To the Hebrew came the inspired, exalted conception of a God who demanded righteousness of his people. Beside this wonderful revelation to the human mind details of serpents, and of apples, of names of men and of women, of gardens and of swords are absolutely but the transitory clothing.

In the midst of these colossal disasters stood a young man not fashioned for great events from whom the world and the situation demand a statesmanship as able as Bismarck's, a political ideal as exalted as Washington's, a prompt and judicious dealing with an unprecedented crisis worthy of Peter the Great.

Mrs. Whitney put on her exalted expression. "I'm glad you said nothing before Janet," said she.
It being desirable there should be a male heir-presumptive to the crown, the king was anxious his brother should take unto himself a second wife. And that a lady might be found worthy of the exalted station to which such a union would raise her, the Earl of Peterborough was sent incognito to report on the manners and appearance of the princesses of the courts of Neuburg and of Modena.
The phrase "that day" means not the day of Paul's death, but the day Christ should appear in the clouds of heaven at the end of the Jewish age. His crown was merited for having "fought the good fight and kept the faith." The crown means that exalted honor he should then receive for having "turned many to righteousness."
At first Hamilton thought it would be presumption for him to apply for so exalted a position; he accordingly retired to the country, and resumed his studies for his degree. Other eminent candidates came forward, among them some from Cambridge, and a few of the Fellows from Trinity College, Dublin, also sent in their claims.
