22098Has anything been said about the 1st day yet?
22098He asks them if they had a sheep fall into the ditch on the Sabbath, if they would not haul him out?
22098Hear Paul:"Is he the God of the Jews only?
22098His answer is,"Why do ye transgress the commandment of God?"
22098How is that, says one?
22098How much better then is a man than a sheep?
22098How?
22098IF SO, WHEN, AND FOR WHAT REASON?
22098IF SO, WHEN, AND WHERE IS THE PROOF?
22098If God instituted the Sabbath in Paradise and has not abolished it here, then must it be_ perpetual_?

22098Now I ask if this looks like Sunday, the first day of the week?
22098Now we ask, if God has ever abrogated the law of the Sabbath?

22098Sick, or well, ministers or laymen, do they not ride back and forth to meeting?
22098The 2d question is, did our Lord ever trifle with, or mislead his disciples?
22098The first question is, at what age of the world is this, where our Lord recognizes the Sabbath?
22098The law of ceremonies?
22098The second question then, is this: HAS THE SABBATH BEEN ABOLISHED SINCE THE SEVENTH DAY OF CREATION?
22098The third question: WAS THE SEVENTH- DAY SABBATH EVER CHANGED?
22098Then he asked him which?

22098Yes, but what of that?
22098_ First then, the distinction of the two codes by Jesus._ The Pharisees ask the Saviour why his disciples transgress the tradition of the elders?
22098_ Has the Sabbath been abolished since the seventh day of creation?
22098_ Was the seventh day Sabbath ever changed?
22098_ When was the Sabbath instituted?_ Here we have endeavored to show when, and how it continued until its re- enactment on Mount Sinai.

22098every one that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it,( does he mean me?
22098iii: 31, he closes with this language:"Do we then make void the law through faith?
22098our Saviour says to his disciples, in answer to their questions, When shall these things be?
22098why not five or ten days, or any other number?
22098xvi: 23) and then state that the seventh day Sabbath commenced, as_ some_ will have it?

27266Is he the God of the Jews only? 27266 Well,"says one,"what is the meaning of the texts which you have quoted, where it speaks of Sabbaths?"

27266--What_ law_ is here established?
2726616, 17 v._ Who are the true Israelites?_ Answer, God''s people.
27266A question was asked, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?
27266Again, if the Sabbath was not instituted in Paradise, why did Moses mention it in connection with the creation of the world?
27266Again, is it right and lawful to carry forth our dead on the Sabbath?
27266And God''s people did respond to that call and come out, does any one ask where from?
27266And did not God require them to keep THE Sabbath before he made this covenant with them in Horeb?
27266Are these_ shadows_?
27266Are we_ all_ right?
27266But did they not keep the commandments of God before this company was developed?
27266But do not some of the rest go in?
27266But says the reader, there are tens of thousands that are looking for Jesus, that do nt believe the above doctrines, what will become of them?
27266By what authority do you call the seventh day Sabbath, the Jewish Sabbath?
27266Can it be proved that God ever altered or changed the truth?
27266Can it be supposed that his fixing on upon_ seven_ was accidential?
27266Dare you run such a risk because the great mass of professed believers in Christendom are doing so?
27266Did he break the Sabbath?
27266Did he keep the commandments?
27266Did not God say that Abraham kept his commandments, statutes, and laws?
27266Did our Saviour ever meet with his disciples on the first day of the week after the[ 39]evening of the day of his resurrection?
27266Do you ask for any more evidence that these are the Jewish Sabbaths, and that God''s Sabbath is separate from them?
27266Do you ask for the foundation for this mass of evidence?
27266Do you ask for the proof?
27266Do you perceive that the seventh day Sabbath is God''s first_ law_ for man?
27266Do you think you can be saved by such a_ faith_ and_ practice_?
27266Does he not say that he is the Shepherd of the Sheep?--What, of the Jews only?
27266Does not Isaiah say that God will bless the_ man_, and the_ son_ of_ man_, and the_ sons_ of the_ stranger_, that keep THE Sabbath?
27266Does the changing of the law by the little horn bring peace?
27266Does this differ from the_ law_ of God?
27266Does this look like abolishing the Sabbath day?
27266Echo answers, who can alter this covenant?
27266Has anything been said about the 1st day yet?
27266He asks them if they had a sheep fall into the ditch on the Sabbath, if they would not haul him out?
27266He says"Blessed is the_ man_( are not the Gentiles men?)
27266Hear Paul:"Is he the God of the Jews only?
27266His answer is,"Why do ye transgress the commandment of God?"
27266How is that, says one?
27266How much better then is a man than a sheep?
27266How?
27266How?
27266I ask if it could be so if any of the_ law_ should fail?
27266IF SO WHEN, AND FOR WHAT REASON?
27266IF SO, WHEN, AND WHERE IS THE PROOF?
27266If you do n''t know, why are you so sure that the_ first_ day is right?
27266Indeed it is impossible that the law of God could be changed; do you say it is possible I may be mistaken?
27266Is he not also of the Gentiles?

27266Is not this the same_ law_ as in Luke 16: 17?
27266Is there an individual with common sense in the world that dare risk his reputation in such kind of logic?
27266Is this a safe rule for us?
27266Jesus"said unto him what is written in the LAW?
27266Now I ask if this looks like Sunday, the first day of the week?
27266Now has this new covenant been broken by man as was the first?
27266Now we ask, if God has ever abrogated the law of the Sabbath?
27266Now what is this faith or"testimony of Jesus?"
27266Now why this preference for the number_ seven_?
27266Of what_ law_?
27266Once more,"One came and said unto him, good master what good thing shall I do that I may have eternal life?
27266Once more: He says the Gentiles having not the_ law_, are a_ law_ unto themselves.--Why?
27266Page 26: perish with their using?
27266Says one, has not the ceremonial law been annulled and nailed to the cross?
27266Says the reader, what do you think about those that have died in faith, keeping the first day Sabbath?
27266Sick, or well, ministers or laymen, do they not ride back and forth to meeting?
27266The 2d question is, did our Lord ever trifle with or mislead his disciples?
27266The law of ceremonies?
27266The lawyer says,"Master what shall I do to inherit eternal life?"
27266The second question then, is this: HAS THE SABBATH BEEN ABOLISHED SINCE THE SEVENTH DAY OF CREATION?
27266The third question: WAS THE SEVENTH DAY SABBATH EVER CHANGED?
27266To what people_ did_ the Sabbath belong at the destruction of Jerusalem, nearly forty years after the crucifixion?
27266Very well then, does not the_ seventh_ come the day before the eighth?
27266WHO ARE THE TRUE ISRAEL?
27266Was not the second covenant written on the hearts of the Gentile, even the law of Commandments?
27266Well then how does it come to be understood at this point of time?
27266Well, were they not all good christians that obeyed and came out of Babylon?
27266Well, who are left out?
27266What are they, Lord?

27266What did the apostle say were_ shadows_?
27266What do you mean Paul?
27266What do you mean by_ beginning_?
27266What does God say of Abraham?
27266What does he mean by shadow?
27266What for?
27266What is the reason of this?
27266What was it?
27266When and where has God abolished his_ commandments_ and laws?
27266When, and where did God ever sanctify the_ first_, or any other day but the seventh to be kept for a holy day of rest?
27266Where do you draw the distinguishing line, to show which is and which is not MAN between the_ natural seed of Abraham_ and the Gentiles?

27266Who is the stranger?
27266Who shall settle this question?
27266Who then can alter this covenant?

27266Why did he say,"Think not I am come to destroy the_ law_ or the prophets?
27266Why then has the church lost sight of them?
27266Why was it Paul''s manner always to preach on the seventh day Sabbath to Jews and Gentiles?
27266Why?
27266Why?
27266Why?
27266Why?
27266Will God ever justify any living soul for attempting to keep one of the six working days holy?
27266Will he break it, then think ye?
27266Yes, but what of that?
27266[ 5]THE SABBATH FIRST QUESTION IS, WHEN WAS THE SABBATH INSTITUTED?

27266ix: 5. Who believes that the person that refrains from worshiping''idols or images,''will be saved for that?
27266or because he honors his father or mother?
27266or because he is no murderer?
27266or does not commit adultery, or steal, or bear false witness, or covet, or not swear?

27266unless he meant it to be dated from that very day?
27266vii: 19, and says circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing,( what_ is_, Paul?)
27266why not five or ten days, or any other number?
27266xvi: 23) and then state that the seventh day Sabbath commenced, as_ some_ will have it?

45537Bud,said the minister, turning suddenly away from his book- shelves,"how many persons are there at Snyder''s?"
45537Bud,she said, stopping at the bell- rope where he tolled the bell,"if you will let me take your Bible after church-- did you bring it with you?
45537Bud,she said,"are you going to see me home through this snow- storm?

45537How do you know I want you to do anything?
45537How does she know that any of us are Christians?
45537How many things you are going to do to- morrow, Claire? 45537 How pretty it is,"Claire said, watching the crimson silk flowers grow on the canvas under skillful fingers;"do you enjoy working on it?"
45537How? 45537 I beg pardon, ma''am,"he said, and even at that moment he waited to lift his hat,"did you fall?
45537I beg your pardon,she said, sympathetically,"does your ankle pain you so badly?
45537I know she is''gooder,''that is what I say; but ought not we to be the same? 45537 I reckon it would be the truth, sir; cause how would they know how to make it up alike?"
45537I wonder how the old church would do?
45537I wonder if Joe and Charlie would not help us?
45537I wonder if one thing that I have to tell will surprise you, or vex you, or whether you will not care anything about it? 45537 Is Louis Ansted going with you?"
45537Is he inclined to accompany me, do you think? 45537 Is he still on terms of special intimacy with the VanMarters?"
45537Is it a sprain, do you think?
45537Is it true about the society owing him?
45537Is n''t she sweet?
45537Is n''t there anything else?
45537Is she nice? 45537 Is that brief and abrupt enough?"
45537Is there hope that he will in time?
45537Mamma, Alice, where are some of you?
45537Mamma, do you know? 45537 May I ask you why?"
45537Miss Ansted,he said, and she noticed that his voice trembled,"would you tell me one thing that I want to know right away?"
45537Mr. Ansted, do you know, I wish I could enlist both you and your sisters as helpers in the renovation of the old church down town?
45537Mr. Ansted, why do n''t you help him?
45537Now, who is going to enlighten her? 45537 Of what special use is it for me to suggest ways, since you receive them with such determined refusals?"
45537Oh, Claire, do you suppose papa knows of all these little stings that we have to bear? 45537 Oh, did you see Mr. Strausser?
45537Oh, is it possible you do n''t remember him? 45537 Oh, then let me put the question a little differently: Do you believe in Jesus Christ?"
45537Paid? 45537 The building is the outward sign of His presence, is it not?
45537Then we ca n''t_ coax_ people to buy tickets?
45537Then, am I to understand that you do n''t know but you may be one?
45537They expect him back to- morrow?
45537Uncle Harold, did n''t you know the Benedicts?
45537WHY are not the Ansted girls included among our workers?
45537We wo n''t fail,said Ruth indignantly,"and if we do, ca n''t you conceive of the possibility of our being honest?
45537Well, but suppose this half- awakened person were married to the party in China-- what then?
45537Well, what am I talking about? 45537 Were you educated for the bar, Miss Benedict?
45537What Benedicts?
45537What are you talking about?
45537What do you mean?
45537What do you mean?
45537What have we here?
45537What in the world are they?
45537What is in the way, Mr. Matthews? 45537 What is the accelerating cause?"
45537What is the verse?
45537What is there pleasant in Chester? 45537 What_ is_ the matter with her?"
45537When do you intend to start? 45537 Where are they?"
45537Where is the family? 45537 Who does it?"
45537Who is Bud?
45537Who is Harold Chessney?
45537Who is she?
45537Who is your recruit?
45537Who would come?
45537Why do you say''perhaps,''you naughty croaker? 45537 Why do you want to go, Bud?"
45537Why does n''t it?
45537Why does not your mother know?
45537Why has she not been exerting her influence to help poor Louis?
45537Why on earth do you wish to know that? 45537 Why was father, a man so good, so true, so grand, so sadly needed in this wicked world, snatched from it just in the prime of his power?"
45537Why, I wonder?
45537Why?
45537Will you allow me to ask_ you_ one question, Mr. Ansted? 45537 Will you tell me which one of the three reasons you gave is yours?"
45537Wo n''t you please tell me why?
45537Wo n''t you simply answer it?
45537Would mamma be so kind as to call on Mr. Parkhurst, the one who was chief man at the carpet factory up there by papa''s old mill, you know? 45537 Would you marry a man, if you thought you might possibly be the means of saving his soul?"
45537Would you, I wonder? 45537 Yes, as one who once lived in person on this earth, and died on a cross, and went back to heaven, and is to come again at some future time?"
45537You can read, ca n''t you?
45537You did not know you had company, did you, my boy?
45537You seem to like that work?
45537A word even about Louis Ansted:"Would mamma pray for him, too?
45537About these things nothing must be said, yet could not something be done?
45537And if Jesus could do such great things for Jack, and really wanted_ him_ could he not plan the way?
45537And now I am burning with a desire to ask a rude question: Why do you care to do anything with it?
45537And now his face plainly asked the question:"Why do_ you_ care?"
45537And suggests one of the ways in which we can show our love for the God to whose worship the church is dedicated?"
45537And the other is: Will you all agree to invite them to join us, and do it heartily?"
45537And then he spoke:''Miss Benedict, is it?
45537Ansted?"
45537Ansted?"
45537Ansted?"
45537Are you a Christian?"
45537Are you injured?
45537Are you ready, Bud?"
45537Are you willing to use it for Louis''sake?"
45537As they neared Harry''s door, he said:"What is young Ansted about just now?"
45537Besides, he makes his money in that way; why should n''t he patronize himself?"
45537But I do not know, she might rather have said:"Why in the world must I go to South Plains?
45537But I live such a pent- up, every- day life that I have to say things to you once in a while, else what would become of me?"
45537But how was all this to be done?
45537But that lady unconsciously helped her by asking:"Did you ever meet Mr. Harold Chessney in Boston?
45537But what was the use?
45537But where to begin?
45537But, Miss Benedict, do you believe much could be made just out of hair- pins?"
45537Ca n''t we be told in any way?"
45537Can you imagine something of the contrast?
45537Certainly, this dilemma had its ludicrous side, but had it not also its humiliating one?
45537Claire Benedict, will you try?"
45537Claire questioned to get at the utmost of his knowledge:"And did n''t Jack tell you anything about Jesus and Heaven?"
45537Claire, do you remember how Emmeline''s taste in dress used to amuse him?
45537Claire, do you remember the time papa signed that ten thousand dollar note for her father?
45537Could this be true?
45537Could words better fitted to meet Bud''s heart have been marked in his Bible?
45537Did I tell you about the rusty stoves, whose rusty and cobwebby pipes seemed to wander at their own erratic will about that church?
45537Did he say at what hour?
45537Did he think at all?
45537Did he want her?
45537Did n''t Mary remember that the dear father was dead?
45537Did she grudge him that?
45537Did she not know that he was tempted to reel home at midnight like a common drunkard?
45537Did you ever notice how strangely the avenues for employment which have been just at your side seem to close when there is need?
45537Did you ever notice that the storms of life seem almost never to come in detached waves, but follow each other in rapid succession?
45537Did you ever see a more starched- up linen cuff than this is?"
45537Did you ever try to think what that singing would sound like?"
45537Did you never notice, Claire, that it is impossible to get through a single day just as one plans it?"
45537Did you read a verse each day?"
45537Did you run over her?
45537Did you store it with the other things?
45537Do n''t you really think that Satan has a good deal of control, Miss Benedict?"
45537Do n''t you remember, dear, there can never be another parting from papa?
45537Do n''t you see?
45537Do n''t you think mamma might be made comfortable in South Plains for the winter?
45537Do n''t you think you do, a little?"
45537Do n''t you understand?
45537Do you dare to think that anything will be less than perfect after the weeks of labor we have given it?"
45537Do you have any conception of what a difference it makes to be around the corner from things, instead of being on the same street with them?
45537Do you know anything of his family, Miss Benedict?"
45537Do you mean he will lie there helpless for the rest of his life?"
45537Do you mean that I am foreordained to become a drunkard, and that I can not help myself?"
45537Do you really find it easier to get along with life, now that you have not time to think, as you used?"
45537Do you see how entirely my tongue is silenced?
45537Do you see the accumulation of troubles?
45537Do you shrink from it very much?"
45537Do you suppose St. Paul had to patronize fairs, and buy slippers and things, for the benefit of churches in Ephesus or Corinth?"
45537Do you think Bud could not comprehend as much as that?"
45537Do you think the indications unfavorable?"
45537Do you understand that?
45537Do you understand?
45537Does that old worn- out church really fill your heart as it seems to, so that you can be happy without papa?
45537Executive ability?
45537For purposes of convenience, let us have these two people engaged to each other, but the pledge not consummated before the public-- what then?"
45537Girls, I wonder what the Ansteds think?"
45537Girls,_ will_ the old red curtains do for dusters, do you believe, if we wash them tremendously?"
45537Had poor Bud really met the Lord in the way?
45537Had she been foolish in thus almost stealing his promise?
45537Had she ever before leaned her heart on Christ as she was learning now to do?
45537Had she really missed things of that sort so much?
45537Had the old church won her heart?
45537Has Harold told you that I have found help at last?"
45537Has he mentioned to you my designs?"
45537Has such experience ever been yours?
45537Have I the right?
45537Have n''t I heard that he was connected with one of the distilleries?"
45537Have you a Bible?"
45537Have you been in Chester yet, Miss Benedict?
45537Have you met her?"
45537Have you promised your mother not to sign it?"
45537He tried, however, to steady his voice as he said:"Miss Benedict, what do you mean?
45537He wants to go to school, did you know it?
45537He wants to study arithmetic; it is an absurd idea, I think; what will he ever want of arithmetic?
45537Her eyes must be opened, but how?
45537Here is the opportunity, but where are the words?"
45537How came they to fall into the habit of going so far?"
45537How came this gay young nephew, who had cost him many sleepless nights, to be sufficiently familiar with a prayer- meeting to know who prayed, or how?
45537How can I best help you?"
45537How can I tell that mother that she has robbed herself of her son?
45537How can there be a mistake?"
45537How convince him of his queer mistake?
45537How could I hope to approach your mother on such subjects as these, without having her feel herself insulted?"
45537How could she and her girls help that pastor?
45537How could she exert it so that it would tell on Bud forever?
45537How could she help remembering that in the old home she had been Sidney Benedict''s daughter?
45537How do such things occur?
45537How do you bear it?"
45537How does Pierce know but that in six months it will be Mr. Van Antwerp''s turn?
45537How is it, my boy?"
45537How long would our poor bodies be in breaking under the strain?
45537How many times have you blistered your poor little fingers trying to lift out a hot and heavy pie from the oven?"
45537How much did it mean?
45537How would Claire have answered this question?
45537How?"
45537I did not know that Louis Ansted ever had any such plans, did you?"
45537I do n''t mind the storm, though; only, why did I come?
45537I have always heard that the country was the place to get pies, and custards, and all such good things?"
45537I have changed a great deal since that night you refused to ride with me, have n''t I?
45537I have n''t written so to you before, have I?
45537I have plans which I want to talk over with you to- morrow?"
45537I should like to know just what made the difference?"
45537I wonder if God means me to?
45537I wonder if she has seen better days?"
45537I wonder if there is any way in which I am to help her, and if this is a beginning?"
45537I wonder if you do understand?"
45537I wonder if you ever went through a large, elegantly furnished house, from room to room, and dismantled it?
45537I wonder when they began with such things, mother?
45537I wonder who will have our rooms-- our dear old rooms?
45537If this were the form of cross that she was to bear, it was peculiar, certainly; but why not bear it as well as any other?
45537Is it strictly benevolence, may I ask?"
45537Is my father''s money all gone?"
45537Is n''t it a blessed thing that it is so?
45537Is n''t it curious how time moves along steadily, after the object for which we think time was made has slipped away?
45537Is n''t it queer that she has never sung for us?"
45537Is n''t that a terrible thing to say of one''s brother?
45537Is n''t that the way the advertisements head?"
45537Is not her interest deep enough and her influence strong enough to come to the rescue if she fully understood?"
45537Is she a singer?"
45537Is she losing her mind?"
45537Is that any reason why he should have insulted me?
45537Is that so?"
45537Is there another committee meeting this evening?
45537It could all be suggested to those familiar with the intricacies of the human heart, by that one little word, Why?
45537It is all marked off into verses-- and will you begin to- night?"
45537It meant that she helped at the fancy fairs, and festivals, and bazaars, and what not?
45537It seems wrong to talk about worshipping God in a place that is not even clean, does n''t it?"
45537It would be midnight and after before you could reach the city, and then where would you go?
45537Let me see, are you not all my music pupils?
45537Look at the snow coming down, and we have a rehearsal to- night; do n''t you believe he can shovel paths, as well as make fires?"
45537Louis, can you believe it possible?
45537Louis, too, contributed something besides his fine tenor voice:"What makes your stove smoke so, Bud?"
45537Louis, what has become of that piano- stool we used to have in our library in town?
45537Mamma, do you think Claire ought to attempt so much?"
45537Mamma, what do you suppose Claire would do if she were poor?"
45537May I ask you what possible good it can do you to burden yourself with such senseless confidences as these?"
45537Might I go?
45537Might it not as well have been in Greek?
45537Miss Benedict changed her tactics:"Girls, wait; let me ask you, are Fannie and Ella Ansted Christians?"
45537Miss Benedict, do you sing''Easter Bells?''
45537Money must certainly be earned, but the grave question was, How?
45537Must it be that they were to be opened by the utter ruin of her only son?
45537Now I ask you a straightforward question: What do you want me to do?
45537Now the question is, what shall we do to the poor fellow?"
45537Now what and where was Jerusalem?
45537Now, do you see any particular enjoyment in that sort of thing?"
45537Now, is n''t that an interesting little romance for a young fellow like me to think out, especially when I do n''t know a thing about it?
45537Now, may I ask you to leave further particulars until another time?
45537Now, what do you want of me?"
45537Oh, mamma, have you that broth ready for aunt Kate?
45537One is: Which is it that stands aloof, and makes no effort to help others, you or the Ansted girls, if you know Christ and they do not?
45537One of the less timid presently rallied sufficiently to make answer:"Dreadful?
45537One question Claire puzzled over in silence: Did the minister really preach a better sermon that evening?
45537One question more:"Will others be sufferers through this disaster?"
45537Ought he not to be equally ready to defend this much- slandered Bible?
45537Ought she to have spoken so hopelessly to him?
45537Ought the boys and girls with whom we five spend so much time, to feel that we just belong to their set, and are in no sense different from them?
45537Ought there not to be some word which an educated man like himself could give in haste to an ignorant boy like Bud?
45537Remember?
45537Ruth, my dear, do they know that you desire to have them happy in Christ, and that you pray for this every day?"
45537Sad- hearted she often was, but what good that those young things should see it?
45537Said Mary Burton:"I wonder what it means, any way, to come out from among them and be separate?
45537Shall I immediately claim relationship?"
45537She could not think of anything else to say, and if she could, what use to say it?
45537She had spoken many words to him; she had written him earnest little notes; what use to say more?
45537She went straight to the centre of the subject:"Then, Mr Ansted, wo n''t you join his army, and come over and help us?"
45537Small wonder, this last, if you had known how many patient hours mamma and Dora had spent in reaching the important decision,"Which shall we send?"
45537So there was only himself to be startled by a low voice from one who had been for so many weeks speechless:"Harold, is it you?"
45537Something so plain that even the pony need not wait while it was being explained?
45537Stuart?"
45537Suppose I am a Christian, what then?
45537Suppose we actually bore on our hearts the individual griefs of the world?
45537Sydney L. He failed, and died, less than a year ago, do n''t you remember?"
45537Tell me this, do you know that he is in danger?"
45537Tell me what next?"
45537That is singular, is it not?
45537That ought to comfort the friends, ought it not?
45537The desolation of a soul that had no heaven to look to, touched her strangely just then:"Bud, you are going there to hear the music, are you not?"
45537Then Alice:"Mamma, are not such things a sort of cruel kindness?
45537Then a younger voice:"Miss Claire, you will drill me on my recitation, wo n''t you?
45537Then one of them gasped out:"Us girls?"
45537There was a moment''s silence, then Mary Burton asked:"Do you really suppose there is no difference between us and others?
45537They do not stand outside of political questions where they have a settled opinion; why do they in this?"
45537This little favor that I am about to ask, will you promise to grant?"
45537This was his next timidly- put question:"Did you ever go there, Miss Ansted?"
45537Too late for what?
45537WELL, surely there was a chance to teach music to private pupils?
45537WHY?
45537WHY?
45537Was ever such an embarrassing question thrust at him?
45537Was it all a mistake?
45537Was it as emphatic a refusal as poor Louis understood it?
45537Was it the same church at all?
45537Was it well for her to sit down weeping, and dumb, because he had entered the palace a little in advance?
45537Was n''t it too bad?
45537Was she vain of her voice?
45537Was that a compliment, girls, or an insult?
45537Was there any harm in her realizing it?
45537Was there ever a man under such a direct fire of personal questions hard to answer?
45537Was there ever a more bewildered young lady than this one who sat on the carriage stool?
45537Was there something that she might say, and ought to say?
45537Was this an opportunity?
45537We have a good deal of snow for this region, have we not?
45537Well, do you know there is something you might do to help him?"
45537Well, in that case, what would he think of the music of the angels?
45537Well, what did he say?"
45537Well, what then?
45537Were you ever in Boston?"
45537What business was there in this direction which could require so much attention?
45537What can I do?"
45537What can you fancy it possible for me to do for him?"
45537What could I say to your mother that she does not already know?
45537What could have so completely turned his foolish brain?
45537What could she ask that would not be easy enough, now that the total abstinence pledge was out of the way?
45537What denomination are they?"
45537What did Bud think about as he rubbed?
45537What did Claire Benedict find in him to interest her?
45537What did all this mean?
45537What did she suppose that she, Alice Ansted, could do to help him?
45537What did that mean?
45537What did the fellow mean?
45537What did the verse mean, that he had read so many times, that now it seemed to glow before him on the sun- lighted snow?
45537What did this girl know of the charmed life which she had lived at home, and of the father who had been its centre?
45537What do you say now, girls?"
45537What do you see that I could do, if I were what you mean by being a Christian?"
45537What do you suppose is the matter with me?
45537What do you want me to do, give you a receipt?
45537What do you want me to do?"
45537What do you want?"
45537What does this mean?"
45537What else?"
45537What excuse could she give?
45537What had become of the strong, bright, willing spirit with which she had been wo nt to take hold of life?
45537What had happened to the man?
45537What has become of the Ansted pride, when I can say it to almost a stranger?"
45537What if he turned in despair, and plunged into excesses such as he had not known before?
45537What if they failed?
45537What in the world is she doing here?"
45537What in the world was that minister to say?
45537What is it to be a Christian, Miss Benedict?"
45537What is that you are sitting on?
45537What is the immediate cause?"
45537What is the use of trying to live pain over again on paper?
45537What is there that you want me to do?"
45537What is wounded, my pride?"
45537What more can you imagine he wants?"
45537What on earth is there that I could do for a great, ignorant, blundering clod like Bud?
45537What on earth is there that I could do, even if I wanted to do anything in that direction, which I do n''t?"
45537What ought the Fiji to do?"
45537What possible excuse could be offered for such a state of things?
45537What shall I do?"
45537What then?
45537What was it?
45537What was she to say to him?
45537What was the burden of the sermon?
45537What was the old church to him now that he had entered into the church triumphant?
45537What was there that she could accomplish here and now?
45537What was there that she could say to him?
45537What was to be done?
45537What would mamma think to see me on the dark street alone?"
45537What, for instance, am I to say to ideas like these?
45537What, in your estimation, ought the half- awakened Fiji resident to do?"
45537What_ could_ it mean?
45537When he could speak again he said:"My dear boy, have you told your mother?"
45537When was her opportunity?
45537Where do you think we found them?
45537Where would be the church of Christ without its living, working members?
45537Who but the Maker of human hearts could have planned Bud''s education in this way?
45537Who had said that the seats were ever to be cushioned?
45537Why am I wanted, Mr. Chessney?
45537Why are not you one?"
45537Why could she not have known that her music- scholar was to disappoint her, and so had the benefit of a ride?
45537Why did n''t you come to the committee meeting, Dora?"
45537Why did not his mother win him, or his sister?
45537Why did not she?
45537Why did respectable people permit such a disgrace?
45537Why do I not want to look this thing in the face?
45537Why do n''t you have it tuned?
45537Why do you ask me all these questions, Alice?
45537Why do you ask?"
45537Why do you care, Bud, where it is?"
45537Why do you suppose we had to be interrupted in our plans, and almost stand still and do nothing, while you lay on a couch with a sprained ankle?
45537Why does it interest you in the least?
45537Why have n''t they a duty concerning it, rather than a stranger in their midst?"
45537Why not enter it at once, instead of waiting in idleness and suspense through the winter for something better?
45537Why should not other families in South Plains beat eggs in comfort?
45537Why should those giving satisfaction, and needing the money, be discharged, to make room for her who needed it no less?
45537Why, Miss Benedict, is it possible that you have not discovered that they belong to a higher sphere?
45537Why, Uncle Harold, how could you?
45537Why, do n''t you know you are the same as saying that the Lord Jesus Christ has not told the truth?
45537Will you let me ask you a few plain questions?
45537Will you tell me about it?
45537Will you try?"
45537Will you?"
45537Wo n''t you be frank about the matter, Mr. Ansted?
45537Would Claire Benedict have been likely to have marked that particular verse for him?
45537Would he give her his name?
45537Would it be of any use to call through this rising wind for assistance?
45537Would it do to let the young fellow know that she knew it was?
45537Would not simple truth serve her purpose in this case?
45537Would she, on the next bright day, take the blue car line and ride up there and talk with him?
45537Would you help in a perplexity that seems to me to be growing into a downright danger, and which I more than half suspect you could avert?"
45537Would you marry a man who was not a Christian?"
45537Would you think that they had told the truth or a made- up story?"
45537Yes, but how bring it to pass?
45537Yet how many times in your life have you personally known of them-- families who are millionnaires to- day, and beggars to- morrow?
45537You can not mean that?"
45537You do n''t expect me, I hope, to describe that interview?
45537You do n''t think of renewing it, I hope?
45537You have been up there, have n''t you?
45537_ Would_ those girls ever know what a cross it had been to her, Claire Benedict, to come to South Plains and teach them music?
45537and do you imagine, I wonder, what it is to_ me_, when I have humbled myself to tell it all to you?"
45537and in any case, how could she materially help your brother?
45537and is Bud the converted heathen?"
45537and is South Plains Fiji?
45537and what did he propose to say next?
45537and what is the object of the journey, I wonder?"
45537and why are the girls here?"
45537but how can I help it?"
45537do n''t you think our very next thing, or, at least, one of the next, ought to be a furnace?
45537have you never heard the minister urge you to give yourself to Jesus?"
45537or can I hope to have you to myself for five minutes?"
45537or must you make haste up the hill?"
45537or were they led along step by step?"
45537repeated Ruth, great dismay in her voice,"us?"
45537said a familiar voice,"what''s the matter?
45537she asked as though a new thought came to her with the union of the two names,"and are you going to the Rocky Mountains?"
45537she asked,"or only a sort of twist?
45537she wondered, and was this her special opportunity?
45537the old brick rookery on the corner?
45537was not heaven before her, and an eternity there, with her father who had just preceded the family by a few days?
45537was she not the child of a King?
