33672 | Having laid hold on the same anchor of the soul, why should we not rejoice in each other''s strength? |
33672 | How unsafe? |
33672 | If both believe the truth destined to prevail, is it not incumbent on them to assist that prevalence? |
33672 | If either body believe their brethren in error, is it right to leave them so without an effort to reclaim them? |

33672 | If such homage were her due, how came the Apostles and the apostolic Fathers to withhold it from her? |
33672 | If we are asked why then we firmly believe in the immortality of the righteous? |

33672 | What apprehensions could be fitted to excite greater dread? |
33672 | What are worldly pomp and wealth? |

33672 | Why was her claim disallowed so long? |
33672 | Would any purpose of justice be answered by such a process? |
33672 | Would not every principle of equity-- to say nothing of benevolence-- be violated? |
33672 | Would not the sufferer be as foolish and blind in his submission as the judge arbitrary in the infliction? |
33672 | Would the case be altered, except in the way of aggravation, if the sentence were inflicted at the desire of the innocent man? |

31779 | But were not these men divinely inspired? |
31779 | Strange is it not? 31779 Was he not freely forgiven?" |
31779 | What must I do to be saved? |
31779 | What then shall I do unto Jesus, who is called Christ? |
31779 | Wherewith shall I come before Jehovah, and bow myself before the high God? 31779 A real snake, or the devil? 31779 A simple rule of conduct may be this: In view of any proposed course of conduct, word or act, these questions may be asked:What may be the result? |
31779 | And as such does he not need a Savior? |
31779 | And if death only entered the world because of sin, why does all nature die? |
31779 | And if not, why make such a fuss about it? |
31779 | And if rebellious angels had to be punished why not do it by annihilation instead of making this burning hell for them? |
31779 | And if so when, if ever, was it withdrawn? |
31779 | And if so,_ which_ is the right one? |
31779 | And is there but_ one_ true path to God, while all the others only lead to hell? |
31779 | And what is this"scheme"of redemption, or"plan"of salvation? |
31779 | And who, or what was the serpent? |
31779 | But after all, what about the salvation of the race since the death of Christ? |
31779 | But for tasting the forbidden fruit, in what respect could man have become a being of higher order than the beast of the field?" |
31779 | But how could it_ all_ be true, when it told so many different and conflicting stories about the same thing? |
31779 | But if the Bible in which we find it can not be relied upon infallibly,_ how_ are we to know? |
31779 | But supposing this story of the fall to be true, what was the penalty for it,--physical death, as we have seen, or eternal spiritual death, or both? |
31779 | But was he ever otherwise? |
31779 | But who would dare defend them now? |
31779 | CHAPTER VII A NEW INTERPRETATION OF RELIGION What is religion? |
31779 | Can a just God do that? |
31779 | Can any mortal in this age of the world believe such nonsense, or perpetrate such a caricature of God? |
31779 | Can perfection, or that which is perfect, fall? |
31779 | Can these later books be quoted as_ authority_ for that which existed, in some instances, a thousand years before they were written? |
31779 | Could a just God be guilty of such outrageous conduct? |
31779 | Could n''t God take care of himself and find his way back to Nazareth at any time he wished to go? |
31779 | Could such a God be just? |
31779 | Did all this come upon all nature because Adam ate an apple? |
31779 | Did death enter the world, as we have always been taught, because of this sin? |
31779 | Did he walk uprightly before, and did he have legs and feet? |
31779 | Did that spirit of truth ever come? |
31779 | Does not Christianity meet this necessity? |
31779 | Does not this confirm that what the serpent said was true? |
31779 | Does the reader inquire here what are the"ordinary methods of interpretation"? |
31779 | During these years of Paul''s obscurity, both in Arabia and at Tarsus, what was he probably doing? |
31779 | He created some that way, why not all? |
31779 | How are we to know what is inspired from what is not? |
31779 | How can man attain unto right relations with his God? |
31779 | How could anything fit to be called_ character_ ever have been produced there? |
31779 | How could the Holy Spirit"inspire"in two different men, writing upon the same subject, such varying and irreconcilable accounts of the same event? |
31779 | How could we know anything about the one but thru its contrast with the other? |
31779 | How could we know that it was good? |
31779 | How then did the idea of a supernatural birth and the deification of Jesus come about, if it was not a real fact? |
31779 | I asked myself the questions: May not Christianity be substantially true after all? |
31779 | If God could so use the Methodist Church for this purpose, why might not I? |
31779 | If God foresaw what Adam would do and the dreadful consequences of it, why did He not make him different so he would not fall? |
31779 | If either man or angels were created pure, perfect, holy, and in the image and likeness of God, how can such a being fall? |
31779 | If his spirit could enter into the hearts of men and direct their thoughts and minds, why did He not do it and stop this useless slaughter? |
31779 | If man was so perverse that he needed to be destroyed, why wreak vengeance also on the animal creation that had not sinned? |
31779 | If so, how many were saved? |
31779 | If the New Testament was truly inspired of God and infallibly true, what difference did it make if the Old was doubtful and uncertain? |
31779 | If there were no such thing as evil, how could we be conscious of the good? |
31779 | If we had never tasted anything but sugar, could we know what bitterness is? |
31779 | Is any possible evil consequence, either to myself or any one else, likely to come of it?" |
31779 | Is it not of vital importance to know? |
31779 | Is not man a sinner? |
31779 | Is not the Bible after all, tho of purely human origin as I now conceived, a valuable book? |
31779 | May not the"great plan of salvation"be true after all? |
31779 | May we not yet find much valuable truth in it, tho neither inspired nor infallible? |
31779 | No need to go into any argument here upon the question of whether,"If a man die shall he live again?" |
31779 | Now, was the first sin that eternally damned the whole human race a mere matter of eating from a forbidden tree? |
31779 | Or just the reverse? |
31779 | Shall I come before him with burnt- offerings, with calves a year old? |
31779 | Shall I give my first- born for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?" |
31779 | The question arises: Was Eve never to be a mother but for this transaction? |
31779 | The question has been asked, why_ burn_ the offering? |
31779 | The test of inspiration is whether or not it reproduces its kind:--Does it inspire? |
31779 | Then how was the race to be propagated? |
31779 | Then if the Jews_ had not_ rejected Jesus and thereby caused his blood to be shed, what would have been the eternal destiny of the whole human race? |
31779 | Then what is religion? |
31779 | Then where did Luke get this information? |
31779 | Then why save any seed of such perverse stock? |
31779 | Then, what do we_ know_ about Jesus? |
31779 | Turning now for a moment to the New Testament: Is it the source and authority for Christianity? |
31779 | Was Adam to be immortal in the flesh if he had not eaten of the forbidden fruit? |
31779 | Was character of no avail? |
31779 | Was faith the only thing that could merit the favor of God? |
31779 | Was it not just as easy? |
31779 | Was it possible that all this upon which I had staked my whole life, and had been preaching for years, was a mere fiction? |
31779 | Was not God the very essence of truth? |
31779 | Was salvation after all as arbitrary as that described in"Holy Willie''s Prayer"? |
31779 | Were none of these things on the earth before? |
31779 | Were the rose bushes in the Garden of Eden"thornless"? |
31779 | What about the"plan of salvation,"the remission of sins only thru the"power of the blood"? |
31779 | What did baptism amount to anyway? |
31779 | What did he eat before? |
31779 | What do we know about Jesus anyway? |
31779 | What is there in all the world''s literature more inspired and more inspiring than this? |
31779 | What is_ my_ conception of God? |
31779 | What must man do to be saved? |
31779 | What then is to be the test of inspiration? |
31779 | What was the meaning, intent and purpose of this vicarious atonement? |
31779 | When Joseph and Mary found him in the temple, she is quoted as saying,"Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? |
31779 | Whence came these beliefs? |
31779 | Which was first of the two? |
31779 | Who can believe such a caricature of God? |
31779 | Who can read Emerson''s essay on Spiritual Laws, or The Over- Soul, and not be inspired? |
31779 | Who created the angels, or were they co- eternal with God? |
31779 | Who made hell? |
31779 | Why did not God reveal this promise to all mankind alike, so that all might be saved, instead of to one family and one nation? |
31779 | Why was it not sufficient simply to shed the blood? |
31779 | Will Jehovah be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? |
31779 | Will it in any way injure me, or any one else? |
31779 | With these records as a basis, or starting point, we must work out the problem for ourselves: Who and what was Jesus? |
31779 | Would an all- wise, a just and good God create such beings, knowing in advance what they would do and what the consequences of it would be? |
31779 | Yet, I could not see why we might not affiliate with, and co- operate more with our Methodist brethren, imperfect and unscriptural(?) |
31779 | _ HEAVEN AND HELL_ But do I not believe in heaven and hell? |
31779 | _ MAN_"What is man that thou art mindful of him?" |
31779 | _ SALVATION_ What is salvation? |
31779 | and whence came the devil? |
31779 | or Bryant''s Lines to a Water- fowl, or Thanatopsis, and not be inspired? |
31779 | or Longfellow''s Resignation? |
31779 | or was it to be propagated at all? |
31779 | that of the myriads who, Before us passed the door of darkness thru, Not one returns, to tell us of the road, Which to discover, we must travel too?" |
41280 | How knoweth this man letters, having never learned? |
41280 | If such were the ideal of Jesus in fact, why did he not seek to realize it at once? 41280 Lord, to whom shall we go? |
41280 | 30) which shall betoken his own coming and the great world- change? |
41280 | Am I told that it is hopeless at so late an hour to separate what is an indigenous gift from what is implanted by education? |
41280 | And here I stop to ask again, Can all this suit the urgent necessities of our times? |
41280 | And how? |
41280 | And instead of consulting the maturity of thought, are we to peer into its cradle and seek oracles in its infant cries? |
41280 | And is not a pure mind the very moral atmosphere in which man sees God as he is, and rejoices in the sight? |
41280 | And must we not believe that such men and women were true Christians? |
41280 | And shall I risk the vastly greater evil of poisoning its soul, by allowing it to be tainted with heretical books and teachers in free schools? |
41280 | And this has been, by an old Roman Catholic writer, very clearly expressed in these three words:"The priest, what is he? |
41280 | And why was this? |
41280 | And, if at all, how far? |
41280 | But are such things to be reckoned among the essentials of Christian faith or Christian righteousness? |
41280 | But does not the age in turn need this teaching? |
41280 | But does this make Christianity only a human growth, and so predict a coming decay, which many seem to think has already begun? |
41280 | But how when he returned was the throne of David to be restored, and a proper, literal reign to exist, and not a mere spiritual reign? |
41280 | But is that the tendency of things? |
41280 | But then,_ Why_ must he grant it? |
41280 | But to what else shall we turn? |
41280 | But what is it that entitles such persons all alike to the Christian character and name? |
41280 | But what is to determine the character of this power? |
41280 | Can there be any doubt upon either of these points-- either the culture or welfare? |
41280 | Could any political kingdom arise in a more outwardly striking manner? |
41280 | Could he think that within that time the destinies of Humanity as he knew it would be closed? |
41280 | Could that teacher suppose that the opportunity for performing such duties would cease for ever before the last of his apostles should have died? |
41280 | Could there be a condition more horrible? |
41280 | Did he adopt them? |
41280 | Did he claim to be such a Messiah as the Jews expected? |
41280 | Do not minds advance unequally in truth, in all the successive phases of a soul''s spiritual growth? |
41280 | Do those changes make matters better or worse? |
41280 | Do we care to know the evidence on which it rests? |
41280 | Do we ever tire of Jesus Christ, considered as the sinless image, within human limitations, of God''s love and truth and mercy and purity? |
41280 | Do we ever tire of hearing the wondrous story of his obedient, disinterested, and exalted life and sacrifice? |
41280 | Do we ever tire of the stars, or the horizon, or the blue sky, or the dawn, or the sunset, or running water, or natural gems? |
41280 | Do you expect to find them so now? |
41280 | Do you wonder that the priests oppose our school system? |
41280 | Does it not discharge as dreams their most assured revelations? |
41280 | For how, indeed, can it be otherwise? |
41280 | For what does the word mean, and whence is it borrowed? |
41280 | Had it not done so, how could it have touched and moved them as it did, and as, through them, it has touched and moved the world ever since? |
41280 | Has it any other possible solution? |
41280 | Has mankind outgrown the influence of religion to- day? |
41280 | Has the spread of knowledge, the advance of science, the development of literature, art, culture, weakened its power in Christendom? |
41280 | Have not real and affecting mysteries been very much transferred for the time from theology to philosophy, from the priest to the professor? |
41280 | He has no doubt of the truth of the story;"what did the lion say then?" |
41280 | How could he say the kingdom of God was among them_ already_, if it were yet to come at the time of the great world- change? |
41280 | How did he regard these ideas and expectations? |
41280 | How far does the cause of Christianity depend on the facts, or alleged facts, of the Gospel narrative? |
41280 | How far is our idea of Christ affected by a mode of interpretation which supposes a mingling of mythical with historic elements in the Gospel record? |
41280 | How is it at the present time? |
41280 | How shall we carry sudden help unless we hear at once the story? |
41280 | How shall we send prompt help if there be no strong and swift messenger waiting at our door? |
41280 | How, then, could Jesus say the kingdom of God cometh not with_ observation_? |
41280 | If by critical investigation the fact were made doubtful, would that doubt at all impair the truth of the idea? |
41280 | If so, will it not follow that in every one of their differing communions true Christians are to be found? |
41280 | If there is nothing above this world or beyond this life; if we came from nothing and are going nowhere, what interest is there in the world? |
41280 | If this be so, how will the discovery affect our natural trust in the intimations of our supreme faculties? |
41280 | In short, when is it, that a man does and is, the highest that he is capable of? |
41280 | In the new church, in that_ basilica_, what do we find? |
41280 | In what shall we find an answer to our inquiry, as to the true idea of the Christian Gospel? |
41280 | Is all this real Christianity? |
41280 | Is it as new as it seems? |
41280 | Is it as threatening to the cause of religious faith as it seems? |
41280 | Is it not even so with ourselves at the present moment? |
41280 | Is it not in truth a strange choice, to set up"_ Evolution_,"of all things, as the negation of_ Purpose_ pre- disposing what is to come? |
41280 | Is it not natural-- is it not inevitable, that this tendency should yet develop itself in the higher concerns of his being? |
41280 | Is it not simply in this, that they receive and reverence Jesus as the beloved Son in whom God was well pleased? |
41280 | Is it not the clear self- revelation of a God, one, all- wise, omnipotent? |
41280 | Is it not well? |
41280 | Is it that religion is growing_ less_ mystic? |
41280 | Is not Christ, so true elsewhere, mistaken here? |
41280 | Is our wisdom to be gathered by going back to the age before our errors? |
41280 | Is that the truth after which our souls hunger and thirst? |
41280 | Is this scepticism imaginary? |
41280 | Is this the sober truth? |
41280 | Is, then, the transmigration of forces altogether an illusion? |
41280 | It ends in a doctrine of despair, which cries continually,"What is the use?" |
41280 | Must we exaggerate, must we be unfair in our attacks? |
41280 | Must we go to sleep, thinking there is nothing to do? |
41280 | Now can chance have evolved this universal fitness, and the souls that own their allegiance to it? |
41280 | Now what guides conscience to good or to evil? |
41280 | Or are they intrinsic, essential, independent of command, even of the Divine command? |
41280 | Or, if it be not so, where else shall we look with the hope to find it? |
41280 | Or, to state the question in other words, Is the truth of Christianity identical and conterminous with the literal truth of its record? |
41280 | Our opening question then is: What is the ground of right? |
41280 | Pilate asked the question, What is truth? |
41280 | Reduced to its most general terms, is it any thing more or other than this? |
41280 | Self- culture? |
41280 | Should I run the risk of poisoning my child''s body by accepting as a gift a little better food than that I am able to buy? |
41280 | Suppose one of the Scipios taken out of his tomb; and bring him into a Roman Catholic Church: do you think he will be very much astonished? |
41280 | That this Theology of faith is to triumph over that of fear who can doubt? |
41280 | The seeds no doubt were on the field; but who can say whether ever"a Sower went forth to sow"? |
41280 | There is evil enough in the world; but what nation or age ever approved of it? |
41280 | Was Christ exempt from that kind of moral discipline, that supreme proof of fidelity to God? |
41280 | We should not hesitate, any more than they did, to call him Master and Lord; to say,"To whom else shall we go? |
41280 | What better would there be for me than this-- what better constitution of a rational nature? |
41280 | What but freedom, fidelity to rational principles and ideal justice, give it this strength? |
41280 | What can look more like the field of a directing Will intent upon the good? |
41280 | What did the Romans do? |
41280 | What happened? |
41280 | What is an organ? |
41280 | What is insanity, but the wreck of this personality? |
41280 | What is the faith of the fairly educated young men and women who are now springing up in America? |
41280 | What is the meaning of"pontiff"? |
41280 | What is the result? |
41280 | What is the result? |
41280 | What is to decide which it shall be? |
41280 | What made this great change in his soul? |
41280 | What must we do, we Protestants, in the presence of this fact? |
41280 | What people ever praised selfishness, injustice, falsifying of speech or trust? |
41280 | What then do all the Christian sects and parties, of every name, hold in common, and never differ about? |
41280 | What were the especial traits of character of the Romans? |
41280 | What, then, shall be said of the language which appears to express that opinion? |
41280 | When does culture or art in him attain to the highest? |
41280 | When it gets there and falls to work, what does it help us to account for? |
41280 | Who can exhaust, who can add to, the real force and attraction and fulness of those truths and promises? |
41280 | Who else has ever had a true_ authority_ to place before us a more perfect idea, or to tell us more exactly what the Gospel is? |
41280 | Why are certain acts right, and certain other acts wrong? |
41280 | Why are they called in that way? |
41280 | Why did he prefer the way of renunciation and self- sacrifice to the possession of the kingdoms of the world? |
41280 | Why have republican institutions in New York almost proved a failure? |
41280 | Why preserve that which we value not? |
41280 | Why shall not the kingdom be given up immediately to the Father? |
41280 | Why should his followers be ready to suffer social persecution, if his aim tended in the direction regarded with social favor? |
41280 | Why should we allow ourselves to be beguiled by fables and false hopes and make- believes? |
41280 | Why were a few robbers able to take possession of the city, and plunder the citizens? |
41280 | Why? |
41280 | Will any one, whose opinion is worth listening to, say that it does? |
41280 | Will not our confidence in those representations be impaired by this view of their contents? |
41280 | You believe, perhaps, that the shape of a Roman Catholic Church at Rome will astonish a pagan? |
41280 | You may have said in listening to me thus far,"What need of insisting so much upon self- regard, which we all perfectly well understand?" |
41280 | and what did he expect as the result of his movement? |
41280 | he asks; and"what did the fox do next?" |
41280 | or of the call to follow his graces and copy his perfections into our own hearts and lives? |
41280 | or only science more so? |
41280 | prayer a childish impulse, which clear- seeing manhood must put away? |
41280 | so clearly, plainly stated as to preclude the differences just alluded to, as to what it_ is_ that has been revealed? |
41280 | that they hold the Christian faith in the Father in Heaven, with all that this involves of love to God and love to man? |
41280 | that they hold the same common faith as to the presence and the providence of God, the future life and the judgment to come? |

34637 | ***** But now how can we change this, and get the idea of freedom into men''s minds? |
34637 | ***** But then comes the other question, What is the best use to be made of the day; the use most conducive to the highest interests of mankind? |
34637 | ***** Do men of the next world look in upon this? |
34637 | ***** How can we make the Sunday yet more valuable? |
34637 | ***** Shall we know our friends again? |
34637 | ***** Shall we remember the deeds of the former life; this man that he picked rags out of the mud in the streets, and another that he ruled nations? |
34637 | ***** What is this future life? |
34637 | And what does Massachusetts do? |
34637 | And would not all this extend the bounds of slavery? |
34637 | Are the present opinions respecting the origin, nature, and original design of that institution just and true? |
34637 | Are they present with us, conscious of our deeds or thoughts? |
34637 | Are you getting less in the qualities of a man? |
34637 | But if he adopted his old plan, what should we say of him? |
34637 | But is it likely that all the old tragedies will be enacted again? |
34637 | But is it only soldiers that we need? |
34637 | But the northern whigs have their leaders-- are they anti- slavery men? |
34637 | But what is it in 1848? |
34637 | But what is the South most noted for abroad? |

34637 | But you will ask, Why does not a minister demand piety in its natural form? |
34637 | But, continued the inquirer, is not this a good one-- To seek"The greatest good of the greatest number?" |
34637 | Can life in heaven do it? |
34637 | Can the Almighty deceive his children? |
34637 | Can the national faults be corrected? |
34637 | Can the practical saint and the practical hypocrite enter on the same course of being together? |
34637 | Did a decided people ever choose dough- faces?--a people that loved God and man, choose representatives that cared for neither truth nor justice? |

34637 | Do the voters always know what they are about when they choose them? |
34637 | Do those men who control the politics of New England not like it? |
34637 | Do you ask the sects to engage in the work of extirpating concrete wrong? |
34637 | Do you get poor in your souls? |
34637 | Do you not reach out your arms for heaven, for immortality, and feel you can not die? |
34637 | Do you tell me that culprit''s mother loves her son more than God can love him? |

34637 | Her husband objects, saying,"Wherefore wilt thou go to him to- day? |
34637 | How did mankind come by this opinion? |
34637 | How long would intemperance continue, and pauperism, in Boston; how long slavery in this land? |
34637 | How long would men complain of a dead body of divinity and a dead church, and a ministry that was dead? |
34637 | How much more does the body hinder us from seeing? |
34637 | How shall we bring them to the task? |
34637 | I ask If you will? |
34637 | I would ask the worst of mothers, Did you forsake your child because he went astray, and mocked your word? |
34637 | If Light can thus deceive, wherefore not Life?" |
34637 | If my soul is to claim the body again, which shall it be, the body I was born into, or that I died out of? |
34637 | If there were a true, manly piety in this town, in due proportion to our numbers, wealth, and enterprise, how long would the vices of this city last? |

34637 | In your youth was the Sunday a welcome day; a genial day; or only wearisome and sour? |
34637 | Is God to be partial in granting the favors of another life? |
34637 | Is it Christian in us by statute to interdict them from their recreation? |
34637 | Is it always to be so? |
34637 | Is it too much to hope all this? |
34637 | Is that superiority of gift solely for the man''s own sake? |
34637 | Is the age wanting in piety, which makes such efforts as these? |
34637 | Is the man in arrears with virtue, having long practised wickedness and become insolvent? |
34637 | Is the present mode of observing it the most profitable that can be devised? |
34637 | Is this difference of any practical importance at the present moment? |
34637 | It is no merit to die; shall we tell lies about him because he is dead? |
34637 | Mr. President, is one of these anti- slavery? |
34637 | Must it not be so in the next? |

34637 | Must it not be so there? |
34637 | No grain of dust gets lost from off this dusty globe; and shall God lose a man from off this sphere of souls? |

34637 | See how every steamer brings us good tidings of good things; and do you believe America can keep her slaves? |
34637 | Shall I then have a handful of my former dust, and that alone? |
34637 | Shall not the prayers of all Christian hearts go up with them on that day, a great deep prayer for their success? |
34637 | Shall the American nation go on in this work, or pause, turn off, fall, and perish? |
34637 | Shall we conclude these are never to obtain development and do their work? |
34637 | Should a great man have known better? |
34637 | So at the last, which body shall claim my soul, for the ten had her? |
34637 | So the age asks of all institutions their right to be: What right has the government to existence? |

34688 | If so:(_ a_) Does that deed constitute the crime of treason? |
34688 | If the court can thus select a jury to suit itself, mere creatures of its own, what is the use of a jury to try the fact? |
34688 | In such a case,"what is to be done?" |

34688 | Is the book a History? |
34688 | Is the book of Poetry? |

34688 | Is there a member of Congress that would not vote for freedom?" |
34688 | Is there a rich pro- slavery man in the parish? |
34688 | Is this the liberty of Massachusetts? |
34688 | It is a great question, comprising many smaller ones:--Shall we extend and foster Slavery, or shall we extend and foster Freedom? |
34688 | It may give an imperfect answer to the question, What is absolutely right? |

34573 | Do you wonder at the poverty just now spoken of; at the vagrant children? |
34573 | Do you wonder at this? |
34573 | Do you wonder that I asked: Who is sufficient for these things? |

34573 | He blasphemeth Moses and the prophets; yea, he hath a devil, and is mad, why hear him?" |
34573 | He looks forward, and what prospect is there? |
34573 | How can it be otherwise? |
34573 | How can we repent, cast our own sins behind us, outgrow and forget them better, than by helping others to work out their salvation? |
34573 | How could it be otherwise? |
34573 | How long is it since men sent their servants to the"Workhouse,"to be beaten"for disobedience,"at the discretion of the master? |

34573 | How much better is it to choke the life out of a man behind the prison wall? |
34573 | How much better off are many women in Boston who gain their bread by the needle? |
34573 | I am strong; who dares assail me? |
34573 | I know some men care little for the rich, but when the owners keep their craft in port, where can the"hands"find work or their mouths find bread? |
34573 | I will not at this moment undertake to go behind their organization and ask,"How comes it that they are so ill- born?" |
34573 | I wish I could say,"They know not what they do;"but at this day who does not know the effect of intemperance in Boston? |
34573 | If it be the duty of the State to prevent crime, not avenge it, is it not plain what is the way? |
34573 | If it be treason to speak against the war, what was it to make the war, to ask for 50,000 men and$ 74,000,000 for the war? |
34573 | If it is right in the President of the United States to rob and murder, why not for the President of the United States Bank? |
34573 | If it were right to kill Mexicans for a few dollars a month, why was it not also right to kill Americans, especially when it pays the most? |
34573 | If one mock at the crimes of men, perhaps at their sins, at the infamous punishments they suffer-- what can you say of him? |
34573 | If the South wants this, would the North object? |
34573 | In Dartmoor prison? |

34573 | Is it better for the State to kill a man in cold blood, than for me to kill my brother when in a rage? |
34573 | Is it consistent for the State to take vengeance when I may not? |
34573 | Is it not better to acquire it by the schoolmaster than the cannon; by peddling cloth, tin, any thing rather than bullets? |
34573 | Is it? |
34573 | Is not society the father of us all, our protector and defender? |
34573 | Is not the poor man, too, most often cheated in the weight and the measure? |
34573 | Is our soil degenerate, and have we lost the breed of noble men? |
34573 | Is that a praise? |
34573 | Is that all? |
34573 | Is that all? |
34573 | Is that democratic too? |
34573 | Is that democratic, to tax every man''s breakfast and supper, for the sake of getting more territory to whip negroes in? |
34573 | Is that the will of God? |
34573 | Is the State only a step- mother? |
34573 | Is there manliness enough left in the North to do that? |
34573 | Is there not in the nation skill to heal these men? |
34573 | It is a good thing to forgive an offence: who does not need that favor and often? |
34573 | It is a sad question to society, What shall be done with the criminals-- thieves, housebreakers, pirates, murderers? |
34573 | It is a serious question to the world, What is to become of the humbler nations-- Irish, Mexicans, Malays, Indians, Negroes? |
34573 | Let him commit a small crime, which shall involve no moral guilt, and be legally punished-- who respects him again? |
34573 | Men will call us traitors: what then? |
34573 | Much may be said to excuse the rank and file, ignorant men, many of them in want-- but for the leaders, what can be said? |
34573 | Need I tell you how I felt at sight of the work which stretched out before me? |
34573 | Not tell the nation that she is doing wrong? |
34573 | Now it becomes a serious question, What shall be done for these stragglers, or even with them? |
34573 | Now, What is the amount of the national earnings? |
34573 | Of what use to shut a man in a jail, and release him with the certainty that he will come out no better, and soon return for the same offence? |
34573 | Once the great question was, How large is the standing army? |
34573 | Perhaps you can not cure these men!--is there not power enough to keep them from doing harm; to make them useful? |
34573 | Poor brothers, how could they? |
34573 | Said I not truly, our most famous politicians are, in the general way, only mercantile party- men? |
34573 | Seldom has it been the question, What shall be done for them? |
34573 | Shall I speak of their sisters; of the education they are receiving; the end that awaits them? |
34573 | Shall all this war, this aggression of the slave power be for nothing? |
34573 | Shall we ever waken out of our sleep; shall we ever remember the duties we owe to the world and to God, who put us here on this new continent? |
34573 | Shall we stop there? |
34573 | Should they rather worship the Grecian Jove, or the Jehovah of the Jews? |
34573 | Suppose the culprits ask,"Where will you hang so many?" |
34573 | Suppose the warriors should ask,"Why, what is that?" |
34573 | Suppose those three felons, the halters round their neck, should ask also,"Why, what is that?" |
34573 | Take the politicians most famous and honored at this day, and what have they done? |
34573 | That other man,[19] benevolent and indefatigable, where is he? |
34573 | That thirty thousand-- in the name of humanity I ask,"Where are they?" |
34573 | The Federalists did not see all things; who ever did? |
34573 | The beef is eaten up, the cloth worn away, the powder is burnt, and what is there to show for it all? |
34573 | The crime which is so terribly avenged on woman-- think you that God will hold men innocent of that? |
34573 | The first question is, What end shall we aim at in dealing with them? |
34573 | The ignorant man, ill- born and ill- bred, asks:"Why not when done on a small scale; why not good for me?" |
34573 | The little children who survive-- are they to be left to become barbarians in the midst of our civilization? |
34573 | The possession of the West Indies would bring much money to New England, and what is the value of freedom compared to coffee and sugar and cotton? |
34573 | The power of America-- do we need proof of that? |
34573 | Their character will one day be a blot and a curse to the nation, and who is to blame? |
34573 | Then what do you think despotism would be? |
34573 | Then who shall dare break its peace? |
34573 | They have labored for a tariff, or for free trade; but what have they done for man? |
34573 | This result was doubtless God''s design, but was it man''s intention? |
34573 | This, that is glorious in his apparel, Proud in the greatness of his strength? |
34573 | Those that remain, what have they gained by this expulsion of their brothers? |
34573 | Throw him over, what good would that do? |
34573 | To take one man''s life is murder; what is it to practise killing as an art, a trade; to do it by thousands? |
34573 | Treason is it? |
34573 | Tried by these three standards, the judgment was true; what could he do to please these three parties? |
34573 | Under such circumstances how many of you would have done better? |
34573 | Under such circumstances, what marvel that the poor man becomes unthrifty, reckless and desperate? |
34573 | Virginia sells her negroes; what does New England sell? |
34573 | Was it through any fault or deficiency of Jesus, that these men refused him? |
34573 | We call ourselves Christians; we often repeat the name, the words of Christ,--but his prayer? |
34573 | We have seen them do this with lunatics, why not with those poor wretches whom now we murder? |
34573 | What adequate sum of gold, or what honors could mankind give to Columbus, to Faustus, to Fulton, for their works? |
34573 | What are we doing; what do we design to do? |
34573 | What are we to expect of children, born indeed with eyes and ears, but yet shut out from the culture of the age they live in? |
34573 | What better work is there for able men? |
34573 | What can we say in our defence? |
34573 | What causes have produced the class that is permanently poor? |
34573 | What dare they? |
34573 | What do they give in return? |
34573 | What do you think the Commons would have said? |
34573 | What does that teach him; science, letters; even morals and religion? |

34573 | What have these abandoned children to help them? |
34573 | What have we got to show for all this money? |

34573 | Would it not be a work profitable to ourselves, and useful to others weaker than we? |
34573 | Would not a reputation for uprightness and truth be a good capital for any man, old or young? |

18578 | A writer in the New York Times? |
18578 | ARE THERE ANY CREEDS WHICH IT IS WICKED FOR US TO QUESTION? |
18578 | ARE THERE ANY CREEDS WHICH IT IS WICKED FOR US TO QUESTION? |
18578 | All sweet, beautiful, noble; but, if nobody from the beginning of the world had ever advanced beyond mothers''ideas where should we be to- day? |
18578 | An Infinite Power, then, an eternal Power, shall I say an intelligent Power? |
18578 | And I have had persons say to me:"I have been ill all my life, I have suffered no end of pain and trouble: I wonder why? |
18578 | And I replied, Do you not think that God is almost as good as you are? |
18578 | And are these things the most important ones, the ones that we need to feel solid under our feet? |
18578 | And do you not see that in every case it has nothing whatever to do with the mother''s moral goodness or spiritual cultivation? |
18578 | And has this evolution of the religious life of the world threatened the stability of truth? |
18578 | And he takes his place in the long line of the world''s redeemers, those who have wrought atonement, how? |
18578 | And how shall we know whether it is right or wrong? |
18578 | And how was the majority reached? |
18578 | And then what? |
18578 | And truth for us, what is that? |
18578 | And what did they put him to death for? |
18578 | And what was Dr. Briggs tried for? |
18578 | And why does he do this? |
18578 | And why? |
18578 | And why? |
18578 | And yet, if these people that do not want any changes made had had control of the world ten thousand years ago, where should we be to- day? |
18578 | And, after two thousand years of that kind of effort, what is the result? |
18578 | And, if I had my choice of the future, what would it be? |
18578 | Anything like evidence? |
18578 | Anything like quiet brooding of those who supposed they were, under the influence of the Holy Ghost, receiving divine and sacred truth? |
18578 | Are not these men in their degree worshippers? |
18578 | Are there any great spiritual problems waiting for those questions to be settled? |
18578 | Are there no prayers for other lines? |
18578 | Are there some things that doubt can not touch? |
18578 | Are these antiquated ideas? |
18578 | Are these great human contests about nothing at all? |
18578 | Are they a gospel? |
18578 | Are we going to lose the sense of righteousness which is the very heart of religion? |
18578 | Are we going to wait for criticism to settle metaphysical problems before we do anything about these great practical matters? |
18578 | Are we losing our hope of the future? |
18578 | Are we made in his likeness? |
18578 | Are we not under the highest of all obligations to decide for ourselves one way or the other as to whether these claims are valid? |
18578 | Are we sure that a man is educated merely because he knows a lot of things or has been through a particular course of study? |
18578 | Are you sorry? |
18578 | As a result of this Renaissance, what happened? |
18578 | As we wake up, assuming nothing, and look abroad, what do we find? |
18578 | As you look over the animal world, which one of them are we accustomed to think of as coming the nearest to man? |
18578 | Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall what? |
18578 | But do you not see by what subtle and divine chemistry the selfishness is straightway transformed, lifted up, glorified, and becomes unselfishness? |
18578 | But has doubt quenched the light of any star? |
18578 | But has the great hope gone? |
18578 | But his companion said, Are you not astonished at the Capitol of Washington? |
18578 | But how is it supposed to work out the atonement that is necessary, in order that man may be saved? |
18578 | But is that a correct use of language? |
18578 | But is there any rational ground for hope still? |
18578 | But what does living mean? |
18578 | Can I illustrate it? |
18578 | Can both be right? |
18578 | Can we accept that to- day as a definition of a rational view of the relation in which we stand to God? |
18578 | Can we believe such things to- day? |
18578 | Can we call it an integral part of a gospel? |
18578 | Can we have the old ideas about him? |
18578 | Can we with gladness proclaim them to men? |
18578 | Can you conceive of a sane person making such a choice as that? |
18578 | Could we proclaim it with any heart of courage as a part of the gospel of God? |
18578 | Death? |
18578 | Did it ever occur to you that it began when men began to doubt? |
18578 | Did they even claim to have? |
18578 | Did those who proposed that this particular clause or that should enter into it have any proof of their belief? |
18578 | Do I make, then, an extraordinary claim when I say that we are the Evangelical Church, that the church which preaches the gospel is here? |
18578 | Do people believe them? |
18578 | Do we find something else, some other condition of mind, when we come to study carefully the Old Testament? |
18578 | Do we need to go very deeply into human life to discover the profound truth of that saying? |
18578 | Do you believe that God has made this universe so that it is healthier for the masses to live on a lie than it is for them to live on the truth? |
18578 | Do you change the laws of motion? |
18578 | Do you know what it is? |
18578 | Do you know what the trouble was at the time of the French Revolution? |
18578 | Do you know why it works as it does? |
18578 | Do you not see how this admiration transformed the life of the young king, and made him after the type of that which he admired? |
18578 | Do you not see how, in both cases here, it is purely a matter of convention? |
18578 | Do you not see right in there the parallel to the old idea that used to dominate us in regard to the government of the universe? |
18578 | Do you not see that I am talking nonsense? |
18578 | Do you not see that as a truth- seeker in a free world he may not be educated at all? |
18578 | Do you not see that theory may be of immense practical importance in certain contingencies? |
18578 | Do you not see what a necessary corollary would be a belief in their ultimate prosperity and triumph? |
18578 | Do you not see, however, that this so- called education may stand squarely in the way? |
18578 | Do you remember the story of the unjust judge? |
18578 | Do you see the suggestion of the picture? |
18578 | Do you think there is going to be a poorer religion than there has been in the past? |
18578 | Do you think there was no one on that ship that prayed? |
18578 | Does anybody wish something put in the place of this? |
18578 | Does he exert any pressure from outside? |
18578 | Does he fence it in? |
18578 | Does it ever occur to you that commerce is something besides a means for the accumulation of wealth? |
18578 | Does it make any difference how we live these lives of ours? |
18578 | Does it make any difference now whether the farmer has correct ideas about soil and seed and cultivation? |
18578 | Does it make any difference whether he has any true conception of the nature and work of the sunshine in producing this crop? |
18578 | Does it make any difference whether they are doing the right thing for it or not? |
18578 | Does it make no difference what we believe about them? |
18578 | Does it touch the living or the welfare of the world? |
18578 | Does that mean that it ends there? |
18578 | For what does the choice of evil mean? |
18578 | For what is it that we preach? |
18578 | Frankly accepted the truth? |
18578 | Go back to the time of Jesus: do you not remember how the people asked whether any of the scribes or the Pharisees believed on him? |
18578 | Had they considered Darwin''s arguments to find out whether they were true? |
18578 | Has Unitarianism ever taken away any faith or hope or trust from the world? |
18578 | Has anybody ever done it? |
18578 | Has doubt taken away from the glory of the universe? |
18578 | Has doubt touched that, so that it has shrivelled and become as nothing? |
18578 | Has it taken him away from us? |
18578 | Has no one ever prayed on behalf of a ship that did meet with an accident? |
18578 | Has not Jesus told us that your heavenly Father is more ready to give the things which you need than you are to give good gifts to your children? |
18578 | Have I any business to say I have faith that it was written by him, and let it rest there? |
18578 | Have I changed natural laws any? |
18578 | Have we lost the Bible? |
18578 | He begins, we say, to live; and what does that mean? |
18578 | He is not as perfect as an animal; but what has evolution done? |
18578 | Her child is spared, spared for what? |
18578 | Here among the lower animals were what? |
18578 | How can a church prove that its declarations are infallible? |
18578 | How can one follow the absolutely Perfect except afar off? |
18578 | How can we find his words? |
18578 | How did he get over the difficulty? |
18578 | How do I know? |
18578 | How does he succeed here? |
18578 | How does it grow as the world grows? |
18578 | How else should we look at things except from the point of view of men, since we are men? |
18578 | How is it ever going to find the truth? |
18578 | How is it that you produce results anywhere? |
18578 | How long had Comte been dead before we discovered the spectroscope? |
18578 | How long is it going to last? |
18578 | How long? |
18578 | How many men are there that take possession of the intellectual realm that lies around them on every hand? |
18578 | How many men can you get fairly to consider the political position of his opponent? |
18578 | How many men have even a conception of the wonders of the microscopic world? |
18578 | How many of us have risen to the idea of making these grand sentiments the ruling principles of our lives? |
18578 | How many people are there to- day who look with an unprejudiced eye upon a foreigner? |
18578 | How many people can you get fairly to weigh the position of one who occupies a religious home different from their own? |
18578 | How many people think of the torture of the curb bit, of the check, of neglect in the case of cold, of thirst, of hunger? |
18578 | How many people who do leave one church for another do it as the result of any earnest study, or real endeavor to find the truth? |
18578 | How much do the grasses and the flowers have to say to him? |
18578 | How much of all this marvellous realm, or even a suggestion of it, is revealed to the ordinary man as he walks through the field? |
18578 | How much of it is held even by those who, being scholars and thinkers, still hold their allegiance to the old- time theology? |
18578 | How much of that old theory is intact to- day? |
18578 | How would it be possible for one generation to make a little advance on that which preceded it, so that we could speak of the progress of mankind? |
18578 | I break a law of my spiritual nature; does nothing take place as the result of it? |
18578 | I break some law of my affectional nature; is nothing to happen? |
18578 | I break some law of my body; do I escape the result? |
18578 | I break some law of my mind; do I escape the result? |
18578 | I could not think of him as an example to follow; for how can one take the Infinite for an example? |
18578 | I have heard women say, I have tried to be a good mother: why is my child taken away from me? |
18578 | I intimated a moment ago? |
18578 | I want you to note that unity? |
18578 | I wonder why I am treated so? |
18578 | I wondered, Could the chancellor of a great University possibly be ignorant of the facts? |
18578 | IS LIFE A PROBATION ENDED BY DEATH? |
18578 | If all of us were to accept opinions in this sort of fashion, and never put them behind us or make any change, where would the growth of the world be? |
18578 | If an Infinite Power is against me in my efforts to do good, what is the use of my making the effort? |
18578 | If he can not save them, then why should I beg him to do it? |
18578 | If he can, and loves them better than I do, again, why should I plead with him after that fashion to do it? |
18578 | If he knew it was absolutely necessary for us to hold certain ideas about the Bible, ought not he to have told us? |
18578 | If it is true, in the economy of the divine government, that human souls could be saved in no other way, is that good news? |
18578 | If it made no difference whether a man worshipped God intelligently or according to the things Luther thought all wrong, what was the difference? |
18578 | If not, why, then, are these looked upon as the grandest figures since the world began? |
18578 | If so, why are we so foolish as to admire him? |
18578 | If the universe is bad all through, essentially bad, where did he get his moral ideal in the light of which to judge and condemn it? |
18578 | If there are good reasons for holding it, instead of calling names, why not show us the reasons? |
18578 | If they do accept it, then what? |
18578 | If this is not true, ought he not to have told us something about it, and made it perfectly clear? |
18578 | If we hold that theory, what? |
18578 | If we pit ourselves against one of God''s eternal truths, is that truth going to suffer? |
18578 | If you can not say any more than this, here is all that is absolutely necessary to the very noblest life:"Hath man no second life? |
18578 | If, for example, Jesus knew he was God, ought not he to have told it so plainly that no honest man could go astray about it? |
18578 | In the place of the little, petty universe of Hebrew dream, what have we now? |
18578 | In what sense and to what extent do they belong to him? |
18578 | Intellectually, is there any other object of education than to fit a man to find the truth? |
18578 | Is he personal? |
18578 | Is it conceivable that a sane person should intelligently choose evil, unless he had some inherited bias or tendency in that direction? |
18578 | Is it good news? |
18578 | Is it good news? |
18578 | Is it not absurd to talk about their having anything whatever to do with each other? |
18578 | Is it not just this? |
18578 | Is it not perfectly natural you should? |
18578 | Is it not perfectly plain? |
18578 | Is it not the dog? |
18578 | Is it quite honest? |
18578 | Is it sincere? |
18578 | Is it something we would like to believe? |
18578 | Is it true that God is Spirit, and that he is Father of his children, also spirit? |
18578 | Is it wise for us to put ourselves in this attitude? |
18578 | Is it wise for us to put ourselves into such a position that it shall seem criminal and evil for us to accept it? |
18578 | Is it? |
18578 | Is not that the process? |
18578 | Is not this true in every department of human life? |
18578 | Is that the kind of God you worship? |
18578 | Is that your confidence in God? |
18578 | Is there any loss here? |
18578 | Is there any loss here? |
18578 | Is there any loss in this exchange? |
18578 | Is there any need of atonement? |
18578 | Is there any need of atonement? |
18578 | Is there any proof that they knew anything about it? |
18578 | Is there any truth involved? |
18578 | Is there any way of proving it? |
18578 | Is there anything of value taken away? |
18578 | Is there community of nature between him and us? |
18578 | Is there no reason for us to consider it here in this latter part of the nineteenth century? |
18578 | Is there no"punishment"in this deprivation of the highest and finest things that we can conceive of? |
18578 | Is there significance in them, any purpose, any plan, any outcome, to make it worth while for us to struggle and strive? |
18578 | Is this a dead question? |
18578 | Is this quite honest? |
18578 | Is this the way you maintain your credit as business men? |
18578 | Is this the way you use language in Wall Street, in your banks and your stores? |
18578 | Is this way of looking at it confined to primitive man, confined to pagan nations? |
18578 | Is this, if it be true, good news? |
18578 | Is worship, then, so far as external form is concerned, to pass away? |
18578 | It is our business simply to raise the question, and try to answer it or ourselves, Which way must I go to follow the truth? |
18578 | It was earnestly, verily believed; and the doctrine is still taught every time that a new edition of the Presbyterian Confession of Faith? |
18578 | It will broaden itself naturally, if we can not accept that theory of it, into the further question, What is the main end and purpose of our life? |
18578 | Jesus the great atoning sacrifice? |
18578 | MY subject this morning is an attempted answer to the question,"Is Life a Probation ended by Death?" |
18578 | MY theme is the answer to the question, What do you give in place of what you take away? |
18578 | Man wakes up here on this planet what sort of a being? |
18578 | May we then feel that modern doubt does not touch our belief in God? |
18578 | Must I say nothing about it because, possibly, I may not have discovered just what is true? |
18578 | Must he keep still about that because, forsooth, he was not able to establish another theory of the universe in its place? |
