"A lusty man to ben an Abbot able;" have increased his own congregation, and been quoted among the godly as a powerful preacher of the word; but in addition to this, he went out of his way to attack Jeremy Bentham, and the town was up in arms. The thing was new. He thus wiped the stain of musty ignorance and formal bigotry out of his style. Mr.
He offered all his children as hostages for his good faith in keeping sacredly any covenant which his Catholic countrymen might be willing to close with him. It was in vain. The step was irretrievably taken; religious bigotry, patrician jealousy, and wholesale bribery, had severed the Netherlands in twain for ever.
Ungku Saiyid of Pâloh the 'local holy man' for the time being like his prototype in the Naulahka, has done much to agitate the minds of the people, and to create a 'commotion of popular bigotry. He is a man of an extraordinary personality. His features are those of the pure Arab caste, and they show the ultra-refinement of one who is pinched with long fasts and other ascetic practices.
Cavour himself drew a miserable picture of his country: science and intelligence were reputed "infernal things by those who are obliging enough to govern us"; a triumphant bigotry trembled alike at railways and Rosmini; Cavour's aunt, the Duchess de Clermont Tonnerre, only got permission to receive the Journal des Débats after long negotiations between the French minister at Turin and the Sardinian government.

Lord Shaftesbury, himself a very ardent Churchman, wrote, June 16, 1855, in reference to the Religious Worship Bill: "The Bishops have exhibited great ignorance, bigotry and opposition to evangelical life and action, and have seriously injured their character, influence and position." Mr.
Things not right can never be religious. Bigotry puts blinders on the best of men. Submission is the first step to sovereignty. The principle of expediency expels all other principle. Quiet lives are often eloquent. The love of wealth steals wealth of love. It's the common virtues that make uncommon saints. Many a man is shouting his convictions to drown the voice of conscience.
His face glowed, though, and the glow and strength gave to the huge misshapen features a grand repose. "You talk of To-Day," the old man continued, querulously. "I am tired of it. Here is its type and history," touching a county newspaper, "a fair type, with its cant, and bigotry, and weight of uncomprehended fact.
"Because," he as emphatically answered, "you are trying to reconcile a true and a false allegiance because " "This isn't a time," she broke in on him desperately, "for preaching theories to me. I'm hardly sane enough just now to stand that." "I'm not preaching," he protested. "I'm asserting that no amount of bigotry can white-wash a living sepulcher."
