Where it errs, however, is in the choice of the means conducive to this end; for to make the attainment of eternal happiness dependent upon believing or not believing in the Procession of the Holy Ghost from the Father and the Son and not from the Father alone, or in the Divinity of Jesus, or in the theory of the Hypostatic Union, or even in the existence of God, is, as a moment's reflection will show, nothing less than monstrous.

I shall get eleven pounds at the quarter? if I pass, fifteen?" Horror widened Mr. Marrapit's eyes; shrilled his voice: "What is the colossal sum you anticipate?" "I thought you said fifty-two pounds a year-a pound a week." "A monstrous impression. Adjust it. Four pounds a quarter is the sum. You will have no needs.

She takes him as she finds him, a creature of instinct, but with his large, rich, undeveloped, yet already active nature of reason, and conscience, and religion, already struggling for the mastery, counterbalancing his narrower motivity, holding in check, with nobler intuitions, the error of an instinct which errs in man, because eyes were included in nature's definition of him, as it was written beforehand in her book, her universal book of types and orders eyes, and not instinct only 'that what he cannot smell out, he may spy into. 'O'er that art, which you say adds to nature, is an art that nature makes. The want of this pre-ordered art is the want here still.
But what a holy joy must come into our hearts when we grasp the thought that there is a Divine Person, One who never errs, who is willing to take possession of us and impart to us such gifts as He sees best and to use us according to His wise and loving will.
The Criollo's knife never errs, and one sharp lunge too well completes his task; but an old Paraguayan friend then with me sprang upon him and dashed the knife to the ground, thus leaving my heart's blood warm within me, and not on the pavement.
