To his wife Yule seldom addressed anything but a curt inquiry or caustic comment; if he spoke humanly at table it was to Marian. Ten minutes passed; then Marian resolved to try any means of clearing the atmosphere. 'Mr Quarmby gave me a message for you, she said. 'A friend of his, Nathaniel Walker, has told him that Mr Rackett will very likely offer you the editorship of The Study.
"I now greatly desire to eat some regular food, and if such a thing be humanly possible I should also prefer to eat it in silence unbroken except by the noises I make myself. I have eaten meals backed up so close to the orchestra that the leader and I were practically wearing the same pair of suspenders.
The satisfactory progress made by the inhabitants of the islands where Mr Williams resided was owing, humanly speaking, to the wonderful rapidity with which he had acquired their language, and was able to preach to them, in it, the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
"Dear Sir, and Ladies, It is proposed to make a small presentation to you, in commemoration of your prompt and courageous action in warning the train on the inst., and thus averting what must, humanly speaking, have been a terrible accident. The presentation will take place at the Station at three o'clock on the 30th inst., if this time and place will be convenient to you. "Yours faithfully,

It is not the proposals of these reformers that I feel to be false so much as their temper and their arguments. I am not nearly so certain that communal kitchens are wrong as I am that the defenders of communal kitchens are wrong. But in both the trouble is that their defenders will not defend them humanly as human institutions.
Logically and humanly speaking they should have triumphed, for they allowed man and woman to satisfy their passions, saying to themselves there was no sin in these, even sanctifying them as the Gnostics, rendering homage to God by the foulest uncleanness. All have suffered shipwreck. The Church, unbending in this matter, has remained upright and entire.
We have been enabled during this time to establish three day-schools, and to connect with the Institution two other charity day-schools, which, humanly speaking, otherwise would have been closed for want of means. In addition to this, the expenses connected with a Sunday-school and an adult school have been likewise defrayed, making seven schools altogether.
