26441''But where do you cook your food?''
26441''It must be very hard work?''
26441''Well, Annie, how do you make a living now?''
26441--can anybody well get along with all this, without Religion?
26441And are they not both struggling with the realities of life, and moved by quenchless desires, and looking up into the same infinite mystery?
26441And have n''t I been working all the time to fetch in something to eat, and for the fire, and for clothes?
26441And have you ever looked into this matter of crime?
26441And if it is asked--"Why are they not equal?"
26441And what are we, that we dare to cherish this exclusive horror, this pitiless, unrelenting scorn?
26441And whither do they retire at night?"
26441And who can estimate their influence over these busy tides of action, all day long?
26441And who does not perceive how much the character of that influence must depend upon the condition of those homes?
26441And why delineate the features of that other class of homes, whose most significant word is"_ Privation_?"
26441And will not its votaries find now, as then, that it entices with the embrace of death and the fascination of hell?
26441And, doubtless, you have sometimes busied yourself with the speculation--"Where do all these people come from?
26441And, surely, it becomes each of us to consider the tendencies of his own example, and ask--"Is it toward the right or the wrong?
26441And, surely, it is no vain speculation that inquires--"What are they?
26441And, therefore, is not any practice which serves these, a service of God?
26441And, with all this, may we not expect that fierce instinct of selfishness which overwhelms every other impulse, and breaks out in crime?
26441Are not the just, the useful, the beautiful, from God, as well as the good and the holy?
26441Art thou become like unto us?"
26441Art thou become like unto us?"
26441Ask_ Yourself_--"Need he have gone outside this very door to find temptation?"
26441But are these forms of life, is your presence here or mine, any more substantial than those that have sunk away?
26441But how can we regulate an irregularity?
26441But is there nothing but this to explain the power which evil has upon men, in the midst of the great city?
26441But is this really the best plan?
26441But suppose we make the system a strict one, what process should be employed?
26441But what is the precise sentence to be passed upon this prevalent luxury?
26441But, my friends, what do we mean by"public sanction,"or"public neglect?"
26441But, really, one of the most practical questions that can be asked is--"_Why_ is this one, or that one, a criminal?"
26441China, India, Africa, will you not find their features in some circles of the social world right around you?
26441Did it not bear the same Circean cup through the halls of Nineveh and Babylon, and fling CÃ ¦ sars and Alexanders to the ground?
26441Did it not wear the same seductive smile and harlot tinsel when it walked the streets of Tyre, and reclined in the decorated chambers of Egypt?
26441Did n''t He take away my father since before I can remember him?
26441Do I say that the guilt should be imputed to the condition-- that it is all owing to circumstances?
26441Do you think these were made of better texture than those who blacken and fester yonder?
26441For, let me ask, who among these crowds of citizens are really honored?

26441How can you regulate an obstruction that is involved with the springs of a machine, or the works of a clock?
26441I ask-- what made our Revolution legitimate?
26441If, on the other hand, they are a benefit to mankind; a good gift of Providence, as some seem to think; why should we hamper their circulation?
26441In other words, let us inquire-- in what way do respectable and harmless people, as they deem themselves, become Allies of the Tempter?
26441Into what retreats do the elements of this busy crowd dissolve, night after night?"
26441Is it for, or against the good?"
26441Is it not the same old guilt, the same sophistry and foolishness, here in New York, that it always has been?
26441Is not all the spring of benevolent effort, then, in this single proposition of Religion?
26441Is not the effect of miracle in the electric wire?
26441Nay, all this splendid civilization, what is it but a sparkling ripple in the calm eternity of God?
26441Need I paint the costume and the scenery, and describe the sad and awful drama in which these children play their parts?
26441On the contrary, is not Freedom that old truth, that conceded premise that does_ not_ agitate?
26441Or do you know it only as a monstrous fact in the social mechanism, and in the records of human nature?
26441Or, take the following instance, which I extract from the Records of one of the Benevolent Societies of our own city:"Can you read or write?
26441Shall it be so with this Republic, because false to its ideal?
26441Stepping up to him I said--''Well, my boy, you seem to enjoy the fun very much; but why do n''t you lay down your load of sticks?''...
26441Strike it out of existence to- day, and what would be the condition of the world to- morrow?
26441Sufficient evidence of sin and folly in those who do this, to be sure; but in what way do these allurements present themselves?
26441The bell beats; and what old bugle- strain, what pibroch, what rattling drum, ever sounded a more perilous call?
26441The field for precedence is it not a broad one, and close at hand?
26441The printing- press was not absolutely necessary to Nimrod, or to Julius CÃ ¦ sar, but is it not absolutely necessary now?
26441The printing- press, is it not the gift of tongues?
26441There are times when our thoughts rise above all specific instances, and we take up humanity and existence as a whole, and ask--"What means it all?"
26441War and Captivity in the midst of peace and refinement-- is it not, my friends?

26441Who does not see that not only the interest of the common humanity in its most intimate experiences attaches to them, but the interest of community?
26441Why should we allow one man the privilege of distributing such a blessing, and forbid another who, no doubt, is equally zealous for the public good?
26441Why, who needs to be told of the potency of this our earliest school, to say nothing of other influences, if only a faithful_ mother_ presides there?
26441You may ask--"Who has tempted even my very child?"
26441and do we not discover a counterpart to that saddest feature of all in such circumstances-- a desecration even of the parental instinct?
26441did the Jew behold any hosts more terrible pressing into Jerusalem, than you and I might see if we looked about us?
26441does it not make Dives look very much like Lazarus, and show our common weakness, and reveal the common marvel of this"harp of thousand strings?"
26441were men ever bound by a darker chain, or trampled by a harder heel, than those victims of destitution and of their own passions?

60915To whom shouldst thou go, but to JESUS CHRIST? 60915 What kind of a Saviour then is it, for whom all nature thus cries aloud, through all her works?
60915Why WILL YE die, O house of Israel? 60915 Will ye also go away?"
60915--Is it so, thou Blessed Apostle?
60915Against the united efforts of such formidable enemies, where shall we find armour of sufficient proof?
60915And are these the blessings, by which thou art to be distinguished from the rest of thy sex?
60915And can these men be said to"prosper in whatsoever they do?"
60915And canst thou not, O Christian, have as much Faith in thy SAVIOUR, as one frail mortal has in another?
60915And now, my brethren, is not such a Knowledge of GOD worth possessing?
60915And what is it that hinders us from having such a view of our real misery?
60915Are not their souls as much bowed down by the weight of their sinful nature, as their bodies by temporal evils and infirmities?
60915Are they not often destitute of spiritual as well as of worldly comforts?
60915But are not many good men afflicted inwardly, as well as outwardly?
60915But didst thou ever attend to the true and only means, by which the Scriptures have assured thee this conquest may be obtained?
60915But here the grand question may be asked-- How doth GOD manifest himself to his creatures?
60915But how is this privilege to be obtained?
60915But if GOD is willing to save all, Why are not all saved?
60915But in what manner was the appearance of this illustrious Babe made known to the world?
60915But shall their conduct have the least influence upon yours?
60915But what could oppress or afflict the heart of the Meek and Innocent JESUS?
60915But where are the ensigns of royalty?
60915But where is his happiness all the while?
60915For, who that looks upon his work as already done, will chuse to labour any longer?
60915Hast thou never coveted, been jealous, angry, revengeful, bitter, and implacable?
60915Hast thou never felt thyself swoln with pride, or burning with envy?
60915Hast thou so?
60915He cries aloud for help?--"What shall I do to be saved?"
60915Here then a serious and inquiring mind may be ready to ask-- How is this BLESSED REDEEMER to become my Righteousness?
60915How sayest thou then, shew us the Father?"
60915I then concluded with asking you, whether such a Knowledge of GOD as I had been describing, was not worth your possessing?
60915In a conflict so long and arduous, where shall we meet with such supplies of strength, as will enable us to contend and finally to overcome?
60915Indeed,"to whom shall we go?"
60915Is this to be"highly favoured?"
60915Must thy spotless Babe, at the very instant of his birth, enter upon his Labour of Love?
60915My business was to plant, Apollos''s to water; but what could it avail to plant or to water, unless GOD gave the increase?
60915Need I, therefore, now call upon you to put in your claim to this vast inheritance?
60915Now, what is Faith?
60915Now, who can deny, that sickness, pain, sorrow and affliction, have in their very nature this tendency?
60915O why, my brethren, why will ye"spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour for that which satisfieth not?"
60915Shall we suffer the Child of GOD, the Redeemed of the HOLY ONE OF ISRAEL, to be taken captive by the armies of aliens?
60915Shall we then tamely suffer these Rights of Heaven to be invaded by the powers of darkness?
60915THEN SAID JESUS UNTO THE TWELVE, WILL YE ALSO GO AWAY?
60915THEN SAID JESUS UNTO THE TWELVE, WILL YE ALSO GO AWAY?
60915TO WHOM SHALL WE GO?
60915TO WHOM SHALL WE GO?
60915The awakened sinner"looks up and lifts up his head, for his redemption draweth nigh"--looks up to Heaven-- For what?
60915The plain and obvious meaning of which is undoubtedly this: Hath GOD favoured me with such an astonishing deliverance?
60915Then Simon Peter answered, LORD, to whom shall we go?
60915Then said JESUS unto the Twelve, Will ye also go away?
60915Thus, for instance, the covetous man grasps, and saves, and fills his coffers-- for what?
60915Was each of us to be asked, in a serious and solemn manner, Are you really happy?
60915Was it not by those very sufferings, which seem so diametrically opposite to this triumphant state?
60915Well, but say some, How can this be?
60915What a senseless doctrine this, that would shut us out from all the joys, which earth holds forth for our acceptance?"
60915What have we to do with evil spirits, or possessions, at this day?
60915What was it, but an humble acknowledgment of his own spiritually helpless and indigent condition?
60915What, but that fascinating charm, which these very spirits throw before our eyes to deceive us?
60915When"all things are yours,"why will you take up with the scanty provisions which a poor perishing nature can give?
60915Whence is it then, O sinner, that, though thy SAVIOUR hath been so long time"with thee, yet hast thou not known him?"
60915Whence is it, though he has made thee such frequent offers of his Love, thou hast still slighted or rejected them?
60915Who amongst us, let me ask, hath not, in innumerable instances, given such a rash and impatient answer to the Servant of GOD within us?
60915Who then is Paul, and who is Apollos, but ministers, by whom ye believed, even as the LORD gave to every man?
60915Who told thee, that GOD created thee for this world; and that thou art to take up thy rest in that visionary happiness, which thou findest here?
60915Who would not wish, then, to become a votary, a pupil, a child of Wisdom?
60915Why shouldst thou despond in the hour of trial?
60915Why then, O Christian, shouldst thou despair of success?
60915Will ye be intimidated by their flight?
60915Will ye suffer your fidelity and perseverance to be shaken by their evil example?
60915Would you know what these fruits are?
60915and must the stable at Bethlehem be the first scene of that awful drama, which was afterwards closed on the trembling top of Calvary?
60915art thou so strangely blind to thy best interests, so amazingly neglectful of thy real happiness?
60915to whom shall I go?"
60915to whom shall we go?
60915to whom shall we go?
60915we are ready to exclaim-- is it thus, that the promises of the Angel are to be accomplished?
60915what conduct must we observe, that will entitle us to be members of her illustrious household?
60915what kind of sensibility was awakened in you at that happy season?--Was it not a sensibility of Love intense, and Meekness unutterable?
60915what path must we pursue, that will lead us to her delightful mansion?
60915where are the tokens of thy illustrious birth?
60915who told thee, that GOD had given thee such corrupt passions, as now solicit for indulgence?
60915why, with deluded Esau,"will you sell your birth- right for a mess of pottage,"an heavenly for an earthly inheritance?
23096And you believe in God, do you?
23096But_ when_?
23096By whose authority?
23096If God be for us who can be against us?
23096Is Jesus divine?
23096Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death?
23096Then one of the twelve called Judas Iscariot, went unto the chief priests, and said unto them, What will ye give me, and I will deliver him unto you? 23096 What can I do for you, dear?"
23096What have they seen in thy house?
23096Why must I have this trial or pain or trouble?
23096( Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?
23096After all, it is not so much a question of the knowledge of the day, or the hour, or the month of one''s conversion as"Do we now know Christ?"
23096And so for those of us whose lives have been such a struggle we cry,"Is there no deliverance?"
23096And then the question came to him as from God,"What do you believe?"
23096And they said, What is that to us?
23096Are there not hundreds and thousands of other men waiting, as the chief justice waited, for some one to speak or write?
23096As has been indicated, the text proves that we may choose life if we will, but I have more especially in mind the question,"Why should we do it?"
23096At the day of Pentecost people were saying,"What do these things mean?"
23096But how about the sins of the past?
23096But on the other hand, what if we should simply be faithful?
23096But when his disciples saw it, they had indignation, saying, To what purpose is this waste?
23096But"Is there no deliverance that is complete?"
23096Could anything be more inspiring than to know that we have the approval of the Holy Ghost of the things we say or think?
23096Did n''t you notice a fresh little grave near the one with the stone?
23096Do I know when I was converted?
23096Do you reject hell, because it seems to you to be inconceivable?
23096Do you think for a moment that those who gaze at us would imagine that we had the least conviction that people away from Christ were lost?
23096Does your life parallel God''s law or cross it?
23096Finally they met, and the infidel with a sneer said,"So you believe the Bible, do you?"
23096For the angel had said,"The Lord is with thee, Gideon,"and Gideon had said,"If the Lord is with us, then how can these things be?"
23096For this day we hope and pray and cry aloud,"O Lord, how long, how long?"
23096For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him?
23096God seemed to say to him,"Have you ever taken that stand where you would say,''I am committed to the right even if it ends in death''?"
23096Has he not said,"Ye shall receive power"?
23096Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil?"
23096Have we failed to take both?
23096Have you ever seen a perfect rainbow-- that is, a rainbow in a perfect circle?
23096Have you ever stopped to think what is really associated with the full acceptance of the third Person of the Trinity?
23096He granted Saul of Tarsus a vision of himself as he approached Damascus until he cried,"Who art thou?"
23096He then lying on Jesus''breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?
23096How about your living?
23096How about your testimony?
23096How could we expect them to have the same experience in coming to Christ?
23096How may I be converted?
23096How may I know certainly?
23096How may we know that he is striving?
23096How may we know that the Bible is the word of God?
23096How may we secure such a possession?
23096How then ought we to live?
23096How wilt thou do in the swelling of Jordan?
23096I The natural question that comes to every student of the life of Judas must be,"Why was he chosen?"
23096I What is conversion?
23096I What is the striving of the Spirit?
23096I ask you the question, Do you believe in heaven as a place of rewards?
23096I doubt not the question has often come to us,"How can God be just and be the justifier of them that believe?"
23096I found myself becoming unscrupulous in my business life and now I am wrecked, certainly for time-- oh,"said he,"can it be for eternity?
23096I looked the other day into the face of a man who said to me,"Do you know me?"
23096II Have you really taken all that God meant you should have?
23096II How may I be converted?
23096II Why are we not having revelations to- day as we know they have been given at other times?
23096III Did you ever realize that you were standing in the way of the conversion of your friends?
23096III Do you know when you were converted?
23096III Oh, is there no hope?
23096III What would be the consequences of the Spirit ceasing his work?
23096IV How may we know that we have passed from death into life?
23096IV Why should he cease his striving?
23096If these things are true of us-- and they are, according to the Word of God-- then what prospect is there for us but that of eternal punishment?
23096If this is true then what is consecration?
23096In the twenty- first chapter of John the fifth and sixth verses we read,"Then Jesus saith unto them, Children, have ye any meat?
23096Is it not like this with our sins?
23096Is not this written in the book of Jasher?
23096Is such a deliverance as this from individual sins possible?
23096It is indeed a black picture, and with whitened faces and rapidly beating hearts we ask, Is there any hope?
23096It is not giving God something, for how could we give him that which is already his own?
23096It is true that we shall go on from light into darkness, from morning into the night, but is there no final deliverance?
23096It may be that some will say,"Why insist upon conversion when my life is a moral one?"
23096Just what is the burden of this prayer of Paul''s?
23096Man tells the depraved man to change his surroundings; but how about the heart that is unclean?
23096Man tells the sinner to do his best; but how about the will which has been weakened by sinful practices, and which seems unable to act?
23096Napoleon once was asked,"What is the greatest need of the French nation?"
23096Oh, if it be true that the_ way_ of the transgressor is hard, in the name of God what shall we say of the end?
23096Oh, may I say that it is a great sin to be untrue?
23096One man called my attention to it and said,"It is amusing, is n''t it?"
23096Second: Just what, therefore, is this work of sanctification?

23096The great temperance leader went to speak to him and said"Edward, why do n''t you pray?"
23096The old minister looked at him and said simply,"Well, is that anything to be proud of?"
23096The rest of the verse is a question,"God that justifieth?"
23096The thirty- fourth verse reads,"Who is he that condemneth?"
23096The words"unto them"are in italics, so not in the original, and we ask"added to what?"
23096Then said I, O my Lord, what are these?
23096Then the question for the moralist is this,"Have you ever offended in one point?"
23096Then why not now?

23096What if I had said,"I will decorate the well house that I may change the water?"
23096What if he had hidden behind some great rock and simply waited?
23096What if he had tarried behind some one of those great trees near the city along the way which he should walk, or, possibly on the Emmaus way?
23096What if instead of going out to the scene of his disgraceful death he had waited until after Jesus had risen?
23096What is it, therefore?
23096What should he do with it?

23096Why is not some one in our own land especially working out some of the great plans and purposes of God?
23096Why should God continue when we only spurn his offers of mercy?
23096Why take such a risk?"
23096Will you not come while he calls to- day?
23096With such a work as this, who shall lay anything to the charge of God''s elect?
23096Would God that justifieth do it, or Christ that died consent to it?
23096and he said,"Yes, sir; do you?"
23096and in thy name done many wonderful works?"
23096and in thy name have cast out Devils?
23096and where be all his miracles which our fathers told us of, saying, Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?
23096who shall deliver me from the body of this death?"
33014But how can you leave the children? 33014 But you are not going to a court- martial; you are going to Christ; and when Christ asks you,''What have you done for me?''
33014Did they ever crown you with thorns?
33014Did they ever smite you?

33014I noticed this and said:"You are not afraid of death, are you?"
33014I said:"What are you doing for Christ?"
33014If Christ could not do this, how can we expect to accomplish anything if the people of God are unbelieving?

33014Mother, can you believe for your boy?
33014My friend turned upon him and said:"Do you have any doubt about the final result of things?

33014Who is able to reach and help these drinking men like those who have themselves been slaves to the intoxicating cup?
33014Who were the mighty conquerors of that day?
33014Will you not go out this very day and seek to rescue these men?
33014Will you thus live and die, O man immortal?
33014You have the money put away in the bank, but where are the laborers who shall go into the field?
33014You think you are going to free three millions of slaves from the power of the Egyptians?"

34637What has Pythagoras to do with the price of cotton? 34637 What of that?"
34637***** But now how can we change this, and get the idea of freedom into men''s minds?
34637***** But then comes the other question, What is the best use to be made of the day; the use most conducive to the highest interests of mankind?
34637***** Do men of the next world look in upon this?
34637***** How can we make the Sunday yet more valuable?
34637***** Shall we know our friends again?
34637***** Shall we remember the deeds of the former life; this man that he picked rags out of the mud in the streets, and another that he ruled nations?
34637***** What is this future life?
34637And what does Massachusetts do?
34637And would not all this extend the bounds of slavery?
34637Are the present opinions respecting the origin, nature, and original design of that institution just and true?
34637Are they present with us, conscious of our deeds or thoughts?
34637Are you getting less in the qualities of a man?
34637But if he adopted his old plan, what should we say of him?
34637But is it likely that all the old tragedies will be enacted again?
34637But is it only soldiers that we need?
34637But the northern whigs have their leaders-- are they anti- slavery men?
34637But what is it in 1848?
34637But what is the South most noted for abroad?
34637But what shall the free soil party do next?
34637But what shall we say as the dust returns?
34637But when the American Revolution begun, who, in England, had ever heard of John Hancock, President of the Congress?
34637But where is the Adamitic man; the type and representative of his race, who makes actual its idea?
34637But where is the soul all this time, between our death- day and our day of rising?
34637But who shall speak it worthily?
34637But you will ask, Why does not a minister demand piety in its natural form?
34637But, continued the inquirer, is not this a good one-- To seek"The greatest good of the greatest number?"
34637Can life in heaven do it?
34637Can the Almighty deceive his children?
34637Can the national faults be corrected?
34637Can the practical saint and the practical hypocrite enter on the same course of being together?

34637Did they love him-- love him as much?
34637Did women petition?
34637Do I err in estimating the number at one hundred and fifty?
34637Do men tell you,"This is a degenerate age,"and"Religion is dying out?"
34637Do the voters always know what they are about when they choose them?
34637Do those men who control the politics of New England not like it?
34637Do you ask the sects to engage in the work of extirpating concrete wrong?
34637Do you get poor in your souls?
34637Do you not reach out your arms for heaven, for immortality, and feel you can not die?
34637Do you tell me that culprit''s mother loves her son more than God can love him?
34637Does a mortal mother desert her son, wicked, corrupt and loathsome though he be?
34637Does some one say,"Thou shalt,"or"Thou shalt not,"we ask,"Who are you?"
34637Does your religion become poor and low?
34637Even the worst man thinks God his Father; and is he not?
34637For her three million slaves; and the North?

34637Has any man an unalienable right to live a savage in the midst of civilization?
34637Her husband objects, saying,"Wherefore wilt thou go to him to- day?
34637How did mankind come by this opinion?
34637How long would intemperance continue, and pauperism, in Boston; how long slavery in this land?
34637How long would men complain of a dead body of divinity and a dead church, and a ministry that was dead?
34637How much more does the body hinder us from seeing?
34637How shall we bring them to the task?
34637I ask If you will?
34637I would ask the worst of mothers, Did you forsake your child because he went astray, and mocked your word?
34637If Light can thus deceive, wherefore not Life?"
34637If my soul is to claim the body again, which shall it be, the body I was born into, or that I died out of?

34637In 1830, when the French expelled the despotic king who encumbered their throne, what said Massachusetts, what said New England, in honor of the deed?
34637In 1838, when England set free eight hundred thousand men in a day, what did Massachusetts say about that?
34637In a word, who is it that in seventy years has made the nation great, rich, and famous for her ideas and their success all over the world?
34637In your youth was the Sunday a welcome day; a genial day; or only wearisome and sour?
34637Is God to be partial in granting the favors of another life?
34637Is it Christian in us by statute to interdict them from their recreation?
34637Is it always to be so?
34637Is it too much to hope all this?
34637Is that superiority of gift solely for the man''s own sake?
34637Is the age wanting in piety, which makes such efforts as these?
34637Is the man in arrears with virtue, having long practised wickedness and become insolvent?
34637Is the present mode of observing it the most profitable that can be devised?
34637Is this difference of any practical importance at the present moment?
34637It is no merit to die; shall we tell lies about him because he is dead?
34637Mr. President, is one of these anti- slavery?
34637Must it not be so in the next?
34637Must it not be so there, and we be with our real friends?
34637Must it not be so there?
34637No grain of dust gets lost from off this dusty globe; and shall God lose a man from off this sphere of souls?
34637Now and then, for dust gets into the brightest eyes; but did they ever choose such men continually?
34637Put one of the cold thin moons of Saturn into the centre of the solar system,--would the universe revolve about that little dot?
34637Said the king,"Do you tell me I lie?"
34637Samuel Adams, and John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson, and all the other men, what did the world know of them?
34637See how every steamer brings us good tidings of good things; and do you believe America can keep her slaves?
34637Shall I then have a handful of my former dust, and that alone?
34637Shall not the prayers of all Christian hearts go up with them on that day, a great deep prayer for their success?
34637Shall the American nation go on in this work, or pause, turn off, fall, and perish?
34637Shall we conclude these are never to obtain development and do their work?
34637Should a great man have known better?
34637So at the last, which body shall claim my soul, for the ten had her?
34637So the age asks of all institutions their right to be: What right has the government to existence?
34637So the real and practical question between them is this: Shall there be a high tariff or a low one?
34637Somebody once asked him, What are the recognized principles of politics?
34637The Sunday is ended and over; the man is tired-- but has he been profited and made better thereby?
34637The annexation of Texas, did they oppose that?
34637The land is full of ministers, respectable men, educated men-- are they opposed to slavery?
34637Was Bowditch one of the first mathematicians of his age?

34637What had become of the"sovereignty of the people,"the"unalienable right of resistance to oppression?"
34637What have the political leaders of Massachusetts, of New England, to say?
34637What if Burns had been ashamed of his plough, and Franklin had lost his recollection of the candle- moulds and the composing stick?
34637What is the idea of the abolitionists?
34637What monarchy will dare fight republican France?
34637What shall become of the minority, in that case?
34637What shall they do?
34637When death has dusted off this body from me, who will dream for me the new powers I shall possess?
34637When power fled off from the Church--"Wilt thou also go away?"
34637Whence did he gain such power to stand erect where others so often cringed and crouched low to the ground?

34637Who can not trust him to do right and best for all?

34637Why is it that all great movements, from the American Revolution down to anti- slavery, have begun here?
34637Why is it that education societies, missionary societies, Bible societies, and all the movements for the advance of mankind, begin here?
34637Why not have the"further information"laid before the Senate?
34637Why pretend to drag a weighty crutch about because it helped your father once, wandering alone and in the dark, sounding on his dim and perilous way?
34637Why was the Sunday chosen as the regular day for religious meeting?
34637Will it be most profitable to"give up the Sunday,"to use it as the Catholics do, as the Puritans did, or to adopt some other method?
34637Will you say the outward life never completely comes up to that?
34637Would it not be better to take one step more, adopt them before they offended, and allow no child to grow up in the barbarism of ignorance?
34637You will ask, What was the secret of his strength?
34637Your old men?
34637Your young men?
34637[ 3] Was the Sabbath observed as a day of rest before Moses?
34637or who could find, Whilst fly and leaf and insect stood revealed, That to such countless orbs thou mad''st us blind?

34637what can we know of it besides its existence?
33015Are all the children in?
33015Darling, do you know you will soon hear the music of heaven? 33015 How did it work?"
33015How long has this been, then?
33015How was the first sand made?
33015Is it night?
33015John,they asked,"who are you?"
33015Know ye not that the friendship of the world is enmity with God? 33015 Reckon ye yourselves dead"; but if you were dead, you would n''t need to reckon yourselves dead, would you?
33015Well, but,say some,"is there not a sowing time as well as harvest?"
33015Well, did you tell your friends about having found the Savior?
33015Well, how was the first rock made?
33015Well,I asked,"have I got any peculiar kind?
33015Well,I said,"I have seen you in the audience every afternoon for several weeks and have you heard me say anything against theaters?"
33015Well,I said,"did you ever hear me say anything about theaters?
33015Well,I said,"what made you bring them up?"
33015Well,asked the chaplain,"how did that work?"
33015What made you think that?
33015Who shall be the greater?
33015Why do n''t you go?
33015Why, William?
33015Why,I suppose she said,"what has come over that man?
33015Why,she said,"Do you ever go?"
33015You say I can not live, father? 33015 A Scotchman said to him,Ay, man, why do n''t you come chain and all?"
33015After he had been a Christian some months, he was asked;"What have you found to be your greatest enemy since you began to be a Christian?"
33015Am I to let the whole world know that I am on His side?"
33015And John?
33015And the little fellow smiled and said:"Well, father, I shall be with Jesus tonight, sha n''t I?"
33015And why?
33015Are You Jealous, Envious?
33015Are Your Children Safe?
33015Are all your children in?
33015Are all your grandchildren in?
33015Are we seeking to obtain some position of dignity?
33015Are we wanting to hold on to some title, and are we offended because we are not treated with the courtesy that we think is due us?
33015Are you cross and peevish, and do you make things unpleasant at home?
33015Are you getting the victory?
33015Are you growing more even in your disposition?
33015Are you more amiable?
33015Are you more patient than you were five years ago?
33015Are you not weary of the turmoil of life?
33015But she said again,"Mr. Moody, can I go to the theater if I become a Christian?"
33015Can you say it is?
33015Come, sister, wo n''t you tell your brother?
33015Come, wife, wo n''t you tell your husband?
33015Dear friend, are they all in?
33015Dear friend, are you not tired and weary of sin?
33015Did you ever have a little war of your own with your neighbors, in your own family?
33015Did you ever notice that?
33015Did you ever notice the reason Christ gave for learning of Him?
33015Did you ever think that the trouble lies with you instead of the servants?
33015Do n''t you think there is a strange look in his eye?"

33015Do you think that a man who has such eloquence would be looking for a church?
33015For weeks after the chaplain did not see the young man again, but one day he met him, and asked--"By the way, did you take my advice?"
33015Have I done all I can to get my children in?
33015Have n''t you heard of my fame as a preacher?
33015Have we been decreasing of late?
33015Have you ever seen anything in the sermons against the theaters?"
33015Have you not noticed their troubled faces on our streets?
33015He be converted?
33015He died an exile from his country and his throne, and where is his name today?
33015He died to redeem us, and shall we be ashamed or afraid to confess Him?
33015He go to these meetings?
33015He used this text, but the devil put this thought into his mind:"How do you know Christ ever said that after all?
33015He was a righteous man, and if he did that, what must the others have done?
33015His mate came in, and seeing him at his Bible, said,"John, are you interested in these things?"
33015How are we to overcome in time of persecution?
33015How can the world be overcome?
33015How can we overcome this enemy?
33015How do we gain this mighty power?
33015How long would he be governor?
33015I am afraid that if we had been in John''s place, many of us would have said:"What did Christ say,--I am a burning and shining light?"
33015I asked him,"How do you account for creation, for all these rocks?"
33015I asked him:"Do you believe Christ said that?"
33015I have been asked by a great many good men,"Why is it we do n''t have any results?
33015I have had people say to me,"Mr. Moody, how can I get control of my temper?"
33015I said to her after it was all over:"It turned out quite differently from what you expected, did n''t it?"
33015I said,"How do you account for the formation of the world?"
33015If he had lived such a false life that his children had no faith in his word, what would have been his feelings?
33015If men wo n''t fight here for all this reward, what will they fight for?
33015Is Henry Martyn, or Wilberforce, or John Bunyan dead?
33015Is James in?
33015Is John Knox dead?
33015Is John in?
33015Is Wesley or Whitefield dead?
33015Is he living a double and dishonest life?
33015Is it not wonderful?
33015Is it well with your children?
33015Is n''t it grand?
33015Is n''t it time for us to get our friends into the Kingdom of God?
33015Is n''t it worth a struggle?
33015Is n''t it worth fighting for?
33015Is there a prayerless father reading this?
33015It does n''t take you very long to turn around, does it?
33015Its title was:"Are all the children in?"
33015Just then a poor old colored woman rose in the audience, and said.--"Frederick, is God dead?"
33015Let me quote a few words by Dr. Chalmers:"Thousands of men breathe, move and live, pass off the stage of life, and are heard no more-- Why?
33015Men say,"What has he stopped work for?"
33015My dear friends, are we not living in solemn days?
33015My dear friends, is n''t it humiliating?
33015My dear friends, is n''t that a high calling?
33015Now will you come to Christ?
33015Now, are you ready to do it?
33015Now, how are we to get the victory over all our enemies?
33015Now, if this text was not true, do n''t you think it would have been found out by this time?
33015One day the two sisters were together, and the other said:"Now what have you got at those meetings that you did n''t have in the first place?"
33015One of these officers said at the table:"I believe that Carey was a shoemaker, was n''t he, before he took up the profession of a missionary?"
33015Or is he immersed in business and pleasure?
33015Shall I tell you what the"yoke"referred to in the text is?
33015She said,"Can you help me?
33015Some of his neighbors say,"Noah, what is your hurry?
33015Some of his relatives might have said,"What are you going to do with the old homestead?"
33015Surely that is broad enough-- is it not?
33015Taking the note from his pocket he gave it to the lady, and said:"Will you read that note aloud?"
33015That discussion has wrecked party after party, one society after another--"Who shall be the greatest?"
33015The cry of the world to day is,"Where can rest be found?"
33015The heavens will be on fire, and then what will property, honor, and position in society be worth?
33015The little fellow looked up and said:"No; is this death that I feel stealing over me?
33015The neighbors cry out,"What does this mean?"
33015The question is, are you overcoming the world, or is the world overcoming you?
33015There is nothing to be proud of-- is there?
33015They will say:"You ca n''t get away from your mother, eh?
33015Well, but we had no part in crucifying Christ; therefore, what is our sin?
33015What Does it Mean to Come?
33015What are our enemies without?
33015What can I do to overcome it?"
33015What do we see to- day?
33015What does James say?
33015What is the matter with my Christianity?"
33015What is the secret of Sunday driving, of the saloons and brothels?
33015What is the use of being five years about what you can do in five minutes?
33015What is the use of his talking about salvation for the next life, if he has no salvation for this?
33015What is your hurry?
33015What then will become of your soul?
33015What was the matter?
33015What would you think of a farmer who went on sowing all the year round, and never thought of reaping?
33015When He came into the house at Capernaum, He turned to His disciples, and said:"What was all that discussion about?"
33015When a man will drive like Jehu all the week and like a snail on Sunday, is n''t there something wrong with him?
33015When he was dying he called his father to his bedside and said:"Was n''t it a good thing that my sisters went to those meetings?
33015When the young man heard it, he said:"Do you mean to tell me that he has been converted?"
33015When you talk with them they say:"Well, when you say''the world,''what do you mean?"
33015Where Can Rest be Found?
33015Where is he to- day?
33015Where is your son, your daughter?
33015Who can soften your hard heart but Himself?"
33015Who can tell the name of any of the millionaires of Daniel''s day?

33015Who is able to reach and help drinking men like those who have themselves been slaves to the intoxicating cup?
33015Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"
33015Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?"
33015Who were the mighty conquerors of that day?
33015Who would have such a man around him as John Bunyan in his time?
33015Whoever heard of a man going out to fish, and setting his net, and then letting it stop there, and never pulling it in?
33015Why are theaters and places of amusement crowded at night?
33015Why?
33015Why?
33015Will I die to- day?"
33015Will you not go out this very day and seek to rescue these men?
33015Will you not lay hold of the promise, and trust it, and follow Him now?
33015Will you thus live and die, O man immortal?
33015Wo n''t it be sweet, darling?"
33015Wo n''t you meet me in heaven, father?"
33015Wo n''t you take up your cross now?
33015Wonderful, is n''t it?
33015Would n''t you?
33015are you getting mastery over the world and the flesh?
33015do you believe it?
33015do you believe it?"
33015what is the meaning of this?"
33015where is your boy, mother?
17122Can a woman forget her sucking child?
17122Except a man be born of_ water_, and of the spirit,& c. What is here meant by"_ water_"?
17122Know ye not that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ, were baptized into_ his death_? 17122 --that you was born of faith, and by faith was in the kingdom of God? 17122 16 And now why tarriest thou? 17122 All the fear lies in the first, and thunders out to ever sinner,cursed is every one that continueth not in all things written in the law to do them?"
17122And except those days should be shortened there should no flesh be saved;"[ Saved from what?
17122And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
17122And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?"
17122And if we are_ scarcely saved_ from this impending destruction, by fleeing to the mountains of Judea, where will our thoughtless and sinful appear?
17122And if we the righteous are scarcely saved from this long- predicted destruction, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?
17122And if we the righteous who are innocent, have to endure so many"fiery trials,"what will the dreadful punishment be of our disobedient persecutors?
17122And now, my young friends, which will you choose?
17122And that he should again, as suddenly, drop this subject, and hasten right back to the coming of Christ at the destruction of Jerusalem?
17122And why?
17122Are her children exposed to danger, and full in her view?
17122Are they racked with pain?
17122Are they sick?
17122Are you not satisfied without arguing that they ought to suffer endless misery in addition to their woes?
17122But In what sense are they unbelievers?
17122But admit that it is; we would further inquire, did the last judgment begin as early as the days of Peter?
17122But asks the objector, are we not to_ realize_ our pardon in this world?
17122But asks the reader, what matter is it which is first in order, whether_ love, faith_ or_ works_?
17122But can not a man be justified_ here_?
17122But can not a man be_ sanctified_ while_ here_?
17122But can not a man pass from death to life while on earth?
17122But can their unbelief make God''s promise of none effect?
17122But can we not enjoy it here?
17122But can we not enjoy it_ here_?
17122But do you believe that he will exert his power so as to accomplish it?
17122But do you not perceive that by so doing you would give the king the lie?
17122But does not the objector see that he has stated no fact for them to believe in order to make Christ their Saviour?
17122But how can God give you what he has not himself?
17122But how can he be the Saviour of a man, he never saves?
17122But how did Peter know that it was at hand?
17122But how good is he?
17122But if we make a wrong application of any scripture, why do not our opposers point out the error?
17122But in what sense do they experience it?
17122But inquires the objector, does God punish for the good of his creatures?
17122But inquires the objector, how do you know that God has promised eternal life to all?
17122But inquires the reader, where do the scriptures teach that Christ was ever born again?
17122But inquires, the reader, why do you pray that God would pardon our sins?
17122But is the_"last judgment"_ to begin at them?
17122But shall their unbelief make God''s promise of eternal life of none effect?
17122But suppose they should all reject it saying we do not believe one word of it, would their_ unbelief_ make the promise or record false?
17122But the question arises, in what sense can the violation of that_ condition_ have any effect upon the length of life?
17122But the question presents itself-- were any of the human family raised immortal before that period?
17122But what consolation can you impart, if you are yourself ignorant of the doctrines of the gospel of Christ?
17122But what is all this compared with the character that thousands ascribe to the God, who rules above?
17122But what is that perfect work, which faith produces?
17122But what is the_ record_?
17122But what prize was this?
17122But where, I again ask, is revealed a_ third_ coming of our Saviour?
17122But will the sinner''s love make God his friend-- will it cause his Creator to love him?
17122But, asks the youth, shall I live longer for subduing my passions and doing good, for seeking peace and pursuing it?
17122But, inquires the reader, were those who died in the cause of Christ raised immortal at his coming?
17122By what then are we to be saved?
17122Can he look upon the beautiful objects of creation, or contemplate these countless wonders of the Almighty before he is born into being?
17122Can it put that truth out of existence and make it a falsehood?
17122Can this be true?
17122Can you call yourself the saviour of those two men from temporal death?
17122Could we now say-- if there be no resurrection, he is fallen asleep in Christ and perished?
17122Do not the Scriptures declare that God chose us_ in Christ_ before the foundation of the world?
17122Do they endeavor to effect this, by ceasing to mind high things, and by condescending to men of low estate?
17122Do we then make void the law through faith?
17122Do you ask why not?
17122Do you grant, that God has given eternal life in Christ to every man?
17122Do you intend to make him kind, tender, and forgiving_ here_, but unkind, unforgiving, and hard- hearted to a part of his offspring_ hereafter_?
17122Do you say because he disbelieves the truth of God''s promise?
17122Do your kindness, tenderness, and forgiveness extend to all, and desire the happiness of the universe?
17122Does God command us to do more than he is willing to do himself?
17122First, I ask, what do you call a believer?
17122From what source, then, did you derive so much tenderness and love?
17122From whom did you receive all those compassionate feelings of heart?
17122God calls upon men to believe, what-- That Christ is their Saviour?
17122God is kind to the evil and to the unthankful, and ought we to be unkind to them?
17122Has God given the mother all these noble affections, and does he feel less to his helpless, sinful and erring children?
17122Have any of you thus far spent your days in striving to find perfect bliss in the various pursuits of life?
17122Have you aspired to one object, abandoned it, and taken up another?
17122Here let the question be asked-- Was this sheaf called the_ first- fruits_ because it was ripe before the whole harvest?
17122Here let the question be asked;--how do we establish the law by_ faith_?
17122Here then we see the beauty and propriety of our text:"What man is he that desireth life and loveth many days that he may see good?
17122How can you extricate yourself from this difficulty?
17122How do you know that-- who told you so?
17122How is that-- To hold a grudge one day, and if they ask our pardon, to forgive them the next?
17122How many did he love?
17122How many does God forgive?
17122How many is that?
17122How then can their eternal salvation be denominated_ scarce_?
17122How then could Paul tell his brethren,"by the word of the Lord,"that they were to be thus changed?
17122How would you preach to such persons?
17122How, we ask, are all those_ sincere_ opposing petitions to be answered?
17122How?
17122I ask what does God call upon them to believe?
17122I would then ask whether eternal life was not promised, and given in Christ to the_ believer_ before he believed it?
17122If God promised his creatures eternal life before the world began, will they not obtain it?
17122If so, can you say that you have found the happiness you anticipated, and so earnestly sought?
17122If so, how are we judged in the present day?
17122If the judgment day, which_ then_ commenced, has not yet ended, why may not the resurrection day be still progressing?
17122If the objector will not allow these facts unalterably to exist_ previous_ to believing, what then will he call upon us to believe?
17122If you insist that he has given it to you, has he not in such case, given you more than he originally possessed?
17122In view of news, what is the first thing necessary?
17122Is he detected?
17122Is he stretched upon a bed of pain?
17122Is not this the day of redemption when we are set free?
17122Is such a father absent-- far distant on land or ocean where duty calls?
17122Let God answer--"Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
17122Let us do good in our day and generation, and render ourselves blessings to mankind, by living soberly, righteously and peaceably in the world?
17122Must not man be born of a woman in order to see this world?
17122Must they believe that Christ is their Saviour, or that they have an eternal life in him?
17122Now if we disbelieve the record will that make it false?
17122Now will public conduct place them on an equality?
17122Now, where did you get it?
17122Our object is happiness; and amidst all the various pursuits of life, what is the reason so many fail of obtaining it?
17122Perhaps someone may feel disposed to ask-- whether faith is all that is necessary?
17122Reader, do you not love the Lord for his wonderful goodness to his children?
17122SERMON II"What man is he that desireth life and loveth many days that he may see good?
17122SERMON V"For what if some did not believe, shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
17122SERMON VI"For what if some did not believe, shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
17122SERMON VII"For what if some did not believe, shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?
17122Should they propose a public measure for the good of the town, would the one be listened to, with the same attention as the other?
17122Suppose, further, that some of us had rejected it; would this circumstance have prevented our being born?
17122The disciples immediately asked him saying,"tell us when shall these things be, and what shall be the sign of thy coming and of the end of the world?"
17122The gospel being good tidings, or news, are you satisfied that thing necessary?
17122The next thing, to be determined, was, what doctrine do you believe, and what church will you join?
17122The question here arises, how many does God command us to forgive?
17122The question now arises, when does this new birth take place?
17122The question now arises; do not some experience the new birth in this life?
17122The question returns, are our sins washed away in a stream of water?
17122The reader may, perhaps, here inquire whether the scriptures do not clearly describe the resurrection of all mankind to be at one instant of time?
17122Then, let the question be put to him-- from whence did you derive all those noble qualities of love, mercy and goodness?
17122This being granted, we would ask, whether they will not come in possession of it, if God''s promise stands?
17122This was his_ second_ coming; but where but where is there a_ scrap_ of scripture to prove his_ third_ coming at the end of time?
17122This would be believing a lie, because you say that God has not made them that promise?
17122To whom does this"_ all_"refer?
17122Very well; the judgment was to be at the coming of Christ to the destruction of the Jewish state, and does not this designate some particular period?
17122Was it not a_ reality_ that the three disciples saw Jesus transfigured, and though in that condition was it not still their_ identical_ Lord?
17122We ask-- till he believes what?
17122We here inquire of the objector-- do you then grant that he is the Saviour of all men-- the Saviour of the world as the scriptures declare?
17122We now ask the reader, whether it would not be folly to give to the word_ birth_ such an explanation?
17122We then ask, what truth do you wish him to believe, so that he may obtain this eternal life?
17122We then ask-- are our sins to be wished in a stream of water?
17122We will now introduce the question-- If God has not forgiven a man today, will he ever forgive him?
17122We would ask the objector, what will they not believe?
17122We would then inquire, what is it that constitutes him an_ unbeliever_?
17122Well do not_ redemption, remission, and forgiveness_ mean the same thing?
17122Well, could we be chosen_ in Christ_ without being pardoned?
17122Well, has God the power to do it?
17122Well, shall his unbelief make the king''s promise of none effect?
17122Well, what can be assigned as the reason, why this rich man stands so far above the other in the public opinion?
17122Well, what was he at that time?
17122What is the meaning of gospel?
17122What is the reason?
17122What propriety is there in saying,"_ when all things are subdued unto him_,"after he has resigned his kingdom?
17122Where are they?
17122Where is sudden destruction to come upon any in that day?
17122Where is thy sting?
17122Where is thy sting?
17122Where is thy sting?
17122Where is thy victory"?
17122Where is thy victory?
17122Where is thy victory?
17122Where then is revealed that_ third_ coming of our Lord, at the end of time, to raise the dead?
17122Where then?
17122Where then?
17122Who can tell the value of existence, or number its countless joys?
17122Why are they then baptized for the dead?"
17122Why do you call him an_ unbeliever_?
17122Why is it when misfortune falls upon the rich, that they, so often, resort to the intoxicating draught?
17122Will God change in some future day?
17122Will God?
17122Will they both be treated with the same politeness and attention by their neighbors?
17122Will they both move in the same social circle?
17122Would he possess so much influence in society?
17122Would not then the record prove true?
17122Would they run such an awful risk, unless, by a certain course of education, they had been made to believe that there was happiness in transgression?
17122Would you forgive all, and bring them home to glory?
17122Would you live long that you may see good days?
17122Would you now go and tell that man- sir, because you will not_ believe_, you shall never come forth from prison?
17122Would you save all men from sin and its attendant misery if you could?
17122[ Why?
17122[ Why?
17122xv:29"Else what shall they do, which are baptized for the dead, if the dead rise not at all?
14497Is it easy or is it hard, this religion of yours?
14497Must I believe this doctrine in order that I may be saved?
14497Oh, but,you say,"is not this slavery over again?
14497What is it that you can not believe in?
14497What shall I do about this?
14497Again I say, The child of God, and this which you have been, what is it?
14497An unseen presence?
14497And if He came to- morrow morning, would not this whole world lift itself up and answer Him?
14497And if you want me to, is there any possibility of my doing it?
14497And where is that?
14497And why should not you, my friends, why should not you?
14497And yet am I not their servant?
14497And yet their servant?
14497And yet, have you never seen a breathless man, a man in whom the breathing was almost stopped, a drowning man, an exhausted man?
14497Are you and I going to be such creatures of our senses that we shall not believe that there are powers that touch us that we can not see?
14497Are you living that life now?
14497But does he stop?
14497But does not it come to seem to us so strange, so absurd, if it was not so melancholy, that man should say such a thing as that?
14497But the years between?
14497But what, then, is the Christian religion?
14497But when did sin begin to be wise?
14497But where is the sceptical soul?
14497But who doubts that among us the spirit of slavery lived and thrived?
14497Can I, can you, have Christ in human history, Christ in the world, and live as if He were not here?
14497Can it be that so wise a devil was so foolish here?
14497Can it meet all these human problems, and relieve all these human miseries, and fulfil all these human hopes?
14497Can not we contribute something that it has not to- day?
14497Can not we make its life diviner?
14497Can we give it as we draw toward our last moment?
14497Can you do this which the world unmistakably needs to be done?
14497Do I doubt-- I, who see myself called upon to be the slave of these conditions which are around me-- to do this thing?
14497Do I want to believe anything that can not be proved to be true, anything that my intelligence shall not receive?
14497Do n''t you know it?
14497Do we worship God?
14497Do you not think how full of hope it is?
14497Do you wonder at the patriot, the hero, when he rushes into the battle to do the good deed which it is possible for him to do?
14497Does not the baser part of him cling to the old prison, to the ease and the provision for him, to the absence of anxiety and of energy?
14497Does that sound to you all unreasonable?
14497Has it not manifested itself in the experience of mankind?
14497Have you ever thought of how the world has stood in glory and honor before the sinless humanity of Jesus Christ?
14497How about the sins that you did when you were young men?
14497How about the time when they plunged into baseness and made their soul like a dog''s soul?
14497How did the sun rise on our city this morning?
14497How do you get within the power of any force, my friends?
14497How do you get within the power of any force?
14497How does all this affect that which we are continually conscious of, urging upon ourselves and upon one another?
14497How does it affect the whole question of a man''s sins?
14497How is it now?
14497How shall he do it?
14497How will you make that storm a true thing for yourself?
14497I go to a certain man and ask him,"Why do you not believe in Christianity?"
14497I know you say;"Is this all in the clouds?
14497If I asked a man where he was going and he told me he was not going to Washington, what could I know about where he was going?
14497If he can not, if he can not, what business have you to be doing them?
14497If he can, what business have you to be doing them so poorly, so carnally, so unspiritually, that men look on them and shake their heads with doubt?
14497Independent of them?
14497Is it a throne from which a ruler utters his decrees?
14497Is it not clear and simple, whether it be true or not?
14497Is it not glorious, this absolute simplicity of the Christian faith?
14497Is it not written in the historical record?
14497Is life a hard thing for him?
14497Is there anything I can do in the right way?"
14497Is there no lingering?
14497Is there the man alive who thinks that Abraham Lincoln was shot just for himself; that it was that one man for whom the plot was laid?
14497It is the old story over again, when John the Baptist, puzzled in his prison, said to Jesus,"Art thou He that should come?
14497It seems to me that the Christian Church is hearing that cry in its ears to- day:"Art thou He that should come?"
14497May I read to you a few words from the eighth chapter of St. John?
14497Must it not have been the act of one poor madman, born and nursed in his own reckless brain?"
14497Not until the soul says,"What will come if I do obey Jesus Christ?"
14497Now, a question that comes in the Christian''s mind is"Why do n''t people believe this?"
14497Read an old story that my life in these new days shall be regenerated and saved?
14497Shall I believe that God has nothing to do with him until he acknowledges God?
14497Shall I care about how they criticise the outside of my life?
14497Shall I care about their little whims and oddities?
14497Shall I peer into their faces as I meet them in the street, to see whether they approve of me or not?
14497Shall I say it?
14497Shall I throw away my truthfulness simply for the sake of holding what I want, what I choose to call the truth?
14497Shall I trust myself to the ship merely because I have refused to examine its timbers, when men tell me that it is unsound?
14497Shall a man cultivate himself?
14497Shall a man serve the world, strive to increase the kingdom of God in the world?
14497Shall he simply think of himself as one who has crushed this passion, shut down this part of his life?
14497Shall he simply think of himself as one who has taken a course of self- denial?
14497Shall not man bring his nature out into the fullest illumination, and surprise himself by the things that he might do?
14497Shall not they open themselves somehow to us to- day, my friends?
14497Shall there be no Christ for the strong men who have before them the duties of their life, and who want the strength with which to do them?
14497Shall there be no Christ for the young men, the young men standing in danger, but also standing in such magnificent and splendid chances?
14497Shall there be no Christ for those who for the moment seem to need no comfort?
14497Therefore, not"Must we believe?"
14497They answered Him, We be Abraham''s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest Thou, Ye shall be made free?
14497They answered Him, We be Abraham''s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest Thou, Ye shall be made free?
14497They answered him, We be Abraham''s seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free?
14497They answered him, We be Abraham''s seed, and were never in bondage to any man; how sayest Thou, ye shall be made free?
14497They are asking everywhere this question:"Is it possible for a man to be engaged in the activities of our modern life and yet to be a Christian?
14497To have outgrown the boy''s faith, and not to have come to the man''s faith?
14497Was ever man so independent in Jerusalem as Jesus was?
14497Was it he for whom the murderer lurked with a mere private hate?
14497What are they?
14497What can keep you from committing that sin?
14497What do you think of your young men of fifteen, twenty, twenty- five, and thirty years old?
14497What evidence is there of it?"
14497What has become of my personality, of my independence, if I am to live thus?"
14497What has become of that boy to- day?
14497What has happened to that man?
14497What is a liberal faith, my friends?
14497What is easier than for a man to breathe?
14497What is my impression in regard to him?
14497What is the Christian?
14497What is the glory of that world?
14497What is the meaning of this sort of talk that we hear about a faith that they held once, but they have outgrown?
14497What new life has come into him?"
14497What ruler ever won it like this dead President of ours?
14497What shall I say to my friend who is an atheist?
14497What shall be our universal law of life?
14497What shall he do who is to my humanity what the perfect is to the absolutely and dreadfully imperfect?
14497What shall the divine man do?
14497What shall we think about those sins?
14497What then?
14497What time is there for me to be a Christian?
14497What time is there, what room is there for Christianity in such a life as mine?"
14497What, read a book to save my soul?
14497When did the fool stop saying in his heart,"There is no God,"and acting godlessly in the absurdity of his impiety?
14497When did wickedness learn wisdom?
14497When he says,"God,"shall I not believe Him?
14497When my friend turns over some new leaf, as we say, and begins to live a new life, what shall we think of him?
14497Where is the ruined woman whom you sent forth into the world out of the shadow of your sin years ago?
14497Who dares to dream that human life has lived its completest and shown the noblest power of receiving God into itself?
14497Who dares to think that these few thousand years have exhausted this majestic and mysterious being that we call man?
14497Why do I believe in God?
14497Why should I believe it?
14497Why should they not?
14497Will you call it free?
14497Will you know it?
14497Will you let Christ teach it to you?
14497Will you let Christ tell you what is the perfect man?
14497Will you let Him set His simplicity and graciousness close to your life, and will you feel their power?
14497Will you not give yourself to that of Him which you know to- day?
14497Wonderful?
14497You say,"How can a man believe that?
14497You say,"Must I?"
14497You say,"What can I do?"
14497but"May I believe?"
14497or look we for another?"
14497what are you?
30657''I fast twice a week;''''I give tithes of all I possess;''I am a wonderfully good man, am I not, Lord?
30657Are you lost?
30657Did you not honor the draft?
30657Do you not know,replied the Emperor,"that he honors me and my kingdom by making a large draft?"
30657Do you not remember when Mr. Rainsford called to see you, you were very rude to him? 30657 Dost thou remember me,"said the Quaker,"how I had thee fined for swearing?"
30657For this cause it is of faith, that it may be according to grace?
30657Has not God answered your prayer?
30657How many do you want?
30657Indeed,I said,"how is that?"
30657My child,he said,"what are you crying about?"
30657Tell me,said he,"what did that man say to you?"
30657Well, but what do you suppose I would think?
30657Well, did it do thee any good?
30657Well,he says,"if you will give me$ 500, I will be careful about it; but how can I be careful in spending what I have not got?"
30657What do you do when the devil tempts you?
30657Whence to me this tranquil spirit-- Me all sinful as I am? 30657 Where are you, then, if you are neither saved nor lost?"
30657Who is among you that feareth the Lord, that obeyeth the voice of His servant, that walketh in darkness, and hath no light? 30657 Why do you say that?"
30657Why, I always thought that if I kept on trying, God would save me at some time; and now you tell me to stop trying: what, then, am I to do?
30657You can not do that: for my treasure is laid up on high, where you can not get at it?
30657And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth?
30657And what have we that we can offer to God in return for His free gift of salvation?
30657Are there any thirsty ones here?
30657Are you hungering to get rid of your sinful selves?
30657But you will ask, What is the law given for?
30657Can Christ save him all at once?
30657Can there be hope for me?"
30657Can you conceive of the loving Saviour sending away a poor troubled one who comes to Him?
30657Certainly the attempt to work our way up to heaven is"climbing up some other way,"is it not?
30657Dear friend, do you not need rest?
30657Dear friends, let me put this question to you: Are you full of grace?
30657Did He tell them to go and feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, to visit the widow and the fatherless in their affliction?
30657Did the Lord ever say anything similar to what the hymn says?
30657Do we thirst for a deeper work of grace in our hearts?--for the anointing of the Spirit?
30657Do you say you are sinners?
30657Do you think Christ would have gone?
30657Do you think God is going to reason with a man whose hands are dripping with blood, and before he asks forgiveness and mercy?
30657Do you think the great God will do less than He commands us to do?
30657Does God intend to mock us, and make game of us?
30657For what?
30657God has given us Christ; and He has given us His Spirit, and His Word: what need is there to wait?
30657God invites you to come and take it: will you come?
30657Have they, ever done their very best?
30657He addressed them and said"Children, have ye any meat?"
30657Hear you now His loving voice?
30657How can we be emptied?
30657How can you work out what you do not possess?
30657How would the Queen feel, if I were to insult her in that way?
30657How would you deal with him?
30657I CAN imagine some one asking: What does that passage mean--"Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling?"
30657I am afraid if some of us had been in her place we would have answered somewhat in this fashion:"You call me a Gentile dog, do you?
30657I can imagine they said to each other,"What good is that going to do?
30657I could in that case turn round and say:"Great God, why did you expect me to believe a promise that was not true for me?"
30657I said to a man one day,"Does the well never run dry?"
30657I said to him:"My friend, does the devil never tempt you to doubt God, and to think He is a hard master?"
30657I said to the mother:"How is it with your skepticism now?"
30657I want to ask you this question: If sin needs forgiveness-- and all sin is against God-- how can you work out your own forgiveness?
30657If He could set a table for His people in the wilderness, and feed three millions of Israelites for forty years, can He not give us our daily bread?
30657If I am going to live perhaps for fifteen or twenty years, what do I want with dying grace?
30657If I stole$ 100 from a friend, I could not forgive myself, could I?
30657If I told you, Mr. Moody, that I had found a hymn- book last night you would believe me, would you not?
30657Is He a liar?
30657Is it not a time of need now?
30657Is it the fault of the minister?
30657Is it thus descends the merit Of the sin- atoning Lamb?
30657Is not this our own comment and reflection on life''s retrospect?
30657Is there grace for me?"
30657Is there room for me?"
30657It has been a hard battle, has it not?
30657It is offered to all: who will have it?
30657MR. MOODY-- What is it to be a child of God?
30657Many of you have tried hard to save yourselves; but what has been the end of it all?
30657May I be saved by Him?"
30657Mr. M.--A good place to start in would be the kitchen, would it not?
30657Mr. M.--All the sinner has to do is to repose in the promises of God?
30657Mr. M.--Are there not many who give an intellectual assent to all these things; and who yet have no power, and no divine life?
30657Mr. M.--Believe what?
30657Mr. M.--Can a drunkard or a blasphemer be saved all at once?
30657Mr. M.--Can all these friends here believe the promises?
30657Mr. M.--Can he get that to- day if he repents?
30657Mr. M.--Do we get any help by believing that?
30657Mr. M.--Do you not think there are a good many here who believe that Jesus Christ is the Saviour of the world; and yet they are not saved?
30657Mr. M.--Does not the Scripture say that the devils believe?
30657Mr. M.--For whom, then, did Christ die?
30657Mr. M.--Has a man the power to believe these things, if he will?
30657Mr. M.--Have these friends the power to believe?
30657Mr. M.--How are they to begin?
30657Mr. M.--How are we"cleansed by_ the Blood?_"Mr. R.--"The blood is the life."

30657Mr. M.--How do you get the Holy Ghost?
30657Mr. M.--How do you obtain that?
30657Mr. M.--How long does it take God to justify a sinner?
30657Mr. M.--How may a man know if he has eternal life?
30657Mr. M.--How much is there in Christ for us who believe?
30657Mr. M.--I understand, then, that if a man rejects Christ to- night, he passes judgment on himself as unworthy of eternal life?
30657Mr. M.--If a man is forgiven, will he go out and do the same thing to- morrow?
30657Mr. M.--If a man receives the word of God into his heart, what benefit is it to him, right here to- night?
30657Mr. M.--If any one here wants to please God to- night, how can he do it?
30657Mr. M.--If people say they are"going to try,"what would you say to them?
30657Mr. M.--If the friends here do not come and get this salvation, what will be the true reason?
30657Mr. M.--If they truly come, will they have the desire to do the things they used to do before?
30657Mr. M.--Is it available now?
30657Mr. M.--Is it not said that if we sin willfully after we have received the knowledge of the truth,"there remaineth_ no more_ sacrifice for sins?"
30657Mr. M.--Is salvation within the reach of every man here tonight?
30657Mr. M.--Is the Word of God addressed to all here?
30657Mr. M.--Is unbelief a sin?
30657Mr. M.--Should a man not break off from some of his sins before he comes to God?
30657Mr. M.--Should not a man repent a good deal before he comes to Christ?
30657Mr. M.--Some say they have no power to overcome a besetting sin?
30657Mr. M.--Suppose a man say he is not"elected?"
30657Mr. M.--Suppose the people do"come,"and that they fall into sin tomorrow?
30657Mr. M.--To whom are we to confess our sins?
30657Mr. M.--Was the blood shed for us all?
30657Mr. M.--What about those people who say their hearts are so hard, and they have no love to Christ?
30657Mr. M.--What do you consider to be the great sin of sins?
30657Mr. M.--What do you mean by the New Birth?
30657Mr. M.--What do you mean by the Word of God?
30657Mr. M.--What do you mean by"coming"to Christ?

30657Mr. M.--What is the salvation He comes to proclaim and to bestow?
30657Mr. M.--What is there between the sinner and Christ?
30657Mr. M.--What is your meetness for heaven?
30657Mr. M.--What is your title to heaven?
30657Mr. M.--What is"the gift of God?"
30657Mr. M.--What reason does the Scripture give tor the Gospel being hid to some?
30657Mr. M.--What would you advise your converts to do?
30657Mr. M.--What would you say to a man who says he has tried a good many times and failed; and who has become discouraged?
30657Mr. M.--What would you say to any one who thinks he has no power to believe?
30657Mr. M.--What, then, should they wait for?

30657Mr. M.--Would you make a distinction between Christ''s work for us and the Spirit''s work in us?
30657Mr. M.--You mean it is just as powerful to- day as it was eighteen hundred years ago when He shed it?
30657Mr. M.--You would advise them, then, to trust in the Lord, whether they have the right kind of feeling or not?
30657Mr. R.--A gentleman asked me that in the inquiry- room;"What do you mean by the shed Blood?"
30657Mr. R.--Do you remember the story of the woman of Canaan?
30657Mr. R.--How long?
30657Mr. R.--They believe the truth, do they not?
30657My brother, my sister-- are you hungry?
30657No; what do I want with martyr''s grace?
30657Paul said, when he had that famous interview with Christ on the way to Damascus,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?"
30657Paul says to the Galatians:"Is the law then against the promises of God?
30657Rainsford, how can one make room in their heart for Christ?
30657Rainsford.--First, do we really want Christ to be in our hearts?
30657Say"Lord, I come to thee as a poor sinner; wilt Thou not save me and help me?"
30657She held up her hands and exclaimed,"Was that you?
30657Suppose he swears or has a bad temper, should he not get a little control over his temper, or stop swearing, before he comes to Christ?
30657Suppose you wish to get the air out of this tumbler; how can you do it?
30657Tell me therefore, which of them will love him most?
30657That is plain language, is it not?
30657The cry of the world is,"Where can rest be found?"
30657The king said,"What are you going to do with such a fanatic as that?"
30657The last time I was in Chicago, I said to him,"Are you still lingering around Sinai?"
30657The law of works?
30657The little fellow said he would not,"Charlie, do you know what that word means?"
30657The question is: Will you let Christ come in and save you?
30657The rest of the class looked on in amazement; and one of them said:"Teacher, you do n''t mean that the watch is his?
30657The river of God''s grace flows on without ceasing; why should we not partake of it, and go on our way rejoicing?
30657Then they asked Him,"What shall we do that we may work the works of God?"
30657Therefore on the cross He cried out,"My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me?"
30657We have been fishing here all night, and have got nothing?
30657What did Jesus tell them to do?

30657What kind of feeling should they have?
30657What says Christ?
30657What will become of me, think you?"
30657What would you say of a man dying of thirst on the banks of a beautiful river, with the stream flowing past his feet?
30657What would you say to such?
30657When a man gets to that point, do you tell me that God can not use him to build up His kingdom?
30657Who will accept it now?
30657Who will come and take it?
30657Who will come?
30657Who will open their hearts, and let the Saviour come in?
30657Who would not feel highly honored if they were invited to some fine residence, to the wedding of one of the members of the President''s family?
30657Why do we not believe Him?
30657Why do we not believe him?
30657Why may I not expect the same when pain and anguish are upon me?"
30657Why not a Demas or a Judas?
30657Why should we go on asking and beseeching God to have mercy upon us, when He has already given His Son, and given His Holy Spirit?
30657Why should we go reeling and staggering under the burdens and cares of life when we have such prospects before us?
30657Why, this woman and her boys have been carrying vessels into the house all day; what can be the matter?
30657Will God reason with a man living in rebellion against Him?
30657Will you let Him?
30657Will you let him do it?
30657Would not the same thing move the heart of any parent here?
30657Would you advise any one who wants to become a Christian to start right here by confessing Christ with the mouth?
30657Would you insult the Almighty by offering Him the fruits of this frail body to atone for sin?
30657Would you not show him the document signed in the name of the President?
30657Would you not take him to your bosom and forgive him?
30657Yet the moment he said,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?"
30657You do n''t mean that he has n''t to give it back to you?"
30657You say you are not fit to come?
30657are you not longing to see your children won to Christ?
30657granting that there_ might_ be a chance for them if they had, was there ever a time when they could not have done a little better?
30657has Abraham Lincoln pardoned me?
30657what did he mean?
30657why shouldst thou wander From such a loving Friend?
30449Are you fond of flowers?
30449But do n''t you know you are a sinner?
30449But they will put me in prison,he said:"can not you give me any help?"
30449Do you not think,said my friend,"that you had better come to Christ first?
30449Do you think, then, I would tell you a falsehood?
30449Does he belong to the Episcopal Church?
30449Have you got the money?
30449Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock?
30449How did you get this gift?
30449How do you explain them?
30449How do you know that he put it in the right hand?
30449How is that?
30449How long have you been here?
30449How then shall ye escape, if ye neglect so great salvation?
30449I hearkened and heard; but they spake not aright: no man repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done? 30449 Is he a Methodist?"
30449Is he a Presbyterian?
30449Is your eye off the Saviour? 30449 Man, what do you mean?
30449The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?
30449The stork says to himself,''Ah, here is a fir tree:''he consults with his mate,''Will this do for the nest in which we may rear our young?'' 30449 The wild goat on the crag does not say,''Have I a right here?''
30449Then, to what persuasion does he belong?
30449Thus saith the Lord, What iniquity have your fathers found in Me, that they are gone from Me, and have walked after vanity, and are become vain? 30449 To whom shall I speak, and give warning, that they may hear?
30449Turn ye, turn ye; for why will ye die?
30449Well, do n''t you know that God wants to have mercy on you-- that there is forgiveness with God? 30449 Well,"I said,"what is it?"
30449Well,said the gentleman,"what has He done to you?"
30449What do you do with them?
30449What is the noise in the camp?
30449What is the trouble?
30449What remedy?
30449Why doth this Man thus speak blasphemies? 30449 Why, have you not heard about it?
30449Why, have you not heard the news? 30449 15, 16 we read:Can a woman forget her sucking child that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb?
3044932:"He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"
304495, we read:"Why then is this people of Jerusalem slidden by a perpetual backsliding?
3044960:"The high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest Thou nothing?
30449A man said to me some time ago,"Moody, how do you feel?"
30449After a few general remarks, he turned to me and said,''Brother Charles, will you close the meeting with prayer?''
30449Again in the 32d verse:"Can a maid forget her ornaments, or a bride her attire?
30449Again in the 33d verse:"Who shall lay anything to the charge of God''s elect?
30449Again the high priest asked Him, and said unto Him, Art Thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?
30449Am I arraigned by Satan at the Divine tribunal?
30449Am I in affliction?
30449Am I persecuted by the world?
30449And do you think the Judge of all the earth will forgive you and me, and open the question again?
30449And he said,"Who can?"
30449And if, the next day, he were again to bring up that old sin, and ask forgiveness, would not that grieve me to the heart?
30449And immediately when Jesus perceived in His Spirit that they reasoned within themselves, He said unto them, Why reason ye these things in your hearts?
30449And some one says:"Why, my good woman, have you not heard the good news that has come into the camp?"
30449And when Philip talked to the eunuch, as they went on their way, the eunuch said to Philip,"See, here is water: what doth hinder me to be baptized?"
30449And when the Jews came round Him and said,"How long dost Thou make us to doubt?
30449And yet what did Christ say to him?
30449Are you a professed Christian but one who is a slave to some besetting sin?
30449Are you a sinner?
30449Are you hungering after righteousness?
30449Assurance is the confident challenge,''Who shall lay anything to the charge of God''s elect?
30449Backslider, I would ask you,"What iniquity is there in God, that you have left Him and gone far from Him?"
30449But I can imagine some one saying,"What am I to do?
30449But how can any one read the life of Jesus Christ and make Him out a deceiver?
30449But the boy does not see anything; he says--"I do not see anything; what is it, mother?"
30449But what was Christ''s object?
30449But when I have asked,"Would you not be troubled if you lost one; and would you not set about seeking for it?"
30449Can a man at once repent?
30449Can we look upon that scene, and say God did not love us?
30449Can you be censured for doing well, and not murmur?
30449Can you be misjudged and misrepresented, and yet keep a Christ- like spirit?
30449Can you forgive an enemy?
30449Can you forgive an injury, or take an affront, as Christ did?
30449Can you tell me by what process that same grass was turned into hair, feathers, bristles and wool?
30449Columbus discovered America; but what did he know about its great lakes, rivers, forests, and the Mississippi Valley?
30449Could He be a mere man and talk in that way?
30449Did ever any heaven- sent man fail yet?
30449Did not David find it so?
30449Did not he find it an evil and a bitter thing?
30449Did you ever hear that?
30449Do I pray?
30449Do you believe it is a fact?"
30449Do you not call to mind your astonishment at the draught of fishes so that you exclaimed,''Depart from me; for I am a sinful man, O Lord?''
30449Do you not remember when your wife''s mother lay sick of a fever that I rebuked the disease and it left her?
30449Do you remember when in answer to your cry,''Lord, save me, or I perish,''I stretched out My hand and kept you from drowning in the water?
30449Do you think God can forgive a man when he does not want to be forgiven?
30449Do you think that the God who has justified me will condemn me?
30449Do you want to know how to go to Christ?
30449Do you want to know the way?
30449Do, you think that Abraham Lincoln, or any man that ever lived on earth, had as much compassion as Christ?
30449Faith is the eye of the soul; and who would ever think of taking out an eye to see if it were the right kind so long as the sight was perfect?
30449Farewell"?
30449Has God changed?
30449Has He failed in His mission?
30449Has not God the power to keep?
30449Have I been born of the Spirit?
30449Have I not seen it blow the trees in the forest, and the growing corn in the country?"
30449Have I passed from death unto life?"
30449Have we been delivered from sin?
30449Have you a sainted friend up yonder?
30449Have you done your mother a great injury and a great wrong?
30449Have you forgotten being with Me at the supper- table, and in Gethsemane?
30449Have your doubts come back?"
30449He asks:"What have I done that you should have forsaken Me?"
30449He inquired"How?"
30449He leant his elbows on the cot and clasping his hands together, said,"That''s good; wo n''t you read it again?"
30449He quibbles and questions,''May I?''
30449He said"Could I not take that money and go into business, and make enough to pay them back?"
30449He says in another place,"O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee?
30449He says to the young convert"You do not think I am going to believe anything like that?
30449He says,"What iniquity have your fathers found in Me, that they are gone far from Me?"
30449He stopped me and said,"Is that there?"
30449He went up to him, and said:"Tell me, is there not some estrangement between you and the Lord Jesus?"
30449His answer was,"Why, He has saved me; and that is a pretty good proof, is it not?"
30449How can I become a Christian without restoring it?"
30449How can these things be?"
30449How could He be merely a good man and use language as that?
30449How did you know it was good money?"
30449How long did it take to cure that boy?
30449How long did it take to cure those serpent- bitten Israelites?
30449How long does it take to accept a gift?
30449How much does God want you to feel it?
30449How should we get on in the ordinary intercourse of life, and how would commerce get on, if we disregarded men''s testimony?
30449I asked,"Why have you let her go?"
30449I asked:"What is your trouble?"
30449I can imagine one saying,"If God loves me, why does He not make me good?"
30449I can imagine some of you saying,"How shall I go to Him?"
30449I remember a man asking,"Who said that?
30449I said to myself: I have decided to be a Christian sometime; why not begin now?
30449I see the scowl on that Pharisee''s brow as he says,"How can these things be?"
30449I thought he had committed a murder, or some other awful crime; and I asked:"Is there any one sin that particularly troubles you?"
30449If Abraham Lincoln had compassion on that little girl, heard her petition and answered it, do you think the Lord Jesus will not hear your prayer?
30449If Christ bear my sins in His own body on the tree, am I to answer for them as well?
30449If He were mere man, how could He be with us?
30449If a man is not sure of his own salvation, how can he help any one else into the kingdom of God?
30449If gold could have redeemed us, could He not have created ten thousand worlds full of gold?
30449If some one has slandered you, or misjudged you, do you treat them as your master would have done?
30449If the physicians in Israel can not cure me, how do you think that an old brass serpent on a pole is going to cure me?"
30449If you could hear her speak, would not she say,"Come this way, my son,"--"Come this way, my daughter?"
30449Instead of Peter watching one short hour in Gethsemane, he fell asleep, and the Lord asked him,"What, could ye not watch with Me one hour?"
30449Is He not able to do what He came for?
30449Is any reader waiting for some strange feeling-- you do not know what?

20578Are you accepting your responsibility or have you turned your back upon it for no other reason than just this, that it is too much trouble?
20578Are you eager to be of service?
20578Are you going to seek him out and fall on your face before Him in prayer?"
20578Are you greater than our father Jacob who gave us the well and drank thereof himself and his sons and his cattle?
20578Are you hungry?
20578Are you making your contribution?
20578Are you running away from your duty this morning?
20578Are you sinking to- day?
20578Are you sinking?
20578Are you thirsty?
20578Are you tired and burdened?
20578Ask the question intelligently, heart,--"What must I do to be saved?"
20578Barnabas, the genius?
20578Barnabas, the gifted?
20578Business man, cumbered with many cares, living your life in the thick of the fight, are you keeping straight and clean or are you losing your vision?
20578But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?
20578But after all, was it a mistake?
20578But in admitting that God plans every life, can we believe that He plans for some to go wrong and for others to go right?
20578But what I ask is this: Have you responded to His friendship as David responded to that of Jonathan?
20578But what is God?
20578But what said the mother when the minister went to see her?
20578But what was the result?
20578But why is he a fool?
20578Can that be the cause?"
20578Can we believe that He plans for one to become a Judas and the other a St. John?
20578Can you do what he could not do?"
20578Could it be possible that God really loved Nineveh, though it was outside the covenant?
20578Did a strong hand strike you down from behind in the dark?
20578Did ever you hear words that were more stamped with moral idiocy?
20578Did his face light up as he said,"I am glad to hear it"?
20578Did it ever occur to you how many faces the Prodigal missed on his way back home?
20578Did you ever get frightened when a storm was on and promise God things, and then go back on it?

20578Did you notice what he did?
20578Did your fellow soldiers allow a strong company to break through their lines and to overpower you and take your prisoner from you?
20578Do n''t you know if I thought I would see Him I would go?
20578Do n''t you know that the law of gravitation is against you?
20578Do n''t you know that the storm is against you?
20578Do n''t you know that the whole experience of the race is against you?
20578Do you hear the wild outcry from that broken- hearted king named David?
20578Do you know a secret that he did not know?
20578Do you know of anybody like that?
20578Do you know of anything more important than helping to save your nation?
20578Do you know of anything more important than obeying the orders of your king?
20578Do you know what it is to feel that soul sickening sensation that comes to one who is sinking?
20578Do you know what it means to be losing your grip on God, losing your power in prayer, losing your grip of things spiritual?
20578Do you not get a glimpse of some bit of the infinite compassion that looks out from those eternal eyes?
20578Do you not hear the cadences of tenderness in the voice of our Lord?
20578Do you recall that exquisite bit of poetry in conduct on the field of Crimea?
20578Do you remember Esau''s pathetic story?

20578Do you remember that story in Jeremiah?
20578Do you remember what the Greeks said to Andrew that day at Jerusalem?
20578Do you remember"The Ancient Mariner"?
20578Does it shake you out of your lethargy into intensest interest?
20578Does the prospect of an answer quicken your heartbeat?
20578Drift?"
20578Even you have known a great poet who could write about a louse and a field mouse, but where do you find a poem about an onion?
20578Faith in God?
20578For these terrors he sought relief and so he asked this infinitely wise question:"What must I do to be saved?"
20578For whom does he now ask?
20578Has any life been transfigured and transformed by the story that you have told?
20578Has the sea gone dry?
20578Have you been honest with God in this matter?
20578Have you ever had a feeling that you were of no account and never would be; that in spite of all that God had done for you, you were a failure?
20578Have you forgotten the art?
20578Have you kept your vow?
20578Have you, will you be a friend to Him?
20578He answers,"Who is the God of Israel?
20578He asked him this question:"What doest thou here, Elijah?"
20578He hurried to his side thinking that he had been taken suddenly ill."What is the matter?"
20578He is evidently sincere, and yet what can He mean?
20578He is rich beyond his hopes, but is he satisfied?
20578His one question is this,"Is the young man Absalom safe?"
20578How came this famous Egyptian here?
20578How did God cure this man who was in the blues?
20578How did she come to make it?
20578How did she come to that conclusion?
20578How did this lovely heathen ever come to fall in love with Naomi''s people?
20578How do we know that he is an atheist?
20578How do we know that?
20578How do we know?
20578How had he made his money?
20578How is it that amidst the tremendous issues of moral life and moral death that you can be as complacent and as undisturbed as the dead?
20578How is it that you can sleep amidst all the agony, amidst all the danger that is about us?
20578How is it that your prisoner had escaped?"
20578How then, in spite of his doubts, did he find his way into the fulness of the Light?
20578How was God''s ownership acknowledged throughout all the Old Testament days?
20578How was he brought to the joy and usefulness that are born of certainty?
20578How was he saved?
20578How, then, do we explain this strange text,"For this cause have I raised thee up that I might show forth my power in thee"?
20578I suppose the princess sent down a little coin at the end of each week, but do you think that is all the pay that this mother got?
20578I will hear it forever more:''My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?''
20578I wish that God might speak through my voice to my heart and yours and say to us,"What meanest thou, O sleeper?
20578If people say we are handsome or cultured we are delighted, but who is complimented by being called good?
20578In other words, is Judas as much a part of the plan of God as John?
20578In what branches must a man show himself proficient in order to receive this degree?
20578In what does his foolishness consist?
20578Is n''t Paul a bit insane?
20578Is n''t that fine?
20578Is n''t the tragedy of the Church to- day just this, that the average Christian is not walking by faith, but by sight?
20578Is there any use for me to tell you that if you persist you will succeed?
20578Is there anybody that believes because of what you have said?
20578It does look a bit mad, does n''t it?
20578It is not, What is the expedient thing or what is the respectable thing or what is the popular thing to do in order to find salvation?
20578It is not: What must I do to be beautiful?
20578It is not: What must I do to be respectable?
20578It is not: What must I do to get rich?
20578It was their way, said the missionary, of asking the supreme question:"What must I do to be saved?"
20578It was this fact that wrung from Him that bitterest of all cries,"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
20578Little by little are you flinging away the fine ideals that were the strength of your earlier years?
20578Little by little are you giving up your faith?
20578Now, is n''t that a rather amazing thing for Christ to say about this fallen woman?
20578Now, this question: do you want to be saved?
20578Now, what are some of the lessons that we learn from the beautiful life of this ancient woman, Naomi?
20578Now, what did he do with the marred cup?
20578Now, what did this man think?
20578Now, what effect did this degradation and shame and suffering have on the king?
20578Now, what was the matter with Elijah?
20578Now, what was there in the seeming frown of God to make the eyes of love shine?
20578Now, what was this woman''s task?
20578Now, why did God call him good?
20578Now, why did the soldier smile?
20578Now, why send him an onion?
20578Now, why, I wonder, did n''t Jonathan feel about this matter as many of us would?
20578Or, in other words, what are the characteristics that go to make up a good man?
20578Pharaoh, why are you here?
20578Remember, it is not: What must I do to be decent?
20578Since when has it come to pass that the greater the light the less the responsibility?
20578So the question is,"What_ must_ I do to be saved?"
20578So why should I sit in the scorner''s seat, Or hurl the cynic''s ban?
20578That is my message to you:"The gift of God, who will take?"
20578The gift of God, who will take?"
20578The question comes to my own heart--"What must_ I_ do?"
20578The supreme question is:"What must I do to be saved?"
20578Then what did this honest and earnest doubter do?
20578Then what do we do?
20578Then what would be the result?
20578Then will you not do so not only because of your own needs but because of the needs of those about you?
20578Then, who was this missing man?
20578This is true, of course, but why is it true?
20578To whom did He commit this precious treasure, from whose life such infinite blessings should come to the world?
20578Upon what was Peter trusting?
20578Upon what were his fellow disciples trusting to keep them from the bottom of the sea?
20578Was it possible that Nineveh grieved God because of its wickedness?
20578Was it possible that Nineveh was a great city in spite of the fact that it was a heathen city?
20578What about that promise you made to God when you were sick?
20578What about the promise of consecration you made by the bedside of your dying mother?

20578What is wrong with them?
20578What orator waxes eloquent in its praise?
20578What says the gem of the Gospel?
20578What sort of an answer would you expect to a question like that?

20578What, I repeat, was the secret of his failure?
20578When God, who had great plans for Moses, sought for some one who was to make it possible for Him to realize His plans, whom did He choose?
20578When did He say He would heal if you merely slipped up in a mob and touched the fringe of His garment?"
20578When did you ever see anybody walk on the waves?
20578When is a man good in the sight of"Him who sees things clearly and sees them whole?"
20578When the situation is as it is, how is it that you are not on your knees?
20578Where did he get that rare jewel?
20578Which way are you going to travel from this hour?
20578Which way will you face?
20578Who is it?"

20578Why do you request, then, to do this absurd and ridiculous and impossible thing?"
20578Why do you want to do this foolish and insane and impossible thing?
20578Why is it there?
20578Why then did the Master label him with this ugly name?
20578Why then did this man fail?
20578Why then, I repeat, does Christ call this man a fool?
20578Why was Thomas missing?
20578Why was he not there?

20578Will you give Him a chance at you?

20578XI THE SUPREME QUESTION-- THE PHILIPPIAN JAILER_ Acts 16:30, 31_"What must I do to be saved?"
20578You do n''t mean that you would take a drink at the hand of an unclean thing like me, do you?"
20578You know what is the matter with a great many of us smug church members?
20578Young man, away from home for the first time, are you sinking?
20578Young woman, are you sinking?
20578but"The gift of God, who will take?
15031And did not he make one? 15031 And did not he make one?
15031Are there not with us sins against the Lord our God?
15031Cast ye the unprofitable servant into outer darkness? 15031 Do we then make void the law through faith?
15031He said to Jesus, Whence art thou? 15031 How shall I give thee up?
15031How shall he who is dead to sin, live any longer therein?
15031If God be with us, who can be against us?
15031If I do this thing willingly, I have a reward; but if against my will, a dispensation is committed unto me; what is my reward then?
15031Lord what wilt thou have me to do?
15031Lovest thou me more than these thy fellow disciples love me?
15031So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter,''Simon son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?'' 15031 Then saith Pilate unto him,''Speakest thou not unto me?
15031What iniquity have your fathers found in me?
15031What mean ye to weep and to break mine heart? 15031 Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God?
15031Whoso trusteth his own heart is a fool.--The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked, who can know it?
15031Why art thou cast down, O my soul? 15031 _ When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth_?"
15031* By another prophet we find God mourning over them--"How shall I give thee up, Ephraim?
15031* He might have mentioned what passed, when Christ asked the twelve, whether they"would also go away?"
15031* No sooner was he convinced of his mistake, than he returned with,"Lord what will thou have me to do?"
15031* Was he then unhappy?
15031+ But what warrant have we for these alterations?
15031--He weeps over obstinate sinners who refuse his grace?
1503110, 11.--"Then saith Pilate unto him,''Speakest thou not unto me?''"
1503115.--"And did he not make one?
150316,7,8.--"Wherewith shall I come before the Lord And bow myself before the high God?"
150318.--"When the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?"
15031And doth not the present state of the world confirm these expectations?
15031And for as long a term?
15031And how may others attain it?
15031And how natural and common are such exultations, with those devoid of religious fear?
15031And is not that of reason the same?
15031And is not their number great?
15031And is there no cause for his fear?
15031And is there reason to think that Christ would put him upon this work?
15031And of the same nature with those we have been contemplating?
15031And of what enormity are those incapable who have lost the fear of God?
15031And shall they think it strange?
15031And we believe and are sure, that thou art that Christ, the son of the living God?"
15031And what evils would many others have avoided, had they considered the counsel as given to them, and like this family, religiously regarded it?
15031And what is the fear which leads to destruction?
15031And what so prevalent with"him who heareth prayer?"
15031And what valuable ends can be answered by a revelation which is unintelligible?
15031And where is the human character without a shade?
15031And wherefore one?
15031And wherefore one?
15031And wherein consists the excellence of their character?
15031And wherein have I wearied thee?
15031And which of the saints hath not received benefit from it?
15031And who can fix their limits?
15031And why art thou disquieted within me?
15031And why is not all this right?
15031Are the terms of acceptance with God in Christ changed?
15031Are they not the same as formerly?
15031Are we by office appointed to ask mercy for others and bear them on our hearts before God?
15031Are we thus made to differ from the wicked world?
15031Are we unjustly censured by our fellow servants, or reproached while in the way of our duty?
15031But doth not God choose some to eternal life, and to this end bring them into his kingdom, and leave others to perish in their sins?
15031But he did not wrong his conscience to please them, or depart from truth to gain their approbation--"Do I seek to please men?
15031But how did they attain this knowledge?
15031But how is it received?
15031But how sudden the reverse?
15031But how?
15031But if David was a penitent before he was visited by Nathan, why had he concealed his repentance?
15031But if God''s glory requires it, will not this reconcile the good and gain their consent?
15031But if infidelity was to intervene the antichristian defection, and prevalence of religion in the latter days, is this hypothesis probable?
15031But is not God grieved at the obstinacy of sinners?
15031But is not this unreasonable and contrary to the Scriptures?
15031But is not"every imagination of the thoughts of sinners hearts,"said in scripture to"be only evil continually?"
15031But natural men are said to be"dead in sin"--and can the dead do aught which tends to their own resurrection?
15031But the sacred historian represents it as being Samuel, and why should we reject his testimony?
15031But was not fear of punishment used as a guard to innocence while man remained upright?
15031But what coming of Christ is here referred to?
15031But who will be made to possess these glorious things?
15031But why is Christ faulted?
15031But why marvelous?
15031But why not?
15031But why should the apostle wish evil to himself for their sakes?
15031But why the distinction of"sons of God, and daughters of men?"
15031But why the other restrictions included in the charge?
15031But_ God our Savior will have all men to saved_; and shall not that which he wills be effected?
15031But_ the perfect and upright man_, how happily different when death draws near?
15031Cain is appealed to, to judge of this matter for himself--"If thou dost well, shalt thou not be accepted?"
15031Can any thing contrary to his pleasure take place?
15031Can we form an idea of ought more shocking?
15031Canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?
15031Christ''s disciples, while in the body, often err; if acquainted with ourselves, we must often know this of ourselves; do we then see our faults?
15031Could an apostate spirit have done these things?
15031Did he think it sufficient to confess to God, and humble himself in secret?
15031Did not it derive from Rome?
15031Did these considerations prevent him from confessing his sins, and induce him to cover his transgressions?
15031Do not many neglect it?
15031Do we bless God for the former, and humble ourselves under the latter?
15031Do we envy those who may live during the Peaceful reign of the Redeemer?
15031Do we love God-- believe on his Son-- do his commandments, and trust his grace?
15031Do we see the hand of God in them; acknowledge the comforts to be undeserved, and the corrections less than our demerits?
15031Doth God frighten men with vain terrors?
15031Doth he threaten evils which can never come?
15031Doth it not increase from year to year, from age to age?
15031For the all important inquiry is, confessedly, how to obtain salvation?
15031Greater evidence than their word would have been demanded; as was afterwards of Christ--"What sign shewest thou, that we may believe thee?"
15031Have our pious ancestors left ought in charge to us?
15031He ranks them among those who deny him,"Why call ye me Lord, Lord, and done: the things which I say?
15031He saith to him again a second time,''Simon son of Jonas, lovest thou me?''
15031He saith unto him the third time,''Simon son of Jonas, lovest thou me?''
15031How are we to understand it?
15031How can such escape?
15031How shall I deliver thee, Israel?
15031How shall I deliver thee?"
15031How shall I make thee as Admah, and set thee as Zeboim?
15031How then could they be answerable for them?
15031How would he appear?
15031If God makes differences respecting every thing else, why not respecting religion?
15031If Israel turn their backs before their enemies?
15031If Paul needed something to keep him humble when favored with revelations, why not Abram?
15031If Peter fell, who, left to himself, can stand?
15031If any are disposed to inquire with Balak,_ Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bow myself before the high God_?
15031If once we turn aside from the literal sense of scripture, where shall we stop?
15031If they call the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more them of his household?"
15031If this is duly considered, Will not presumptuous sinners believe and tremble?
15031If thy people fail to drive out their enemies and possess the land which thou hast sworn to give them?"
15031If we attribute these divine communications to infernal agency, why not others?
15031If, say they, be could continue so long secure and unconcerned, why not longer?
15031If_ here_, they find no comfort and support, where will they find it?
15031In Paul''s conversion how wonderfully apparent are the wisdom and power of God?
15031In what manner could this be accomplished?
15031In what sense then are the saints perfect?

34688Why dost thou turn pale, as when the crowd clutched at thy life in London Street?
34688Why not vote for it?
34688Why not?
34688Why should we keep that odious law which makes us hated wherever justice is loved?
34688Why so?
34688Will it then be easier for your children to set limits to this crime against human nature, than now for you?
34688Will men of superior culture not all act by scholar- craft and by the Pen?
34688Will the Union hold out?
34688Will the color of a hair make right wrong, and wrong right?
34688Will the politician say there is no law of God for States?
34688Will you allow it-- though all the laws and constitutions of men give the commandment?
34688Will you deal with the question now, or leave it to your children, when the evil is ten times greater?
34688Will you say we are not likely to suffer from such usurpation?
34688Will you say, the postmaster, the collector, the clerks and marshals in Boston would not act in such matters?
34688Will you stand by and see your countrymen, your fellow- citizens of Boston, sent off to slavery by some commissioner?
34688Will you tell me that I am a coward?
34688Wilt thou welcome the Hungarian hero, and yet hold slaves, and hunt poor negroes through thy land?
34688With that conviction ought they to have delivered up these fugitives, or afforded them shelter?
34688Would Elizabeth murder the Puritans and Catholics?
34688Would James the Second butcher his subjects?
34688Would Nero murder the Christians, and make a spectacle of their sufferings?
34688Would bloody Mary burn the Protestants?
34688Would not that be a pretty spectacle?
34688Would the Spanish Inquisition torture and put to death the men for whom Christ died?
34688Would the high- priests crucify the Son of man?
34688You, laymen, must take our word for your guidance, and do just as we bid you, and violate the plainest commands of conscience?"
34688[ 12] Why dost thou, Tyrant, boast abroad thy wicked works to praise?
34688[ 32] Can you understand his feelings?
34688and his wicked brother?
34688and shall thy wealth be slaves?
34688and then, if so, Shall the prisoner for that deed suffer the punishment denounced by that law?
34688and who enchants, with most mysterious life, this wondrous commonwealth of dust I call myself?
34688and(_ b_) Is there a legal and constitutional statute denouncing the punishment of death on that crime?
34688betray the wanderer, and expose the outcast?
34688dishonored the seat even of the Pope?
34688for king, and such juries as corrupt sheriffs brought together?
34688forget thine own proud words prayed forth to God in thy great act of prayer?
34688how quiet the city?
34688in the country not a mouse stirring?
34688is there no law above the North Mountain; above the Blue Ridge; higher than the Alleghanies?
34688next, if so, Is there a legal and constitutional statute forbidding it, and decreeing punishment therefor?
34688of a great and famous sermon that rang through the nation from that quarter?
34688or those of his successor?
34688that the people of Massachusetts will ever return a single fugitive slave, under such an act as that?
34688what would become of the Parliament itself?
34688which be extended?
59991And what may he be called?
59991And when they were come to Capharnaum, they that received the didrachmas came to Peter, and said to him: Doth not your Master pay the didrachma? 59991 Are we not children of Abraham?"
59991Are you determined not to commit this sin again?
59991But rather who are you?
59991Do you not see,said he,"that these rich and powerful persons are in possession of a wonderful elixir?
59991Does he?
59991My people, what have I done unto thee, or in what have I grieved thee? 59991 Simon Peter, lovest thou Me more than these?"
59991Then these poor, misguided souls are only grasping at shadows of happiness, and losing the reality in the meanwhile?
59991Who are you that takes the place of Brother John?
59991Why, do n''t you know,said he,"I''m the mighty hard case?"
59991Again:"Know ye not that the unjust shall not possess the kingdom of God?
59991Alone with what?
59991Am I not right in saying that the dram- seller sins against justice?
59991Am I worthy of the name?
59991Am I, this moment, in a state of salvation or of damnation?
59991And I wish to know if a man must remain a thief because he has been brought up a thief, and never learned an honest trade?
59991And if you salute your brethren only, what do you more?
59991And is not the referring of any or all of the states of our being to Him an act of religion?
59991And tell me, how now?
59991And what are they?
59991And what can better represent repentance than the fine dust of which they are composed?
59991And what is signified by myrrh?
59991And what is this fountain?
59991And when he was come into the house, Jesus prevented him, saying: What is thy opinion, Simon?
59991And who are some of the other false prophets?
59991And who has done all this?
59991And why do men prize these beautiful scenes?
59991And why so?
59991And yet, what do we see?
59991And, before the priest pours the sanctifying water on the brow of the person, he says,"Dost thou renounce Satan and all his works and all his pomps?"
59991And, first, what is the pure gold which is acceptable to our God and Creator?
59991Answer me, dram- shop, where is the girl gone?
59991Are not innumerable graces and virtues waiting for us, ready to be given, if we will only take the trouble to ask for them?
59991Are the children of darkness always to be wiser than the children of light?
59991Are you a victim to human respect?
59991Are you all ready for the last preparations?
59991Are you at peace with God and men?
59991Are you hard- hearted, stubborn, and resentful, easy to take offence?
59991Are you ignorant of the truths of faith, or do they seem difficult to you and beyond your grasp?
59991Are you ignorant of the ways of God''s providence?
59991Are you in ignorance of what is best for you here and hereafter?
59991Are you moved with that deep emotion such a memory should awaken?
59991Are you poor?
59991Are you proud?
59991Are you timid and shamefaced in your service to God?
59991Are you, then, half- minded to go back to your old sins?
59991Art thou to us above all price?
59991Ask not with Pilate,"What is truth?
59991At any moment His eye may fall upon us, and we may hear the words,"Friend, why camest thou in hither with out having on a wedding garment?"
59991At certain seasons they cross the seas, endure fatigue, spend a great deal of time and money-- and what for?
59991At last the disciples and brethren who were present, getting tired of always hearing the same thing, said: Master, why do you always repeat this?
59991But did God absolve him?
59991But how long did you remember it to any profit to yourself or praise to God?
59991But how many objections are raised against this plain and heavenly doctrine?
59991But what are the motives for all this self- denial?
59991But what did St. John the Baptist say?
59991But what good will all this do if we have not the wedding garment on?
59991But why are the clergy especially fitted to exercise this office of prophet or teacher?
59991But why this desire?
59991Can I ask you to quit it?
59991Can we not live for it?
59991Could there be a more outrageous insult?
59991Did He who has said,"Son, give me thy heart,"ask for a corrupt and treacherous heart?
59991Did He who made the human heart make it ungrateful?
59991Did He who so loves us make those He loves selfish?
59991Did I not say well, my brethren, that the mystery of the Holy Trinity is an illumination of the mystery of creation?
59991Did he put his house in order?
59991Did the ruins of your land and the graves of your ancestors awaken in your bosoms no longer any feelings of attachment and veneration?
59991Did your native hills lose their charms for you?
59991Do not also the heathen the same?
59991Do not even the publicans the same?
59991Do the sins and offences of others destroy your peace of mind, and dry up within you the fountains of mercy and pity for sinners?
59991Do they consider their present state a true one in all respects-- true before their conscience, and without doubt before their intelligence?
59991Do they not appear occasionally in the tribunal of penance?
59991Do they not go to Mass?
59991Do they regard their religion as a sure religion?
59991Do they want to get back the lost love of God?
59991Do we follow Christ when we are covetous and hard hearted?
59991Do we follow Christ when we go to places of drunkenness and debauchery?
59991Do we follow Christ when we refuse to forgive our enemies?
59991Do we prize thee, O divine gift, as these have done?
59991Do you hope for heaven?
59991Do you know anything of a husband''s affection or of a father''s love?
59991Do you love your own immortal soul?
59991Do you love your religion?
59991Do you not hear a righteous God, your judge, demanding in tones of wrath,"Dram- shop, where are my children?
59991Do you not know that to suffer for any one is to give a better proof of love than to confer favors and benefits?
59991Do you not remember?
59991Do you remember all that?
59991Do you remember when Sunday morning comes, and the priest is ascending the altar, that you are a Catholic, and where a Catholic should be found then?
59991Do you see in him Jesus Christ?
59991Do you tremble no more when you hear of justice, of chastity, and of the judgment to come?
59991Do you wish you could feel more like God, kind and long- suffering, and less like Satan, watching for the falls of others, and exulting over them?
59991Does God not feel that heartless coldness and neglect of theirs?
59991Does He say to you as He said to that lost disciple,"Friend, dost thou betray the Son of Man with a kiss?"
59991Does he receive it in as good dispositions as would make it a worthy Communion if he were well, and had received it in the church at the altar?
59991Does he receive it worthily?
59991Does it seem to us, as it is, a great thing-- a precious gift?
59991Does the demon of intemperance, of anger, or of lust creep stealthily into your breast, and leave foul traces of his presence there?
59991For can anything be more dismal, more barren, more pointless, than a Christianity in which the Blessed Sacrament and the Blessed Virgin have no place?
59991For if you love those that love you, what reward shall you have?
59991For it were better for thee to enter lame and blind into life everlasting, than, having two hands or two eyes, to be cast into hell- fire"?
59991For what could we do so real and true as this?
59991For what happens?
59991Had he time to do it?
59991Had we not all in having Him?
59991Hark to that outburst of generous love from his undaunted heart--"Who, then, shall separate us from the love of Christ?
59991Has not God provided the Holy Sacrament of Penance, where, with little trouble, the soul can be washed and cleansed from all its defilements?
59991Have I any real, well- grounded hope of salvation?
59991Have I considered this matter, and looked it steadily in the face?
59991Have I the principle, the fixed, well- grounded principle, which ought to govern all the actions of a Christian?
59991Have they now that truth which shall stand the trial at the coming of Jesus Christ?
59991Have they the true faith?
59991Have they undertaken to deny themselves anything they had a strong desire for, in order not to commit mortal sin?
59991Have you a human heart yet left beating in your bosom?
59991Have you any manly pride left?
59991Have you no affection left for those parents, those brothers and sisters and kindred, left in the old home?
59991Have you not, after all, given up the devil and his works?
59991Have you really come back to make up with Him, or have you come-- O horrible thought!--only like Judas to betray Him?
59991Have you received the Easter Communion?
59991He is deeper than hell, and how wilt thou know?"
59991He is higher than heaven, and what wilt thou do?
59991Here it might become me to enumerate some of these gifts, but where would I begin, or where could I end?
59991How can God give Himself to the man who is absorbed in money- making and heaping up possessions?
59991How could we realize in a better way the simplest and at the same time the most sublime of all truths?
59991How do your neighbors speak of you?
59991How does the sight of it affect you?
59991How is that?
59991How shall I conduct myself and order my life, so as constantly to preserve and increase it?
59991I am not forcing upon your notice a subject out of place at this joyous season, am I?
59991If it is not yours also, is it proper to call you by His name, Christians?
59991Is he signed and consecrated to God, and are his senses purified, and his soul strengthened?
59991Is it enough to remember that?
59991Is it hard for you to think of God?
59991Is it in sorrow for their sins?
59991Is it not so?
59991Is it pride and love of fame, or selfishness?
59991Is she not our pride, our glory, our comfort?
59991Is that the reason, I wonder, why there are no new toys and presents now at Christmas or at Easter, as in the days gone by?
59991Is the majesty, the power, the holiness of that God to whom you belong forgotten?
59991Is there anything that we are, or have, or can be that is not of God?
59991Is your confession made for this year?
59991Is your life to- day such as you would like it to be, if to- morrow you are to die?
59991It is a fearful thought to be in that Presence, for it must compel us to ask ourselves-- Are we indeed the image and likeness of the Living God?
59991It is the development of the response to the question that every Catholic child can answer-- Why did God create you?
59991It is the question of the Psalmist,"Who is wise, and will keep these things in mind, and will understand the mercies of the Lord?"
59991It is to be saved from death; it is to be cured of their diseases; and what does it all amount to, but that they are trying to make a truce with God?
59991Let each one ask himself this question: Do I come up to the standard?
59991Let us ask ourselves whence does God receive the life of His Divine Being?
59991No word of thanks at your Communion-- not a grateful thought in your heart?
59991Now, we may ask what is the reason the Lord showed this marked preference and especial affection for St. John above the other Apostles?
59991Now, whence do these objections arise?
59991Of what value are your prayers it you lead such a life?
59991Of whom do the kings of the earth take tribute or custom?
59991Or, are you one who dares do great things for the God who has done so much for you?
59991Shall all we hold sacred be caricatured, calumniated, and we sit with folded arms in silence?
59991Shall tribulation, or distress, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or persecution, or the sword?
59991Shall we not turn their own weapons against them?
59991Should you not rather be called, according to His way of naming, heathens and publicans?
59991St. John tells us in his epistle:"How can we love God whom we have not seen, when we love not our neighbor whom we have seen?"
59991Tell me, can you lift your heart to Him to- day, and say in truth-- My God, Thou knowest that I have not forgotten Thee?
59991That it should simply distinguish us from those who do not possess it, and to lie idle and fruitless in our soul?
59991The Holy Sacrament of the altar, where the soul is nourished, and strengthened, and adorned by feeding on the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ?
59991The boy, his eldest boy, that was to be sent to college, was sent up last week to prison for shoplifting; and the girl-- where is she gone?
59991The question is not-- Am I growing in the field of the Church?
59991The servants asked their lord,"Shall we not go out and pull up the tares?"
59991Then comes the natural thought What shall I do to acquire this treasure?
59991Then shall the just answer: Lord, when did we see Thee hungry, and fed Thee; thirsty, and gave Thee drink?
59991Then why is it that we give way under our sufferings, our daily trials and crosses?
59991They come to pray to God for forgiveness of their sins; and what do they say?
59991They pray, it is true, but how?
59991This promise is recorded in the sixteenth chapter of St. Matthew''s Gospel:{ 202}"Jesus saith to them: But whom do you say that I am?
59991To what end has he blessed us with the gift of faith?
59991To whom does the Holy Ghost come in His fulness?
59991Was Jesus, the Lamb of God, slain for our sins, to be eaten, and with unleavened bread?
59991Was he in a fit state to do it?
59991Was it merely because we had done so in past years?
59991Was it when He went about doing good, working miracles, preaching His divine doctrine?
59991We are cunning enough in the ways of the world, but why so slow to understand the ways of God?
59991Well, and what is the business of the clergy?
59991What are the sins of the dram- seller?
59991What did He say?
59991What do I mean by this sacrifice?
59991What does this signify?
59991What explains this cold forgetfulness, this heartless indifference, that steals over us so soon?
59991What good to have had the sacraments in life, or even at the hour of death, if we have not on the wedding garment?
59991What good will it do us to have gone to the church and heard the sermons, if we have not on the wedding garment?
59991What is He as cause, and what is this divine life of His being which is the effect of that cause?
59991What is Truth?
59991What is his story?
59991What is it that stimulates them in their pursuits?
59991What is it?
59991What is one to do?
59991What is the consequence?
59991What is the reason of a central government, with a president at its head, in Washington?
59991What is the reason, my dear brethren, that you are all here to- night?
59991What is the secret of this apparent contradiction?
59991What is the story of such people in the confessional?
59991What is this wedding garment?
59991What of your present remembrance?
59991What other Comforter is there in heaven to give that will be better than He?
59991What other Comforter of our souls would we ask or could we need than Him?
59991What other light and grace could we desire both to detect and shun all evil, and to delight in what is pure and true?
59991What pays them for all their trouble?
59991What shall I say?
59991What shall the presence of the All- Holy be unable to do?
59991What sustains these men of science?
59991What was all that for?
59991What, dear brethren, is the end and object for which we live in this world?
59991What, then, shall we do to spend Lent well?
59991When I read the Gospel for to- day, which describes the raising of the widow''s son to life, I ask myself the question-- Did he die prepared?
59991When his soul had departed, could his widowed mother console herself with the thought-- He lived a good life, and he died a good death?
59991When the Father in His love sent Him to us, did he not send all He could give?
59991When was Jesus Christ the Master of the world?
59991When will He come around?
59991Where is the house and lot gone to?
59991Where was it that He drew all things to Himself by the cords of Adam and the bands of love?
59991Who are the false prophets we have the most need to be warned against at this present time?
59991Who are the people of God?
59991Who does not see here that pre- eminence of St. Peter over his colleagues which is expressed by the title, Prince of the Apostles?
59991Who is the author of His life?
59991Who is this Divine Comforter?
59991Why all these studies-- why so much time, energy, patience, and devotion to the sciences?
59991Why are our souls enlarged and raised above the senses in listening to strains of music composed by a Palestrina or a Beethoven or a Mozart?
59991Why did we do so?
59991Why do men love poetry, music, architecture, painting, and sculpture?
59991Why do people despair of ever being happy?
59991Why do so many grow faint- hearted, and think that there is no rest, no peace, for them?
59991Why do you love vanity, and seek after lying?"
59991Why does He not reveal Himself?
59991Why does he not go to work?
59991Why forever trying to lie to ourselves, and leave Him out of account?
59991Why has the faith been stolen from the nations?
59991Why have the verses of a Homer, a Dante, a Shakespeare, been the delight of ages?
59991Why is it to be esteemed above liberty, the possession of wealth, more than friends, parents, the whole world, and even more than life itself?
59991Why is she holy?
59991Why not?
59991Why should they interfere with private or family affairs?
59991Why should they meddle with questions of politics or government?
59991Why should they not?
59991Why should they say anything about a man''s business, or try to interfere with his personal liberty to do this or that?
59991Why should this be repeated all over the world?
59991Why this sacrifice of the body and blood of Jesus Christ?
59991Why was St. Peter willing to be bound and imprisoned for the faith of Christ?
59991Why, then, have you renounced all that men hold so dear?
59991Why?
59991With holy Job, he exclaims:"If we have received good things at the hand of God, why should we not receive evil?"
59991With how much devotion does he receive the Holy Viaticum and the Extreme Unction?
59991Would you like to hear the approval of your Divine Lord and Master on the Last Great Day of Account?
59991Yes; but do you not see that it is just in the Blessed Sacrament that He brings that proof home to us?
59991Yes; but what avails such a heartless remembrance as yours has been?
59991[ Footnote 19] Where is your Christian faith and trust in God?
59991[ Footnote 29] To whom, then?
59991[ Footnote 61] In Job it is asked,"Peradventure thou wilt comprehend the steps of God, and find out the Almighty perfectly?
59991and when did we see Thee a stranger, and took Thee in?
59991because it is a Catholic custom?
59991because others did so, and we were expected to do the same?
59991but-- Am I the wheat?
59991how is this?
59991how long will ye be dull of heart?
59991made no life- preparation of this solemn account, and it is too late now?
59991of their children or of strangers?
59991or naked, and covered Thee?
59991or the tares, fit only for the burning?
59991or when did we ever see Thee sick or in prison, and visit Thee?
59991that''s the way you manage it, is it?"
59991what is truth?"
59991who is proud of the gifts of God?
59991why have you stayed so long away?"
59991why is it?
59991{ 101} Who is there that can approach here without crying out with the Psalmist,"What shall I render to the Lord for all that He has rendered to me?
59991{ 110} But who among men belong thus entirely to God?
59991{ 115} Does your heart burn to offer Him a glorious and complete sacrifice, and yet you can not summon up the courage to accomplish it?
59991{ 167} And what are we but cold and unsympathizing, selfish and thankless, toward our best Friend?
59991{ 16} Would we like to enter upon a new year wholly ignorant of the past one?
59991{ 178} The mind of man can not long blind its sight to the illumination of the truth; but who shall subdue and win the hardened heart?
59991{ 184} What is it that gives to faith its priceless value?
59991{ 190} Most of you, my dear brethren, are from the old country, and have come to this strange land-- and why?
59991{ 277} Do you wish to escape such a lamentable end?
59991{ 289} Could anything be more wanton and impudent than such conduct?
59991{ 29} I am not asking too much, my brethren, am I?
59991{ 301} Why are you sick, you who have no grievous crimes to expiate-- you whose whole heart has belonged to God this many a day?
59991{ 316}"Scandals must needs come,"said our Saviour; but is it, therefore, necessary for us to think about them and brood over them?
59991{ 323} Now, what was the characteristic virtue of this great Apostle, which rendered him so like to Christ and so dear to Him?
59991{ 38} How can we love God if we be absorbed in a love of good eating and drinking?
59991{ 67} What kind of Christians are we?
59991{ 82} Where is the furniture gone to?
59991{ 87} Do you love your good name as a citizen?
59991{ 93} What was that a type of?
59991{ 96} Is it not the moment of supreme happiness, and of such happiness that nothing else is like it in the world?
33520''And believeth on Him that sent me--''"You believe God sent Jesus?
33520''He that heareth My Word--''"You believe that?
33520Are not you the man who has been begging here every night?
33520Are you a Christian?
33520Be''s I free, or be I not?
33520Ca n''t you turn her head round?
33520Can not Christ find him, and bring him back?
33520Did n''t I tell you I would catch you?
33520Did you really get it in that way?
33520Do you believe it is a fact?
33520Do you remember the young man who answered you so roughly the other night?
33520How did it happen?
33520How did you know it was good money?
33520How do you know it was the right kind of hand?
33520How is that?
33520How was it done?
33520I thought you said you would not believe anything you could not reason out?
33520If I say, I''ll trust Him, will He save me?
33520Then what have you got the lantern for?
33520WHY DON''T YOU LOVE JESUS?
33520Well, but,say some,"is there not a sowing time as well as harvest?"
33520Well, did n''t I say''whosoever''?
33520Well,I said,"how long have you been one?"
33520What am I to do, then?
33520What does your church believe?
33520What have you done with that blood?
33520What must I do to be saved?
33520Where did you get your good clothes? 33520 Why not?
33520Why, I was listening to your sermon last night, and when you asked,''Who''ll receive Him now?'' 33520 Why,"says the mistress,"what are you talking about?
33520Willie, did n''t I tell you I would catch you? 33520 Wilt thou go with this man?"
33520You believe you_ have_ everlasting life?
3352015:"How shall they preach, except they be sent?
3352024, we read:"Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?
3352040, where we find him saying to the other thief,"Dost not thou fear God?"
33520Am I to depend upon my works?
33520And I ask you,"Will you not be reconciled?"
33520And I would like to ask you this question, Has not God a right to say who shall come into His kingdom, and how we shall come?
33520And Saul cried out,"Who art thou?"
33520And as I go on through the world I can shout now, when the bell is tolling,"O death, where is thy sting?"
33520And now God comes down into this unbelieving world, and says,"Who will set to his seal that I am true?"
33520And now, my dear friends, did you ever ask yourselves, Which is the worst-- the leprosy of sin, or the leprosy of the body?
33520And so I want to ask the friends in this hall, Who will set to his seal or her seal that God is true?
33520And so this young man was met by Satan, who whispered to him,"How do you know that is a right translation?"
33520And the thought flashed across my mind,"Will there be no difference?
33520And the young man said,"Doctor, do you believe that?"
33520And what convicted him?
33520And what was the message that the angels brought to those shepherds?
33520And when Rebekah appeared, they said to her,"Wilt thou go with this man?"
33520And when she asks him,"Well, husband, how is it?"
33520And where are you then?
33520And why?
33520And, sinner, can you, in all your difficulties or doubts and fears, have a better leader than Jehovah?
33520Are we in difficulties, in doubt, or in perplexity?
33520Are we willing to receive what Christ has already done?
33520Are you going to let present opportunity pass without coming to Christ?
33520Are you going to let these solemn moments come to an end without entering the ark?
33520Are you in doubt about anything?
33520Are you ready to confess Him as your Lord and Saviour, and take your stand by the Master, and say from this hour, I will serve the Lord Jesus?
33520At last an old man got up, and said,"What is the matter with us, that we are downhearted and sad?
33520But did that take away his guilt?
33520But do we walk thus in an unclouded sky?
33520But how could God be just and the justifier of sinners?
33520But now the grave has lost its terror and gloom; I can go and look down into the grave and shout over it, and cry out,"O grave, where is thy victory?"
33520But suppose I meet a man whom I have seen out here night after night begging, and I say to him,"Hullo, beggar, is that you?"
33520But when his money was gone, where were his friends?
33520But who did Christ say it to?
33520By and by the pilot was heard to say,"Do you see the lower lights?"
33520Can you bring life to the dead?
33520Can you buy it?
33520Can you by yourself make them clean?
33520Can you do a better thing than trust to God for salvation?
33520Can you feel that He has lifted your burden off your shoulders on to His own shoulder?
33520Dear afflicted mothers, has God not removed your children to a pure and happy life?
33520Did I understand you aright?
33520Did you ever hear of any one going down to hell trusting in Jesus?
33520Did you ever hear of anybody being cured of leprosy?"
33520Did you ever think what a terrible state of things it would be if man was allowed to live for ever in his lost, ruined state?
33520Do n''t you?
33520Do you believe more than ever that you are a sinner?
33520Do you know why?"
33520Do you say Christ is nothing to you?
33520Do you think when that boy grew up he could fail to love that mother who died to save him?
33520Do you want to know how to get faith?
33520Do you want to know the reason why?
33520Do you want to know what it is?
33520For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
33520Glorious, is it not, to know we have such a Saviour?
33520God says,"Let him take"; who can stop us if God says it?
33520Has God ever broken His word?
33520Has not England a right to say who shall rule it, and who shall be its Queen?
33520Has the Blood touched you?
33520Have I been born of the Spirit?"
33520Have they taken you to theatres and vicious places, and left you bleeding and wounded?
33520Have you not heard of it?"
33520He attempted to write, with the same result; every letter seemed to ask him,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?"
33520He might have turned on Peter and said,"Peter, is it true you do n''t know me?
33520He says,"What do you mean by being born again-- born from above, born of the Spirit?
33520He thought at first to push her aside, but the child pressed it home again,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?"
33520He thought,"How am I to tell his parents?"
33520He turned round, and said,"My friend, are you not blind?"
33520He went on to his office, but he felt as if every letter he opened read,"Why do n''t you love Jesus?"
33520His breath departs from him, he dies, and where is your help?
33520His wife says,"Where did you get that Bible?"
33520How am I to be saved?
33520How are you going to wash them?
33520How can He be in us if we do n''t receive Him and trust Him?
33520How is this you are not a beggar?"
33520How many people want to do the same nowadays?
33520I am satisfied with the finished work of my Son, and will you be satisfied?"
33520I ask you once again,"Where will you spend eternity?
33520I can fancy Naaman''s indignation as he asks,"Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel?
33520I can imagine him saying to his servant,"What did you say?
33520I have been asked by a great many good men,"Why is it we do n''t have any results?
33520I imagine some of you will say,"Have n''t I anything to do?"
33520I said,"Do you believe the Bible?"
33520I say to you, young man, will you have this gift?
33520I say,"My friend, what makes you so happy?"
33520I went forward and said,"Are you a Christian?"
33520If Christ did not die for our sins, what is going to become of our souls?
33520If God does not save us, who will?
33520If He did not, how are we going to get rid of them?
33520If any one is here that really loves a man, is she thinking of how much she will have to give up?
33520If death should come after any one of us to- night, are we sheltered behind the blood?
33520If he do n''t, what is the good of trying to build a house?
33520If there is a persecutor here to- night, I would ask you,"Why persecute Jesus?"
33520If we are dark and sorrowful, how is the world to know that we are children of peace, and joy, and gladness?
33520If we make light of that blood, what is going to become of our souls?
33520If you are ever to be saved, why not now?
33520If you die without Christ, without hope, and without God, where will you be?
33520If you do not pity him and love him when I am dead and gone, who will?"
33520If you make light of so great a salvation, how can you escape the damnation of hell?
33520Is He not worthy of it?
33520Is it not a wonderful thing?
33520Is it not good news to get rid of your sin?
33520Is it not the very best thing you can do?
33520Is it true you have forgotten how I cured and healed your wife''s mother when she lay at the point of death?
33520Is it true you have forgotten how I raised you up when you were sinking in the sea?
33520Is it true you have forgotten that mountain scene when you wanted to build the three tabernacles?
33520Is it true, Peter, you have forgotten me?"
33520Is not God worthy of our confidence?
33520Is not God worthy of our trust?
33520Is not that good news?
33520Is not that wonderful?
33520Is that all I have to do?"
33520Is that there?"
33520Is there any place in the Bible where it says''Take,''or is it only a word you use?
33520Is there any reason why you should not have faith in God?
33520Is there not a Ruth here?
33520It cost God so much to give us this blood, and shall we try to keep it from the world which is perishing from the want of it?
33520It is the most solemn question that will ever come before you down here,"Have I been born from above?
33520It''s very cheap, is n''t it?
33520Let me ask the poor backslider, Did you ever feel the touch of the hand of Jesus?
33520Let me ask you, my friend, Is there any reason why you should hate Christ, or why your heart should be turned against Him?
33520Listen, and hear what He says--"Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?"
33520Make haste to be wise; for"how shall we escape if we neglect so great a salvation?"
33520Moody?"
33520Moody?"
33520Mother, father, will you claim Him as your Shepherd?
33520My friends, are you going to"Take"to- night?
33520My little child, will you have Jesus as your Shepherd?
33520Now I am old, can I a second time enter my mother''s womb, and be born again?"
33520Now faith is-- what?
33520Now just let me stop a minute, and you think, and ask yourselves this question,"Have I been born again?"
33520Now, can you tell me by what process that same grass was turned into feathers, hair, bristles, and wool?"
33520Now, is it too much to ask or to expect that every person in this hall should put their faith in God?
33520Now, my friends, will you go with this man?
33520Now, my friends, you may say you pity a man who was so badly off, but did it ever strike you that you are a thousand times worse off?
33520Now, one question: What are you going to do with Christ?
33520Now, who will accept of that redemption?
33520Now, you that never trusted Him, wo n''t you just leap right into His arms to- night?
33520Now, young man, do you want Him to save you?
33520Oh, sheriff, why did you not tell me?
33520Only this afternoon, as I was in the inquiry- room, a person came in, and I said,"Are you a Christian?"
33520Or can you raise up a dead body by saying,"Young man, arise"?
33520People say,"What is faith?"
33520Saul of Tarsus, Zacchà ¦ us, and a host of others; how long did it take the Lord to bring them about?
33520Shall it be with the saints, and martyrs, and prophets, or in the dark caverns of hell, amidst blackness and darkness for ever?
33520She came again, and I asked,"What is the trouble?"
33520She looked strangely at me, and said,"Do n''t you believe me?"
33520Sinner, how are you going to get your robes clean if you do n''t get them washed in the blood of the Lamb?
33520So she went to the doctor, and said,"Would you like me to take care of my boy?"
33520Some of you smile at this illustration, but the Bible uses it, and if God uses it in His word, why should not I?
33520Some people say,"Why, if these men are holding, as you say, error, why should they be so in earnest?"
33520Some think much of their dinner; why should not God''s children think a good deal of THEIR SPIRITUAL FOOD?
33520Suppose I were to say, I will give this Bible to"whosoever"; what have you got to do?
33520Suppose the windows of this building were all closed, and we were complaining of the darkness, what would any one say to us?
33520Surely that is broad enough-- is it not?
33520THE RIGHT KIND OF FAITH"Sirs, what must I do to be saved?"
33520Take that away, and what is my hope in heaven?
33520That was a glorious thing to do, was it not, sinner?
33520That was a good number in a short time, was it not?
33520The President saw the child, and called her to him, and said,"My child, what can I do for you?"
33520The dying man sprang up from his cot, and said,"What do you say?
33520The following Sunday night I was preaching about"receiving,"and I put the question,"Who''ll receive Him now?"
33520The great question is-- Have you got the token?
33520The man turned deathly pale, and he threw up both his hands, and said,"Was that Governor Pollock?
33520The next day he called upon me-- he was a merchant in that city-- and said,"Do you remember me?"
33520Then he said,"Wo n''t you please read it to me again?"
33520Then why not ask Him?
33520Then you say,"If it is not by working in earnest, how am I to be saved?"
33520There are moments in the life of us all when we seem in a fix; we just stand still, and say,"What shall I do?
33520There is a man dying-- can you put new life into him?
33520There may be some who are saying, Why does God demand blood?
33520There was an old man sitting there listening, and he said to them,"You say you wo n''t believe anything you ca n''t reason out?"
33520There was love and sympathy in that hand, and the moment the slumbering boy felt it, he said,"Oh, mother, have you come?"
33520They asked Christ,"What must we do that we may work the works of God?"
33520They were terribly in earnest, yet did God hear their cry?
33520True, it was written over His cross,"Jesus, the King of the Jews"; but where was His kingdom?
33520Very simple, is n''t it?
33520WHAT IS CHRIST TO YOU?
33520WHERE WILL YOU BE A HUNDRED YEARS HENCE?"
33520WHO WILL HAVE IT?
33520Was it not a change?
33520Was it their good resolutions or their works?
33520Well, how long did it take Naaman to be cured?
33520Well, if man do not ask payment twice, will God?
33520What act could have been more black and hellish?
33520What are you going to do?
33520What convicted him?
33520What could stand before them then?
33520What did he do?
33520What did the mother do?
33520What do you say?"
33520What does Christ say to him?
33520What does Ruth say?
33520What has brought darkness into the world?
33520What has that to do with the new birth, being united with the church on earth?
33520What is He willing to be to you, if you will have Him?
33520What is he to do there?
33520What is he to do?
33520What is his name?
33520What is that to do with the new birth and the new creation?
33520What is the gift of God if it is not eternal life?
33520What is this but the bloodshedding and death of Christ?
33520What is your burden, my friend, that you can not leave with Christ?"
33520What made the difference?
33520What more can you do, and what less can you do than trust Him?
33520What now do they need?
33520What right have I to complain?
33520What right have you to cut a verse in two, and say you believe the one half, but not the other?
33520What says the great wilderness preacher?
33520What was it saved those men?
33520What was it then that convicted this poor thief?
33520What was it?
33520What was to be done?
33520What would you say?
33520What would you think of a farmer who went on sowing all the year round, and never thought of reaping?
33520When the hunters see it coming, what do they do?
33520Whence comes our want of faith?
33520Where will you be a hundred years hence?"
33520Where will you be, on the left or the right hand of God?
33520Who was he?
33520Who will come to God as the poor prodigal did?
33520Who will have Christ-- who will trust Him?
33520Who will have faith in Him to- night?
33520Who will have it now?
33520Who will say it this afternoon?
33520Who will say to- night, as Ruth did,"I will follow thee; and thy God shall be my God"?
33520Who will say yes to- night, and take it?
33520Who will set to his seal that God is true?
33520Who will take God at His word to- night?
33520Who will take Him?
33520Who will trust Him to- night?
33520Whoever heard of a man going out to fish, and setting his net, and then letting it stop there, and never pulling it in?
33520Why is that?
33520Why should not every man and woman in this house have faith in God?
33520Why should not every one put confidence in Him now, and trust God to save them?
33520Why, suppose a man said,"Mr. Moody, I have no faith in you whatever,"do n''t you think it would grieve me?
33520Why, then, are we not full of faith in Him?
33520Why?
33520Why?
33520Why?
33520Why?
33520Will Pa deceive you?
33520Will any one take up the language of Ruth?
33520Will you despise the mercy of God?
33520Will you have the pardon, or will you despise the gift of God?
33520Will you not lay hold of the promise, and trust it, and follow Him now?
33520Will you receive His love and compassion?
33520Wo n''t you just take Him at His word, and believe on Him now?
33520Wo n''t you please read it to me again?"
33520Wonderful thing, is it not, to have God to help us on our way?
33520Would any judge in the land support him?
33520Would you call that being born from above?
33520Would you have it return?
33520Would you insult the Almighty by offering the fruits of this frail body to atone for sin?
33520You belong to that class, do n''t you?
33520You may get angry, like a man a short time ago, who marched out of a church, saying,"What right has that American to make such a statement?"
33520You want to be fed; are you going to wander about seeking something to satisfy the cravings of your soul?
33520You, mother, are you weeping bitter tears for your little one?
33520Young man, I will leave you to answer the question, Was it not a good thing he settled it that night?
33520Young man, have you come to London, and fallen in with bad companions?
33520Young man, just ask yourself the question,"Where shall I be?"
33520Young man, young woman, will you have Him as your Shepherd?
33520how long would she rule this empire?
33520how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?"
33520may I not wash in them, and be clean?"
33520please, tell me, why do n''t you love Jesus?"
33520was that kind- hearted man the governor?
34573Am I my brother''s keeper?
34573Cain, where is thy Brother?
34573Have any of the Rulers, or of the Pharisees, believed on him?
34573What would you have thereof?
34573Where is my lover?
34573Who are you?
34573***** But why talk for ever?
34573***** In all these melancholy cases what is it best to do?
34573***** What can we do to make things better?
34573***** What shall be done for Criminals, the backward children of society, who refuse to keep up with the moral or legal advance of mankind?
34573And you, my brothers, what shall you become?
34573Are religion and conscience there to abate the fever of passion and regulate desire?
34573Are the Quakers better born than other men?
34573Are these rags the imperishable honors that cover them?
34573Are you not all brothers, rich or poor?
34573Are you so good that you must forsake him?
34573As a class, did they ever denounce a public sin?
34573Be it your folly or your crime, still cries the voice,"Where is thy brother?"
34573But can she buy the people of the North?
34573But have we a right to punish a man for the example''s sake?
34573But how are they to be paid?
34573But how does the rich man reconcile it to his conscience?
34573But is it right to take vengeance; for me to hurt a man to- day solely because he hurt me yesterday?
34573But is that all?
34573But suppose it had happened-- what would become of your commerce, of your fishing smacks on the Banks or along the shore?
34573But the glory which comes of epaulets and feathers; that strutting glory which is dyed in blood-- what shall we say of it?
34573But the men--"Where is my husband?"
34573But who ever told us such men could not compete with the slave of South Carolina who is paid nothing?
34573But why talk of days so old?
34573Can it not extirpate pauperism, prevent intemperance, pluck up the causes of the present crime?
34573Can we not end this poverty-- the misery and crime it brings?
34573Can we not lessen it?
34573Can we say we have not deserved it?
34573Can you frighten a starving girl into chastity?
34573Can you not hinder him from being worse?
34573Can you wholly abandon a friend or a child who thus deserts himself?
34573Consider all these things, and who can doubt that a great moral progress has been made?
34573Could such men do this without a secret shame?
34573Could such men understand by what authority he taught?
34573Did any one of you ever address an erring brother on the folly of his ways with manly tenderness, and try to charm him back, and find a cold repulse?
34573Did far- sighted men know that there would be a war on Mexico, or else on the tariff or the currency, and prefer the first as the least evil?
34573Did it never happen to one of you to be such a child, to have outgrown that rebellion and wickedness?
34573Did not Christianity begin with a martyrdom?
34573Did not God send his greatest, noblest, purest Son to seek and save the lost?
34573Did not Jesus say, resist not evil-- with evil?
34573Did not Jesus say,"Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these ye have done it unto me?"
34573Did not Mr. Clay say he hoped he could slay a Mexican?
34573Did not Mr. Webster, in the streets of Philadelphia, bid the volunteers, misguided young men, go and uphold the stars of their country?
34573Did not he declare this war unconstitutional, and threaten to impeach the President who made it, and then go and invest a son in it?
34573Did the generation that is passing from the stage ever comprehend and fairly judge the new generation coming on?
34573Do I look to the authority of the greatest Son of man?
34573Do famous men say,"Our country however bounded,"and vote to plunder a sister State?
34573Do our methods of punishment effect that object?
34573Do speech and silence mean the same thing?
34573Do they do it now and here?
34573Do they not know the ruin which they work; are they the only men in the land who have not heard of the effects of intemperance?
34573Do they now?
34573Do we forget our sires, forget our God?
34573Do we not see that by our present course we are teaching men violence, fraud, deceit, and murder?
34573Do you know the meaning of the name of the city?
34573Do you not see that if a man have a new truth, it must be reformatory and so create an outcry?
34573Do you say we can not diminish intemperance, neither by law, nor by righteous efforts without law?
34573Do you think that is democratic?
34573Do you wonder at the crime which fills your jails, and swells the tax of county and city?
34573Do you wonder at the poverty just now spoken of; at the vagrant children?
34573Do you wonder at this?
34573Do you wonder that I asked: Who is sufficient for these things?
34573Does not Christianity say the strong should help the weak?
34573Does not that mean something?
34573Does that favor man-- represent man?
34573Does the Government know of these things; know of their cause?
34573Does the good physician spend the night in feasting with the sound, or in watching with the sick?
34573For how has it come to pass that in a land of abundance here are men, for no fault of their own, born into want, living in want, and dying of want?
34573Good men ask, What shall we do?
34573Has a single man in all New England lost his seat in any office because he favored the war?
34573Has none of you ever been such a father or mother?
34573Has the Christian fire faded out from those words, once so marvellously bright?
34573Has the soil forgot its wonted faith, and borne a different race of men from those who struggled eight long years for freedom?
34573Have they not Christ and God to aid and bless them?
34573Have you ever known a capitalist, a man who lives by letting money, refuse to lend money for the war because the war was wicked?
34573Have you ever known a northern manufacturer who would not sell a kernel of powder, nor a cannon- ball, nor a coat, nor a shirt for the war?
34573Have you ever known a northern merchant who would not let his ship for the war, because the war was wicked and he a Christian?
34573He blasphemeth Moses and the prophets; yea, he hath a devil, and is mad, why hear him?"
34573He looks forward, and what prospect is there?
34573How can it be otherwise?
34573How can we repent, cast our own sins behind us, outgrow and forget them better, than by helping others to work out their salvation?
34573How could it be otherwise?
34573How long is it since men sent their servants to the"Workhouse,"to be beaten"for disobedience,"at the discretion of the master?
34573How long will it be before we apply good sense and Christianity to the prevention of crime?
34573How many men of the rank and file in the late war have since become respectable citizens?
34573How many of them had any fault to find with this national butchery on the Lord''s day?
34573How many of them will be reformed and cured by this treatment, and so live honest and useful lives hereafter?
34573How many of your newspapers have shown its true atrocity; how many of the pulpits?
34573How much better is it to choke the life out of a man behind the prison wall?
34573How much better off are many women in Boston who gain their bread by the needle?
34573I am strong; who dares assail me?
34573I know some men care little for the rich, but when the owners keep their craft in port, where can the"hands"find work or their mouths find bread?
34573I will not at this moment undertake to go behind their organization and ask,"How comes it that they are so ill- born?"
34573I wish I could say,"They know not what they do;"but at this day who does not know the effect of intemperance in Boston?
34573If it be the duty of the State to prevent crime, not avenge it, is it not plain what is the way?
34573If it be treason to speak against the war, what was it to make the war, to ask for 50,000 men and$ 74,000,000 for the war?
34573If it is right in the President of the United States to rob and murder, why not for the President of the United States Bank?
34573If it were right to kill Mexicans for a few dollars a month, why was it not also right to kill Americans, especially when it pays the most?
34573If one mock at the crimes of men, perhaps at their sins, at the infamous punishments they suffer-- what can you say of him?
34573If the South wants this, would the North object?
34573In Dartmoor prison?
34573In all forms of social life hitherto devised these classes have appeared, and it has been a serious question, What shall be done with them?
34573In scarlet garments from Bozrah?
34573In war, what will become of them?
34573Is fear of physical pain the highest element you can appeal to in a child; the most effectual?
34573Is he so bad that he can not be made better?
34573Is her day gone by?
34573Is honesty gone, and honor gone, your love of country gone, religion gone, and nothing manly left; not even shame?
34573Is it Christian or manly to reduce wages in hard times, and not raise them in fair times?
34573Is it God''s will that large dividends and small wages should be paid at the same time?
34573Is it better for the State to kill a man in cold blood, than for me to kill my brother when in a rage?
34573Is it consistent for the State to take vengeance when I may not?
34573Is it not better to acquire it by the schoolmaster than the cannon; by peddling cloth, tin, any thing rather than bullets?
34573Is it?
34573Is not society the father of us all, our protector and defender?
34573Is not the poor man, too, most often cheated in the weight and the measure?
34573Is our soil degenerate, and have we lost the breed of noble men?
34573Is that a praise?
34573Is that all?
34573Is that all?
34573Is that democratic too?
34573Is that democratic, to tax every man''s breakfast and supper, for the sake of getting more territory to whip negroes in?
34573Is that the will of God?
34573Is the State only a step- mother?
34573Is there manliness enough left in the North to do that?
34573Is there not in the nation skill to heal these men?
34573It is a good thing to forgive an offence: who does not need that favor and often?
34573It is a sad question to society, What shall be done with the criminals-- thieves, housebreakers, pirates, murderers?
34573It is a serious question to the world, What is to become of the humbler nations-- Irish, Mexicans, Malays, Indians, Negroes?
34573Let him commit a small crime, which shall involve no moral guilt, and be legally punished-- who respects him again?
34573Men will call us traitors: what then?
34573Much may be said to excuse the rank and file, ignorant men, many of them in want-- but for the leaders, what can be said?
34573Need I tell you how I felt at sight of the work which stretched out before me?
34573Not tell the nation that she is doing wrong?
34573Now it becomes a serious question, What shall be done for these stragglers, or even with them?
34573Now, What is the amount of the national earnings?
34573Of what use to shut a man in a jail, and release him with the certainty that he will come out no better, and soon return for the same offence?
34573Once the great question was, How large is the standing army?
34573Perhaps you can not cure these men!--is there not power enough to keep them from doing harm; to make them useful?
34573Poor brothers, how could they?
34573Said I not truly, our most famous politicians are, in the general way, only mercantile party- men?
34573Seldom has it been the question, What shall be done for them?
34573Shall I speak of their sisters; of the education they are receiving; the end that awaits them?
34573Shall all this war, this aggression of the slave power be for nothing?
34573Shall we ever waken out of our sleep; shall we ever remember the duties we owe to the world and to God, who put us here on this new continent?
34573Shall we stop there?
34573Should they rather worship the Grecian Jove, or the Jehovah of the Jews?
34573Suppose the culprits ask,"Where will you hang so many?"
34573Suppose the warriors should ask,"Why, what is that?"
34573Suppose those three felons, the halters round their neck, should ask also,"Why, what is that?"
34573Take the politicians most famous and honored at this day, and what have they done?
34573That other man,[19] benevolent and indefatigable, where is he?
34573That thirty thousand-- in the name of humanity I ask,"Where are they?"
34573The Federalists did not see all things; who ever did?
34573The beef is eaten up, the cloth worn away, the powder is burnt, and what is there to show for it all?
34573The crime which is so terribly avenged on woman-- think you that God will hold men innocent of that?
34573The first question is, What end shall we aim at in dealing with them?
34573The ignorant man, ill- born and ill- bred, asks:"Why not when done on a small scale; why not good for me?"
34573The little children who survive-- are they to be left to become barbarians in the midst of our civilization?
34573The possession of the West Indies would bring much money to New England, and what is the value of freedom compared to coffee and sugar and cotton?
34573The power of America-- do we need proof of that?
34573Their character will one day be a blot and a curse to the nation, and who is to blame?
34573Then what do you think despotism would be?
34573Then who shall dare break its peace?
34573They have labored for a tariff, or for free trade; but what have they done for man?
34573This result was doubtless God''s design, but was it man''s intention?
34573This, that is glorious in his apparel, Proud in the greatness of his strength?
34573Those that remain, what have they gained by this expulsion of their brothers?
34573Throw him over, what good would that do?
34573To take one man''s life is murder; what is it to practise killing as an art, a trade; to do it by thousands?
34573Treason is it?
34573Tried by these three standards, the judgment was true; what could he do to please these three parties?
34573Under such circumstances how many of you would have done better?
34573Under such circumstances, what marvel that the poor man becomes unthrifty, reckless and desperate?
34573Virginia sells her negroes; what does New England sell?
34573Was it through any fault or deficiency of Jesus, that these men refused him?
34573We call ourselves Christians; we often repeat the name, the words of Christ,--but his prayer?

34573What good would that do?
34573What have the strong been doing all this while, that the weak have come to such a state?

34573What if she forewent her native instinct and the mother said,"My boy is deformed, a cripple-- let him die?"
34573What if your men of low degree are a vanity, and your men of high degree are a lie?
34573What influence on society?
34573What is it on the criminals themselves?
34573What is the educational effect of our present political conduct, of our invasions, our battles, our victories; of the speeches of"our great men?"
34573What is the effect of this punishment on society at large?
34573What is their practical influence on Church and State-- on the economy of mankind?
34573What is unavoidably the lot of such?
34573What keeps you from a course of crime?
34573What of that?
34573What recognized amusement have they but this, of drinking themselves drunk?
34573What shall be done for the dangerous classes, the criminals?
34573What shall become of the children of such men?
34573What shall restrain him?
34573What shall the fool answer; what the traitor say?
34573What shall the future Sundays be, and what the year?
34573What shall we do for all these little ones that are perishing?
34573What shall we do?
34573What then?
34573What was taught to the mass of men, in those days, better than the character of Christ?
34573What was the reason for all this?
34573What was the result?
34573What will be the fate of these 2,000 children?
34573What will be their fate?
34573What will their influence be as fathers, husbands?
34573What would the Lords say?
34573What would you do next, after you have thrown him over?
34573What would you say if a teacher refused to help a boy because the boy was slow to learn; because he now and then broke through the rules?
34573What would you say?
34573What years of noble life are deemed enough to wipe the stain out of his reputation?
34573When money is the end, what need to look for any thing more?
34573When sinners slew him, did God forsake mankind?
34573When such men set about reforming the evils of society, with such a determined soul, what evil can stand against mankind?
34573When the parents are there, what is left for the children?
34573Whence come the tenants of our almshouses, jails, the victims of vice in all our towns?
34573Where are its"Resolutions?"
34573Where are the men we sent to Mexico?
34573Where could they find bread or cloth in time of war?
34573Where is the treasure we have wasted?
34573Where is the wealth they hoped from the spoil of churches?
34573Where would be the more hideous deformity?
34573Wherefore is thine apparel red, And thy garments like those of one that treadeth the wine- vat?
34573Which of the sectarian journals of Boston advocates any of the great reforms of the day?
34573Which of these men has shown the most interest in those three million slaves?
34573While educated and abounding men acknowledge no rule of conduct but self- interest, what can you expect of the ignorant and the perishing?
34573Who asks,"What do the clergy think of the tariff, or free trade, of annexation, or the war, of slavery, or the education movement?"
34573Who ever saw a Quaker in an almshouse?
34573Who ever yet had faith in God that had none in man?
34573Who is it that organizes the sin of society?
34573Who is there that can do this?
34573Who is to blame for all that?
34573Who of you has not lost a relative, at least a friend, in that withering flame, that terrible_ Auto da fe_, that hell- fire on earth?
34573Who shall dare stop his ears, when they preach their awful denunciation of want and woe?
34573Who that is fifty years of age, does not remember the aspect of Boston on public days; on the evening of such days?
34573Who would employ such a youth; with such a reputation; with the smell of the jail in his very breath?
34573Who would not wish his forehead the altar for such a vow?
34573Whose business is it, if it is not yours and mine?
34573Why not?
34573Why not?
34573Why should they honor or even tolerate him?
34573Why should they not?
34573Why so?
34573Why was it that we did nothing?
34573Why, if the people can not discuss the war they have got to fight and to pay for, who under heaven can?
34573Will a white lily grow in a common sewer; can you bleach linen in a tan- pit?
34573Will the North say"Yes?"
34573Will they say,"We should lose our influence were we to tell of this and do these things?
34573Will you cause them to perish; you?
34573Will you let them perish?
34573Will you not prevent their perishing?
34573Will you refuse to go?
34573With his education, exposure, temptation, outward and from within, how much better would the best of you become?
34573Would it not be a work profitable to ourselves, and useful to others weaker than we?
34573Would not a reputation for uprightness and truth be a good capital for any man, old or young?
34573Yet how few preached against the war?
34573Yet is there one who wishes to be a foe to mankind?
34573Yet what does it teach?
34573You are the nation''s head, and if the head be wilful and wicked, what shall its members do and be?
34573You ask, O Americans, where is the harmony of the Union?
34573Your morality, your religion?
34573Your peace societies, and your churches, what can they do?
34573_ The People._ 1. Who is this that cometh from Edom?
34573a popular sin?
34573and has it come to this, that men are silent over such a sin?
34573and not raise them again in extraordinary times?
34573butcher a nation to get soil to make a field for slaves?
34573how could they?
34573how long would twelve hundred rum- shops disgrace your town?
34573how should you feel towards such?
34573is that the body of men who a year or two ago went forth, so full of valor and of rum?
34573nay, which is not an obstacle in the path of all manly reform?
34573says one;"And my son?"
34573screams a woman whom anguish makes respectable spite of her filth and ignorance;--"And our father, where is he?"
34573send him to call sinners to repent?
34573then why shall not the poor man, hungry and cold, say,"My purse however bounded,"and seize on all he can get?
34573treason to discuss a war which the government made, and which the people are made to pay for?
34573what are they doing in the nation?
34573what of that fleet which crowds across the Atlantic sea, trading with east and west and north and south?
34573what of your Indiamen, deep freighted with oriental wealth?
34573what of your coasting vessels, doubling the headlands all the way from the St. John''s to the Nueces?
34573what of your whale ships in the Pacific?
34573what shall the parents do to mend their dull boy, or their wicked one?
34573where are thy brothers?"
34573where is thy brother?
34573yes a large class of women in all our great cities?
13204He that planted the ear, shall He not hear? 13204 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone?"
13204If these things are done in the green tree, what shall be done in the dry?
13204If weakness may excuse, What murderer, what traitor, parricide, Incestuous, sacrilegious, may not plead it? 13204 Is the law sin?"
13204Tell me,says St. Paul,"ye that desire to be under the law, do ye not hear the law?
13204Thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking of the law, dishonorest thou God?
13204Thou that teachest another, teachest thou not thyself? 13204 Who can hold a fire in his hand, By thinking on the frosty Caucasus?
13204[ 1] But can we suppose that such a sincere, such a truthful and such a holy Being as the Son of God would stoop to any such artifice as this? 13204 [ 3] But, is the sense of duty_ beautiful_ to apostate man?
13204_ How_ shall I believe?
1320420.--"The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?"
1320420.--"The young man saith unto him, All these things have I kept from my youth up: what lack I yet?"
1320421--23.--"Thou therefore which, teachest another, teachest Thou not thyself?
1320428, 29.--"Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of God?
13204Again, does the law search me, and probe me, and elicit me, and reveal me, until I would shrink out of the sight of God and of myself?
13204Again, is a man conscious of the corruption of his heart?
13204Am I not completely baffled, the moment I attempt to construct the consciousness of the unearthly state?
13204And is there any injustice in this?
13204And now we ask, if this state of things ought to last forever?
13204And now we ask: Can the law generate all this excellence within the human soul?
13204And now what is the effect of this combination of command and threatening upon the agent?
13204And think you that God will not grant a request which He himself has inspired?
13204And upon_ such_ terms, can not the criminal well afford to examine into his crime?
13204And where are the results?
13204And why should it?
13204Are they deluded in respect to the doctrine of human depravity, and are you in the right?
13204Are we, then, sinners, and in fear for the final result of our life?
13204Are you prepared for the impending and inevitable disclosures and revelations of the day of judgment?
13204As the deteriorating process advances, does not the guilt diminish?
13204But are we at ease and self- contented?
13204But he who will not even look at his sin,--what does not he deserve from that Being who poured out His own blood for it?
13204But is the Bible untrue, because the man is ignorant?
13204But is this so?
13204But the real penitent rebuked him, saying:"Dost thou not fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?
13204But what do I know of the surroundings and experience of a man who has travelled from time into eternity?
13204But what does all this reasoning and querying imply?
13204But what is the lesson which we are to read by this clear and solemn light?
13204But what is this compared with the suffering soul?
13204But when he put the other question to himself: Will the Deity_ pardon_ me for my transgression?
13204But where is the man?
13204But why do they confine this species of reasoning to the pagan world?
13204But, how is this lack to be supplied?
13204By what law?
13204Can God say to the hardened Judas: Son be of good cheer, thy sin is forgiven thee?
13204Can He speak to the traitor as He speaks to the Magdalen?
13204Can I not do what I will with mine own?
13204Can a perfect heart be originated in a sinner by these two methods?
13204Can any being do a wrong act, and be as sound in his will and as spiritually strong, after it, as he was before it?
13204Can it be that sheer imposture and error have such a tenacious vitality as this?
13204Can it be that the truth that there is only one God is native to the human spirit, and that the pagan"_ knows_"this God?
13204Can it be that there is a moral law written upon their hearts forbidding such carnality, and enjoining purity and holiness?
13204Can it be that this strong and steady draft of conscience,--strong and steady as gravitation,--will ultimately prove ineffectual?
13204Can the moral law originate this?
13204Can you say with David,"We give thanks and rejoice, at the remembrance of Thy holiness?"
13204Do men at such times find that sincere desires, and longings, and aspirations, come at their beck?
13204Do they tell you that they are uniformly successful in inducing these sinners to leave their sins?
13204Do we feel ourselves to be guilty beings; do we hunger, and do we thirst for the expiation of our sins?
13204Do you ask me to make myself wholly miserable?"
13204Do you ask, What one particular single thing shall I do, that I may be safe for time and eternity?
13204Do you believe that there is an eternal world, and that the general features of this mode of existence have been scripturally depicted?
13204Do you come to us with the theory that every human creature will be happy in another life, and that the doctrine of future misery is false?
13204Do you know that your love of sin has the power to stifle and overcome the mightiest of your fears, when you are strongly tempted to self- indulgence?
13204Do you tell us that God is too good to punish men, and that therefore it must be that He is merciful?
13204Do you_ love_ God''s holy character?
13204Does his consciousness of inward poverty assume this form?
13204Does it congenially sway and incline him?
13204Does the holy law of God overarch him like the firmament,"tinged with a blue of heavenly dye, and starred with sparkling gold?"
13204Does the law, in its abrupt and terrible operation in my conscience, start out the feeling of guiltiness until I throb with anguish, and moral fear?
13204Does the stern behest,"Do this or die,"secure his willing and joyful obedience?
13204Else, why do these pangs and fears shoot and flash through it, every now and then?
13204For example:"Where is boasting then?
13204For how can his sin be pardoned, unless it is clearly understood by the pardoning power?
13204For, think you that the insensible sinner is always to be thus insensible,--that this power of self- inspection is eternally to"rust unused?"
13204For, who of the race of man is holy enough to stand such an inspection?
13204Has he attained the chief end of man?
13204Has religion reached its last term, and ultimate limit, when man respects the rights of property?
13204Has the Deity spoken to you in particular, and told you that He will forgive your sin, and my sin, and that of all the generations?
13204Have you a private revelation of your own?
13204He still has a capacity for loving; but in eternity where is the fame, the wealth, the pleasure upon which he has hitherto expended it?
13204He that formed the eye, shall He not see?"
13204He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things?"
13204How can God administer forgiveness, unless there is a correlated temper to receive it?
13204How can his soul be purified from its inward corruption, unless it is searched by the Spirit of all holiness?
13204How can we endure such a scrutiny as God is instituting into our character and conduct?
13204How do you establish the guilt of those at the end of the line?
13204How is this great hiatus in human character to be filled up?
13204How shall he resist temptation, unless he has some_ fear_ of God before his eyes?
13204How shall the fountain of holy and filial affection towards God be made to gush up into everlasting life, within your now unloving and hostile heart?
13204How then can he be brought in guilty before the same eternal bar, and be condemned to the same eternal punishment, with the nominal Christian?
13204How, then, can the mere reproaches and remorse of conscience be regarded as evidence of piety?
13204I ask, therefore, Wast thou ever killed stark dead by the law of works contained in the Scriptures?
13204If Christianity is a delusion and a lie, why does it not die out, and disappear?
13204If the Sovereign has a perfect right to say whether He will or will not pardon the criminal, has He not the same right to say_ how_ He will do it?
13204If the foundations themselves of morals and religion are destroyed, what can be done for the salvation of the creature?
13204If this experience has been forced upon him, shall he meet it with the port and bearing of a strong man?
13204If you can admire and praise them, in this style, why do you not_ love_ them?
13204If you view your own personal sin in reference to your own personal fears, are you not a slave to it?
13204In trying to judge of the final condition of a pagan outside of revelation, we must ask the question: Was he penitent?
13204Is a man, then, sensible that his understanding is darkened by sin, and that he is destitute of clear and just apprehensions of divine things?
13204Is he moulded by it?
13204Is it not so in our own personal experience?
13204Is it not_ too late_ for such a creature as man now is to adopt the method of salvation by the works of the law?
13204Is not that a strange act by which he, for a time, duplicates his own unity, and sets himself to look at himself?
13204Is not that a wonderful process by which a man knows, not some other thing but,_ himself_?
13204Is not the one the measure of the other?
13204Is not truth mighty, and must it not finally prevail, to the pulling down of the stronghold which Satan has in the human heart?
13204Is such a heart as this"conformed unto"the law and will of God?
13204Is the evil removed by denying its existence?
13204Is the question, then, of the Jews, pressing upon your mind?
13204Is the sun black, because the eye is shut?
13204Is there not a wonderful power to_ convict_ of sin, in this test?
13204Is there not rain enough in the sweet heavens To wash it white as snow?
13204Is thine eye evil because I am good?"
13204Is this religious perfection?
13204Is this the_ original_ and_ necessary_ relation which law sustains to the will and affections of an accountable creature?
13204Is''t no worse for the wear?
13204It is not the highest expression of the religious feeling, when we say,"How can I do this great wickedness, and sin against my conscience?"
13204Killed by the law or letter, and made to see thy sins against it, and left in an helpless condition by the law?
13204Must the pure and holy law of God, from the very nature of things, be a weariness and a curse?
13204Must there not be an inveterate opposition and resistance in the_ heart_?
13204Nay, why is it that he finds it impossible fully to believe that Jehovah is a sin- pardoning God, unless he is enabled so to do by the Holy Ghost?
13204Never for a moment, in the endless cycles, can it look away from its Maker; for in His presence what other object is there to look at?
13204No, He''s forever in a smiling mood; He''s like themselves; or how could He be good?
13204Of what use would it have been to offer mercy, before the sense of its need had been elicited?
13204On the contrary, is he not excited to opposition by it?
13204On the contrary, should I not be the most wretched of mortals?
13204Or cloy the hungry edge of appetite, By bare imagination of a feast?
13204Or wallow naked in December snow, By thinking on fantastic summer heat?
13204Or, in other words:_ Why can not the ten commandments save a sinner_?
13204Or, is there anything in the performance of duty,--in the act of obeying law,--that is adapted to produce this result, by taking away guilt?
13204Ought not this state of things to be reversed?
13204Ought this guilty carnal enjoyment to be perpetuated through all eternity, under the government of a righteous and just God?
13204Our Lord, by his searching reply to the young ruler''s question,"What lack I yet?"
13204Received ye the Spirit, by the works of the law, or by the hearing of faith?
13204Return you me guilt, lethargy, despair?
13204Shall pleasures of a short duration chain A lady''s soul in everlasting pain?
13204Shall the ten commandments of Sinai, in any of their forms or uses, send a cooling and calming virtue through the hot conscience?
13204Should we not be more circumspect than we are, if men were able mutually to search each other''s hearts?
13204The great question that presses upon the human mind, from age to age, is the inquiry: Is God a merciful Being, and will He show mercy?
13204The instant he put the question: Will God_ punish_ me for my transgression?
13204The text leads us to inquire:_ Why can not the moral law make fallen man perfect_?
13204Think you that the deathbed and the day of judgment will prove this to be the fact?
13204Think you that there is nothing_ lacking_ in such a character as this?
13204Thou therefore which teachest another, teachest thou not thyself?
13204To whom, then, can such an one go but unto Him?
13204Was, then, that which is good made death unto this youth, by a_ Divine_ arrangement?
13204We grant that the temptations that assail him are very powerful; but are not some of the temptations that beset you and me very powerful?
13204What are the"good things"which Dives receives here, for which he must be"tormented"hereafter?
13204What can we do, in that day which shall reveal the thoughts and the estimates of the Holy One respecting us?
13204What can we say, in the day of reckoning, when the Searcher of hearts shall make known, to us all that He knows of us?
13204What does he know of the burden of sin?
13204What heathen will not need an atonement, for his failure to live up even to the light of nature?
13204What is the_ ground_ and_ reason_ of such an answer as this?
13204What pagan has ever realized the truths of natural conscience, in his inward character and his outward life?
13204What pagan is there in all the generations that will not be found guilty before the bar of natural religion?
13204What would our merciful Redeemer have us learn from this passage which He has caused to be recorded for our instruction?
13204What, then, is gained, by proposing another than the Biblical theory of human nature?
13204What, then, is the religion that is to be received?
13204When God teaches,"Where is the wise?
13204When the commandment"_ comes_,"loaded down with menace and damnation, does not sin"revive,"as the Apostle affirms?
13204When we look into our hearts, and find no holy reverence there, ought we not to be filled with shame and sorrow?
13204When, therefore, the young ruler''s question,"What lack I?"
13204Where then do you send me for the information, and the testimony?
13204Whereto serves mercy, But to confront the visage of offence?
13204Whither then shall we go from God''s spirit?
13204Who can feel himself amenable to a moral law, without at the same time thinking of its Author?
13204Who has ever realized these wishes and aspirations, in his heart and conduct?
13204Who is he that condemmeth?
13204Who is he that condemneth, when it is Christ that died, and God that justifies?
13204Who of the sons of men will prove pure in such a furnace?
13204Who of this class voluntarily makes himself unhappy, by thinking of subjects that are gloomy to his mind?
13204Who of us would not be filled with uneasiness, if he knew that an imperfect fellow- creature were looking constantly into his soul?
13204Who shall lay anything to God''s elect?
13204Why can he not be saved by the law of works?
13204Why do they not bring it into nominal Christendom, and apply it there?
13204Why does he not tell us that because this civilized man acts no better, therefore he knows no better?
13204Why does the drowning man instinctively ask for God''s mercy?
13204Why is he so summarily shut up to the law of faith?
13204Why is it, that when the character of Christ bows your intellect, it does not bend your will, and sway your affections?
13204Why is man invited to the method of faith in another, instead of the method of faith in himself?
13204Why is not his first spontaneous thought the true one?
13204Why is the commandment enunciated in the Scriptures, and why is the Christian ministry perpetually preaching it to men dead in trespasses and sins?
13204Why should he not obtain eternal life by resolutely proceeding to do his duty, and keeping the law of God?
13204Why should not you and I mourn over the total want of the image of God in our hearts, as much as over any other form and species of sin?
13204Why should they be weary and heavy- laden with a sense of their unworthiness before God, and you go through life indifferent and light- hearted?
13204Why should ye be stricken, any more?
13204Why, the very function and office- work of law, in all its forms, is to condemn and terrify the transgressor; how then can it calm and soothe him?
13204Why, then, does every man need these influences of the Holy Spirit which are so cordially offered in the text?
13204Will he say that the population that knew enough to build the pyramids did not know enough to break the law of God?
13204Will the great Author us poor worms destroy, For now and then a sip of transient joy?
13204Will the mere calling men good at heart, and by nature, make them such?
13204Will the objector really take the position and stand to it, that the pagan man is not a rational and responsible creature?
13204Wilt thou, then, not be afraid of the power?
13204With these kindling flashes in his guilt- stricken spirit, shall he run into the very identical fire that kindled them?
13204Would David have dared to say:"This is the work of God,--this is the saving act,--that ye believe in me?"
13204Would Paul have presumed to say to the anxious inquirer:"Your soul is safe, if you trust in me?"
13204Would he not feel, with a misery and a shame that could not be expressed, that he was naked?
13204Would not this self- knowledge be pure living torment?
13204Would you have the Almighty pay a bounty upon unrighteousness, and place goodness under eternal pains and penalties?
13204You who approve of the law of God as pure and perfect, why do you not conform your own heart and conduct to it?
13204You who know the character and claims of God, and are able to state them to another, why do you not revere and obey them in your own person?
13204[ 3] And do we not hear this theory repeated by the modern unbeliever?
13204[ Footnote 4: ANSELM: Cur Deus Homo?
13204all would be set second to the simple single inquiry:"Shall I think, shall I feel, shall I know?"
13204and how was this to be elicited, but by the solemn and authoritative enunciation of law and justice?
13204and what are the"evil things"which Lazarus receives in this world, for which he will be"comforted"in the world to come?
13204how can ye escape the damnation of hell?"
13204if he should plead it as an offset for having killed a man?
13204in the heart which can refuse submission to such high claims, when so distinctly seen?
13204of works?
13204or whither shall we flee from His presence and His knowledge?
13204ought he not then to be"comforted"in the bosom of Abraham, in the paradise of God?
13204rather than the question: Was he virtuous?]
13204that He who called Himself The Truth would employ a lie, either directly or indirectly, even to promote the spiritual welfare of men?
13204that because he neither fears nor loves the one only God, therefore he does not know that there is any such Being?
13204that he does not possess sufficient knowledge of moral truth, to justify his being brought to the bar of judgment?
13204that he was utterly unfit to appear in such a Presence?
13204thou must die, thou must be judged, thou must inhabit eternity?"
13204thou that abhorrest idols, dost thou commit sacrilege?
13204thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonored thou God?"
13204thou that makest thy boast of the law, through breaking the law dishonorest thou God?"
13204thou that makest thy boast of the law, through, breaking the law dishonorest thou God?"
13204thou that preachest a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
13204thou that preachest that a man should not steal, dost thou steal?
13204thou that preachest that a man should not steal, dost thou steal?"
13204thou that sayest a man should not commit adultery, dost thou commit adultery?
13204to a being who is not conformed to it?
13204where is the disputer of this world?"
13204where is the scribe?
13204where were the arguments?
13204where were the theories?
13204who shall deliver me?
13204why do you not by your character and conduct prove the claim to be a valid one?"
59041And one of them, a doctor of the law, asked him, tempting him: Master, which is the great commandment of the law? 59041 Do you ever get drunk?"
59041O my Divine Spouse,she said,"Where wast thou when I was enduring these conflicts?"
59041What does faith bring thee to?
59041What is it?
59041What, with all these filthy abominations?
59041What,says the father of a family,"give my whole soul and mind to God?
59041_ Know you not that they who run in the race all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize? 59041 _ Lord, is it I?_"No, John.
59041_ Lord, is it I?_No, Thomas.
59041_ Lord, is it I?_Thou hast said it, Judas.
59041_ What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?_Will you sin against your own soul?
59041_ What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?_Will you sin against your own soul?

59041''Why do I stand here idle?
59041( Did I not say that the widow was right-- that they are heartless and unfeeling?)
59041And after all might not this vision be a delusion?
59041And if the soul is so beautiful in the little rays that escape from the body, what must it be in itself?
59041And that precious soul of yours, before which all the wealth of the world is but worthless dross-- with what care have you kept that?
59041And why?
59041And would you attribute conduct so disgraceful among men to our Father in heaven?
59041And, besides, who can draw the lineaments of that great Apostle, or paint him in colors worthy of his character?
59041And, if we then sin against God, in what respect are we better than Judas?
59041Are the earth and sky all wrapped in a great, gloomy mantle of grief?
59041Are the tares rooted up in this world?
59041Are there none of you, my brethren, who recognize this as the secret language of your hearts?
59041Are we as much in earnest to guard against a fall?
59041Are we bound to shut our ears to the murmuring winds, the music of the rivulet, and the songs of the birds?
59041Are we thus determined to win?
59041Are you leading a tepid, imperfect life?
59041At the Easter Communion, where are you?
59041At times in the height of that fever your mind wanders: you do not know her,_ her!_ your own dear mother?
59041But as for you, young man, why have you presumed to come to the altar?
59041But do you think we have none of the charity of the Angels?
59041But how can they know any thing of a star so unusual in its appearance as this?
59041But is it enough just barely to fulfil the commandment in this way?
59041But is it not necessary to go to Communion?
59041But of what use is Holy Scripture to us without Her interpretation, whose office it is to interpret, as it has been to preserve it?
59041But suppose these evil temptations are importunate, and remain in the soul even when we resist them, and try to turn from them?
59041But what am I saying?
59041But what does God say of such as these?
59041But what does an unworthy communion do?
59041But what have you to say for yourself, O adulterer, and adulteress?
59041But what have you to say for yourself, O drunkard?
59041But you will say, if this be true, does it not tend to cherish in us a spirit of self- sufficiency, and of independence of God?
59041Can it be a friendly ship coming to your rescue?
59041Can it not fill the soul as much as any other?
59041Can literature be devoted to more worthy ends than to make those virtues attractive which religion commands?
59041Can not the motive of God''s love do as much?
59041Can science find a greater sphere than to show how all things are, and move, and exist in their primal cause, God?
59041Can these fretful souls of ours find rest even upon earth?
59041Can they sympathize with us, while they believe us to be corrupted by it?
59041Can we find it, then, even short of Purgatory?
59041Can you imagine a dependence which is more pure than ours is upon God?
59041Can you not easily imagine that every stroke she heard given against her prison walls, must have sent a thrill of joy through her whole frame?
59041Can you, indeed?
59041Commenting on this passage of Holy Scripture, St. John Chrysostom asks:"Wherefore did God make the lilies so beautiful?
59041Could they cease to hate our religion, while they believe it to be false?
59041Could we claim as manfully to have fought a good fight?
59041Could we claim our reward as confidently?
59041Could we say as much, my brethren, if our time were come?
59041Did I not say well then, when I expressed my fear that God would find but few who would accept his terms?
59041Did any Priest ever preach to the contrary?
59041Did he create the world, or make you?
59041Did not our Lord love his Mother?
59041Did these things really happen?
59041Did they not feel them?
59041Did you ever know a man of this stamp to become Catholic?
59041Did you ever know one of these"liberal fellows,"so called, to be come Catholic?
59041Do n''t say: how little can I do and get off with it?
59041Do n''t you see, the very definition of mortal sin, is a sin that grievously offends God and brings with it the death of the soul?
59041Do not they estimate themselves by the light of faith?
59041Do the birds sing no more?
59041Do they aim by the creations of their genius to raise less gifted minds to gaze upon the archetype of all beauty, truth, and goodness?
59041Do they strive so to embody what is noblest and best in man''s nature as to captivate his imagination, and enkindle an enthusiasm for its imitation?
59041Do we see artists who are conscious of the great purposes of their noble vocation?
59041Do you ask me what has been done for your souls?
59041Do you ask me what has been done for your souls?
59041Do you ask what has been done for your souls?
59041Do you believe Him?
59041Do you belong to the party of Jesus Christ or that of the devil?
59041Do you feel in yourselves a vocation to a religious or sacerdotal life?
59041Do you judge of a man as you do of a horse or a dog?
59041Do you not see, said the devil, that crucifix?
59041Does he seek these by legitimate means?
59041Does it not lie in your memory in all the blackness and barrenness of a western prairie, over which the desolating fire of the savage has passed?
59041Does the Church teach any such thing?
59041For is it not a joy to follow where our heart''s desires lead?
59041For what prison walls are so strong as the tyranny of passion over the soul?
59041For what, after all, are created things, or the members of a man''s body, or even his life, compared with the eternal salvation of his soul?
59041For what?
59041From the Church?
59041Has He no chastisement for the wicked, no sympathy for the good?
59041Has he conferred any benefit on the human race, that he is entitled to the gratitude and obedience of men?
59041Has heaven no favors for her?
59041Has she clung to her faith so long in vain, amid poverty, oppression and bloodshed?
59041Have not beauty, knowledge, and genius one and the same fountain source with religion?
59041Have you ever seen two strong men wrestling?
59041Have you kept it as your most sacred treasure?
59041Have you not committed mortal sin, and then given as an excuse that you were tempted by the devil, or overcome by your passions?
59041Have you not over looked and undervalued your treasure?
59041Have you not sometimes been tempted to exclaim:"Has God forgotten Ireland?
59041Have you valued that soul of yours?
59041Heathens?
59041How can I do it?
59041How can you expect light when you close your eyes?
59041How did the Blessed Virgin arrive at such glory?
59041How have you conducted yourself in temptation?
59041How many sermons have you not heard upon that awful subject?
59041How often has God not called us, either from some path of sin which we were following, or to a closer union with Himself?
59041How so?
59041How was it St. Paul attracted so many to Christ?
59041How was it with our blessed Lord?
59041How will it be in heaven?
59041How will the truths of the Gospel reach your heart and make an impression there, if you never listen to them?
59041I have been offering peace to such as lead a Christian life; but what does Holy Scripture say of you?
59041I say, then, excite this desire; think, and think every day, on these simple things: Who am I?
59041I.--_What is Communion?_ It is the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ, given to us as food for the sanctification of our souls and bodies.
59041II.--_What then is it to receive this Holy Communion unworthily?_ It is to be grievously wanting in reverence to the holiest of all holy things.
59041If a man abstains from eating meat, why not let him, if he likes, eat fish?
59041If another fancies he will improve by scourging himself, why not let him whip his body?
59041If another is bent on practising entire abstinence, why not allow him to fast?
59041If another seeks the desert, or ensconces himself in a cave, what commandment does he break?
59041If another takes the notion to shave his crown and walk with uncovered feet, wherein is he to be blamed?
59041If she had not believed, if she had not assented, what would have come of it?
59041If you can be chaste in the presence of a virtuous female, why can you not be chaste everywhere?
59041If you can be honest when the eye of man is on you, why can you not be honest when no eye sees you but that of God?
59041In the first place, what does he mean by the love of God?
59041In the language of Holy Scripture we say,"_ In the morning, who will grant me evening?
59041In this miserable world there is no such thing as tranquillity or peace, and how, without these, can the whole heart be given to God?"
59041In what consists the beauty of a man?
59041Is any hope held out in Scripture for the victims of such delusions?
59041Is he not then a usurper?
59041Is it I?_ No, my good man.
59041Is it a mere regularity of form and feature?
59041Is it always night?
59041Is it asking much, that we shall be habitually obedient?
59041Is it for Him to be dependent upon our moods and humors, finding us true to- day and false to- morrow?
59041Is it not as great?
59041Is it now safe and secure?
59041Is it possible that any fear of death, any doubt of his salvation could cloud the spirit of such a man in the closing scene of his career?
59041Is it the visible world, called nature, so full of instruction and rich in beauty, that we are to turn our backs upon?
59041Is it true?
59041Is it with this terrible earnestness you struggle to work out your salvation, or do you make a pastime of it?
59041Is it, then, possible to wear a constant smile in this valley of tears?
59041Is not this to be indeed dead?
59041Is she called a"Mediatrix of Prayer?"
59041Is she called the"Daughter of the Most High?"
59041Is she called the"Morning Star?"
59041Is she called"The Spouse of God?"
59041Is the camp of Jesus Christ less holy, think you, that an impure man or woman can be tolerated within its sacred precincts?
59041Is the world all dead?
59041Is there not an impression in your minds that the law of God is too strict?
59041Is this not a great boon?
59041Is this the earnest way we follow out our vocation?
59041My brave and vaunting Christian warrior, how do your professions of fidelity and courage comport with your conduct when put on guard at night?
59041No; says the Apostle Paul,"_ Christ died for all._"And why?
59041No?
59041Now if she did not merit heaven by becoming the Mother of God, how did she merit it?
59041Now what does He ask of you in return for all this?
59041Now what was it all about?
59041Now why was this?
59041Now will you tell me that you can not help doing what the martyrs would not do to save them from death?
59041Now, how is it with us?
59041Now, if you can stop cursing before the priest, why can you not before your wife and children?
59041Now, what are we doing?
59041Now, what holy lesson shall we try to learn from it?
59041Now, what is to be done?
59041Now, where is the man in Europe, who has so much care and anxiety upon him as he has?
59041Of what use to him was his power of motion?
59041Our Lord said to Judas,"_ Friend, why hast thou come?
59041Peace, did I say?
59041Shall I, she says, reject the very things I have longed for, the opportunities of making rapid progress in the love of God?
59041Shall these accidental and artificial barriers survive death?
59041Shall this always be so?
59041Shall we stand here like cowards, hugging the ignominious chains of mortal sin?
59041She sees the angels; but to the questions:"_ Woman, why weepest thou?
59041She was so bound up in you, that she often exclaimed with a truth,"Why do I live if it be not for my child?"
59041So, I ask you, who are you?
59041Suppose you saw a girl in service, scrubbing the floor with a beautiful camel''s- hair shawl, what would you say?
59041Teach your heart to throb in sympathy with his, until you can say with St. Paul:"_ Who is weak, and I am not weak?
59041Tell me, my brethren, is this your idea of the Christian warfare?
59041That''s what the Lord himself said to the young man who asked the question:"What shall I do that I may have everlasting life?"
59041The Lawyer asked Him,"_ What shall I do to possess eternal life?_"The Saviour said,"_ What is written in the law?
59041The Lawyer asked Him,"_ What shall I do to possess eternal life?_"The Saviour said,"_ What is written in the law?
59041The pledge will not help him long; and why?
59041The very first word addressed you by her, was in your baptism, when you were asked:"What dost thou ask of the Church of God?"
59041Then he will say to these:"I am your Lord and Master, why have you not obeyed me?"
59041They are class- mates, or even room- mates, for years, but look at them after the lapse of twenty years, and what are their respective positions?
59041They died rather than lift a hand to do a forbidden thing; have you not the same power over your hand that they had?
59041They died rather than utter a sinful word; have you not as much power over your tongue as they?
59041This is the war in which every one of you is engaged, on one side or the other?
59041Thus, Mary is called"Queen of Heaven;"but are not all the blessed called in Holy Scripture,"_ kings and priests unto God_?"
59041To establish its true meaning, let us ask ourselves first of all, what is a true Christian life?
59041Under what banner have you till now been ranged?
59041Under what figure is the Church of God represented in Scripture?
59041Very well; but how were they required to deny Christ?
59041Was He not disposed to be obedient to her as his mother?
59041Was it from the Church of God?
59041Was it the world of art, science, and literature?
59041Well then, asks one, why not exclude them from the Church altogether, so that the whole world can see what they are?
59041What Apostles, Doctors of the Church, Pontiffs, Priests, or Laymen, that ever wrote on the matter, ever broached such an idea?
59041What are our obligations to give testimony of Christ?
59041What are the signs, my brethren, by which you would pronounce a man dead?

59041What can be more just?

59041What does St. Paul say?
59041What does holy king David say?
59041What does that mean?

59041What is it?
59041What is meant by merit?
59041What is said of these bad ones?
59041What is that pile of bank- notes pilfered from your employer, you dishonest clerk?
59041What is that which is glimmering white like a sail upon the waves?
59041What is the answer?
59041What is the event that can interrupt the great harmonies of Heaven, and furnish the Angels with a new song?
59041What is the idea that we have of a kingdom?
59041What is the invariable testimony, both of Protestants and of Catholics, as to the manner of his receiving them?
59041What is the love of God, or in what does it consist?
59041What is the meaning, then, of loving with one''s whole heart and soul and mind?
59041What is the reason that Christian art has so far surpassed heathen art?
59041What is the reason that every thing thus honors you?
59041What is the world and all in it, compared to the love of God?
59041What is there criminal in these actions, that there should be displayed so much spleen against those who live in this way?
59041What is this method?
59041What master is this, to whom you have sold yourself?
59041What means do we employ to subjugate our bodies, or was St. Paul less safe than we?
59041What millions of dollars are being expended on the Central Park here just beside us?
59041What old age can compare with eternity?
59041What opportunity, what golden opportunity offers, to do something to please God?
59041What right had you to refuse my service?
59041What right has he to reign in this world?
59041What right has he to your soul, or to your service?
59041What saith the Apostle?
59041What shall I do?
59041What shall I say in conclusion, dear brethren, to spur you on to do good works?
59041What should they do?
59041What was it then?
59041What was it they were required to do?
59041What would you have?
59041What''s to be done to get rid of it?
59041What, she says, shall I barter away so immense a good for such trifles?
59041What, then, is that badge, what are those insignia you are wearing?
59041When may one be said to fulfil it in the first way?
59041When you see a person put a thing to an improper use, what do you say?
59041Whence do they spring?
59041Where are those thirty pieces of silver for which you sold your soul?
59041Where are you during the holy solemnity of the Mass?
59041Where did such a notion come from?
59041Where did this notion come from?
59041Where did you get the notion that it''s enough to be a Catholic without being a practical one?
59041Where is her heart, does it beat no more?
59041Where shall we be?
59041Where your good works?
59041Where your merit?
59041Where, I ask, shall our place be in this hierarchy?
59041Where, then, is there room for presumption in such teaching as this?
59041Which side is it?
59041Which, then, do you take?
59041Who are addressed?
59041Who are they who fail to give this testimony of Christ?
59041Who can believe that?
59041Who can recount the calamities which from year to year have fallen upon the children of the faith?
59041Who is God?
59041Who says it?
59041Why did these last give such a different account from the first?
59041Why do summer and winter, seed- time and harvest, return so regularly?
59041Why does He not take part with his own, and make them prosper most?"
59041Why does not God give victory always to the just cause?"
59041Why does that sound send a shuddering thrill of horror through every nerve?
59041Why is the whole matter hushed up by common consent between Pilate and Caiphas?
59041Why not?
59041Why should we fear?
59041Why stand we all the day idle?
59041Why tarry we here in the bondage of Egypt?
59041Why then, do they commit it?
59041Why was no search made for the body of Jesus, and for his disciples?
59041Why was no trial held?
59041Why were not these soldiers examined before a tribunal?
59041Why, what do we mean when we speak of mortal sin?
59041Why, who are you, my brethren?
59041Why?
59041Will Jesus arrest the steps of that infamous woman, of those debased, pitiless, heartless, unfeeling dram- sellers?
59041Will he touch the bier upon which you are stretched stark dead, and command those companions of yours in sin to stop?
59041Will that voice of Jesus Christ be heard?
59041Will the Lord be moved to pity toward his weeping Church?
59041Will you have Christ or Lucifer for your king?
59041Will you say that the grapes are not really fine flavored, but only called so because they belong to an excellent vine?
59041Will you venture to deprive yourselves of that food of which, unless ye eat, the Saviour has said:"_ Ye have no life in you?_"Oh!
59041Would we be something in the kingdom of God?
59041Would we become strong in faith, great in hope, abounding in charity?
59041Would you be saved by the sufferings of Christ, and refuse to take your share of suffering?
59041Would you know who they are?
59041Would you ride thither at your ease?
59041Would you wear your crown without winning it?
59041You are a Christian soldier, are you?
59041You profess yourself so loudly a Christian soldier, what then are you straggling for, behind your column?
59041You promised in confession that you would restore them, but why?
59041You would not expect that I should urge this"Interior Life"upon you, and remain myself as I am?
59041You, O adulterer; you found a home where there were smiles, and fondness, and peace; and what have you done?
59041[ Footnote 56] and that"_ all things serve Him?_"[ Footnote 57][ Footnote 56: Psalm cxliv., 13.]
59041_ Father, is it I?_ No, poor fellow.
59041_ Father, is it I?_ No, poor girl.
59041_ Is it I?
59041and are not we too called the"_ Sons of God?_"[ Footnote 99][ Footnote 99: 1 St. John iii., 2.]
59041and are not we too promised a place at his right hand, and to"_ sit on thrones?_"[ Footnote 95][ Footnote 95: Apoc.
59041and at evening, who will grant me morning?_"[ Footnote 146] as though things were turning out very different from what we had a right to expect.
59041and does not the Almighty, addressing every faithful soul, say,"_ My love, my dove, my undefiled?_"[ Footnote 98][ Footnote 98: Can.
59041and in the second, what degree of this love must we practise?
59041and is it not said of every just man, that his"_ continual prayer availeth much?_"[ Footnote 97][ Footnote 97: St. James v., 16.]
59041and who are my brethren?
59041brethren, do not say with the murderer Cain:"_ Am I my brother''s keeper?_"What have I to do with the sanctification or ruin of souls?
59041brethren, do not say with the murderer Cain:"_ Am I my brother''s keeper?_"What have I to do with the sanctification or ruin of souls?
59041but, how much can I do?
59041exclaims St. Augustine,"you will prove your cause by sleeping witnesses?"
59041have these ministers of Satan persuaded you to renounce your lawful standard, and enlist under that of the devil?
59041or at least that it is too strict for you, and that you can not keep it?
59041that any thing so bright?
59041the Madonna so far more beautiful than the Venus de Medicis?
59041to have renounced your allegiance to your rightful Lord, for the service of such a master, who trembles at the very name of Jesus Christ?
59041what can it be?
59041what can it mean?
59041what shall we do?"
59041where was the Angel of the Blessed Sacrament then?
59041where, I ask, was the Angel of the Blessed Sacrament?
59041who is scandalized, and I do not burn?_"This is to love our Lord in earnest.
59041who will tell us something about it?
59041whom seekest thou?_"she answers distractedly,"_ They have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him_."
59041why have we not all this spirit?
59041wretched man that I am!_"was his mournful cry,"_ who shall deliver me from this body of death?_"For this reason he scourged himself.
59041you say, is that all that is required of us to insure our salvation-- to keep clear of mortal sin?
59041{ 137} You are a soldier of Jesus Christ, are you?
59041{ 153} How is it, my dear brethren, with us on the way of life?
59041{ 167} Where then is the world which, as Christians, we are called upon to separate from?
59041{ 179} And perhaps, seeing this, the thought arises in your mind:"Does not God take notice of these things?
59041{ 193} To whom is that addressed?
59041{ 206} Who is there that needs to be told that the Blessed Virgin is splendid in sanctity, dazzling in beauty, and exalted in power?
59041{ 214} Is she said to sit at the"King''s right hand?"
59041{ 216} or, later in life, a poor young woman thrust away, with her husband, from a crowded inn, or fleeing by night with an infant child?
59041{ 220} Are you in sin?
59041{ 22}"_ Who is weak,_"said he,"_ and I am not weak?
59041{ 243} Did you ever know, my brethren, that God had been so good to you?
59041{ 249} Now, how shall we account for such fortitude as this?
59041{ 258} But how is it with those who are_ spiritually_ proud?
59041{ 269} Are we then, my brethren, anxiously desirous of saving our souls?
59041{ 278} Now, what is more desirable than God?
59041{ 302} Why does the sun rise in the morning, and go down at night?
59041{ 304} Do you ask what has been done for your souls?
59041{ 306} Have you, my brethren, so regarded yourselves?
59041{ 30} Now why would you say this?
59041{ 328} How is it with a large body of students at one of our colleges or universities?
59041{ 329} Where can you find the trace of any real care of your souls?
59041{ 336} Did not Christ look upon mankind with human eyes, and make all our human feelings his own?
59041{ 341} What language can express the gratitude which filled her heart toward her deliverers?
59041{ 34} Now, then, I think I hear you say to me: Father, have I then done this horrible thing?
59041{ 36} And you, O adulteress, why have you come here?
59041{ 74} And when one of the servants said to the master:"_ Wilt thou that we go to gather it up?
59041{ 98} But what degree of this love must we exercise in order to obtain everlasting life?
37794Can two walk together except they be agreed?
37794Do I truly love the Lord Jesus? 37794 Does your Excellency never forgive?"
37794Earnestly contend?
37794How prospers the fight?
37794How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation?
37794I am to depart, you to remain; but which shall have the happier lot, who can tell?
37794I did not ask after my sons,replied the patriotic woman,"but how prospers the fight?"
37794If these things are done in the green tree, what shall not be done in the dry?
37794Is Ephraim my dear son? 37794 Is it not welded to the alloy?"
37794Know ye not,he writes to the Corinthians,"that they who run in a race run all, but one receiveth the prize?
37794Knowledge is power;but what knowledge is so mighty as that which Christ brought from the bosom of the Father?
37794Lord, what wait I for? 37794 Shall I hide from Abraham,"said Jehovah,"the thing that I do?"
37794Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?
37794The Lord hath spoken; who can but prophesy?
37794The spirit of a man will sustain his infirmity; but a wounded spirit who can bear?
37794This is a hard saying; who can hear it?
37794What are a million of human lives,said the great Napoleon,"to the scheme of a man like me?"
37794What son is he whom the father chasteneth not?
37794What wilt thou do with them, dear Jesus?
37794Who can tell how oft he offendeth?
37794Who hath hardened himself against the Lord and prospered?
37794Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God''s elect? 37794 Who was he?
37794Why doth a living man complain, a man for the punishment of his sin?
37794Would you obtain a prize in the Olympic games?
37794All are his; and shall he not do what he will with his own?
37794Am I his, or am I not?"
37794Am I saying what sounds strange to you, if not absurd and preposterous?
37794Among all the myriads of Adam''s children, what one quality was there worthy of his love?
37794And can you be so selfish as to forget all griefs but your own?
37794And can you hope for exemption?
37794And did he not pray for his little flock, that they might love one another as he had loved them?
37794And do we not need such assurance?
37794And does not his most loving apostle plainly tell us that this is the proof of our having passed from death to life?
37794And hath the Master abandoned those who are obeying the mandate and perpetuating the sacred succession?
37794And how had the apostle attained to such experience?
37794And how receive we the message and respond to the demand?
37794And how shall we pray successfully, if we answer not our own prayers by pouring our offerings into the Lord''s treasury?
37794And if correct, is not Robert Hall''s remark equally true-- that"indulgent parents are cruel to their children and to posterity"?
37794And if he, why not we?
37794And in these instances, is it not likely that we are deceived often by appearances?
37794And is there any guilt or misery from which the Mighty to save can not deliver the soul that trusts in him?
37794And its any thing short of infinite mercy adequate to the forgiveness of such a debt?
37794And shall the Christian conceal his faith or suppress his convictions to please those who hate the light because their deeds are evil?
37794And to be content-- is it not, after all, the best way to be well supplied?
37794And to whom, or how many, is the crown to be given?
37794And we, my brethren-- shall we not take warning from the fate of the unfaithful people?
37794And what avails your discontent?
37794And what can the end be but a blasting malediction from the Master?
37794And what reason for discontent have we, that this noble hero had not?
37794And what saith the apostle?
37794And what, to such a prize, are all the splendors of royalty, with all the magnificent pageantry and subsequent privileges of an Olympian triumph?
37794And when his loving heart broke beneath the burden of its anguish, think you he ceased to grieve for a guilty and ungrateful world?
37794And when the divine Heart- searcher calls him to judgment, what answer can he make to the dread animadversions of the angry king?
37794And who ever matched him in beneficence and bounty?
37794And who shall blame this longing for rest, this sighing for home, this desire of a better country?
37794And why did Ignatius chant so cheerfully among the lions, and Polycarp pour forth his thanksgiving so joyfully as he stood unbound in the flames?
37794And will you not ask and receive, that your joy may be full?
37794And you, have you not infinitely more ground for gratitude than for grumbling?
37794And"if God be for us, who can be against us?"
37794And, failing in this, where is the proof of your love to him who laid down his life for us all?
37794Are his commandments grievous to you, or do you find his yoke easy and his burden light?
37794Are not the redeemed of his dear Son his jewels, his_ segulla_, his peculiar treasure?
37794Are not those who occupy our pulpits the accredited ambassadors of Christ?
37794Are these achievements to be wrought without the Master''s presence?
37794Are these victories to be won without the Captain of our salvation?
37794Are those that remain worth nothing to you because others have been removed?
37794Are weapons used to gain freedom?
37794Are you afraid of the opinions or the speeches of others?
37794Are you not ready to take up your cross, and follow him to Calvary?
37794Are you satisfied with the proof?
37794As with a sword in his bones, they reproached him; saying continually,"Where is now thy God?"
37794Ask him now the question he has often asked with a sneer--"Is there a hell, and where is it?"
37794Ask the world,"What think ye of Christ?"
37794At peace with heaven and earth, what has he to fear from either?
37794But are we not in danger of overlooking what is much more essential to our prosperity?
37794But how shall he pay it in prison?
37794But in what slave- mart of the universe shall God sell the sinner?
37794But is he willing to cut down the worthless tree, or blast it with his curse?
37794But is love to Christ indeed so common?
37794But is not this practically the language of the believer who sinks into a state of despondency under providential bereavements?
37794But is not this the relation of all men?
37794But is there not something still better, which ought to be an element in every process of human education?
37794But there is something, see you not?
37794But where are the forms and colors to rival those with which we are adorning the new Jerusalem?
37794But who can calculate the consequences?
37794But why dwell on this dismal theme?
37794But why should faith be thus tested?
37794Can all your anxiety change the color of a hair, or add a moment to your little all of life?
37794Can any who hear him ever forget those gracious utterances?
37794Can those who love the Saviour ever forget him?
37794Can we alter the facts, undo the deeds, repair the wrongs, recall the time, or efface the record?
37794Can we survey the valley of vision, and not prophesy to all the winds of God?
37794Can you appeal to him in the language of the psalmist--"Lord, I have loved the habitation of thy house, and the place where thine honor dwelleth"?
37794Can you not trust him who, in the power of an endless life, has established his throne in your hearts?
37794Can you not trust the bounty of your King, the affection of your Father?
37794Can you say with the psalmist--"The desire of our soul is unto thy name, and to the remembrance of thee"?
37794Christ hath commanded us to proselyte all nations; shall we be recreant to our responsibility?
37794Christ is the love of God incarnate in our nature; and where shall the loving John find rest, but in the bosom of the Eternal Love?
37794Come and analyze the water, and discuss its qualities, and speculate about its probable effects?
37794Come and explore?
37794Come and investigate?
37794Come and see?
37794Come and what?
37794Coming boldly through his merit and mediation to the throne of grace, shall we not certainly obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need?
37794Could any mere mortal have spoken so?
37794Could there be a more unlovely contrast to the conduct of the king?
37794Dear Reader: In the preface to Pauline Charity, did not the writer promise thee that volume should be his last?
37794Do men light a candle to put it under a bushel or a bed?
37794Do not the anxious thought and the longing to know indicate at least some small degree of love?
37794Do they generally accord to him his claims, practically observe his requirements, and devote all their energies to his service?
37794Do you delight to converse with those who delight to converse with Christ and to converse with you about him?
37794Do you esteem his service a hard bondage, or the blessed freedom of the sons of God?
37794Do you joyfully listen to the messages of his grace, and read with pleasure the epistles of his love?
37794Do you love to speak with Christ in prayer?
37794Do you meditate sweetly of him in the night- watches?
37794Do you prefer their society to that of the world?
37794Do you think often of Jesus, and dwell with delight upon his love?
37794Does he mock them with an invitation which is insincere?
37794Does it perish in the process?
37794Does not God know what is best for you, and will he alter his wise and gracious economy to gratify your foolish and capricious desires?
37794Does not St. Paul tell us that as many as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ?
37794Does not religion favor the most thorough mental discipline and contribute to the harmonious development of all the spiritual powers?
37794Does not the repetition seem to imply a danger of mistake and self- deception?
37794Does the sun refuse to shine lest he should offend the bat or blind the owl?
37794Earnestly contend?
37794Even if he offer no plea, can you be utterly indifferent to his grief?
37794Every thing else tested, why not Christian character?
37794For, what is Christian character?
37794Had Jesus deemed it a question of little consequence, think you he would have put it thrice in so searching a manner to St. Peter?
37794Had Jesus desired to limit his salvation to a few unconditionally elected favorites, would he not have restricted the invitation?
37794Had he remained indifferent to our helpless woes in the heavenly mansions, who could have impeached one of his perfections?
37794Hard sayings are these to ears like yours?
37794Has he not shut you, like Noah, into the ark of your salvation?
37794Has our penitential humiliation been real and effectual, or only feigned and perfunctory?
37794Have these thirty- six days in the holy mount deepened our communion with God and intensified our love of holiness?
37794Have we borne fruit, or only leaves?
37794Have we no loving compassions for them, no desire to rescue and save their souls alive?
37794Have we not to- day the same gospel preached to us?
37794Have we such hope?
37794Have you never said with David--"I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; rivers of waters run down mine eyes because they keep not thy law"?
37794Have you no sympathy, then, with the Prince of sufferers?
37794He hath afflicted you, perhaps, on purpose to draw you to himself; and will you thus defeat the designs of his mercy?
37794He is now challenging your affection, as Delilah challenged that of Samson:"How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me?"
37794His better days what human art shall depict or finite mind conceive?
37794His wife, the last on earth that ought to have been unkind to him, assailed him with bitter mockery; saying,"Dost thou still retain thine integrity?
37794How can you love Christ, and not love Christians?
37794How is it with you, dear brethren?
37794How is it with you?
37794How long halt you?
37794How much worldly good is necessary for any of us?
37794How shall we meet the reckoning?
37794How, then, can the transgressor hope to pay the new and additional debt which he has incurred by innumerable crimes?
37794How, without him, can we bear to live or dare to die?
37794I have heard some honest Christians sing:"''Tis a point I long to know; Oft it causes anxious thought; Do I love the Lord or no?
37794If David had such consciousness of sin, what must our consciousness be if we knew ourselves as well?
37794If not, how can it be said that you love them as you love yourself?
37794If not, how can you say,"We love him because he first loved us"?
37794If we have no sense of the stroke, how shall we submit to the hand that smites us?
37794If you love the Father, will you not love his children?
37794If you love the Master, will you not love his servants?
37794In all the eternity to come, what satisfaction can we offer for our faults?

37794Is not Christianity pre- eminently the religion of peace and love?
37794Is not David''s rock your rock, your fortress, your high tower, and unfailing city of refuge?
37794Is not every attribute of Jehovah in league with the devout believer, and all his infinite resources pledged to the support of his servants?
37794Is not the gospel platform broad enough to afford room for all?

37794Merely an intellectual animal?

37794Nay, do not many of us despise our own mercy, and reject the gracious counsel of God, not knowing the day of our visitation?
37794Nay, what idea can we form of the natural body developing into the spiritual, and all its rudimental powers unfolding in their perfection?
37794No such bond, what becomes of the Church, and what assurance has she of an eternal inheritance?
37794No such memorial, where is the recognized bond, connecting the body on earth to its glorified Head in heaven?

37794With a few exceptions of unbelief so blasphemous as to shock ordinary irreligion, are all men truly his friends?
37794With hearty faith, and grateful tears, and earnest obedience?

14139After death seizes upon that soul, is there no resurrection?
14139And can it be possible that our eternity is dependent upon the healthy action of that which can be so easily destroyed?
14139And the soul will cry:"Is this forever?"
14139And then, when the bread is passed around, they taste of it skeptically and inquiringly, as much as to say:"Is it bread?

14139Ay, are you not ready to pass over into the first division, and become the pardoned sons and daughters of the Lord Almighty?
14139Because their own personal expenses are lavish?
14139Because they are avaricious?

14139For fun?
14139For what are you taking it?
14139From what land did you come?
14139Furthermore, let me ask why a chance should be given in the next world if we have refused innumerable chances in this?
14139Give us another chance"?
14139Great God, is life such an uncertain thing?

14139How are these evils to be eradicated?
14139How can a man stand in the pulpit and preach on the subject of temperance when he is indulging such a habit as that?
14139How could you do so?
14139How dare the Christian Church ever get discouraged?
14139How darest thou sleep in harvest- time and with so few hours in which to reap?
14139How do I know it?
14139How do you feel toward that spiritual fraud, turpitude and perfidy?
14139How long did it take God to slay the hosts of Sennacherib or burn Sodom or shake down Jericho?
14139How long have you, my brother, lived unforgiven?
14139How long will it take God, when He once arises in His strength, to overthrow all the forces of iniquity?
14139How much robustness of health would a man have if he hid himself in a dark closet?
14139How shall it be taken?
14139How shall this great multitude be supplied?
14139How then?
14139I can not help now, while preaching, asking myself the question-- Am I ready for that?
14139I do not blame you for asking me the quivering, throbbing, burning, resounding, appalling question of my text,"Wherefore do the wicked live?"
14139I go a little further on the same road and meet a trumpeter of heaven, and I say:"Have n''t you got some music for a tired pilgrim?"
14139I said to one of the intelligent men of Ireland:"Tell me in a few words what are the sufferings of Ireland, and what is the Land Relief enactment?"
14139I see a man rising in that great crowd and asking:"Is there any one here who has bread or meat?"
14139I start out on this King''s highway, and I find a harper, and I say:"What is your name?"
14139I wonder what proportion of this audience will be saved?
14139If I bear a little too hard with my right foot on the earth, does it break through into the grave?
14139If a man topples off the edge of life, is there nothing to break his fall?
14139If a woman asks a dollar for her work, does not her female employer ask her if she will not take ninety cents?
14139If an impenitent man goes overboard, are there no grappling- hooks to hoist him into safety?
14139If anything is purchased and paid for, ought not the goods to be delivered?
14139If you are on the right side, to what cavalry troop, to what artillery service, to what garrison duty do you belong?
14139If you have bought property and given the money, do you not want to come into possession of it?
14139If, then, we are to be compelled to go out of this world, where are we to go to?
14139In other words, in what Sabbath- school do you teach?
14139Is it I?"
14139Is it all true?
14139Is it not fair that you love Him?
14139Is it not imperative that you love Him?
14139Is it not right that you love Him?
14139Is it possible that a man or woman sworn to be a follower of the Lord Jesus Christ is doing nothing?
14139Is it to frighten your soul?
14139Is it to help him back to a moral and spiritual life?
14139Is not that plain?
14139Is that so?
14139Is that the kind of society that reforms a man and prepares him for heaven?
14139Is there a God?
14139Is there a divergence now between the parlor and the kitchen?
14139Is there enough muscle in your arm for such a combat?
14139Is there no help?
14139Is there no way out?"
14139Is there not an old Book somewhere that commands us to go out into the highways and the hedges and compel the people to come in?
14139Is this a mere statement of a preacher whose business it is to talk morals, or is the testimony of the world just as emphatic?
14139Is this plea all in vain?
14139Is this world, which swings at the speed of thousands of miles an hour around the sun, going with tenfold more speed toward the judgment- day?
14139Lend you a shilling?
14139Lovely?
14139Messages that say:"When are you coming home to see us?
14139Must He take another darling child from your household?
14139Must He take another installment from your worldly estate?
14139Must I meet you there, oh, you dying but immortal auditory?
14139Must life come upon you with sorrow after sorrow, and smite you down with sickness before you will be moved, and before you will feel?
14139My friends, my neighbors, what can I say to induce you to attend to this matter-- to attend to it now?
14139My little child, seven years of age, said to her mother one day,"Why do n''t God kill the devil at once, and have done with it?"
14139Need I tell a cultured audience like this that there is no other name given among men by which ye can be saved?
14139Now what is the use of my discussing it any more?
14139Now, where is this to begin?
14139Oh, impenitent soul, have you ever tried the power of prayer?
14139Oh, man and woman, have you not learned that like vultures, like hawks, like eagles, riches have wings and fly away?
14139Oh, men of the strong arm and the stout heart, what use are you making of your physical forces?
14139Oh, must God come upon you in some other way?
14139Oh, my brother, what possessed you that you should part with your soul so cheap?
14139Oh, why do you not put out your arm and reach it?
14139Oh, would it not be better for us to get our nature through the Grace of Christ revolutionized and transfigured?
14139Oh, ye pursued, sinning, dying, troubled, exhausted souls, are you not ready now to hear me while I tell you of Christ, the Refuge?
14139Oh, ye who have tried this world, is it a satisfactory portion?
14139Old age?
14139On what battle- field, my brothers?
14139Only one test-- do you love Jesus?
14139Or for all eternity where would you be?
14139Or had you no idea what your soul was worth?
14139Ought not the apostle to know?
14139Ought you not give him freedom of choice?"
14139Out of so dark a night did there ever dawn so bright a morning?
14139Out of this audience to- day, how many will get to the shore of heaven?
14139Pay?
14139People cried out,"Who ever heard of such theories of ethics and government?
14139Really, is it bread?"
14139Roll over me with all thy surges, ye oceans of sorrow"?
14139Ruth going into that harvest- field might have said:"There is a straw, and there is a straw, but what is a straw?
14139Shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?"
14139Shall I give an account for what I have told you to- night?
14139Shall I tell you when your death hour will come?
14139Shall any man or woman or child in this audience who has ever suffered for another find it hard to understand this Christly suffering for us?
14139Shall it rise into the companionship of the white- robed, whose sins Christ has slain?
14139Shall you, His child, rush in to criticise or arraign or condemn the divine government?
14139She coaxes him again, and says:"Now tell me the secret of this great strength?"
14139She said to Wellington:"Can there nothing good be said of this man?"
14139She said:"Are you not going to pay me?"
14139She took up the death- warrant, and it trembled in her hand as she again asked:"Does no one know anything good of this man?"
14139Some one said to him,"What are you listening for?"
14139Speak, dying Christian-- what light do you see?
14139Spinola said to Sir Horace Vere:"Of what did your brother die?"
14139Standing before some who shall be launched into the great eternity, what are your equipments?
14139The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?"
14139The debt is paid, and the receipt is handed to you, written in the blood of the Son of God-- will you have it?
14139The employer says:"I hear you are going to leave me?"
14139The entire kingdom of the morally bankrupt by themselves, where are the salvatory influences to come from?
14139The happiest, and the brightest, and the fairest in all heaven-- who are they?"
14139The man turned to the other, and said:"Where did your father die?"
14139The men whose life- time work is the study of the science of health say so, and shall I set up my opinion against theirs?
14139The question is asked:"Is there any good about this man?"
14139The servants come rushing up and say:"What''s the matter?
14139The tenant goes on improving his property, and after awhile I come around and I say to my agent,''How much rent is this man paying?''
14139The workman looks around to his comrades, and says:"Boys, what do you say to this?
14139The world clapped its hands and stamped its feet in honor of Charles Lamb; but what does he say?
14139Then chariots and horses of fire racing up and down the heavens; then perfect day:"Who is she that cometh forth as the morning?"
14139Then have you forgotten the last half of my text?
14139Then you have a soul, have you?
14139There is n''t anything like the Bible for a dying soldier, is there, my comrade?"
14139There is not enough food in all the village for this crowd; besides that, who has the money to pay for it?
14139There was a gentleman riding by on a horse, and he stopped and said to this corporal,"Why do n''t you help them lift?
14139They come bounding toward me, and I say:"Who are they?
14139They look as if they had rusted from sea- spray; and I say to the maiden of Israel:"Have you no song for a tired pilgrim?"
14139Though you should be successful in leaving a competency behind you, the trickery of executors may swamp it in a night?
14139To- morrow?
14139To- night?
14139Toward that bridal Jerusalem are our windows opened?
14139WHY ARE SATAN AND SIN PERMITTED?
14139Was it merely coincidental that before the destruction of Jerusalem the moon was eclipsed for twelve consecutive nights?
14139Was n''t it strange?"
14139Was there ever such a convocation of pictures, bronzes, of bric- Ã  -brac, of grandeurs, social grandeurs?
14139Well, how could the tender- hearted Paul say that?
14139Were there not enough sick to be attended in these Northern latitudes?
14139What are Michael Angelo''s great pictures?
14139What are Paul Veronese''s great pictures?

14139What sounds do you hear?
14139What then?
14139What though our feet be blistered with the way?
14139What were the subjects of Raphael''s great paintings?
14139What will become of that womanly disciple of the world?
14139What would the colonel say?
14139What, then, will be said to us-- we to whom the Lord gave physical strength and continuous health?
14139What_ is_ the matter?"
14139When is that?
14139When we are attacked, what advantage is there in having a fortress on the other side of the mountain?
14139Where are the carpets?
14139Where are the daughters?
14139Where are your comrades now?
14139Where is he?
14139Where is she now?

14139Where is the hat- rack?
14139Where is the piano?
14139Where is the wardrobe?
14139Where would you and I have been if sin had been followed by immediate catastrophe?
14139Where?
14139Which side are you on?
14139Who are this other group standing so near the throne?
14139Who are those bright immortals near the throne, their faces partly turned toward each other as though about to sing?

14139Whose?
14139Why are they drudging at business early and late?
14139Why become a castaway from God when you can sit upon the throne?
14139Why defer this matter, oh, my dear hearer?
14139Why did God command the priests of old to strike the knife into the kid, and the goat, and the pigeon, and the bullock, and the lamb?
14139Why did that good man suffer, and that bad man prosper?
14139Why do I say this?
14139Why do the low fellows of the city now stick to him so closely?
14139Why do the wicked live?
14139Why do the wicked live?
14139Why do the wicked live?
14139Why do the wicked live?
14139Why do the wicked live?

14139Why this anxious look?
14139Why this deep disquietude in the soul?
14139Why throw away your chance for heaven?
14139Why will ye die miserably when eternal life is offered you, and it will cost you nothing but just willingness to accept it?
14139Why will you live on husks when you may sit down to this white bread of heaven?
14139Why, at the beginning of this service, did you do what you have not done for years-- bow your head in prayer?
14139Why, then, talk of refuge?
14139Why?
14139Why?
14139Why?
14139Will He come?
14139Will it?
14139Will the epidemic sweep Europe and America?
14139Will there be a judgment?
14139Will they do it with spear?
14139Will they do it with sword?
14139Will this war between capital and labor be settled by human wisdom?
14139Will you be among the gathered sheaves?
14139Will you be among them?
14139Will you let Him depart?
14139With battering- ram, rolled up by hundred- armed strength, crashing against the walls?
14139Wo n''t you let Me in?
14139Wo n''t you?
14139Would you advise us to come to you, or will you come to us?
14139Would you advise your friends to make the investment?
14139Would you go to Shreveport or Memphis, with the yellow fever there, to get your physical health restored?
14139Would you not like to be free?
14139Would you not like to exchange this awful uncertainty about the future for a glorious assurance of heaven?
14139Would you not like to- day to come up from the swine- feeding and try this religion?
14139You do not tell him that, do you?
14139You have yours; will you sacrifice it?
14139You say that is all imaginary?
14139You say to him:"Loan you money?
14139You say to me,"Did God not create tobacco?"
14139You say to me,"Is not God good?"
14139You say:"Where are you going?"
14139You will go over to the store to- morrow, and your comrades will say:"Where were you yesterday?"
14139You will not take up arms against the Triune God, will you?
14139and must all this audience share one or the other?
14139does not this story of Vashti the queen, Vashti the veiled, Vashti the sacrifice, Vashti the silent, move your soul?
14139in what prayer- meeting do you exhort?
14139is that the Master''s spirit?
14139of France, who was responsible for St. Bartholomew massacre, died?
14139or David Hume, who employed his life as a spider employs its summer, in spinning out silken webs to trap the unwary?
14139or Voltaire, the most learned man of his day, marshaling a great host of skeptics, and leading them out in the dark land of infidelity?
14139or will it go down among the unbelieving, who tried to gain the world and save their souls, but were swindled out of both?
14139that it will evaporate?
14139that it will relax its grasp?
14139that you may find religion as a man accidentally finds a lost pocket- book?
14139to what almshouse do you announce the riches of heaven?
14139to what penitentiary do you declare eternal liberty?
14139were there ever darker times than those?
14139where?
60107Are you going to make your Easter duty?
60107Which of these three,he asked of the lawyer after telling him the story,"was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers?"
60107Who knows,said St. Alphonsus Liguori,"what God requires of me?
6010724. Who is your master?
60107A corpse?
60107A man enters your house at dead of night and carries off your property; what do you call it?
60107A man meets you on a lonely road and takes your money forcibly from you; what do you call it?
60107A man picks your pocket on the street; what do you call it?
60107A person seems very good, but what is the reason?
60107Again, how about the advice of your_ father_ confessor?
60107All these are various ways of breaking the Seventh Commandment; and what is that?
60107And Jesus answering, said; Were there not ten made clean?
60107And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?
60107And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee?
60107And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?
60107And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, ye of little faith?
60107And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts?
60107And answering them, he said: Which of you whose ass or his ox shall fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him out on the Sabbath day?
60107And are not kind words often of more worth than bodily refreshment?
60107And as Jesus looks out on the few who come to his feet, to the Holy Communion, he is forced to exclaim in sorrow:"Were not ten made clean?
60107And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him, and saying: Master, what must I do to possess eternal life?
60107And even setting that aside, is it not possible that those who have studied a subject know more about it than those who have not?
60107And for raiment why are you solicitous?
60107And he asked them: How many loaves have ye?
60107And he called him, and said to him: What is this I hear of thee?
60107And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment?
60107And he spoke also to them a similitude: Can the blind lead the blind?
60107And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one satisfy them here with bread in the wilderness?
60107And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us?
60107And how have we every one heard our own tongue wherein we were born?
60107And how?
60107And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
60107And if it be so necessary for parents to watch over the bodies of their children, what shall I say of the duty of watching over their minds and souls?
60107And is it only those who are strangers to him that contradict him?
60107And is not that happiness?
60107And now in every- day life how must we treat our neighbor in order to fulfil the command of Jesus Christ,"Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself"?
60107And pride is a lie, a deceit;"for if thou hast received,"says St. Paul,"why dost thou glory as if thou hadst not received?"
60107And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them saying: What think you of Christ?
60107And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up?
60107And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship?
60107And then in spiritual things how do we act?
60107And then they say:"Suppose these children get worse and disgrace my name, and even, lose their souls-- what shall I do then?"
60107And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?
60107And they asked him: What then?
60107And they said one to another: Who shall roll us back the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
60107And they were all amazed and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these who speak, Galileans?
60107And what do I mean by this over- reaching or deceiving?
60107And what does a good shepherd do?
60107And what does that mean?
60107And what happened to them on the road?
60107And what have we done, many of us?
60107And what horrible mutterings are these that we hear coming up from dark corners, from workshops, from factories, from lodging- houses, from streets?
60107And what is penance?
60107And what is the word of God?
60107And what is the world''s joy compared to the joy of paradise?
60107And what sort of a penance?
60107And when he was come near, he asked him, saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee?
60107And who are those who speak in God''s name?
60107And who are_ they?_ you will ask.
60107And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good?
60107And who is its master?
60107And why does it not seem to be a temptation?
60107And why is all this parade?
60107And why not?
60107And why not?
60107And why seest thou the mote in thy brother''s eye, but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not?
60107And why, if he lets it be sown, does he not root out this bad seed, and not let it grow and choke what is good?"
60107And why?
60107And why?
60107And why?
60107And why?
60107And yet must we not confess that too often we do not even make an attempt to practise this virtue?
60107And yet what reason had the Samaritan to consider this man to be his neighbor?
60107And, lastly, you want God to forgive your sins?
60107Are not you of much more value than they?
60107Are there not found some in our own day who imitate the conduct of the Pharisee and his friends?
60107Are they spirits?
60107Are thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?
60107Are we afraid of that?
60107Are we all going this way?
60107Are we in sorrow?
60107Are we tempted?
60107Are you afflicted with incurable illness?
60107Are you going to church or for a walk?
60107Are you humiliated?
60107Are you in a fit state to appear there?
60107Are you in business, or at work?
60107Are you in temptation and danger of losing God?
60107Are you in the fever of sin?
60107Are you punished by cold and hunger?
60107Are you ready_ now_, at this moment, to die?
60107Are you rich?
60107Are you sensible of the responsibility which lies upon you to see that the priest is sent for, especially when they are in danger of death?
60107Are you so sensitive about your neighbor''s faults because they offend God?
60107Are you so sensitive about your neighbor''s faults, then, because they offend yourself?
60107Are you very particular to keep the laws of_ mother_ church?
60107Are you weary after your day''s labor?
60107Art thou Elias?
60107Art thou the prophet?
60107As much as you want to take?
60107At that time: Jesus said to his disciples: I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: Whither goest thou?
60107At that time: Jesus said to the multitude of the Jews: Which of you shall convince me of sin?
60107At that time: The Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and levites to John, to ask him: Who art thou?
60107Be not solicitous therefore, saying: What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed?
60107Because they would rather not be bothered?
60107Brethren: Know you not that they who run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize?
60107But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites?
60107But are those who stay outside of the one fold in the way to use this sufficient grace?
60107But are we merely to admire it in them, or have we too a share in it?
60107But do they all mean just what I have said_ he_ meant?
60107But do you dare to say this?
60107But does St. Peter mean that we actually must always obey every one, man, woman, or child, who chooses to command us?
60107But from what do these men of whom our Lord speaks in this parable wish to be excused?
60107But have you followed the example of the one grateful leper-- have you gone back to thank him?
60107But he answering one of them, said: Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst thou not agree with me for a penny?
60107But he said to him: What is written in the law?
60107But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbor?
60107But how is it in fact?
60107But how shall we tell that it does exceed its rights?
60107But in thus covering the sins of others how does charity cover our own?
60107But is it certain that those whom they are tempted to envy are, in reality, in so much better a state?
60107But is it honored among Christians according to its dignity?
60107But the men wondered, saying: Who is this, for even the winds and the sea obey him?
60107But what do such excuses denote?
60107But what do we see?
60107But what do we see?
60107But what does our Divine Lord say of those who now refuse his invitation to this heavenly banquet?
60107But what is the fault?
60107But what is the need of having so many of them?
60107But what kind of Christians must we think ourselves since we all hate to suffer?
60107But what riches of injustice has he gained?
60107But what saith the Scripture?
60107But what should you be swift to hear?
60107But what went you out to see?
60107But what went you out to see?
60107But why did not our Lord let him know it?
60107But why did not our Lord suffer enough to free us from suffering at all?
60107But why is this?
60107But you will say, perhaps:"I do not need St. Joseph''s help so much, for I have Our Blessed Lady to go to; is not she more powerful even than he is?"
60107But, after all, are you not perhaps guilty of a little of the same sin yourselves?
60107By despising it?
60107Can we ever by our words bring others into the church?
60107Catholic heads of families, employers, masters and mistresses, keepers of stores and workshops, how do you look after those that work for you?
60107Christian, Catholic?
60107Could you possibly ask anything more?
60107Did he not promise a reward for even a cup of cold water?
60107Did not the devil know that he was God and could not sin?
60107Did you ever know any such case whose repentance you thought was worthy of such celestial rejoicings?
60107Did you ever spend an hour looking at the drives in Central Park on a pleasant afternoon?
60107Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
60107Do n''t you see the church looking down with eyes of mercy upon you?
60107Do n''t you sometimes envy the rich, get discontented with your position, feel rebellious against the will of God?
60107Do n''t you think if we tried that plan that the numbers on the men''s side would often be rather slim?
60107Do not our own sins, little or great, continually cry out for penance?
60107Do our sins terrify us?
60107Do people get all they pray for?
60107Do we need strength for the battle of life, and courage in the struggle against the world, the flesh, and the devil?
60107Do we want to be where Jesus is now, and where he will be for all eternity?
60107Do you correct your children when they engage in such talk?
60107Do you doubt this?
60107Do you get the doctor?
60107Do you give them time to get to confession?
60107Do you know what the word"tempt"means, my brethren?
60107Do you know what they are?
60107Do you look after the moral conduct of those you employ?
60107Do you not give back as good-- and often worse-- than you get?
60107Do you not see the cap gradually taking a form that will fit some of your heads?
60107Do you offer them such nourishment as a sick person needs?
60107Do you raise your voice in his defence?
60107Do you see that they go to Mass?
60107Do you see upon your souls great livid plague- spots of mortal offences against the Almighty?
60107Do you think they will ever be full of wisdom or have the grace of God in their hearts?
60107Do you turn out of your house those notorious backbiters and tale- bearers of your neighborhood when they begin their poisonous gossip?
60107Do you visit your servant''s sick- bed, or the beds of the poor, to whom we are all indebted for so much service?
60107Do you want to win and save those who have sinned against you?
60107Do you wish, dear brethren, to make sure of not being deceived by these wolves in sheep''s clothing?
60107Do you?
60107Does St. Peter mean, then, that we must be willing to obey every human creature, every man, woman, or child that undertakes to command us?
60107Does he pretend that the holy sacrament of matrimony is keeping him away?
60107Does his grace move them to some sacrifice of their pride, their convenience, or their means?
60107Does it mean that a good intention in itself is a thing which leads to hell?
60107Does our Lord really mean all he says?
60107Does your heart burn with sympathy for him?
60107Drink?
60107Explain the solar system to a child of five years: will he understand you?
60107Fast- days-- do you know what that means?
60107Fervent gratitude would now exclaim:"Surely no Catholic can do any of these to Jesus Christ?"
60107For instance, somebody tells something about you which you know to be false; do you put the best construction on this?
60107For what is it to be exalted in the true sense of the word?
60107For what was it which we celebrated then, and what is it which we are celebrating now?
60107For who hath known the mind of the Lord?
60107God has called you often before; now, by the voice of his priest, he speaks once more and says:"Why stand ye here all the day idle?"
60107God may well say to such a one:"Thou fool, who has told thee that?
60107Grace of God?
60107Had you the gold of Christian charity to present?
60107Had you the incense of faith and the myrrh of sweet and fragrant hope?
60107Have I a right to participate in the Easter joy of to- day, or am I only making an outside show of it, while my conscience tells me I am a hypocrite?
60107Have I kept the commandments of God and of the church?
60107Have I made my Easter duty, or resolved to make it?
60107Have they wings like the angels we saw years ago in the picture- book?
60107Have you been negligent?
60107Have you done this?
60107Have you followed it?
60107Have you neglected the sacraments?
60107Have you neglected your children?
60107Have you never, when you accused yourself of some sin, said that you could not help it?
60107Have you not listened to indecent stories?
60107Have you not often aped the manners and swagger of the worldly- minded?
60107Have you not told some such?
60107He will ask:"How are you?
60107His friend, curious to see what he would say, said:"No; what is it?"
60107How about fasting and abstinence?
60107How are we baptized in Christ''s death?
60107How are you in God''s sight?
60107How are you, baptized of God?
60107How can such an one ever kiss the crucifix?
60107How can we account for this?
60107How dare to press those lips there represented, from which blessings were always returned for cursing?
60107How do I know?
60107How do we hear his voice of truth, which can not deceive nor be deceived?
60107How do you act in that case?
60107How do you do?
60107How does charity cover a multitude of sins?
60107How is it that we are so deaf and dumb in his presence?
60107How is it that we find Catholics denying their faith and going to a Protestant place of worship for the sake of a little food and clothing?
60107How is it we hear of milk- and- water Catholics going to be married before magistrates, or, what is worse, before ministers of a false religion?
60107How is it with us?
60107How is your health, the health of your soul?
60107How many are there who reverence this sacrament as they should?
60107How many more years will you slink away from your Easter duty like cowards and cravens?
60107How much, then?
60107How often they say:"I have no time";"What are the priests for, anyhow?"
60107How shall we escape this terrible penalty?
60107How shall you make it?
60107How will he come back to us?
60107How, then, shall we account for our not hearing his voice, and not being able to say anything worth his hearing, when we set out to pray?
60107How?
60107How?
60107I ask you, here in the sacred presence of God, I ask you in the most solemn manner, when and how will you look upon his face again?
60107I do not think the same about that as the priests do; they are welcome to their opinion but I claim the right to mine"?
60107If David then call him Lord, how is he his son?
60107If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?
60107If that does not mean economy, what does it mean?
60107If we will not do this, if we will distract ourselves needlessly out of the time of prayer, what wonder if we are distracted in it?
60107In such circumstances what is generally your conduct?
60107In what state were you last night when devout hands veiled the figure of Christ?
60107Is each one of us now here present moving daily and hourly on this path?
60107Is it a mere confession that we are sinners?
60107Is it because it really has no explanation?
60107Is it from something painful and humiliating?
60107Is it lawful to give tribute to CÃ ¦ sar, or not?
60107Is it not as easy to suffer a little for the honor of God as a great deal for one''s own?
60107Is it not because parents are neglectful?
60107Is it not because people wo n''t go into the vineyard, wo n''t work, wo n''t take trouble?
60107Is it so with us?
60107Is it so with you who are poor?
60107Is it, then, really true that God will give us all good things which we ask in prayer?
60107Is not the life more than the food, and the body more than the raiment?
60107Is not this a shame?
60107Is that all?
60107Is that so?
60107Is their modesty known to all men?
60107Is this the case?
60107Is your soul really free?
60107It is always worth while to try praying for anything that is not in itself bad; we may be able to get Christ''s name for it, who knows?
60107It is death; and if God himself did not tell us, how could we know but that it is the end of all?
60107It is not much, then, is it, to eat fish instead of meat, to fast enough to have a good appetite, to lose a little sleep and get a little tired?
60107It would appear to belong partly to CÃ ¦ sar; and who can this CÃ ¦ sar be, who shares the earth with its Creator?
60107Let, then, these two questions ring in your ears: Where are you going?
60107My brethren, can this be possible?
60107My friends, does not the shoe pinch you a little?
60107Now if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to- day is, and to- morrow is cast into the oven: how much more you, ye of little faith?
60107Now if I cast out devils in Beelzebub, in whom do your children cast them out?
60107Now, do you correct them_ in the beginning?_ Ah!
60107Now, then, you"children of an older growth,"how have you shown your obedience?
60107Now, what do I mean by worrying?
60107Now, what does all this come from?
60107Now, who are they?
60107Now, who is to form them after the model of Jesus Christ?
60107Now, why does your soul thus cling to the dead past; why does it strive to fly to the unborn future?
60107Once a year?
60107Or perhaps they say:"What shall I do now?"
60107Or what woman having ten groats, if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle and sweep the house and seek diligently until she find it?
60107Or who hath been his counsellor?
60107Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made to him?
60107Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will?
60107Our Saviour did, indeed, by his coming make salvation easier; but how was it that he did so?
60107Over whom, then, are we going to be victorious?
60107Say, when he is uncovered on Good Friday can you, dare you add to his grief by still being what you are now?
60107Shall God not be jealous of his name?
60107Shall he not punish?
60107Such persons say, as Satan did of old,"Does Job serve God for naught?"
60107Suppose I say to one of you:"If you ask Mr. So- and so for such a position or employment in my name you will get it,"what do I mean?
60107That is just the trouble with the heretics of whom I have spoken; is it not so with you, too, perhaps?
60107That is,"Which of the three seems to have considered the poor fellow to be his neighbor?"
60107The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
60107The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him: Do not we say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
60107The church has, it is true, allowed, as the notices say, a moderate collation in the evening What does that mean?
60107The grocery- keeper, the butcher, the baker could do it, and why not the liquor- seller?
60107The question is: has the church power from God to command me, and what does the church command?
60107The yellow fever, you will hear, has appeared in some Southern town, and what has been the result?
60107Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe?
60107Then the servants of the master of the house came and said to him: Master, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field?
60107Then why did you not see that they went to confession, to Mass, to Holy Communion?
60107Therefore calling together every one of his lord''s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?
60107They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us?
60107They said therefore: What is this that he saith, a little while?
60107They say: Why should the church interfere between my wife and me, or between my children and myself?
60107They say:"What have I done that these children of mine are so bad?"
60107This seems strong language; but do we not deserve it if we take from our Lord the little that he claims as his own?
60107To be happy you must be loved; and who will love one who hates?
60107Was the law then against the promises of God?
60107Was your last Easter duty made?
60107We are to forgive as God forgives; that is the bargain, is it not?
60107We hear people saying every day,"How shall we live?"
60107Well, do our good Christians show any disgust for these things?
60107Well, what does their argument amount to?
60107Were you not away from Mass last Christmas?
60107Were you not in mortal sin?
60107Were you not neglecting your religion?
60107Were you not revelling, getting drunk, thinking rather of feasting and enjoying yourselves than of devotion and thanksgiving?
60107What are Christ''s blessings?
60107What did he do?
60107What do I mean by wandering outside the fold?
60107What do men do with such plants?
60107What do people think of such a man?
60107What does St. Peter go on to say?
60107What does St. Peter mean, my brethren, by these words?
60107What does our Lord mean by this, my brethren?
60107What does the word"contradict"mean?
60107What does this mean?
60107What does this mean?
60107What example do you set him?
60107What followed?
60107What follows, then, if what you say is true?
60107What fruit therefore had you then in those things, of which you are now ashamed?
60107What gifts had you to bring to the manger- bed?
60107What hand is that which our Lord wants us to lay upon his dead children?
60107What is Easter, or Christmas, or any other feast of the church worth without the grace of God?
60107What is a Jubilee?
60107What is a farm?
60107What is a fast- day, then?
60107What is a patron?
60107What is it all but untruthfulness, want of humility, strutting up to the head of the table in one way or another?
60107What is it that lies there still, and motionless, and cold?
60107What is it that the spiritual ear ought to hear?
60107What is it to ask in his name?
60107What is it to tempt God?
60107What is it?
60107What is the difference between the two?
60107What is the first one of these notices which you have or have not just heard?
60107What is the lesson?
60107What is the matter that this temptation is not resisted like others?
60107What is the one you are most inclined to?
60107What is the reason of this?
60107What is the reason, my brethren, that people sin by anger so much?
60107What is the teaching of Christ from the ship of Peter on this subject?
60107What is this kind of good intention?
60107What is this mammon of iniquity of which, or with which( for that is the true sense of the words), we are to make friends for ourselves?
60107What is this that we are stealing?
60107What is this vainglory of which he speaks?
60107What is to be done?
60107What kind of a Christian can he be who does not go to confession or communion at least once in a year?
60107What kind of a neighbor are we to this poor brother of ours?
60107What made our Lord so severe with these people of whom the Gospel tells us, who were selling and buying in the temple?
60107What mean these stains upon your soul?
60107What more clear account could he have given them of his approaching passion, death, and resurrection?
60107What of hearing Mass on a Sunday and of abstaining from servile work?
60107What other things are included in the riches of injustice?
60107What prayers do you offer to God for the conversion of the sinner?
60107What reason can we give for this blindness to what was put so plainly before their eyes?
60107What should we ourselves mean by it?
60107What then?
60107What they mean rather by it is:"How can God allow this when I have done my duty?"
60107What use was it to try him?
60107What warnings and exhortations do you give him, especially if he be dear to you by ties of blood?
60107What was the meaning of this promise, and what was its fulfilment?
60107What was the sermon about last Sunday?
60107What were these notices, then?
60107What whisperings are these, hot and burning with the fire of hell?
60107What would they do, if called on to shed their blood for Christ, who can not bear even to be laughed at a little for being practical Catholics?
60107What would we think of one who, saved from such a place, should afterwards make light of the danger and care nothing for the one who saved him?
60107What would you think if you should see the priest, when saying Mass, making his genuflections in this way?
60107What, also, must be thought of interfering relations, cousins, aunts, uncles, and last, but not least, mothers- in- law?
60107What, then, is Benediction?
60107What, then, is a man to do who has offended God in this way?
60107What, then, must they do?
60107When and how shall we see him again?
60107When and how shall you look upon it again?
60107When any one is taken sick, what is the first cry?
60107When the priest has to rebuke you, to reprove you, how do you take it?
60107When the women came to seek the body of Jesus the angel said to them:"Why seek you the living among the dead?
60107When they are sick and suffering are you solicitous that they should have the comfort and help which the holy sacraments afford?
60107When will that trial- day come?
60107When you think of this can you care for other praise?
60107Where are they on Sundays?
60107Where are they when confession day comes around?
60107Where are you going, then?
60107Where are you going?
60107Where are you going?
60107Where is my image and likeness?"
60107Where is the white garment that I gave you?
60107Where or of whom shall we learn our Easter lesson?
60107Where were you then?
60107Where, then, is that voice to be heard?
60107Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
60107Which is that way?
60107Which of these three in thy opinion was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers?
60107Who are these unfortunate people?
60107Who are they?
60107Who are to fill the ranks of the heavenly kingdom?
60107Who can doubt that these lost spirits are terrible enemies to our salvation?
60107Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
60107Who is scandalized, and I do not burn?
60107Who is the judge, after all, about granting prayers?
60107Who is the master of the poor?
60107Who is weak, and I am not weak?
60107Who make up the church on earth?
60107Who saved us from the awful peril?
60107Who says Christ is risen again?
60107Who was it upon whom fell the first ray of Resurrection glory?
60107Who will reap this terrible wages of sin?
60107Whom dost thou make thyself?
60107Whose son is he?
60107Whose trial?
60107Why did you not insist upon their morning and evening prayers being said?
60107Why did you not keep them at home after dark?
60107Why do n''t you say the same thing for somebody else?
60107Why do people act thus?
60107Why do you think it no sin to say the angry word, to flare up when you are provoked?
60107Why is it often so difficult for the priest to get the active co- operation of the lay people?
60107Why is it that I have so little devotion and that God seems so far away?"
60107Why is this?
60107Why is to- day called Passion Sunday, my brethren?
60107Why lay up so much treasure where rust and moth destroy, and where thieves break through and steal?
60107Why should not we do the same for the comfort of our souls?
60107Why should the head of the family be ruled by the clergy?
60107Why should we be so afraid of idleness in spiritual things and in works of charity?
60107Why should you make the Easter duty?
60107Why stand ye here all the day idle?
60107Why then was the law?
60107Why, I say, do you do so?
60107Why, then, be so particular about hunting up all the crusts of bread and bits of fish that were lying round in the grass?
60107Why, then, did you not do penance?
60107Why, then, do some people stay away from their Easter duty?
60107Why, then, if that is the object, does he promise us that if we humble ourselves we shall be exalted?
60107Why, then, not try such a simple remedy?
60107Why, then, stay?
60107Why, when called upon to bear a little part of the priest''s burden, are so many people like an old gun that hangs fire?
60107Why?
60107Why?
60107Why?
60107Why?
60107Will not God give us what our Lord approves of, any way, whether we ask it or not?
60107Will you ever look upon the old, familiar crucifix again?
60107Will you go on so to the end of your lives?
60107Will you still persist in rejecting the Saviour?
60107Would it not be so with us, too, if God should take away all the bad seed of temptation out of our hearts?
60107Yet is it not true?
60107You grumble at the inconvenience to which you are put, but what do you do to help them?
60107You know the story of the old crab, who said to her little ones,"Why do you walk sideways?"
60107You unfortunate drunkards that totter as you walk, who fall in the gutter and by the wayside, is your modesty known to all men?
60107You want men to condone your offences and look over your shortcomings and defects?
60107You want, for instance, to be kept from sin; but what sin?
60107Young men, old men, women, girls, children, people, priests, rich and poor, where are all of you going?
60107_ And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, ye of little faith?_--St. Matt.
60107_ But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbor?_--St. Luke x.
60107_ Thou shalt not steal._ And what is it to deceive or over- reach some one else in business?
60107_ Were not ten made clean?
60107_ What went you out into the desert to see?
60107_ Which of these three in thy opinion was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers?
60107_ Why do you think evil in your hearts?_--St. Matthew ix.
60107_ Why seest thou the mote in thy brother''s eye, but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not?_--St. Luke vi.
60107a man clothed in soft garments?
60107a prophet?
60107a reed shaken with the wind?
60107a reed shaken with the wind?_--St. Matthew xi.
60107and where are the nine?
60107and where are the nine?_--St. Luke xvii.
60107but seldom do they ever think of adding,"and how shall we die?"
60107did you not know that I must be about the things that are my Father''s?
60107do n''t you feel how the mustard- seed burns and stings?
60107do n''t you feel the sharp mustard- seed getting into your eyes?
60107do n''t you think they are waiting for you-- praying for you that you may be there with them?
60107do they not both fall into the ditch?
60107he will say to you,"you tried to serve two masters, did you?
60107how are you preparing for that supreme moment?
60107how readest thou?
60107is it possible that one who has the faith and is possessed of reason can slight such a gift from the God who has redeemed him?
60107is not our lesson plain?
60107is thy eye evil because I am good?
60107just ask yourself:"Am I a peaceable, good- natured man?"
60107may we not some of us have good reason to fear that we shall one day be judged as hypocrites?
60107my friend, how are you?
60107say, shall he still find you so when he returns?
60107was it so?
60107what ails me or my family, or my neighbors, that I am always in hot water, and can scarcely call one day in ten really happy?"
60107what pity have you for the poor sinner?
60107what sawest thou in the way?
60107what sayest thou of thyself?
60107what shall we eat?
60107whence then hath it cockle?
60107where are the nine?"
60107why am I so miserable?
60107why care so much for the goods of this world?
60107{ 122} But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle?
60107{ 124} Why does he so often get the"cold shoulder"as people say, when he asks a little help?
60107{ 129} How does the pedestrian manage to run so as to obtain his fame, his thousand dollars, and his gate- money?
60107{ 150} But is there no excuse?
60107{ 155} How shall we live?
60107{ 167} And perhaps you are even inclined to say:"What ever did the church get up Lent for at all?
60107{ 193} What practical meaning has this Passion- time for us, my brethren?
60107{ 199} What is this lesson?
60107{ 207} Who is it upon whom the great voice of the church liturgy, in the Holy Sacrifice, calls to- day?
60107{ 20}"Where, then, shall the unjust and the sinner appear?"
60107{ 210} What kind of a life would I rise to on the day of resurrection, if I died to- night?
60107{ 211} But what is the cause of our joy?
60107{ 270} What was this change which was worked in the souls of the apostles?
60107{ 279} or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull the mote out of thy eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own eye?
60107{ 27} And when they went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What went you out into the desert to see?
60107{ 286}"Why,"then,"seest thou the mote in thy brother''s eye, but the beam in thy own eye thou considerest not?"
60107{ 293} And what have you done-- many of you, at least?
60107{ 303} And what is that means above all others?
60107{ 313} Are you in poverty?
60107{ 341} But who are these friends to be?
60107{ 346} Moreover, what sort of a good name is that which that man knows is a false one?
60107{ 352} He may have called those who sold in the temple thieves, because they were cheating their neighbors; but is it not as bad to cheat him?
60107{ 373} What wonder is it that it is so hard to pray, and that there are so many distractions?
60107{ 394} And which of you by thinking can add to his stature one cubit?
60107{ 40} For who was this One who had stood in their midst, and whom they had not known?
60107{ 448} Who are these enemies?
60107{ 471} Have you been a drunkard?
60107{ 63} Who are these that I speak of?
60107{ 73} And he said to them: How is it that you sought me?
60107{ 74} What do you see?
60107{ 87} For what is marriage now in the church of Christ?
60107{ 92} How do you treat those fellow- Christians?
60267Did you not know,he said to them when they found him,"that I must be about my Father''s business?"
60267Do men,says our Divine Lord,"gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?"
60267How is it that you sought me?
60267Know you not,says St. Paul,"that all run in the race?"
60267We have,he says to us,"a little to suffer here, but what is it after all?
60267We know,he says,"that we have passed from death to life"; and why?
60267What if you are weak and the temptation is strong? 60267 What shall I render to God for all he hath rendered to me?"
60267Which of you shall convince me of sin?
60267Why,said he,"did you take such trouble to see him?
6026716 Who is not shocked by the recital of Herod''s cruelty?
60267A man clothed in soft garments?
60267A prophet?
60267A reed shaken with the wind?
60267A reed shaken with the wind?_--Gospel Of The Day.
60267Am I in the employment of others, and, if so, do I fulfil my calling worthily by doing all that strict justice or Christian charity requires of me?
60267Am I not, on the contrary, forced for decency''s sake to pass over other shameless sins, which all but the blind and deaf know of among us?
60267Am I the father or mother of a family?
60267And Jesus answering, spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying: Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath day?
60267And Jesus saith to her: Woman, what is that to me and to thee?
60267And Jesus saith to them: Whose image and inscription is this?
60267And Jesus saith to them: Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith?
60267And Jesus seeing their thoughts, said: Why do you think evil in your hearts?
60267And answering them, he said: Which of you whose ass or his ox shall fall into a pit, and will not immediately draw him out on the Sabbath day?
60267And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting him, and saying: Master, what must I do to possess eternal life?
60267And beside these, are there not more blessings which we can see if we look back on the year, standing out from the rest?
60267And do n''t you think that these"valleys"are a very good likeness of all the things which we have left undone in our lives?
60267And do you not know that your poor soul is either sick or runs the risk of catching a deadly sickness every day you live?
60267And does_ Christian humility_ mean nothing in act?
60267And for raiment why are you solicitous?
60267And have we not also to obey the special decrees of the Holy Father, of our bishop, and of our pastor?
60267And he asked them: How many loaves have ye?
60267And he called him, and said to him: What is this I hear of thee?
60267And he said to them: How is it that you sought me?
60267And he saith to him: Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment?
60267And he spoke also to them a similitude: Can the blind lead the blind?
60267And he that doth all things well, would he not do his whole duty as Son, would he not be a model Son?
60267And his disciples answered him: From whence can any one satisfy them here with bread in the wilderness?
60267And how did this unjust steward act?
60267And how have we every one heard our own tongue wherein we were born?
60267And how have you, dear brethren, requited such infinite love?
60267And how is it quenched?
60267And how is that peace gained?
60267And how will knowing that they are weak save them?
60267And if Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand?
60267And if one does not love God above all things, how can he be saved?
60267And if we do rightly trust in God''s favor, how can we forget that progress in virtue is a necessary condition of our remaining virtuous at all?
60267And is he not associated every way, historically and in the devotions of our religion, with the prince of the Apostles, St. Peter?
60267And the Pharisees being gathered together, Jesus asked them saying: What think you of Christ?
60267And the servants said to him: Wilt thou that we go and gather it up?
60267And the steward said within himself: What shall I do, because my lord taketh away from me the stewardship?
60267And they asked him, and said to him: Why then dost thou baptize, if thou be not Christ, nor Elias, nor the prophet?
60267And they asked him: What then?
60267And they said one to another: Who shall roll us back the stone from the door of the sepulchre?
60267And they were all amazed and wondered, saying: Behold, are not all these who speak Galileans?
60267And what answers in the spiritual life to the consciousness of social position?
60267And what answers to human talents and ability?
60267And what except divine love could be as sweet as the taste the soul enjoys in the reception of the sacraments?
60267And what is this cause and source of joy?
60267And what though it be all stained and spotted with mortal sin; is there no such thing as true repentance?
60267And when he was come near, he asked him, saying: What wilt thou that I do to thee?
60267And when they went their way, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: What went you out into the desert to see?
60267And who is he that can hurt you, if you be zealous of good?
60267And you, fathers and mothers of families, what are these conversations which you hold one with the other?
60267And, secondly, Why is it specially selected as the object of our devotion?
60267Are not all men redeemed by the Blood of Christ?
60267Are not the newspapers filled with stories which pander to this uncharitable spirit?
60267Are not you of much more value than they?
60267Are our souls asleep?
60267Are the laws of the church irksome to you and so avoided?
60267Are the sacraments she offers you the source and support of your life?
60267Are there no fountains of living waters in the sacraments in which it may be washed whiter than snow?
60267Are there no gems of divine grace with which it may be decked out as a bride waiting for the bridegroom?
60267Are they in any way improper, or such that you would be ashamed to have them repeated in the presence of your parents?
60267Are they laboring under the incredible and awful delusion that they commit no great sin when they entertain or give expression to such thoughts?
60267Are they not doing an injury to her Son by over- honoring his Mother?
60267Are they not men, and are they not purchased by the Blood of Christ?
60267Are we always trying to give him no more than we can help, and keep as much as we can for ourselves?
60267Are we better, more perfect, nearer to God now than we were last year, or even ten years ago?
60267Are we careless or indifferent about the one thing needful for us-- our soul''s salvation?
60267Are we never to do as we desire, but always to have a restraint and a yoke upon us?
60267Are you sick?
60267Are you tempted?
60267Are you tired out?
60267Are you, my friends, willing to take that trouble for your soul''s sake, or do you prefer to fall as you have fallen before?
60267Art thou Elias?
60267Art thou greater than our father Abraham, who is dead?
60267Art thou the prophet?
60267As St. Paul says,"If God be for us, who is against us?
60267As we do see this, are we not bound to keep in check,_ at all costs_, this source of evil?
60267As we look back on our lives, do we find that this has actually been fulfilled in them?
60267As you sit here to- day, do the words of the Apostle offer no rebuke to you, do you not feel their sting?
60267At that time: Jesus said to his disciples: I go to him that sent me, and none of you asketh me: Whither goest thou?
60267At that time: Jesus said to the multitude of the Jews: Which of you shall convince me of sin?
60267At that time: The Jews sent from Jerusalem priests and levites to John, to ask him: Who art thou?
60267Be not solicitous therefore, saying: What shall we eat, or what shall we drink, or wherewith shall we be clothed?
60267Brethren, has it ever occurred to you that each one of us has a vocation in this life?
60267Brethren, shall I say a word about gratitude due to us of the sanctuary?
60267Brethren: Know you not that they who run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize?
60267But Jesus, knowing their wickedness, said: Why do you tempt me, ye hypocrites?
60267But about the eleventh hour he went out and found others standing, and he saith to them: Why stand you here all the day idle?
60267But again: what does a man do who takes the pledge?
60267But as the newness, the freshness of the Easter joy and triumph passes away, does not another feeling come and mingle with it?
60267But do you wish me to tell you the easiest way to be sober?
60267But have not you had a pretty good chance for these amusements for the last few months?
60267But have you done so?
60267But he answered:"Why are you fearful, O ye of little faith?"
60267But he answering one of them, said: Friend, I do thee no wrong; didst thou not agree with me for a penny?
60267But he said to him: What is written in the law?
60267But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbor?
60267But how are they to be made?
60267But how can this be?
60267But how can we do it?
60267But how can we do this?
60267But how is the Holy Ghost in the Catholic Church?
60267But how is this leaven, or yeast?
60267But how many of the thousands who made these promises have kept them?
60267But how shall we best do so?
60267But how will it be in fact; how is it too often, after such times of grace and fervor?
60267But may we not turn the question around and learn another good lesson from it?
60267But of what do the majority of men most readily converse?
60267But once more: what does a man do who takes the pledge?
60267But somebody might say: Father, ca n''t you tell us something to make the morning prayers easy?
60267But suppose he does not die immediately after baptism, how is it with him then?
60267But the men wondered, saying: Who is this, for even the winds and the sea obey him?
60267But was this way of growing only meant for God''s church in the beginning?
60267But what are the sins of the tongue we most often hear?
60267But what does the word"mortify"mean?
60267But what is our sanctification?
60267But what saith the Scripture?
60267But what shall obtain for us at that last moment the faith, hope, and charity which we need?
60267But what that glory is who shall tell?
60267But what was their mistake?
60267But what went you out to see?
60267But what went you out to see?
60267But what, therefore, is the first thought that must enter our hearts?
60267But who among you can face, without flinching, the tears of so good a friend as our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ?
60267But why do we ask ourselves these questions?
60267But why do we select the Heart of our Lord, or rather why has he himself selected it, as a special object of our adoration?
60267But why should we not speak of it often?
60267But, my dear brethren, mid all these rejoicings may there not be some poor soul among us who does not participate in the joys of Easter time?
60267But, then, who, except indeed the fisherman, wants you to eat fish?
60267But, you ask again, is he a human person also?
60267But, you say, what about a purpose of amendment?
60267Can any one be a mother and not be mother of a person?
60267Can he, however, demand this permission to enter heaven immediately after his death if he has committed only venial sin?
60267Can we kill them?
60267Can we tell what the result will be?
60267Could God be long in our hearts and we be altogether ignorant of it?
60267Dear brethren, shall we be slow to go to him who comes with healing for our immortal souls?
60267Did you never notice that pride and hardness of heart go together?
60267Do I exaggerate?
60267Do I furnish them proper reading matter, or do I allow them to waste their time and ruin their souls with the vile penny literature of the day?
60267Do I make my home pleasant and agreeable for my children?
60267Do I supply them with suitable home amusements?
60267Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?
60267Do not sinners rest quite secure in their wickedness just because they believe in the true religion?
60267Do our conversations, like theirs, contain nothing reprehensible?
60267Do they not feel sure of salvation because they know how to be saved?
60267Do we care, as it is, to be near Jesus?
60267Do we even care for his presence by grace in our souls, which they always had in its fulness, and never dimmed by the shadow of sin?
60267Do we not know by observation and experience that where the wrath of God sets apart a single victim his tender love wins over a thousand?
60267Do we not make rather too much fuss and complaint over what is not really such a very great penance?
60267Do we not owe them much?
60267Do we not receive in our baptism, as infants, the grace that destroys original sin?
60267Do we owe_ them_ nothing?
60267Do we try to have our own way as much as possible, and never to step out of it for his sake, unless compelled by force or threats?
60267Do you covet that happiness?
60267Do you fairly understand it?
60267Do you not see that this exhibition of mercy in the Judge only renders the justice of the sentence more evident to you and more dreadful?
60267Do you take in its full meaning and application?
60267Do you think that such a loving Father would teach us, his children, A B C except with the set purpose of going clean through to X Y Z?
60267Do you trust to your knowledge of spiritual things and your pious talk?
60267Do you want to die as you are living?
60267Do you want to know how she is able to do this?
60267Do you wish that your name, too, should be written in the book of life?
60267Does God give more of this world''s goods to one man than to another because he loves one more than another?
60267Does any one want to be God- like?
60267Does it, then, still move the world in this way?
60267Does not God forgive us also our mortal sins, giving us time to repent, and even waiting patiently for our repentance?
60267Does not St. John also make it the test of our salvation?
60267Does not that dwell specially on the future?
60267Does not the Psalmist say that God''s mercy"is above all his works"?
60267Does she feel quite certain that she may not be subjected to insult or worse?
60267Fathers, are you solicitous for the little household which Almighty God himself has so fondly entrusted to your care?
60267For if one does not love God enough to offend bad men for his sake, how can he love him above all things?
60267For is not your church named for St. Paul?
60267For what is a grace?
60267For what is it that is meant, perhaps, by that?
60267For what is it to love any one; how do we act towards one whom we really and truly love?
60267For what is this which is called flirting?
60267For who hath known the mind of the Lord?
60267Forgiving one another, as they say the Lord has forgiven them?
60267From how many shameful falls have you not been raised up?
60267Had he no special purpose in this?
60267Had they not shown enough love and care for him?
60267Had they proved themselves unworthy of him?
60267Has it ever been so?
60267Have our consciences been lulled into a false security concerning the state of our immortal souls?
60267Have they never had a favor done them?
60267Have we thanked him for all these?
60267Have you at heart the interests of God''s holy church; are her sorrows, her wants, her trials yours?
60267Have you been guilty of soul- murder?
60267Have you ever been very sick?
60267Have you ever pondered over these beautiful words, and made them the subject of your meditation?
60267Have you ever tried to find out their true meaning, and thus make them profitable to your souls?
60267Have you not bowed down to idols of clay when you have steeped yourselves in drunkenness, in impurities, in the many sins of the flesh?
60267Have you not bowed down when you chose to gratify your lower instincts at the cost of your spiritual ruin?
60267Have you not heard of a sudden and unprovided death and then remembered how years ago that man started a disreputable business?
60267Have you washed your past life clean from sin by this Easter duty?
60267Have your virtuous lives and edifying example brought home the truths and beauties of the Catholic faith to those outside the church?
60267He commands us to hope; but in what shall our hope be placed?
60267He that spared not even his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how hath he not also with him given us all things?"
60267How about the practice of it?
60267How am I walking in the vocation in which I am called?
60267How can a young girl know the character of him with whom she is dancing?
60267How can any one seriously attempt what he believes to be impossible?
60267How can it be explained?
60267How can you ask such a question?
60267How can you sleep a moment or be at rest a single instant longer while knowing you are condemned already, because you have not made your Easter duty?
60267How could he regret what none knew so well as he was to be a punishment all too light for the crimes of the Jews?
60267How could it be otherwise?
60267How could our Saviour weep over a downfall so well deserved?
60267How did it happen, people sometimes ask concerning this or that person, that she did not marry?
60267How do we act then?
60267How do we lose the light of faith which he gives?
60267How does he treat me, notwithstanding my many, many sins?
60267How have we done this in the past?
60267How is it that we harden our hearts?
60267How is it with us?
60267How is it, then, that man finds himself in his actual condition?
60267How is this?
60267How is this?
60267How many are there who, when they examine their conscience, ever think of questioning themselves upon the duties of their position in life?
60267How many business- men question themselves as to the honesty or propriety of this or that mode of action they have been following?
60267How many graces and blessings do you not owe to that crucified Lord?
60267How many of those who were not leading a Christian life before the mission are now doing so?
60267How will that countenance look to us at that moment?
60267How will those ears listen to our reports of our own lives?
60267How will those lips speak to us in that dread moment?
60267How would I feel if I were spoken of in this manner?
60267How, then, are they to have the truth brought home to them?
60267How, then, can we best practise this forgiveness which is so necessary for us?
60267How, then, can we expect to comprehend the nature and the inner life of God?
60267How, then, will the bearing of others burdens help us to serve God better?
60267I answer by a comparison: Why do men plant and then reap a field of wheat?
60267I say, why has he himself selected it?
60267If David then called him Lord, how is he his son?
60267If I say the truth to you, why do you not believe me?
60267If all that we are and have is from God, by him and in him, how can we set ourselves apart from him, or claim anything for ourselves against him?
60267If so, do I discharge the duties of my calling?
60267If so, why do we not seek it more?
60267If we know that we are in danger, and that we can escape from it, but only by God''s help, why does not that help come and save us?
60267If you can not make him better, what is the sense of making him miserable?
60267In how many bitter sorrows have you not been comforted?
60267In how many sore temptations have you not been defended and strengthened?
60267In order to be a sincere Christian, what has a man to do?
60267In such a case as this is it true that even then all will be just as if the sin had never been committed?
60267In the first place, then, we will ask, What is the nature of the worship which we render to the Sacred Heart of Jesus?
60267In the words of St. Paul, are we not continually biting and devouring one another?
60267In what way may these duller and obtuser minds learn to appreciate these higher things?
60267Indeed?
60267Is everyone who comes near a Catholic girl or woman conscious of this influence?
60267Is he not personally her son?
60267Is his presence in the Blessed Sacrament of the altar a consolation to us?
60267Is it because Christ our Lord has come to save us from sin and eternal ruin?
60267Is it freedom from conflict?
60267Is it not merely to make up your mind to confess your sins and to keep for a few days as you ought to be, and then be pretty much as you were before?
60267Is it not our first duty to love God so strongly that we prefer him to all things else, even our nearest relatives?
60267Is it not the best praise of an individual that he is prosperous, and of a nation that it is wealthy?
60267Is it possible that one of their Apostles told them to do that?
60267Is it that a Protestant minister is an immoral or vicious character, with whom we should have nothing to do?
60267Is it the virtues of your neighbors that are spoken of and recounted for your own edification and your children''s imitation?
60267Is it the way we consider God''s service?
60267Is n''t that enough?
60267Is not the blessed privilege of the holy faith the secret reason of many a person''s delay of repentance?
60267Is not the life more than the food, and the body more than the raiment?
60267Is not the love of God the end of all religion?
60267Is not the love of God the one absorbing duty of our lives?
60267Is not the love of our neighbor the second great commandment, like to and founded on the first?
60267Is not the possession of riches deemed the most enviable happiness?
60267Is not this the most anxious inquiry, How shall I get rich?
60267Is she not engaged in a dance which borders on immodesty?
60267Is she not the Mother of our Lord, personally his Mother?
60267Is she satisfied that her mother would be pleased to see her with her present companions?
60267Is the Christian to have no battle to fight, no enemy to overcome?
60267Is the desire for freedom, which is implanted in us, all a delusion?
60267Is the kingdom of heaven of which he was speaking that heaven into which all the saved are to enter?
60267Is there a time in our lives when that debt is not binding?
60267Is there any poor little cripple in the family?
60267Is there no special significance in his choice of those words?
60267Is there not a mystery here?
60267Is this the way we act?
60267It is a mistake, and why?
60267It is necessarily this: How will that Man receive us when we are called into his presence, one by one, as we leave this world?
60267It is this:"What am I here for?
60267It is, How is the baby this morning?
60267It might be asked, dear brethren, what need God has of_ our_ testimony, or why the creature should act the part of witness for the Creator?
60267Let me ask, however, what kind of sorrow have you?
60267Let us see how this is; how is this love going to work to keep us in the safe and sure track?
60267Mothers, do you strive to make yourselves patterns of the Christian virtues of gentleness and forbearance?
60267Need I mention them?
60267Now do you not see why our Lord, his Apostles, and his church made so much of the love of one''s neighbor?
60267Now if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to- day is, and to- morrow is cast into the oven: how much more you, ye of little faith?
60267Now what can be the reason of the failure of these good people in prayer?
60267Now, I say this is very beautiful, is it not?
60267Now, brethren, what is there in the spiritual life that answers to good clothes?
60267Now, how does all this apply to us?
60267Now, how is it in fact?
60267Now, in view of what I have said, ask yourselves, is this way of acting the mark of all Catholics?
60267Now, is such our religion?
60267Now, what does our Lord say of those who thus put temptation in the way of the young and innocent?
60267Now, what is exactly this precept of the Easter duty?
60267Now, what is the faith in hell?
60267Now, what is the reason of all this sad want of perseverance?
60267Now, what is the reason of this contemptible sneaking and meanness in those who ought to be brave and generous soldiers of Christ?
60267Now, what is this that we should love; what is our treasure in heaven?
60267Now, who has done so much for us as our parents?
60267Now, why has the church, by selecting the account of the Transfiguration at this season, turned our thoughts to what seems so inappropriate a subject?
60267Now, why not try to follow this line?
60267One should get leave to do so, of course; but if you have no sin on your conscience, what is easier than to say so to the priest?
60267Or am I a business- man who deals squarely and honestly with my neighbors, never on the alert to take advantage of the ignorant and weak?
60267Or am I just to men who work for me?
60267Or are you standing afar off ready to give an approving nod when the world smiles, or slink off like a coward when the world frowns?
60267Or is there not some other meaning which we may give to the words?
60267Or what woman having ten groats, if she lose one groat, doth not light a candle and sweep the house and seek diligently until she find it?
60267Or who hath been his counsellor?
60267Or who hath first given to him, and recompense shall be made to him?
60267Or, if he can make such an arrangement, why should he not work for one in the morning, and another in the afternoon?
60267Or, is it not lawful for me to do what I will?
60267Other people have comfort; why should not they?
60267Ought it to be such a great penance for a Christian to come and spend a little while in the presence of Him with whom he hopes to dwell for ever?
60267Ought not each one of us strive to get ourselves into that blessed state?
60267Peace, then, we should have in our spiritual combat; but how in the battle for our temporal life?
60267Shall a man do less for God than for himself?
60267Shall a man not do as much for the good of his soul and for eternal life in the next world?
60267Shall we not take a little trouble when such tremendous interests are at stake?
60267Shall we simply take our trouble because we can not help it, and fret as little as we can, because fretting only makes it worse?
60267Shall we trust to luck when a little effort will make heaven sure?
60267She has been introduced, to be sure, but what of that?
60267Since, then, this our mission is so important, brethren, how are we to fulfil it?
60267So we may learn, perhaps, another lesson from the question in the Gospel by reversing it and asking,"Who is not my neighbor?"
60267Such a one is well described by our Blessed Lord as"a whited sepulchre?
60267Such do not really try to avoid it; how can they?
60267Sup- pose you had a habit of spitting on your neighbor''s face or clothes by preference to any other place, how long would he endure it?
60267Suppose our Lord should suddenly quit the sacramental form of the host and ask a communicant at the altar- rail,"What do you wish for?"
60267Tell us, therefore, what dost thou think, Is it lawful to give tribute to CÃ ¦ sar, or not?
60267That is plain enough, is it not?
60267The Jews therefore said to him: Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham?
60267The Jews, therefore, answered and said to him: Do we not say well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil?
60267The publicans who were farthest from God came and asked:"Master, what shall we do?"
60267The thought of heaven was the joy and strength of the martyrs; why should it not be the constant support of ordinary Christians, too?
60267Then he said to another: And how much dost thou owe?
60267Then the servants of the master of the house came and said to him: Master, didst thou not sow good seed in thy field?
60267There is, however, a sanctification that we ought to expect from this Lent, and what is it?
60267Therefore calling together every one of his lord''s debtors, he said to the first: How much dost thou owe my lord?
60267They said therefore unto him: Who art thou, that we may give an answer to them that sent us?
60267They set out to do as they pleased, and how has it ended?
60267This is the example he has left us that we should follow his steps; shall we refuse to profit by it?
60267This is whom we have when we have Christ, and should we not rejoice at having such a one?
60267To another he says: What are you doing there, you who are so fault- finding and overbearing?
60267To lose that, had it been possible, would have been a thousand deaths to them; what is it to us?
60267Very well; was that adding anything to the Christian faith?
60267Was it because he was like a reed shaken by the wind?
60267Was it that they never expected it to be otherwise?
60267Was it that those who made their confessions then were not sincere; that they made promises which they did not really expect to keep?
60267Was the law then against the promises of God?
60267We believe his word, we are in his true church, we receive his saving and life- giving sacraments; how, then, shall we not be saved?
60267We revere that real Presence of our Lord, but do we love it?
60267Well, the witch- hazel of the Christian soul is just this question: How much confidence have you in the love of our Lord Jesus Christ for you?
60267Well, then, what is the matter?
60267Were they altogether wrong in wishing for liberty?
60267What are the topics most commonly treated of in your Christian homes?
60267What are the trials of the church now compared to those at the very beginning?
60267What are these white lies?
60267What but the grace of God, with, which our souls should be provided, and without which they are in the state of mortal sin?
60267What could our Lord have meant when he said that the two were alike?
60267What do I mean by a tolerably good Christian?
60267What do they believe, and what do they teach?
60267What do you think of persons who actually make a living in selling journals which are but the pictured proceedings of the police courts?
60267What does a man do when he takes the pledge?
60267What does he do?
60267What does the Apostle mean by this?
60267What else is that wonder of the world called the faith of Catholics?
60267What fruit therefore had you then in those things, of which you are now ashamed?
60267What is it that gives to many such that singular taste for and perception of what is pure, beautiful, and true, which they unmistakably possess?
60267What is it to follow God?
60267What is more edifying than the virtue of a good father?
60267What is that, among all religious practices, which he would have us do as a token of inner and outer reverence?
60267What is the best way?
60267What is the goal to which it is tending?
60267What is the reason, the doctrine, of the Catholic''s devotion to Mary?
60267What is the spirit?
60267What is to be thought of those who act in this way?
60267What is, then, the harm exactly of going to a Protestant minister to get married?
60267What lesson can_ we_ learn from these events?
60267What more could I have done for my vineyard which I have not done?
60267What must the murderers of little children expect?
60267What one of us but has his daily task-- his allotted work?
60267What parched his tongue with such burning thirst?
60267What peace can we have while its issue is still uncertain, its events yet unknown?
60267What platted the crown of thorns, and drove those sharp spikes deep into his sacred head?
60267What pointed the spear of the impious Roman soldier, and hurled it deep into the Sacred Heart, whence issued the red torrent of the Precious Blood?
60267What sent those nails through his hands and feet, fixing them to the tree of shame?
60267What was his special motive in this extraordinary course of penance?
60267What was the reason that they did not persevere?
60267What was this difficulty?
60267What way is there of spreading the light?
60267What were those things which he had yet to say to them, but which they could not then bear?
60267What would you have me do?"
60267What, in short, is more common than detraction, and even slander?
60267What, then, are these laws?
60267What, then, does the Catholic faith teach us about her?
60267What, then, have we to fear if we will only keep close to him?
60267What, then, is human about him?
60267What, then, is it?
60267What, then, is the nature of our worship of the Sacred Heart?
60267What, then, must we do?
60267When may we hope that the promise of our Lord will be fulfilled and labor shall be crowned with success?
60267When we have anything to do, we must say, Would God do this way or that way?
60267When, therefore, we see this great goodness of our Lord towards us, how can we be so heedless of our own good as to turn away from him?
60267Where do they get money to buy them?
60267Where is he, that we may find him?
60267Where or in what but his mercy?
60267Where, then, is our peace in this inevitable war, this contest which demands all the energies of our body and soul?
60267Where, then, is the purpose of amendment?
60267Which is easier, to say, Thy sins are forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk?
60267Which of these three in thy opinion was neighbor to him that fell among the robbers?
60267Which of us, dear brethren, is without his burden or his care?
60267Which of you shall convince me of sin?
60267Which of_ you_, my brethren?
60267Which one of the children is best loved by the father and mother?
60267Who are these people whom he would find fault with?
60267Who are these?
60267Who can count himself safe so much as one day from his own natural feebleness, or from the wiles of Satan, or from human respect?
60267Who dare say that he has nothing to fear from the judgments of God?
60267Who in our day are like Herod?
60267Who is he that overcometh the world, but he that believeth that Jesus is the Son of God?
60267Who is it that prepares the Supper, they or the Lord?
60267Who is scandalized, and I do not burn?
60267Who is weak, and I am not weak?
60267Who will help us to persevere when the enemies of our salvation are making the most of their last chance to snatch it from us?
60267Whom dost thou make thyself?
60267Whose money pays for it?
60267Whose son is he?
60267Why can we not leave judgment to God, and treat poor sinners after our Lord''s example, praying and suffering for them?
60267Why did she not marry?
60267Why did you think so much of him?
60267Why do Catholics pay so much honor to the Virgin Mary?
60267Why do all this hard work?
60267Why do we say that"Christmas comes but once a year,"if not because we feel that there is nothing else that can take its place?
60267Why does not the world now come to us as it did in those former days of its anxiety and doubt?
60267Why is it that it has such a warm place in our hearts?
60267Why not have something to show for all our trouble at the end of our time here on earth?
60267Why not make it, as we may, into a crown to take with us into that life which has no end?
60267Why should it not be so to us all?
60267Why should they be treated so harshly?
60267Why suffer this poverty, this sickness, this worry and distress of mind?
60267Why then was the law?
60267Why was it that they had the same sad story to tell when they came back this time that they had a few years ago?
60267Why will not the generosity of God towards us lead us to show a like spirit towards our brethren?
60267Why will you not see the hand of God directing the whole course of your life?"
60267Why, then, are you so careless about morning prayers?
60267Why, then, does not the church increase more rapidly?
60267Why?
60267Why?
60267Will it make them strong?
60267Will those with whom we have enjoyed life then stand by to help us?
60267Will you heed this warning, or will you still put off the day of your conversion to God?
60267Will you remain thus, you who are in sin?
60267Would he not at least have told them if such had been his plan?
60267Would he not grant her lightest wish while he lived with her on earth, will he not gladly do so now in heaven?
60267Would he not say rather that we were indeed like reeds, turning to one side or another, according to the wind that happens to be blowing?
60267Would it not be fearful to see him stagger up to the altar of God in the state of intoxication?
60267Would it not be horrible for a man to come in on the altar and utter repeated curses?
60267Would it not, perhaps, even be a painful restraint?
60267Would our answer be as pleasing to God as theirs was?
60267Would we care for this presence which they so bitterly missed?
60267Would you find it easy to do such a thing yourself, however guilty?
60267Yes, sorrow may come in such an overflowing torrent as to break down and sweep away all obstacles in its path; but how often does it come so?
60267Yet another might say: But, Father, what about the sacraments, and what about the practice of prayer, and what about the laws of the church?
60267Yet how can we call any class of virtues little?
60267You are sorry that things were so that you had to tell a lie; but if things were so again to- morrow, would not you tell the lie again?
60267You fail, and why?
60267You wish to succeed?
60267_ And he said to them: What are these discourses that you hold one with another?
60267_ Brethren, know you not that they that run in the race, all run indeed, but one receiveth the prize?
60267_ Shouldst not thou then have had compassion on thy fellow- servant, even as I had compassion on thee?_--St. Matthew, xviii.
60267_ What is this receiving of God''s grace in vain, my brethren, against which St. Paul warns us in these words of the Epistle of to- day?
60267_ What went you out into the desert to see?
60267_ Where are the nine?_--St. Luke xvii.
60267_ Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbor to him that fell among robbers?
60267_ Which of you shall convince me of sin?_--John viii.
60267_ Who is my neighbor?_--From the Gospel of the Sunday.
60267and where are the nine?
60267dear brethren, and what do we see in the world about us?
60267did you not know that I must be about the things that are my Father''s?
60267do they not both fall into the ditch?
60267have pity on me, for this is my dear son, dead in mortal sin?
60267he still says to us,"why are you so slow and dull of heart to understand?
60267how much you are losing, and for what?
60267how readest thou?
60267is it not our sins?
60267is thy eye evil because I am good?
60267or how canst thou say to thy brother, Brother, let me pull the mote out of thy eye, when thou thyself seest not the beam in thy own eye?
60267what end do I hope to obtain?"
60267what is the use, what is the purpose of all this life which I am living?
60267what sayest thou of thyself?
60267whence then hath it cockle?
60267where is thy sting?
60267where is thy victory?
60267{ 109} Is it because we fast, say long prayers, visit the church, or even because we receive the sacraments often?
60267{ 127} What does this oil mean that the foolish virgins neglected to provide for themselves and to have in their lamps?
60267{ 138} Plenty of this seed has, then, been sown in us; but where is the fruit, the harvest that should have come from it?
60267{ 158} And, when we come to look at it, is it such a very terrible infliction?
60267{ 159} Now, after the fast and abstinence, what is left?
60267{ 174} Now if I cast out devils in Beelzebub, in whom do your children cast them out?
60267{ 189} Where, then, is liberty to be found?
60267{ 195} Is there any way in which he can be made clean?
60267{ 198} What is this veil which obscures the cross of Jesus Christ and makes his Passion of no effect?
60267{ 206} Now, what is the truth which these services have it for their object to impress upon our minds?
60267{ 215} And what is the remedy for this dread?
60267{ 21} Why was it that he made such a strange choice?
60267{ 222} But what would you think if those gifts of the kind father served only to estrange from him the heart of his child?
60267{ 225} What is this peace?
60267{ 24} But would our Saviour be able to praise us so highly, my brethren, if he should come down now in our midst?
60267{ 253} What is the first thing to be done to begin to live in this way?
60267{ 256} Or, lastly, is the reason for their disappointment that they were praying for others whose will was obstinately set against their prayers?
60267{ 260} For how could they have made the purpose of amendment which a good confession requires?
60267{ 277} And why seest thou the mote in thy brother''s eye, but the beam that is in thy own eye thou considerest not?
60267{ 283} How did they understand him?
60267{ 284} Do we truly hope that this sad fate will not be ours?
60267{ 289} How would you like to have yourself thrust aside and one of them called by the Lord to take your place at his table?
60267{ 28} Now what was it that the pope did in defining the Immaculate Conception?
60267{ 340} What are the deeds of the flesh?
60267{ 341} Is it really so hard as it seems?
60267{ 346} What, then, shall be our hope?
60267{ 353} Who are they?
60267{ 35} Now, how is this"way of the Lord"to be"made straight"in the spiritual desert of our hearts?
60267{ 361} Suppose that your child is sick, what is your first word in the morning?
60267{ 381} Are not all men creatures of God?
60267{ 387} And Jesus answering, said: Were there not ten made clean?
60267{ 396} And which of you by thinking can add to his stature one cubit?
60267{ 397} Yet, brethren, is not the whole Christian world absorbed in seeking after what should be the heathen''s peculiar treasure?
60267{ 39} What is this root of sin in us?
60267{ 400} But somebody might say, How about the love of God?
60267{ 402} What does our Lord mean by this, my brethren?
60267{ 403} But I seem to hear some one say,"Father, are you not pushing this matter rather too far?
60267{ 411} But, some one might say, what if your child has got beyond you and will be bad in spite of every best endeavor on your part-- what then?
60267{ 419} Another says: Brains is the standard; good clothes and social position-- what are they but miserable vanity and prejudice?
60267{ 42} What is the reason of all this failure of what began so well?
60267{ 433} Do I oblige them to come to Mass and approach the sacraments, while I neglect these duties myself?
60267{ 436} Have you never seen a blind man whose eyes seemed perfectly good, clear, and bright, and yet utterly blind?
60267{ 451} And what is the harm?
60267{ 57} What is it to bring up children to burn in the flames of hell for ever, as some Christian parents do?
60267{ 67} And his mother said to him: Son, why hast thou done so to us?
60267{ 78} Do I say this is strange?
60267{ 83} Well, brethren, let us ask if Almighty God has not set up any particular sign of reverence that we are to pay him?
60267{ 88} Will He, then, who has done so much for us, not complete his work?
60267{ 98} Can you stand up and with a clean heart proclaim that this is honest?
58812Can that be the true preaching of''the Word''where the language of that Word so seldom enters in?
58812Can two walk together,says Holy Scripture,"and not be agreed?"
58812Could that be the true preaching of''Christ, and Him crucified,''where any mention of the simple gospel story was almost systematically shut out?
58812Dost Thou not hear,the demon once more cries out impatiently--"Dost thou not hear what the angel says?
58812Is there really a way through this world to heaven? 58812 Jesus saith to her: Woman why weepest thou?
58812O my Divine Spouse,she said,"where wast thou when I was enduring these conflicts?"
58812What is that to thee? 58812 What is that to thee?"
58812What shall I offer to the Lord that is worthy? 58812 What was it they were required to do?
58812What, with all these filthy abominations?
58812Why stand ye all the day idle?
58812Why stand ye all the day idle?
58812Why stand ye here all the day idle?
58812Why stand ye here all the day idle?
58812_ How can this man give us his flesh to eat?_they said.
58812_ What shall I offer to the Lord that is worthy? 58812 _ What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?"
58812_ What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?_Will you sin against your own soul?
58812_ What shall it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his own soul?_Will you sin against your own soul?
58812_ What shall we say then to these things? 58812 _ Who shall stand to see Him?
58812_ Why weepest thou? 58812 _ Woman why weepest thou?
58812( a cousin of mine, who is an Episcopalian clergyman) do the same thing?"
588123:] Why does the winter come upon us with desolation and storm?
58812A man approaches, and addresses Magdelene in the same words that the angels had used:"Woman, why weepest thou?
58812After all, what has she done?
58812Alone, or only with a feeble woman like herself, she goes out late at night, and whither?
58812And are there not some who do this?
58812And are we now really doing any thing for heaven?
58812And by what law is he to be tried?
58812And for what have you done all this?
58812And has not God promised to protect the orphan?
58812And how does our Lord answer her?
58812And if merely to think about God in this life can make us so happy, what must it be to see Him in the life to come?
58812And if not, why are Roman Catholic bishops schismatical intruders in London and New- York?
58812And if the soul is so beautiful in the little rays that escape from the body, what must it be in itself?
58812And is He not present to you as truly as if you saw Him, hearing each imprecation and blasphemy which you utter?
58812And is it so?
58812And is it, then, not credible?
58812And is it, then, only God for whom we are unwilling to do any thing hard?
58812And is not this our crime, that we are idlers and triflers in religion?
58812And is there any thing in this joy and confidence which reason or Christianity would condemn?
58812And oh, are the judgments of God so strict?
58812And that precious soul of yours, before which all the wealth of the world is but worthless dross with what care have you kept that?
58812And the disciples seeing it, wondered, saying: How is it presently withered away?_"[ Footnote 86][ Footnote 86: St. Matt.
58812And the soldiers asked him, saying:"And what shall_ we_ do?"
58812And they spoke to her:"Woman, why weepest thou?
58812And what does that mass think of the Catholic Church?
58812And what is that?
58812And what is to secure you from dying in such a state?
58812And what we do willingly for the world, for our families, for our health, our pleasure, our sins, shall we refuse to do for the great and good God?
58812And when He comes to judgment will not the stars fall from the sky and the heavens be parted as a scroll?
58812And why was all this?
58812And why?
58812And why?
58812And would you attribute conduct so disgraceful among men to our Father in heaven?
58812Are all our real sorrows removed or alleviated by the resurrection of Christ?
58812Are not all times alike to God?
58812Are our faces, my brethren, turned toward the heavenly city?
58812Are the Anglican bishops in these places schismatical intruders or not?
58812Are the stars inhabited?
58812Are there any here to- night in mortal sin?
58812Are there few or many that will be saved?
58812Are there none of you, my brethren, who recognise this as the secret language of your hearts?
58812Are these children faithful Catholics?
58812Are these orgies meant to insult the dead?
58812Are these wishes executed?
58812Are we as faithful to pray for our departed friends, and to get prayers said for them?
58812Are we hastening thither, acknowledging ourselves strangers and pilgrims on the earth?
58812Are we left to our own fancyings and feelings to decide whether we are pardoned or not?
58812Are we living the lives God intended us to live?
58812Are we not afraid of wounding your pride, of alienating your affections?
58812Are we not too apt to speak so of the work of an opponent?
58812Are we really redeeming the past by a true penance?
58812Are we to have no interest, no feeling for each other?
58812Are you distressed and suffering?
58812Are you in doubt about religious truth?
58812Are you in sin?
58812Are you in sin?
58812Are you leading a tepid, imperfect life?
58812Are you not afraid of His vengeance Whom you have offended?
58812Are you not ready to condemn him yourselves to hell?
58812Are you old?
58812Are you sorely tempted to sin?
58812Are you spending your time as you would wish to spend the last year of your life?
58812Are you willing to practise what you do believe?
58812Are you young?
58812Art thou guilty?
58812Art thou in sin after baptism?
58812Art thou sad and lonely?
58812Art thou weak?
58812As he was on his way, St. Laurence followed him weeping and saying:"Father where are you going without your son?
58812As heaven fills up with saints flaming with love, He says,"Whence are these?
58812As reasonable men, I have appealed to you: what is your decision?
58812Ask the Gospel, Who is that servant whom his Lord at His coming will approve?
58812Ask the Psalmist who of us shall see heaven, and he will answer you,"_ Lord, who shall dwell in Thy tabernacle, or who shall rest on Thy holy hill?
58812But do you think we have none of the charity of the Angels?
58812But does this law reach also to the supernatural world?
58812But how can they turn away from Catholicity as it is expressed by the great saints of the Church?
58812But how did you come by that belief?
58812But how does he believe you?
58812But how will you bear the taunts and jeers of the devil and his angels?
58812But is it not necessary to go to communion?
58812But some of you may say, why tell us this?
58812But suppose these evil temptations are importunate, and remain in the soul even when we resist them, and try to turn from them?
58812But the question with many will be, is it possible to attain it?
58812But when?
58812But who are those young people, that young man and young woman?
58812But why is this necessary?
58812But, it may be asked, does man need a revelation on this point?
58812By what means can I be united to Christ?
58812By what way is light spread, and heat divided on the earth?
58812Can God remain united to the soul which has cast Him off by an act of complete and formal rebellion?
58812Can He be very much displeased at my follies?
58812Can He care what my religious belief is?
58812Can He speak, and you go on as if He had not spoken?
58812Can Jesus Christ resist such an appeal?
58812Can there be any thing more dreadful still?
58812Can there be hope for one like that?
58812Can we doubt to what effect our Saviour would have answered?
58812Can we not believe Jesus Christ?
58812Can we say,"I am fulfilling the requirements of my conscience, in the standard which I propose to myself?"
58812Can you blame her for weeping, as she looks, for the last time, on that dear form?
58812Can you carry away a heavy corpse?
58812Can you doubt His power?
58812Can you doubt His truth?
58812Can you pick and choose among His doctrines, and take up one and reject another?
58812Can you, then, innocently refuse to listen?
58812Could any thing He had made escape His knowledge, or any sorrow fail to awaken His compassion?
58812Cut it down therefore; why doth it take up the ground?
58812Did God require to be reminded of the woes and wants of any child of man, by the sympathizing cries of his fellow- creatures?
58812Did He not manifest Himself to the patriarchs?
58812Did His words ever so abide in any heart as in hers?
58812Did any remain in Christ as she did?
58812Did he not speak face to face with Moses?
58812Did it not carry them through fire and sword?
58812Did it not enable them to meet death with joy?
58812Did not our Lord love his Mother?
58812Did not the sun hide its face at the crucifixon of our Lord, and the earth tremble under His Cross?
58812Did the sad news of the daughter''s death go out to the poor mother in the old country, softened with the evidence of that daughter''s piety and love?
58812Did they ever look at a crucifix, or read the story of the Passion?
58812Did you hear that howl?
58812Do these revellers wish to make us believe that their departed friend was, body and soul, the child of Hell as much as they?
58812Do they know in whose name they are baptized?
58812Do we not, like the Pharisees, give an undue value to outward observances?
58812Do you ask me to what I allude?
58812Do you ask me what has been done for your souls?
58812Do you ask me what has been done for your souls?
58812Do you ask what has been done for your souls?
58812Do you hear this, O sinner?
58812Do you hear this, my brethren?
58812Do you judge of a man as you do of a horse or a dog?
58812Do you think that poor widow of whom the Gospel speaks to- day could help weeping?
58812Do you want a better worship than that which His Eternal Son offers?
58812Do you want to have faith?
58812Do you want to know what a mortal sin is?
58812Do you wish to advance in a good life?
58812Do you wish to die with that veil not taken away?
58812Do you wish to go before God as careless and as sensual as you are now?
58812Do you wish to know how to advance in God''s love?
58812Docs she not run a thousand risks?
58812Does God this night see in this church some heart that is in mortal sin?
58812Does it not look like me?
58812Does not Nature sympathize with man?
58812Does not Scripture itself fashion out for her the glorious throne on which the Catholic Church places her?
58812Does not every creature groan and travail for our redemption?
58812Does not the very word, God, mean something different to us from what it does to a saint?
58812Does sin wage a war against you?
58812Does the Bible teach us this?
58812Does the Catholic Church, as you understand it, come up to these descriptions?
58812Does the world allure thee?
58812Dost thou ask the way back to God?
58812Dost thou know the order of heaven, and canst thou set down the reason thereof on the earth?
58812Dost thou wish to know the life thou must practise?
58812Dost thou wish to know where thou wilt gain strength to keep these laws?
58812Even supposing she reaches the place in safety, will she be permitted to approach the grave?
58812For a momentary gratification of appetite?
58812For what are they but the evidences of the greatness of our religion?
58812God is immutable, and yet He is perfectly free: who shall reconcile these together?
58812Grant that yon are not bound to do precisely what they did, are you at liberty to do nothing?
58812Had not St. Paul and St. Peter influence enough with Heaven to carry their wants directly to the throne of grace?
58812Has Christianity, then, accomplished the results that might have been looked for?
58812Has Jesus Christ always been so near me?
58812Has an angel spoken to him, as of old to the prophet Zacharias?
58812Has he seen a vision?
58812Has it awakened you to new life, new hopes, new aspirations?
58812Has it been a task to you to listen to the sermon?
58812Has not God given His revelation complete credibility?
58812Has not St. Magdalene preached an Easter sermon?
58812Has not the solitary place been made glad by the hymns of its anchorites, and the desert blossomed like a rose under their toil?
58812Has that debt been paid?
58812Has the grace of God also its seasons and its times?
58812Have my guardian angel and the demon that has tempted me been always in this very room?
58812Have not empires owned its sway, and kings come bending to seek its blessings?
58812Have not millions of martyrs loved it better than their lives?
58812Have you a secret sorrow?
58812Have you been critical and captious?
58812Have you found me wanting to my duty?
58812Have you kept it as your most sacred treasure?
58812Have you sought only to be amused?
58812Have you valued that soul of yours?
58812Have you, my brethren, so regarded yourselves?
58812He asks:"Is this binding under mortal sin?
58812He had his little trials, but what was it all-- what was poverty or sickness or disappointment?
58812He listens, and asks,"May I believe this?"
58812He says:"Offer it now to thy prince, will_ he_ be pleased with it, or will_ he_ regard thy face?"
58812He whom they loved and trusted is no more; and they, whither shall they go?
58812Hear the Holy Ghost, Himself interpret it:"_ The voice said, cry; and I said, what shall I cry?
58812How can I describe to you the change that takes place in that moment?
58812How can a person"abjure the Catholic Communion"at Rome, by joining that which is confessedly the principal branch of the Catholic Church?
58812How can it be otherwise?
58812How can there be the guilt of apostasy involved in such an act?
58812How could she go fast?
58812How did he prepare men for the coming of Christ?
58812How did the Blessed Virgin arrive at such glory?
58812How did this happen?
58812How do men act about religion?
58812How does it come to pass that there are those two principles within us?
58812How has it been with each of you?
58812How much of good, then, has been and is in the world?
58812How must, then, a man forget himself whose occupation is more secular?
58812How old is the earth which we inhabit?
58812How shall we abide His coming, my brethren I how shall we prepare to meet Him?
58812How shall we express the thoughts of Him that fill our souls?
58812How shall we worship Him?
58812How were they to preserve the continuity of organization and the apostolic succession?
58812How will men attain that which they do not care for, to which they give no thought?
58812I err by excess or defect in my conduct; I bring evil on myself it is true; but what difference can that make to the Supreme Being?
58812I know there are times when every man has felt the words of the Psalmist:"_ What have I in heaven?
58812If God be for us, who shall be against us?
58812If He did, who of us could be saved?
58812If no rule obliges you to spend the night in prayer, are you not obliged to pray often?
58812If not, why not?
58812If she had not believed, if she had not assented, what would have come of it?
58812If we look back at our own lives, do we not see that we have had our special times when Christ visited us?
58812If you are not called to forego all innocent pleasures, are you exempt from every sort of self- denial?
58812If you are not required to flee from your homes, are you not required to forsake the occasions of sin?
58812If you can be chaste in the presence of a virtuous female, why can you not be chaste everywhere?
58812If you can be honest when the eye of man is on you, why can you not be honest when no eye sees you but that of God?
58812In a family, who is so much loved as the one whose thoughts are all for others?
58812In the first place, then, what is the source and nature of the conflict thus indicated by our Lord?
58812In the sense in which the teaching of an uninspired man can be so designated, have you thus listened to the preacher''s words?
58812In what consists the beauty of a man?
58812In what house, indeed, is the family unbroken?
58812In what, then, does our Lord''s Priesthood since His Crucifixion consist?
58812Is Catholic truth, as you appropriate it, so high and glorious a thing as this?
58812Is confession difficult?
58812Is it a light thing that could have bound Me to this cross?
58812Is it a light thing that could have reduced Me to such a state of woe?
58812Is it a mere prejudice that melts before investigation?
58812Is it a mere regularity of form and feature?
58812Is it a stupid fanaticism?
58812Is it hard to bear the remarks of companions?
58812Is it hard to lose a little gain?
58812Is it not a failure?
58812Is it not a story to make one weep?
58812Is it not an unconscious acknowledgment of the presence of God?
58812Is it not superstition?
58812Is it not very caustic?
58812Is it now safe and secure?
58812Is not God always ready to save the sinner, and to bestow the graces necessary to his salvation?
58812Is not faith an act purely intellectual?
58812Is not his fall certain?
58812Is not his presence an offence?
58812Is not the earth for the elect?
58812Is not the natural reason and the natural conscience sufficient to tell us that sin is wrong?
58812Is not this to betray the souls of his own children?
58812Is she not afraid?
58812Is that boy, the object of a mother''s dying tears and prayers, regular at the sacraments?
58812Is that principle so deeply seated in our nature to have no play in Christianity?
58812Is that what you will be punished for?
58812Is the return we are actually making such as He deserves?
58812Is there no trouble in your conscience?
58812Is there not an impression in your minds that the law of God is too strict, or at least that it is too strict for you, and that you can not keep it?
58812Is there nothing frightful to you in a sleepless night, or a sickbed?
58812Is this question answered in the affirmative?
58812Is thy heart weary and inconstant?
58812It is true there are candles and holy water, but where are the pious prayers?
58812Listen to the description which God Himself gives of the results of the gospel:"_ Who are these, that fly as clouds, and as doves to their windows?
58812Look at it; see if it does not belong to me?
58812Mary, dost thou not remember My words-- My promise-- that I would rise again?
58812Mary,--dost thou not believe My angels, bearing testimony to My Resurrection?
58812May He not dishonor it?
58812May he not falsify his message?
58812May we not worship God at home just as well?
58812Me, the Creator of all things, to whom you owe all life and liberty?
58812Men do not ask:"What shall I do to be saved?"
58812Merely because he saw Him with his bodily eyes?
58812Must I forever despair?"
58812Must we go trembling all our days, and be terror- stricken at the hour of death?
58812No matter: are you willing to serve God with a cold heart?
58812No matter: you know what is right; are you willing to do it?
58812Now, amid such ceaseless controversies, what means has our Lord left to protect and defend His people from doubt and error?
58812Now, can salvation be a work so serious to them and so trivial for us?
58812Now, how did these things happen?
58812Now, if she did not merit heaven by becoming the Mother of God, how did she merit it?
58812Now, if you can stop cursing before the priest, why can you not before your wife and children?
58812Now, supposing the offence they take to be justly taken, which is not always the case, what does it prove?
58812Now, to these persons it is a question of the most pressing urgency,"Am I now as I would wish to be when I die?
58812Now, what else could be the result of all this, but a disesteem of Christianity itself?
58812Now, what is all this?
58812Now, what is the blight that destroys all their goodness?
58812Now, what takes place under such circumstances?
58812Now, what was it all about?
58812Now, whence comes this deep and fixed certainty in religion?
58812Now, who can tell us in practice when we have arrived at the limit of venial sin, when we have passed beyond it and are in mortal sin?
58812Now, who does not see here the realization and fulfilment of the great promise of Christ which I have quoted as my text?
58812Now, why is this?
58812Now, why was this?
58812Now, will you tell me that you can not help doing what the martyrs would not do to save them from death?
58812O Dwight, what is there in such a situation to make one remain in it, if one could conscientiously leave it?
58812O my brethren, is the service you are rendering Him at all worthy of Him?
58812O my brethren, need I say more?
58812O my brethren, why do we grovel on earth, when we might have our conversation in heaven?
58812O thou who art afflicted, tossed with tempests and not comforted, what dost thou want?--what wouldst thou have?
58812Of whom it can be said literally,"Whatever thou askest of Me I will do it,"because the condition of union with God is perfectly fulfilled?
58812Oh, why did not the priest speak of this?
58812On the principle of a Protestant, or a Catholic?
58812On the principle of private judgment, or on faith in an infallible authority?
58812One of the strongest things that St. Paul said in his defence before Agrippa was the appeal:"_ King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets?
58812Or has it a reasonable basis, and are its foundations deep in the laws of the human mind?
58812Or that married woman who has stepped aside from the path of virtue, did she realize what she was doing?
58812Or, acknowledging the truth you have heard, have you been careless about putting it in practice?
58812Or, if it did, was the intercession of Christ insufficient that any other had to be called in to supplicate?
58812Or, is that sympathy to be a barren sentiment, and to have no results?
58812Or, like Abel, shall we take the firstlings of our flocks, and slay them in His honor?
58812Or, like the Indian devotee, shall we throw ourselves under the wheels of the car that carries the image of the Divinity?
58812Qu.--How many parts are there in a Sacrament?
58812Qu.--What are the benefits whereof we are partakers thereby?
58812Qu.--What is the inward part, or thing signified?
58812Qu.--What is the outward part or sign of the Lord''s Supper?
58812Shall I bring them up?"
58812Shall I give my first- born for my wickedness, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?_"[ Footnote 97][ Footnote 97: Mich. vi.
58812Shall I never see Jesus Christ again?
58812Shall I offer holocausts unto Him, and calves of a year old?
58812Shall she wait to see Him?
58812Shall there be no sympathy between us?
58812Shall we dress an altar, and pile upon it the smoking victims?
58812Shall we make our children pass through the fire in His Name?
58812Shall we never, after we have sinned, have again the assurance that we are pardoned?
58812Shall we never_ hear_ that sweet consoling word:"_ Go in peace, thy sins are forgiven thee?_"Yes, Christ is risen.
58812Shall we not feel an ample respect for each other, my brethren, when we think of what we are?
58812Shall we, like Cain, gather the fairest fruits and flowers, and bring the basket before the Lord?
58812Should our lives be cut off at this moment, of what kind of texture would they be found?
58812So, I ask you, who are you?
58812Some Catholic who has renounced, if not his faith, at least the practice of his faith?
58812Such a friend?
58812Suppose I am in mortal sin, how can I be forgiven?
58812Suppose it is: may not the wind be speaking for the dead?
58812Suppose you do refuse to listen to the warnings which Death suggests, are you therefore free from anxiety?
58812Surely it is as a Catholic he believes?
58812Tell me, O my brethren, did you not, when you were deeply plunged in sinful enjoyment, feel a dreadful pang at your heart?
58812Tell me, did you not at the moment you sinned hear a stern voice speaking in the depths of your heart?
58812Tell me, now that you stand in God''s holy presence, tell me now, is there not something within you that tells you, you are ruined?
58812Tell me, tell me, young men, tell me, children, tell me truly, one and all, what have been the happiest moments of your life?
58812That duty is irksome; is it a great matter if I omit it now and then?"
58812The heart asks,"What is to become of the body that I loved so much?"
58812The only question is, how is it to be attained?
58812The people came to him and asked him,"What shall we do?"
58812Then the officers of the custom came and asked:"What shall_ we_ do?
58812Then, who are the Catholic bishops in Canada, Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, Texas, and California?
58812They died rather than lift a hand to do a forbidden thing; have you not the same power over your hand that they had?
58812This being so, how is it possible for a man of real merit to remain long unrecognized?
58812This being so, is not her power of intercession fixed beyond dispute?
58812This is the practical question for each one of us: To which of these classes do I belong?
58812This is what the Psalmist expresses so beautifully:"_ Whither shall I go from Thy spirit?
58812To commence with the commencement, then, what shall I say of Trinity Church?
58812To go hence"with the sign of faith,"with the blessing of the Mother of Saints upon you, and the grace of her sacraments within your heart?
58812To have the body of the dead taken away from us, is not that a grief?
58812Upon what are its bases grounded?
58812Very well; but how were they required to deny Christ?
58812Was He not disposed to be obedient to her as his mother?
58812Was he not a Christian?
58812Was he not a friend of God, was not his soul beautiful in God''s sight?
58812Was it for this that He hung on the cross, that_ only now and then_ we should omit some important duty?
58812Was it for this that He sweat those great drops of blood, that we should live a slothful and irreligous life?
58812Was it the hour of some earthly success or triumph?
58812Was it the moments you have spent in sin?
58812Was not God''s own heart as large as theirs?
58812Was not the way of access to God open and easy for every one?
58812Was there ever love like this?
58812Well, is it not better to feel that this life is a state of exile?
58812What aileth thee, O sea, tossed and driven with the waves?
58812What are all the attainments of learned men to Him who is all- wise?
58812What are all the conceptions of genius to Him who is all- beautiful, or the moral excellencies of good men to Him who is all- holy?
58812What are those duties?
58812What are you?
58812What but sin?
58812What could hinder me from being a Roman Catholic but for the fear of doing wrong?
58812What devotion to pleasure?
58812What did they want with Christ?
58812What did you think of Mr. Bennett''s course?
58812What does it matter?
58812What does it mean?
58812What does reason, what does conscience, what does self- interest say?
58812What does the Holy Scripture say?
58812What does the Holy Scripture say?
58812What does the Scripture say?
58812What does this mean?
58812What excessive anxiety about this world?
58812What grief is there that I have not removed?"
58812What has He not done for you?
58812What has gathered these crowds of busy, practical men?
58812What have our past lives been?
58812What is it that has destroyed the peace of so many families?
58812What is it that has happened?
58812What is it that has ruined so many reputations, that once were fair and unblemished?
58812What is it, then, that gives such interest to this scene?
58812What is that reason?
58812What is that sacrifice?
58812What is that worship?
58812What is that?
58812What is the cause of much of the sickness that affects our race?
58812What is the cause of these convulsions of nature, and this terror of the people?
58812What is the end for which God created us?
58812What is the event that can interrupt the great harmonies of Heaven, and furnish the Angels with a new song?
58812What is the history of this universe?
58812What is the meaning of this?
58812What is the point of this observation?
58812What is the reason that Christian art has so far surpassed heathen art?
58812What is the reason that every thing thus honors you?
58812What is the sound that reaches us to- day?
58812What is there, in the act of believing or disbelieving, that is of a moral nature, that deserves praise or blame?
58812What is thy misery?
58812What is thy sorrow?
58812What is thy trial?
58812What keeps them kneeling, or standing quietly in solid masses, for an hour before the exercises commence?
58812What kind of a death naturally follows such a life?
58812What kind of creature is that which renders to God a reluctant and imperfect service?
58812What long periods of utter forgetfulness of God?
58812What loss of time?
58812What makes the character of a mother so beautiful but the trait of self- sacrifice?
58812What more can we want?
58812What must be the wickedness that can force Me to withstand the power of such an appeal?"
58812What need for me to know the very words the priest is using?
58812What of that?
58812What other preacher can say the same words again and again, and never make us weary?
58812What shall it then profit me what others have said in my favor or against me?
58812What shall keep me back?
58812What shall we do?
58812What then?
58812What though many refuse to listen?
58812What was he then?
58812What was his office?
58812What was it that took place on the Cross?
58812What will become of my companions whom I left on the earth, wild and reckless like my self?
58812What wonder is it that men have imagined Fortune to be blindfold[ed], and the ups and downs of life the chance revolutions of her wheel?
58812What would a master do if his slave should strike him?
58812What years spent in neglect, or even in sin?
58812What, then, delayed St. Mary Magdalene so long?
58812What, then, is God''s estimate of sin?
58812What, then, should be each one''s resolution?
58812When did we shut our hearts to Thy grace?"
58812When it speaks of a"way"to heaven, does it not mean that all must walk in that way to reach there?
58812When you come to die, will you not wish to have those sins blotted out?
58812Whence does it arise?
58812Where are such tears shed as over the fresh grave of a self- forgetful friend?
58812Where is there not a vacant seat at the table?
58812Where were they to get bishops?
58812Wherewith shall I kneel before the High God?
58812Wherewith shall I kneel before the High God?"
58812Which of the saints was ever wafted to heaven in this passive way?
58812Which was the acceptable sacrifice?
58812Which was the place where men ought to worship-- Mount Gerazin; or Mount Sion?
58812Which was the right temple?
58812While gratitude lives among men, what shall be the return given to Christ by those whom He has redeemed?
58812Whither are you going, O holy priest, without your deacon?
58812Who are they that are truly happy on this day?
58812Who are they?
58812Who are we?
58812Who but He knew how perfectly to mingle dignity with familiarity, zeal with serenity, and austerity with compassion?
58812Who can give peace to a soul that has sinned?
58812Who can tell how many are living in a state of mortal sin, month by month, day by day, year by year?
58812Who could ever speak an impure word before another if he thought of the dignity of a human soul?
58812Who could listen to His voice in its untempered majesty and not be afraid?
58812Who does not admire a generous, self- sacrificing man?
58812Who is Christ?
58812Who is he that shall condemn?
58812Who is that, that is standing at the foot of his bed?
58812Who is that?
58812Who is the father of the rain, or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
58812Who is there that needs to be told that the Blessed Virgin is splendid in sanctity, dazzling in beauty, and exalted in power?
58812Who makes any sacrifice for it?
58812Who of us does not know such?
58812Who of us has not lost a friend?
58812Who of us has not seen such?
58812Who shall lay anything to the charge of the elect of God?

58812Who will dare to break the seal?
58812Who will roll the stone from the door?
58812Who would lie, or cheat, or steal, if he thought of his soul?
58812Who, I say, can wonder at this, when he looks around him, and sees how little the soul is valued?
58812Who, then, shall be the favored child of man, the favored saint, who shall exercise this power in the fullest degree?
58812Whom seekest thou?"
58812Whom seekest thou?"
58812Whom seekest thou?_"He challenges us.
58812Whom seekest thou?_"These are the first words our Lord spoke after His Resurrection.
58812Whose tones are there that linger in our ears like His, and come like a spell to our hearts in times of temptation and sorrow?
58812Why are men so slow to be wise, and to be happy?
58812Why are the angel and the demon there?
58812Why are we not more active in laboring for them?
58812Why are we so weak in temptation, so despairing in trial, when we might have the peace and joy of the children of God?
58812Why are you not religious?"
58812Why did our Lord become man?
58812Why did you rush into the presence of your Maker without forethought?
58812Why do men grope in darkness?
58812Why do not men take advantage of this loving condescension?
58812Why do summer and winter, seed- time and harvest, return so regularly?
58812Why do they not converse with God?
58812Why do they not think of Him?
58812Why do we follow the Evil One, when He that is beautiful above the sons of men is our Master and our Lord?
58812Why do we not take our place at once, where we shall wish to be found at our Saviour''s coming?
58812Why do we set our hearts on creatures, when we might have the Creator for our friend?
58812Why does He come at all to consciences which do not crave rest, and wills that need no strength?
58812Why does he interrupt the Mass?
58812Why does our Lord leave us subject to this strife?
58812Why does the sun rise in the morning, and go down at night?
58812Why dost thou seek the living among the dead?"
58812Why has not the sound of the gospel gone into all lands, and its words to the end of the world?
58812Why is Jesus Christ there?
58812Why is it always thus?
58812Why is it that the just man perisheth?
58812Why is this?
58812Why is this?
58812Why should their influence be dreaded?
58812Why should we fear?
58812Why should we shut our eyes to the hosts of heaven that march unseen by our side?
58812Why so?
58812Why stand we all the day idle?
58812Why tarry we here in the bondage of Egypt?
58812Why, then, do they commit it?
58812Why, who are you, my brethren?
58812Will He be appeased with thousands of rams?
58812Will His serene Majesty in heaven be affected because I on this earth am carried too far by passions?
58812Will not a careless, thoughtless man, such as I have described, will he not be certain sometimes to go over the fatal line?
58812Will those misgivings help you to die easily?
58812Will you grieve because he has secured for himself the Blissful and Eternal Vision of God?
58812Will you renounce your birthright?
58812Will you tell me they were but seeking a_ more perfect_ life?
58812Will you then forego as you do now those absolving words which our Lord has promised to ratify in heaven?
58812Will you trust all to the uncertain chance of confession in that hour, or to a doubtful contrition?
58812Will you wait, as your Protestantism requires you to do, till he is grown up, for him to form his religious convictions?
58812Will you weep because one you love is taken away from sin, from temptation, from the trouble to come?
58812Will you, by mortal sin, throw away that immortal crown?
58812Will you, by sin, take the course that leads you away from your heavenly home?
58812Wilt thou take a soul like that and place it in thy paradise?"
58812Would it not be taken as an act of contempt and an offence?
58812Would it not be the same, if he were to close His eyes, and yet be aware of His presence?
58812Would it not seem, otherwise, that God made Himself a party to our sins by keeping silence?
58812Would men speak so, if they realized that God and Christ were then and there present?
58812Would they insult God to His face?
58812Would you excuse a son from the guilt of parricide who should strike a knife to his father''s heart, and should miss his aim?
58812Would you know Who it is Whom you have offended?
58812Would you know what the Autumn teaches?
58812Would you know who, at the end of the world, shall reap a rich harvest?
58812Would you not like, as you go out of this world, to step on the firm rock of Peter?
58812Would you not, like St. John, fall down before his feet and adore him?
58812Yet what was the result of all?
58812You were not wo nt to offer sacrifice without me your minister, wherein have I displeased you?
58812[ Footnote 121] Who could look upon the Lord and live?
58812[ Footnote 217] Do you understand?
58812a sure, clear, easy way?"
58812and are not we too called the"_ Sons of God?_"[ Footnote 208][ Footnote 203: Apoc.
58812and are not we too promised a place at his right hand, and to"_ sit on thrones?_"[ Footnote 204] Is she called the"Morning Star?"
58812and are not we too promised a place at his right hand, and to"_ sit on thrones?_"[ Footnote 204] Is she called the"Morning Star?"
58812and besides Thee what do I desire upon earth?
58812and does not our Lord''s question convey to us the keenest reproach?
58812and who are my brethren?
58812and who hath begotten them?"
58812and why did He become Man in the way He did?
58812are you not afraid to add to the sin of irreligion and injustice the crime of breaking faith with the dead?
58812are you not ashamed to do that before the living God which you would be ashamed to do before a man like yourself?"
58812are you sick?
58812can I, a frail creature,"say they,"ignorant and passionate, can I do an injury to God?
58812does he breathe at all?
58812for Christ our Saviour, who did not refuse the Cross to give us an example of the obedience we owe His Father?
58812has not the demon made out his case?
58812he will say, what is this that I see and hear?
58812how can men turn away from Catholicity?
58812if you will not listen to reason, to God, to the angels; will you not listen to your companions lost?
58812is he not a blot on the scene?
58812is not this our misery, that we have left off striving?
58812is this Christianity?
58812it is hard to see one we love die, but is it not harder to our sensitive nature to bury them?
58812my brethren, is not this joy?
58812or was the money retained and squandered?
58812or whither shall I flee from Thy face?
58812or who laid the corner- stone thereof?
58812or will He separate Himself from me eternally because I have happened to violate some law?"
58812our times of grace?
58812red- letter days in the calendar of our life?
58812saved by''sprinkling?'']
58812shall I do this wicked thing, and offend against God?"
58812so prompt and eager in setting out, so tardy in arriving?
58812that the Madonna is so far more beautiful than the Venus de Medicis?
58812that the will is too weak to decide this fearful contest?
58812that we are doing nothing, or at least nothing serious and worthy of our salvation?
58812they were but following the counsels of perfection, which a man is free to embrace or decline?
58812what is thy request?
58812what voice is that which speaks:"_ Woman, why weepest thou?_"It is the voice of Jesus himself, of Jesus whom she mourns.
58812what voice is that?
58812what will it be to the sinful Catholic?
58812who do not seek temptation, but invariably yield to it when it comes across them?
58812why did you not think of these things before?
58812would you hear with equanimity that you had a hopeless disease?
58812{ 214} And how do I establish my proposition?
58812{ 217} But have we not cause enough to honor man, in the fact that he has a soul, an immortal soul, a soul which shall one day see God?
58812{ 226} Is it hard to break a tie of long standing?
58812{ 262} Will you draw back, Christian?
58812{ 324} Was it for this that He died, that we should not commit_ quite so many_ mortal sins?
58812{ 328} If you are not bound to a perpetual fast, are you at liberty to darken your mind and inflame your passions by immoderate drinking?
58812{ 334} What is there in this execution thus to gather together all classes of the people?
58812{ 348} What kind of death often, in point of fact, follows such a life?
58812{ 356} Now, must we for ever go on in this uncertainty?
58812{ 359} So, my brethren, as you weep at the graves of your friends, those very friends stand near you and say,"Why weepest thou?"
58812{ 360} Has this day been a day of joy to you?
58812{ 390} Do you say that I put too much on the will?
58812{ 415} Do you ask what has been done for your souls?
58812{ 426} What are the precise obligations binding on me as a Christian?
58812{ 433} What is it that has impressed on men this universal fear of detection?
58812{ 442} They died rather than utter a sinful word; have you not as much power over your tongue as they?
58812{ 452} How does he receive it?
58812{ 465} Do you feel in yourselves a vocation to a religious or sacerdotal life?
58812{ 468} Well, ought you not, then, to rejoice at his safe departure?
58812{ 472} Do you call this a decent funeral?"
58812{ 492} How can we forego that sweet and solemn action?
58812{ 495} And what does all this mean to us?
58812{ 75} Do you know any thing about it?
49618Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
49618Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?
49618Art thou he,asks the King,"that troubleth Israel?"
49618Ave Marias?
49618Can these dry bones live?
49618Come thou and thy family into the ark,--what time could be more opportune than this first day of another year of God''s grace?
49618Have we trials and temptations, is there trouble anywhere?
49618He that spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him freely give us all things?
49618If God,says the apostle,"spared not His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?"
49618If Thou, O Lord, shouldst mark iniquity, O Lord, who shall stand?
49618Is thine eye evil because I am good?
49618Is this vile world a friend to grace to help me on to God?
49618Lovest thou me--is the question,"more than these,"and where is the evidence?
49618Lovest thou_ me_?
49618Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou_ me_?
49618Thou fool, this hour thy soul shall be required of thee,--and how do you know whether the next summons may not mean you?
49618What are you doing?
49618What hast thou that thou hast not received?
49618What is there to confirmation?--teaching children in their teens to confess a faith they do not half comprehend?
49618What shall it profit a man if he should gain the whole world and lose his own soul?
49618What''s the use of going to church? 49618 What''s the use of going to the Lord''s Supper?
49618Which of you,He challenged His enemies,"convinceth me of sin?"
49618Who by searching,asks Job,"can find out God?
49618Who minds a monk? 49618 Why a priest?"
49618Why instruct the juvenile mind in such fetters of theology?
49618--that is, can such an idle, empty faith save him?
49618A man?
49618A more powerful one held him at his mercy; and what could he do to pluck out the sting of death beneath whose dominion he had completely fallen?
49618After our own plans, doing things to suit our own selves?
49618Again, when we are the recipients of gifts, we examine them, we give them careful scrutiny, we desire to know: What is that which we have received?
49618Am I His, or am I not?
49618And Elijah came unto all the people and said, How long halt ye between two opinions?
49618And are the returns adequate to the cost?
49618And are there any happy effects to be realized from the faithful performance of this duty?
49618And by what influences and agencies is His will done on earth but by this organization established by Himself for that purpose,--His holy Church?
49618And by whom, to continue the parable, will the separation be made?
49618And coming to the Reformed Churches, which of them believes in baptismal regeneration, accepts Baptism to be a christening?
49618And did not Abimelech, when about to fall into a like error, offer apology and make restitution?
49618And even granted that everything shall be propitious in that respect, have you ever seen persons on a sick- or death- bed?
49618And has that original scene on the shore of the Sea of Galilee and that question no concern and no application whatever for us?
49618And having regarded the prevalency of the evil eye, what shall we say to it?
49618And he thought within himself, saying, What shall I do, because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?
49618And how can God blame and punish us for not being better than He made us?
49618And how is this done?
49618And how is this vital question to be decided?
49618And how may I know whether my name is inscribed in this book of life?
49618And how shall we observe it?
49618And how will they look?
49618And how?
49618And in consideration of gifts so unspeakable is any offering of gold, or frankincense, or myrrh too large?
49618And in what way, coming to the second consideration, may we overcome this dangerous evil, worldliness?
49618And is Protestantism exempt?
49618And is his appeal not applicable in our own day?
49618And is the Church exempt?
49618And is there a single heart among the sons and daughters of Adam that dare offer remonstrance?
49618And is there a way of escape, as in the case of Egypt''s death and destruction?
49618And is this a sin to think little of?
49618And now let us regard: How should we read it?
49618And now turn to Christ and His Word,--what does it say?
49618And so, if I choose to remunerate these men after the manner that I have, what hurt or worry is that to thee?
49618And that duty-- where does it begin?
49618And that only- begotten Son, did He not love the world when He gave His heart''s blood to redeem it?
49618And the sorry consequence of all this?
49618And then, to conclude, the members of what Church are we?
49618And think you God is pleased with the dregs of the cup, the refuse and few declining years of a man''s life?
49618And this salvation is to be accomplished in what way?
49618And to this brilliancy of light was added a clear and distant voice ringing through the air,"Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou Me?"
49618And to whom, as you examine the Inspired Volume, are most of its contents directed?
49618And we should go borrowing to them, or hesitate to speak a modest word in our favor?
49618And what are they worrying about?
49618And what assurance have you, my youthful hearers, that you may not be among his victims in the succeeding year?
49618And what can you do to rid yourself of this?
49618And what did Jesus see in any of us to lead Him to visit us with His salvation?
49618And what dispensation is made of this light?
49618And what does a careful survey of that hymn- book reveal to us?
49618And what does it possess?
49618And what does that teach those of maturer years?
49618And what does the disciple reply?
49618And what is it?
49618And what is more God- honoring?
49618And what is that arrangement in respect to the future?
49618And what is the superstructure?
49618And what is to be done, with the scales always rising higher and higher and striking the very beam?
49618And what is to be done?
49618And what sort of a life is it?
49618And what teaching?
49618And what was the decision?
49618And what was the nature of his offense?
49618And what was there in it that is common to every case?
49618And what will that destiny be?
49618And what-- to consider the second and larger part of our discourse-- are some of the distinguishing traits of its members?
49618And when it comes to the New Testament,--how are we to understand the conception of the virgin birth of our Savior?
49618And when the Pharisees saw it, they said unto His disciples, Why eateth your Master with publicans and sinners?
49618And whence was deliverance to come?
49618And which are these lessons, and how may this enemy be overcome?
49618And which are these?
49618And which is it?
49618And which is our spiritual sword?
49618And who can resign himself to sleep, the emblem of death, and to his bed, the type of his grave, without saying a few words of Christian committal?
49618And who has not heard and read of the Romans and the ancient Egyptians and Persians?
49618And who is not bent with grief as he reads of David and of Solomon?
49618And who is to blame?
49618And who, during the day, can not find a few moments to lift up his thoughts on high?
49618And why did He love man?
49618And why is a deserter''s doom made so awful?
49618And why not?
49618And why, brethren, bring before you these solemn truths?
49618And why, to come to our next consideration, why is this?
49618And why-- that is the concluding feature of our contemplation, why has it visited us?
49618And why?
49618And why?
49618And will you contend that the Word of God and the water of Holy Baptism make those who hear and receive it hypocrites and spiritual counterfeits?
49618And yet is it not this ordinary, common- sense method, which they apply so keenly otherwise, that so many disregard in matters of soul?
49618And yet, glorious as this all is, is it not true that the Bible is a book that is shut and sealed?
49618And yet, was there no badge, no mark of distinction?
49618Anything further than that the land was fertile?
49618Are there no formalists among those who profess to be members of, and visit, our churches?
49618Are we to say, I am very sorry, and thus hide our light under a bushel?
49618Are you a man, or woman, of prayer?
49618As you grow in age, do you grow in heavenly- mindedness, draw closer to your God?
49618At present we have all living bodies, but in those living bodies, what is the state of the soul?
49618At such times are we shy of doing differently from other people when we know and feel what is right?
49618At that time it was,"Is Jehovah the Lord God?"
49618Aye, does it not frequently call for courage even to be known as a church- member?
49618Because he was so lovable?
49618Because it solves, as nothing else can solve, the great problem of Religion,"How can man be saved, justified before God?"
49618Believe it that when a man can look up like the man Saul of Tarsus, and say,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?"
49618Beloved, are we not rapidly falling upon such times?
49618Beloved, as to what is the proper ideal and purpose of the Church, that is for Him to say who founded the Church; and what does He say?
49618Beloved, is this not a particular which many who profess to be Christians do not apprehend?
49618Beloved, when you reflect what this world would be without this divine Christmas gift, then we might well ask, Would life be worth living without Him?
49618Below is its gigantic base; then your eye runs up the mountain side, and you see-- what?
49618Bind yourself?
49618But are we quite sure that we have not imbibed a little of it unconsciously?
49618But does he, therefore, desist from completing the structure?
49618But does not the Bible teach that"by one sacrifice,"_ viz._, by His sacrifice upon Golgotha,"Christ hath forever perfected them that are sanctified"?
49618But does not the Church of Rome believe that too?
49618But had the man nevertheless gone back to his sinful life, would that have made the healing of no account?
49618But have those that so feel ever thought it over?
49618But have you, my dear hearers, ever known of a noble and holy work, no matter what it is, that did not meet with some criticism?
49618But how can the lamb cope with the lion?
49618But how do we secure this satisfaction of an almighty Savior?
49618But how was it to be done?
49618But how were those two mites viewed by Him whose eyes were as a flame of fire, and who searcheth the reins and the hearts?
49618But is it not a delusion?
49618But it was now too late, and yet, whose fault was it?
49618But let us ask ourselves, What if everybody around us did not do so?
49618But let us come to the final question: By what power or remedy does Christian Science heal, or, rather, claim to heal?
49618But shall we abandon to him the territory?
49618But since when are silver and gold and splendid edifices the marks of the Church?
49618But these things must be put in their right place; and which is that?
49618But to whose efforts is this mainly due?
49618But what advantage have they over us?
49618But what means that statue at His side-- whose is it?
49618But what of an explanation of these apparently so contradictory passages?
49618But what say the Scriptures?
49618But when it comes to the questions: Who is God?
49618But where is now his vow, where his altar, where the tenth of all his possessions, as he had promised?
49618But whose shall be the blame, who be the loser?
49618But, asks the voice of our text:"Lovest thou me more than these?"
49618But-- what when the entertainment is over, and your wraps carefully labeled with your name are handed back to you?
49618By attending a few services during which we are present in body, but largely absent in spirit?
49618By lighting up a few candles on our trees?
49618By social science and service?
49618By what are they to know each other and to be known of one another?
49618Can any one take coals of fire into his bosom and not be burned, handle pitch and not be soiled?
49618Can any two opinions be more opposite in appearance?
49618Can faith save him?"
49618Can the Church, through its called ministers, forgive sins?
49618Can we think of these things, and not blush at our own selfishness?
49618Can you bear to be thus slain by the Law?
49618Can you bear to be told that, virtuous as many of you may be, you must seek salvation as sinners?
49618Can you bear to have it forced upon you:"Be not conformed to this world"?
49618Coming down the ladder of life, who were the people that murmured against the owner of the vineyard?
49618Could Peter forgive sins?
49618Could it be He?
49618Could it be true that He whom His nation had crucified was indeed the Messiah, risen and alive?
49618Could the apostles forgive sins?
49618Decorating our windows and walls with some sprigs of garlands and green?
49618Desiring to bear our part in that tuneful service, can our lips be silent on earth?
49618Did God actually create man out of the dust of the ground, or is he the creature of evolution?
49618Did He not perform a miracle, turning water into wine?
49618Did he go to labor elsewhere?
49618Did his health fail?
49618Did not Paul love the world?
49618Did the judgment- hall echo the words of the Philippian jailer,"What shall I do to be saved?"
49618Did virtue conquer?
49618Divorce, what is it practically, in effect, but enabling men and women to live in successive polygamy?
49618Do men act with such infatuation in other and far less important matters?
49618Do not most clergymen of progressive ideas put allegorical interpretations upon its stories, for instance, the fall of man into sin?
49618Do not the hymns drag along at times so dull and spiritless because many never open their lips?
49618Do the fruits of your discipleship abound in greater liberality and activity?
49618Do these things not constitute the light of life of man?
49618Do they think they can, as they claim, improve upon, perfect, that propitiatory sacrifice?
49618Do we not read that God so loved the world that He gave His only- begotten Son?
49618Do you influence it, or are you influenced by it?
49618Do you know of none in your circle of acquaintances swept low by the grim reaper whom we call death?
49618Do you make your choice of friends from these professed worldly men and women?
49618Do you pray thoughtfully, regularly, cheerfully?
49618Do you read God''s Word at home, say grace at table, have family devotion?
49618Do you rejoice at His coming with holy joy?
49618Do you, then, belong among the good?
49618Does Baptism work forgiveness of sin?
49618Does it not lie in the very nature of the Book?
49618Does it pay to be one?_ To begin with, let it be noted that Christianity connects with cost; it_ does_ cost to be a Christian.
49618Does it pay?
49618Does it secularize you and make you unfit for prayer?
49618Does it silence your testimony of Christ, and cool down your interest and enthusiasm for the Church?
49618Does one contract good habits easier than bad, or the reverse?
49618Does this doctrine sound strange and hard to believe to the carnal understanding?
49618Education of mind, culture of intellect?
49618Elijah''s question,"How long halt ye between two opinions?"
49618Else why these perplexing anxieties, this tormenting solicitude?
49618For the clergy, that the ministers might have some texts to preach on?
49618For the determining of the question,"Is Jesus Christ God?"
49618For what is a Christian?
49618For what is a man of prayer?
49618For what is man?
49618For what is the Church?
49618For what?
49618For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
49618For whom did He cause it to be written?
49618For you to live-- is it Christ?
49618Formulated by the Lord Himself in the Gospel- lesson of this day, it now reads:"What think ye of Christ?
49618From man?
49618Go, and question among Christ''s followers, consult the thousands of books that are flooding the market,--what do they teach?
49618Has death broken the family circle, and is the heart bleeding under bereavement?
49618Has it ever brought you any gain?
49618Has sickness prostrated one?
49618Has that ever been done, you question?
49618Have I not the right to do as I like with my own money?"
49618Have they forgotten the First Commandment which says:"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness to bow thyself down to them"?
49618Have you ever seen anything but a cross raise men?
49618Have you ever, since connected with this church, made one serious attempt to reclaim an erring brother or sister?
49618Have you grown in grace and in the knowledge of your Lord and Savior?
49618Have you paid the first cost?
49618Have you remained unmarried because some people have proved failures in marriage?
49618He asks:"What doth it profit though a man say he hath faith, and hath not works?
49618He had been persecuting the Christians, and now comes a voice from heaven, saying,"Why persecutest thou Me?"
49618He saith to him the second time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?
49618He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me?
49618He should neglect His loving providence, leave and forsake thee this year?
49618He stands before us this very moment again, that omnipotent Son of God, that compassionate Savior, and asks,"Wilt thou be made whole?"
49618He thought within himself:"What shall I do because I have no room where to bestow my fruits?"
49618Helpless, powerless, hopeless creature, how could he cancel the curse that rested upon soul and body and ailing earth?
49618Here is a man who insures his life,--why?
49618Here was the voice of Jehovah Himself,--what could he do but submit?
49618Here, then, are a few criterions, and now, with all sincerity, repeat the question once more,"Lovest thou me?"
49618His great question was,"What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and lose his soul?"
49618How about God''s Christmas gift?
49618How can I overcome my worldliness?_ And may God''s wisdom and blessing attend our meditation!
49618How can a man be a proper child of God who will not so much as give His name as a believer?
49618How can any one who has looked up to that divine Sufferer in faith crucify Him anew by unholy living?
49618How can faith in the Savior then be wrought, maintained, forgiveness of sins secured, hope and salvation?
49618How can they be?
49618How can they prove that the human race and language do not extend back to one common stock?
49618How can they tell that this world of ours is too small to engage Jehovah so deeply for its welfare?
49618How can we expect to conquer that enemy who conquered our first parents in the strength of their original purity?
49618How can you thus be light- bearers, according to God''s direction?
49618How could He secure it?
49618How could I refuse to shun Every sinful pleasure, Since for me God''s only Son Suffered without measure?
49618How could a man tread upon the waters?
49618How could he tell when he was converted?
49618How could the hearers do this if they were prohibited from reading the Bible?
49618How did they get light?
49618How do you regard the things of the world in your heart, and how do you regard the people of the world?
49618How frequently does this lamentation reach a pastor''s ear,"What have I done that God should thus deal with me?"
49618How has it been with the worship, the attendance at services?
49618How imperative, then, that we should analyze what worldliness is and plant an interrogation in our heart: Am I worldly?
49618How is it possible to work for God, or fight for Him, if we are tardy in holding communion with Him?
49618How is that a proof of Christ''s divinity?
49618How is that to be understood?
49618How is the dispute to be settled?
49618How many a one when he asks himself, How was it possible that I should have fallen so deeply and strayed so far from my God?
49618How many ever give thought as to this providential dealing-- have stopped to ask whence it comes, or what profit and lessons may be in it?
49618How many parents cooperate with the Christian instructors?
49618How many times have you gone in these twelve months, these fifty- two Sundays?
49618How often do parents inquire about the Catechism and Bible history lesson?
49618How receive its spiritual and highest blessedness unto ourselves?
49618How shall we face it?
49618How shall we receive Him?
49618How soon this may take place, who can declare?
49618How was it at the time of the Savior?
49618How was it possible for Timothy to tell when he commenced to be a Christian?
49618How were the Israelites affected when God appeared at the Red Sea?
49618How, I ask, can these things be?
49618How, in this busy life of ours, shall we ever be able to give ourselves over to never- ceasing prayer?
49618How, then, does this touchstone apply to you?
49618How, then, to make a few direct words of application, is it with you, my dear hearer?
49618How?
49618How?
49618How?
49618How?
49618I am clear from all sin"?
49618If we are to rise, some to rewards and some to punishments, what-- let each conscience ask-- what shall be my position?
49618If we see a relative or friend deliberately going into danger, taking a course which means ruin to his character, ruin to his soul, what is our duty?
49618If you see young people neglecting religious duties, slinking about after dark in bad company, going with those who bet and gamble,--let them go?
49618In other words, are you a sincere and simple believer in Christ Jesus?
49618In other words, without figure, lay before you the question: Why are you not a church- member?
49618In our own strength?
49618In what respect?
49618Is Baptism administered, the Lord''s Communion received?
49618Is a doctor to be blamed for entering a hospital full of suffering invalids?
49618Is financial depression over all the land, labor unobtainable, wages low, and bread scarce?
49618Is ghastly pestilence mowing down its victims?
49618Is it easier for a sober man to become a drunkard than for a poor, miserable, besotted drunkard to trace his steps back and to become sober?
49618Is it much different-- to take up another point-- with our partaking of the Lord''s Supper?
49618Is it not because you permit every one, without distinction and discrimination, to read the Bible?
49618Is it not fitting that it should be so?
49618Is it not just as incongruous, my dear Christian, for you to perplex yourself with thoughts of anguish that God can not provide for you any more?
49618Is it not rather a blessed demonstration of His fidelity to his profession to go to such ailing people?
49618Is it not simply a matter of convenience, custom, inheritance, yes, sometimes of fashion or of business?
49618Is it reasonable to do this?
49618Is it so now?
49618Is it the Lord''s message, or is it some conceit of his own?
49618Is it the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Ghost, as St. Paul says to Titus, chapter 3?
49618Is it to torment you before the time?
49618Is it, therefore, necessary that every believer should be able to designate the precise time of his conversion?
49618Is my service thy delight?
49618Is not ancient Greece with its music, painting, poetry, and the arts the model of modern states?
49618Is not everything that we find recorded in the Scripture written for our learning, our warning?
49618Is that all that his sickness was intended for, that is included in his recovery?
49618Is that the best that God can give us?
49618Is that the way it is in a well- regulated household?
49618Is the Word of God preached in the"Big Church"?
49618Is there a doubt?
49618Is there a personal devil, or is the devil only to stand for evil in the abstract?
49618Is there an explanation?
49618Is there any sin the grace of Jesus can not pardon, or His blood wash away?
49618Is there any wound this great Physician can not heal?
49618Is there no halting, limping, swaying, and swerving between two opinions?
49618Is there no indecision of conduct there, no limping, no dividing of one''s heart between Baal and Jehovah?
49618Is there no outward ceremonial observance there, no form of godliness without the power thereof?
49618Is there no page of your history that you would obliterate, no leaf that, with God''s permission, you would tear from the book of life''s story?
49618Is there no speech to unsay, no act to undo, no day, Sunday, or evening to spend better?
49618Is this right?
49618Is this the fault of marriage or education?
49618Is your name enrolled among the list of passengers?
49618Is, to conclude, Christ such a light to you?
49618It is Christ''s provision for the salvation of man,--how?
49618It is an old problem and a constantly recurring problem: Why does God deal so, and why does He deal so with those who are His people?
49618It is so with Him who asks"Lovest thou me?"
49618Laughingly he rejoined,"You will never be able to do that, will you?"
49618Listen to the trend of conversation, the topic of discussion in people''s homes-- what is it?
49618Lives there a person so happy as to look back on the past and feel no remorse, or forward to the future and feel no fear?
49618Lord Lyttleton asked,"What is the result of your work?"
49618Lord, what wilt Thou have me do?"
49618Lovest thou my Word, my house, my sacraments?
49618Lutherans?
49618Moreover, what are we coming to if we regard only the rich as under obligation to give?
49618Moreover, what does all this envy of a fellow- man''s better fortune avail?
49618My beloved hearer, what is the measure of your love?
49618My beloved, have you ever reflected what a most excellent appointment that is?
49618My dear hearer, have you entered into that ark?
49618My dear hearer, have you undergone that change of heart, experienced that inner sorrow?
49618My dear hearers, did this love ever in the history of the Church form such a distinguishing badge?
49618Need I inform you what that typified, of whom that lamb was a type and shadow?
49618No one among those with whom you are now living or among those that have gone before-- to whom you would bear yourself otherwise than you have done?
49618Now, beloved, we leave it to the smallest child-- is this making Christ the foundation?
49618Now, how are we to distinguish between the real and pretended messengers of Christ?
49618Now, this is the most important part, how may it be overcome?
49618Now, what shall we make of this wonderful dualism, as we may call it?
49618Now, what shall we think, what say, to sustain ourselves amid experiences like that?
49618Now, whence did this evil come from?
49618Now, where should a physician be but with the sick and the dying?
49618Of the congregation that is looking up into my face this morning, twenty, thirty, fifty years, where shall it be?
49618One has only to look into one''s own heart, and what do you find there, good or evil?
49618Or are there no tests by which to find out?
49618Or are you able to say with the Apostle,"Lord, Thou knowest that I love Thee"?
49618Or do you claim you do not know how?
49618Or do you keep your children from being educated because some educated people are great rascals?
49618Or need we any examples for what harm they have done?
49618Or what to him whose dwelling is in flames, to place a ladder for his rescue, if he will not so much as step upon it?
49618Or, in other words, Is He, Jesus Christ, God?
49618Others come with a commendable degree of regularity, but is there participation in the services and punctuality in arriving?
49618Our question is,_ Why_ does the needle so turn?
49618Over against this, what possessions does our Church glory in?
49618Overcome with remorse, Saul raises his sightless eyeballs on high and asks,"Who art Thou, O Lord?"
49618Peter was grieved because He said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me?
49618Prayer: What is there to it?
49618Rather, should I say, who has made that which is great and grand in art, in music, in literature-- the masterpieces, the sublimest productions?
49618Read those letters:"Wanting,"and ask yourself, Does that mean me?
49618Saints and popes?
49618Shall I for that reason keep my hands from filling grapes into my church basket?
49618Shall the Savior say unto thee as Delilah said unto Samson:"How canst thou say, I love thee, when thy heart is not with me?"
49618Shall we not make reprisal upon the enemy, consecrate to the divine Giver His first- fruits?
49618Shall we refuse to take it?
49618Shall we say that we will have none of it?
49618Should we therefore avoid it and dislike it?
49618Should we therefore dislike it, reject it, or should we cleanse the furniture and the floor?
49618Should you, because you are no church officer or esteemed pillar in the sanctuary?
49618Simple, is it not?
49618Simply enough; a man who has been in the very grip of the last enemy and has recovered, can not but reason thus:"What if I had died?
49618So when they had dined, Jesus saith to Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me more than these?
49618Something within us-- something confined to this world?
49618Support of body?
49618Take, drink; this is my blood,"literally or figuratively,"is"meaning"represents"?
49618Taking up some practical lessons on the subject of conversion: What was there in St. Paul''s case that need not be looked for in other cases?
49618That question is,"What''s the use?
49618That where faith in Jesus Christ exists, it must show itself by works._ To begin with,--what is it for a man to be justified?
49618The Mother of Protestantism,--what church is it?
49618The application of all this?
49618The civilization of to- day-- whose product is it but of His religion?
49618The difference?
49618The divine Householder still has occasion to ask,"Is thine eye evil?"
49618The good old Bible Book--"is it really what has been claimed for it?"
49618The malice of the chief priest, the treachery of Judas, the cowardice of Pontius Pilate?
49618The narrative of Balaam, or Jonah, of the men in the fiery oven,--are they to be received as they read?
49618The only determining factor in this, as in all articles of our religious belief, is, What saith the Scripture?
49618The question at issue:"Is the Lord God?
49618The reflections, my beloved, and the constant cry,"What is the Church doing for its members?
49618The supply of man''s foremost and chief requisite-- what is that?
49618The truth had smitten to the heart, and then?
49618The truth of his remarks, however, who would wish to contest?
49618The voice said:"Cry,"and the faithful messenger said:"What shall I cry?"
49618Then saith the woman of Samaria unto Him:"How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria?"
49618Then why envy the man whom God has gifted with talents of mind and tongue?
49618Then, too, when does the Bible say that a man can convert himself at any time that he chooses?
49618There is none of us who fails to take a glance at the daily paper,--why not at the Bible?
49618There was one thing they possessed, which is now so largely lacking,--what is it?
49618These are faults, and when one is overtaken in such a fault, then it becomes my Christian duty and yours to restore such a one-- how?
49618These men gave"much"( much when the amount was considered, much according to their own opinion and their admirers); yet, was it much relatively?
49618They are sometimes disposed to cry out with terror,"What can it mean?"
49618This child resting at His mother''s breast( who can grasp it?)
49618This is our second consideration: Where?
49618This night thy soul shall be required of thee; then whose shall those things be which thou hast provided?
49618This we learn from the next point of consideration: Who shall be the judged?
49618Those four words, and particularly, the one chosen for our immediate devotion,"Tekel,"has it no spiritual warning for us?
49618Through whom has the whole Church been redeemed from the bondage of Antichrist?
49618To David''s prayer,"Lord, remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions,"have you no solemn and hearty Amen?
49618To a life of godliness, to a conduct becoming a Christian, to the duties incumbent upon a member?
49618To amass wealth?
49618To conclude,--there should be any right- thinking, calculating person that, having begun, will fail to complete the building of this tower?
49618To conclude: How far, Christian brethren, have we been faithful to the admonition of the text?
49618To discredit it is to discredit the Bible, to contradict our blessed Lord, to shut one''s eyes willfully against the truth, and what is it?
49618To procure honor?
49618To provide for your family?
49618To repeat and publicly set aright one objection sometimes met with in our circles: What good does Baptism do?
49618To serve the Lord, to speak for Him, is this your delight?
49618To what end had all his efforts in the interest of true religion been if he was to be cut down before they could be carried through?
49618To what extent has it entered, and does it enter, into your religious life?
49618To what?
49618Trembling and astonished he said,"Lord, what wilt Thou have me to do?"
49618Was it to conceal his grief at the fatal intelligence he had received from the prophet?
49618Was it, too, dissolved, forfeited, lost?
49618Was there not something very instructive in this appearance at such a time?
49618Was truth victorious?
49618We call this adding of the superstructure, consecration, and what does it involve?
49618We glory that we accept the whole Bible, but who studies the Bible as a whole most earnestly?
49618We had respect to the evil example of parents,--why, correspondingly, should it not make for good?
