They made it impossible for a man to argue with the abler and better informed class of infidel assailants with the success and satisfaction desirable. The theories did not admit of a successful defence. And when the theories were refuted, the Bible and Christianity suffered. On searching the Scriptures I found they gave no countenance to those theories.
The subject is highly interesting; but I must resign it to abler pens for more ample discussion. I was much gratified by being presented to the celebrated philosopher Mons.
While Lincoln was thus arming himself with a valiant mercy, a band of conspirators at an obscure boardinghouse in Washington were planning his assassination. Their leader was John Wilkes Booth, an actor, brother of the much abler Edwin Booth. There seems little doubt that he was insane.
The practical question puts itself with ever-increasing stringency to all English minds: Can we, by no industry, energy, utmost expenditure of human ingenuity, and passionate invocation of the Heavens and Earth, get to attain some twelve or ten or six men to manage the affairs of this nation in Downing Street and the chief posts elsewhere, who are abler for the work than those we have been used to, this long while?

As for the widow, she grew alert and brisk; so good is a little wholesome activity for others. 'We must have no fretting, no repining, dear Miss Carnegy, she persisted cheerfully. 'Your young brother is sure to be found.
You don't owe me 'Thank you, but you've got to stand for me till you reach the house." "You're taking advantage of me because I can't help myself. Why don't you go and bring father," she flung out. "I'm younger than your father and abler to help. That's why?" They reached the top of the bluff and he made her sit down to rest.
To carry out the simile, she now gathered from this conversational reconnaissance that the younger and abler general at the front was about to alter the object of attack. She had, in fact, come in not to warm, but to inform herself. "Mrs. Harrington seemed to take to Luke," said Agatha, behind her hair. "Yes," answered Mrs.
