772 | Is, then, the help of confession denied to the multitude? |
| 36772 | It does not occur to them to say,"Why should I want a religion at all? |
| 36772 | It is an instinct of the heart that comes who can tell whence, that means who can tell what? |
| 36772 | It is no longer which is true, the Christian Triune God, the Hindu million of Gods, the Mahommedan one God, the Buddhist Law? |
| 36772 | It is not what code is the true code of life, the Jewish code, the Christian, the Buddhist, but why are these Codes at all? |
| 36772 | It is very simple, is it not? |
| 36772 | It seemed to the man lying on his hillside easy to follow how it all arose; for, indeed, was it not going on about him? |
| 36772 | May be; but whence the motion? |

| 36772 | The first part was false, and if so, must not the sequence be false also? |
| 36772 | The morality of Christ? |
| 36772 | The question is what_ does_ happen? |
| 36772 | The question is, What are the reasons, and are they the same in each case? |
| 36772 | The sacrifice of a man( remember, I say sacrifice, not execution), would be absolutely abhorrent to them, how much more so that of a God? |

| 36772 | They will require no comfort from you in heaven, and how much will you lose? |
| 36772 | This is true, but is it an explanation? |
| 36772 | To God-- if there be a God? |
| 36772 | To ask"Who made the world?" |

| 45414 | hath no man condemned thee? |
| 45414 | or what shall we drink? |
| 45414 | or wherewithal shall we be clothed?... |

| 43550 | 15), when there was no"whosoever"in existence but his father and mother? |

| 43550 | After being interrogated as to their conduct and practical lives, the next question will be,"Where were you born?" |
| 43550 | Again: why is a mother''s loving, watchful care ever exercised for the protection and welfare of her child? |
| 43550 | And as sex also implies offspring, we desire to ask, how many children have they had? |

| 43550 | And what is the moral condition of five- sixths of the human family now, who never had our Bible? |
| 43550 | And what is the moral, or lesson, taught by these things? |
| 43550 | And what is the result? |
| 43550 | And what is the solemn lesson taught by it? |
| 43550 | And what would have been the result if he had not been found? |

| 43550 | At what hour was Christ crucified? |
| 43550 | Ay, who dare believe it, if he would escape the charge of blasphemy? |

| 43550 | Brothers of the religion of Iran, can you tell us what to do and believe in order to be saved? |
| 43550 | But could a person be more damned than to believe in such a religion? |
| 43550 | But how could this"whosoever"know what the mark meant? |
| 43550 | But is it true that the whole human race was in that state at that period? |
| 43550 | But who can not see it was not necessary for him to do either to save his reputation and his life, both of which it appears were at stake? |
| 43550 | But who is to decide when it is properly understood? |
| 43550 | But why not worship other Gods( that is, beings supposed to represent or resemble God)? |
| 43550 | But, in a broader sense, there are two hundred answers to the question, Where are we to find"the only scriptures given by inspiration of God"? |

| 43550 | It may be asked here, Why is it, then, that both religion and morality prosper in most countries where the Bible has been introduced? |
| 43550 | James, can you tell us how many are twice two?" |
| 43550 | Jealous of what? |
| 43550 | Jesus refers to this natural Bible, or revelation, again when he say''s,"Know ye not of yourselves what is right?" |
| 43550 | Let us assume that the numerous cases of death- bed repentance published in religious tracts are all true; and what would it prove? |
| 43550 | Must it not be mortifying to him to have his blunders thus exposed? |
| 43550 | Must we assume there is a trinity of Gods? |
| 43550 | Must we conclude that Jehovah had a carnivorous appetite, which caused him to prefer animals to vegetables for sacrifices? |
| 43550 | Now, the first question which arises here is, Who told the truth in the case,--Jehovah, or"the father of lies"? |
| 43550 | Now, we ask seriously, Do not the foregoing facts and arguments show that there is no moral or religious necessity for a divine revelation to man? |
| 43550 | Now, what is this but a premium offered for treachery and cold- blooded murder? |
| 43550 | Now, where on earth is the tribunal to which we can appeal to find out which of these translations is right? |
| 43550 | Now, who is to settle the question as to which of these translations is the right one? |
| 43550 | Of what tribe was Solomon''s artificer, who came from Tyre? |
| 43550 | Or can one be pleasing to him, and the other offensive? |
| 43550 | Or is he still a bachelor? |
| 43550 | Or shall we presume the gate was left open, and that he entered in that way? |
| 43550 | Shall nation war against nation? |
| 43550 | Shall we aim at a good reputation? |
| 43550 | Shall we love our enemies? |
| 43550 | Shall we resist evil? |
| 43550 | Shall we use strong drink? |
| 43550 | Should a man ever laugh? |
| 43550 | Should marriage be encouraged? |
| 43550 | Should our works be seen? |
| 43550 | Should we always obey kings and rulers? |
| 43550 | Should we ever use wine? |
| 43550 | Should we fear death? |
| 43550 | Should we pay a fool in his own coin? |
| 43550 | Supposing the people prefer a golden calf, as the Jews did under the leadership of Aaron, in the name of reason how can it injure either God or man? |
| 43550 | THE BAPTIST''S ANSWER Brother Baptist, will you give us your opinion, or answer the question,"What shall we do and believe in order to be saved?" |
| 43550 | THE question is frequently asked by Bible adherents, What would be the moral condition of society without the Bible? |
| 43550 | The Holy Zenda Avesta has been circulating for thousands of years; and have you not seen it? |
| 43550 | The admirers and worshipers of Jesus Christ adore him as a being of absolute perfection,--perfect in intelligence, perfect in wisdom? |
| 43550 | The first and most important query to which this proposition or assumption gives rise is, Can it be shown to be true? |
| 43550 | The queries naturally arise here, Where did the raven obtain those articles of food? |
| 43550 | The question was not, Shall Jehovah succeed, and other Gods fail? |
| 43550 | The question, then, naturally arises here, Where is the use of erecting standards of faith, when you believe one thing to- day and another to- morrow? |
| 43550 | The solemn question arises here, then, Who can escape eternal damnation? |
| 43550 | Their God made the first man with three legs, and amputated one of them to make a"helpmeet for him?" |
| 43550 | Then why do millions of people devote years to hard mental labor to acquire it? |
| 43550 | This whole sketch of Mr. Allen''s is very interesting, as it discloses the real causes of infidelity or skepticism in all religion? |
| 43550 | Thus we are making but little progress toward settling the question, Where is"the scripture given by inspiration of God"? |
| 43550 | To know whether a thing was right or wrong, they had only to inquire,"Is it taught, or is it forbidden, by the Zenda Avesta?" |
| 43550 | To whom did Christ appear after his resurrection? |
| 43550 | To whom did God speak at Christ''s baptism? |
| 43550 | To whom was the second denial made? |
| 43550 | To whom was the third denial made? |
| 43550 | WHY RESORT TO RIDICULE? |
| 43550 | Was Christ equal to God? |

| 43550 | Was it any worse than the next two thousand years after it was written? |
| 43550 | Was it daylight when they came to the tomb? |
| 43550 | Was it death to eat the forbidden fruit? |
| 43550 | Was it lawful for the Jews to put Christ to death? |
| 43550 | Was it necessary for an omnipresent God to come down from heaven to find Adam when he hid among the bushes? |
| 43550 | Was there ever a more important, more pleasing, or more beautiful revelation made to the world than this of Paul''s? |
| 43550 | We also beg leave to ask, who took charge of"the house of many mansions"while Jehovah was down among the bushes hunting and hallooing for Adam? |
| 43550 | We have, then, the Hindoo answer to the question,"What must we do and believe in order to be saved?" |
| 43550 | We might also ask, Why are"the Lord''s day"and"Sunday"used as synonymous terms? |
| 43550 | We will illustrate the position of orthodox Christendom: A boy throws up a copper coin, and cries,"Heads, or tails?" |
| 43550 | We will present some examples:-- 154. Who came to worship Christ when he was born? |
| 43550 | Well, Moses, can you tell us, as the result of your five years''close study of mathematics, how many are twice two?" |
| 43550 | Well, Solomon, can you do any thing towards settling the disputed question, how many are twice two?" |
| 43550 | Well, brother Hindoo, will you be so good as to answer this question,"What shall we do and believe in order to be saved?" |
| 43550 | Well, brother disciple of the Greek Church,"what shall we do and believe in order to be saved?" |
| 43550 | Well, brother disciple of the old Egyptian religion, let us hear your answer to the question,"What must we do and believe in order to be saved?" |
| 43550 | Well, brother of the Presbyterian order, we will now listen to your answer to the great question,"What shall we do and believe in order to be saved?" |
| 43550 | Well, brother, what light can you throw upon this subject? |
| 43550 | Well, where and what are they? |

| 7319 | Are such long trials then likely to inspire us with very great confidence in the secret views of the Deity? |
| 7319 | Are the nations, who believe this fiction, remarkable for purity of morals? |
| 7319 | Are the oracles, which the Divinity has revealed by his different messengers, remarkable for clearness? |
| 7319 | Are the precepts of morality, announced by the Deity, really divine, or superior to those which every reasonable man might imagine? |
| 7319 | Are then the bugbears of infancy made for riper age? |
| 7319 | Are there among men, so often enslaved and oppressed, societies as well constituted as those of the ants, bees, or beavers? |
| 7319 | Are there animals in the world more detestable than tyrants? |
| 7319 | Are these bulwarks effectual? |
| 7319 | Are they themselves remarkable for uncommon modesty or profound humility? |
| 7319 | Are they then criminal on account of their ignorance? |
| 7319 | Are they thus agreed when they speak of God? |
| 7319 | Are they, like thee, tormented by the past, alarmed at the future? |
| 7319 | Are we free, when we can not exist and be preserved without God, and when we cease to exist at the pleasure of his supreme will? |
| 7319 | Are we not assured that_ a true repentance_ is enough to appease the Deity? |
| 7319 | Are you more prudent and wise, than this God, whose rights you would avenge? |
| 7319 | Ask a Christian, what is the origin of the world? |
| 7319 | Ask a savage, what works your watch? |
| 7319 | Ask any man, whether he believes in a God? |
| 7319 | Ask him, what he understands by a spirit? |
| 7319 | Ask the divines, what moves the universe? |
| 7319 | Ask them, whether the sovereign can show indulgence to those who are in error? |
| 7319 | Ask them, whether we must love or do good to our neighbour, if he be an impious man, a heretic, or an infidel, that is, if he do not think like them? |
| 7319 | Ask them, whether we must tolerate opinions contrary to those of the religion, they profess? |
| 7319 | At what age must they begin to believe in God? |
| 7319 | Besides, can a God, who, after having been infinitely good, becomes infinitely bad, be regarded as an immutable being? |
| 7319 | Besides, must not he, who has power to pardon crimes, have a right to encourage the commission of crimes? |
| 7319 | Besides, who has informed you, that their opinions displease your God? |
| 7319 | But I ask again, what is a spirit? |
| 7319 | But I would ask, what has let loose these passions? |
| 7319 | But are all these mysteries more contradictory to reason than a God, the avenger and rewarder of the actions of men? |
| 7319 | But at what time should this age commence? |
| 7319 | But do they not see, that patience is incompatible with a just, immutable, and omnipotent being? |
| 7319 | But do you not say, that human wisdom is a gift of heaven? |
| 7319 | But do you not say, that your God is full of goodness? |
| 7319 | But do you not see that every thing in this world contradicts the good qualities, which you ascribe to your God? |
| 7319 | But dost thou know what a soul is? |
| 7319 | But has God passions as we have? |
| 7319 | But how does their conduct affect their opinions? |
| 7319 | But how many are there in the world who have the time, capacity, or disposition, necessary to contemplate Nature and meditate her progress? |
| 7319 | But is it true, that this dogma makes men wiser and more virtuous? |
| 7319 | But is not such sublime morality calculated to render virtue odious? |
| 7319 | But is not this existence continually troubled with fears, and maladies, often cruel and little deserved? |
| 7319 | But is not this firm assurance itself a presumption punishable in the eyes of a severe God? |
| 7319 | But of what service to morals is all this? |
| 7319 | But pray, who or what is that God, who has a will, and what can be the subject of his divine will? |
| 7319 | But was it not more simple for him to appear in person, to explain his nature and will? |
| 7319 | But what is a miracle? |
| 7319 | But what motives can we have to sacrifice our reason to a being, who makes us only useless presents, which he does not intend us to use? |
| 7319 | But when we reject reason as a judge of faith, do we not confess, that reason is incompatible with faith? |
| 7319 | But when? |
| 7319 | But who, according to you, made those laws? |
| 7319 | But why are men guilty? |
| 7319 | But why is heaven enraged? |
| 7319 | But would it not be more humane and charitable to prevent the source of misery and poverty? |
| 7319 | But, according to these suppositions, has not God evidently missed his object? |
| 7319 | But, are not passions essential to man? |
| 7319 | But, are we masters of knowing or not knowing, of being in doubt or certainty? |
| 7319 | But, are you yourselves, in defending Religion and its chimeras, truly exempt from passions and interests? |
| 7319 | But, before we know that we must adore a God, must we not know certainly, that he exists? |
| 7319 | But, can an error be changed into truth by the belief of all men? |
| 7319 | But, do not these scourges fall indiscriminately upon the good and bad, upon the impious and devout, upon the innocent and guilty? |
| 7319 | But, do they not act, feel, and think, in a manner very similar to man? |
| 7319 | But, if the fairest of God''s works is imperfect, how can we judge of the divine perfections? |
| 7319 | But, in a world made purposely for him, and governed by an omnipotent God, is man in reality very happy? |
| 7319 | But, in reality, does not all religion give us the same ideas of God? |
| 7319 | But, is it indeed a fact, that religion is a restraint upon the vulgar? |
| 7319 | But, is modern theology superior to that of the savages? |
| 7319 | But, shall we put confidence in a malignant Providence, who laughs at, and sports with mankind? |
| 7319 | But, weak sovereign of the world; art thou sure, one moment, of the continuance of thy reign? |
| 7319 | But, what does this Religion in reality explain? |
| 7319 | But, what is God? |
| 7319 | But, who assures you, that your priests are not themselves deceived or wish to deceive you? |
| 7319 | But, who made man? |
| 7319 | But, why did God make this devil, destined to pervert mankind? |
| 7319 | But, why do you paint your God in colours so shocking, that he becomes insupportable? |
| 7319 | But, you will ask, why does not truth produce this effect upon many disordered minds? |
| 7319 | By calling mortals to life, what a cruel and dangerous part has not the Deity forced them to act? |
| 7319 | By what fatality then are there so many different religions upon earth? |
| 7319 | By what fatality then, have the first founders of all sects given to their gods ferocious characters, at which nature revolts? |
| 7319 | By what interests can they be animated? |
| 7319 | By what right do you deprive beasts of a soul, which you attribute to man, though you know nothing at all about it? |
| 7319 | By what right then would God be angry with beings, who were naturally incapable of knowing the divine essence? |
| 7319 | By what right would a machine despise a machine, whose springs facilitate its action? |
| 7319 | By what strange fatality have we never been able to elucidate the science of God? |
| 7319 | By what strange logic can we dare affirm, that a thing can not fail to happen, because we ardently desire it? |
| 7319 | By whom were these books written? |
| 7319 | Can God then permit injustice, even for an instant? |
| 7319 | Can a God have any of these motives? |
| 7319 | Can a being, who has called us into existence merely to make us miserable, be a generous, equitable, and tender father? |
| 7319 | Can a being, who is sometimes provoked, and sometimes appeased, be constantly the same? |
| 7319 | Can a good God amuse himself by perplexing his creatures? |
| 7319 | Can a work, with which the author himself is so little pleased, induce us to admire the ability of its Maker? |
| 7319 | Can an atheistical prince do more harm to the world, than a Louis XI., a Philip II., a Richelieu, who all united Religion with crime? |
| 7319 | Can an idea without an archetype be anything, but a chimera? |
| 7319 | Can he not give them? |
| 7319 | Can he not take them away? |
| 7319 | Can not then an immoral man be a good physician, architect, geometrician, logician, or metaphysician? |
| 7319 | Can such answers be satisfactory? |
| 7319 | Can the divine nature, of which we have no conception, enable us to conceive the nature of man? |
| 7319 | Can there be a better world than_ the best world possible_? |
| 7319 | Can we discern the shadow of clemency or goodness, in a God filled with implacable fury? |
| 7319 | Can we refrain from desiring the absence or destruction of a master, the idea of whom destroys our happiness? |
| 7319 | Can we, and ought we, to love God? |
| 7319 | Can we, and ought we, to love God? |
| 7319 | Could not God have created only angels of the good kind? |
| 7319 | Could not God, at least, have communicated to all men that kind of perfection, of which their nature is susceptible? |
| 7319 | Did the first man spring, ready formed, from the dust of the earth? |
| 7319 | Do not his reason and wisdom depend upon the opinions he has formed, or upon the conformation of his machine? |
| 7319 | Do not the prayers, continually addressed to heaven, shew, that men are by no means satisfied with the divine dispensations? |
| 7319 | Do not the smallest atoms of matter, which thou despisest, suffice to tear thee from thy throne, and deprive thee of life? |
| 7319 | Do not theologians reason very strangely? |
| 7319 | Do such numerous and constant evils give a very exalted idea of the future state, his goodness is preparing for us? |
| 7319 | Do the commands, revealed by any God, astonish us by their sublime reason or wisdom? |
| 7319 | Do they evidently tend to promote the happiness of the people, to whom the Divinity discloses them? |
| 7319 | Do they not suppose man continually dependent on his God? |
| 7319 | Do they reason in the same manner concerning the brutes? |
| 7319 | Do we ever see ferocious beasts of the same species mangle and destroy one another without profit? |
| 7319 | Do we ever see religious wars among them? |
| 7319 | Do we find greater probability for believing the existence of a spiritual being, than the existence of a stick without two ends? |
| 7319 | Do we not see, in many religions, that angels, have even attempted to dethrone him? |
| 7319 | Do we not still see human victims offered to the divinity? |
| 7319 | Do we see then, that Providence so very sensibly manifests herself in the preservation of those admirable works, which we attribute to her? |
| 7319 | Do we see, that this religion preserves them from intemperance, drunkenness, brutality, violence, fraud, and every kind of excess? |
| 7319 | Do you not discern, in this hideous character, the God, on whom you lavish your incense? |
| 7319 | Do you not often say, that_ the number of the elect is very small, and that of the reprobate very large_? |
| 7319 | Do you not say, that a_ narrow_ way leads to the happy regions, and a_ broad_ way to the regions of misery? |
| 7319 | Do you not see, that man is no more master of his religious opinions, his belief or unbelief, than of the language, which he learns from infancy? |
| 7319 | Do you see these treasures? |
| 7319 | Does it depend upon man to be born of such or such parents? |
| 7319 | Does it depend upon man to imbibe or not to imbibe the opinions of his parents or instructors? |
| 7319 | Does it not depend upon me to do it or not?" |
| 7319 | Does it not suffice to annihilate religious prejudice, to shew, that what is inconceivable to man, can not be good for him? |
| 7319 | Does not a single chagrin often suffice suddenly to poison the most peaceable and fortunate life? |
| 7319 | Does not all reform suppose, that, in his first effort, God could not give his religion the solidity and perfection required? |
| 7319 | Does not such morality give us a wonderful idea of the author of nature? |
| 7319 | Does not the soldier, through fear of disgrace, daily expose his life in battle, even at the risk of incurring eternal damnation? |
| 7319 | Does not this instinct, of which thou speakest with contempt, often serve them better than thy wonderful faculties? |
| 7319 | Does not tyranny deprive them of true power, of the love of the people, and of all safety? |
| 7319 | Does she not every moment destroy, by thousands, the very men, to whose preservation and welfare we suppose her continually attentive? |
| 7319 | Does the arrangement of his decrees alter the fate of the unhappy? |
| 7319 | Does the revealed conduct of God answer the magnificent ideas which theologians would give us of his wisdom, goodness, justice, and omnipotence? |
| 7319 | Does the same man always agree with himself in the notions he forms of his God? |
| 7319 | Does this God, who died to appease the implacable fury of his father, furnish us an example which men ought to follow? |
| 7319 | Does what he says of this plan correspond with the effects, which we see? |
| 7319 | Dost thou not see, that this soul is only the assemblage of thy organs, from which results life? |
| 7319 | Dost thou not see, that thy God has killed them? |
| 7319 | Dost thou often make use of that reason, in which thou gloriest, and to which religion commands thee not to listen? |
| 7319 | Finally, does not the king of animals at last become the food of worms? |
| 7319 | Finally, have these beasts, like so many mortals, a troubled imagination, which makes them fear, not only death, but likewise eternal torments? |
| 7319 | For what? |
| 7319 | Has a God appeared? |
| 7319 | Has he clearly explained to them his intentions and plan? |
| 7319 | Has he himself promulgated his laws? |
| 7319 | Has he informed them where he resides? |
| 7319 | Has he proved evidently that he exists? |
| 7319 | Has he spoken to men with his own mouth? |
| 7319 | Has he taught them what he is, or in what his essence consists? |
| 7319 | Has not Science the modesty to acknowledge how difficult it is to discover truth? |
| 7319 | Has not the visible world ever the advantage over the invisible? |
| 7319 | Has the Jew more rational ideas of divine justice than the Christian? |
| 7319 | Have beasts souls? |
| 7319 | Have nurses then more true ideas of God than the children whom they teach to pray? |
| 7319 | Have priests then a right to accuse unbelievers of pride? |
| 7319 | Have they not more than once convinced temporal princes, that even the greatest power is compelled to yield to the spiritual power of opinion? |
| 7319 | Have they not reason to apprehend, that the gigantic idols, which they raised to the clouds, will one day crush them by their enormous weight? |
| 7319 | Have those destroyers of the human race, known by the name of conquerors, more estimable souls than bears, lions, or panthers? |
| 7319 | Have you penetrated his judgments, his ways, his designs? |
| 7319 | How can it move a body? |
| 7319 | How can the voice of reason be heard by them who make it a principle never to examine for themselves, but to submit blindly to the guidance of others? |
| 7319 | How can we avoid complete infidelity, upon viewing principles, about which those who teach them to others are never agreed? |
| 7319 | How can we be assured of the existence of a being, whom we could never examine, and of whom it is impossible to conceive any permanent idea? |
| 7319 | How can we form any idea of such a substance? |
| 7319 | How can we help doubting the existence of a God, of whom it is evident that even his ministers can only form very fluctuating ideas? |
| 7319 | How can we in short avoid totally rejecting a God, who is nothing but a shapeless heap of contradictions? |
| 7319 | How can we love a being, of whom all that is said tends to render him an object of utter detestation? |
| 7319 | How can we love a being, whose character is only fit to throw us into inquietude and trouble? |
| 7319 | How can we love what we do not know? |
| 7319 | How can we receive for our model a being, whose divine perfections are precisely the reverse of human? |
| 7319 | How can we, without being alarmed, look upon a God, who is reputed to be barbarous enough to damn us? |
| 7319 | How could he punish beings, whom it belonged to him alone to reform, and who, while they have not_ grace_, can not act otherwise than they do? |
| 7319 | How could the human mind progress, while tormented with frightful phantoms, and guided by men, interested in perpetuating its ignorance and fears? |
| 7319 | How has it been possible to persuade reasonable beings, that the thing, most impossible to comprehend, was most essential to them? |
| 7319 | How many animals shew more mildness, reflection, and reason, than the animal, who calls himself reasonable above all others? |
| 7319 | How shall we distinguish whether the wonders, we behold, come from God or devil? |
| 7319 | How then can men judge, right or wrong, of these views; reason upon these ideas; or admire this intelligence? |
| 7319 | How then can you expect to please him by acts of barbarity, which he must necessarily disapprove? |
| 7319 | How then, I would ask, do you pretend that human nature, notwithstanding the death of a God, is still depraved? |
| 7319 | How will one admire the unknown ways of a hidden wisdom, whose manner of acting is inexplicable? |
| 7319 | However short an entertainment, a conversation, or visit, does not each desire to act his part decently, and agreeably to himself and others? |
| 7319 | If God be infinitely happy, if he be self- sufficient, what need has he of the homage of his feeble creatures? |
| 7319 | If God did not preserve him in the moment of sin, how could man sin? |
| 7319 | If God foreknows the future, must he not have foreseen the fall of his creatures? |
| 7319 | If God has created angels, who have not sinned, could he not have created impeccable men, or men who should never abuse their liberty? |
| 7319 | If God has spoken, is it not strange that he should have spoken so differently to the different religious sects? |
| 7319 | If I am an unbeliever, is it possible for me to banish from my mind the reasons that have shaken my faith? |
| 7319 | If I had been born of idolatrous or Mahometan parents, would it have depended upon me to become a Christian? |
| 7319 | If he be both willing and able( which alone is consonant to the nature of God) whence comes evil, or why does he not prevent it?" |
| 7319 | If life has sweets, with how much bitterness is it not mixed? |
| 7319 | If man''s existence is not useful or necessary to God, why did God make man? |
| 7319 | If so, do you not perceive, that these truths are not adapted to reasonable beings? |
| 7319 | If the elect are incapable of sinning in heaven, could not God have made impeccable men upon earth? |
| 7319 | If there existed a good God, should we not be forced to admit, that in this life he strangely neglects the greater part of mankind? |
| 7319 | If these seas bring me spices, and useless commodities, do they not destroy numberless mortals, who are foolish enough to seek them? |
| 7319 | If this nature is corrupted, why has not God repaired it? |
| 7319 | If we love what God hates, do we not expose ourselves to his implacable hatred? |
| 7319 | If you can not understand them, why do you decide about a thing, of which you are unable to form the least idea? |
| 7319 | If your God gives men leave to be damned, what have you to meddle with? |
| 7319 | In having passions? |
| 7319 | In short, is the conduct of Christian ministers conformable to the austere morality of Christ, their God, and their model? |
| 7319 | In this case, by what signs shall we know whether God means to instruct or ensnare us? |
| 7319 | In what consists this pretended depravity? |
| 7319 | In what does he differ essentially from beasts? |
| 7319 | Indeed, is there any one, who can form real ideas of such a mass of absence of ideas? |
| 7319 | Indeed, is there any one, who can form the least idea of such a substance? |
| 7319 | Is God a generous, equitable, and tender father? |
| 7319 | Is a being of this type, kind to himself, or useful to others? |
| 7319 | Is a credulous assassin less to be feared, than an assassin who believes nothing? |
| 7319 | Is a miracle capable of annihilating the evidence of a demonstrated truth? |
| 7319 | Is a very devout tyrant less tyrannical than an undevout tyrant? |
| 7319 | Is any thing more rash and extravagant, than to reason concerning an object, known to be inconceivable? |
| 7319 | Is he blind enough to be unmindful of his true interest, which ought to restrain him? |
| 7319 | Is he not forced to fear and avoid what he judges disagreeable or fatal? |
| 7319 | Is he not obliged to seek, desire, and love what is, or what he thinks is, conducive to his happiness? |
| 7319 | Is it a satisfactory explanation of phenomena, to attribute them to unknown agents, to invisible powers, to immaterial causes? |
| 7319 | Is it easy to conceive, that God can give men the inconceivable power of creating causes out of nothing? |
| 7319 | Is it easy to find many prelates humble, generous, void of ambition, enemies of pomp and grandeur, and friends of poverty? |
| 7319 | Is it more absurd to doubt one''s own existence, than to hesitate upon the impossibility of a being, whose qualities reciprocally destroy one another? |
| 7319 | Is it not a blessing to man to believe, that he shall be able to enjoy hereafter a happiness, which is denied him upon earth?" |
| 7319 | Is it not evident, that the desire of domineering over men is essential to their trade? |
| 7319 | Is it not strange, that one can be the friend of your God, only by declaring one''s self the enemy of reason and good sense? |
| 7319 | Is it not to confound all ideas of just and unjust, to say, that what is equitable in God is iniquitous in his creatures? |
| 7319 | Is it not very unjust to chastise beings, who could not act otherwise than they have done?" |
| 7319 | Is it possible to doubt any thing evident? |
| 7319 | Is it then astonishing, that priests have often made kings feel the superiority of the Celestial Monarch? |
| 7319 | Is it then possible to believe what we can not conceive? |
| 7319 | Is man master of reasoning well or ill? |
| 7319 | Is man, according to you, free, or not free? |
| 7319 | Is not Grace, which your God grants but to a very few, necessary to salvation? |
| 7319 | Is not man continually the victim of physical and moral evils? |
| 7319 | Is not such a belief the opinions of others without having any of our own? |
| 7319 | Is not such an idea as impossible, as an effect without a cause? |
| 7319 | Is not the Bread- God the idol of many Christian nations, who, in this respect, are as irrational, as the most savage? |
| 7319 | Is not the human machine, which is represented as a master- piece of the Creator''s skill, liable to derangement in a thousand ways? |
| 7319 | Is not the idea of total annihilation infinitely preferable to the idea of an eternal existence, attended with anguish and_ gnashing of teeth_? |
| 7319 | Is not the theologian''s God, as well as that of the deist, a cause incompatible with the effects attributed to it? |
| 7319 | Is pleasure then, which man continually desires, only a snare, which God has maliciously laid to surprise his weakness? |
| 7319 | Is reason any thing but a knowledge of the useful and true? |
| 7319 | Is then the death of your God wholly fruitless? |
| 7319 | Is there a state, subject to more frequent and cruel revolutions, than that of this unknown monarch? |
| 7319 | Is there in nature a more detestable being, than a Tiberius, a Nero, or a Caligula? |
| 7319 | Is there then any advantage in exercising tyranny? |
| 7319 | Is there upon earth a power which has a right to put itself in competition with that of the Most High? |
| 7319 | Is this answer satisfactory? |
| 7319 | Is this more extravagant than to doubt the non- existence of an evidently impossible being? |
| 7319 | Is this pretension any more rational? |
| 7319 | Is this then what is called preserving the universe? |
| 7319 | Is this virtue? |
| 7319 | May not this existence, threatened on so many sides, be torn from us any moment? |
| 7319 | Must the blood of nations flow to enhance the conjectures of a few infatuated dreamers? |
| 7319 | Nothing, or something? |
| 7319 | Of what importance is his existence to God? |
| 7319 | Of what importance is the infinite power of a being, who will do but very little in my favour? |
| 7319 | Of what kind or nature then is this divine justice? |
| 7319 | Of what service is the favour of a being, who, is able to do an infinite good, does not do even a finite one? |
| 7319 | On the other hand, if God himself could not make human nature impeccable, by what right does he punish men for not being impeccable? |
| 7319 | On the score of morals and honesty, has not he who reflects and reasons, evidently an advantage over him, who makes it a principle never to reason? |
| 7319 | Ought not every reasonable prince to perceive, that the despot is a madman, and an enemy to himself? |
| 7319 | Ought not the greatest saints to be ignorant whether they are_ worthy of love or hatred?_ Ye Priests! |
| 7319 | Ought not the least reflection suffice to prove, that God can have none of the human qualities, all ties, virtues, or perfections? |
| 7319 | Ought not this memorable example to convince priests, that prejudices triumph but for a time, and that truth alone can insure solid happiness? |
| 7319 | Ought we look for consolation, from the author of our misery? |
| 7319 | Priests govern by faith; but do not priests themselves acknowledge that God is to them incomprehensible? |
| 7319 | Religion unites man with God, or forms a communication between them; yet do they not say, God is infinite? |
| 7319 | Shall we find in_ Jehovah_ a model for our conduct? |
| 7319 | Shall we imitate the_ beneficent, mighty Jupiter_ of heathen antiquity? |
| 7319 | Shall we then imitate the_ Jesus_ of the Christians? |
| 7319 | Should the bird then be very grateful to the fowler for taking him in his net and confining him in his cage for his diversion? |
| 7319 | Since a God was indispensably requisite to men, why did they not worship the Sun, that visible God, adored by so many nations? |
| 7319 | Since my eternal happiness is at stake, have I not a right to examine the conduct of God himself? |
| 7319 | That, which excludes all idea, can it be any thing but nothing? |
| 7319 | The God of the Deist? |
| 7319 | The dogma of the remission of sins was invented for the interest of priests 166. Who fear God? |
| 7319 | The remission of sins was invented for the interest of priests 166. Who fear God? |
| 7319 | The same priests? |
| 7319 | This being the case, ought they not to impute their sufferings to him, into whose arms they fly for comfort? |
| 7319 | Thou boastest of thy intellectual faculties; but do these faculties, of which thou art so proud, make thee happier than other animals? |
| 7319 | Though it should be an error, is it not pleasing? |
| 7319 | To admire these views, is it not to admire without knowing why? |

| 38807 | And when the woman saw Samuel she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spake to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? 38807 But is employment always to be had?" |
| 38807 | But,says this gentleman,"Where do we get the idea of good and bad?" |
| 38807 | But,says this reverend doctor,"Whence comes this conception of space?" |

| 38807 | A man goes to the day of judgment, and they cross- examine him, and they say to him:"Did you believe the Bible?" |
| 38807 | According to this account, what was the sun, or rather the earth, stopped for? |
| 38807 | After all, is it not of more importance to speak the absolute truth? |

| 38807 | But why should any man deem it his duty or feel it a pleasure to say harsh and cruel things of the dead? |
| 38807 | But, Mr. Collyer, do you really think that a book with as many passages in favor of wrong as right, is inspired? |
| 38807 | But, after all, why should we expect charity in a church that believes in the dogma of eternal pain? |
| 38807 | Can Christianity afford to speak of war? |
| 38807 | Can God do nothing except to pronounce the sentence of eternal pain? |

| 38805 | Does not such a statement devour itself? |
| 38805 | Does the existence of such people conclusively prove the existence of a good Designer? |
| 38805 | Does the fact that Buddha taught the same tend to show that he was of divine origin? |
| 38805 | Does the fact that he died for that belief prove its truth? |
| 38805 | Does the following sound as though spoken by a God of mercy:"I will make mine arrows drunk"with blood, and my sword shall devour flesh"? |
| 38805 | Does the good Christian defame unanswering and unresisting dust? |
| 38805 | Does the real Christian malign the memory of the dead? |
| 38805 | Does the real Christian violate the sanctity of death? |
| 38805 | Does the right to read a book include the right to give your opinion as to the truth of what the book contains? |

| 38805 | God''s bodikins, man, much better: use every man after his desert, and who should''scape whipping? |

| 38805 | Had he no"omnipotence"left? |
| 38805 | Had these people any option as to whether they would be made or not? |

| 38805 | Has he correctly stated your position? |

| 38805 | Have I the right to read the Bible? |
| 38805 | Have I the right to say that God did not write the Koran? |
| 38805 | Have all honest men who have exam- ined the Bible believed it to be inspired? |
| 38805 | Have we any testimony, except human testimony, to substantiate any miracle? |
| 38805 | Have you any evidence that he was in a drunken condition when he died? |
| 38805 | Have you any other reasons for be- lieving it to be inspired? |
| 38805 | Have you in your writings been actuated by the fear of such a consequence? |
| 38805 | Have you no confidence in any pro- phecies? |
| 38805 | Have you not the same witnesses in favor of their authenticity, that you have in favor of the gospels? |
| 38805 | Have you read the sermon of Mr. Talmage, in which he exposes your mis- representations? |
| 38805 | Have you the right to be guided by your reason? |
| 38805 | Have you the same right to follow your reason after reading the Bible? |

| 38805 | How do you answer this? |
| 38805 | How do you explain the story of Elisha and the children,--where the two she- bears destroyed forty- two children on account of their impudence? |
| 38805 | How do you know he was converted? |

| 38805 | How do you know? |
| 38805 | How do you know? |
| 38805 | How do you under- stand this matter, and has Mr. Talmage stated the facts? |
| 38805 | How does he prove that he is a Christian? |
| 38805 | How does he regard the great and glorious of the earth, who have not been the victims of his particular superstition? |
| 38805 | How does it happen that the two gene- alogies given do not agree? |

| 38805 | How, then, do you account for the fact that, before the forbidden fruit was eaten, an evil serpent was in the world? |
| 38805 | How? |
| 38805 | I ask again, was this cruel? |
| 38805 | I ask the questions asked by Jefferson:"Is he"honest; is he capable?" |
| 38805 | I ask you again whether these splendid utterances came from the lips of a drunken beast? |
| 38805 | I want to ask you a few questions about the second sermon of Mr. Talmage; have you read it, and what do you think of it? |
| 38805 | If Christ had not been betrayed and 399 crucified, is it true that his own mother would be in perdition to- day? |
| 38805 | If Christ knew that Judas would betray him, why did he choose him? |
| 38805 | If God gave laws from Sinai what right have we to repeal them? |
| 38805 | If God''s witnesses were honest, anybody could believe, and what be- comes of faith, one of the greatest virtues? |
| 38805 | If I do not believe the Bible, whose fault is it? |
| 38805 | If I have the right to read the Bible, have I the right to try to understand it? |
| 38805 | If Mr. Talmage had been born in Turkey, is it not probable that he would now be a whirling Dervish? |
| 38805 | If Paine had died a millionaire, would you have accepted his religious opinions? |
| 38805 | If Paine had drank nothing but cold water would you have repudiated the five cardinal points of Calvin- ism? |
| 38805 | If Paine recanted why should he be denied"a little earth for charity"? |
| 38805 | If a man honestly thinks that the Bible is not inspired, what should he say? |
| 38805 | If he concludes that some of them are inspired, and believes them, will he then be damned for that belief? |
| 38805 | If he could have saved his life and did not, was he not guilty of suicide? |
| 38805 | If he recanted, he died substantially in your belief, for what reason then do you denounce his death as cowardly? |
| 38805 | If he wanted to kill anybody, why did he not kill David? |
| 38805 | If he was and is the God of all worlds, why does he not now give back to the widow her son? |
| 38805 | If he was false in his testimony as to liberty, what is his affidavit worth as to the value of Christianity? |
| 38805 | If he was so terribly against that crime, why did he forget to 69 mention it? |
| 38805 | If it had not been, then, for the con- fusion of languages, spelling books, grammars and dictionaries would have been useless? |
| 38805 | If it was a local flood, why did they put birds of the air into the ark? |
| 38805 | If it was necessary to believe on Jesus Christ, in order to be saved, how is it that Matthew failed to say so? |
| 38805 | If not, is Mr. Talmage a Baptist? |
| 38805 | If so, what? |
| 38805 | If the Catholic Church at that time had thrown out the book of Revelation, would it now be our duty to believe that book to have been inspired? |
| 38805 | If the Catholic Church was not infal- lible, is the question still open as to what books are, and what are not, inspired? |
| 38805 | If the light of which you speak was sufficient, why was the sun made? |
| 38805 | If the man had eaten of the tree of life, would he have lived forever? |
| 38805 | If the political theory of Mr. Talmage is carried out, of course the question will arise in a little while, What is a Christian? |
| 38805 | If they wanted to show that Christ was of the blood of David, why did they not give the gene- alogy of his mother if Joseph was not his father? |
| 38805 | If they were honest in the vote they gave, and died without changing their opinions, are they now in hell? |
| 38805 | If upon reading these apocryphal books a man concludes that they are not inspired, will he be damned for that reason? |
| 38805 | If we are under obligation to love our enemies, is not God under obligation to love his? |
| 38805 | If we forgive our enemies, ought not God to forgive his? |
| 38805 | If we forgive those who injure us, ought not God to forgive those who have not injured him? |
| 38805 | If you take this away from us, what do you propose to give us in its place? |
| 38805 | In the Psalms, Jehovah derides the idea of sacrifices, and says:"Will I eat of the flesh of"bulls, or drink the blood of goats? |
| 38805 | In the first place, what is an"infidel"? |
| 38805 | In the morn- ing at breakfast my mother asked Willet Hicks the following questions:"Was thee with Thomas Paine during his last sickness?" |
| 38805 | In what language? |
| 38805 | In what respect? |
| 38805 | In what way was his death cowardly? |
| 38805 | In your judgment, why did God destroy the Canaanites? |
| 38805 | Instead of having an inspired book, why did he not make inspired folks? |
| 38805 | Instead of having his commandments put on tables of stone, why did he not write them on each human brain? |
| 38805 | Is Buddhism true? |
| 38805 | Is Christ any more willing to take to his heart the whole world than his Father is? |
| 38805 | Is God infinite in wisdom and power? |
| 38805 | Is God satisfied with the adoration of the frightened? |
| 38805 | Is God the author of all books? |
| 38805 | Is God''s ship to go down in storm and darkness? |
| 38805 | Is Mr. Talmage willing that the question, What is Christianity? |
| 38805 | Is Saint John the only one who speaks of the necessity of being"born again"? |
| 38805 | Is all this a consequence of the wrath of God? |
| 38805 | Is he a Catholic? |
| 38805 | Is he as charitable and pitiful now, as he was then? |
| 38805 | Is he still omnipotent, and has he as much"omnipotence"now as he ever had? |
| 38805 | Is he the product-- the natural product-- of Chris- 150 tianity? |
| 38805 | Is he willing that I should exercise my judgment in deciding whether the Bible is inspired or not? |
| 38805 | Is he willing to accept the testimony even of ministers? |
| 38805 | Is he willing to admit that the testi- mony of a Bible, reader and believer is true? |
| 38805 | Is it a sure sign of an impure mind, when a man insists that God never waged wars of extermination against his helpless children? |
| 38805 | Is it as great a sin to admit into the Bible books that are uninspired as to reject those that are inspired? |
| 38805 | Is it because the mind of the infidel is poisoned, that he refuses to believe that an infinite God commanded the murder of mothers, maidens and babes? |
| 38805 | Is it because their minds are vile, that they refuse to believe that an infinite God established or protected polygamy? |
| 38805 | Is it calculated to convey the slightest information? |
| 38805 | Is it evidence of a thoroughly scientific mind to believe that one man turned over a house so large that three thousand people were on its roof? |
| 38805 | Is it neces- sary for those who profess to love the whole world, to hate the few they come in actual contact with? |
| 38805 | Is it necessary to believe all the miracles? |
| 38805 | Is it necessary to understand the Bible in order to be saved? |
| 38805 | Is it necessary, in order to ascertain the truth of Christianity, to look over the election re- turns? |
| 38805 | Is it not a little strange that religion should make men so coarse and ill- mannered? |
| 38805 | Is it not astonishing that so little is in the New Testament concerning the mother of Christ? |
| 38805 | Is it not better for each one to decide honestly for himself? |
| 38805 | Is it not infinitely impudent in him to contrast his penny- dip with the sun of inspiration? |
| 38805 | Is it not possible that something can be done for a human soul in another world as well as in this? |
| 38805 | Is it not singular that they were never mentioned afterward? |
| 38805 | Is it not strange that Christ, in his Ser- mon on the Mount, did not speak of"regeneration,"or of the"scheme of salvation"? |
| 38805 | Is it not strange that none of the disciples of Christ 123 said anything about their parents,--that we know absolutely nothing of them? |
| 38805 | Is it not true that some of these books were adopted by exceedingly small majorities? |
| 38805 | Is it not wonderful that God failed to pro- tect these innocent wives and children? |
| 38805 | Is it not wonderful that all the writers 404 of the four gospels do not give an account of the ascension of Jesus Christ? |
| 38805 | Is it not wonderful that some of them said that he did ascend, and others that he agreed to stay with his disciples always? |
| 38805 | Is it not wonderful that such awful con- sequences flowed from so small an act? |
| 38805 | Is it not wonderful that the Egyptians were not converted by the miracles wrought in their country? |
| 38805 | Is it not wonderful that they were not convinced of the power of God, by the many mira- cles wrought in Egypt and in the wilderness? |
| 38805 | Is it possible for any intelligent man now to believe that the history of Jonah is literally true? |
| 38805 | Is it possible that Christ is less for- giving in heaven than he was in Jerusalem? |
| 38805 | Is it possible that God can be gratified with the applause of moral cowards? |

| 38805 | Is it possible that a good God would take pains to deceive his children? |
| 38805 | Is it possible that the God of Mr. Tal- mage could not have made man a success? |
| 38805 | Is it possible that the eternal welfare of a human being depends upon believing the testimony of Poly- carp and Irenæus? |
| 38805 | Is it possible that the other writers never heard of these things? |
| 38805 | Is it possible that this will was made by a pauper--by a destitute outcast-- by a man who suffered for the ordinary necessaries of life? |
| 38805 | Is it possible to conceive of anything more fig- leaflessly 297 absurd? |
| 38805 | Is it possible to see"design"in earth- quakes, in volcanoes, in pestilence, in famine, in ruthless and relentless war? |
| 38805 | Is it scientific to assert that seven priests blew seven rams''horns loud enough to blow down the walls of a city? |
| 38805 | Is it scientific to imagine that thrusting a spear through the body of a woman ever stayed a plague? |
| 38805 | Is it scientific to say that a river cut itself in two and allowed the lower end to run off? |
| 38805 | Is it scientific to say that an animal saw an angel, and conversed with a man? |
| 38805 | Is it scientific to say that the muscle of a man de- pended upon the length of his locks? |
| 38805 | Is it unscientific to deny that water gushed from a hollow place in a dry bone? |
| 38805 | Is it worse in a man than in an angel, to care nothing for his mother? |
| 38805 | Is it your candid opinion that a man who does not believe the Bible should keep his belief a secret from his fellow- men? |
| 38805 | Is not self- denial in a man as praise- worthy as in a God? |
| 38805 | Is not that passage in Mark generally admitted to be an interpolation? |
| 38805 | Is not this a supply of liquor for dinner and supper?" |
| 38805 | Is not this true? |
| 38805 | Is that all we know about Polycarp? |
| 38805 | Is that portion of the last chapter of Mark found in the Syriac version of the Bible? |
| 38805 | Is the Bible scientific? |
| 38805 | Is the God of Mr. Talmage in partnership with the devil? |
| 38805 | Is the New Testament now the same as it was in the days of the early fathers? |
| 38805 | Is the man who shoulders his musket in the defence of human freedom good enough to cast a ballot? |
| 38805 | Is there any evidence that they showed any particular respect even for the mother of Christ? |
| 38805 | Is there to be a wreck at last? |
| 38805 | Is there"design"in this? |
| 38805 | Is this true? |
| 38805 | Is this true? |
| 38805 | Is virtue the same in all worlds? |
| 38805 | Is"inspiration"a question to be settled by the ballot? |
| 38805 | It is hardly fair to compare her with the inventor of the steamship? |
| 38805 | Jehovah got angry again, and said to Moses:"How long will these people provoke me? |
| 38805 | Mr. Talmage also charges you with"making light of holy things,"and seems to be aston- ished that you should ridicule the anointing oil of Aaron? |
| 38805 | Mr. Talmage also claims that we are indebted to Christianity for schools, colleges, univer- sities, hospitals and asylums? |
| 38805 | Mr. Talmage asks you whether, in your judgment, the Bible was a good, or an evil, to your parents? |
| 38805 | Mr. Talmage asks:"What has been the effect upon your children? |
| 38805 | Mr. Talmage charges that you have taken the ground that the Bible is a cruel book, and has produced cruel people? |
| 38805 | Mr. Talmage charges you with being"the champion blasphemer of America"--what do you understand blasphemy to be? |
| 38805 | Mr. Talmage charges you with having said that the Scriptures are a collection of polluted writings? |
| 38805 | Mr. Talmage in reply to you? |
| 38805 | Mr. Talmage says that infidels have done no good? |
| 38805 | Mr. Talmage thinks that you laugh too much,--that you exhibit too much mirth, and that no one should smile at sacred things? |
| 38805 | Mr. Talmage wants you to tell where the cruelty of the Bible crops out in the lives of Chris- tians? |
| 38805 | Must a man believe statements that he has every reason to think are false? |
| 38805 | Now suppose that in this belief the man had died,--what then? |
| 38805 | Now, if we are to take the testimony of Irenæus, 267 why not take it? |
| 38805 | Now, suppose that the father is an infidel, and the mother a Christian, what must the son do? |
| 38805 | Of course, infidels laugh at these things; but what can you expect of men who have not been"born"again"? |
| 38805 | Of what use are all the sciences, if you lose your own soul? |
| 38805 | Of what use to the world was Bishop Mcllvaine, compared with the inventor of needles? |
| 38805 | Of what use were a hundred such priests compared with the inventor of matches, or even of clothes- pins? |
| 38805 | On what day did God make vegetation? |
| 38805 | Once he pitied even thieves; does he now abhor an intellectually honest man? |
| 38805 | Or, was it a belief in the Bible that made Mr. Talmage deny the truth of their statements? |
| 38805 | Paine, you have not answered my questions; will you answer them? |
| 38805 | Perhaps it has, but would it not be well enough to answer it once more? |
| 38805 | Should Christians pray for the con- version of infidels? |
| 38805 | Should Christians try to convert them? |
| 38805 | Should a God be worshiped, and a man be damned, for the same action? |
| 38805 | Should he have betrayed Christ, or let somebody else do it; or should he have allowed the world to perish, in- cluding his own soul? |
| 38805 | Should we believe the miracles, whether they are reasonable or not? |
| 38805 | So you think that, after all, it was not God''s intention that the Jews should become civilized? |
| 38805 | Some may not have seen the answer? |
| 38805 | Suppose Judas had understood the divine plan, what ought he to have done? |
| 38805 | Suppose a man is firmly convinced that Polycarp knew nothing about Saint John, and that Saint John knew nothing about Christ,--what then? |
| 38805 | Suppose he is convinced that Eusebius is utterly unworthy of credit,--what then? |
| 38805 | Suppose his father had been a Catholic, and his mother a Protestant,--what then? |
| 38805 | Suppose his parents had both been infidels-- what then? |
| 38805 | Suppose it should turn out that some of these miracles depend upon mistranslations of the original Hebrew, should we still believe them? |
| 38805 | Suppose that Hannah More had never lived? |
| 38805 | Suppose that doubts force themselves upon my mind? |
| 38805 | Suppose that the Christian religion had been put to vote in Jerusalem? |
| 38805 | Suppose that the infidel is a good man, how will you answer him then? |
| 38805 | Suppose that the same man should read the Koran, and come to the conclusion that it is not an inspired book; what ought he to say? |
| 38805 | The question is: Is the Bible a cruel book? |
| 38805 | The second time was at the marriage feast in Cana, when he said to her:"Woman, what have I to do"with thee?" |
| 38805 | The text from which he preached is:"Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?" |
| 38805 | The worship of the sun was an exceedingly natural religion, and why should a man or woman be destroyed for kneeling at the fireside of the world? |
| 38805 | Then hypocrisy will not save him? |
| 38805 | Then the Old Testament tells us how we lost immortality, not that we are immortal, does it? |
| 38805 | Then why did Luke say in the same verse of the same chapter that"Jesus increased in"favor with God"? |
| 38805 | Then you regard belief as the safe way? |
| 38805 | Then you think that there is no such thing as the crime of blasphemy, and that no such offence can be committed? |
| 38805 | There are in Russia about eighty millions of people--how many Christians? |
| 38805 | There are more Buddhists than Christians-- why does he vote against majorities? |
| 38805 | There are more Methodists than Presbyterians-- why does the gentleman remain a Presbyterian? |
| 38805 | There was a time when an abolitionist could not be elected to office in any State in this Union; what did that prove? |
| 38805 | There was a time when no man could have been elected to any office, who in- 300 sisted on the rotundity of the earth; what did that prove? |
| 38805 | There was a time when no man who denied the existence of witches, wizards, spooks and devils, could hold any position of honor; what did that prove? |
| 38805 | There was a time when they were not allowed to express their honest thoughts; what does that prove? |
| 38805 | They had wandered so long in the desert that they finally cried out:"Wherefore have ye brought us"up out of Egypt to die in the wilderness? |
| 38805 | This being so, this miracle is the best attested of all? |
| 38805 | This being so, why did not God reveal himself to every human being? |
| 38805 | Twelfth-- If Thomas Paine recanted, why do you pursue him? |
| 38805 | Was Abraham pursued by the justice of God because of the crime against Hagar, or for the crime against his own wife? |
| 38805 | Was Christ the God of the universe at the time of his birth? |
| 38805 | Was God afraid that Adam and Eve might get back into the garden, and eat of the fruit of the tree of life? |
| 38805 | Was God always patient and kind and merciful toward his children while they were in the wilderness? |
| 38805 | Was God at that time, in favor of slavery? |
| 38805 | Was God driven to madness by the conduct of his chosen people? |
| 38805 | Was God, at that time, merciful? |
| 38805 | Was Mohammed an im- postor? |
| 38805 | Was anything more infamous ever recorded in the annals of barbarism? |
| 38805 | Was he a 479 drunken beast when he wrote the"Crisis"? |
| 38805 | Was he convinced before that time? |
| 38805 | Was he in the world before the for- bidden fruit was eaten? |
| 38805 | Was he the infinite God, creator and controller of the entire universe, before he was born? |
| 38805 | Was he turned out to prevent his eating? |
| 38805 | Was he willing that the"unconverted"should cover 308 the fields of victory with their corpses, that this nation might not die? |
| 38805 | Was he willing, at that time, that sinners should vote to keep our flag in heaven? |
| 38805 | Was it a belief in the Bible that colored their testimony? |
| 38805 | Was it beastly to die without a com- plaint, without a murmur-- to pass from life without a fear? |
| 38805 | Was it beastly to look with composure upon the approach of death? |
| 38805 | Was it beastly to submit to the inevitable with tranquillity? |
| 38805 | Was it because in the light of that letter Mary Roscoe, Mary Hinsdale and Grant Thorburn appeared un- worthy of belief? |
| 38805 | Was it because it proved beyond all cavil that Thomas Paine did not recant? |

| 38805 | or let me qualify the question, do you wish to believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?'' |
| 38805 | should be so settled? |
| 38805 | why hast thou forsaken me?" |

| 38811 | And that this God at the same time he gave the Ten Commandments ordered the Jews to break the most of them? |

| 38811 | Now, then, to come to the point, to answer the interrogatory often flung at us from the pulpit, What institutions have Infidels built? |
| 38811 | Now, what has a man the right to say about that? |
| 38811 | ONE HUNDRED years after Christ had died suppose some one had asked a Christian, What hospitals have you built? |
| 38811 | Of what shape are they? |
| 38811 | On the way the wolf happened to notice that some hair was worn off the dog''s neck, and he said,"How did the hair become worn?" |
| 38811 | Ought I to clap my hand over my mouth and start for another State, and the minute I got over the line say,"It is not true, It is not true"? |
| 38811 | Ought a man to be despised and persecuted for denying that God ordered the priests to make women drink dirt and water to test their virtue? |
| 38811 | Ought an honest man to be sent to the penitentiary for simply telling the truth? |
| 38811 | Ought not the work of a God to be vastly superior to that of a man? |

| 38811 | She is asked:"Love you the man that wronged you?" |
| 38811 | Should God allow such wretches to manage his fire? |

| 38811 | The defenders of orthodox creeds should have the courage to candidly answer at least two questions: First, Is the Bible inspired? |
| 38811 | The first question for you, gentlemen, to decide in this case is: Is this statute constitutional? |
| 38811 | The great question is, How shall this right of self- defence be exercised? |
| 38811 | The other day I was asked these questions:"Has there been as much heroism displayed for the right as for the wrong? |
| 38811 | The question arises: Is a State responsible for the action of its agent when acting contrary to law? |
| 38811 | The question is, Has it the right to punish?--has it the right to degrade?--or should it endeavor to reform the convict? |
| 38811 | The question is, Who has the right on his side? |
| 38811 | The question is: Can miracles be established except by miracles? |
| 38811 | The question is: Is Christianity declining? |
| 38811 | The question is: When will people see the defects in their own theology as clearly as they perceive the same defects in every other? |
| 38811 | The wolf said,"Do you think this man would treat me as he does you?" |

| 8140 | Next, at the marriage of Cana, when He said to the woman,"What have I to do with thee?" |
| 8140 | No prospective fathers or mothers- in- law; no prying and gossiping neighbors; nobody to say,"Young man, how do you expect to support her?" |

| 8140 | Now, if God wanted to get up a flood big enough to drown sin, why did He not get up a flood big enough to drown the snake? |
| 8140 | Now, if men have been slaves, if they have crawled in the dust before one another, what shall I say of women? |
| 8140 | Now, what does the Bible teach? |
| 8140 | Of these churches we will ask this question:"How can a man who conscientiously believes in religious liberty worship a God who does not?" |

| 8140 | Or will you be so good then that you wo n''t care how you used to be? |
| 8140 | Our fathers denounced materialism and accounted for all phenomena how? |
| 8140 | Q. I suppose you fully appreciate the religious characteristics of the Song of Solomon? |

| 8140 | Saved from poverty? |
| 8140 | Says I:"Do you think a great many people are going to hell?" |

| 8140 | She marries and loves, and holds in her arms a beautiful child? |
| 8140 | She said,"What did I tell you?" |
| 8140 | Should any great credit be given to this deity for not being caught with such chaff? |
| 8140 | Should not the merciful God practice what he preaches? |
| 8140 | So they had this young man ask:"What lack I yet?" |
| 8140 | So they would go into the room and the doctor would feel his pulse and ask him:"Did you drink two pitchers of water?" |

| 8140 | Some gentleman said,"How about Delaware?" |
| 8140 | Suppose then that Smith should say to Brown,"You''re a liar,"and Brown should reply to Smith,"And you''re a liar,"what would you think? |
| 8140 | Suppose we all said that, where would be the progress of the world? |
| 8140 | Suppose we wanted now to break certain cannibals of eating missionaries-- wanted to stop them from eating them raw? |
| 8140 | Supposing the blood got on the left toe? |

| 8140 | Swing?" |
| 8140 | That what they are pleased to call the adaptation of means to ends, is as apparent in the cancer as in the April rain? |

| 8140 | The best test of a man is, how does he use power? |
| 8140 | The business we will attend to now is, how are, we to civilize the world? |
| 8140 | The churches point to their decayed saints and their crumbled popes and say,"Do you know more than all the ministers that ever lived?" |
| 8140 | The grand test question was:"Boys, if it was God''s will that you should go to Hell, would you be willing to go?" |
| 8140 | The great, the rich, the powerful? |
| 8140 | The next question then is: Can I commit a sin against God by thinking? |
| 8140 | The question is"Bad as I am, have I a right to think?" |
| 8140 | The question with them is not,"What will we do in some other world?" |
| 8140 | The real question is this: Are we to be governed by a supernatural being, or are we to govern ourselves? |
| 8140 | The real question is, in the light of science, in the light of the brain and heart of the nineteenth century, is this book true? |
| 8140 | The voice cried,"Who is there?" |
| 8140 | Then another thing, why did He want to drown the animals? |
| 8140 | Then they say to me:"What do you propose? |
| 8140 | Then what does he teach it to little children for? |
| 8140 | Then what happened? |
| 8140 | Then what would it be your duty to do-- kill her? |
| 8140 | Then where were these Jews? |
| 8140 | Then why torment him if it will not do him good? |
| 8140 | Then, after all, you do not pretend that the Scriptures are really inspired? |
| 8140 | There is none good but one, and that is God, but if thou will enter into eternal life, keep the commandments,''and he said unto Him,''Which?''" |
| 8140 | These are the men who are in heaven; and who else? |
| 8140 | They gave us paper, and what is printing without paper? |
| 8140 | They seem to say:"Aha, what did I tell you?" |
| 8140 | Think of the amount of thought it must have required to invent a way by which the life of one man might be given to produce one cancer? |
| 8140 | This sacred book, this foundation of human liberty, of morality, does it teach concubinage and polygamy? |
| 8140 | This world; where did it come from? |
| 8140 | To save his life? |
| 8140 | To the manner in which he was baptized? |
| 8140 | To what church did he belong? |
| 8140 | Tyranny? |
| 8140 | Under such circumstances, what can their thoughts be worth? |
| 8140 | Under these circumstances what wretched object can he have in lengthening out his aimless life? |
| 8140 | Under these conditions, all your Scotts, Henrys and McKnights have written; and weighed in these scales what are their commentaries worth? |
| 8140 | Was ever any imp of any devil guilty of such savagery? |
| 8140 | Was that really a snake, or was it the appearance of a snake? |
| 8140 | Was that true? |

| 38802 | How many millions of Christians are in the uniform of forgiveness, armed with the muskets of love? |
| 38802 | How many millions of Christians are now armed and equipped to destroy their fellow- Christians? |
| 38802 | How many people are being born a year? |
| 38802 | How many people were in the promised land already? |
| 38802 | How many trees can live under miles of water for a year? |
| 38802 | How many walked beneath the standard of the master of Nature? |
| 38802 | How much did it rain a day? |
| 38802 | How much? |
| 38802 | How was it ever possible to prove a thing like that? |
| 38802 | How was it possible for Lucretius to get along without the Bible?--how did the great and glorious of that empire? |
| 38802 | How was man created simply from dust? |
| 38802 | How was the ark kept clean? |
| 38802 | How was the woman created from a rib? |
| 38802 | How were some portions of the ark heated for animals from the tropics, and others kept cool for the polar bears? |
| 38802 | How were the animals from the tropics kept warm? |
| 38802 | How were the animals kept from freezing? |
| 38802 | How were the animals preserved after leaving the ark? |
| 38802 | How were the animals watered? |
| 38802 | How were the tender plants and herbs preserved? |
| 38802 | How were these flocks supported? |
| 38802 | How were they supported until the world was again clothed with grass? |
| 38802 | How were those animals taken care of that subsisted on others? |
| 38802 | How would the hornets know a Canaanite? |
| 38802 | How would you keep Sunday then? |
| 38802 | How? |
| 38802 | I again ask the old question, Of what did he make it? |
| 38802 | I am the one you endeavored to kill, but Death is my slave"? |
| 38802 | I ask again, how were Adam and Eve created? |
| 38802 | I ask the Christian world to- day, was it right for the heathen to sell their children? |
| 38802 | I said,"Do you think the people who were drowned believed in special providence?" |
| 38802 | I would say,"Where were you when you got the notice to come back? |
| 38802 | IF we abandon myth and miracle, if we discard the supernatural and the scheme of redemption, how are we to civilize the world? |
| 38802 | If Christ was in fact God, why did he not plainly say there is another life? |
| 38802 | If Christ wished to convince his fellow- men by miracles, why did he not do something that could not by any means have been a counterfeit? |
| 38802 | If he takes a book as a standard, does he so take it because it is to him reasonable? |
| 38802 | If he wanted to raise the dead, why did he not raise some man of importance, some one known to all? |
| 38802 | If he wished miraculously to increase the population, why did he not wait until the people were free? |
| 38802 | If he wished to do away with the idolatry of the Canaanites, why did he not appear to them? |
| 38802 | If he wished to keep man and this tree apart, why did he put them together? |
| 38802 | If it does, is it not blasphemous to say that it is inspired of God? |
| 38802 | If it is a revelation, what does it reveal? |
| 38802 | If it is all an allegory, what truth is sought to be conveyed? |
| 38802 | If it was the fact, if the dead Christ rose from the grave, why did he not appear to his enemies? |
| 38802 | If miracles were necessary to convince men eighteen centuries ago, are they not necessary now? |
| 38802 | If the Bible is not obscene, what book is? |
| 38802 | If the book and my brain are both the work of the same Infinite God, whose fault is it that the book and the brain do not agree? |
| 38802 | If the devil had written upon the subject of slavery, which side would he have taken? |
| 38802 | If the devil told a man to kill his wife, would you be shocked? |
| 38802 | If the devil upheld polygamy, would you be surprised? |
| 38802 | If the devil wanted to kill men for differing with him would you be astonished? |
| 38802 | If the flood was simply a partial flood, why were birds taken into the ark? |
| 38802 | If the words are not inspired, what is? |
| 38802 | If there is any difference between days, ought not that to be considered best in which the most useful labor has been performed? |
| 38802 | If there is no devil, who was the original tempter in the garden of Eden? |
| 38802 | If there is no hell, from what are we saved; to what purpose is the atonement? |
| 38802 | If they are right, then how long was the seventh day? |
| 38802 | If this is so, why should the law have been given? |
| 38802 | If this is so, why should the serpent have been cursed? |
| 38802 | If this is true, why did he"come down to see the city and the tower?" |
| 38802 | If this was the order of God, what, under the same circumstances, would have been the command of a devil? |
| 38802 | If we think that God is kinder than he really is, will our poor souls be burned for that? |
| 38802 | If you have it, why seek it? |
| 38802 | If you knew the devil had written a work on human slavery, in your judgment, would he uphold slavery, or denounce it? |
| 38802 | In that eternity what was this God doing? |
| 38802 | In the New Testament we find that in giving the genealogy of Christ it says,"who was the son of Joseph?" |
| 38802 | In the light shed upon this question by the telescope, I again ask, where was he going? |
| 38802 | In what way did he overcome the intense cold? |
| 38802 | In what way is the human reason to be ignored? |
| 38802 | In what way would God put it in the mind of a hornet to attack a Canaanite? |
| 38802 | In what? |
| 38802 | Instead of healing a withered arm, why did he not find some man whose arm had been cut off, and make another grow? |
| 38802 | Instead of turning them out, why did he not keep him from getting in? |
| 38802 | Is Christ to be praised for resisting such a temptation? |
| 38802 | Is a god who will burn a soul forever in another world, better than a Christian who burns the body for a few hours in this? |
| 38802 | Is a man to be eternally rewarded for believing according to evidence, without evidence, or against evidence? |
| 38802 | Is credulity the mother of virtue? |
| 38802 | Is falsehood a reforming power? |
| 38802 | Is he in trouble? |
| 38802 | Is he in want? |
| 38802 | Is he unhappy? |
| 38802 | Is innocence always acquitted? |
| 38802 | Is it conceivable that fits wanted Christ to fall down and worship them? |
| 38802 | Is it easy to account for famine, for pestilence and plague if there be above us all a Ruler infinitely good, powerful and wise? |
| 38802 | Is it necessary to believe that God is a kind of prestigiator-- a sleight- of- hand performer, a magician or sorcerer? |
| 38802 | Is it not a little curious that no priest of one religion has ever been able to astonish a priest of another religion by telling a miracle? |
| 38802 | Is it not a little curious that the priests of one religion never believe the priests of another? |
| 38802 | Is it not a little strange that the believers in sacred books regard all except their own as having been made by hypocrites and fools? |
| 38802 | Is it not a strange coincidence that there should be contradictory accounts mingled in both the Babylonian and Jewish stories? |
| 38802 | Is it not altogether more probable that some ignorant Hebrew would write the vulgar words? |
| 38802 | Is it not far better and wiser to take the good and throw the bad away? |
| 38802 | Is it not humiliating to know that our ancestors believed these things? |
| 38802 | Is it not strange that a Chinaman should find out by his own exertions more about the material universe than Moses could when assisted by its Creator? |
| 38802 | Is it not wonderful that while God told his people what animals were fit for food, he failed to give a list of plants that man might eat? |
| 38802 | Is it not, after all, barely possible that a man acting like Christ can be saved? |
| 38802 | Is it on account of that transaction in the Garden of Eden, that all the descendants of Adam and Eve known as Jews and Christians hate serpents? |
| 38802 | Is it possible for any sane and intelligent man to believe this story? |
| 38802 | Is it possible for this God to prevent it? |
| 38802 | Is it possible for us to believe that an infinite being would resort to such expedients in order to drive the Canaanites from their country? |
| 38802 | Is it possible not to hate and despise him? |
| 38802 | Is it possible that God is intolerant? |
| 38802 | Is it possible that God would make a successful rival? |
| 38802 | Is it possible that Matthew saw this, the most miraculous of miracles, and yet forgot to put it in his life of Christ? |
| 38802 | Is it possible that a God capable of doing the miracles recounted in the Old Testament could not, in some way, have disposed of the wild beasts? |
| 38802 | Is it possible that a being of infinite purity-- the author of modesty, would smirch the pages of his book with stories lewd, licentious and obscene? |
| 38802 | Is it possible that any one now believes that the whole world would be of one speech had the language not been confounded at Babel? |
| 38802 | Is it possible that fits can talk? |
| 38802 | Is it possible that fits carried Christ himself to the pinnacle of a temple? |
| 38802 | Is it possible that he could not see whether the waters had gone? |
| 38802 | Is it possible that of all these, the Bible only is the work of God? |
| 38802 | Is it possible that seventy people could increase to that extent in two hundred and fifteen years? |
| 38802 | Is it possible that the Infinite could not overwhelm with waves this atom called the earth? |
| 38802 | Is it possible that the Pentateuch could not have been written by uninspired men? |
| 38802 | Is it possible that the sacrifice of a perfect being was acceptable to God? |
| 38802 | Is it possible to conceive of a more perfectly childish way of ascertaining whether the earth was dry? |
| 38802 | Is it possible to imagine what was really done? |
| 38802 | Is it possible to love a God who would make such laws? |
| 38802 | Is it really necessary to believe this account in order to be happy here, or hereafter? |
| 38802 | Is it the church? |
| 38802 | Is it true that man was once perfectly pure and innocent, and that he became degenerate by disobedience? |
| 38802 | Is it true that when we kill a snake we also destroy an evil spirit, or is there but one devil, and did he perish at the death of the first serpent? |
| 38802 | Is justice always done? |
| 38802 | Is not such a course dishonorable to both? |
| 38802 | Is not such a course far more reasonable than to insist that all these things are true and must stand though every science shall fall to mental dust? |
| 38802 | Is orthodox Christianity on the increase? |
| 38802 | Is rest holier than labor? |
| 38802 | Is that because we are depraved? |
| 38802 | Is the freedom of the future to exist only in perdition? |
| 38802 | Is then the Bible a different book to every human being who reads it? |
| 38802 | Is there a Christian woman, civilized, intelligent, and free, who believes in the institution of polygamy? |
| 38802 | Is there a land without a grave, and where good- bye is never heard?" |
| 38802 | Is there a solitary Christian nation that will trust any other? |
| 38802 | Is there a standard of a standard? |
| 38802 | Is there a world without death, without pain, without a tear? |
| 38802 | Is there an honest man who does not regret that God commanded a husband to stone his wife for suggesting the worship of some other God? |
| 38802 | Is there any saving grace in hypocrisy? |
| 38802 | Is there any saving grace in the impossible and absurd? |
| 38802 | Is there any sense in that? |
| 38802 | Is there any theologian who will contend that man was created directly from the earth? |
| 38802 | Is there anything in the New Testament as beautiful as this?--"Shall I tell thee where nature is most blest and fair? |
| 38802 | Is there anything in the New Testament more beautiful than the story of the Sufi? |
| 38802 | Is there anything in the literature of the world more nearly perfect than this thought? |
| 38802 | Is there anything that can be more perfectly absurd than that a space of time can be holy? |
| 38802 | Is there no intellectual liberty in heaven? |
| 38802 | Is there one who will now say that, under such circumstances, the wife ought to have been killed? |
| 38802 | Is there one who will publicly declare that, in his judgment, that institution ever was right? |
| 38802 | Is there wisdom in this? |
| 38802 | Is there, in all the history of war, a more infamous thing than this? |
| 38802 | Is there, in the civilized world, to- day, a clergyman who believes in the divinity of slavery? |
| 38802 | Is this belief necessary unto salvation? |
| 38802 | Is this established by the history of nations? |
| 38802 | It will be the same to- morrow, will it not? |
| 38802 | Let another read him who knows nothing of the drama, nothing of the impersonations of passion, and what does he get? |
| 38802 | Lover-- husband-- wife-- mother-- father-- child-- home!--? |
| 38802 | Must I be false to my understanding? |
| 38802 | Must a man be born a second time before this account seems reasonable? |
| 38802 | Must not the reason be convinced? |
| 38802 | Must the civilized accept the religion of savages? |
| 38802 | Must we believe anything that can not in any way be substantiated? |
| 38802 | Must we believe that God called some of his children the money of others? |
| 38802 | Must we regard the auction block as an altar? |
| 38802 | Must we, in order to be good, gentle and loving in our lives, believe that the creation of woman was a second thought? |
| 38802 | Now, I ask, whether it was unreasonable for the Jews to suggest that a little meat would be very gratefully received? |
| 38802 | Now, after concluding to make"an helpmeet"for Adam, what did the Lord God do? |
| 38802 | Of art, or joy? |
| 38802 | Of what did he make it? |
| 38802 | On which of the six days was he created? |
| 38802 | Ought a god to take any credit to himself for making depraved people? |
| 38802 | People ask me, if I take away the Bible what are we going to do? |
| 38802 | Robert Collyer suggests,"nourish a bank of violets"? |
| 38802 | Science passed its hand above it and beneath it, and where was the old heaven and where was the hell? |
| 38802 | Shall I take another man''s word-- not what he thinks, but what he says some God has said to him? |
| 38802 | Should we imagine that he was divinely inspired because he gave to the Jews what the Egyptians had given him? |
| 38802 | Suppose a man came into this city and should meet a funeral procession, and say,"Who is dead?" |
| 38802 | Suppose nothing had been in the Old Testament except laws in favor of these crimes, would it still be insisted that it was inspired? |
| 38802 | Suppose nothing had been in the Old Testament upholding these crimes, would the modern Christian suspect that it was not inspired on that account? |
| 38802 | Suppose the compasses were not constant to the pole-- no two compasses exactly alike-- would you expect all ships to reach the same harbor? |
| 38802 | Suppose we invent something that can go one thousand miles an hour? |
| 38802 | That Jehovah really endeavored to induce Adam to take one of the lower animals as an helpmeet for him? |
| 38802 | That all his bones were formed as they now are, and all the relations of nerve, ligament, brain and motion as they are to- day? |
| 38802 | The Christians tell me that God is the author of these vile and stupid things? |
| 38802 | The Euphrates still journeys to the gulf, but where are Pison, Gihon and the mighty Heddekel? |
| 38802 | The Recording Secretary, or whoever does the cross- examining, says to a soul: Where are you from? |
| 38802 | The hail experiment having accomplished nothing, do you believe that God murdered the first- born of animals and men? |
| 38802 | The next question is, how many beasts, fowls and creeping things did Noah take into the ark? |
| 38802 | The question, then arises, whether within the last six thousand years there have been such upheavals and displacements? |
| 38802 | The religion of Jesus Christ, as preached by his church, causes war, bloodshed, hatred, and all uncharitableness; and why? |
| 38802 | Then what became of the body that died? |
| 38802 | Then which day would you keep? |
| 38802 | Then why did he say anything upon these subjects? |
| 38802 | Then why does not God give me the evidence? |
| 38802 | There were plenty of other loaves and other fishes in the world? |
| 38802 | Thereupon, Moses returned unto the Lord and said,"Lord, wherefore hast thou so evil entreated this people? |
| 38802 | They said to the priests:"Where is your New Jerusalem?" |
| 38802 | This God, waiting around Eden-- knowing all the while what would happen-- having made them on purpose so that it would happen, then does what? |
| 38802 | This is what happens--"What is your name?" |
| 38802 | Unless the Lord God was looking for an helpmeet for Adam, why did he cause the animals to pass before him? |
| 38802 | Until then, I will remain and suffer where I am?" |
| 38802 | Upon what food did he subsist before his conversation with Eve? |
| 38802 | WILL any one claim that the passages upholding slavery have liberated mankind? |
| 38802 | WILL the unknown, the mysteries of life and itiations of the mind, forever furnish food for superstition? |
| 38802 | Was God at that time governing the world? |
| 38802 | Was he endeavoring to spread his gospel? |
| 38802 | Was he envious of the success of the Egyptian magicians? |
| 38802 | Was he so ignorant of the structure of the human mind as to believe all honest doubt a crime? |
| 38802 | Was it not possible for him to make such a convincing display of his power as to silence forever the voice of unbelief? |
| 38802 | Was it right for God not only to uphold, but to command the infamous traffic in human flesh? |
| 38802 | Was religious liberty born of that infamous verse in which the husband is commanded to kill his wife for worshiping an unknown God? |
| 38802 | Was that, too, a geologic period covering thousands of ages? |
| 38802 | Was the Lord God compelled to take a part of the man because he had used up all the original"nothing"out of which the universe was made? |
| 38802 | Was the fish"spiritual?" |
| 38802 | Was the slave- pen a temple? |
| 38802 | Was there a time when the institution of polygamy was the highest expression of human virtue? |
| 38802 | Was there ever a time in the history of the world when it was right to treat woman simply as property? |
| 38802 | Was there in the garden a tree of life, the eating of which would have rendered Adam and Eve immortal? |
| 38802 | Was there not room outside of the garden to put his tree, if he did not want people to eat his apples? |
| 38802 | Was this the work of the most merciful God, the father of us all? |
| 38802 | We are told that God made man; and the question naturally arises, how was this done? |
| 38802 | We know how it was ventilated; but what was done with the filth? |
| 38802 | We know that after that he lived upon dust, but what did he eat before? |
| 38802 | We should have said to him,"What do you propose to give us in place of that angel? |
| 38802 | We would have asked that man whether he knew more than all the great minds of his country, whether he was so much wiser than his fathers? |
| 38802 | Well, what else? |
| 38802 | Well, why? |
| 38802 | Were blood hounds apostles? |
| 38802 | Were the stealers and whippers of babes and women the justified children of God? |
| 38802 | Were these parts, so worn away, perpetually renewed, or was the nature of things so changed that they could not wear away? |
| 38802 | Were they better than other nations? |
| 38802 | What are the Christian nations doing to- day in Europe? |
| 38802 | What are they to do? |
| 38802 | What are we going to do if we have no Bible to quarrel about What are we to do without hell? |
| 38802 | What are we going to do with our enemies? |

| 38806 | Why, you ask, do men suffer so? |
| 38806 | Why? |
| 38806 | Why? |
| 38806 | Why? |
| 38806 | Why? |
| 38806 | Why? |
| 38806 | Why? |
| 38806 | Will God hold a poor girl to the bitter dregs of a mistaken bargain? |
| 38806 | Will Mr. Black be kind enough to state at what time"the church covered the globe with institutions of mercy"? |
| 38806 | Will Mr. Black have the kindness to state a few of his objections to the devil? |
| 38806 | Will he be more merciful? |
| 38806 | Will he be wiser? |
| 38806 | Will he deride the misshapen? |
| 38806 | Will he have more power? |
| 38806 | Will he not desire the higher and better side to be true? |
| 38806 | Will he not take into consideration the imperfections, the ignorance, the temptations and the passions of his children? |
| 38806 | Will he tell him the circumstances under which he received the revelation? |
| 38806 | Will he tell him why he is convinced that it was from God? |
| 38806 | Will it add to the grief of God? |
| 38806 | Will it in any way affect his well- being? |
| 38806 | Will it increase the happiness of the infinite for me to remain homeless and husbandless? |
| 38806 | Will it make any difference to God whether it is kept or not? |
| 38806 | Will not all the redeemed assassins remember the faces of the dead? |
| 38806 | Will not all the redeemed rascals remember their rascality? |
| 38806 | Will the Archdeacon be kind enough to tell how the spirit can be approached passing by the reason, the understanding, the judgment and the intellect? |
| 38806 | Will the Christians of America admit this? |
| 38806 | Will the angels in heaven, the redeemed of earth, lose their memory? |
| 38806 | Will the lost be the only ones who will know that the right thing has been done, and will they alone appreciate the"ethical elements of religion"? |
| 38806 | Will the pulpits of the United States adopt the arguments of this"policeman"? |
| 38806 | Will the reverend gentleman tell us, and without circumlocution, whether the acceptance of Christianity is necessary to the salvation of anybody? |
| 38806 | Will they repeat the words that you have quoted:"Mercy and judgment are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other"? |
| 38806 | Will this ever come to pass? |
| 38806 | Will you be kind enough to tell me your opinion of the apostles in the light of this story? |
| 38806 | Will you have the kindness to explain what it is to act contrary to evidence, or contrary to common sense? |
| 38806 | Will you read a portion of the Presbyterian Confession of Faith? |
| 38806 | Will you read this? |
| 38806 | Will you tell me why God failed to give his Bible to the whole world? |
| 38806 | With great propriety it may be asked: In the keeping of which church is this"heavenly treasure"? |
| 38806 | Within their jurisdiction are life, liberty and property safer than anywhere else? |
| 38806 | Without desiring to hurt the feeling? |
| 38806 | Would Elizabeth have had no leaning towards finding Mary Stuart implicated in a conspiracy? |
| 38806 | Would a good father allow some of his children to kill others of his children to please him? |
| 38806 | Would a loving God, with fierce hail from heaven, bruise and kill the innocent cattle for the crimes of their owners? |
| 38806 | Would an infinitely loving God hold his ignorant children in derision? |
| 38806 | Would he lead them with gentle hands toward the light, or lie in wait for them like a wild beast? |
| 38806 | Would he pity, or mock? |
| 38806 | Would he torment, torture and destroy them for the sins of men? |
| 38806 | Would it be possible for him to have an idea? |
| 38806 | Would it not be far better to fill the young man''s mind with facts so that he may know exactly the physical consequences of such acts? |
| 38806 | Would it not be much easier to prove that science is of divine origin? |
| 38806 | Would it not have been better if man, before the poor woman was blinded, had put asunder whom God had joined together? |
| 38806 | Would it not have been far better had he said:"I come not to bring a sword, but peace"? |
| 38806 | Would not that be a second violation instead of a vindication? |
| 38806 | Would not this have saved countless cruelties and countless lives? |
| 38806 | Would not your argument, Mr. Black, have been just as good in the mouth of a Brahmin then, as it is in yours now? |
| 38806 | Would they have dared to crucify a man who had the power to clothe the dead with life? |
| 38806 | Would you not rather trust a wise and honest man with the lightning? |
| 38806 | Would you rob her of that Unseen Friend-- the only Friend she had on earth or in heaven? |
| 38806 | Would you say that he was an infinitely wise mechanic? |
| 38806 | Would you still read from your Confession of Faith, or from your Catechism-- this? |
| 38806 | Would you tell her that to think of a world without poverty, without tears, without pain, is"a child''s picture"? |
| 38806 | Would you then put this serpent in her breast? |
| 38806 | Yet so it has come to pass; and how? |
| 38806 | You ask me whether I would"rob this poor woman of such a friend?" |
| 38806 | You ask me, What is Christianity? |
| 38806 | You ask:"Why then should the father make demands of love, obedience, and sacrifice from his young child?" |
| 38806 | You further say, that your simple object was to answer the question"What is Christianity?" |
| 38806 | You have asked me what is to become of one who seduces and betrays, of the criminal with the blood of his victim upon his hands? |
| 38806 | You may ask, And what of all this? |
| 38806 | You seem to ask me whether divorce from the bond of marriage can ever be allowed? |
| 38806 | and can two such issues be equally attractive to a moral agent? |
| 38806 | and if he desire, will he not incline to the side that he desires to find true? |
| 38806 | and, if so, why did it not appear in the first four thousand years? |
| 38806 | any virtue in this? |
| 38806 | deeper than Hell; what canst thou know?" |
| 38806 | impress the intelligence of the Great Republic? |
| 38806 | is the revealed law of purity, generosity, perfection, divine, or only the poetry of imagination? |
| 38806 | of Jephthah? |
| 38806 | or will those words be spoken by the redeemed as they joyously contemplate the writhings of the lost? |
| 38806 | or, if she leaves him to preserve her life, must she remain his wife for his sake? |
| 38806 | seize it, and is it now in the keeping of the Church of England? |
| 38806 | that he sees no choice between the murder of helpless age, of weeping women and of sleeping babes, and the defence of liberty and nationality? |
| 38806 | that such a doctrine should exorcise the fullness of human pride and lust? |
| 38806 | this the arch that supports the dome of civilization? |
| 38806 | this the corner- stone of society? |
| 38806 | whether this is the tone in which controversy ought to be carried on? |
| 38810 | Anything else? |
| 38810 | Did you do anything on account of it? |
| 38810 | Did you ever claim anything from Dorsey? |
| 38810 | Did you ever say anything to Dorsey about it? |
| 38810 | Did you ever say anything to anybody that you had any claim against Dorsey? |
| 38810 | Did you ever write to him? |
| 38810 | Did you know the contents? |
| 38810 | Did you know what it meant? |
| 38810 | Did you make the entries at the time they purport to have been made? |
| 38810 | Did you not tell Bosler that you wrote it? |
| 38810 | Did you swear to it? |
| 38810 | Did you tell Hesing that Hoyt was innocent? |
| 38810 | Did you tell Mr. Hesing that Munn was not in it? |
| 38810 | Did you tell him that Munn never was in it-- that Munn was innocent? |
| 38810 | Do n''t you know, as a matter of fact, that he was here on the 3d of April, 1878? |
| 38810 | Do you believe I care anything about that? 38810 How did you come to see it, John?" |
| 38810 | How is your mother? |
| 38810 | How many books did you have? 38810 Is that the way you treat a friend? |
| 38810 | Mr. Hesing, did Mr. Rehm tell you that Hoyt was innocent? |
| 38810 | Mr. Rehm, did you ever give Mr. Burroughs notice that Mr. Munn was coming in order that he might put his house in order? |
| 38810 | Very well,said he,"what will you give me?" |
| 38810 | Well, but,says Rerdell,"do n''t you know the trial is going on now? |
| 38810 | Well, how is your grandmother? |
| 38810 | Well,Jackson answered,"I asked Hopkins--""Who else?" |
| 38810 | Well,he said,"do you know the widow Thompson?" |
| 38810 | Well,says Rerdell,"my good God, ai n''t there any way I can get out of this?" |
| 38810 | What else do you want? |
| 38810 | What for? |
| 38810 | What has that to do with this divorce case? |
| 38810 | What more can you let us have? |
| 38810 | When was it filed? |
| 38810 | Why did n''t they call Bosler? |
| 38810 | Why did n''t you call so- and- so? |
| 38810 | Why did they not when they were to carry additional trips give a new bond? |
| 38810 | Why? |
| 38810 | Why? |
| 38810 | Yes,he says;"but, my God, suppose the other dogs should hear of it?" |
| 38810 | ; they would have had all those affidavits showing substantially the same per cent., would n''t they? |
| 38810 | A conspiracy to do what? |
| 38810 | A failing contractor on the hundredth route? |
| 38810 | A fraudulent order of August, 1879. Who made it? |
| 38810 | About how long would it take you to break me up? |
| 38810 | According to the testimony of Roelle those people were at dinner, and where, gentlemen, is the philosophy of that lie which they have told? |
| 38810 | After he got the originals copied why did he not burn up the originals so that nobody could ever find them in his possession? |
| 38810 | After he got these routes what did he do? |
| 38810 | Again I ask why would not the Government give him his price? |
| 38810 | Again I ask you, gentlemen, why would Mr. Dorsey give such a paper to Rerdell? |
| 38810 | Ah, but they say, do n''t you remember those Clendenning bonds? |
| 38810 | All the horses engaged in the business; those that are drawing corn for the others, as well as the rest, will you not? |
| 38810 | Am I criminal if I go on and perform the contract as I agreed and draw the money? |
| 38810 | And I said we would not produce them? |
| 38810 | And I suppose when you retire, the first question for you to decide will be: Was there a conspiracy? |
| 38810 | And do n''t you remember that he went into a kind of homily on neighborhood gossip, that hardly anybody escaped? |
| 38810 | And do you know some of the meanest things in this world have been done in the name of reform? |
| 38810 | And do you not recollect the delight, the abandon with which Mr. Bliss emphasized the word house, when he said that they met at Dorsey''s house? |
| 38810 | And has it come to, this? |
| 38810 | And how do I know? |
| 38810 | And how do they support this will that has in it the internal evidence that it was written by James R. Eddy? |
| 38810 | And if Donnelly had the books, how did Rerdell write the information before he went to Donnelly? |
| 38810 | And if he did discontinue it, was he under any obligation to allow a month''s extra pay? |
| 38810 | And now are you going to be such a perfect devil as to have me arrested for perjury for making that same affidavit?" |
| 38810 | And now we come to the word"liberal,"is that a hard word to define? |
| 38810 | And that they found the office open? |
| 38810 | And then how does it happen that Rerdell kept it? |
| 38810 | And then they come to Thomas J. Brady, and they tell you that that man is to be convicted upon the testimony of whom? |
| 38810 | And was he afraid also that you would believe it? |
| 38810 | And what did he say when he got through with it? |
| 38810 | And what did he want to be believed for? |
| 38810 | And what else does he swear to? |
| 38810 | And what else? |
| 38810 | And what else? |
| 38810 | And what have you done with the other three wills that you have in this case? |
| 38810 | And what is that? |
| 38810 | And what is that? |
| 38810 | And what is that? |
| 38810 | And what is the next charge? |
| 38810 | And what kind of words are misspelled? |
| 38810 | And what more? |
| 38810 | And what right has a man who is carrying the mail to interfere with the policy of the Post- Office Department? |
| 38810 | And what was the object of the letter? |
| 38810 | And what were the means at his command? |
| 38810 | And who else? |
| 38810 | And why did he make that remark to you, gentlemen? |
| 38810 | And why do I say it? |
| 38810 | And why not? |
| 38810 | And why was Munn going to make trouble? |
| 38810 | And why? |
| 38810 | And why? |
| 38810 | And why? |
| 38810 | And why? |
| 38810 | And why? |
| 38810 | And why? |
| 38810 | And why? |
| 38810 | And why? |
| 38810 | And will you say that Job Davis did not know the word administrators? |
| 38810 | And will you say the ordinary word give was spelled by this educated young man"guive"? |
| 38810 | And you wrote John Smith first, and I changed it to Sam Jones, do n''t you recollect, as otherwise there would be two Smiths? |
| 38810 | Any need of publishing his will? |
| 38810 | Any need of reading any more than the attesting clause to the attesting witnesses? |
| 38810 | Any need to divulge a line? |
| 38810 | Are there not two petitions there altered? |
| 38810 | As I say, how does it happen to be in the possession of Rerdell? |
| 38810 | At the time you burned your books had you any knowledge that they contained any evidence of fraud against the Government? |
| 38810 | At the time? |
| 38810 | Because of patriotism? |
| 38810 | Because the moment he got there he could be asked, Where did you find the will? |
| 38810 | Bosler?" |
| 38810 | But do you not see it made no difference? |
| 38810 | But is it fair, gentlemen, for a prosecuting officer to state to you that he supposed all the routes of Dorsey were expedited? |
| 38810 | But suppose it turns out that the substitution did not take an extra dollar from the United States? |
| 38810 | But what did we offer? |
| 38810 | But what has that to do with us? |
| 38810 | But what more? |
| 38810 | But why did they not tell the facts? |
| 38810 | But, gentlemen, is there enough even to bind him? |
| 38810 | By what he does for whom? |
| 38810 | By whom? |
| 38810 | By whom? |
| 38810 | Can I go back to Dorsey? |
| 38810 | Can you believe that? |
| 38810 | Can you believe this man who has been contradicted by every one brought upon the stand? |
| 38810 | Can you believe this man? |
| 38810 | Can you explain that on any other hypothesis? |
| 38810 | Can you take his word after he has sworn as he has? |
| 38810 | Could he by any possibility have alluded to the photograph when he said:"Did I say that Davis''s name was on it when I signed it?" |
| 38810 | Could you locate it if you had a good map? |
| 38810 | Could you write a fairer letter than that, to save your life? |
| 38810 | Could you write a milder letter than that, to save your life, and refer to the subject? |
| 38810 | Deny me the right to attend to my own affairs? |
| 38810 | Did Boone take those bonds up to Dorsey and show them to him? |
| 38810 | Did Dorsey at Saint Louis treat it as his bantling? |
| 38810 | Did Dorsey make any such statement? |
| 38810 | Did Dorsey write a letter to Bosler in which he admitted his guilt? |
| 38810 | Did I say that, sir? |
| 38810 | Did Job Davis rise from the dead and write another will? |
| 38810 | Did Job Davis write the will? |
| 38810 | Did Job Davis write this will? |
| 38810 | Did Mr. Bliss at that time suppose that Mr. Dorsey was chairman of that committee? |
| 38810 | Did Mr. Dorsey do anything about gathering information? |
| 38810 | Did Mr. Dorsey, gentlemen, in your presence, swear that he had brought Rerdell up? |
| 38810 | Did any man wearing the human form ever propose a more corrupt and infamous bargain? |
| 38810 | Did he act like somebody trying to cover up a fraud? |
| 38810 | Did he ask any questions? |
| 38810 | Did he confess that he was guilty of the conspiracy set forth in this indictment? |
| 38810 | Did he ever sign the photograph? |
| 38810 | Did he give any advice? |
| 38810 | Did he have it when he made his affidavit in July, 1882? |
| 38810 | Did he have it when he made his affidavit in November? |
| 38810 | Did he have it when he went to MacVeagh? |
| 38810 | Did he have it when he went to Mr. Woodward in September? |
| 38810 | Did he have it when he went to Woodward? |
| 38810 | Did he have it when he went to the Postmaster- General? |
| 38810 | Did he interfere with Mr. Boone in the business? |
| 38810 | Did he know at that time that Rerdell had given his papers over to Mr. Woodward? |
| 38810 | Did he know at that time that he had offered to challenge the friends of the defendants from the panel? |
| 38810 | Did he know it was not true when he put it in the indictment? |
| 38810 | Did he know that they were in the handwriting of Mr. Rerdell? |
| 38810 | Did he mean for himself? |
| 38810 | Did he not also swear that Vaile and Miner had not the interest of one cent in any route that went to Stephen W. Dorsey? |
| 38810 | Did he not in every one of those transactions act like a reasonable, sensible, good man? |
| 38810 | Did he pay too much for it? |
| 38810 | Did he read them? |
| 38810 | Did he say to him,"It is because we have got a conspiracy? |
| 38810 | Did he tell the truth? |
| 38810 | Did he think of saving Dorsey by going and getting these books? |
| 38810 | Did he want his clerk to help him keep the secret, knowing that if the secret got wings it would render him infamous? |
| 38810 | Did he want them? |
| 38810 | Did he want to attend to these contracts? |
| 38810 | Did he want to engage in carrying the mail of the United States? |
| 38810 | Did he want to enter into some partnership by which the Government was to be fleeced? |
| 38810 | Did he want to gratify his spite because he had made a bargain with them by which they were to realize hundreds of thousands of dollars? |
| 38810 | Did he want to stay here? |
| 38810 | Did he, in your presence, swear that he had done anything of the kind? |
| 38810 | Did he, in your presence, swear that he had led him to infamy? |
| 38810 | Did it take a conspiracy to leave them off? |
| 38810 | Did it? |
| 38810 | Did n''t he know that the bond was given to somebody else? |
| 38810 | Did not I offer in this court to prove what was done with every solitary route we had? |
| 38810 | Did not Mr. Ker know whether the routes had been expedited or not? |
| 38810 | Did the prosecution know that Rerdell had made the two affidavits? |
| 38810 | Did they contain the accounts of the subcontractors? |
| 38810 | Did they expect to win this case on that indictment? |
| 38810 | Did they indorse false petitions for the purpose of putting money in the pockets of these defendants? |
| 38810 | Did they look out for productiveness? |
| 38810 | Did we make one? |
| 38810 | Did you ever hear of a grocery man endeavoring to cry down that which he wished you to buy? |
| 38810 | Did you ever hear of a merchant crying down the quality of the cloth he wished to sell? |
| 38810 | Did you ever know as much humanity in a conspiracy as that? |
| 38810 | Did you ever know of a vender crying down his own wares? |
| 38810 | Did you ever know of anybody on earth doing business at a smaller per cent, and paying for the trouble? |
| 38810 | Did you ever know such a streak of benevolence to strike anybody? |
| 38810 | Did you ever pay Jacob Rehm any money? |
| 38810 | Did you ever sign that?" |
| 38810 | Did you have any conversation with him in regard to this route, with regard to the needs of the country for mail service; and, if so, what was it? |
| 38810 | Did you have two? |
| 38810 | Did you not say that the decision there was that the conspiracy might be inferred from the combination to do the act? |
| 38810 | Did you say it thinking that Munn did hear it?" |
| 38810 | Do n''t you believe that they talked with somebody? |
| 38810 | Do n''t you know that the mail is the pioneer of civilization? |
| 38810 | Do n''t you recollect the two letters you asked Dorsey so much about? |
| 38810 | Do n''t you remember that testimony? |
| 38810 | Do n''t you see how everything fits together when you get at the facts? |
| 38810 | Do n''t you see? |
| 38810 | Do you believe it? |
| 38810 | Do you believe it? |
| 38810 | Do you believe it? |
| 38810 | Do you believe that Brady would make a confident of him? |
| 38810 | Do you believe that Brady would substantially admit in his presence that he had been bribed by Dorsey? |
| 38810 | Do you believe that Job Davis spelled sheet-- a sheet of paper--"sheat"? |
| 38810 | Do you believe that he ever had any such conversation? |
| 38810 | Do you believe that he knows as much about the mail business as Colonel Bliss? |
| 38810 | Do you believe that he knows as much about the wants of the great Northwest as the gentlemen who are prosecuting this case? |
| 38810 | Do you believe that members of Congress of the Lower House and of the Senate were their agents and tools? |
| 38810 | Do you believe that these defendants had at their beck and call the representatives of the entire great Northwest? |
| 38810 | Do you believe that? |
| 38810 | Do you believe that? |
| 38810 | Do you believe they were dishonest men, and do you believe they asked for what they did not want? |
| 38810 | Do you depend on just that thirty? |
| 38810 | Do you know anything about any crookedness?" |
| 38810 | Do you know her boy? |
| 38810 | Do you not know that there ought to be a mail wherever the flag floats? |
| 38810 | Do you not know, and do I not know, that the mail is the substantial benefit we get from the General Government? |
| 38810 | Do you not remember what I told you? |
| 38810 | Do you not see, gentlemen, it is utterly impossible to believe that? |
| 38810 | Do you not think that it is better to get a man out of the Cabinet than to put another into the penitentiary? |
| 38810 | Do you recollect the day of the month? |
| 38810 | Do you recollect the number of the house? |
| 38810 | Do you say now that the other routes of his, to the number you talked of, were expedited? |
| 38810 | Do you see the red in that"Job"? |
| 38810 | Do you see what a big idea that is? |
| 38810 | Do you see? |
| 38810 | Do you see? |
| 38810 | Do you suppose that pays? |
| 38810 | Do you tell me that under such circumstances, if Stephen W. Dorsey had conceived this thing, he would have gone off and left it? |
| 38810 | Do you think I will allow any man willfully, maliciously, and with malice aforethought, to swear that I am an innocent man? |
| 38810 | Do you think I would stand a lie of that kind, sir? |
| 38810 | Do you think he is the kind of man who would let such a chance slip? |
| 38810 | Do you think he would have done that if the will had not been signed, if it were worth only waste paper? |
| 38810 | Do you think that fellow would vote to send a stupid man to Congress who could not get another mail? |
| 38810 | Do you think that man would not sign a petition for another mail? |
| 38810 | Do you want any better testimony than that, that Dorsey did refuse to advance any more money? |
| 38810 | Do you want to be convicted on that kind of testimony? |
| 38810 | Do you want to be locked up on that kind of testimony? |
| 38810 | Do you want to be rendered infamous during your life upon the testimony of such men as Golsen and Conklin and Rehm? |
| 38810 | Do you want to be separated from your wife or your child on that kind of evidence? |
| 38810 | Do you want to go to the penitentiary with that kind of witnesses against you? |
| 38810 | Do you? |
| 38810 | Do you? |
| 38810 | Do you? |
| 38810 | Does it accord with our experience? |
| 38810 | Does it accord with what we know? |
| 38810 | Does it show that there was a conspiracy if Dorsey signed his name after Peck had sold out his interest in the routes? |
| 38810 | Does it show that they had any conspiracy before that time? |
| 38810 | Does not that very fact, that blanks were left, show that they were to take the judgment of the men who were to do the swearing? |
| 38810 | Does that show that they were then in a conspiracy? |
| 38810 | Does that show they were co- conspirators? |
| 38810 | Donnelly?" |
| 38810 | Dorsey had him already locked up there, do n''t you see? |
| 38810 | Dorsey says,"Why? |
| 38810 | Even Mr. Bliss, in his speech, asked,"Why did n''t they call Bosler?" |
| 38810 | February 11, 1874, ninety- six cents, which made twenty- six cents; and so it went on in that way, until what? |
| 38810 | For the sake of saving Dorsey? |
| 38810 | For what purpose? |
| 38810 | For what? |
| 38810 | Fraudulently filing what? |
| 38810 | From these figures, gentlemen, you will see it, and how high did it go? |
| 38810 | From whom did they keep it secret? |
| 38810 | Gentlemen, is it wonderful that all the people of the West want mails? |
| 38810 | Gentlemen, is that your view of human nature, that a man can not become the friend of another suddenly? |
| 38810 | Gentlemen, is there any depth of depravity below that? |
| 38810 | Gentlemen, was it natural for S. W. Dorsey to get the money back that he had advanced, or some security for it? |
| 38810 | Had it a revoking clause in it? |
| 38810 | Had it been hatched at that time? |
| 38810 | Had the egg of this crime then been laid? |
| 38810 | Has Jacob Rehm told against this defendant a true story? |
| 38810 | Has a man got to be so stupid that he will not take advantage of a perfectly plain thing in order to escape the charge of conspiracy? |
| 38810 | Has all the testimony upon that point-- has the confession of Rerdell to MacVeagh and James shrunk to this little measure-- that it is"only a straw"? |
| 38810 | Has any conspiracy been established beyond a reasonable doubt? |
| 38810 | Has any evidence been introduced to show that the name of an insolvent man was put upon any bond as security? |
| 38810 | Has any one of you ever had in his mind which side of the street that was on? |
| 38810 | Has anybody shown that that was Job Davis''s habit? |
| 38810 | Has it shrunk to this little measure? |
| 38810 | Has not each one of you in his mind a reason why they did not bring the ones that they talked with? |
| 38810 | Has not the humblest man in the United States a right to send a petition to Congress? |
| 38810 | Has not the smallest man-- I will go further-- has not the meanest man the right to petition Congress? |
| 38810 | Has the conspiracy as laid been proved by the evidence? |
| 38810 | Has there any evidence been introduced to show that there was a bad bond? |
| 38810 | Have I not the right on the next day to charge him twelve thousand dollars for it? |
| 38810 | Have I not the right to get it carried as cheaply as I can? |
| 38810 | Have the prosecution introduced one particle of testimony to show that there was? |
| 38810 | Have they impeached Mr. Keith? |
| 38810 | Have we not the right, gentlemen, to petition? |
| 38810 | He came back here and settled up and sold out his interest for how much? |
| 38810 | He found that he was about to fail with the Government, and then the important question to him was: Has Dorsey found this out? |
| 38810 | He is asked, Were you a member of the Post- Office Committee in 1877? |
| 38810 | He just said,"How much is it?" |
| 38810 | He knew that he was suspected, did n''t he? |
| 38810 | He not only wants you to believe it, gentlemen, but he asks twelve men-- you-- to swear that he came by it honestly, does n''t he? |
| 38810 | He put his hand in his pocket and said,"Do you see those letters to that woman?" |
| 38810 | He said:"But what are the payments?" |
| 38810 | He then says,"Well, how shall we get out of this?" |
| 38810 | He then was engaged in the sale of protection, was he not? |
| 38810 | He wants you to believe that he came by it honestly, does n''t he? |
| 38810 | He was pounding him away in the road with all his might, and a man came along and said to him,"What are you pounding that woodchuck for?" |
| 38810 | He would not have discovered it if it had not been there, would he? |
| 38810 | He, at that time, as appears from the evidence, was the attorney of Roots& Kerens; and who were they? |
| 38810 | How are we to establish the fact that it was extravagance? |
| 38810 | How are you going to prove that too much was paid for carrying the mail upon these routes? |
| 38810 | How are you to find that this was extravagance unless you know what it could have been done for? |
| 38810 | How came he to use the word"further"? |
| 38810 | How can a man try not to remember? |
| 38810 | How can the court determine that without passing upon the evidence in the case? |
| 38810 | How comes that in his indictment? |
| 38810 | How could he disguise his spelling? |
| 38810 | How could such a question be raised, gentlemen? |
| 38810 | How did I know what Senator you meant? |
| 38810 | How did he act? |
| 38810 | How did he come to destroy them? |
| 38810 | How did he come to do that? |
| 38810 | How did he come to keep it all this time? |
| 38810 | How did he come to spell the name Reddell? |
| 38810 | How did he ever get those affidavits? |
| 38810 | How did he find that out? |
| 38810 | How did he know any more about the service than Dorsey? |
| 38810 | How did he turn it over? |
| 38810 | How did that arch- conspirator, as they claim him to be, happen to write that letter to Clendenning? |
| 38810 | How did these men come to bid so cheaply on some of these routes? |
| 38810 | How did they appear to be the books of a firm? |
| 38810 | How did they conspire? |
| 38810 | How did they find these means, gentlemen? |
| 38810 | How do you fix that? |
| 38810 | How do you know that a thing is extravagant unless you know the price of it? |
| 38810 | How do you know? |
| 38810 | How do you prove it is extravagance? |
| 38810 | How does he know? |
| 38810 | How does he say it got to his house? |
| 38810 | How does it happen that Mrs. Rerdell, when she was put on the stand, never mentioned that red book? |
| 38810 | How does it happen that Rerdell wrote out the information for Donnelly, then got Donnelly to certify it, because Torrey had asked it? |
| 38810 | How does it happen that Woodward was not sworn about it? |
| 38810 | How does it happen that his name never figures in any division? |
| 38810 | How does that work with you? |
| 38810 | How else did Mr. Bliss find this out? |
| 38810 | How fast? |
| 38810 | How is a conspiracy proved? |
| 38810 | How is it possible for a bid to be fraudulent? |
| 38810 | How long could the money be drawn for that service in that country? |
| 38810 | How long would a fraud like that last and live? |
| 38810 | How long, in your judgment, would it be before the department would find out that there was no such post- office, no postmaster, and no mail? |
| 38810 | How many Salt Creekers do you think it would take to convince you that he was around spelling sheet"sheat"? |
| 38810 | How many cases of that occur in this will? |
| 38810 | How many men will it take? |
| 38810 | How many times? |
| 38810 | How much did he agree to give you for it? |
| 38810 | How much is the loss in this District per annum? |
| 38810 | How much money did he get on all these routes? |
| 38810 | How much money did you give Jacob Rehm? |
| 38810 | How much money did your house give Rehm? |
| 38810 | How much of that vast sum did he relieve the contractors from upon the evidence? |
| 38810 | How much? |
| 38810 | How much? |
| 38810 | How often? |
| 38810 | How sustained? |
| 38810 | How was he to palm that off? |
| 38810 | How were the affidavits made for his benefit? |
| 38810 | How were the orders made for his benefit? |
| 38810 | How were the petitions filed for his benefit? |
| 38810 | How would he open an account with Mitchell without anything to be charged against him or to be credited? |
| 38810 | How would that help him consummate a fraud? |
| 38810 | How would the attorneys for the Government in this case like to have their fees settled upon that basis? |
| 38810 | How would you correct one affidavit in blank by another affidavit in blank? |
| 38810 | How would you feel, to find a verdict here that this is a good will, and afterwards have it turn out to be what it is-- an impudent, ignorant forgery? |
| 38810 | How would you go to work to defraud the Government by filing a subcontract? |
| 38810 | How? |
| 38810 | How? |
| 38810 | How? |
| 38810 | I ask the gentlemen to tell us what men were in danger of making this trouble? |
| 38810 | I ask you, Mr. Foreman, and I ask each of you, Was there a conspiracy at that time? |
| 38810 | I ask you, also, if the testimony of Stephen W. Dorsey with regard to that transaction is not absolutely consistent with itself? |
| 38810 | I ask you, as sensible, reasonable men, if he would have been offered a quarter interest under those circumstances? |
| 38810 | I ask you, gentlemen, what evidence is there in this case that Mr. Brady ever conspired with any of these defendants? |
| 38810 | I ask you; I ask your common sense; I appeal to your brains: Is it probable that he would do all that absolutely for nothing? |
| 38810 | I asked Mr. Rerdell,"When you got that letter did you understand it?" |
| 38810 | I entered into this conspiracy because you urged me to, and now after we have got the routes, you are going to abandon it"? |
| 38810 | I said,"Did n''t you take these books over to New York in a carpet- sack?" |
| 38810 | I said,"My little man, what are you going to do when you grow up?" |
| 38810 | I say is it an excuse to give to his weeping wife? |
| 38810 | I say why did you not bring in James W. Bosler and prove our guilt? |
| 38810 | I then handed him a little paper, and asked him,"Do you know anything about that? |
| 38810 | I want to ask you if there is a thing in all the evidence not consistent with innocence? |
| 38810 | I wish to submit some authorities to the Court upon this question: Must the exact scheme be proved? |
| 38810 | If I am an honest man I suppose I will jump the contract, wo n''t I? |
| 38810 | If I am shown a paper and asked,"Is that Mr. Smith''s handwriting?" |
| 38810 | If Miner had known that that petition was there that he had made, would he have allowed it to stay there? |
| 38810 | If Mr. Munn had been why did n''t he say that Munn was? |
| 38810 | If Rerdell expected to palm off the copies as the originals, why did he keep the originals? |
| 38810 | If Rerdell had come to Donnelly to find what the account was, how did it happen to be in Rerdell''s handwriting before it got to Donnelly? |
| 38810 | If Rerdell had the books, why did he want to go to Donnelly for information? |
| 38810 | If a man tells the truth without being sworn, is that evidence that he is a dishonest man? |
| 38810 | If corroboration was so necessary why were not their witnesses corroborated? |
| 38810 | If he was the originator of the conspiracy would he have taken thirty per cent, burdened with a debt of twenty thousand dollars? |
| 38810 | If he was, why did they have to get somebody close to Brady? |
| 38810 | If he went to Donnelly to get the facts, how did Rerdell happen to write this before it got to Donnelly? |
| 38810 | If it was for the purpose of stopping the men from making trouble, why not pay it to the men they wished to stop? |
| 38810 | If it was to be a fraud, why put the post- office off the route? |
| 38810 | If that was a perfectly honest will and came to him through perfectly pure channels, would he not want you to know it? |
| 38810 | If the parties at that time had been conscious of guilt, why were any suspicious papers left on file? |
| 38810 | If there had been any fraud about it, would they not have withdrawn the paper? |
| 38810 | If there was a conspiracy of such a magnitude, why should Boone go out of it? |
| 38810 | If they all agreed on the number of horses and men it would take, and about what it would cost, they would bid about alike, would n''t they? |
| 38810 | If they had such a conspiracy what did they want of Mr. Moore? |
| 38810 | If they had them all at one time together, and if he and Dorsey had talked about them, why were they not filed at the same time? |
| 38810 | If this was done to prevent the men working at the rectifying- house from making trouble, why not pay the men? |
| 38810 | If you say there is evidence, when was the division made? |
| 38810 | If you say yes, then the next question for you to decide is, who conspired? |
| 38810 | In 1878? |
| 38810 | In March was there a conspiracy? |
| 38810 | In a few days he says he started for New York, and the question arises, why did Rerdell go to New York at all? |
| 38810 | In every crime in the world you have got to prove the four W''s-- Who, When, What, Where? |
| 38810 | In reference to what particular point? |
| 38810 | In the first place, what is a conspiracy? |
| 38810 | Instead of robbing the Government the Government has robbed us; and they say,"Why did you not bring Bosler?" |
| 38810 | Is a man to be regarded as a conspirator because some outsider thinks he got too good a bargain? |
| 38810 | Is circumstantial evidence sufficient? |
| 38810 | Is corruption all we are distinguished for? |
| 38810 | Is he candid now? |
| 38810 | Is it a crime to make a good bargain with the Government? |
| 38810 | Is it a crime to make money? |
| 38810 | Is it a crime? |
| 38810 | Is it a genuine will? |
| 38810 | Is it an excuse to give to his child:"I sent your father to the penitentiary upon the evidence of Jacob Rehm"? |
| 38810 | Is it an excuse to give to his pallid, invalid wife? |
| 38810 | Is it any evidence of fraud? |
| 38810 | Is it because we are a nation of rascals that the word America sheds light in every hut and in every tenement in Europe? |
| 38810 | Is it because we are distinguished for corruption that that one word, America, is the dawn of a career to every poor man in the Old World? |
| 38810 | Is it because we have such a reputation for corruption that a million people from foreign lands sought homes under our flag last year? |
| 38810 | Is it genuine? |
| 38810 | Is it honest? |
| 38810 | Is it my duty under such circumstances to go and notify the Government that I have cheated it, and that I would like to have it put the contract down? |
| 38810 | Is it natural, is it probable, is it reasonable? |
| 38810 | Is it natural? |
| 38810 | Is it natural? |
| 38810 | Is it not absurd to suppose any such thing? |
| 38810 | Is it not perfectly wonderful that this memorandum should be in imitation of Rerdell''s writing, when it was written by Dorsey? |
| 38810 | Is it not wonderful that he felt called upon at that time to tell several falsehoods? |
| 38810 | Is it not wonderful that such a conspiracy should have existed in all the Western States at one time? |
| 38810 | Is it possible he would turn himself into a scavenger cart into which should be thrown all the moral offal of the city of Chicago for nothing? |
| 38810 | Is it possible that any politician was envious of his place and power? |
| 38810 | Is it possible that any politician was envious of the influence he had with President Garfield? |
| 38810 | Is it possible that he had interfered with the career of some piece of mediocrity? |
| 38810 | Is it possible that he would hire and bribe other men to commit these crimes for nothing? |
| 38810 | Is it possible that he would tell a lie, gentlemen? |
| 38810 | Is it possible that it is because he was the chief man politically? |
| 38810 | Is it possible that the pioneer can get beyond the Government? |
| 38810 | Is it possible that this Government can not afford to carry the mail? |
| 38810 | Is it possible that those notes were about the route- book? |
| 38810 | Is it possible the prosecution will say that he lied on the 13th of July, 1882, but in 1883, having met with a change of heart, he told the truth? |
| 38810 | Is it possible, I say, that a man would make himself the sewer of all the official rot in this city, in which was deposited the excrement of frauds? |
| 38810 | Is it possible, gentlemen, that there is any necessity for resorting to such statements? |
| 38810 | Is it possible, then, that Mr. Bliss was afraid that Mr. Dorsey would swear that he took it West? |
| 38810 | Is it possible? |
| 38810 | Is it possible? |
| 38810 | Is it probable a man would commit all these crimes for nothing? |
| 38810 | Is it probable he would lay himself liable to the penitentiary every hour in the day for two years for nothing? |
| 38810 | Is it productive? |
| 38810 | Is it reasonable for him to take such care of it as he does of his own? |
| 38810 | Is it worth anything? |
| 38810 | Is n''t it altogether more natural, more reasonable, more probable, to say that a bad speller misspelled the words than that a good speller did? |
| 38810 | Is n''t it wonderful beyond the circumference of belief, that a good speller and bad speller happened to misspell the same words? |
| 38810 | Is not that the date of the order in the case? |
| 38810 | Is not that the date of the order? |
| 38810 | Is not that true? |
| 38810 | Is that a crime? |
| 38810 | Is that a fraud? |
| 38810 | Is that a fraud? |
| 38810 | Is that all born of the fancy of this gentleman? |
| 38810 | Is that consistent with innocence? |
| 38810 | Is that corroboration? |
| 38810 | Is that his idea of Christianity? |
| 38810 | Is that not exactly what he swore to on this stand? |
| 38810 | Is that the result of being distinguished for corruption? |
| 38810 | Is that the result of corruption, or is it the result of labor, of integrity and of virtue? |
| 38810 | Is that the way people talk that conspire together? |
| 38810 | Is that what you would call a voucher? |
| 38810 | Is the amount disproportionate to his estate? |
| 38810 | Is the overt act a part of the crime, and must it, be described with the same particularity that you describe the offence? |
| 38810 | Is there any charge in this case relative to them? |
| 38810 | Is there any evidence as to the words we used? |
| 38810 | Is there any evidence in this case that Mr. Brady ever conspired with anybody? |
| 38810 | Is there any evidence in this case that the subcontractors stole any letters on account of not having taken the oath? |
| 38810 | Is there any evidence of it? |
| 38810 | Is there any evidence of it? |
| 38810 | Is there any evidence of it? |
| 38810 | Is there any evidence of that kind? |
| 38810 | Is there any evidence of that letter in this trial? |
| 38810 | Is there any evidence of the conversation between Torrey and Dorsey? |
| 38810 | Is there any evidence of what you say? |
| 38810 | Is there any evidence that any route of Dorsey''s was expedited not mentioned in this indictment? |
| 38810 | Is there any evidence that the signatures of real persons were attached, and the real persons did not live upon the routes? |
| 38810 | Is there any evidence that they were all reported to Congress? |
| 38810 | Is there any fraud now in that route? |
| 38810 | Is there any law against a tinsmith bidding to carry the mails? |
| 38810 | Is there any other man connected with this trial that ever did a more generous, nay, a more loving and lovely thing? |
| 38810 | Is there any proof of that? |
| 38810 | Is there any safety in human society if you will take the testimony of a perjured man? |
| 38810 | Is there any safety in the world if you take the testimony of these men, especially when character avails nothing? |
| 38810 | Is there any such provision in the statute? |
| 38810 | Is there anything criminal in that? |
| 38810 | Is there anything in a point like that? |
| 38810 | Is there anything in the indictment about them? |
| 38810 | Is there anything suspicious up to this time? |
| 38810 | Is there enough to make a respectable suspicion even in the mind of jealousy? |
| 38810 | Is there the slightest evidence that a fraudulent communication was ever sent to the department? |
| 38810 | Is there the slightest evidence that a fraudulent letter was ever written? |
| 38810 | Is there the slightest scintilla of testimony to show that Mr. Vaile came into this business through any improper motive? |
| 38810 | Is this country distinguished only for its corruption throughout Europe? |
| 38810 | Is this will written in that kind of hand? |
| 38810 | It is a little curious he never wrote a letter to James Davis and said,"Where is the will, have you got it?" |
| 38810 | It is an awfully awkward thing to deal with after you? |
| 38810 | It is perfectly clear, is it not? |
| 38810 | It was made on the 15th day of January, 1878. Who made it? |
| 38810 | It was necessary to have a good charge on paper, and why? |
| 38810 | James knew that he had gone over to New York to get those books, and he asked him,"Did you get the books?" |
| 38810 | John W. Dorsey? |
| 38810 | Let me inquire of the counsel for the defence if there are to be any other arguments upon their side? |
| 38810 | May it please your Honor, in this route the only point is, had the Postmaster General the right to discontinue the service? |
| 38810 | Miner? |
| 38810 | More than that, is there any evidence as to who forged any names to any petitions? |
| 38810 | Mr. Bliss says,"Why did he say the books were in New York? |
| 38810 | Mr. Jackson was on the stand, Senator Sanders asked him,"Whoever told you anything against him?" |
| 38810 | Must we treat the Government as though it were imbecile? |
| 38810 | Must you do business with the Government as though you were contracting with an infant or an idiot? |
| 38810 | Must you look at both sides of the contract? |
| 38810 | Neither will they say whether that sum was made up in one check or by adding together a number of checks; and, if so, what number? |
| 38810 | Now the question arises, who opened it? |
| 38810 | Now, I ask you if it is not wonderful that Moore never told Boone that there was a conspiracy on foot? |
| 38810 | Now, I ask you if the other parties were willing to swear to anything that these men would write, why were they made that way? |
| 38810 | Now, I ask you, gentlemen, is there any sense in that story? |
| 38810 | Now, I say, the question is: Who wrote this will? |
| 38810 | Now, I submit to you, gentlemen, what does that mean? |
| 38810 | Now, I will ask you again if he came by that will honestly, fairly, above board, would he not be glad to tell you the story? |
| 38810 | Now, a copy would not show in whose handwriting the press- copy was, would it? |
| 38810 | Now, comes another question: Who wrote this will? |
| 38810 | Now, did Job Davis write this will? |
| 38810 | Now, did it occur to him that he would save Dorsey in that way? |
| 38810 | Now, do you believe such a story-- that he thought that man had the bond? |
| 38810 | Now, do you not see how they moved to that town with the diabolical purpose of swindling this great Government? |
| 38810 | Now, gentlemen, according to this evidence, you have got to determine, as I said in the outset, Was there a conspiracy? |
| 38810 | Now, gentlemen, after the division of these routes what did Stephen W. Dorsey do? |
| 38810 | Now, gentlemen, do you want to know how this fellow got caught? |
| 38810 | Now, gentlemen, the responsibility is upon you, and what is that responsibility? |
| 38810 | Now, gentlemen, why should he inform Burrows that Munn was about to make a visit here? |
| 38810 | Now, if Donnelly wrote that after Rerdell had written, where did Rerdell get the information? |
| 38810 | Now, if you want more mail, what are you to do? |
| 38810 | Now, is it not infinitely surprising that Dorsey should imitate Rerdell without trying and without an object? |
| 38810 | Now, is there the slightest evidence in the statement of the Government as to the frauds in this bidding? |
| 38810 | Now, the next question is what is the law of accomplices, of informers? |
| 38810 | Now, the next question is, was Job Davis a good speller? |
| 38810 | Now, the next question, gentlemen, is what is meant by corroboration? |
| 38810 | Now, the question is, did that second will revoke the first will? |
| 38810 | Now, then, I say, they say to us,"Why do you not bring in James W. Bosler and prove your innocence?" |
| 38810 | Now, then, gentlemen, what more? |
| 38810 | Now, then, how did these names come in there? |
| 38810 | Now, then, how must these overt acts be stated in this indictment? |
| 38810 | Now, then, was this conspiracy entered into on August 7, 1878, when Boone went out? |
| 38810 | Now, then, what more? |
| 38810 | Now, then, you see that that is no badge of fraud, do you not? |
| 38810 | Now, then, you take away the evidence of Mr. Rerdell as to Miner, and what is left? |
| 38810 | Now, there is another little point: Why should Dorsey voluntarily put himself in the power of Rerdell by saying,"I have paid money to Brady"? |
| 38810 | Now, they say, can you impeach Sconce? |
| 38810 | Now, they say,"Why did n''t you put Bosler on?" |
| 38810 | Now, was that will made? |
| 38810 | Now, was there ever a conspiracy published so widely, that one end of the country kept so secret from the other? |
| 38810 | Now, we have got to the division, and the question arises, was there a division? |
| 38810 | Now, what did S. W. Dorsey do? |
| 38810 | Now, what did he have in that letter- book? |
| 38810 | Now, what do they say? |
| 38810 | Now, what does Boone say on page 1584? |
| 38810 | Now, what does Dorsey swear? |
| 38810 | Now, what does Rehm come in to swear? |
| 38810 | Now, what does that mean? |
| 38810 | Now, what else? |
| 38810 | Now, what else? |
| 38810 | Now, what had he to do? |
| 38810 | Now, what is that for? |
| 38810 | Now, what is the history up to this time? |
| 38810 | Now, what is the next great question in this case, and the question that will be argued at some length, probably, by the other side? |
| 38810 | Now, what is the next? |
| 38810 | Now, what is the proportion in both? |
| 38810 | Now, what is the scheme of this indictment? |
| 38810 | Now, what next did he do? |
| 38810 | Now, what paper is that 87 X? |
| 38810 | Now, what was Mr. Dorsey to do in the then state of the public mind? |
| 38810 | Now, what was in that letter- book? |
| 38810 | Now, what was the object in making this statement, unless it was pure forgetfulness? |
| 38810 | Now, what were the papers? |
| 38810 | Now, where is the evidence that he ever thought of this will, that he ever spoke of it? |
| 38810 | Now, where was the whiskey being made that was crooked? |
| 38810 | Now, why did Rerdell say he took the journal and left the ledger? |
| 38810 | Now, why were these dates put in this indictment, gentlemen? |
| 38810 | Now, why? |
| 38810 | Now, why? |
| 38810 | Now, will you permit Vaile to take advantage of his own wrong, and thus enable him to defraud another man out of his money? |
| 38810 | Now, would not that be an intelligent contract? |
| 38810 | Now,''when they came to write this indictment, why did they not tell the truth in it? |
| 38810 | Of what use was Donnelly''s statement after Rerdell had made the calculation? |
| 38810 | Of what use was it to Mr. Dorsey to keep that account? |
| 38810 | Of what use was it to him to put down in a book,"I paid Brady eighteen thousand dollars"? |
| 38810 | Of what? |
| 38810 | Oh, they say, why did n''t they bring Knight in, and prove by him that he then recollected Mr. Keith? |
| 38810 | On any more? |
| 38810 | On page 2462, in answer to the question,"Did you not tell Carpenter that you brought no book from New York?" |
| 38810 | On the principle, I suppose, of an account rendered and no objection made? |
| 38810 | On the same page, in answer to the question,"Did you not tell French that you were trying to entrap James?" |
| 38810 | One of the jurors got up and said that he would like to ask a question; he said,"What was the color of that dog?" |
| 38810 | Or chairman of the subcommittee? |
| 38810 | Or has every mail to treat this Government as though it was in its dotage? |
| 38810 | Or must I go on and be cast away by him and be refused by the Government? |
| 38810 | Ought a man to be sent to the penitentiary because he does not seize a house when there has been a technical violation without any fraud? |
| 38810 | Profitable as these gentlemen appear to think it was, what did he do? |
| 38810 | Q. I ask you in regard to your answer to that, if you did not say you did not? |
| 38810 | Q. Mr. Rehm, did Mr. Abel ever give you any money? |
| 38810 | Q. Mr. Rehm, how much money did the house of Dickenson& c Leach give you? |
| 38810 | Rerdell replies,"What are you going to have me prosecuted for?" |
| 38810 | Rerdell swears that acting upon the hint of General Brady he got a man to do-- what? |
| 38810 | Rerdell?" |
| 38810 | Said I,"Do n''t you know, as a matter of fact, that Dorsey was not here on the 3d of April, 1879?" |
| 38810 | Said I,"What is it?" |
| 38810 | Says Dorsey,"Do n''t you know you swore to a lie? |
| 38810 | Sconce, in giving the history of the affair in Arkansas, was asked if he did n''t say,"Did I say that Davis''name was on it when I signed it?" |
| 38810 | See? |
| 38810 | Should the men that get the public attention in that direction be benefited, or the men who do nothing? |
| 38810 | So, when Brady says to the contractor,"What will you carry the mail at six miles an hour for?" |
| 38810 | Stephen W. Dorsey? |
| 38810 | Suppose I said that the paper was only ten years old and it turned out that it was forty, is that a demonstration in favor of the other side? |
| 38810 | Suppose I say to a man,"What will you take for that horse?" |
| 38810 | Suppose that he was, what of it? |
| 38810 | Suppose the experts had been wrong on both sides, and it had turned out to be iron ink, what would have happened then? |
| 38810 | Suppose you should gain the applause of the whole United States by giving a false verdict; how would the echo of that applause strike your heart? |
| 38810 | Take from this record the testimony of Rerdell, Walsh, and Moore, and what is left? |
| 38810 | That being so, why should not affidavits have been made in blank? |
| 38810 | That he is not only contradicted by all the evidence, but by himself, and how can you corroborate a man who tells no truth? |
| 38810 | That his name never figures in any paper made in regard to this business? |
| 38810 | That is a good reason for our not taking any routes with five trips, is it not? |
| 38810 | That is natural, is n''t it? |
| 38810 | That is not the slightest evidence of fraud, is it? |
| 38810 | That is the question: Have they made out a case according to the scheme of the indictment? |
| 38810 | That is to say, the scheme of this conspiracy? |
| 38810 | That is, they had permission to withdraw it, and in the second affidavit is the interlineation"seven times a week,"is n''t it? |
| 38810 | That looks honest, does n''t it? |
| 38810 | That makes an aggregate of forty- five, does it not? |
| 38810 | That question is this: Why did Dorsey retain Rerdell in his employ after the 20th of June, 1881? |
| 38810 | That was done at that time, and why? |
| 38810 | The Court: Was there ever such a letter? |
| 38810 | The Government said to us,"Why did you not bring James W. Bosler to prove that?" |
| 38810 | The Vice Chancellor: Is it of any significance? |
| 38810 | The book that was copied had the Perkins account, and why? |
| 38810 | The committee would send for him and would ask,"Mr. Donnelly, did you write in those books?" |
| 38810 | The fellow says,"How will you tell?" |
| 38810 | The first question then is: Who wrote the will of 1866? |
| 38810 | The first thing he asked him when he got here was,"Have you done anything further against me?" |
| 38810 | The lawyer asked,"What do you want of a divorce?" |
| 38810 | The moment he repeated that conversation with Torrey, I said,"Where is Torrey?" |
| 38810 | The next is, that whenever he discontinued a route or any part of a route, rather, he gave us a month''s extra pay; you heard that, did you not? |
| 38810 | The next question arises, Can you find writing of Rerdell''s that looks like it? |
| 38810 | The next question that arises, and which of course is at the very threshold of this case, is, did these parties conspire? |
| 38810 | The next question, then, is what is the_ corpus delicti_; that is, in a case of conspiracy? |
| 38810 | The old friend asked the boy,"How is your father?" |
| 38810 | The old man put that question just as these witnesses were going out:"Do you know anything about any fraud? |
| 38810 | The only objection to this order now is what? |
| 38810 | The only question was,"Did Garfield write it?" |
| 38810 | The owner says,"Why?" |
| 38810 | The point is, who wrote"faster time"? |
| 38810 | The question arises, how did that hurt the Government? |
| 38810 | The question arises, upon what subject? |
| 38810 | The question arises, was that a fraud? |
| 38810 | The question is, Has any fact been substantiated in this case that contradicts a statement made in the opening? |
| 38810 | The question is, was that money coming to John M. Peck? |
| 38810 | The question is, whether the conspiracy as actually laid be proved by the evidence?" |
| 38810 | The question now arises, did Mr. Rerdell take this money as charged? |
| 38810 | The question then was what to do with him? |
| 38810 | The second question you have to determine is, When? |
| 38810 | The witnesses that came to the rescue of Sconce; how did they rescue him? |
| 38810 | Then I asked him,"You had a contract with Dorsey, did you?" |
| 38810 | Then if he wanted that information for Torrey, why did he not send it to him? |
| 38810 | Then said Mr. Bliss to him,"That is not Mr. Dorsey''s writing?" |
| 38810 | Then what becomes of the Mississippi? |
| 38810 | Then what did he do? |
| 38810 | Then what did he say? |
| 38810 | Then what happened? |
| 38810 | Then what happened? |
| 38810 | Then what happened? |
| 38810 | Then what is our condition? |
| 38810 | Then what motive do you say they had in doing it? |
| 38810 | Then where does that leave us? |
| 38810 | Then would you say,"That is evidence that we have conspired"? |
| 38810 | Then you come across this contradiction: Why should the name of J. H. Mitchell be there with nothing opposite to it? |
| 38810 | There are two principal and important questions to be decided by you: First, is the will sought to be probated, the will of Andrew J. Davis? |
| 38810 | There were two sets of those copies? |
| 38810 | They could not get much closer than that, could they? |
| 38810 | They got him, and offered what? |
| 38810 | They say they only want what pertains to the mail business, but who is to judge of that? |
| 38810 | They say to him,"Do n''t you know that you left out not only the amount of the bid, but the name of the bidder?" |
| 38810 | They say to these witnesses,"Did you ever see such a clause as that in a subcontract before?" |
| 38810 | They say,"Why do n''t you bring somebody to impeach Mr. Jacob Rehm?" |
| 38810 | They would say,"What kind of protection have you got, sir?" |
| 38810 | To July 24? |
| 38810 | To the statement that was made in writing and given to you and the attorney- general by ex- Senator S. W. Dorsey? |
| 38810 | To what statement do you refer? |
| 38810 | To when? |
| 38810 | Until the tax was raised from seventy cents to ninety cents, and what is it now? |
| 38810 | Upon what meat do these officers feed that they are grown so great that an ordinary citizen may not address a petition to one of them? |
| 38810 | Was Dickson indicted to bias public opinion? |
| 38810 | Was Horace F. Page a conspirator? |
| 38810 | Was Mr Dorsey here at that time? |
| 38810 | Was Senator Hill a conspirator? |
| 38810 | Was any contract granted upon those bonds or proposals? |
| 38810 | Was any money paid out on it? |
| 38810 | Was any such will made? |
| 38810 | Was he a conspirator with their Representative in Congress from Oregon? |
| 38810 | Was he afraid Brady would forget it? |
| 38810 | Was he afraid he would forget it? |
| 38810 | Was he at that time a conspirator? |
| 38810 | Was he candid then? |
| 38810 | Was he instructed to do it? |
| 38810 | Was it a motive to steal something, or was it a motive simply to be correct? |
| 38810 | Was it a receipt for any money? |
| 38810 | Was it false? |
| 38810 | Was it not consistent with innocence for Dorsey to open it and read it and then send for Boone and give it to him? |
| 38810 | Was it not consistent with innocence for Peck to write S. W. Dorsey a letter? |
| 38810 | Was it not consistent with innocence that John W. Dorsey met Peck at Oberlin, and that he met Miner in Sandusky? |
| 38810 | Was it not consistent with innocence that Peck and Miner and John W. Dorsey should agree to bid? |
| 38810 | Was it not natural for him to endeavor to convince distillers that he had plenty of protection to sell? |
| 38810 | Was it not natural for him to make the distillers believe,"If you will give me ten dollars a barrel you will have perfect protection"? |
| 38810 | Was it the book- keeper who, every report that he made, swore to a lie? |
| 38810 | Was it the gauger who received six hundred dollars a month for being a liar and a thief? |
| 38810 | Was it when Dorsey sent for Boone? |
| 38810 | Was it when Miner got here in December, 1877? |
| 38810 | Was not that consistent with innocence? |
| 38810 | Was not that first affidavit interlined? |
| 38810 | Was one copied from the other, and the copy so slavish that it was misspelled exactly the same? |
| 38810 | Was productiveness thought of? |
| 38810 | Was that because he was a co- conspirator? |
| 38810 | Was that consistent with innocence? |
| 38810 | Was that for the benefit of the Government? |
| 38810 | Was that his business? |
| 38810 | Was that natural? |
| 38810 | Was that note at Lewis Johnson& Co.''s? |
| 38810 | Was the Government ever defrauded out of a cent by them? |
| 38810 | Was the conspiracy flagrant then? |
| 38810 | Was the letter of the Attorney- General of the United States, written just before this trial began, written to bias public opinion also? |
| 38810 | Was the present Secretary of the Interior a conspirator? |
| 38810 | Was there a conspiracy then? |
| 38810 | Was there a conspiracy when Dorsey received the letter from Peck or Miner? |
| 38810 | Was there any conspiracy then? |
| 38810 | Was there any danger of Munn turning state''s evidence against himself? |
| 38810 | Was there any danger of any thief or of any conspirator saying anything calculated to bring this rascality to the surface? |
| 38810 | Was there any danger of that book- keeper trying to throw himself out of employment? |
| 38810 | Was there any danger of that gauger stopping his own pay? |
| 38810 | Was there any danger of these liars and of these thieves making a fuss on their own account? |
| 38810 | Was there any reason for supposing that it was twenty- five cents? |
| 38810 | Was there anything criminal in that? |
| 38810 | Was there ever a conspiracy like that, the news of which ran through the West like wild- fire, while the fellows at the East never heard of it? |
| 38810 | Was there not danger that he would be declared a failing contractor? |
| 38810 | Was there not just as much danger of Bridges making a fuss as Munn? |
| 38810 | We have got it fixed with the Second Assistant Postmaster- General"? |
| 38810 | We say to Burroughs,"In 1874, in 1873, in 1872, did Rehm tell you that Munn was not in it?" |
| 38810 | We then asked Mr. Burroughs,"Did Mr. Rehm ever give you such notice?" |
| 38810 | We then asked him,"Did he tell you that?" |
| 38810 | Well, now, ought not you to let him tell his own story, ought not you, gentlemen, to be clever enough to let him do his own swearing? |
| 38810 | Well, now, what did Boone do? |
| 38810 | Well, then, why not pay the men? |
| 38810 | Well, what is reasonable care? |
| 38810 | Well, when was it filed or when was it transmitted? |
| 38810 | Well, who said it did? |
| 38810 | Were Senator Grover and Senator Slater also conspirators? |
| 38810 | Were generals, judges, district attorneys, members of State and Territorial Legislatures-- were they all conspirators? |
| 38810 | Were the balance- sheets just as good as the books? |
| 38810 | Were they added coincidently with the affidavit for expedition? |
| 38810 | Were they false? |
| 38810 | Were those his exact words? |
| 38810 | Were you asked any question about this whiskey business? |
| 38810 | Were you asked by one of the grand jurors whether you knew of any illicit whiskey being made in this city by any of those distilleries? |
| 38810 | Were you not asked if you knew of any crookedness about whiskey, and did n''t you reply"No"? |
| 38810 | Were you sworn before that grand jury by anybody? |
| 38810 | What about? |
| 38810 | What affidavits have you made in this case? |
| 38810 | What are the facts? |
| 38810 | What are the means? |
| 38810 | What are the numbers of these affidavits? |
| 38810 | What are the overt acts in the indictment? |
| 38810 | What became of Lake? |
| 38810 | What became of Lilley? |
| 38810 | What became of McGrew? |
| 38810 | What became of twenty or thirty other officials upon whose reputation this man had breathed the poison of slander? |
| 38810 | What book would that committee want? |
| 38810 | What can it do? |
| 38810 | What color was it, red, brown, or black? |
| 38810 | What confidence can you put in that kind of testimony? |
| 38810 | What did Bosler tell him? |
| 38810 | What did Harvey M. Vaile do? |
| 38810 | What did Miner say? |
| 38810 | What did Mr. Blackmar do with them? |
| 38810 | What did Mr. Boone say? |
| 38810 | What did he do with Dorsey? |
| 38810 | What did he do with them? |
| 38810 | What did he do? |
| 38810 | What did he do? |
| 38810 | What did he do? |
| 38810 | What did he take? |
| 38810 | What did he want Boone for? |
| 38810 | What did he want a reputation with you for? |
| 38810 | What did he want to do? |
| 38810 | What did they say? |
| 38810 | What did they want of Boone? |
| 38810 | What did they want the books and papers for? |
| 38810 | What did they want to introduce that for? |
| 38810 | What did they want to prove by him? |
| 38810 | What did they want with those things? |
| 38810 | What did you do with it, if you did?" |
| 38810 | What did you do with that amount in order to balance the books? |
| 38810 | What did you do with them?" |
| 38810 | What did you mean? |
| 38810 | What did you say? |
| 38810 | What difference did it make when it came from Washington?" |
| 38810 | What difference did it make whether it was sent to Morey or to somebody else? |
| 38810 | What difference does it make who wrote it? |
| 38810 | What do we do in that according to the indictment? |
| 38810 | What do you think of that? |
| 38810 | What do you want me to give forty per cent, of this thing to Vaile for? |
| 38810 | What does Boone say about that? |
| 38810 | What does Boone swear? |
| 38810 | What does Mr. Boone say? |
| 38810 | What does Shaw say? |
| 38810 | What does he say there? |

| 38810 | What else did he do? |
| 38810 | What else did he have against Dorsey at that time? |
| 38810 | What else did he have the morning after he was talking with MacVeagh? |
| 38810 | What else did he have? |
| 38810 | What else did he have? |
| 38810 | What else did he have? |
| 38810 | What else did he say? |
| 38810 | What else did they want these false dates for? |
| 38810 | What else does it do? |
| 38810 | What else have we left? |
| 38810 | What else have you got?" |
| 38810 | What else is there outside in this case against Stephen W. Dorsey? |
| 38810 | What else? |

| 38810 | What horses will you count? |
| 38810 | What if he did? |

| 38810 | What is a liberal provision for a wife that has no means of making her own living? |
