For her it was still destined that she should, in a distant land, be the worthy wife of a good husband, and the happy mother of many children. For that embryo one it was destined but that may not be so quickly told: to describe her destiny this volume has yet to be written. Even in those bitterest days God tempered the wind to the shorn lamb.
Pausing once more, Mr. Blyth used his explanatory wand freely on the Spirit of Discovery, the Spirit of Royal Patronage, and the Genius of America not forgetting an indicative knock a-piece for the embryo physiognomies of Washington and Franklin. Everybody's eyes followed the progress of the wand vacantly; but nobody spoke, except Mr. Hemlock, who frowned and whispered "Bosh!" to Mr.
Mothers were guarded and protected and revered, and children were made welcome, and no such crime as darkens our own social world the crime of destroying embryo life was known in your midst. It is a glorious heritage to give a child this parental love and welcome. It lasts through eternity.
When the famous nun, with that passionate humility all her own, had implored her to renounce the world, protested that her vocation was written in her face she really looked like a juvenile mater dolorosa, particularly when she rolled up her eyes eloquently demanded what alternative that hideous embryo of a city could give her that rude and noisy city that looked as if it had been tossed together in a night after one of its periodical fires, where the ill-made sidewalks tripped the unwary foot, or the winter mud was like a swamp, where the alarm bell summoned the Vigilance Committee day and night to protect or avenge, where a coarse and impertinent set of adventurers stared at and followed an inoffensive nun who only left the holy calm of the convent at the command of the Bishop to rescue brands from the burning; then had Teresa, sick with the tragedy of youth, an enchanting vision of secluded paths, where nuns in white walked with downcast eyes and folded hands; of the daily ecstasy of prayer in the convent chapel misty with incense.
Is he ruined by a drop in the Funds? Is he thinking how to cheat his creditors?" "Look!" I said to my neighbor, pointing out to her the face of the unknown man, "is that an embryo bankrupt?" "Oh, no!" she answered, "he would be much gayer." Then, nodding her head gracefully, she added, "If that man ever ruins himself I'll tell it in Pekin! He possesses a million in real estate.
The greatest dunderhead in Christendom might simply, by going a star-gazing, pass himself off as an adept in the occult sciences, and claim the right of being a benefactor of mankind in embryo."
There is more sameness of matter; there are fewer differences of any kind perceptible by a third person; there is more sense of continuity on the part of the person himself, and far more of all that goes to make up our sense of sameness of personality between an embryo an hour before birth and the child on being born, than there is between the child just born and the man of twenty.
In all our dealings, whether with plants, or animals, or with the human soul, we ought, in our training, to act very gently in respect to all that pertains to the embryo condition.
The field was altogether different when Edward Bok entered it in 1889. It was not only wide open, but fairly crying out to be filled. It was this consciousness of a void ready to be filled that made the Philadelphia experiment so attractive to the embryo editor.
Early in 1784 Virginia ceded to the United States her claims of jurisdiction and otherwise over the vast territory north-west of the Ohio; and upon its acceptance, Jefferson, as chairman of a Select Committee appointed at his instance to consider a plan of government therefor, reported to the ninth Continental Congress an Ordinance to govern the territory ceded already, or to be ceded, by individual States to the United States, extending from the 31st to the 47th degree of north latitude, which provided as "fundamental conditions between the thirteen original States and those newly described" as embryo States thereafter to be carved out of such territory ceded or to be ceded to the United States, not only that "they shall forever remain a part of the United States of America," but also that "after the year 1800 of the Christian era, there shall be neither Slavery nor involuntary servitude in any of the said States" and that those fundamental conditions were "unalterable but by the joint consent of the United States in Congress assembled, and of the particular State within which such alteration is proposed to be made."
