39231Abigail laid her hand on his, her dark eyes glowing with intense earnestness, as she answered:"What need is there of armies and human hands to help?
39231Abigail,"he asked,"do you remember my friend in Nazareth whom I so often speak of,--the son of Joseph the carpenter?
39231And besides what good could you do, my boy?
39231And yet how can I leave you and the little ones alone in these troubled times?
39231Are n''t you glad?
39231Art thou come to destroy us?
39231Believest thou this?"
39231But he paused in the act of handing it to Joel, to ask,"You are sure, now, that your uncle and aunt will consent to such an arrangement?"
39231But what kind of one?
39231But what was it that made her start back terrified, and shrink away trembling?

39231How doth He now say,"I am come down out of heaven"?''
39231I heard him say scornfully:''Is not this the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know?
39231Is n''t that just exactly what you planned; or did you want the pleasure of punching them out yourself?"
39231Is the Lord''s arm shortened that He can not save?

39231Oh, why was I not taken instead of Lazarus?"
39231Oh,_ do_ you think he could make them all right?"
39231Or rather, would you not like to come all the way?
39231Phineas looked searchingly into his face as he replied,"Would you be greatly disappointed, my son, not to go this year?"
39231Phineas, who had been His earliest friend and playfellow, would he not be lifted to the right hand of power?
39231Shall the dead arise again and praise Thee?
39231The roll dropped to the ground, and he hid his face in his hands, crying,"How long must I endure this?
39231Then he turned to Joel to ask,"Did you ever ride on a camel, my boy?"
39231Then why should not my feet be always swift to bring others to Him for the same happy healing?
39231Was there bloodshed and fighting there?
39231What are all these lessons, if not to teach us that the purposes of God do not depend on human hands to work out their fulfilment?"
39231What do you see?"
39231What makes you so different from other people?
39231What''s this one for?"
39231What''s yours?"

39231called little Ruth,"where is you?"
621( 118) Our great American revivalist Finney writes:I said to myself:''What is this?
621( 202) Well, what were its good fruits for Margaret Mary''s life? 621 Heavens, how can I speak of it?
621How are we to conceive,Principal Caird writes,"of the reality in which all intelligence rests?"
621How 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?
621Is there, then,our author continues,"no solution of the contradiction between the ideal and the actual?
621It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do?--deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
621She 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?
621What for?
621What is the answer which Jesus sends to John the Baptist?
621What shall I think of it?
621Wherefore?
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( 333) How indeed could it be otherwise?

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.
621After 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?''
621After this, with difficulty I got to sleep; and when I awoke in the morning my first thoughts were: What has become of my happiness?
621Again, are men the factors of some dream, the dream- like unsubstantiality of which they comprehend at such eventful moments?
621And how should I have cried, since I was swooning with happiness within?
621And 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?
621And in what form should we conceive of that"union"with it of which religious geniuses are so convinced?
621And it being said to her in the going out,_ Where is thy faith?
621And second, What is its importance, meaning, or significance, now that it is once here?
621And second, ought we to consider the testimony true?
621And what could it matter, if all propositions were practically indifferent, which of them we should agree to call true or which false?
621And what had they exactly in their several individual minds, when they delivered their utterances?
621And what then?
621And why may not religion be a conception equally complex?
621Are the men of this world right, or are the saints in possession of the deeper range of truth?
621Are there not hereabouts some points of application for a renovated and revised ascetic discipline?
621Are you any more prepared for heaven, or fitter to appear before the impartial bar of God, than when you first began to seek?
621Are you any nearer to conversion now than when you first began?
621At once I replied,''Will you take the desire away?''
621But I can not keep myself from being either crazy or an idiot; and, as things are, from whom should I ask pity?
621But do you wish, Lord, that I should inclose in poor and barren words sentiments which the heart alone can understand?"
621But how came I, then, to this perception of it?
621But in all seriousness, can such bald animal talk as that be treated as a rational answer?
621But make a mother of her, and what have you?
621But 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?
621But the idea of him, I said, how did I ever come by the idea?
621But verily, how stands it with her arguments?
621But what matters it in the end whether we call such a state of mind religious or not?
621But why in the name of common sense need we assume that only one such system of ideas can be true?
621Can modern idealism give faith a better warrant, or must she still rely on her poor self for witness?
621Can philosophy stamp a warrant of veracity upon the religious man''s sense of the divine?
621Can things whose end is always dust and disappointment be the real goods which our souls require?
621Can you believe it?
621Did I stop to ask a single question?
621Did he not love me?
621Do mystical states establish the truth of those theological affections in which the saintly life has its root?
621Do they deduce a new spiritual judgment from their new doctrine of existential conditions?
621Do they frankly forbid us to admire the productions of genius from now onwards?
621Do we accept it only in part and grudgingly, or heartily and altogether?
621Do you not blush with shame at wishing that a knife should be your master?
621Does God really exist?
621Does it act, as well as exist?
621Does it furnish any_ warrant for the truth_ of the twice- bornness and supernaturality and pantheism which it favors?
621Does this temperamental origin diminish the significance of the sudden conversion when it has occurred?
621Everything in me awoke and received a meaning.... Why do I look farther?
621Finney, what ails you?''
621First of all, then, I ask, What does the expression"mystical states of consciousness"mean?
621First, is there, under all the discrepancies of the creeds, a common nucleus to which they bear their testimony unanimously?
621First, what is the nature of it?
621For what seriousness can possibly remain in debating philosophic propositions that will never make an appreciable difference to us in action?
621Had I not found my God and my Father?
621Had he not called me?
621Has he made religion universal by coercive reasoning, transformed it from a private faith into a public certainty?
621Has he rescued its affirmations from obscurity and mystery?
621Has science made too wide a claim?
621Have I not said the state is utterly beyond words?"
621He came and, placing his hand upon my shoulder, said:''Do you not want to give your heart to God?''
621He then said,''Are you in pain?''
621How can I learn aught when naught I know?
621How can the devotee show his loyalty better than by sensitiveness in this regard?
621How do we part off mystical states from other states?
621How does he exist?
621How is success to be absolutely measured when there are so many environments and so many ways of looking at the adaptation?
621How should you know their true nature, since one knows only what one can comprehend?
621How, then, should we_ act_ on these facts?
621How_ can_ you measure their worth without considering whether the God really exists who is supposed to inspire them?
621I ask you, what is human life?
621I asked them what place that was?
621I feel the pressure of his hand, I feel something else which fills me with a serene joy; shall I dare to speak it out?
621I halted but a moment, and then, with a breaking heart, I said,''Dear Jesus, can you help me?''
621I now turn to my second question: What is the objective"truth"of their content?
621I say God, but why?
621If I, being a wretch and damned sinner, could be redeemed by any other price, what needed the Son of God to be given?
621If it did not, wherein would its superiority consist?
621If one with Omnipotence, how can weariness enter the consciousness, how illness assail that indomitable spark?
621If so, in what shape does it exist?
621If the inner dispositions are right, we ask, what need of all this torment, this violation of the outer nature?
621If the natural world is so double- faced and unhomelike, what world, what thing is real?
621If we are sick souls, we require a religion of deliverance; but why think so much of deliverance, if we are healthy- minded?
621If we can not explain physical light, how can we explain the light which is the truth itself?
621If we were to ask the question:"What is human life''s chief concern?"
621If, then, the entire work is finished, all the debt paid, what remains for me to do?''
621In other words, is the existence of so many religious types and sects and creeds regrettable?
621In our own attitude, not yet abandoned, of impartial onlookers, what are we to say of this quarrel?
621In the healthiest and most prosperous existence, how many links of illness, danger, and disaster are always interposed?
621In the mean time while thus exercised, a thought arose in my mind, what can it mean?
621In what facts does it result?
621Into what definite description can these words be translated, and for what definite facts do they stand?
621Is an instantaneous conversion a miracle in which God is present as he is present in no change of heart less strikingly abrupt?
621Is it necessary, some of you have asked, as one example after another came before us, to be quite so fantastically good as that?
621Is it not surprising that health exists at all?
621Is 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?
621Is not it a maimed happiness-- care and weariness, weariness and care, with the baseless expectation, the strange cozenage of a brighter to- morrow?
621Is not its blessedness a fragile fiction?
621Is not your joy in it a very vulgar glee, not much unlike the snicker of any rogue at his success?
621Is such a"more"merely our own notion, or does it really exist?
621Is the saint''s type or the strong- man''s type the more ideal?
621Is there in life any purpose which the inevitable death which awaits me does not undo and destroy?
621May not voluntarily accepted poverty be"the strenuous life,"without the need of crushing weaker peoples?
621Of what I shall do to- morrow?
621Oh, happy child, what should I do?
621Or how does it assist me to plan my behavior, to know that his happiness is anyhow absolutely complete?
621Or is dogmatic or scholastic theology less doubted in point of fact for claiming, as it does, to be in point of right undoubtable?
621Ought all men to have the same religion?
621Ought it, indeed, to be assumed that the lives of all men should show identical religious elements?
621Ought they to approve the same fruits and follow the same leadings?
621Ought we not, whether we dig or plough or eat, to sing this hymn to God?
621Pray, what specific act can I perform in order to adapt myself the better to God''s simplicity?
621Religion, whatever it is, is a man''s total reaction upon life, so why not say that any total reaction upon life is a religion?
621Severed like cobwebs, broken like bubbles in the sun--"Wo sind die Sorge nun und Noth Die mich noch gestern wollt''erschlaffen?
621She asked always earnestly,''When shall I be perfectly thine, O my God?''
621Should we not love it; should we not feel buoyed up by the Eternal Arms?"
621So what good will it do you to think all your lives,''Oh, I have done evil, I have made many mistakes''?
621The mere possibility of producing milk from grass, cheese from milk, and wool from skins; who formed and planned it?
621The poet says, Dear City of Cecrops; and wilt thou not say, Dear City of Zeus?
621The question, What are the religious propensities?
621The questions"Why?"
621The subject of Saintliness left us face to face with the question, Is the sense of divine presence a sense of anything objectively true?
621The whole feud revolves essentially upon two pivots: Shall the seen world or the unseen world be our chief sphere of adaptation?
621Then 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?
621Then there crept in upon me so gently, so lovingly, so unmistakably, a way of escape, and what was it after all?
621Then what was to me an audible voice said:''Are you willing to give up everything to the Lord?''
621There was a sincerity about this man that carried conviction with it, and I found myself saying,''I wonder if God can save_ me_?''
621These questions"Why?"
621They drew the cord tight with all their strength and asked me,''Does it hurt you?''
621Thy cowl, thy shaven crown, thy chastity, thy obedience, thy poverty, thy works, thy merits?
621To the believer in moralism and works, with his anxious query,"What shall I do to be saved?"
621To what psychological order do they belong?
621Under just what biographic conditions did the sacred writers bring forth their various contributions to the holy volume?
621Under what form will this fear crush me?
621Was there not a Church into which I might enter?...
621We are It already; how to know It?"
621Well, how is it with these fruits?
621Well, what did I do?
621What are we to think of all this?
621What can be more base and unworthy than the pining, puling, mumping mood, no matter by what outward ills it may have been engendered?
621What could I do?
621What have I done to deserve this excess of severity?
621What is he?
621What is it, indeed, that keeps existence exfoliating?
621What is its cash- value in terms of particular experience?
621What is more injurious to others?
621What is the particular truth in question_ known as_?
621What less helpful as a way out of the difficulty?
621What may the practical fruits for life have been, of such movingly happy conversions as those we heard of?
621What more have we to say now than God said from the whirlwind over two thousand five hundred years ago?
621What must I do to please thee?
621What single- handed man was ever on the whole as successful as Luther?
621What then must the person do?
621What will be the outcome of all my life?
621What will be the outcome of what I do to- day?
621What would happen if the final stage of the trance were reached?
621When I came to him he burst into tears and said:''Richard, will you forgive me for striking you?''
621When I waked in the morning, the first thought would be, Oh, my wretched soul, what shall I do, where shall I go?
621When S. had finished his prayer and was turning to sleep, the brother said,''Do you still keep up that thing?''
621When could it be evil when thou wert near?
621When such a conquering optimist as Goethe can express himself in this wise, how must it be with less successful men?
621When we think certain states of mind superior to others, is it ever because of what we know concerning their organic antecedents?
621Whence am I?
621Wherefore did I come?
621Why are twice two four?
621Why can I not write down the inconceivable influences, consolations, and peace which I felt interiorly?
621Why do n''t you manage it somehow?"
621Why does he not say"the atoning work"?''
621Why not simply leave pathological questions out?
621Why regret a philosophy of evil, a mind- curer would ask us, if I can put you in possession of a life of good?
621Why should I do anything?
621Why should I live?
621Why then not call these reactions our religion, no matter what specific character they may have?
621Why would you not let me die?''
621Will you be the slave of a knife or the slave of Jesus Christ?
621Would martyrs have sung in the flames for a mere inference, however inevitable it might be?
621Yet 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?
621Yet how believe as the common people believe, steeped as they are in grossest superstition?
621You 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.
621a common person says to himself about a vexed question; but in a"cranky"mind"What must I do about it?"
621and in what proportion may it need to be restrained by other elements, to give the proper balance?
621and must our means of adaptation in this seen world be aggressiveness or non- resistance?
621and say outright that no neuropath can ever be a revealer of new truth?
621and the question, What is their philosophic significance?
621and"What next?"
621how did it come about?
621in 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.''
621until this came:''Why do you not accept it_ now_?''
621what is its constitution, origin, and history?
621what shall I do now?''
621what shall I do?''
621what shall all these do?
621what shall the law of Moses avail?
45536A nice job you set us at,began Jerry, gayly,"we have just this minute got through; and here it is toward morning somewhere, is n''t it?"
45536And birds? 45536 And can you tell me what your name is?"
45536And so you two are going to take hold and reform the town?
45536And who is that?
45536And, Norm, will you bring them all home to supper with you? 45536 Are n''t these almost as pretty as red ones?"
45536Are you away from your home?
45536Boxes?
45536Bring Jerry, here; you like music, do n''t you, Jerry?
45536But I have nothing to wear?
45536But how could that be done?
45536But what in the world is the trouble? 45536 But where would we get the books and papers?"
45536But with Susie she will not mind, will she? 45536 Ca n''t you answer a question?
45536Ca n''t you raise a few more teaspoons somewhere?
45536Ca n''t you see them?
45536Complimentary? 45536 Could n''t you see by his face that he did?
45536Did he want a nice cool drink?
45536Did they frow him in?
45536Did you burn you, child?
45536Did you come home to help mother?
45536Did you ever see anything so cunning? 45536 Did you have a good time?
45536Difference?
45536Do clothes make such a very great difference to girls?
45536Do n''t they look pretty?
45536Do n''t you know I told you yesterday we must plan a way to earn money? 45536 Do n''t you know what has happened?"
45536Do n''t you think we had better clean house to- day?
45536Do n''t you want some of these nice chips? 45536 Do you know how to make a fire?"
45536Do you know, Jerry, I have been thinking all day of something that I ought to say to you?
45536Do you mean us?
45536Do you mean your mother would let us have the room, and the chance in the kitchen, to go into such business?
45536Do you say her brother is to be at the wedding?
45536Do you think I am making this stick too long for the frame? 45536 Do you think it may take five years to get hold of Norm?"
45536Do you want a room, Jerry?
45536Does He love flowers?
45536Does Norman drink too?
45536Does angels come after all folks that dies?
45536Does he work for his board?
45536Does it appear so from the gallery? 45536 Does n''t he ever drink any of that bad stuff?"
45536Does your old lady look anything like that?
45536Everything done up for the day?
45536Father, can we go to market now? 45536 Father,"said Nettie, in a very low voice,"could n''t you let the man keep the fifty cents, on the account, and that would be a beginning?"
45536For curtains?
45536For the land''s sake, what be you going to do with them?
45536Girls, what are you doing here? 45536 Going over now, Nettie?
45536Going up home, I s''pose?
45536Has father come in?
45536Has your papa got good?
45536Have I kept you waiting?
45536Have you had good luck in fishing?
45536Have you made some?
45536He is a nice man, is n''t he?
45536He makes the flowers blow,she repeated with thoughtful face, then:"What did He make them for?"
45536How came father to begin to drink?
45536How can we? 45536 How did you get''em?
45536How did you like it?
45536How did you make this thing?
45536How do you do?
45536How do you feel now?
45536How do you happen to know so much about him?
45536How do you know any angel would have come for her?
45536How do you know it is true?
45536How does he think I know? 45536 How much is butter?"
45536How much stuff does it take for curtains, anyhow?
45536How?
45536I did not know she was so nearsighted as all that, did you?
45536I do n''t see but they look a good deal alike,said Lorena, tossing her curls;"I''m sure their dresses correspond; is she a sister?"
45536I know it would n''t,said Nettie;"besides, who would make the johnny- cake, and the potato balls?
45536I s''pose it''s safe?
45536I want to know now if that is the little one who went away six, seven years ago, was it? 45536 I want to know what there was hard about it?"
45536I wo n''t eat much,said poor Nettie, trembling and quivering,"and I will try very hard to help; but if you please, what makes things so?
45536I wonder if I am?
45536I wonder who started that absurd story about his father deserting him?
45536I wonder why?
45536I''ll tell you what it is, Nettie, we shall have a pretty busy afternoon if we carry out our plans, wo n''t we? 45536 Is Susie good?"
45536Is a fiddle the only kind of music you like?
45536Is he?
45536Is it much, father?
45536Is it so late as that?
45536Is n''t she a queer little object?
45536Is that so? 45536 Is that the reason she wo n''t go to the flower show next week?"
45536Made some what, Curly?
45536May I come in, father?
45536May I expect you?
45536May I have some of that, father? 45536 Mr. Sherrill, you remember Myers, your college classmate?
45536Norm,he said,"wo n''t you help me carry home that tray?
45536Now we are partners-- Nettie Decker and Jerry Mack, who knows what we can do? 45536 O, no,"said Nettie,"he has gone to work; but I mean-- I meant-- doesn''t it all seem to you of no use at all?
45536Oh, yes, and what does that amount to? 45536 See here, Nettie, what is the matter with your father?
45536See here, do you understand about this firm business; it must be you and me, you know?
45536See what?
45536Soap?
45536That is so, I suppose,he said thoughtfully;"and they do n''t make carpets out of boxes, nor with saws and hammers, do they?
45536The woman who lives in the cottage where the vines climb all around the front, and who has birds, and a baby? 45536 Then what are we to do, Jerry?
45536They are sort of charity schools, are they not?
45536Through, Nettie? 45536 Till when?"
45536Very well,said Ermina promptly,"I am sure mamma will like them; could you carry them down now?
45536Was it nice?
45536Well, Nan, my girl, you have grown into a fine young lady, have you? 45536 Well, Nannie,"he said,"got your fusses and fixings all ready?"
45536Well, Neighbor Decker, these young folks of ours are busy people, ai n''t they, and seem to be getting the upper hand of us?
45536Well, but, darling, what made you promise, when you knew we had no flowers? 45536 Well, go on; what then?"
45536Well, if good is n''t going to come of it, do we want to do it?
45536Well, now, I should like to know why not? 45536 Well, what do they use for curtains?"
45536Well, what is a fellow to do? 45536 Well, will you?"
45536Well,said Norm,"I do n''t care; I''ll help; but how are we going to get the things out here?"
45536What are we talking about?
45536What are you staring at?
45536What are you talking about?
45536What became of that little Irish boy she used to be so fond of-- Jerry, his name was?
45536What did you do it for?
45536What do they want of that thing at the church?
45536What do you know about money, or want with it?
45536What do you think?
45536What does he say?
45536What have you thought of? 45536 What is it?"
45536What is that?
45536What is that?
45536What is unbleached muslin? 45536 What made Him put the colors on them?
45536What of it? 45536 What of it?
45536What party is this coming down the street? 45536 What shall we do?"
45536What was it Mr. Sherrill wanted of you just as we were coming out?
45536What''ll your mother say to your bringing folks home to supper?
45536What''s all this?
45536What''s that?
45536What? 45536 What?"
45536What?
45536When he comes after you and takes you away, what will I do?
45536Where did you get the table, and the gimcracks around that chair? 45536 Where did you get them?"
45536Where did you get''em, Norm? 45536 Where does mother keep the bread, and other things?"
45536Where is the old woman?
45536Where? 45536 Who are you?"
45536Who is General McClintock?
45536Who is Joe Decker? 45536 Who is it?"
45536Who is that?
45536Why did he pretend he was somebody else?
45536Why did n''t Daniel shut up the window just as_ tight_, and not let anybody know it when he said his prayers?
45536Why did n''t you wear your own shoes?
45536Why do n''t you ask me to go?
45536Why not, pray? 45536 Why not?
45536Why not? 45536 Why should I take it for granted that he is going to waste all his money?"
45536Why, out on the pike about a mile; that nice white house set back from the road a piece; do n''t you know? 45536 Why, what do you wear on Sundays, I should like to know?
45536Why, where could he take you? 45536 Why, yes,"said Nettie,"I see he likes it; but what is the use in knowing people''s tastes if you can not possibly do anything for them?"
45536Why?
45536Will we put these on in the morning?
45536Will you be a good girl, and let me love you?
45536Will you go with me, father, to buy the shoes? 45536 Wo n''t you tell me if your name is Satie Decker?"
45536Wo n''t you tell me where father is? 45536 Would n''t Norm and his two friends go too?"
45536Would the others go?
45536You dear little mouse, what sent you out in such a storm?
45536You did not think that Norm was going to reform the very minute you did anything pleasant for him, did you?
45536You have n''t begun school yet, have you? 45536 A good deal of arithmetic had been spent on the question: How low can we possibly sell this, and not actually lose money by it? 45536 And the boys, who would have sneered at_ his_ setting himself up in business, answered:What, the little chap who lives at Smith''s?
45536And what about the chairs?"
45536And what if he does?
45536And what was that she was saying, over and over?
45536And what would Jerry think?
45536Anyhow, we are friends, and will stand by each other through thick and thin, wo n''t we?"
45536Are my eyes as crooked as that?
45536Are n''t they the very splendidest people you ever knew in your life?"
45536Are they for you to wear?"
45536Are they your little sisters, Mr. Decker?
45536Are you Irish, Jerry?"
45536Are you acquainted with these girls?
45536Are you going to fat them all, to eat; or raise some of them to lay eggs?"
45536At his first pause she broke forth:"Did He mean you, papa, when He said''Come unto Me''?
45536At last, one bolder than the rest, stepped towards her:"Little girl, where did you come from?
45536Been selling tickets for the show, or piling chairs, or what?"
45536Besides, where were father and mother?
45536Boys like to meet together and talk things over, you know, and have a good time, and how are some of them going to do it?
45536Burt?"
45536But it seems sort of queer to have her come into our class, does n''t it?
45536But meantime she knew very well that she could not go back home that night, and the present terror was, where was she to sleep?
45536But what did you mean about Norm?
45536But what do you want of them?
45536But what made her suddenly speak her bit of news, interrupting the young planners?
45536But what would it eat?"
45536By the way, I wonder if these are her flowers?
45536Ca n''t father get work?"
45536Ca n''t you give a fellow a reason for things?
45536Can not you?"
45536Can you come every Sabbath, do you think?
45536Certainly Susie had kept Norm at home all the afternoon; but was she also likely to accomplish it for the evening?
45536Come up in the loft, will you, and see my tool chest?"
45536Could n''t he stop drinking the stuff whenever he liked?
45536Could n''t she contrive to coax some of the money from his keeping into hers?
45536Could n''t they have waited until she got out of the way, so that she need not have known how dreadful they were?
45536Could n''t we go home this way and make it shorter?"
45536Could n''t you go with us, for just a little while?
45536Could she ever creep around in the dark and hide away from her own_ father_?
45536Could you go?"
45536Did I tell you Norman was engaged to Ermina Farley?
45536Did he distinguish himself in any way?
45536Did he pick her up on the street somewhere, and would he be angry, and not let Nettie take her to church any more?
45536Did he really buy the things, child, and pay for them?
45536Did it mean that her step- mother hated her, and had taught the children to do so?
45536Did n''t I tell you that was what my father was always saying to me?
45536Did n''t they know she was within hearing?
45536Did n''t we call her Nan?
45536Did n''t you know that?
45536Did n''t you miss me?
45536Did n''t you think I would be here to- day, ma''am?"
45536Did she really have no dinner, Susie?
45536Did the sentence end in a sigh, or did Nettie imagine it?
45536Did they do it?
45536Did they really attach so much importance to the clothes they wore as to think no one was respectable who was not dressed like them?
45536Did you ask him to?
45536Did you ever see a girl in our class before, with a gingham dress on?
45536Did you ever see anything more lovely?"
45536Did you hear them come in last night?
45536Did you know anything of it, daughter?"
45536Did you know he liked it so much?"
45536Did you think of them too?"
45536Do n''t you know she is old Joe Decker''s daughter?"
45536Do n''t you remember that old hen and chickens he bought?
45536Do n''t you see them a little bit of a speck, Nannie?"
45536Do n''t you see?
45536Do n''t you think Norm would like it to have them asked home with him to supper, and show them how to have a real good time?
45536Do n''t you think so?"
45536Do n''t you wish we could get hold of him so close that he would help us?
45536Do you know what I mean, darling?
45536Do you know who it is, Decker?"
45536Do you love your papa when he is good?"
45536Do you promise?"
45536Do you think He can be going to call her soon?"
45536Do you think Jerry would help us?"
45536Do you think he was going to own that"this kind of thing"had never been enjoyed in his home before, during all the years of his recollection?
45536Do you understand?"
45536Does He like to see pretty colors, do you sink?
45536Eh, my friend?"
45536Ermina, will you and Nettie take care of her this afternoon, and see that she is happy?"
45536Father moved in the spring, you know, so instead of my coming back early in the spring as I expected, I never came until now?
45536Furniture?
45536Girls, are n''t they too lovely for anything?
45536Had n''t she been through it many times?
45536Had n''t she tried her very best and failed?
45536Had she been naughty, and was it making him feel bad?
45536Had they really no hearts, so that it made no difference to them how deeply they wounded poor Nettie Decker?
45536Has Jerry gone wild with excitement?
45536Has Miss Sherrill seen her?
45536Has anything happened to- day that I have n''t heard of?
45536Has he gone away anywhere?"
45536Has n''t he any home at all?
45536Have I done anything to make you ashamed of me?
45536Have you ever had any instrument, Decker?"
45536Have you some to- day for sale?"
45536How are you going to make furniture out of boxes?
45536How came her father to be so poor?
45536How can that be?
45536How could a daughter put it into words that her mother was afraid her father would lead his son astray?
45536How could it be stopped?
45536How could she coax him to go with her?
45536How could she ever forgive herself for having encouraged the intimacy between him and the Deckers?
45536How could she help being sick if she had to sleep in such a place as that?
45536How could she keep him?
45536How did our work look by gaslight?"
45536How did they get the money to buy their things?
45536How much would that be, Jerry?
45536How should the delicate matter be managed?
45536How was it ever to be gotten to the church?
45536How would that do?"
45536I ai n''t seen him notice them so much in a year; and he has n''t been drinking a mite, has he?"
45536I heard you speaking of fish, Miss Barstow, and wondering whether I would not supply your people?
45536I hope you have enjoyed your first day at Sabbath- school?"
45536I hope you remember Mrs. Speckle?
45536I mean, how much does it cost?"
45536I most know we can coax him to give them both up; and then wo n''t that be nice?"
45536I remember them, of course; do n''t you know what fun we used to make of Nettie?
45536I say, Norm, you''re a sly one; why did n''t you ever let on that you had this kind of thing?"
45536I suppose you want to plan for winter, too?
45536I wonder if you can think what a strange contrast she was to everything around her?
45536I wonder what makes the difference between them and other folks?"
45536I''ll tell you what it is, Nettie, say we start a society, you and I, and fight this whole thing?
45536I''m glad, because it gives us a hint as to what his tastes are; do n''t you see?"
45536I''ve promised to run the thing for them in the evening awhile; I suppose you''ll patronize them?"
45536I_ know_ he is on our side in this business, do n''t you?"
45536If I had taken your word last night the wreaths would have looked better, would n''t they?
45536If for nothing else, why did n''t Norm sleep in it, instead of in that dreadful unfinished attic where the rats must certainly have full sweep?
45536If the Heaven she used to hear about when she was a little girl, was all so, why should she not long for Susie and Sate to go there?
45536Is Nan Decker coming home?
45536Is it a bargain?"
45536Is it worth while to join the mad rush for the lottery; or to take the old road to slow success?
45536Is it you that has fixed up things so?
45536Is it your brother who does n''t like it?"
45536Is n''t it a mean thing, now, that the father of such a little girl as that should go and disgrace her?"
45536Is n''t it a shame that such a nice- looking boy is deserted in that way, and left to run with all sorts of people?"
45536Is n''t it a shame that they have got ahead of us in that kind of way?"
45536It is one big attic, ai n''t it, where Norm sleeps?
45536It really seems as though the Lord must have had a good deal to do with it, does n''t it?
45536It was addressed to boys, who were just beginning to like the taste of hard cider, and spruce beer, and hop bitters, and all those harmless(?)
45536It would be more work, but what of that?
45536Jerry do n''t know anything about the carpet rolled up in tobacco in the box in the garret; why should he think that I could help?
45536Jerry with some difficulty elbowed his way towards her, his face beaming, and said,"Is n''t it splendid?"
45536Jerry, why could n''t we begin, just with that?
45536Little Sate and Susie?"
45536Look here, do n''t you believe that if we are to do this thing and good is to come from it, we shall be able to manage it somehow?"
45536Lorena Barstow, did you ever see such a queer- looking fright?"
45536Lorena Barstow, what did you want to go and say she was an Irish girl for?"
45536May I bring you the tea, ma''am?
45536May I teach her, Mrs. Decker, and see if I can get her to learn it?"
45536Mr. Decker heard this, and something, what was it?
45536My brother Dick, you remember him?
45536My sister is going to try some new music for a few friends, at that time; suppose you come and pick out your favorite?"
45536Nettie asked, and he replied pettishly:"Much?
45536No?
45536Now do n''t they look exactly as though they were planning something?"
45536Now shall we take another line of the hymn?"
45536Now what I was wondering is, where are they going to put you to sleep?
45536Now what is your news?"
45536Now what shall we go at first?
45536Now what was the matter with all these disagreeable young people?
45536Of course she could not, he said to himself;"Is n''t that our opening evening?"
45536Oh, I wonder if little Sate would not recite a verse about the daisy grandmothers?
45536One thing was troubling her; as soon as she could, she followed her mother into the yard and questioned,"Do you know where Norm is?"
45536Only, what was there for her to do, and how should she begin?
45536Or did he, passing, spy her in the churchyard and come in for her?"
45536Or the daughter of a drunkard?
45536Or why did not her mother move in there with the trundle bed, instead of being cooped up in that small bedroom?
45536Or why had they not prepared it for her to sleep in, if they really did not want it for anything else?
45536Poor little girlie, was she frightened?
45536Said Jerry,"Where do you think Norm is to take me this evening?"
45536Sate dear, would you give one little old woman to me?
45536Say, girls, did you ever notice what fine eyes that boy has who came in with her?
45536See my curls, and see my new apron, only she says it is a dress, but it ai n''t; it is made just like Jennie Brown''s apron, ai n''t it?
45536Shall I bring them now?
45536Shall you, Jerry?"
45536She bent toward Susie, smiling as brightly as she could, and said:"Did n''t you know, little girlie, that I was your sister Nettie?
45536She does n''t belong to the schools?"
45536She had n''t done it lately, but whose fault was that, she should like to know?
45536She had not money enough to get there, but could n''t she work somehow, and earn money?
45536She is pretty, is n''t she?"
45536She needed it, and why not say it?
45536She watched the disposal of her roses, then gave an inquiring glance about the grounds as she said,"What are you all doing here?"
45536She winked and motioned Nettie into the bedroom and whispered:"Do n''t you believe he might like to see the children in their nice clothes?
45536Should she kiss him?
45536Should she tell him good- night?
45536Should she venture to suggest it?
45536Should you think he would?"
45536Tablecloths?
45536The new comer turned to the elder of the two children, and spoke in a gentle winning voice:"Little girl, do you live here-- in this house?"
45536The next question was, Where to put them?
45536The question is, where are the cotton and calico to come from?"
45536The question was, How could she help to bring it about?
45536The upper part of that house ai n''t finished off, is it?
45536Then Judge Barstow in good- humored tones to Jerry:"My boy, do n''t you think you would find it quite as pleasant down there among the others?
45536Then Nettie, flushed and eager, said:"O father, then you can show me how to do it, ca n''t you?
45536Then the minister, who seemed to understand things without having them explained, said,"Where is Decker?
45536Then what about the strong angel?
45536Then what in the world was she to do?
45536Then what was this about there being no room for her?
45536This class is n''t the place for that girl; I wonder who invited her in?
45536This little girl does n''t want to be up here, I am sure; suppose you both go down and fall behind the procession?
45536This was what he said:"Do n''t you need those lilies to help trim the room to- morrow night?
45536Those girls looked a trifle like peacocks, did n''t they?
45536To be sure she knew that her father was poor; what of that?
45536To whom was he speaking and what old woman could he mean?
45536Understand?"
45536Was He calling you, all the time?
45536Was Susie a witch, or a selfish little girl?
45536Was he a drunkard?
45536Was he crying still?
45536Was he ever good?
45536Was he in our set?"
45536Was it because she was afraid her father would not let her take Sate and Susie to church any more?
45536Was it possible that her father talked in this way to his wife?
45536Was n''t he her father?
45536Was there any way of planning so that the front room in the Decker house could have a carpet?
45536Was there possibly something sometime that she could do for him?
45536Was there somebody in this town who could be asked to come to the rescue, and who was willing to give such hearty help as that?
45536We''ll have these fish sizzling in a pan quicker than you have any notion of; and she knows how to sizzle them just right; does n''t she, Jerry?"
45536Well, you do n''t care much about the flower party, I suppose?"
45536What about Jerry?
45536What ailed the boy?
45536What better was there to do than follow the voice?
45536What business is she here, anyway?
45536What could be used that would do, and how much would they cost?"
45536What did Norm intend to do a little later in the day?
45536What did it all mean?
45536What did it all mean?
45536What did it mean that they looked so neglected and dirty?
45536What do you think about it?"
45536What do you think was the minister''s text on that evening?
45536What does that cost?"
45536What does your mother say about the room?"
45536What grade are you in?"
45536What had they not done for her?
45536What if you was to make two, and I''d get cloth enough for two, and she would do mine and hers, to pay for the cloth?"
45536What in the world can you mean?
45536What in the world do you want here?"
45536What is she coming for?
45536What kind of a carpet could it be that was offered to her for simply the price of the weaving?
45536What makes the difference?"
45536What makes you glad?
45536What makes you make such a big angel?
45536What more natural than for a child to ask for money just then and there?
45536What of it?"
45536What put such a notion as that into your head, and what do you want of furniture, anyhow?"
45536What was I telling you?
45536What was his object in deceiving us all?"
45536What was it for?"
45536What was it which made her at that moment think of a bit of news which she had heard while at the milliner''s?
45536What was the matter with her father these days, and how long was anything going to last?
45536What was the matter with those fellows, he wondered, that they were not more cordial?
45536What was the matter?
45536What was the use in telling that?
45536What was the use in trying to protect a boy who was so indifferent as that?
45536What was the use of staying here?
45536What was there she could do to keep him from lounging down street?
45536What was this?
45536What was to be done?
45536What will you have first in my line?
45536What would you do if you could?"
45536What''s this?
45536When did they begin it?
45536Where are you going?
45536Where could father be?
45536Where did you get them cakes?"
45536Where did you get them?
45536Where had the children learned such words?
45536Where have you been all night?"
45536Where is Norm?
45536Where was the broom?
45536Where was the dishcloth?
45536Where would the new housekeeper find them?
45536Where''s your mother?"
45536Where, I wonder, and what with?
45536Where?
45536Which color does He like just the very bestest of all?"
45536Who arranged them?"
45536Who came?
45536Who could tell when he would be willing again?
45536Who did it?
45536Who is that boy?"
45536Who is that, do you s''pose?"
45536Who knows but she is a pretty good ironer?
45536Who knows?
45536Who thought of it?
45536Who told you?"
45536Who would have supposed it could grow as it did?
45536Why ca n''t we?"
45536Why did he call himself Jerry Mack?
45536Why did n''t they wait a little later, I wonder?
45536Why did not some of them come?
45536Why did she feel, someway, as though she stood on the very edge of something which startled and almost frightened her?
45536Why do n''t you wear gingham dresses, and cheap ribbons, and cotton gloves, if you think they look as well as nice ones?"
45536Why does n''t Ermina go down on Paddy Lane and invite the whole tribe of Irish if she is so fond of them?"
45536Why had he not stayed at home to welcome his little girl?
45536Why had not she helped her to bear her heavy burden, instead of almost sulking over failure?
45536Why not treat it as a matter of course?
45536Why not?
45536Why not?
45536Why should her father cry?
45536Why should n''t they go in?
45536Why should she want to live to be a drunkard''s daughter, and a drunkard''s sister?
45536Why should they now?
45536Why was her father staying so long in the choked- up bedroom?
45536Why was n''t it used?
45536Why, Ermina, what wee mousie have you here?"
45536Why, do n''t you know he has joined the church?
45536Why, there is that Irish boy; I wonder if he would n''t sell us some fish?
45536Why, you ca n''t do a single thing without money; and where is it to come from?"
45536Will you help?"
45536Will you let me give you a couple of tickets for the concert to- morrow evening; and will you and your brother come to hear me sing?
45536Will you shoulder an end with me?"
45536Will you tell me whether you have tea or coffee?"
45536Wo n''t that be lovely?
45536Wo n''t that be the way, mother?"
45536Wo n''t you please come, father?"
45536Wo n''t you?"
45536Would he be likely ever to go there?
45536Would her father be likely to let her go?
45536Would n''t it be possible for her to go back home?
45536Would n''t that be a fine thing to do?"
45536Would n''t you stop it quick enough if you could?
45536Would they have had you wear it dirty?"
45536Would you be real good to it?"
45536Would your mother let us have it?"
45536You are n''t in dead earnest?"
45536You did n''t know it, did you?
45536You do n''t wonder?
45536You think it was enough to disgust anybody?
45536You''ve got acquainted with Jerry, I guess?
45536_ Is_ that a chair, or a sofa, or what?
45536after molasses?
45536and When?
45536and Why?"
45536and did you tell Him you would?"
45536did n''t the mother say it was harder for her than though they had n''t tried at all?
45536do n''t you think it is too late?"
45536do you remember those two cunning little girls?
45536does he?"
45536her voice faltered a little over that word;"maybe you can show me where to put my trunk; do you know which is to be my room?"
45536interrupted Jerry in bewilderment;"well, what of that?
45536or mother?"
45536or,"Where in the world is the bread knife?"
45536said Lorena, giving them a disagreeable stare,"in white, are they?
45536said Nettie thoughtfully;"I mean, I wonder why it is so much harder to say things of that kind than it is to speak about anything else?"
45536said Nettie,"I mean to tell Norm to let him have two snaps, would n''t you?"
45536she tried to turn comforter; tried to think of one cheering word to say; but what was there to cheer the wife of a drunkard?
45536then will you make the one who will come for my papa?
45536what would she pay with?
45536what would those children say or do, and what would happen next?
12662And are all four of us expected to occupy this one room?
12662And should we go to the meetings?
12662And what then?
12662And what were they doing down below? 12662 And you like to be made to feel like a''perfect simpleton?''
12662Are not the most of them professing Christians?
12662Are we strangers?
12662Are we supposed to be devoted to all these meetings? 12662 Are you going to the lecture?"
12662Are you going to visit the Holy Land this morning, and may I be of your party?
12662Are you going to write out your report for the paper? 12662 Are you going?"
12662Are you looking for work to do for the Master?
12662Are you really going?
12662Are you the''good nephew''that your aunt said thought these meetings only a step below paradise?
12662But do you suppose it is really an accurate outline?
12662But how can you be_ sure_ of that? 12662 But what about the Sunday- school?"
12662But, my dear madam, what justice is there in that? 12662 By the way, are the Arnotts in Saratoga?
12662Ca n''t we go to the meeting, girls, and look for the tent afterward? 12662 Ca n''t we have one of the tents on that side near the stand?"
12662Come, Flossy,she said;"where in the world are you?
12662Curiosity is at the bottom of your wise thought, is it? 12662 Did n''t I limit my question?"
12662Did you ever hear about a wonderful spring that used to cure people?
12662Did you know that Sunday- school lessons were such remarkable affairs? 12662 Did you take it?"
12662Did you tell her I was going?
12662Did_ he_ live in Bethany? 12662 Do n''t people''s bodies get well sometimes?
12662Do n''t you know you declared that was too much like work, and you had n''t an idea of learning anything?
12662Do n''t you like him ever so much, Ruth?
12662Do n''t you see?
12662Do n''t you think so?
12662Do you feel that?
12662Do you find it so?
12662Do you have to bring work to Chautauqua with you?
12662Do you know I have a mission for you? 12662 Do you really think it has any practical value?"
12662Do you see,she said, turning eagerly,"that these are Bible references on each tablet?
12662Do you suppose that when Flossy has to die she will be troubled lest it may not be the fashion for young ladies to die that season?
12662Do you think he said Mayville?
12662Do you think you will take the 10:50 train, Ruth?
12662Does he, I wonder?
12662Does n''t it feel forlorn?
12662Eurie,Ruth had said,"where is your head ache bottle that you boast so much of?
12662Eurie,she said,"are you asleep, or are you enjoying Flossy''s last new departure?"
12662Flossy Shipley, what do you mean?
12662Foolish?
12662Grand meeting, is n''t it? 12662 Has n''t it to you?"
12662Have n''t you been at Chautauqua long enough to catch one of its cardinal rules, never to stay at home for rain?
12662Have they exhausted you already?
12662Have you been hired as an exhorter?
12662Have you been there to see?
12662Have you found out?
12662Have you found the Father''s presence yet?
12662How could anything look the same to her?
12662How could she?
12662How did you do it?
12662How did you think he looked?
12662How do you do this morning?
12662How do you do?
12662How do you do?
12662How do you know about him?
12662How do you know it happened?
12662How do you know it was?
12662How long is it since you settled this question for yourself?
12662How on earth do you manage to keep so thoroughly posted in regard to Chautauqua affairs? 12662 How soon will that be, I wonder?"
12662How will we find out? 12662 How?"
12662I beg pardon,he said, speaking rapidly,"but this is Miss Rider?"
12662I beg pardon,she said,"but is n''t this Miss Erskine?
12662I did n''t know you were to be here; I''m real glad to see you again, and what about the husband and the dear boy?
12662I liked him of course; how could I help it? 12662 I wonder if he is a man whom I have any special desire to hear?"
12662I wonder if he realizes what a blessed thing it is to be circled with prayer?
12662I wonder if his sermons sound like that? 12662 I wonder if there are different degrees of moral blindness?"
12662I wonder what that is supposed to be?
12662I wonder what those normal classes are like?
12662I wonder who Mary A. Lathbury is?
12662I wonder who he is?
12662Is n''t Mrs. Clark delightful? 12662 Is n''t that your favorite employment when you are awake, Eurie?
12662Is n''t this her tent? 12662 Is that all that Webster says?"
12662It is a year, is n''t it? 12662 It would be_ so_ easy to drop into a household box the price of an apple, or a paper, or a glass of peanuts, and yet who does it?
12662Let me see, this is the morning of the second day, is it not?
12662May I give you to- night one word more of gospel invitation? 12662 May I venture to prophesy that you have some friend here whom you would give much to feel had been drawn here by the very Spirit of God?"
12662Miss Erskine is n''t a member of the church, is she?
12662Of course we have got to die, and everybody knows it; and what I say is, should you be afraid if it were to- night, you know?
12662Oh, are you going to the museum?
12662Shall we laugh, or cry?
12662Spiritual results,she said to herself, and a smile hovered over her face-- what_ were_"spiritual results?"
12662That speaks well for the interest, or the fun, does n''t it? 12662 That was Jesus, was n''t it?
12662The fifth chapter and fifteenth verseof what?
12662The guest tents?
12662The question is, are we to take trunks-- or, rather, are you to? 12662 The very night we came, Marion, and you made me come to the meeting in the rain, you remember?
12662Then do you take it to be their religion which inclines you to trust to their word, without having an individual acquaintance with them?
12662Then is not to- day a good time to commence? 12662 Then please get me one of the''Bliss''singing books, will you?
12662Was it long?
12662Was you sick in bed when you came?
12662We have n''t been to one of those, have we? 12662 Well, if she teaches them to tumble out on the right side so that they will come up grand men and women, what then?
12662Well, that is worth hearing; and have you heard him talk?
12662Well, why not?
12662What about Miss Shipley? 12662 What about Saratoga?"
12662What about those two?
12662What are we going to do?
12662What can he possibly make of such a subject as that?
12662What can you possibly find to keep you gazing out of that window? 12662 What class of people do you mean who are given to doing as they have agreed?
12662What did I tell you? 12662 What did you expect?
12662What do you mean?
12662What has moved you to be eloquent? 12662 What if it has?
12662What in the name of sense takes you?
12662What in the world did you expect, Ruthie? 12662 What is it?"
12662What is so glaringly inappropriate about it if they really believe the Bible? 12662 What is the proper word for that, school- ma''am?
12662What is the sense in a woman talking in that way? 12662 What is the subject this morning?"
12662What is the subject?
12662What is the use in fault- finding?
12662What is the use in saying anything? 12662 What is this?"
12662What is to be next?
12662What is your private explanation of the word''hotel''?
12662What its proper at a dance in very improper coming home from prayer- meeting, do n''t you see?
12662What of it?
12662What of it?
12662What on earth did she say?
12662What on earth is the point then? 12662 What on earth is there to be frightened over?
12662What proportion of that class of people are here, do you think?
12662What was that for?
12662What wonderful lesson can it be that is so fearfully important?
12662What_ are_ you going to do then?
12662What_ are_ you talking about?
12662What_ is_ the matter now?
12662What_ shall_ I wear?
12662When did the president leave?
12662When was that?
12662Where are the drunken men?
12662Where did you make his acquaintance?
12662Where is Jamestown?
12662Where is the Miller party?
12662Where shall we learn what God thinks of it? 12662 Where?"
12662Where?
12662Which designs them, the blue eyes or the curls?
12662Which question shall I answer first? 12662 Who ever heard such an ado made about a Sunday- school lesson?
12662Who is to blame that you can not all be addressed as_ workers_ for Christ? 12662 Who''s who?"
12662Why ca n''t we have one of those in that row on the hill?
12662Why did n''t it cure but one?
12662Why did n''t they have a speaker ready to address this throng, instead of keeping us waiting here with nothing to entertain us?
12662Why do n''t you go to Sunday- school?
12662Why in the name of sense do n''t you come to bed?
12662Why not?
12662Why?
12662Why?
12662Wo n''t Miss Mitchell read it to us?
12662Would you like to rest? 12662 You are from Chautauqua?"
12662You did n''t like him,she said,"did you?
12662You do not remember me?
12662You miss most of the meetings, do you not?
12662You people are going to reap a fine harvest, pecuniarily, to- morrow; but how about the fourth commandment? 12662 You will never think of trying to travel to- day, will you, Ruth?
12662Your aunt, for instance?
12662''Ben,''said his dirty- faced visitor, bending over him,''you''re pretty bad ai n''t you?
12662''Ca n''t you take this tune,''I said,''just where I leave it, and finish it for me as I have it in my heart to do?
12662''Did you know there was a man once named Jesus Christ?
12662''Hear him speak?''
12662''No; who is he?''
12662''What in the world can you be talking about?''
12662''Will he do it?''
12662A struggle?
12662After all, why should she_ not_ be afraid of death?
12662After that, what hope was there for Charlie Flint and his small talk?
12662After what, I wonder?"
12662Am I going to Chautauqua, do you mean?
12662And I wonder if there is no such thing now?
12662And could n''t I thank you then, and tell you how glad I was, just the same as though I had it in my hand?
12662And do n''t you know how clearly Dr. Niles made it appear that there was a special work for each one?"
12662And if God did not make everything, who did?
12662And in the third place-- But perhaps you do not care to hear all the reasons?"
12662And is he dead?
12662And is n''t it blessed?
12662And the result?
12662And then, again, Ruth''s astonishment was in part lost in that absorbing question:"How did you get to be one?"
12662And was n''t it an unanswerable argument?
12662And yet Marion Wilbur rose up at its close, with cheeks aglow not only with tears, but smiles; and the question,"Will God ever forgive sin?"
12662And yet, when she came to think of it, was n''t she?
12662And you have a party with you?
12662And you surely will not argue that the Association has not a right to limit the number of guests that it will entertain over the Sabbath?"
12662And, above all, why did she care what it meant, when she had been happy all her life before without knowing or thinking anything about it?
12662Are they not strong enough?"
12662Are we among a party of witches, do you suppose?
12662Are you a teacher for next Sunday?
12662Are you going to hear about John Knox?
12662Are you going?"
12662Are you ready?
12662Are you ready?
12662Believe in religion?
12662Ben, do you ever pray?''
12662But I ca n''t tell you how it is: do n''t you know there are some things that you are sure of that you ca n''t explain?
12662But I mean, are you hopeful as to the reaching of many of the unconverted, or do you consider its work chiefly among us?"
12662But I meant, is that all he says about hotels?
12662But do you remember with whom her morning had commenced?
12662But do you think he thought himself good?
12662But now, what about Ruth Erskine?
12662But of course she must tell them, for what good else would the story do?
12662But the point is, what do I want to go for?"
12662But was it not strange, the way in which her education was being cared for?
12662But what could she do?
12662But what right had they to suppose that we had not the money to pay for what we wish?
12662But what right has he to say that_ that_ is an indication of a weak mind?"
12662But what_ can_ we do?
12662But would he bring something to help Flossy?
12662But, was n''t he logical and eloquent?"
12662But_ first_ it is this question: Am I my own mistress?
12662Christian people, do you refer to?"
12662Come, shall we take the three o''clock boat?"
12662Could American ambition reach higher?
12662Could anything be more reasonable?
12662Could it be possible that it was written only yesterday?
12662Could she honestly tell that it might not lead to a judgment that should call her to account for her non- religious influence over her scholars?
12662Deems?"
12662Did it look to others than Marion a strange way to live?
12662Did n''t he say that was Dr. Hart''s estimate, Ruthie?
12662Did n''t it suit?
12662Did n''t she love Christ?
12662Did n''t you bring anything suited to the rain?
12662Did n''t you bring it with you, and do n''t you prepare a list for each day''s use?"
12662Did she actually believe these things for which she had been contending?
12662Did this resolution that she had made put her among the_ workers_?
12662Did you agree with the young gentleman?"
12662Did you ever be told about him?''
12662Did you ever hear yourself prayed for by an earnest, reverent, pleading voice?
12662Did you ever_ see_ anything like the way the people come here, anyhow?"
12662Did you feel just as you did before?"
12662Did you know that was at the bottom of most sarcasm, my dear?"
12662Do I really think that all these men gathered here are either deceived or deceivers?
12662Do any of you know anything about Dr. Walden?
12662Do n''t some of you want to join us?
12662Do n''t you know that you must n''t get up conversations with strange young men in that fashion?"
12662Do n''t you know we read his book aloud at the seminary?
12662Do n''t you see what I want?''"
12662Do n''t you see?
12662Do n''t you see?
12662Do n''t you suppose the child can see that it is the fashion of the place?
12662Do n''t you think that is selfish?"
12662Do n''t you?"
12662Do they just read verses in the Bible?"
12662Do you honestly think that_ you_, Ruth Erskine, have anything to be saved from?
12662Do you know Dr. Parsons, of Boston?
12662Do you know his grace?
12662Do you know his love?
12662Do you know his power?
12662Do you really feel as deeply as you pretended to that man, on all these questions of the Chautauqua conscience?
12662Do you really miss me?
12662Do you really suppose it will be worth while?"
12662Do you remember that little boy in the garret, how he turned his face to the wall and asked God to save him?
12662Do you suppose I am going to make an ignominious retreat now, when we have got so far advanced?
12662Do you think her cheeks glowed with joy over the thought of the great love and the great power of Jesus?
12662Do you think that was what the sentence said to Marion?
12662Do you think this seemed like a wonderful story to Eurie?
12662Do your entire party go?"
12662Does n''t have an idea anyway what it is-- how can he?"
12662Does n''t he justify your friend just a little bit in her expectations?"
12662Does that answer satisfy you, my blessed mother confessor?
12662Eurie, my dear, ca n''t you impress it on those dear people that we_ do n''t want_ any hot water?
12662Eurie, what are you laughing at?"
12662Eurie, you are certain that your theological student did not cross the Atlantic in order to reach his elysium?"
12662Flossy, do you suppose there is enough imagination in me to make you into a book saint?
12662Flossy, do you suppose you can ever hear that hymn read again without laughing?
12662Following the sudden leading that she had learned no better than to call''impulse''she said in a quick low whisper:"Eurie,_ wo n''t you_?"
12662For her?
12662For was it not aimed at that class of people who awakened her own keenest sense of satire-- the so- called"Christian world"?
12662For what_ must_ it be like when there is"joy in the presence of the angels in heaven"?
12662For whom would God count those prayers?
12662For whom would this young man pray?
12662Fowler?"
12662Girls, do n''t you each want one of them to take home?
12662Girls, do n''t you know how nice we thought it would be to be together at Chautauqua for two whole weeks?
12662Glorious meeting, is n''t it?
12662Had not the most common- place statements a right to be tried by their own tests?
12662Had she not carried her heart to him, and had he not left his indelible impression there?
12662Had she not heard with her own ears Marion''s sneering sentence in the face of the unanswerable arguments that had been presented?"
12662Had she not stood side by side with death?
12662Harold, as soon as the season is over, and I get back home, I am going to unite with the church?
12662Has He answered you?
12662Has n''t he a ringing voice?
12662Have n''t you been fearfully bored?
12662Have n''t you consulted the programme and read:''No admission at the gates or docks''?"
12662Have you been seized with a mania for taking notes?"
12662Have you done that?
12662Have you heard him sing?"
12662Have you seen our bulletin?
12662Have you?"
12662He marked it with his pencil as he finished reading, and as he returned the book to her keeping he said with a smile:"We will, shall we not?"
12662He often says to people,''Wilt thou be made whole?''
12662He turned toward her a pleasant face and said, earnestly:"You would not be afraid of your father, would you?
12662Help?
12662His singing is splendid, is n''t it?
12662Honestly, girls, is n''t it a sort of wonderment to you how the people up there can employ their time?
12662How can I be lost in God''s sight one moment and accepted the next?"
12662How can I possibly tell but that this may be the case?
12662How can I tell you anything about it?
12662How could any one be so devoid of heart as that?
12662How could they help doing it again after that?
12662How did Frank Beard do it with a dull colored crayon and a half- dozen movements of his skillful arm?
12662How do I know, after all, but there may really be a spiritual blindness, and that it may be holding me?
12662How does it read:''That it is eminently fit and proper for those who believe that God made them to join the church?''
12662How does that sound?
12662How many more might there be?
12662How sharp he is, is n''t he?"
12662How would it seem to stand in intimate relationship with one single gifted mind like these, and was she destined ever to know by actual experience?
12662I have paid my money, and what business is it to them when I present my ticket?
12662I mean, is it a vital point in your estimation whether people go there to church on Sunday or not?"
12662I thought we should surely get good seats to- night?
12662I want to know if you think you are a Christian?"
12662I will; I have changed my mind; I will give it to you,''would n''t there be a difference?
12662I wonder how I shall contrive to discover where it is?
12662I wonder how many souls it has shipwrecked?
12662I wonder how you will carry it out?
12662I wonder if I am acquainted with him?
12662I wonder if Ruth Erskine is afraid to die?
12662I wonder if it be possible that there are any others like her?
12662I wonder if she can be one of those who are to take part in the primary exercises?
12662I wonder if she ever prays?
12662I wonder if she thinks one''s entire time and money should be devoted to the heathen?"
12662I wonder if the distinction is really marked, so one looking on could detect the difference, though all of them are strangers?
12662I wonder if the people at home ever make such a uproar about the lesson?
12662I wonder if there is no way of coming at it?
12662I wonder if they have the wedding day set already, and if she will announce it to me?"
12662I wonder if they_ do_ all wear them?
12662I wonder if we_ do_ look in the least alike?
12662I wonder if you are right, and nothing is of any consequence, anyhow?"
12662I wonder just what is required of people when they join the church?
12662I wonder what I_ do_ think anyway?
12662I wonder what can be the matter?
12662I wonder who he is?
12662I wonder why she did n''t?"
12662If clear light could shine on that, could there not on_ anything_?
12662If he did really belong to that"royal family,"why not rejoice over it?
12662If she did, was she in very deed an idiot?
12662If she is to be made well you may be sure that he can do it; but why should he so long as you do not care enough about it to ask him?"
12662If the blundering creatures who call themselves by his name are nothing but miserable imitations of what was_ once_ real?
12662If there is a too late to this thing, and I do not find it out simply because I am blind, what then?
12662If there was nothing at all in it, why not let Ruth amuse herself by joining the church and playing at religion?
12662If you have, wo n''t you please enlighten me as to his wisdom on this subject?"
12662In what way am I different from what I was yesterday?
12662Is anybody sure that it is in this hemisphere?
12662Is he now, and can I be one of them?
12662Is he so very talented, Marion?"
12662Is n''t Miss Shipley in your tent?
12662Is n''t it a queer place, Miss Erskine?
12662Is n''t it queer to think how well we know them all, and they are not aware of our existence?"
12662Is n''t it strange that they are not interested?"
12662Is n''t that an ambition worthy of her?"
12662Is not that promise verified to us often and often when we know it not?
12662Is she also one of your flock?"
12662Is that the reason you resolved to hear him again?"
12662Is there to be a sermon?
12662It is one of the Christian graces that is very hard to cultivate, anyway; do n''t you think so?"
12662It was wonderful how many people chose to consider themselves primary workers?
12662It would add to her sense of dignity, and who would be hurt by it?
12662Looks as though he might have written it, does n''t he?
12662Marion, do n''t you know how like a simpleton I talked, a week ago last Saturday night?
12662Miss Erskine, what is your opinion of the direct spiritual results of this gathering?
12662Miss Mitchell, are you going to do something for Christ that shall be talked over a thousand years from now?
12662Mr. Wayne?
12662Must I be a Deacon Cole Christian if I am one at all?"
12662My dear child, run and get your paper bag before it is time to go; or will you have my slice of ham and half this doughnut?
12662No?
12662Now I should like to know which of us was acting the sillier?"
12662Now for one question more: Have you made the effort that you believe to be necessary?"
12662Now how did those four girls come to be friends?
12662Now that is being frank, is n''t it, when I am walking the deck with a young lady?"
12662Now what do you suppose takes all these people to this place?"
12662Now, Ruth, you will go, wo n''t you?
12662Now, practically, what difference is there between us?
12662Now, what of it all?
12662O Eurie, why did n''t you tell me?"
12662O men and brethren, shall we not all prepare to meet there?
12662Oh, I wonder if there are a favored few who have shone out as grand lights in the world and have gone up from the world to their reward?
12662Oh, Ruth, Ruth, what will we do?
12662On Sinai?
12662Only that?
12662Ought she to try to tell him about it?
12662Perhaps I might leave a message with you for her?"
12662Pray how many chapters a day do you read in it?"
12662Pray, are we to sleep on the slats?"
12662Put it on on Tuesday morning, or Monday is it that we start?
12662Rather, is it not the right thing to do?
12662Roberts?"
12662Ruth, are you going to take a trunk?"
12662Ruthie, do you think Eurie and Marion have any interest at all?"
12662Say, are you going?
12662Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness?"
12662Shall I tell you what came in, just then and there, to influence her decision?
12662Shall we go to dinner?"
12662Shall we walk down and secure seats?"
12662Shall you go to Sunday- school?
12662She did not move nor turn her head; but presently she said, in a low and gentle voice:"Ruth, should you be afraid to die?"
12662She gave a little exclamation of dismay as she heard the plannings for the day, and said:"But, Ruth, what about the meetings?"
12662She had stood looking with an indifferent air around her, until Marion turned suddenly and said:"What did the lecture say to you, Flossy?
12662She knew it, believed it, felt it,--why should she not?
12662She must be young for such prominent work if she looks like me; but how could he know that since he never saw her?
12662She must get where she could say calmly:"Oh, are_ you_ here?
12662She thought these thoughts much more quickly than it has taken me to write them, and then she spoke:"Have I been selfish?
12662She wondered how a really_ mighty_ earnestness to save souls made a man appear?
12662Should that time be to- day, who is ready?
12662So if it is really blindness, why may not one be totally blind as well as to have a little sight that keeps one all the time in the wrong way?"
12662So long as I believe fully in the church and in religion, and wish to sustain both by my money and my influence, why should I not say so?
12662So this was the Bible promise?
12662Strong enough?
12662Such a volley of words?
12662Such being the astonishing case, would n''t it be pleasant to be at work on the same lesson?
12662Suppose she were the man, and these were the Jews, could she not say to them,"He has made me whole"?
12662Teach in the Sabbath- school?
12662That is rather fascinating, is n''t it, to think of so many hundreds and thousands of people all pitching into the same verses on Sunday morning?
12662That man from Philadelphia-- what is his name?
12662That question, asked by Flossy during her night of unrest,"Should you be afraid to die?"
12662That strong will of hers, which had led not only herself but others, yield it, submit to other leadership, always to question: Is this right?
12662The other chimed in:"Yes, and how did he do it?
12662Then she in turn whispered to the lady nearest her:"Is it Miss Rider who is teaching?"
12662Then:"I say, Flossy, what does it all mean?
12662There being no shopping to be done, no worsteds to match, no confectionary to tempt what earthly use for money?
12662They could not get into our church, could they?"
12662They do n''t understand the story, and of what use would it be to them if they did?
12662Think of my walking down Broadway of a sunny morning and stopping a stranger with the query,''Will you tell me where the lesson is, please?''"
12662This is the third this afternoon, or is it the thirteenth?
12662This time it was Flossy who asked the important question:"Are you going?"
12662This velvet is a pretty shade, is n''t it?
12662To what had she committed herself by her silence and his blunders?
12662To whom could she go?
12662Turn where she would they were wiping away the tears; she felt herself as if she could hardly keep back her own; and yet why should she weep?
12662Tyler?
12662Was it probable that he had met the condition, done his will, and so_ knew_ of the doctrine?
12662Was it such a little,_ little_ thing to do?
12662Was it true?
12662Was n''t he splendid?
12662Was n''t_ she_ the foolish one?
12662Was not she?
12662Was saying nothing about them speaking against them?
12662Was she being selfish in this, her new joy?
12662Was she following the stream?
12662Was she really thus giving all the time an unconscious tribute to the truth and purity of the Christian faith?
12662Was she?
12662Was that all true?
12662Was that for her, too?
12662Was there a greater sinner to be found than she?
12662Was there anything better to find in all this world than the assurance of this truth?
12662Was this an army of prodigals who had gathered under the trees this Sabbath afternoon?
12662Was this one of Prof. Sherwin''s unfinished tunes?
12662Was this"skim- milk"teaching?
12662Was_ she_, Ruth Erskine, a sinner?
12662Wayne?"
12662We might call for a rising vote of all who loved the Lord; could we not?
12662Well, I enlightened her as to her expectations, and what do you think she said?
12662Were you there?
12662What about being behind the scenes now, Ruthie?"
12662What about this strange story of the resurrection?
12662What are you all going off there for, to bury yourselves in the woods?
12662What came of that?"
12662What can you see to- night?"
12662What could have possessed you to come to- night?
12662What did it mean but that there was a life hidden away, belonging to Christ?
12662What did it mean?
12662What did she do with her talent?
12662What did she know of Christ?
12662What did she know of that gracious Spirit?
