On seeing Captain Vernon's boat nearing the shore, and the men glittering in gold lace and arms, Miaki the Chief left my side on the beach and rushed towards his village. I concluded that he had run for it through terror, but he had other and more civilized intentions in his Heathen head!
If you do not go about sniffing the air you will not find so many obnoxious odors. If you have a mental wound of any kind, do not mind; time, the great healer, will cure it. We despise the ancient heathen, yet in some cases we have risen from his ashes. A woman dresses for appearance, not for comfort. An ounce of domestic harmony is worth a ton of gold.
In the cities the poor are practically excluded from worshipping with the rich, and missions are established for them as if they were heathen. There can be no objection to costly, magnificent churches. Nothing is too good to be the expression of our honor and love of God.
At any rate, they undertake the lighter menial duties of some household where they are not known, and, having stooped if stooping it is to be considered to lowly offices, no born and bred servants are more faithful to all their obligations. You must not suppose she was christened Delilah. Any of our ministers would hesitate to give such a heathen name to a Christian child.

John, he was admired and courted beyond measure; and always affectioning that Order, which offered him, indeed, its first rank and commanderies, he did much good service; fighting in their ranks for the glory of heaven and St. Waltheof, and slaying many thousands of the heathen in Prussia, Poland, and those savage Northern countries.
And how does God give grace to the humble? My friends, even the wise heathen knew that. Listen to a heathen; a good and a wise man, though; and one who was not far from the kingdom of God, or he would not have written such words as these, 'It is our duty, he says, 'to turn our minds to the best of everything; so as not merely to enjoy what we read, but to be improved by it.
