18486	''Lord, whence are those blood- drops all the way That mark out the mountain''s track?''
18486	A big"if"you say?
18486	Am I their keeper?
18486	And then a questioning arose: was some one perhaps looking at me?
18486	And what is luxury?
18486	Badly?
18486	But the leaders are few; and what could they do without the great mass of followers?
18486	But was he brokenhearted over them?
18486	But was there more than this?
18486	But, some one says, how can we really follow this Lone Man, our Lord Jesus Christ?
18486	Could it be that He saw some lingering trace of the Father''s face in these faces?
18486	Could n''t they do_ any_thing?
18486	Could there be a greater evidence of the power of this Holy Spirit than to do such a thing with such as we know ourselves to be?
18486	Could there be anything to make clearer His hunger for the human touch?
18486	Did Peter take in the meaning that day?
18486	Do you hear it?
18486	Do you know about this sort of thing?
18486	Do you know about this?
18486	Do you love?
18486	Do you remember that other young Jewish, university- trained aristocrat?
18486	Do you remember that time when our Lord Jesus associated Himself so closely with just such men and women, in talking of a coming day?
18486	Do you remember when the Greeks came to Philip with their great plea,"Sir, we would see Jesus"?
18486	Do you think so?
18486	Does that mean that there is much earnest service that we have not been told to do?
18486	Does the crowd get hold of your heart as you elbow your way through them, or look down into their faces?
18486	Does this make all the stronger His sympathy with us in our upper reach out of such things?
18486	Has that image ever been wholly lost?--terribly blurred and scarred by sin, yes; but wholly lost?
18486	Have I?
18486	Have we done what we could?
18486	Have you ever noticed the picture in the word"follow"?
18486	Have you ever tramped to"Georgy"?
18486	Have you ever wondered what there was in those common crowds to attract our Lord Jesus?
18486	Have you ever worn the"Georgy"shoes?
18486	Have you ever_ seen Christ_?
18486	Have you noticed how much the current of the stream will do for you if you are out in a row- boat?
18486	Have you noticed the significance of that word"abide"which our Lord used on the night of His betrayal?
18486	Have you?"
18486	Have you_ seen Christ_?
18486	Have_ you_ seen Christ?
18486	He seems interested in them, and calls out familiarily,"Have you caught anything?"
18486	He went to a great extreme on the cross, did He not?
18486	His_ face_; torn?
18486	His_ friend_,--do you get hold of that word?
18486	How about you and me when it comes to the knife, with its sharp cutting edge, and slash and sting?
18486	How can it be said, with any soberness of practical meaning, that He is in need, and in desperate need?
18486	How can we really follow?
18486	How do you define those two words?
18486	How much would it mean to Him if your signature at the bottom of legal papers put some property at His disposal?
18486	How shall I trust myself to speak of that morrow, or you to listen?
18486	How shall we know this filling, do you ask?
18486	I can hardly take it in,--His_ friend_?
18486	I still feel the pathos of face and voice as the dear old mother, and the gentle wife, asked so eagerly,"When will he be back?"
18486	Is it a bit of an innate instinct in our common human nature, that only through sacrifice can the hurt of life be healed?
18486	Is it a picture of your road?
18486	Is it any wonder the people came astonished to know what this meant?
18486	Is it just a crowd to you?
18486	Is it possible?
18486	Is there any extreme like that of Gethsemane?
18486	Is there any world quite like it, except indeed it be the slums of our western world cities, European and American?
18486	Is there perfect music without the underchording of the minor?
18486	Is this the meaning-- one meaning-- of"blessed are the pure in heart for they shall_ see God_"?
18486	Is your religion_ livable_?
18486	It was out of a breaking heart that the cry was wrung,"My God, My God, why didst_ Thou_ forsake Me?"
18486	Just what is meant by_ a clear vision?_ I could say at once that it means a vision of our Lord Jesus Christ.
18486	May I tell you a little bit about it?
18486	Only I?
18486	Or is it a great company of hungry hearts, half- starved lives, so needy for what only this Lord Jesus can give?
18486	Or, shall we join the company at the half- way stopping place?
18486	Shall I say, men and the Holy Spirit?
18486	Shall We Go?
18486	Shall we go on_ all the way_?
18486	Shall we go, too?
18486	Shall we go?
18486	Shall we take a look at that face?
18486	Shall we take a moment more to look at these three finger- posts a little more closely?
18486	Take a look through your wardrobe; who and what controls there?
18486	The Hilltops V. Shall We Go?
18486	The Japanese was saying,"Oh, yes, I believe all that as a theory, but is there_ power_ to make a man_ live_ it?"
18486	The second great factor in carrying out what He began is-- how shall I put it?
18486	Their dazed eyes show that they think they could not have heard aright,--He to_ suffer!_ What could this mean?
18486	To bear This constant burden of their grief and care?
18486	Was he utterly broken down with grief as he led them to the little running brook of Kishon for the nation''s sake?
18486	Was it as though the Father''s face cried out to Him out of these poor beaten faces?
18486	Was that the first time the spell of a crowd began to get its subtle heart- hold on Peter as he looked into their hungry eyes?
18486	Was there ever such a meeting of sin and purity, of love and hate, of God''s best and Satan''s worst?
18486	Was there ever such love?
18486	Was there ever such sin?
18486	Was this the dead- level, monotonous stretch of the road, from the time of the early teens on to the full maturity of thirty?
18486	Well, let any thorns tear because of the narrowing of the road; I''m His friend, man, do you hear?
18486	Well, then just what do I mean practically?
18486	What Is Sacrifice?
18486	What could He mean?
18486	What is in those safety- deposit boxes?
18486	What is necessity?
18486	What kind of a house do you live in?
18486	What proportion of your income do you spend on yourself?
18486	What was there to attract the Lord Jesus to these crowds?
18486	Where do you draw the deciding line between necessity and luxury?
18486	Where does the true dividing line come in?
18486	Which makes stiffer climbing?
18486	Who built that fire?
18486	Who can withstand the great appeal of the crowd''s eyes?
18486	Who cooked that fish?
18486	Who was thinking about them and caring for their personal needs, when they were so tired and hungry?
18486	Why is it?
18486	Why must I suffer for the others''sin?
18486	With us character is a result of choice, and then nearly always-- or should I cut out that"nearly"?
18486	Would God lead us into temptation?
18486	Would any man have enjoyed home- life with all the rare home- joys, the sweetest of all natural joys, so much as He?
18486	Would it not be better if we were to count the cost, and then_ deliberately_ decide?
18486	You say,"I''m not just sure,"or"How can I know?"
18486	[ 21] And at last God said to Himself,"What more can I do?
18486	_ This_--has there come to you a real sense of Himself?
18486	_ We----"?_ Poor, self- confident Peter!
18486	a long look?
18486	and Calvary?
18486	and if it be to follow, then follow_ all the way?_ I want to talk a little later about what it means to follow.
18486	of His presence?
18486	of the tremendous plea His presence makes?
18486	yes; scarred?
14849	And is mine one?
14849	''Twas doing nothing was his curse-- Is there a vice can plague us worse?
14849	A common friendship-- who talks of a common friendship?
14849	A useless flint o''er which the waters flow?
14849	All is beauty: And knowing this, is love, and love is duty: What further may be sought for or declared?
14849	All the world cries,"Where is the man who will save us?"
14849	Am I wrong to be always so happy?
14849	And Jehovah said unto Joshua, Get thee up; wherefore art thou thus fallen upon thy face?
14849	And do our loves all perish with our frames?
14849	And dost thou hear the word ere it be spoken, And apprehend love''s presence by its power?
14849	And if ye salute your brethren only, what do ye more than others?
14849	And it is n''t the fact that you''re hurt that counts, But only-- how did you take it?
14849	And loved so well a high behavior, In man or maid, that thou from speech refrained, Nobility more noble to repay?
14849	And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
14849	And they said one to another, Was not our heart burning within us, while he spake to us in the way, while he opened to us the scriptures?
14849	And thou sayest, What doth God know?
14849	And what of that?
14849	And where are thy playmates now, O man of sober brow?
14849	And which of you by being anxious can add one cubit unto the measure of his life?
14849	And who will walk a mile with me Along life''s weary way?
14849	And why art thou disquieted within me?
14849	Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?
14849	Are not ye of much more value than they?
14849	Are the stars too distant?
14849	Are you in earnest?
14849	Art little?
14849	At rich men''s tables eaten bread and pulse?
14849	But he is in one mind, and who can turn him?
14849	But the little daughter whispered, As she took his icy hand,"Is n''t God upon the ocean, Just the same as on the land?"
14849	But what if I fail of my purpose here?
14849	But whoso hath the world''s goods, and beholdeth his brother in need, and shutteth up his compassion from him, how doth the love of God abide in him?
14849	Can a fig tree, my brethren, yield olives, or a vine figs?
14849	Can he judge through the thick darkness?
14849	Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee?
14849	Can you add to that line That he lived for it too?
14849	Canst thou prophesy, thou little tree, What the glory of the boughs shall be?
14849	Didst fancy life was spent on beds of ease, Fluttering the rose- leaves scattered by the breeze?
14849	Didst fondly dream the sun would never set?
14849	Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers, Ere the sorrow comes with years?
14849	Dost fear to lose thy way?
14849	Doth God exact day labor, light denied?
14849	Exceeding peace made Ben Adhem bold, And to the presence in the room he said,"What writest thou?"
14849	Feeling the way-- and if the way is cold, What matter?
14849	For doth not that rightly seem to be lost which is given to one ungrateful?
14849	For what shall a man be profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and forfeit his life?
14849	George W. F. Hegel born 1770. Who are thy playmates, boy?
14849	God will not seek thy race, Nor will he ask thy birth; Alone he will demand of thee, What hast thou done on earth?
14849	Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?
14849	Have we not darkened and dazed ourselves with books long enough?
14849	Have we not groveled here long enough eating and drinking like mere brutes?
14849	Have we not stood here like trees in the ground long enough?
14849	Have you an ancient wound?
14849	Having eyes, see ye not?
14849	He said:"My child, do you yield?
14849	He went out, and found others standing; and he saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
14849	How comes it to pass, then, that we appear such cowards in reasoning, and are so afraid to stand the test of ridicule?
14849	How many smiles?--a score?
14849	How to constitute oneself a man?
14849	I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains: From whence shall my help come?
14849	If a man die, shall he live again?
14849	If heard aright It is the knell of my departed hours: Where are they?
14849	If there were dreams to sell, Merry and sad to tell, And the crier rang the bell, What would you buy?
14849	In the hour of distress and misery the eye of every mortal turns to friendship; in the hour of gladness and conviviality, what is your want?
14849	Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?
14849	Is life a noxious weed which whirlwinds sow?
14849	Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?
14849	Is n''t it interesting to get blamed for everything?
14849	Is not God in the height of heaven?
14849	Is not the life more than the food, and the body than the raiment?
14849	It is not worth the keeping: let it go: But shall it?
14849	Josephine born 1763 Could we by a wish Have what we will and get the future now, Would we wish aught done undone in the past?
14849	Know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God?
14849	Look full into thy spirit''s self, The world of mystery scan; What if thy way to faith in God Should lie through faith in man?
14849	Loved the wild rose, and left it on the stalk?
14849	NOVEMBER Who said November''s face was grim?
14849	O God, can I not save One from the pitiless wave?
14849	Say, dost thou understand the whispered token, The promise breathed from every leaf and flower?
14849	Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit?
14849	Shall I ask the brave soldier who fights at my side, In the cause of mankind, if our creeds agree?
14849	Shall I give up the friend I have valued and tried, If he kneel not before the same altar as me?
14849	Shall I hold on with both hands to every paltry possession?
14849	Shall days spring up as wild vines grow, Unheeding where they climb or cling?
14849	Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?
14849	Shall we have ears on the stretch for the footfalls of sorrow that never come, but be deaf to the whirr of the wings of happiness that fill all space?
14849	Summer and flowers are far away; Gloomy old Winter is king to- day; Buds will not blow, and sun will not shine: What shall I do for a valentine?
14849	Temptation sharp?
14849	The great Gods pass through the great Time- hall; Who can see?
14849	Then why, my soul, dost thou complain?
14849	Then why, my soul, dost thou complain?
14849	There is sunshine without and within me, and how should I mope or be sad?
14849	Though you have but a little room, do you fancy that God is not there, too, and it is impossible to live therein a life that shall be somewhat lofty?
14849	Thy bountiful care what tongue can recite?
14849	Unarmed faced danger with a heart of trust?
14849	Was it hard for him?
14849	Was it thus that he plodded ahead, Never turning aside?
14849	Was the trial sore?
14849	Well, what of that?
14849	Well, what of that?
14849	What do you live for if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?
14849	What doctor possesses such curative resources as those latent in a single ray of hope?
14849	What does your anxiety do?
14849	What have you done with your soul, my friend?
14849	What if no bird through the pearl rain is soaring?
14849	What if no blossom looks upward adoring?
14849	What is man, that thou art mindful of him?
14849	What is the essence and life of character?
14849	What is your life?
14849	What shall we do with it?
14849	What though to- night wrecks you and me If so to- morrow saves?
14849	What would be the use of immortality for a person who can not use well half an hour?
14849	What''s hallowed ground?
14849	When I hear a young man spoken of as giving promise of high genius, the first question I ask about him is always-- Does he work?
14849	When the heart overflows with gratitude or with other sweet and sacred sentiment, what is the word to which it would give utterance?
14849	Whence comest thou?"
14849	Where else can we live?
14849	Who is the happiest person?
14849	Who is wise and understanding among you?
14849	Who knoweth not in all these, That the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this?
14849	Who said her voice was harsh and sad?
14849	Who stands ready to act again and always in the spirit of this day of reunion and hope and patriotic fervor?
14849	Who would fail, for a pause too early?
14849	Who would fail, for one step withholden?
14849	Who would fail, for one word unsaid?
14849	Who would not rather have a right to immortality than to be immortal without a right to be?
14849	Whose heart hath ne''er within him burned As home his footsteps he hath turned From wandering on a foreign strand?
14849	Why are we so glad to talk and take our turns to prattle, when so rarely we get back to the stronghold of our silence with an unwounded conscience?
14849	Why art thou cast down, O my soul?
14849	Why comes temptation but for a man to meet And master and make crouch beneath his foot, And so be pedestaled in triumph?
14849	Why comest thou?"
14849	Why drooping seek the dark recess?
14849	Why drooping seek the dark recess?
14849	Why, why repine, my pensive friend, At pleasures slipped away?
14849	Will ye leave the flowers for the crown?"
14849	are they thine, When round thy brow the wreaths of glory shine; While rapture gazes on thy radiant way,''Midst the bright realms of clear mental day?
14849	each a space Of some few yards before his face; Does that the whole wide plan explain?
14849	little loveliest lady mine, What shall I send for your valentine?
14849	what do we see?
14849	when the eve is cool?
45795	All right, my good woman,the atheist answered,"what is it then?"
45795	There is nothing extraordinary about this stone,a friend remarked,"what peculiarity do you notice?"
45795	What do I notice?
45795	What do you mean by that?
45795	What do you want me to give you?
45795	Yes, of course,General Sherman answered,"but-- are you a Christian, Howard?"
45795	Yes, yes, very well,the king said,"but then next to God?"
45795	***** King Charles IX of France once asked the Italian poet, Tasso:"Who, think you, is the happiest?"
45795	***** Mother-- do I remember her?
45795	***** On another occasion I heard the widow ask one of the pall- bearers when we turned away from the grave:"How did you like that sermon?"
45795	42 WHAT ABOUT THE DEVIL?
45795	A little later he said:"I ai n''t forgotten how to pray-- want to hear me?"
45795	Almost astonished I ask myself: Is it possible?
45795	And what did I say?
45795	And what would happen to themselves?
45795	And why?
45795	Are not the English the great commercial nation which embraces the earth with its countless ships?
45795	Are they to get the upper hand?
45795	Are wind and currents adhering to other laws in our days, or has their effect been changed?
45795	At which of these altars will you pray and praise?_ The eyes of everyone look toward America as never before:"O, America!
45795	But can He, the fair judge, condemn me for that which I disavow and separate myself from, what I personally oppose?
45795	But has not the miracle, this unrestrained action of the powers, disappeared from the church?
45795	But here, too, the words of the Lord apply:"For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?"
45795	But how about you?
45795	But how were the following days?
45795	But how, then, could the angels sing as they did that Christmas night?
45795	But if we ask further: Whence and from what?
45795	But is that all to which the brief, sorrow- laden moments can guide and help us?
45795	But what would it profit America if she won the rank of a leader among nations through her strength and wealth?
45795	But you ask: Dare I, a single individual, try to shoulder the burdens in my home, in the church?
45795	But, now suppose that it was n''t Life, but you_ yourself_ that were to blame?
45795	But, of what are they tokens?
45795	But, then, tell me: Have you not at times felt the nearness of Jesus?
45795	But_ you_ do n''t behave like that, do you?
45795	Did you throw your arms around his neck-- did you_ smile_ at him, saying: My dear, stay home with us tonight?
45795	Do you listen only to that which is carried to you by the wind of the evil tongues?
45795	Do you notice only the uncouth exterior?
45795	Does man possess other secrets than those of the darkness?
45795	Had he told them a striking joke which could not be commented upon, or had he stated a cleverly formulated truth which they could not resist?
45795	Has not England the very same qualifications?
45795	Have you had similar experiences?
45795	Have you not also in such moments felt a truer, a more sincere and deeper disgust with the evil character of sin, than otherwise?
45795	How about France in our own age?
45795	How about Jesus Christ when He,_ all alone_, bore the sin of mankind?
45795	How could that be?
45795	How do you look at the people among whom you live?
45795	How does the river get these immense masses of water?
45795	How many unbelieving physicians have not sworn as drastically as did the sailor, that they could not share the Christian faith in resurrection?
45795	How shall we approach the struggle of the twentieth century?
45795	How was that?
45795	I ask: Who is building this place?
45795	I asked: What makes you so calm?
45795	In what way did you tell him this when you asked him last to stay at home?
45795	Is it possible that I who found myself placed between fear and doubt, conquer both by the word of faith?
45795	Is n''t this a strange way of speaking?
45795	Is the law of nature violated, or is it rendered ineffective?
45795	Is this truth to remain?
45795	It is as when I ask someone: Do you know the ocean?
45795	It must have been a sore trial for them to think how God''s people had come under a foreign yoke: Was n''t, then, all hope dead?
45795	Just then their old grandmother who was sick abed in the next room, said:"O, girls, wo n''t one of you come and scratch my back?"
45795	Nay-- who would really be able to let the harp chords burst out in a song of joy-- under_ such conditions_?
45795	Nevertheless-- do you think Paul speaks aimlessly?
45795	Or France-- that liberty- loving nation with its technically wonderfully developed language?
45795	Or do you listen to the undertow in the depths of the heart, to the heaving sighs, the hollow roaring from within?
45795	Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
45795	Or is n''t it rather the case that there is something of_ relief_ in bearing burdens for others-- something of a_ gain_?
45795	Or was the charity of the auditors so far- seeing that it rejoiced in behalf of generations yet unborn?
45795	Or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"
45795	Or, will the development favor a retention of the native languages of the various nationalities here together with English?
45795	Or, you claim that you have a good Father in Heaven who can do everything: How is it, then, that He lets His children suffer distress on earth?
45795	Paul then asks:"Is it lawful to scourge a man that is a Roman?"
45795	SEEST THOU THIS WOMAN?
45795	Seest thou this man?
45795	Somewhat doubtfully, the chaplain asked him:"What can you pray?"
45795	THE WORTH OF YOUR SOUL"FOR what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul?
45795	The Christmas Angels: Dost Thou Remember?
45795	The Hidden Life 28 THE WORTH OF YOUR SOUL 32 THAT WHICH IS HIDDEN SHALL BE REVEALED 36 NOT IN WORD, NEITHER IN TONGUE 39 SEEST THOU THIS WOMAN?
45795	The others left it all to me, although they had the same obligations that I have-- what then?
45795	Then an old woman, her back bent with the weariness of life and years, arose, saying:"Sir, I have a question to ask you?"
45795	Then it was as though a kind and soothing voice whispered into my ear: Dost thou remember Christmas Eve at home?
45795	There was love for Jesus._ Seest thou this woman?
45795	WHAT ABOUT THE DEVIL?
45795	Was it a matter of distance only?
45795	Was it a series of happenings without aim, without meaning?
45795	Was it not as though the twinkling stars were smiling at him-- calling him, as it were?
45795	Was n''t He the same one whom John the Baptist had spoken of as the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world?
45795	Was not He like a luminous star in your life?
45795	Was not He your soul''s refuge in the darkness?
45795	Was not the world filled with war and disturbances in those days, too?
45795	Was not the world full of souls in quest of lost peace?
45795	Was that an evil power which from without, by chance, disrupted our life?
45795	Was there room for him up there?
45795	Was this, too,_ planned_ by the God of Israel?
45795	Well, who believes in it nowadays?
45795	What happens then?
45795	What is the reason for this?
45795	What is your choice?
45795	What profited it Germany that she possessed her soul- less mechanical attainments, even though they were ever so wonderful and marvelous?
45795	What shall I do, then?
45795	What shall we do?
45795	What should he do?
45795	What then?
45795	What were they doing, then?
45795	What would it have profited Germany to have gained the whole world when she would lose her soul thereby?
45795	When problems of world significance were to be settled, the question was asked: What does America say about it?
45795	Where shall I seek refuge?
45795	Where shall I seek that explanation which reconciles me with the word of the Lord, and which brings peace into my soul?
45795	Who were they?
45795	Who would have known how to plan thus?
45795	Who would have the strength to subdue and master the giant powers?
45795	Why is it that America has superior qualifications?
45795	Why?
45795	Will I accomplish anything but being crushed under the weight of the burdens?
45795	Will her future brighten?
45795	Will there not be very little to bring forth in the way of good secrets from the recesses of the heart?
45795	Wonder if the ambulance is n''t coming soon?
45795	Would n''t any mother''s heart break when she had to witness her son die the death of a condemned criminal?
45795	Would no one find him?
45795	You are a Christian,"Sherman added;"well-- what do you say?"
45795	You often hear it said: You claim that God loveth mankind: But why, then, does_ He_ let some suffer in all eternity?
45795	Your eye had detected her faults and shortcomings rather than her good points?
45795	_ The Christmas Angel''s: Dost thou remember?_ I WAS sitting in my study.
45795	_ The scoffers had nothing more to say!_ What had Mr. Moeller- Anderson done which made them silent?
45795	_ Water into wine!_ Is that really contrary to nature?
45795	_ What terms do you choose?_ 3.
45795	_ You are a Christian._ We ask, almost as surprised as O. O. Howard: What do you mean by that, Lord?
10866	''And takest thou all these things upon thyself,''he exclaimed,''thou who art not unspotted thyself?''
10866	''Are you not content?''
10866	''But what am I to do with Jesus, who is called Christ?''
10866	''But what evil has he done?''
10866	''From whence hast thou thy power?
10866	''How canst thou presume,''they exclaimed,''to appear before the Council in such a condition?
10866	''Is it possible, Jesus of Nazareth,''he exclaimed,''that it is thou thyself that appearest before me as a criminal?
10866	''Is it possible,''said he,''is it possible that thou art Jesus of Nazareth?
10866	''Master,''he exclaimed,''what has befallen thee?''
10866	''My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?''
10866	''Shall I crucify your King?''
10866	''Speakest thou not to me?''
10866	''What accusation do you bring against this man?''
10866	''What species of king art thou?
10866	''Who art thou?''
10866	''Who art thou?''
10866	After praying fervently, she turned to John and said,''Shall I remain?
10866	Annas and his adherents added mockery to insult, exclaiming at every pause in the accusations,''This is thy doctrine, then, is it?
10866	Answer at once: speak out,--art thou dumb?
10866	Are you still suffering on her account?''
10866	Art thou a king?
10866	Art thou dumb?''
10866	Art thou he whose birth was foretold in such a wonderful manner?
10866	Art thou prepared to satisfy for all these sins?''
10866	Art thou the Son of God?
10866	Art thou the king of the Jews?
10866	Art thou the son of an obscure carpenter, or art thou Elias, who was carried up to heaven in a fiery chariot?
10866	Art thou willing to bear its penalty?
10866	At the words,''Whom seekest thou?''
10866	At these words they all exclaimed,''What need we any further testimony?
10866	Behold, now you have heard the blasphemy: what think you?''
10866	But his accusers, whose anger continued to increase, cried out,''You find no cause in him?
10866	But tell us, where must we go?''
10866	But the soldiers pushed them on one side, struck them, obliged them to return to their houses, and exclaimed,''What farther proof is required?
10866	Could you not watch one hour with me?''
10866	Did he not deliver twenty- seven poor prisoners at Thirza, with the money derived from the sale of Magdalum?
10866	Did she, like these holy women, attain the end?
10866	Didst thou escape when so many children were massacred, and how was thy escape managed?
10866	Didst thou not cut off my brother''s ear?''
10866	Didst thou not eat the Paschal lamb in an unlawful manner, at an improper time, and in an improper place?
10866	Does not the conduct of these persons show plainly that the Galilean incites rebellion?''
10866	Dost thou not desire to introduce new doctrines?
10866	Everyone proposed something different, and some questioned Judas, saying:''Shall we be able to take him?
10866	For if in the green wood they do these things, what shall be done in the dry?''
10866	Has he not armed men with him?''
10866	Have you not been treated far more gently than was your adorable Spouse?
10866	He felt surprised at this, and asked her,''What has happened to you?''
10866	He fled as fast as possible, but where did he fly?
10866	He glanced at the mangled and bleeding Form before him, and exclaimed inwardly:''Is it possible that he can be God?''
10866	He leaned then on his breast and said:''Lord, who is it?''
10866	He tried to persuade himself that he wished to pass a just sentence; but he deceived himself, for when he asked himself,''What is the truth?''
10866	How is it that thou dost no longer possess it?
10866	How then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that so it must be done?''
10866	I have been ill quite a week, have I not?
10866	In my ignorance, I thought that he was speaking of those brethren who are not in communion with us, but my guide added:"Who are our brethren?
10866	Is it no crime to incite the people to revolt in all parts of the kingdom?--to spread his false doctrines, not only here, but in Galilee likewise?''
10866	Is it not possible to refrain from thus tearing to pieces and beginning to execute your criminals even before they are judged?''
10866	Is it true that thou hast restored sight to the blind, raised up Lazarus from the dead, and fed two or three thousand persons with a few loaves?
10866	It is true that Scripture tells us he said,''Could you not watch one hour with me?''
10866	It was towards three o''clock when he cried out in a loud voice,''Eloi, Eloi, lamma sabacthani?''
10866	Jesus again asked,''Whom seek ye?''
10866	Jesus made answer,''Sayest thou this thing of thyself, or have others told it thee of me?''
10866	Jesus replied,''What, Judas, dost thou betray the Son of Man with a kiss?''
10866	Jesus walked up to the soldiers and said in a firm and clear voice,''Whom seek ye?''
10866	John asked him how it was that he, who had hitherto always consoled them, would now be so dejected?
10866	John said to him:''Master, what has befallen thee?
10866	Judas wished to fly, but the Apostles would not allow it, they rushed at the soldiers and cried out,''Master, shall we strike with the sword?''
10866	Judas, dost thou betray the Son of Man with a kiss?''
10866	Kings from the East came to my father to see a newly- born king of the Jews: is it true that thou wast that child?
10866	Knowest thou not the words of the law,"He who sells a soul among his brethren, and receives the price of it, let him die the death"?
10866	Mary approached him instantly, and said,''Simon, tell me, I entreat you, what is become of Jesus, my Son?''
10866	Must I call the other disciples?
10866	On this subject Overberg wrote her the following words:''What have you had to suffer personally of which you can complain?
10866	Once, she asked suddenly in a scarcely audible voice,''What day is it?''
10866	Ought I to go away?
10866	Ought we to take to flight?''
10866	Our beloved convent, too, what will be done with it in a short time?
10866	Peter got up, intending to leave the room, when a brother of Malchus came up to him and said,''Did I not see thee in the garden with him?
10866	Peter, when his turn came, endeavoured through humility to prevent Jesus from washing his feet:''Lord,''he exclaimed,''dost thou wash my feet?''
10866	Pilate was offended that Jesus should think it possible for him to believe such a thing, and answered,''Am I a Jew?
10866	Pilate was somewhat moved by these solemn words, and said to him in a more serious tone,''Art thou a king, then?''
10866	Several times I heard him exclaim:''O my Father, can I possibly suffer for so ungrateful a race?
10866	Shall I have strength to support such a sight?''
10866	She would exclaim( as if repeating the words of others):''Why do you call out so?''
10866	Should not one member call upon another, and suffer in order to cure and unite it once more to the body?
10866	Someone asked her,''What is the matter with you?''
10866	Speak, what are the tenets of thy religion?''
10866	Tell me, without farther preamble, to what order of kings thou dost belong?
10866	The Apostles were very much troubled, and each one of them exclaimed:''Lord, is it I?''
10866	The Chief Priests took their seats likewise, and Pilate once more demanded:''Which of the two am I to deliver up to you?''
10866	The High Priests looked at one another, and said to Jesus, with a disdainful laugh,''Art thou, then, the Son of God?''
10866	The Roman governor has now sent thee to me to be judged; what answer canst thou give to all these accusations?
10866	The mention of Galilee made Pilate pause: he reflected for a moment, and then asked,''Is this man a Galilean, and a subject of Herod''s?''
10866	Then she again turned to the left, with menacing gestures, and exclaimed,''What meanest thou, O father of lies, with thy Magdalum contract?
10866	Then the devil murmured in his ears,''Cain, where is thy brother Abel?
10866	These words,''he made himself the Son of God,''revived the fears of Pilate; he took Jesus into another room, and asked him;''Whence art thou?''
10866	They awoke, and raised him up, and he, in his desolation of spirit, said to them:''What?
10866	Thinkest thou that I can not ask my Father, and he will give me presently more than twelve legions of angels?
10866	Thou art silent?
10866	Thy own nation and the chief priests have delivered thee up to me as deserving of death: what hast thou done?''
10866	What art thou come to do here?
10866	What canst thou answer to this?
10866	What disciples hast thou now?
10866	What hast thou done with the money given unto thee by the widows, and other simpletons whom thou didst seduce by thy false doctrines?
10866	What is happening to him?
10866	What is truth?''
10866	What words can, alas, express the deep grief of the Blessed Virgin?
10866	When Jesus entered in triumph the demons dispersed, crying out at the same time,''What is there between thee and us?
10866	When asked,''Who has spent money?
10866	Where are they all gone?
10866	Where are thy disciples, thy numerous followers?
10866	Where didst thou study?
10866	Where is Jesus?''
10866	Where is thy kingdom?
10866	Who art thou?
10866	Who can describe the sharp, sharp sword of grief which then transfixed her tender soul?
10866	Who can therefore be surprised at finding some omissions and confusion in her descriptions?
10866	Who gave thee the right of preaching?
10866	Who is being spoken to in that way?''
10866	Who knows whether his death would not be a triumph to my gods?''
10866	Who will assist, who will console us, who will cure our diseases?
10866	Whom seekest thou?''
10866	Why askest thou me?
10866	Why dost thou not answer?
10866	Why hast thou been for so many years unknown?
10866	Why have you illtreated this prisoner so shamefully?
10866	Wilt thou crucify us likewise?''
10866	continued Annas, in a tone of cutting contempt;''by whom art thou sent?
10866	is that my Son?
10866	said Pilate;''knowest thou not that I have power to crucify thee, and power to release thee?''
10866	she replied;''that would be most unreasonable; but how can any person avoid suffering when even the end of this little finger is in pain?
27852	Mother,asked a child,"since nothing is ever lost, where do all our thoughts go?"
27852	You are never out of temper,was once said to a woman well known to be much tried at home;"is it that you do not feel the injustice, the annoyances?"
27852	***** Is_ Passionately_ the word you long for?
27852	***** Then if we_ are_ slighted, misunderstood, maligned, or persecuted, what does it matter?
27852	***** WHAT WILL BE MY CROSS TO- DAY?
27852	***** Why weep, my child?
27852	*****_ Hast thou no favors to ask of Me?_ Give Me, if thou wilt, a list of all thy desires, all the wants of thy soul.
27852	*****_ Hast thou no interests which occupy thy mind?_ Tell Me of them all.... Of thy vocation.
27852	--"You have, then, some special balm?"
27852	A disappointment?
27852	A fresh rending of the heart?
27852	After all... these little troubles, looked at calmly, what are they?
27852	Am_ I_ the type of all that is beautiful and right?
27852	And for Me hast thou no ardor?
27852	And how do you prove to Him your love?
27852	And why not?
27852	Are there around thee those seemingly less devout than formerly, whose coldness or indifference have estranged thee from them without real cause?...
27852	Are there many who try to be of some little help or comfort to the souls with whom they are brought in contact through life?
27852	Are they not very much to be pitied?
27852	Are those around you wicked?
27852	Are you discouraged?
27852	Are you full of peace?
27852	Are you tempted?
27852	BENEATH THE EYE OF GOD, GOD ONLY As you read these words, are you not conscious of an inward feeling of peace and quietness?
27852	Beneath GOD''S protecting Hand, is it possible that you can be sorrowful, fearful, unhappy?
27852	But is not this a worry, a continual torment?
27852	Can you not hear GOD''S Voice speaking to you?
27852	Did JESUS CHRIST hesitate to die for you?
27852	Do we help him, unseen, towards that act of charity, humiliation, or self- renunciation?
27852	Do we pray to GOD that this soul may become humble, pure, devoted?
27852	Do we take as much pains to procure him the little devotional book that will really help him, as we should to obtain a transient pleasure?
27852	Do you believe harm was intended?
27852	Do you know what you have gained?
27852	Do you long at each Communion to receive the grace bestowed by CHRIST that shall little by little fit you for heaven hereafter?
27852	Do you not feel moved, as if your whole being in these words went forth to GOD, offering to Him life itself?
27852	Do you not feel something soothing and consoling in these thoughts?
27852	Do you wish to live at peace with all the world?
27852	Do your duty as well as you can, as you understand it, as it is given to you; say sometimes to GOD,"My Master, art Thou satisfied with me?"
27852	Does it seem too hard for you?
27852	Does not GOD love us?
27852	Does not this simple thought explain the reason that there is often so little result from our frequent Communions?
27852	Does the future in its turn seem to frighten me?
27852	Does the past sometimes rise up to trouble me with the thought of the many years spent without GOD?
27852	Dost thou not desire to do some good to the souls of those thou lovest, but who are forgetful of Me?
27852	During the week has not the heart been wearied with petty strife and discontent, interests marred, bitter words?
27852	Each has a mission to fulfil; and as it comes from GOD, why not let it be accomplished in peace?
27852	For what reason?
27852	Has not GOD promised His pardon for His blessed SON''S sake, to all who truly repent and unfeignedly believe His Holy Gospel?
27852	Have I made a full avowal and entire submission?
27852	Have I more faith in GOD, and more calmness and resignation in all the events of life?
27852	Have I not always opportunity to give?
27852	Have we courage not to spare the soul the trial that we know will purify?
27852	Have you any further doubts?
27852	Have you fallen?
27852	Have you reckoned the number of minutes that have elapsed since your birth?
27852	He is with you, and to retain Him close, Who is all Purity, will you not be more modest in your behavior?
27852	He says:_ Continue another half- hour the work that wearies thee_; and you would stop?
27852	He says:_ Do not that_; and you do it?
27852	He says:_ Let us tread together the path of obedience_; and you answer: No?
27852	Humiliation?
27852	I smile at the foolish fancies of my imagination; is not my future in GOD''S Hands?
27852	If so, is it not the greater merit?
27852	If your duty seems almost_ impossible_ to fulfil, ask yourself,"Is this GOD''S Will for me?"
27852	Is all this_ nothing_?
27852	Is it Thy Will that lonely and sorrowful I am left on earth, while those I loved have gone to dwell near Thee above?
27852	Is it not absurd to think that because another acts and thinks differently to myself, he must needs be wrong?
27852	Is not this thought one to make you tremble?
27852	Is there not a thought in this that should make us reflect?
27852	Listen to the story of a simple shepherd, given in his own words:"I forget now who it was that once said to me,''Jean Baptiste, you are very poor?''
27852	Make them the subject of our morning prayers, and say to ourselves, Here is my daily cross, do I accept willingly?
27852	My child, tell Me of all thy weariness_: who has grieved thee?
27852	My friend, do you know why the work you accomplish fails either to give pleasure to yourself or others?
27852	Not to bestow thine affection on one who is not devout, and whose presence steals the peace from thy soul?
27852	One more solemn thought: How old are you?
27852	Poor child, why do you tell a flower the thought that troubles you?
27852	Provocation?
27852	SATURDAY EARNESTNESS You love GOD, do you not, dear one, whom GOD surrounds with so much affection?
27852	Shall I see myself misjudged, falsely suspected, despised?
27852	Sufferings?
27852	THE POWER OF AN ACT OF LOVE TOWARDS GOD Have you ever reflected upon this?
27852	The thought of GOD is never wearisome; why not always cherish it?
27852	Then to whom can I speak of Thee this day?
27852	Then, why not shake off all this, that only chills affection?
27852	To be constantly employed, and never asking,"What shall I do?"
27852	To spare them trouble, we sacrifice our own ease and enjoyment.... Oh, that is all very beautiful, very right; but what should we do for the soul?
27852	To whom do you owe all this?
27852	What counsels can I give?
27852	What does it signify if some unexpected command upsets all my previous plans?
27852	What dost thou desire?
27852	What dost thou think?
27852	What is so often the one thing wanting to some devout person devoted to doing good?
27852	What matters the tone or the harshness of the order?
27852	What moments may I seize, in which, without wounding the feelings, or parading my zeal, I may be allowed to speak a few words of piety?
27852	What must I suffer, LORD?
27852	What wilt Thou send me to- day?
27852	What wouldst thou this day, My child?...
27852	When have I ever been more_ zealous in labor_ than those days when I had fulfilled all my religious duties?
27852	When have I felt_ more free, more happy_, than when having fulfilled all the duties of my social position?
27852	When more_ loving and devoted_ than on the days of my Communions?
27852	Which of us have not felt the same?
27852	Who can describe all the joy, strength, and consolation it reveals?
27852	Who is anxious for a beloved one''s eternal welfare?
27852	Whom wouldst thou have to help thee?
27852	Why be anxious about the future?
27852	Why cause any one pain?
27852	Why imagine evil intentions against yourself?
27852	Why need I be disquieted?
27852	Why not prepare the heart, even as we do the body?
27852	Will you, receiving thus the GOD of_ Peace_ within, have for those around you kind words that shall fill them with calmness, resignation, and peace?
27852	Wilt thou go now and be loving and forbearing towards one who has vexed thee?...
27852	Would you be at peace with your conscience?
27852	Would you become holy?
27852	Would you call it_ torture_ or_ constraint_, the energy with which you shatter some poisoned cup you were almost enticed to drink?
27852	Would you live peaceably with the members of your family, above all with those who exercise a certain control of you?
27852	Would your mother have given you a bitter dose merely for the sake of causing you suffering?
27852	Wouldst thou give pleasure to thy mother, thy family, those in authority over thee?
27852	_ Art thou fearful of the future?_ Is there in thy heart that vague dread that thou canst not define, but which nevertheless torments thee?
27852	_ Art thou fearful of the future?_ Is there in thy heart that vague dread that thou canst not define, but which nevertheless torments thee?
27852	_ Art thou resolved to avoid all occasions of sin?_ To renounce that which tempts thee; never again to open the book that excites thine imagination?
27852	_ Art thou resolved to avoid all occasions of sin?_ To renounce that which tempts thee; never again to open the book that excites thine imagination?
27852	_ Hast thou no promises to make to Me?_ I can read thy heart; thou knowest it; thou mayst deceive man, but thou canst never deceive God.
27852	_ Leave my friend always at liberty to think and act for himself in matters of little importance._ Why compel him to think and act with me?
27852	am I better?
27852	am I happier?
27852	and am I not willing to fulfil whatever I am advised in GOD''S Name to do for the future?
27852	can I never recall them?
27852	can not you see how the thought troubles and disquiets you?
27852	have you no mother?
27852	have you not GOD to prepare it for you, as tenderly as eighteen years ago your mother prepared your cradle?
27852	how can those live peacefully who never pray?
27852	however heavy may be the burden you have to bear, does it not at once become light beneath the gaze of that FATHER''S eye?
27852	if I try to please and imitate Thee thus, wilt Thou indeed bless me?
27852	is it because this word does not please you?
27852	no doubt the shame and grief are sharp and keen, but why need they disturb my peace of mind?
27852	then what more can I do, good angel, thus addressing me, what can I do to show my love to GOD?
27852	to thank?
27852	treated thee with contempt?
27852	what dost Thou require of me to- day?
27852	what matters then ingratitude, forgetfulness, contempt, and scorn?
27852	what wouldst thou do for them?
27852	when He says:_ Bear this, I am here to aid thee_; you will refuse?
27852	who can tell all that passes between the soul and its GOD?
27852	why always such seeking for some one to_ see_ me, to_ understand_,_ appreciate_,_ praise_ me?
27852	wounded thy self- love?
42657	_ Christ in You._What is it to have"Christ in you?"
42657	And O, wilt not thou come to Him?
42657	And can a Christian"greatly rejoice"while he is"in heaviness?"
42657	And dost thou think to get there by thy merits?
42657	And shall God turn to the dark sinner, and ask him whether there is anything in him which may contribute to eternal light?
42657	And to whom shall you go, if you turn away from Him?
42657	And what next?
42657	And what was the sacred lesson He taught to prevent their being exalted above measure?
42657	And what wonder is it that the believer has such deep peace, when Christ thus dwells in the heart, and reigns there without a rival?
42657	And, O, ye that are rich, can not you bear the same testimony, if you have loved the Master?
42657	At the Lord''s Table itself it is proper for us to pray,"Lord, is it I?"
42657	Because they are holy?
42657	Because they are sanctified?
42657	Because they serve God with good works?
42657	But dost thou say,"I will leave my wealth, after I have gone, to charities; I will build a hospital, or feed the poor?"
42657	But how is it that our peace is not more continuous?
42657	But if you have_ not_ this bright hope, how is it that you can live content?
42657	But what is it which preserves him from sinking?
42657	But why?
42657	But_ God_--what does He owe to thee?
42657	Can you not say that your religion did gild your gold, and make your silver shine more brightly?
42657	Can you say that you love Him, and has He ever revealed himself in the way of love to you?
42657	Can you think of that?
42657	Can your faith picture Him?
42657	Did you ever hear this parable?
42657	Do I know that Jesus loves me?
42657	Do I understand it?
42657	Do not the mountains praise Him when the woods upon their summits wave in adoration?
42657	Do we not know that in the heart of every sin condemnation slumbers?
42657	Do you ask what is the cause of this great rejoicing?
42657	Do you feel that in being a Christian you incur ridicule and reproach?
42657	Do you feel that in following Christ you must lose by it-- lose honor, position, wealth?
42657	Do you know it?
42657	Do you know what the joy is of doing good to others?
42657	Do you need something to light up the eye of your hope?
42657	Do you need something to nerve you for duty?
42657	Do you think that we are forever to be the drudges and the slaves of sin, sighing for freedom, and yet never able to escape from its bondage?
42657	Do you want something to bear you up in trouble?
42657	Do you want something to make you stand steadfast in the midst of temptation?
42657	Do you wonder that the Christian is called to conflict?
42657	Does He not say to the heavens,"Drop down manna to feed my people?"
42657	Does He say to the angel,"Protect my people?"
42657	Does He say,"Strengthen ye, strengthen ye my people?"
42657	Does He wear a crown?
42657	Does not the lightning write His name in letters of fire upon the midnight darkness?
42657	Does the Infinite indeed bow His ear to me?
42657	Dost thou not venture on that promise?
42657	Doth He question the night, and ask whether it has not in its sombre shades something which it may contribute to the brightness of noon?
42657	Doth not the thunder praise Him as it rolls like drums in the march of the God of Armies?
42657	Faith is precious, but what must sight be?
42657	For doth not all nature around me praise Him?
42657	For if this life be the seed- time of the future, how can I expect to reap in another world other harvests than I have been sowing here?
42657	God is the strength of his life: of whom shall he be afraid?
42657	God wills for the sun to light the earth: doth he ask the earth''s darkness to contribute to the light?
42657	Hang not up thy banner; do not decorate thine own bosom with the glory; for who made thee strong in the battle?
42657	Has it not calmed your minds?
42657	Has not this lightened you through the heavy shades of your tribulation?
42657	Has not your religion been a joy to you in your difficulties?
42657	Hast thou a cross, believer?
42657	Hast thou come to live as a receiver at the hand of God?
42657	Hast thou learnt this truth?
42657	Hast thou overcome temptation?
42657	Hast thou read the Bible, and yet have thine eyes been unenlightened?
42657	Hast thou shed a little light upon the darkness?
42657	Hast thou stood at Mercy''s gate, humbly seeking salvation?
42657	Hath not the whole earth a voice, and shall I, can I, be silent?
42657	Have I felt it?
42657	Have I lost a perfect righteousness in Adam?
42657	Have I lost happiness on earth in Adam?
42657	Have I lost heaven in Adam?
42657	Have not the testimonies of God been your song in the house of your pilgrimage?
42657	Have you ever struggled against an evil heart, and at last overcome it?
42657	Have you, like Bunyan''s Christian, fought with Apollyon, and after a fierce contest, put him to flight?
42657	He doth not ask what shall it profit him-- what shall be the good effect of it upon others, but he simply says,"Doth my Father command it?"
42657	Hear Him as he pleads-- hear you not what it is?
42657	How can I have hope that heaven shall be my eternal inheritance, unless the earnest be begun in my own soul on earth?
42657	How can I keep my desires burning and my zeal inflamed?"
42657	How can I trust that I shall be saved then, unless I am saved now?
42657	How can my emotions be strong?
42657	How important, then, becomes the question, Do I know the love of Christ?
42657	I must never seek any honor for myself; for what have I that I have not received?"
42657	If God gives a man a talent, do you think the man does not know it?
42657	Is He a priest?
42657	Is He enthroned?
42657	Is He glorious?
42657	Is He to be pierced in hands and feet, and are His followers to feel no pain?
42657	Is it a little thing for a follower of Christ to be losing the immortal honor of serving the Lord?
42657	Is it not plain, then, that religion is a thing which we must have here?
42657	Is it not prominently revealed that religion is important for the present?
42657	Is it not salvation-- thy soul''s deliverance from hell?
42657	Is it not the very sum of heaven, the rapture of bliss, the sonnet of the hill- tops of glory-- that you are to be perfect?
42657	Is it not your office and privilege to have it said of you, as of your Master--"He saved others, himself he can not save?"
42657	Is it shed abroad in my heart?
42657	Is not religion worth having in the sick chamber?
42657	Is not this enough?
42657	Is that your prayer which He is mentioning before the throne?
42657	Is the Lord Jesus your friend?
42657	Is the obedience of the Lord Jesus Christ girt about my loins, to be my beauty and my glorious dress?
42657	Is there not a heaven within it?
42657	Is there power in human intellect to fly into the land of the hereafter, where God''s people rest eternally?
42657	Is this less a wonder?
42657	It is true that we have become subject to death by sin, yet has not grace revealed an immortality for the sake of which we are glad to die?
42657	It is yours to be lights; and doth not a light consume itself while it scatters its rays into the thick darkness?
42657	Look at the old oaks; how is it that they have become so deeply- rooted in the earth?
42657	May I hope He will at last listen to me?
42657	Must He be crowned with thorns, and shall you be crowned with laurel?
42657	Must we not account for this by the fact, that in our troubles we live nearer to God?
42657	O, wherefore dost thou doubt, then?
42657	O, would ye give up your religion for all the joys that earth calls good or great?
42657	O, ye children of sorrow, racked with pain, has not religion been to you a sweet_ quietus_ in your sufferings?
42657	O, ye sons of poverty, has not this been a candle to you in the darkness?
42657	O, ye sons of toil, has not this been your rest, your sweet repose?
42657	O_ grave_, where is thy victory?"
42657	O_ hell_, where is thy triumph?
42657	Or dost thou think to purchase with thy riches and thy gold a foothold in paradise?
42657	Or is the promise made to those who bear"a good report"of the land?
42657	Or who among us would complain loathingly of the bread which we eat, that it palls upon the sense of taste?
42657	Remember Jesus; think thou seest Him looking upon thee, and saying,"I gave Myself for thee, and dost thou withhold thyself from me?
42657	Say, if your immortal life could be extinguished, would you give it up, even for all the kingdoms of this world?
42657	See, then, the necessity of keeping the heart full; and let the necessity make you ask this question:"But how can I keep my heart full?
42657	Shall he die upon a cross, and will not you bear the cross?
42657	Shall the disciple be above his Master, and the servant above his Lord?
42657	Some persons, when they know they can do a thing, tell you they can not: but you surely would not call that humility?
42657	The field might complain, and say,"Why these scars across my face?
42657	The waiting I mean is"getting all things ready"--the waiting of the poor sufferer for the physician, who cries out in pain,"Is the doctor coming?"
42657	They who come unto glory are sons; for is it not written,"The Captain of our salvation bringeth many sons unto glory?"
42657	Thou art the clay, but_ who_ is the potter?
42657	To live for comfort?
42657	To live for glory?
42657	To live for pleasure?
42657	To live for wealth?
42657	Was there ever a child of God who could deny this?
42657	What did Christ say?
42657	What does he mean?
42657	What does this teach us?
42657	What doth he do?
42657	What had all your riches been to you without a Saviour?
42657	What shall it profit you to gain the whole world and lose your soul?
42657	What wailing and gnashing of teeth shall there be over the carelessness or misadventure by which men lose_ such a heaven as this_?
42657	What was the joy?
42657	What will not men do to win fame?
42657	Which of us has ever complained that the sun gave us but little variety?
42657	Who can comprehend this but the Christian?
42657	Who made thy sword sharp, and nerved thine arm to strike the foe?
42657	Who maketh thee to differ, and what hast thou which thou hast not received?
42657	Who shall bid us"stay,"if God bid us advance?
42657	Why does the branch bring forth grapes?
42657	Why is a Christian''s character like Christ''s character?
42657	Why this rough upturning?"
42657	Why, then, should we fear?
42657	Would He say,"Come ye to the supper,"and yet shut the door upon you?
42657	Would you rejoice in the Lord with faith unmoved, and confidence unshaken?
42657	Yet are there not many who seem to imagine that if they save a corner in their souls for their religion, all will be well?
42657	You are sent into the world to be saviours of others; but how shall you be so if you care only for yourselves?
42657	You say,"Well, how is that?"
42657	_ Foretastes of Heaven._ Is it possible for us to know anything whatever of our heavenly home?
42657	_ He hath said it_?
42657	_ Humility._ What is humility of mind?
42657	_ Look to Christ._ Would you be free from doubts?
42657	_ Love to Christ._ Have you a friend at court-- at heaven''s court?
42657	_ The Christian''s Crown._ Have Christians a crown?
42657	_ The Secret of Strength._ Art thou proud, believer, because thou hast been profitable to the Church, and done some little service to thy times?
42657	_ The Sleep of Death._"The sleep of death"--what is this sleep?
42657	_ To- morrow._ If to- morrows are not to be boasted of, are they good for nothing?
42657	_ Untiring Delight._ Who ever called the sea monotonous?
42657	and is the blood of Jesus sprinkled upon me, to take away all my guilt and all my sin?
42657	and shall I not in this greatly rejoice?
42657	and shall we, when it lies at our doors, turn idly aside and cast our glory to the ground?
42657	and will you turn aside because of these little things, when He would not turn aside, but endured the cross and despised the shame?
42657	are you ashamed and unwilling to suffer what your Master suffered?
42657	art thou at a loss for a topic to comfort the aching heart?
42657	attempt another way?
42657	dost thou think Christ would tell thee He will receive thee, and yet not do so?
42657	if Christ endured all this for the joy of saving you, will_ you_ be ashamed of bearing or suffering anything for Christ?
42657	pawn eternal glories for the pitiful pence of a few moments of the world''s enjoyments?
42657	when there is a Judas in the company; and after the most intimate fellowship, Christ exclaimed,"Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?"
42657	who lit thy candle-- and who is it who keeps thee still shining, and prevents thee from being extinguished?
31647	''And how many souls have been converted to God by his"quiet influence"all these years?''
31647	''And who then is willing to fill his hand this day unto the Lord?''
31647	''And who, then, is willing to consecrate his service this day unto the Lord?''
31647	''Dear Eleanor, Do you love him as much as Christ loves us?
31647	''Hath He said, and shall He not do it?''
31647	''Is_ anything_ too hard for the Lord?''
31647	''Shall I hold them back-- my jewels?
31647	''Shall I keep them still-- my jewels?
31647	''Then you mean to say we are never to spend anything on ourselves?''
31647	''What about self- denial?''
31647	''Why ask me, dear?
31647	''_ When the Lord has said to us,''Is thine heart right, as My heart is with thy heart?''
31647	), or the grace of our Almighty God and the power of the Holy Ghost, which is as free to you as it ever was to any one?
31647	), to rule the wayward one with His peace, and to establish the fickle one with His grace?
31647	1 is our"bodies"?
31647	21?
31647	A saint in glory?
31647	After all, this question will hinge on another, Do you love Him?
31647	An angel?
31647	And does not this feeling, that we are dealing with a larger thing than we can grasp, take away from the sense of reality?
31647	And how can the Lord keep what He has not been sincerely asked to take?
31647	And if so, is it any wonder that we have not realized all the power and joy of full consecration?
31647	And if some, why not all?
31647	And if the very strength of your intellect has been your weakness, will you not entreat Him to keep it henceforth really and entirely for Himself?
31647	And if they are, are you trusting Him to keep them, and enjoying all that is involved in that keeping?
31647	And if we know that He heard it, should we not believe that He has answered it, and fulfilled this, our heart''s desire?
31647	And kept_ for Him!_ Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, when it is only the fulfilling of His own eternal purpose in creating us?
31647	And may we not expect a fresh and special blessing in so doing?
31647	And now, dear friend, what about your own hands?
31647	And oh, why did n''t they ever talk to me about it, instead of about my lessons or their little girls at home?
31647	And one knows they are true, and that they can not really return void, and what can give greater confidence than that?
31647	And so when the question,''How much owest thou unto my Lord?''
31647	And so, if we may commit the days to our Lord, why not the hours, and why not the moments?
31647	And there_ is_ chastening, but the Father''s love Flows through it; and would any trusting heart Forego the chastening and forego the love?
31647	And what has He to say to us?
31647	And what is being made willing, but having our will taken and kept?
31647	And what is to be for Him?
31647	And what then?
31647	And why should we allow him to argue with us for one instant, as if it were still an open question?
31647	Are any words so blest?
31647	Are not such moments proved to have been kept for Him?
31647	Are they consecrated to the Lord who loves you?
31647	Are they not the tiny joints in the harness through which the darts of temptation pierce us?
31647	Are we feeling this a little?
31647	Are we not''without excuse''?
31647	Are you getting any real and lasting satisfaction out of it all?
31647	Are you not finding that things lose their flavour, and that you are spending your strength day after day for nought?
31647	Are you one of His people by faith in Jesus Christ?
31647	Are you satisfied with your experience of the other''sort of thing''?
31647	Are you willing to be''_ only_''for Jesus?
31647	But as we do so, are we not conscious of a feeling that even a year is too much for us to deal with?
31647	But if not,_ why_ not?
31647	But is there any hope that, thus returning, our flickering love may be kept from again failing?
31647	But what has our Lord to say?
31647	But what then?
31647	But when you_ have_ committed them to Him, it comes to this,--is He able or is He not able to keep that which you have committed to Him?
31647	But why not take the same decided course, and share the same blessed keeping and its fulness of hidden reward?
31647	Can He have refused it when He has said,''Him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out''?
31647	Can He not communicate both the power and the gentleness?
31647	Can any words be more tender, more touching, to you, to me?
31647	Can there be a stronger promise?
31647	Could we choose a nobler joy?--and would we, if we might?
31647	Dare we add,''And I know that Thou canst not do that''?
31647	Day after day passes on, and year after year, and what shall the harvest be?
31647	Did He not die to save you?
31647	Did he, too, unaccountably forget to mention that he only meant all that was within him,_ except_ self?
31647	Do you ask,''But what use can he make of mere moments?''
31647	Do you honestly want your very feet to be''kept for Jesus''?
31647	Do you not feel that in very proportion to the gift you need the special keeping of it?
31647	Do you not think the hand which Jesus had just touched must have ministered very excellently?
31647	Do you not want a Friend?
31647	Do you not want a Saviour?
31647	Do you not want a blessing?
31647	Do you want an added motive?
31647	Does He or does He not mean what He says?
31647	Does it please the Master when even in our zeal for His work we annoy anxious friends by carelessness in little things of this kind?
31647	Does not a sense of hollowness and weariness come over you as you go on in the same round, perpetually getting through things only to begin again?
31647	Does our heavenly Bridegroom expect nothing more of us?
31647	Does this mean that we are always to be doing some definitely''religious''work, as it is called?
31647	Flowers on thy pathway, Skies ever clear?
31647	For He hath said_ How_ much-- and who shall dare to change His measure?
31647	For Thee, who art to me--_what?_ Fill that up too, before Him!
31647	For what is material force compared with moral force?
31647	For what_ is_''the good pleasure of His will''?
31647	Has not this vagueness had something to do with the constant ineffectiveness of our feeble desire that our time should be devoted to God?
31647	Has our Lord reason to say,''My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as a stream of brooks they pass away''?
31647	Has the flow grown gradually slower and shallower?
31647	Have we been grateful for the infinite thought and wisdom which our Lord has expended upon us and our creation, preservation, and redemption?
31647	Have we not been wronging His faithfulness all this time by practically, even if unconsciously, doubting whether the prayer ever really reached Him?
31647	Have we not drifted away from the golden reminder,''Should he reason with unprofitable talk, and with speeches wherewith he can do no good?''
31647	Have we not heard of one gentle touch on a wayward shoulder being the turning- point of a life?
31647	Have we not sometimes sat down to write, feeling perplexed and ignorant, and wishing some one were there to tell us what to say?
31647	Have we really let Him have the use of these hands of ours?
31647	Have you not felt how a happy conversation about the things we love best is checked, or even strangled, by the entrance of one who is not in sympathy?
31647	He wants to have you with Him; Do you not want Him too?
31647	Here I am usually met by the query,''But what would you advise me to sing?''
31647	Here is His promise of just what you so want; will you not gladly fulfil His condition?
31647	Honestly, now, have you trusted Him to keep your lips_ this day?_ Trust necessarily implies expectation that what we have entrusted will be kept.
31647	How can another keep that which we are keeping hold of?
31647	How can mortal heart conceive what is enfolded in these words,''I also for thee''?
31647	How can mortal mind estimate this enormous promise?
31647	How can we let the world, the flesh, and the devil have the use of what has been purchased with such payment?
31647	How could I rest, when I had heard His fame, In that dark lonely land of death from whence I came?
31647	How many for the spirit of praise, and how many for the spirit of heaviness?
31647	How shall I obey?''
31647	I said to him,''Well, H., we have a good Master, have we not?''
31647	I take this pain, Lord Jesus; But what beside?
31647	If He is not to have all, then_ how much?_ Calculate, balance, and apportion.
31647	If He says,''What is that in thine hand?''
31647	If our feet are not our own, ought we not to take care of them for Him whose they are?
31647	If the Lord taught David''s hands to war and his fingers to fight, will He not teach our hands, and fingers too, to do what He would have them do?
31647	If you are mourning over want of realized consecration, will you look humbly and sincerely into_ this_ point?
31647	If you only knew-- and why should you not know?
31647	If''singing for Jesus''is such delight here, what will this''singing_ with_ Jesus''be?
31647	In view of this, shall we care to reserve anything that rust doth corrupt for ourselves?
31647	Is He not all you need?
31647	Is He not kind indeed?
31647	Is it a little too much for them all to''flow in ceaseless praise''?
31647	Is it not a beautiful one?
31647	Is it not for want of putting our hands into our dear Master''s hand, and asking and trusting Him to keep them?
31647	Is it not obvious that it is the man''s distinct duty to see to this faithfully?
31647	Is it not often so, That we only learn in part, And the Master''s testing- time may show That it was not quite''by heart''?
31647	Is it not wonderful to think that the Lord Jesus will not only accept and keep, but actually_ use_ our love?
31647	Is it the experience of Christians that the coming in of a new object of affection interferes with entire consecration to God?''
31647	Is it worthy of our acceptation or not?
31647	Is not He good?
31647	Is not His name called''Counsellor''?
31647	Is not that enough?
31647	Is not the taking rather the pledge of the keeping, if we will but entrust Him fearlessly with it?
31647	Is not this enough, Though the desert prospect Open wild and rough?
31647	Is not this, O you who love the Lord-- is not this worth living for, worth asking for, worth trusting for?
31647	Is not your answer to your Father''s''What wilt thou?''
31647	Is there not work enough for any lifetime in unfolding and distributing that one message to His own people?
31647	Is this worthy work for one who has been bought with such a price that he must say,''Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my soul, my life, my all''?
31647	It is not the least use arguing with one who has had but a taste of its blessedness, and saying to him,''How can these things be?''
31647	It may be no to- morrow Shall dawn on you or me; Why will you run the awful risk Of all eternity?
31647	Jephthah uttered all his words before the Lord; what about ours?
31647	Now shall we, can we, reserve any corner of our hearts from Him?
31647	Now you who have been taking a half- and- half course, do_ you_ get such rewards as this?
31647	Oh, shall He call in vain?
31647	Oh, why Should they misrepresent Thy words, and make''Narrow''synonymous with''very hard''?
31647	Once the question was asked,''Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?''
31647	One loves them and rejoices in them, and what can be greater help to any singer than that?
31647	One who will love you faithfully, And love you to the end?
31647	Shall I, can I yet withhold From that living, loving Saviour Aught of silver or of gold?
31647	Shall not the time past of your life suffice you for the miserable, double- hearted, calculating service?
31647	Shall they carry us hither and thither merely because we like to go, merely because it pleases ourselves to take this walk or pay this visit?
31647	Shall we trust His word or not?
31647	Shall you or I remember all this love, and hesitate to give all our moments up to Him?
31647	Shall''the devil''have the use of them?
31647	Shall''the flesh''have the use of them?
31647	Shall''the world''have the use of them?
31647	Should not all this be additional motive for desiring that our_ whole_ selves should be taken and kept?
31647	Should we not be utterly ashamed to think of it?
31647	So may we not ask Him to bring His perfect foreknowledge to bear on all our mental training and storing?
31647	So what is the very first doubting, and therefore sad thought that crops up?
31647	Sometimes it is less than that; only a look( and what is more momentary?)
31647	Songs in the springtime, Pleasure and mirth?
31647	The only question is, will we trust this promise, or will we not?
31647	The preacher claims the promise,''My word shall not return unto Me void,''and why should not the singer equally claim it?
31647	Then why should we doubt that He did verily take our lives when we offered them-- our bodies when we presented them?
31647	This may be good, but is there nothing better?
31647	Treasures of earth?
31647	Was ever mythic tale or dream So bold as this reality,--this stream Of boundless blessings flowing full and free?
31647	Was it not kinder the task to turn, Than to let it pass, As a lost, lost leaf that she did not learn?
31647	Was it not worth the pain?
31647	We have heard this, and very likely repeated it again and again, but have we seen it to be inevitably linked with the great question of this chapter?
31647	We know this very well, but have we realized it?
31647	Well, where will you stop?
31647	What calls forth the deepest, brightest, sweetest thrill of love and praise?
31647	What can be found Bringing thee sunshine All the year round?
31647	What defence can we bring, what excuse can we invent, for so doing?
31647	What has a consecrated life to do with being''afraid''?
31647	What is even the present return?
31647	What is it that has dulled and weakened the echo of our consecration song?
31647	What is the Bride''s true and central treasure?
31647	What is to be done then?
31647	What manner of love is it?
31647	What proportion of your moments do you think enough for Jesus?
31647	What right have we to pick out one of His faithful sayings, and say we do n''t expect Him to fulfil that?
31647	What shall I render to my glorious King?
31647	What shall I wish thee?
31647	What shall I wish thee?
31647	What should be quoted to prove or describe it?
31647	What will You do without Him?
31647	What will you do without Him, When He hath shut the door, And you are left outside, because You would not come before?
31647	What will you do without Him, When death is drawing near?
31647	What_ is_, if such plain and yet divine words are not?
31647	Where is the consecration you have talked about?
31647	Where is the treasure, Lasting and dear, That shall ensure thee A Happy New Year?
31647	Where is your faith?
31647	Which do you really care most about-- a diamond on your finger, or a star in the Redeemer''s kingdom, shining for ever and ever?
31647	Which is greatest, gifts or grace?
31647	Which shall it be?
31647	While we have been undervaluing these fractions of eternity, what has our gracious God been doing in them?
31647	Whose heart?
31647	Why has this been, perhaps again and again?
31647	Why not ask him to make these hands of ours more handy for His service, more skilful in what is indicated as the''next thynge''they are to do?
31647	Why should only those who have limited means have the privilege of offering to their Lord that which has really cost them something to offer?
31647	Why should we hesitate to bear this testimony?
31647	Why should you do without Him?
31647	Why will you do without Him, And wander on alone?
31647	Why will you do without Him?
31647	Why will you do without Him?
31647	Why will you do without Him?
31647	Will you look up into His face and say,''_ Not_ willing''?
31647	Will you not henceforth say,''Most gladly, therefore, will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me''?
31647	Will you not now say,''Take my voice, for I had not given it to Thee; keep my voice, for I can not keep it for Thee''?
31647	Will you not seek it?
31647	With that thought fresh in your mind as you look at your hand, can you let it take up things which, to say the very least, are not''for Jesus''?
31647	Would it not be an unimaginable joy to do what He asked us to do with that money?
31647	Would this ensure thee A Happy New Year?
31647	Your pleasant pursuits, your harmless recreations, your nice occupations, even your improving ones, what fruit are you having from them?
31647	_ All_ for Him, or_ partly_ for Him?
31647	_ Does He love you?_ That is the truer way of putting it; for it is not our love to Christ, but the love of Christ to us which constraineth us.
31647	_ Your_ hand, do you say?
31647	and can we ever hesitate to give_ all_ our poor little hours to His service?
31647	and have we ever simply and sincerely asked Him to keep them for His own use?
31647	and if He does, should we not trust Him to do this thing that we have asked and longed for, and not less but more?
31647	and will He not be faithful to the promise of His name in this, as well as in all else?
31647	are we always to stand at the threshold?
31647	are we only to look forward to the same disappointing experience over again?
31647	books which must and do fill your mind with those''other things''which, entering in, choke the word?
31647	books which you would not care to read at all, if your heart were burning within you at the coming of His feet to bless you?
31647	how could we have praised Him enough?
31647	is mine such blessedness to- day?
31647	or rather, should we, for one instant, think about self or self- denial at all?
31647	that you are no more satisfied than you were a year ago-- rather less so, if anything?
31647	things which evidently can not be used, as they most certainly are not used, either for Him or by Him?
31647	to guide us to read or study exactly what He knows there will be use for in the work to which He has called or will call us?
31647	what are gases, and vapours, and elements, compared with souls and the eternity for which they are preparing?
31647	what is the little leak that hinders the swift and buoyant course of our consecrated life?
9184	''But, Father,''you continue,''how is it that you have become so harsh, and have changed your gentleness, as Job says to Almighty God, into cruelty? 9184 A fine question,"cried the other,"my neighbour, do you think?
9184	Again, who would not love this dear enemy for whom Jesus Christ prayed? 9184 Ah,"he said to me one day,"what is a man''s reputation, that so many should sacrifice themselves to this idol?
9184	Am I not old enough and strong enough for that?
9184	And during those six months,replied Bellarmine,"at whose hands will the blood of the lost sheep of my flock be required?"
9184	And for how much then do you,he answered,"account Jesus Christ, whom I honour in your person?"
9184	And of what use to God are the merits and good works of men?
9184	And pray what could be done with those notes?
9184	And supposing equal charity, vow, or no vow,resumed the person,"will not the action done by vow have greater merit than the other?"
9184	And what about the thanksgiving?
9184	And what part is that?
9184	Are we not,he would say,"in some sort visiting the sick when we obtain by our prayers relief or refreshment for the poor Souls in purgatory?
9184	Are you aware,he said,"that in the first place we require him to work at least one miracle?
9184	At any rate, would you not rather abandon yourself to God than to the evil one?
9184	Besides, do you reckon as nothing the good example which they may set wherever God calls them? 9184 But how can we imitate either this compassion or this Passion if we do not suffer from the motive of the love of God?
9184	But what are we to do?
9184	But what,I asked,"are those who can not read to do?"
9184	But, Father,I said,"how ought we to make our preparation?
9184	But, my Lord,returned the man,"do you really yourself think that I shall die?"
9184	But,I cried,"what did you mean by saying that a man married to such a wife as that was a Martyr?
9184	But,I objected,"will it not be a cause of disedification to others to see me so quick over things?
9184	But,I said,"when almsgiving is practised for the love of God, can we not then call it charity?"
9184	But,cried the other,"can you assure me that it would not be presumption on my part to have recourse to His mercy?"
9184	But,objected the other,"does God forbid us to take care of our health?"
9184	But,rejoined this person,"is not what is done by vow more meritorious than what is done only from a firm and settled purpose?"
9184	But,returned the Priest,"were not your feelings stirred at all by this treatment?"
9184	Do you know,he says,"what the cloister is?
9184	Do you wish to know,he continued,"how I test the excellence and value of a preacher?
9184	For, in fact,he used to say,"what is the use of running a race if we do not reach the goal, or of drawing the bow if we do not hit the target?"
9184	For,he went on to say,"who knows but that God may have touched his heart at the last moment and converted him?
9184	Has God not said that He is with us in tribulation, and is not His Cross the mark of the chosen? 9184 Have you any children?"
9184	Have you read,he once said to me,"the life of Blessed Aloysius Gonzaga of the Society of Jesus?
9184	How shall he who has no one in command set over him learn obedience? 9184 How shall we know whether or not we have yielded this consent?"
9184	I suspected that was it,replied Blessed Francis;"in that case who do you wish should profit by what you do?"
9184	Must we then,I asked,"give up all spiritual guides?"
9184	Nay,rejoined the Saint,"do not fathers interfere in the quarrels of their children, judging between right and wrong?
9184	Of what then does it avail you,said the other,"to have made that vow about which I have been consulting you?"
9184	Since,he says,"God can bring good out of evil, will He not surely do so for those who have given themselves unreservedly to Him?
9184	Still, is it wrong to find pleasure in thinking of what is sinful?
9184	That is true,he answered,"but have you not noticed that I say he must be chosen out of ten thousand?
9184	The question then is in what does the essential perfection of a Christian life consist? 9184 Then that splendid carriage, which is, so to speak, regal, in which I see you every day driving about the city is not your own?"
9184	Well, then,replied he,"if you understand it thus, why do you contend against your understanding and your conscience?
9184	Well, then,said the Bishop,"have you made a bad use of this wealth?"
9184	What could have induced you to play these pranks? 9184 What do you mean by that?"
9184	What is to be done with you?
9184	What memoranda?
9184	What more have you to say, for I know you do not intend to spare me?
9184	What then,I asked,"is a truly devout man?"
9184	What, then,he was asked,"do you say to the chase, and to the killing of animals for the food of man?"
9184	What,cried the criminal,"do you think that God would have anything to do with a victim as repulsive as I am?"
9184	Why do you not make this preparation earlier, in your morning exercise, which I know, or at least I think, you never neglect?
9184	Why,he answered,"can you really think this dignity would in any way conduce to my serving our Lord and His Church better than I can now do?
9184	Would it have been too much trouble to call me?
9184	You, a child, indeed; and for how long do you mean to go on clinging to your childhood? 9184 _ He is our light and our salvation, whom shall we fear?
9184	''And do you really imagine,''he exclaimed,''that even her dead body could do anything else but contradict me?''
9184	A few are enough-- two are enough-- nay, one is enough._ Why should not a Christian Philosopher be content with what was enough for this Stoic?
9184	A man whose tongue is longer than his arm, is he not a monstrosity?"
9184	After all, he would say, are not twelve hundred crowns a handsome income for a Bishop?
9184	After all, of what use are complaints?
9184	After all, possessing honestly all that is necessary for food and clothing, ought we not to be content?
9184	After all, what have I done to you to make you wish to leave me?
9184	After having answered my questions, and satisfied my mind, he asked me:"And what will you say about the affections?"
9184	After that, what could the Priest possibly refuse him?
9184	Again in one of his letters he says:"Why?
9184	Again, if I pray with devotion and fervour, am I not adding to prayer another religious action, which is devotion?
9184	Again, when his steward was complaining of down- right distress, and of there being no money left, he said:"What are you troubling yourself about?
9184	Am I like a nurse to breathe softly on your hurt?
9184	Am I not happy to live like a child without care?
9184	Am I not well- dressed?"
9184	And do we despise marriage because we put celibacy above it?
9184	And have you, my good daughter, to distress yourself about what the devil attempts?
9184	And how is this increase of Faith to be brought about?
9184	And if they please Him, whom can they reasonably offend?
9184	And sweetness, how can it attract but sweetly and pleasantly?
9184	And that it is only taken by those who do violence to themselves?
9184	And what is it that a man knows best of all, or at least ought to know?
9184	And whence proceeds confidence In God?
9184	And who are we that we should judge our brother?
9184	And"supposing you were playing for guineas,"returned Francis,"how would it be then?
9184	Are not all the faithful taught of God?
9184	Are not your teeth strong enough to masticate bread, the hard bread of suffering?
9184	Are there not already enough of such institutions into which these applicants might be drafted?
9184	Are we insulting the stars when we admire and praise the sun?
9184	Are we not clothing the naked when we procure for souls a garment of light, the light of glory?
9184	Are we not meriting for God, when we do a good work in a state of grace and for the love of God?
9184	Are we not most fortunate to live on only by help of miracles?
9184	Are we to talk of our merits and graces as if He needed them, and were not Himself absolute merit and infinite goodness and perfection?"
9184	Are your teeth set on edge by eating sour grapes?
9184	As He testified to Saul when He cried out to Him:_ Why persecutest thou Me_?
9184	As long as we are here below are we not exiled from God?
9184	Ask yourself if there is reasonableness in such a request as you are making?"
9184	At the sight of fountains:"When will fountains of living water spring up in our hearts to life eternal?
9184	But beholding them in that divine resting place, who can do otherwise than love them, bear with them, and be patient with their imperfections?
9184	But do you notice how God hides from her own eyes the perfection which He is giving her?
9184	But does he who praises one Saint blame the others?
9184	But may- be you were accused falsely?
9184	But perhaps you were justly accused?
9184	But such devotion, though a virtue, is dead, not living,"I rejoined:"But how can this dead devotion be real?"
9184	But what can not courage, zeal, charity, and confidence in God accomplish?"
9184	But what is this infused and supernatural humility?
9184	But when are they made, and in what place?
9184	But whence springs this salutary distrust of self?
9184	But, my Daughter, how can it be that out of such a will so many imperfections show themselves as are continually springing up within me?
9184	Can He not make living and thirst- quenching water flow forth from the jaw- bone of an ass?
9184	Can it be said that I chose a bad model or was wanting in taste?
9184	Can you as one of my flock, have the heart to take the bread out of my mouth in place of helping to feed me?
9184	Can you do that?"
9184	Did not she who said to Solomon:_ Let it be divided_,[2] show herself to be the false mother?
9184	Did not the Apostles also come forth rejoicing from the presence of the Council where they had received affronts-- for the name of Jesus?
9184	Did not the Apostles come forth rejoicing from those assemblies in which they had suffered contumely for the name of Jesus?
9184	Did they not even take up stones to cast at him?
9184	Do we, out in this desert, have every day for our guests Prelates of such distinction?
9184	Do you imagine that he was banished from it in order to do nothing?
9184	Do you know that you spoilt your sermon by them?
9184	Do you know why the angels envy us?
9184	Do you not believe that He says to you also_ Mary, Mary?_ Ah!
9184	Do you not know that God takes pleasure when for a sacrifice to Him we offer hospitality and kindliness?
9184	Do you want better examples for regulating your conduct?"
9184	Do you want these poor people to be doubly poor, like sick physicians, who, the more they know about their disease the more disconsolate they are?
9184	Do you wish me to give you milk and pap instead of solid food?
9184	Does it become a member to complain of any hardship under a Head wearing no crown but one of thorns?
9184	Does it not seem to you that, this being his own case, his talking about poverty makes him like a cleric expatiating on the art of war?
9184	Does not the divine oracle tell us that through much tribulation we must enter the Kingdom of Heaven?
9184	Does the man who considers gold more precious than silver say that silver is nothing at all?
9184	Does the temptation please or displease you?
9184	Father,"replied the lady,"do you not remember all those little written notes on various subjects which you gave me to help my memory?"
9184	For whom He died?
9184	Has anyone offended you?
9184	Have you forgotten how to eat bread?
9184	Having sufficient to feed and clothe ourselves suitably, what more do we want?
9184	He answered me thus:"What would you have?
9184	He does not say"anyone who is without venial sin,"for from that who is exempt?
9184	He is the Protector of our life, of whom shall we be afraid?_"UPON A COMPASSIONATE MIND.
9184	He told him to follow the example set by St. Paul, and by St. Martin, and to make his own the words of the Psalmist:_ For what have I in heaven?
9184	He who has no superior, humility?
9184	He who is careful with farthings, how much more so will he be with crowns?
9184	He who is never contradicted, patience?
9184	His next question was,"My Lord, shall I die?"
9184	How can one play on a lute without tuning it?"
9184	How can we escape from His spirit?"
9184	How long shall we continue to dig for ourselves miserable cisterns, turning our backs upon the pure source of the water of life?
9184	How many vessels of contempt have been, by the change of the right hand of God, transformed into vessels of honour?
9184	How shall we patiently suffer the faults of our neighbour if we are impatient over our own?
9184	How shall we practise humility if not on such occasions as these?"
9184	How shall we reprove others in a spirit of gentleness if we correct ourselves with irritation, with disgust, and with unreasonable sharpness?
9184	How should we like to be talked about like this, and to have our little weaknesses brought out, just to amuse anybody who may chance to hear?
9184	I answer this objection in Blessed Francis''own words:"But may we, then, under no circumstances judge our neighbour?
9184	I ask you, Philothea, would it be proper for a Bishop to wish to lead the solitary life of a Carthusian monk?
9184	I ventured to ask how that could be a fault, and how he could speak of abundance as if it were famine?
9184	If God justifies him, who shall condemn him?
9184	If I offer to God this prayer, as incense, or a spiritual sacrifice, or as an oblation, are not sacrifice and oblation two religious actions?
9184	If in praying I adore God, is not adoration one also?
9184	If we extol the Seraphim, do we on that account despise all the lower orders of Angels?
9184	In what condition think you was Saul when God raised him to the throne of Israel?
9184	Indeed, how could this philosopher, being destitute of the true Faith, possess charity?
9184	Indeed, who can say how many more virtues claim a place in this bright choir?
9184	Instead of excusing or defending himself, he would say cheerfully,"Do they say no more than that?
9184	Is it fitting that I, who glory in being the servant of Jesus Christ crucified, should desire to be better treated than my Master?
9184	Is it for us, I say, to scrutinize their counsels, and ask, Why are you acting thus?
9184	Is it likely I should have?
9184	Is it not He who imparts it to men?
9184	Is it not a case of painting on water and sowing on sand?"
9184	Is it not a great thing that these good men submit themselves to the Church, and so defer to her as to ask her permission and blessing?
9184	Is it not in the observance of the law that true justice consists?
9184	Is it not so with other acts which are perfected by frequent repetition?
9184	Is it not the most splendid thing imaginable to counsel the doubtful, to convert the sinner, to forgive injuries, to bear wrongs patiently?
9184	Is it right that one who is the father of others, one to whom God has given the rank of a Bishop in His Church, should play the child?
9184	Is it unimportant in your opinion to be a sweet odour in Jesus Christ, an odour of life eternal?
9184	Is liberality displayed towards the rich, in your opinion, worth as much as alms given to the poor?
9184	Is not He the God of knowledge?
9184	Is not doing the will of God a work great enough for anyone?
9184	Is not our Order the first of the three estates in a christian kingdom?
9184	Is not that enough to constitute a kind of fraternity between us?
9184	Is the arm of God shortened?
9184	Is there any condemnation for one who is in Christ Jesus?
9184	Is this the beautiful Noemi of bygone days?
9184	Let thy fountains be conveyed abroad, and in the streets divide thy waters._[1] From so excellent a vocation what but good results could be expected?
9184	More and more surprised, and unable to understand the man''s distaste for life, the Bishop said:"Then, my brother, why do you so long for death?"
9184	Moreover, if by this prayer I desire to praise God, is not divine praise a religious act?
9184	Moreover, they are our brethren according to the flesh, for are we not all children of Adam?
9184	Must you then, my dear sister, my dearest daughter, because of this temptation, fret and disquiet yourself and change your manner of thought?
9184	My dear daughter, tell me what better penance can be given to an erring heart than to bear a continual cross and to be always renouncing self- love?"
9184	My friend replying:"Why do you refuse to others the advice which you took for yourself in your youth?"
9184	Neither is it for us to dare to say:''Why hast Thou done thus?''
9184	Now what is this that a man knows not at all?
9184	Now, in what rule is charity, the queen of the virtues, more recommended that in that of St. Augustine?
9184	Now, on what is the kingdom of this world founded?
9184	Now, tell me what do you say as to that lengthiness of yours which inconveniences everybody?
9184	Of the two requisites for a good pastor, precept and example, which think you is the most estimable?
9184	Of what avail then will this high reputation be to me?
9184	Of what use are laws if they are not observed?
9184	Of what use will they be to the Church of God?
9184	Of_ justice_; for who is there that has not sinned and consequently has not deserved punishment?
9184	On his friends reminding him that he would be exposing his sacred office to derision,"What of that?"
9184	On the other hand, who are we that we should judge our brethren, the servants of another?
9184	On what did Jesus Christ ride triumphant on Palm Sunday?
9184	Others say:"We are too weak"; but is not this the Bread of the strong?
9184	Others;"We are infirm"; but in this Sacrament have you not the Good Physician Himself?
9184	Possibly those which separate us from God?
9184	Regarding the reception of the infirm, he might have exclaimed with St. Paul:_ Who is weak and I am not weak_?
9184	Shall we not bear with those whom God Himself bears with?
9184	Should I not drain the chalice held to my lips by the hands of so loving a Father?
9184	Since in God there is no pleasure that is not good, what difference can there be between the_ good pleasure_ and the_ will_ of God?
9184	So also that other,_ Why seest thou the mote that is in thy brother''s eye, and seest not the beam that is in thy own eye_?
9184	Some plead as their excuse that they"are not good enough"; but how are they to become good if they keep aloof from the source of all goodness?
9184	That has grieved me very much, for even if those who made them do not give way to sin, why, and for what, do they now omit them?
9184	That is to say, all power of judging in Heaven and on earth?
9184	The Saint then said gently but gravely:"Do you then wish me to give the charge of my sheep blindfolded and to the first comer?
9184	Then, noticing how indignant we all were with the slanderers,"What,"he would exclaim,"have I given you leave to fly into a passion on my account?
9184	True, but who is so foolish as to think that he can commit more sins than God can pardon?
9184	Truly, we may say here with the wise man:_ Who is he and we will praise him?
9184	Was it not by the hand of a woman?
9184	Was it not upon an ass?"
9184	Was it possible to carry patience further than this?
9184	Was there ever any reputation more torn to pieces than that of Jesus Christ?
9184	We arm ourselves against wolves and bears; but who would condescend to do so against the swarms of flies which torment us in hot weather?
9184	What better way of learning to receive Him well can there be than receiving Him often?
9184	What can come out of a bag but what is in it?
9184	What can sensible presence add to a love which God has made, which He supports, and which He maintains?
9184	What can we do of ourselves, but fail?
9184	What did He not do with a rod in the hand of Moses?
9184	What do they mean by distracting occupations?
9184	What do you think of this doctrine, you who go by rule and measure in valuing an act of virtue?
9184	What does a man know until he is tempted?
9184	What good can we do to Him to Whom all our goods belong, and Who has all good in Himself; or, rather, Who is Himself all good?
9184	What harm do others do us by having a bad opinion of us?
9184	What injury has he borne?
9184	What is there that should be able to sadden the servant of Him who will be our joy through all eternity?
9184	What marks can be lacking of perseverance in a unity which God has created?
9184	What matters it how or by what means we are united to God?
9184	What shepherd feeds his flock and does not drink its milk and clothe himself with its wool?
9184	What would this good and all- merciful God do with His mercy; this God, whom we ought so worthily to honour for His goodness?
9184	What would you have, I repeat?
9184	What, I say, would He do with it if He did not share it with us, miserable as we are?
9184	What, however, do you think he did with the small amount of money which he found in the bag?
9184	What, then, becomes of acts of holy fear, and of the virtue of hope?
9184	When He willed to create the world, out of what did He form it, save nothingness?
9184	When a child is troubled to whom should it turn if not to its kind father?"
9184	When faults were public and so manifest that they could not be excused, he would say:"Who knows but that the unhappy soul will be converted?
9184	When shall we yield fruits both plentiful and well flavoured to the heavenly Husbandman, who cultivates us with so much care and toil?"
9184	When there was any talk of budding and grafting, he would say:"When shall we be rightly grafted?
9184	When we help on their deliverance by the means which Faith suggests, are we not most truly ransoming prisoners?
9184	Where is your unfailing compassion?''
9184	Where was the sacred fire found when the Jews returned from their captivity among the Medes?
9184	Where will you find one more troubled, and more interrupted by sin, than that of King David?
9184	Who can wonder at the prolonged sufferings of the sick man who resolutely refuses every salutary remedy which he is entreated to take?
9184	Who dare call them irritating or troublesome?
9184	Who gives us the right to amuse ourselves thus at the expense of another?
9184	Who has told us that we are blameless?
9184	Who is he?
9184	Who shall deliver me from the body of this death?
9184	Why are not our souls as richly adorned with virtues?"
9184	Why are you so cowardly?
9184	Why be angry with those who come to our aid against so powerful an enemy?"
9184	Why do you not avail yourself of it?
9184	Why is that?
9184	Why should I dwell more on his reproof?
9184	Why, then, am I so slothful and lax in the quest after my wandering sheep?
9184	Why, then, are you stumbling now?
9184	Why, then, may He not have offered the same favour to this unhappy heresiarch?
9184	Will not that, my good M.R.,[5] be living on our goods?"
9184	Will they, do you think, be more perfect because they have more convents?"

9184	With what calumnies was He not loaded?
9184	With what did He vanquish Holofernes?
9184	With what insults was He not overwhelmed?
9184	Without purity how should we recognise impurity?
9184	Would Rome, which would be the place of my residence, afford me more opportunities for so doing, than this post in which God has placed me?
9184	Would it be the right thing if an artisan, a magistrate, or a doctor only worked at his profession one or two days in the week?
9184	Would you desire a more unmistakable vocation than that of King Saul, or one more glorious than that of Judas?
9184	Yet who would not rather be with Jesus, Mary, and Joseph in that shadowy gloom than with the shepherds even in their ecstasy of heavenly joy?
9184	You are beneath His wings, like a little chicken under those of its mother; what do you fear?
9184	You ask me how we are to deal with these inclinations and manage these talents or virtues?
9184	You ask me if we are permitted to wish for death rather than offend God any more?
9184	You were going on so well, who is it who is holding you back?

18701	Ah? 18701 Albert,"she said to him one evening,"do you know we ought to be laying up a little something?"
18701	Also against themselves?
18701	Am I in my own house, or somebody else''s?
18701	And do you know of one who wishes to occupy it?
18701	And do young men for whom you work really neglect to pay you?
18701	And does your mother work for one man all the time, little girl?
18701	And if we will supply you with food and fuel for a week, can you manage to get along until that time without more clothing?
18701	And right for you?
18701	And we shall have something good to eat, mamma, and something to make us warm?
18701	And which, Edward, afforded you the greater satisfaction, the Scriptures, or the credit you got for studying them?
18701	And who has released you from those same obligations and imposed them upon me?
18701	And wo n''t you smoke again?
18701	And you are only fifteen now?
18701	And you have spent your last month''s earnings?
18701	And you want the vacancy?
18701	And you, Walter?
18701	Anything wrong?
18701	Are they?
18701	Are you from the almshouse?
18701	Are you going to ride out this afternoon, Peyton?
18701	Are you not well Mary?
18701	Are you wild, Lucy? 18701 Bill?"
18701	But how are you getting along?
18701	But how did you keep along so well with your studies?
18701	But how''ll you raise the money?
18701	But how?
18701	But is there nothing more that can be done to save him?
18701	But what can we do with him?
18701	But when-- when-- shall we go?
18701	But where shall we go, my good wife?
18701	But why did n''t you call after her?
18701	But would n''t it look better of''em to begin some of their charities at home? 18701 But, mamma, please decide now, wo n''t you?"
18701	But,said Sam,"how are we to do it?
18701	But,said the stranger,"will not Mr. Merton wait another year, if you make all the circumstances known to him?"
18701	Ca n''t you borrow it?
18701	Ca n''t you let me have one or two dollars, Mr. Peyton? 18701 Ca n''t you let me have some money, Mr. Peyton?
18701	Can I know it before I die?
18701	Can ye find seats? 18701 Can you raise two thousand dollars?"
18701	Carrie?
18701	D''ye mean that?
18701	Dear child, what''s the matter?
18701	Did he also refuse to let you share in the expense of our excursion?
18701	Did he?
18701	Did she wear a striped shawl and a dark dress?
18701	Did you believe me?
18701	Did you ever read the Bible, sir?
18701	Did you put anything into the box?
18701	Did you then feel happy again?
18701	Do n''t I pay the minister two dollars every single year?
18701	Do n''t you know that bank mistakes are never corrected? 18701 Do n''t you remember me?"
18701	Do they mind it, Bridget?
18701	Do you ever visit such places, Henry?
18701	Do you feel better?
18701	Do you know the money you take across the bar is the same as taking the bread out of the mouths of the famishing? 18701 Do you remember Lucius Williams?"
18701	Do you remember what I said to you as you wept upon my neck?
18701	Do you still want Tiger, sir?
18701	Do you tell me that you have built a fence around my lot with weak places in it, and gaps in it? 18701 Do you think so, mother?
18701	Do you think so?
18701	Do you think there is hope, doctor?
18701	Do you want to? 18701 Do you?"

18701	Doin to stay up here all''lone, g''anma?
18701	Eh, Tom, old boy, what''s up?
18701	Eh, Tom, what do you mean?
18701	Eleven?
18701	Gentlemen, will you smoke?
18701	Governor, why ca n''t I sell these herrings? 18701 Has n''t that old fellow gone yet?"
18701	Have you any bad news?
18701	Have you been running me in debt, Mary?
18701	Have you lost your character?
18701	Have you told them how very important it is that you should have the money?
18701	Have you, or has any one, told him of his real condition?
18701	Hearty!--and how are you, Freeman?
18701	Help me, sir?
18701	Here, Tim,he called, turning to the bar- keeper,"what''s our bill?"
18701	How can I be melancholy, Edward, when the Bible tells me that all these things are working together for my spiritual good? 18701 How did you get money enough to pay for a year''s board and tuition here?"
18701	How do you know it is you? 18701 How do you like it?"
18701	How is it now, Tom?
18701	How is that?
18701	How long before we get to Harrowtown?
18701	How long does he think I can live?
18701	How many commandments are there?
18701	How much is there lacking?
18701	How much will you take for the lot?
18701	How of equal value, Edward?
18701	How, father, how?
18701	How?
18701	I must have it, my boy? 18701 I say, what do you mean, sir?"
18701	I should like to do it,added Drake,"but what''s the use?
18701	I suppose you came because you saw my advertisement?
18701	I think I heard you tell Mr. Greenough that you had no money-- that you had paid out your last dollar this very afternoon?
18701	Is he badly hurt?
18701	Is he dead?
18701	Is it possible, sir, that you do not know how many commandments there are? 18701 Is it true what the lad says?"
18701	Is n''t he? 18701 Is not this a pretty place, uncle?"
18701	Is that a Bible, uncle?
18701	Is that right?
18701	Is that the rule?
18701	Is this really you, Mr. Bartol? 18701 Is this the house of Jacob Manfred?"
18701	It may hurt like a blow many sad hearts; but if it be true-- what then?
18701	It was a long way for you,he said,"Did you have a comfortable journey?"
18701	John, John, what does this mean?
18701	Like it pretty well, do you?
18701	Like it? 18701 Luke, do n''t you remember me?"
18701	Lyman?
18701	Madam,said the gentleman who gave her the money,"why do you come to a saloon?
18701	May I ask your reasons, mamma?
18701	Money?
18701	Mother, can you come down below a few minutes now?
18701	Must have a time once in awhile, eh?
18701	My child, what do you mean?
18701	My little girl,said I,"Is your name Taggard?"
18701	Not forsaken, Jacob? 18701 Peter,"said she, not in a pleasant mood,"why do n''t you send that miserable Tom Darcy home?
18701	Pray?
18701	Sam,said the owner of the machine- shop,"what were you and the rest of your party doing last Saturday afternoon?"
18701	Shall I correct the figures?
18701	Suppose I have n''t fifty dollars?
18701	Suppose we send you a dollar''s worth of other things, such as butter, flour, potatoes and the like-- could you live a week on it?
18701	Thanks, dear children? 18701 That you might ride out for nothing a little oftener, hey?"
18701	Then I''ll throw away my tobacco and beer; may I join at that?
18701	Then let''s commence back two weeks, eh?
18701	Then why are you_ here_ this morning?
18701	Then you had a Bible already?
18701	There''s something wrong,he said,"what can it be?
18701	There, do''ye see?
18701	Tiger, old fellow,cried Tom, trying to look fierce, though he could scarcely keep down the tears,"how came you to run away, sir?"
18701	To whom was this command given, Edward?
18701	Tom,cried the manufacturer, starting forward and grasping his hand,"are you in earnest?
18701	Was n''t there a committee of the church that visited old Israel last month?
18701	We are hardly doing right, are we,asked a rubicund- visaged man, who puffed away heartily"to smoke in the parlor?
18701	We are what, Jacob?
18701	We do n''t want a tree, do we, Maud? 18701 Well, Doctor, how long do you think he can live?"
18701	Well, what more do you want? 18701 Well, what was there so funny about all that?"
18701	Well,cried the organ- builder,"how went the lesson?"
18701	Wh-- what did you say boy?
18701	What ails my little girl?
18701	What are you doing here?
18701	What are you going to do about it?
18701	What are you going to do, Minnie?
18701	What are you sitting there for?
18701	What are your plans for the long vacation?
18701	What can this mean?
18701	What could have induced you,he asked,"to show us so much kindness?"
18701	What did he say to that?
18701	What did he tell you? 18701 What did the goods amount to?"
18701	What do you do in''meeting''?
18701	What do you mean?
18701	What do you want here, Sir?
18701	What is it, John?
18701	What is it, Susie?
18701	What is it, you provoking thing? 18701 What is it?
18701	What is the matter, Susie?
18701	What is this, my son?
18701	What shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
18701	What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
18701	What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? 18701 What shall we do?"
18701	What, Linton, you do n''t smoke?
18701	What, is n''t this Harrowtown?
18701	What, my child, what is it?
18701	When are you going to get a camphene lamp? 18701 Where is Brother W.?"
18701	Where is the church?
18701	Who can be praying here?
18701	Who can be richer here than you?
18701	Who is it?
18701	Who paid for your ride yesterday?
18701	Who will weed the garden, and carry my vegetables to market? 18701 Who?"
18701	Why am I not happy?
18701	Why are you out of work and pay?
18701	Why did n''t you give it to him, mamma?
18701	Why do n''t you come to bed, Robert?
18701	Why do n''t you send him home?
18701	Why do n''t you smoke, Dalton?
18701	Why so, pet?
18701	Why so?
18701	Why so?
18701	Why yes,said the old man in great surprise,"but do_ you_ want to sell him?"
18701	Why, father, is this the way to become a Christian?
18701	Why, it''s absolutely driving her out of the house, is n''t it?
18701	Why, what else should I do with it, John? 18701 Why?"
18701	Why?
18701	Wilfred, what are company manners?
18701	Will it please your honors,he said,"to direct my prosecutor to come a little nearer, so that I can look at him and your honors at the same time?"
18701	Will my red brother drink some milk?
18701	Will we meet next Saturday?
18701	Will you not come to Jesus now?
18701	Williams?
18701	With my history in your possession, do you wonder that I was alarmed to- day when I saw you about to fall into the same trap? 18701 Yes-- there was,"answered Sam, giving his cigar an indignant shake;"and what did they do?
18701	You are not really going to church to- day, Clara, dear, cold as it is?
18701	You do n''t mean to say that you''ve spent it?
18701	You say it is full three miles to D----?
18701	You think he will buy the place, then?
18701	You want to be forgiven, do n''t you?
18701	You would think it wrong for me to be there?
18701	You?
18701	_ Why_ not?
18701	''Did you never hear of the way?--never hear of Jesus?''
18701	''Died for my sins?''
18701	''Is that radin?''
18701	''Is that verse here?''
18701	''It is from my mother; shall you keep it?''
18701	''Shall I not write to your mother and tell her that her son, who was dead, is alive again; was lost, and is found?''
18701	''Sure, and what does it say?''
18701	''Will it not be too much trouble?''
18701	''Would you be willing to let me see it some time when it is convenient?''
18701	''You do n''t know her name, nor where it came from?''
18701	''You feel the Saviour''s love?''

18701	A MOUNTAIN PRAYER MEETING"Will you go to meeting with me this afternoon, Mabel?
18701	A friend, who was passing by, said to the child,"Do you expect to get all that coal in with that little shovel?"
18701	A smile of pleasure passed over his face, as he quietly asked,--"What did the angel blot it out with?
18701	Ai nt you too?"
18701	And he_ really_ died for me?
18701	And how are we to get our thoughts so occupied by it, Edward?"
18701	And now could you tell me where Mr. Luke Conway''s place of business is?"
18701	And though you be down to death, what then?
18701	And where is Brother R.?"
18701	And where is Sister W.?"
18701	Anxious about what?
18701	Any taste for hams, herrings, tape, and shoe- strings?"
18701	Are n''t you sorry you ca n''t go?"
18701	Are such expressions as these likely to make us gloomy, Edward?"
18701	Are we sowing seeds to blossom?
18701	Are you going home with me?"
18701	Are you her boy?"
18701	Are you not mistaken about there being ten?"
18701	Are you satisfied?"
18701	Are you sure that there is n''t something else?"
18701	Are you the mere slave for your thoughts, compelled to follow as they, by some caprice, may direct?
18701	Arthur, what are your plans?"
18701	Before the still embarrassed brother and sister could make reply, some one asked:--"How came you to be detained so late?
18701	Boiled eggs, too, ai nt it, Ruth?"
18701	But are you sure you would not have done as they did, and been as unbelieving as they?
18701	But as I could no longer endure the agony of suspense, I at last inquired of the doctor,"Doctor, what do you think of my son''s case?"
18701	But can you defend such a position as this?
18701	But how would you propose for me to come to Christ?"
18701	But now, John, you wo n''t give up seeking until you get the blessing, will you?
18701	But praise her for what?
18701	But what interest can boys and girls and all older persons have in these cities?
18701	But what is it?
18701	But what was the deaf old man about?
18701	But what''ll I do with the herrings if yer do n''t want''em, and they wo n''t have''em?"
18701	But who cares?
18701	But why did you not come?
18701	But why do they call you Miss Levick?"
18701	Ca n''t I take him a little while?"
18701	Ca n''t some of you help her a little?"
18701	Ca n''t you believe the Bible?"
18701	Can I be, father?"
18701	Can I help it?
18701	Can it satisfy The longing and lonely hearts of men?
18701	Can you talk of hope now?
18701	Conductor, how shall I know when to get out?
18701	Could anything more graphically describe the progress of a young man, from the first cup of wine to the last?
18701	Could it be that these were to be the very articles that were to be worn at my Ellen''s wedding?
18701	Could it be the master?
18701	Could that terrible personage be confronted with an imperfect scale?
18701	DID YOU EVER THINK?
18701	Did you ever reflect how the tobacco habit levies its taxes on everybody?
18701	Did you ever think what this world would be If Christ had n''t come to save it?
18701	Did you ever think what this world would be If Christ had stayed in heaven,-- No home in bliss, no soul set free, No life, or sins forgiven?
18701	Did you ever think what this world would be With never a life hereafter?
18701	Did you observe the personal bearing of their parents toward them-- know their walk and conversation?
18701	Do n''t you know, man, that a fence must be perfect, or it is worthless?"
18701	Do n''t you think I''ll see you a Christian yet before I die?"
18701	Do tell me how I can get ready?
18701	Do we realize this?
18701	Do you begin to see, Edward, that the Bible is more suitable to be an every- day book than your profane history?"
18701	Do you ever sigh and disquiet your heart, Christian pilgrim, because God has not given you wealth and worldly ease?
18701	Do you suppose he has found out where Harrowtown is?
18701	Do you suppose he''ll ever leave it off?"
18701	Do you want any medicine?"
18701	Do you wonder we refuse to let you attend the party?"
18701	Does any one think that such a life, with such an object in view, was hard or cruel?
18701	Does he think I shall recover?"
18701	Fixing up this room, you know, and being so gentle like-- what can it mean unless he''s going to die?"
18701	For being sullen, and making your home the most disagreeable place in the world?"
18701	For did I not pay for spangles yesterday, and what was it that vexed Ellen but because she could not find anybody to sew them on when she returned?
18701	For me-- for me?"
18701	Foremost among the disappointed was a tall woman of a bitter tongue, who began vehemently,"Why have n''t I got any?
18701	Given it up lately?
18701	Had he ever told her of the satisfaction he had known, or the comfort experienced?
18701	Had heaven forsaken him, and given him over to the tender mercies of the wicked?
18701	Had those riches ever made him as happy as that old man looked to be over his poor meal?
18701	Has anything serious occurred at the institute?"
18701	Has n''t one been added somewhere else?"
18701	Have you been talking with the doctor about me?"
18701	Have you no power to determine what themes_ shall_ and what shall_ not_ employ your meditations?
18701	Have you not turned away in utter scornful unbelief, like the woman?
18701	Have you seen the lines--"''None but Jesus, none but Jesus, Can do helpless sinners good''?
18701	Have you taken the trouble to reply at all?
18701	He has sent to you the most loving and tender offers that even an almighty God could frame; and what have you replied?
18701	He jumped out of bed, saying,"Father, wo n''t you come and help me?"
18701	He rebelled against it; wanted to know"why God had done it?"
18701	How are you?
18701	How could he do that?
18701	How could you pass by a stranger so indifferently, Mrs. Greyson?
18701	How did he fall out?"
18701	How did you disguise yourself so well?"
18701	How is it with you, John?"
18701	How many are there, Charley?
18701	How many husbands are in a similar dilemma?
18701	How much do you suppose you spend each day for cigars and ale?
18701	How much is your salary?"
18701	How much salary have you fixed upon?"
18701	How was I to live without him?
18701	How weary of all endeavor, If the dead unnumbered, in land and sea, Would just sleep on forever?
18701	I guess you and Nick will come up real often, wo n''t you?"
18701	I''ve visits to make, and shopping to do, and embroidery to finish, how can I help the poor when I''m so pressed for time?"
18701	If this is discovered what will be the end of it?
18701	In a few moments more he said,--"Father, are you sure it is all wiped out?"
18701	In the evening, when the Scotchman came in from his work, the man said,"Well, Jock, is the fence built, and is it tight and strong?"
18701	In the silence that followed Mr. Carman spoke out:--"Is my character to be thus blasted on the word of a criminal, your honors?
18701	Is it any wonder that amid such home influences the boy did not show, as he advanced toward maturity, a high sense of honor?
18701	Is it really the old Tom?"
18701	Is it strange that the boy''s perception of right and wrong should be obscured?
18701	Is it too late, temperance men?
18701	Is n''t that it, my friend?"
18701	Is the chimney clear?"
18701	Is there a brother drifting on life''s ocean, Who might be saved if you but speak a word?
18701	Is this right?"
18701	It is n''t a proper place for a lady, and why are you driven to such a step?"
18701	It is n''t the fact that you''re hurt that counts, But only, HOW DID YOU TAKE IT?
18701	It is n''t the fact that you''re licked that counts, But, HOW did you fight, and WHY?
18701	It was a sensible conjecture; for why else should I follow on?
18701	It was quite dark when he stepped from the cars, and he inquired of a man at the station,"Can you tell me where I can find Mr. Aaron Harrington?"
18701	It was the complete answer to his question,"Praise her for what?"
18701	Last night your father and I had a long talk about the matter, and we agreed--""To let me go?"
18701	Levick?''
18701	May I run over and see Cousin Sue off?"
18701	Merton?"
18701	Mr. Peyton owes me ten dollars and I can''t"--"Mr. Peyton?
18701	Mr. Randal, is this the boy who lied to you, and caused you to get out at the wrong station?"
18701	My God, how can it be That thou, who hast discerning love, Shouldst give that gift to me?"
18701	N----?"
18701	Now what d''ye think of that, eh?"
18701	Now will you inform me to what you owe your healthy, happy life?"
18701	Now, really, did not the drive to and from church do you more good than the sermon?
18701	O, why should we linger in sorrow, When its shadow is passing away,-- Or seek to encounter to- morrow, The blast that o''erswept us to- day?
18701	Oh, but was n''t it rich to see how scared he was when I waked him up?
18701	On the following morning he said to his wife,"Ellen, have you any coffee in the house?"
18701	Only cold and hunger are not kind helpmates, Mr. Hobbs, ye ken that, eh?"
18701	Possibly I looked the discouragement I was beginning to feel, for he added in a kindlier tone,''Are you good at taking a hint?''
18701	Seriously, why should you be more polite to Mrs. Jones than to mamma?
18701	Shall I do so?"
18701	She had always made his home as comfortable as hands could make it, and had he offered the light return of praise or commendation?
18701	She said,''Are you Madam Gazin?''
18701	Should the animated This great law invalidate?
18701	Sister W. lifted her hands in unfeigned astonishment, and exclaimed:--"Could any one believe it?
18701	Some, to be sure, there were who said,"Can the leopard change his spots?"
18701	Stepping up to the bar, and addressing the proprietor, she said:--"Sir, can you assist me?
18701	Surely the anchor ought to respect so excellent a chain, and not break away from it?''
18701	Taggard?"
18701	That he should be mean and selfish and dishonest in little things?
18701	That he will not hang another Of such beauty on the line?
18701	That''s to put you foot on, you know; and, O say, ca n''t we play puss in the corner sometimes if we''re easy?"
18701	The child hesitated, and then looking at the stranger, near whom he sat, said innocently:--"How many are there?"
18701	The man thought for some moments, and said, as if in doubt,"Eleven, are there not?"
18701	The minister opened the services with a few fervent, simple words, and then said,"Brother----, will you lead in prayer?"
18701	Their unbelief cost them only a hungry stomach a little longer; but what may your unbelief cost you?
18701	Then I called out loudly also,"Will any one have some herrings for tea?"
18701	Then in a slightly agitated voice his wife inquired,--"Have you been successful in obtaining the money?"
18701	They all"would like,"but"where was the money to come from?"
18701	UNFORGOTTEN WORDS"Have you examined that bill, James?"
18701	Was n''t that right?"
18701	Was not Susie''s prayer answered?
18701	Was the condition of the former so much better than his own, that he would care to change places with him?
18701	Was there no one to offer a word of true counsel?
18701	Well, what of that?
18701	Were you in the homes of these young men from the beginning?
18701	What are a thousand dollars to me, or a thousand dollars to my well- to- do neighbor, compared with the ruin of a helpless fellow- man?
18701	What could I do?
18701	What did it signify what the world said about it?
18701	What harm can there be in it?
18701	What has made the difference?
18701	What if Mr. James did owe him a thousand dollars?
18701	What if he should lose the whole amount of this indebtedness?
18701	What is fame to love?
18701	What is it that gives to the plainest face The charm of the noblest beauty?
18701	What is it?
18701	What is the meaning of this?"
18701	What is the nature of it?"
18701	What is your name?"
18701	What more can a man do, even if he has all the religion in the world?"
18701	What right had that old man to thank God for bread and water, when_ he_ never thanked him for all his great possessions?
18701	What say you?"
18701	What say you?"
18701	What shall I do if my child becomes an habitual deceiver?"
18701	What shall I do?"
18701	What was I to teach my boy,--Christ and him crucified, or the doctrines I had tried to believe?
18701	What would he say?
18701	When I think of what my sins deserve, and see the Lamb of God bearing the chastisement that should fall on me, how can I be melancholy?
18701	When the past comes up before us, All our thoughts, our acts and deeds, Shall they glean for us fair roses, Or a harvest bear of weeds?
18701	Where are you going, if I may ask?"
18701	Where could he sleep?"
18701	Where did you get it?"
18701	Where now is all the bread you have cast upon the waters?"
18701	Where was the sustaining power of boasted philosophy in this hour of darkness?
18701	Where''s Carrie?"
18701	Which like you the best-- gamblers, drunkards, and thieves, or your mother?
18701	While the years are swiftly passing, As we watch them come and go, Do we realize the maxim, We must reap whate''er we sow?
18701	Who can help us?
18701	Who is there to help us now?"
18701	Who knows how much good they will do?''
18701	Why do n''t they try to save poor old Israel Trask''s soul, and his wife''s too?"
18701	Why do n''t you tell us, so we can laugh too?"
18701	Why should God take one and not the other?
18701	Why was my fate so pitiless?
18701	Will that give you time to become acquainted with our service?"
18701	Will we always be youthful, and laughing and gay, Till the last dear companions drop smiling away?
18701	Will you not seek him when he may be found?
18701	Will you take the organist''s place this afternoon?
18701	Will you take your old place again?"
18701	With a sponge?"
18701	With great agitation he exclaimed,"Father, is that so?
18701	Wo n''t you forgive me?''"
18701	Wo n''t you go with me?"
18701	Wo n''t you stay at home and take care of me?
18701	Would he not laugh?
18701	Would she meet with such aid from him who was to be her future companion and protector?
18701	Would you have me choose for my companions those who treat you with neglect?
18701	Would you wish me to frequent places, whence I should return, careless and cold in my manner toward you?
18701	Yes, we are boys, always playing with tongue or with pen, And I sometimes have asked, shall we ever be men?
18701	You are beaten to the earth?
18701	You do n''t love her better?"
18701	You do n''t suppose that little thing will hold all my treasures, do you?
18701	You will go, will you not?
18701	Your mother do n''t mind my smoking-- do you, mother?"
18701	ai nt I as good as they?
18701	ai nt my children as hungry as theirs?"
18701	and a more solemn question is, What is the record they are making?
18701	and what do you see?"
18701	and what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?"
18701	dear old dog, could you ever forgive me if I sold you?"
18701	exclaimed Mr. Bishop,"can that be true?
18701	he cried,"ai nt it, John?"
18701	he cried,"which is right, you or I?"
18701	how are you?"
18701	interrupted the captain,"place-- what do you or I or any one else know about any other place than this world?
18701	or ran away in fear, like the child?
18701	said Edward, as he seated himself beside him;"and do you not find the breeze from the water very refreshing?"
18701	smoothing her"front"and refolding her neckerchief,"has the minister come?
18701	soliloquized the tearful pupil,"wo n''t my father give it to you for this?"
18701	that He who spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, will with him also freely give us all things?
18701	what did I see?
18701	what is this?
18701	what''ll I do with''em?"
18701	where can I get it?
18701	you do not suppose that I am silly enough to believe the Bible, with its strange fish- stories, and unaccountable yarns about miracles, etc.?"
