12933	I heard Old Walt chuckle behind me, talking incoherently to himself, and then he said,"You are wondering why I live in such a place as this?"

12933	Of course, these girls are aware that we admire them-- how could they help it?

12933	Philip asked the eunuch a needless question when he inquired,"Understandest thou what thou readest?"

12933	So I put the question to him direct:"Did you see Buffalo Bill?"
12933	Stubborn?
12933	Then the preacher spoke and his voice was sorrowful:"Oh, but I made a botch of it-- was it sarcasm or was it not?"
12933	Then what have I done concerning which the public wishes to know?
12933	Then what?
12933	Then why a monument to Shakespeare?
12933	These things being true, and all the sentiments quoted coming from"good"but blindly zealous men, is it a wonder that the Artist is not understood?
12933	Tomorrow we go-- where?
12933	Victor Hugo has said something on this subject which runs about like this: Why a monument to Shakespeare?

39283	Lord, who shall abide in Thy tabernacle? 39283 The holy teachers of all nations:"was our blessed Lord but one of them?
39283	Who then can be saved?
39283	Ye have wearied the Lord with your words;( yes, and some of His people too, in your time),"yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied Him?
39283	),"Can this Gospel of Christ be put into such plain words and short terms as that a plain man may understand it?"
39283	--What does the sea beget?
39283	After using fourteen words where seven would have done, what is it that the whole speech gets said with its much speaking?
39283	Again, what is meant by the Gospel of Christ not according to anybody?
39283	Again, what is the will of the Lord, and what does Mr. Ruskin mean by proclaiming it?
39283	And have we not felt our utter powerlessness, whether by public preaching or by private monition, to find a way to those case- hardened hearts?
39283	And if so, does it further mean that all matters of doctrine, such as are defined in the Thirty- nine Articles, are of this nature?
39283	And if, with regard to the land question, any readjustment of relations is made, will it not be made in the light of the same beneficent principle?
39283	And therefore shall we boldly dare to say that they perish altogether and for ever?
39283	And to come to the Christian law, we have the mild general principle:"If ye lend to them of whom ye hope to receive, what thank have ye?
39283	And to this the suggested answer is( whom does it offend?
39283	And what kind of wickedness is to be so visited?
39283	Antonio, in"The Merchant of Venice,"asks:"When did friendship take A_ breed_ of barren metal of his friend?"
39283	Are there many who would allow that they were"salaried"by the State at all?
39283	Are we free, or are we bound?
39283	Are we( Mr. Ruskin implies, Are we_ not_?)
39283	Are you not bid to go into_ all_ the world and preach it to every creature?
39283	But I will see Mr.---- if he has any other reason than curiosity for wishing to see me-- what does he want with me?
39283	But are there many of the clergy who would say,"I am an attached and salaried servant of the State, and nothing more?"
39283	But can we not all remember when it was just as certain that free trade in food was impracticable?
39283	But he asks,"Do we look upon ourselves as attached to any particular State, and bound to the promulgation of any particular tenets?"
39283	But is this_ all_ the Gospel?
39283	But taking this Alpine illustration for what it may be worth, we may ask,"What does it mean?"
39283	But what are the doctrines that stand in this relation, or this no- relation, to the spiritual life?
39283	But who shall say that he is wrong?
39283	But will the most incessant prayer, individual, combined, or congregational, ever bring us to perfection?
39283	Do not most look on it merely in the light of the statute on swearing?
39283	Do the conditions attached to the emoluments we receive prohibit us from holding or teaching any other opinions than those we have subscribed to?
39283	Do you wish to hear or read my comments before they are printed?
39283	Does anyone suppose that money ought to lie idle and unprofitable?
39283	Does he ask the same question of the clergy of any other portion of the Catholic Church?
39283	Does he mean that we are each to set up a theology-- a Church of his own?
39283	Does not an unwillingness to accept the true divinity of our Lord underlie this passage?
39283	Does our experience of human nature teach that a sense of gratitude for benefits received is a good security for honourable conduct?
39283	Does that expression mean,"England, with all thy faults, I love thee still"?
39283	Does the question imply that there are points of science on which it is of no consequence what opinions a teacher holds?
39283	For instance, a friend wrote to me the other day,"Will you not come here?
39283	Have you done no work in the vineyard''yet''then?
39283	Have you ever taught your congregations what that confession means?
39283	Have your congregations ever been referred to those sundry places?
39283	He who gets an estate by purchase, shall he not from that money derive an annual profit?
39283	Hence Mr. Ruskin interposes:"Are you so sure that it_ was_ the will of God that your child should die, or that you should have got into that trouble?"
39283	How do we betray it?
39283	How do we fulfil the hope in our lives?
39283	How many of your congregations can make any such kind of confession, or wish to make it?
39283	How shall a man, though at the highest he be"but a little lower than the angels,"know and comprehend the Godhead in its true and exact nature?
39283	I may say at once that I am sure it will do much good, and will be upright and intelligible, which how few religious writings are?
39283	If Christ had been perfectly insensible to the allurements of sin, where would be His fellow- feeling with us?
39283	If He knew nothing of sin from experience of its power, how could He be an example to us?
39283	In study of the Word of God?
39283	In understanding that will, and doing it, and striving to get it done( knowing their duty and doing it, and it alone)?
39283	In what sense is a clergyman like a Chamouni guide?
39283	Is it any otherwise with the Third Commandment?
39283	Is it meant that all theology should be swept away like a dusty old cobweb?
39283	Is it not so evolving itself?
39283	Is it whether the clergy are or are not teachers of universal science?
39283	Is not Mr. Ruskin, perhaps, after all, only advocating a return to primitive usage?
39283	Is not every one of its petitions for a perfect state?
39283	Is not every word of it true-- severely and austerely true,--but still true?
39283	Is not this the first of all questions which a Clerical Council has to answer in open terms?
39283	Is silver brought forth from the walls and the roof?
39283	Is this an edifying spectacle for the Malagasy?
39283	Its probable meaning is,"Is it not desirable that religious teaching should be divested of any mysteries?"
39283	MY DEAR PENRHYN,--Will you please to thank Mr. Malleson on my behalf for the Letters on the Lord''s Prayer?
39283	Must we keep all other Christians at arm''s length?
39283	My first letter contained a Layman''s plea for a clear answer to the question,"What is a clergyman of the Church of England?"
39283	Namely: as clergymen of the Church of England, do they consider themselves to be so called merely as the attached servants of a particular state?
39283	Of course you would never think of investing in consols, in railway shares, or dock- bonds, would you?
39283	On the other hand, can anything be more tremendous than the words themselves-- double- negatived:"[ Greek: ou gar mê katharisê... kurios]"?
39283	On the platform we occupy do we allow none but English Churchmen to stand?
39283	Or do we enjoy a reasonable amount of liberty and no more?
39283	Replies some slow- witted preacher:"Where is the difficulty?
39283	Right; but how many of any extant or instant congregations understand what the two words mean?
39283	Suppose you leave all that till you see what the first debate comes to?
39283	Take away these benefits, and what good is done by free lending?
39283	The preceding verse, the 26th, may well be understood to be a question-- Didst thou indeed think so?
39283	The question set down for solution implies some such inquiries as these: Is not the Church of England merely a Department of the State of England?
39283	Then again, what is this new and more than Genevan discipline that the clergyman is to enforce?
39283	There must surely be published copies of such extant, though, and worth enquiring after?
39283	What do you do with your money?
39283	What is a clergyman of the Church of England?
39283	What is simpler than beauty?
39283	What is that teaching, clearly and simply put?
39283	What is the exact question asked in Letter II.?
39283	What is the question which is put here so tersely and so pointedly?
39283	What is the teaching of the Gospel he is to teach?
39283	What is the vast uneducated world to do with these extraordinary forms of religion which are as many- sided and many- faced as their inventors?
39283	What the house for which I receive rent?
