First he made certain that there was no other damning bit of false evidence concealed in the hay or any where in the loft. Then, taking the box under his arm, he went down into the stable. Here again he made careful search, spending an hour in a stubborn search. Then leaving the box in a manger, straw-covered, he went back to the cabin on the top of the knoll.
There you had the threat, the instrument, the opportunity and what more could you ask, except the motive? As for the rest, it was damning. On that point foregathering members agreed with one exception. In a seated group was Jones. His neighbours alarmed him. They belonged, he thought, to a very dangerous class, to a class which a sociologist defined as the most dangerous of all to the stupid.
But why do you deprive the brutes of souls, which, without understanding it, you attribute to men? It is that the souls of the brutes would embarrass our theologians, who, content with the power of frightening and damning the immortal souls of men, do not take the same interest in damning those of the brutes.
But add to that saving truth this damning corolary: I am better than thou; my race than thine; we have harvests to reap at your expense, and our rights may be your wrongs: and you have, though it appear not for awhile, fouled that stream from godhood: you have debased your nationalism and made it hellish.

Such a work hardly requires refutation. Every sophism and every falsehood is a damning argument against the Russian cause.
Yet if that had been Worthington, if those experts had found evidence against him, if the theories of the district attorney had been verified on that gruesome night in the "dead ward" of Bellstrand Hospital Why had this damning evidence been allowed to sink into oblivion? Why had it not been used against him? It was a problem which Barry Houston, in spite of wakefulness, failed to solve.
Then let me now confront you with something more awful, more deadly, more relentless and convincing than that mere lethal weapon, the damning inductive and deductive proofs of your guilt!" He drew from his pocket a roll of paper and a note-book. "But surely," I gasped, "you are joking! You could not for a moment believe" "Silence! Sit down!" I obeyed.
And if you care to ascend the torrents, you will find they have been scientifically dammed by the administration, whereas the peasant, when they overflow and ruin his crops, contents himself with damning them in quite an amateurish fashion.
If God would but serve you thus that love your pleasures, you would not make such a trifle of sin as you do. It is killed to the Law of God as it is the Covenant of Works. The law is another thing than I did think it was. I thought it would not have been so soul-destroying, so damning a law!
