Those who had sustained a still nearer relation who had been "one flesh" may bear like regard to those "with whom they had taken sweet counsel and walked to the house of God in company" and may be the first to welcome their arrival at the world of joy. The Romish church have abused the doctrine which we conceive to be contained in the text, by decreeing adoration to departed saints.
I laughed at the bitterness the youngster threw into his speech. It is good to be young. One can love and hate with some intensity, and it appeared to me that Holman had found marks for both adoration and hatred on the yacht that was slipping into the mysterious islands of the South Sea. "You mustn't look at the black side of things," I said.
His finest picture of the year 1504 is an Adoration of the Kings, originally painted for Frederick the Wise, Elector of Saxony, subsequently presented by the Elector Christian II. to the Emperor Rudolph II., and finally, on the occasion of an exchange of pictures, transferred from Vienna to Florence, where it now hangs in the Tribune of the Uffizi.
The Abbe determined to please, and was not proud. M. de Vendome exhibited himself as before; and Alberoni, by an infamous act of personal adoration, gained his heart. He was thenceforth much with him, made cheese-soup and other odd messes for him; and finally worked his way.

For instance; the doctors turn over the leaves of their great books as if seeking for the written testimonies to the truth of the mysterious Incarnation made visible in the persons of the Mother and Child; the confessors contemplate the radiant group with rapture, and seem ready to burst forth in hymns of praise; the martyrs kneel in adoration; the virgins gracefully offer their victorious palms: and thus the painters of the best periods of art contrived to animate their sacred groups without rendering them too dramatic and too secular.
Nan's been presented to-day, and there's a drawing-room tea going on a function of adoration to the dresses, I believe. The women will take it as a personal compliment if you come and admire them."
