It won't be long before he'll be laying the foundation-stone of the new Bethel under his mother's nose." "A truly kind and filial thing to do!" said the young High Churchman, flushing. Sir Wilfrid eyed him slyly. "Moral don't keep a conscience political or ecclesiastical. There's nothing but mischief comes of it. And, for Heaven's sake, don't be a posthumous villain!" "What's that?"
He told her his plans, and made his request for a Bethel flag, which this lady kindly and generously gave him permission to get. On obtaining it, Sam came and asked me if I would preach at the first hoisting of it. This I consented to do, and on the following Sunday afternoon we had a large concourse of people on board, and also on the quay alongside. I gave out the hymn:
While the historians were perfecting their histories certain prophets also were beginning to commit their sermons to writing. The oldest recorded address in the Old Testament is probably that of Amos at Bethel. Sometimes complete sermons of the prophets are preserved, but more often we seem to have only extracts and epitomes.
When the changes are once made, it's more economical to run one big factory than half a dozen little ones. And of course it will make it better for New Bethel." "But it must make it bad for the towns where the factories are now," said Mary after a thoughtful pause. "I know how it would hurt New Bethel if we closed up." Josiah nodded his head. "I didn't like it myself at first."
Bethel Chapel combined everything that could be imagined contrary to the spirit of nature, which undulates. The largest erection of the kind, it was evidently meant for a large congregation. Of all the people in this country there are none so devout as the cottagers in the lanes and hamlets.
I should have earlier mentioned that Mr. Bonny speaks the Chinese language, and appears to convey his ideas with much fluency. There is a bethel, or floating "seaman's chapel," anchored in the "Reach," which was presided over by the Rev. George Loomis, whom I had the pleasure to hear deliver an excellent discourse from the text: "And by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin."
Joseph enters, and, in a strain of high solemnity, Jacob speaks of the promise made long before on the stone-strewn hills of Bethel, and its fulfilment; but even so he seems to wander in his thought, the recollection of his Rachel comes over him, and he cannot forbear to speak of her: "And as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died by me in the land of Canaan, in the way, and when yet there was but a little way to come unto Ephrath; and I buried her there in the way of Ephrath; the same is Bethlehem."
It was not until the first day of July that a permanent encampment was made there, consisting of the Third Massachusetts Regiment, which moved from the fort, the Fourth, which moved from Newport News, and the Naval Brigade, all under the command of Brigadier-General Pierce, the camp being informally called Camp Greble, in honor of the lieutenant of that name who fell bravely in the disastrous affair of Big Bethel.
But for my own conduct, the charge never would have been laid to me." "Go on." "In my flight I came upon Bethel. I knew that if he had gone toward the cottage after the shot was fired, he must have encountered Thorn flying from it. He denied that he had; he said he had only gone along the path for a few paces, and had then plunged into the wood again. I believed him and departed."
Carlyle felt sure; but he could not attempt so much as a guess at what it might be. And this interview with Bethel brought him no nearer the point he wished to find out whether this Thorn was the same man. In walking back to his office he met Mr. Tom Herbert. "Does Captain Thorn purpose making a long stay with you?" he stopped him to inquire.
