God only knows all our hearts, and I would fain believe that I may find more favour in the eyes of the Almighty, than I have in this world from those who but we must not judge. Give me to drink, Japhet I am sinking fast. God bless you, my dear fellow." The Major sank on his pillow, after he had moistened his lips, and spoke no more.
"I am no more a sailor than you are, Japhet, and since you left me have never yet seen the salt water, which I talk and sing so much about." "Then thou hast been deceiving, Timothy, which I regret much." "Now I do perceive that you are a Quaker," replied Tim; "but do not blame me until you have heard my story. Thank God, I have found you at last.
The arms of Europe were tested against those of Asia, as much as the courage of the descendants of Japhet was with the daring of the children of Ishmael.
Why, don't you know that I was in the ark?" "In the ark?" cries Tommy: "why you aren't Noah, are you, grandpapa?" "Oh no, I'm not Noah." "Ah, then you're Shem." "No, not Shem, either."

"Well, I understand from Melchior that we are to start in a few days?" "What is it to be, Japhet?" "Oh! we shall be at home we are to cure all diseases under the sun. To-morrow we commence making pills, so we may think ourselves with Mr Cophagus again."
Still, there may be something in it, for though that Japhet is stupid, he's honest, and honest men sometimes get hold of the right end of the stick. At least, he believes there is something, and that's what weighs with me." "Well, if that's your opinion, what's best to be done Sergeant?
The master-priest informs you that slavery is consecrated and sanctified by the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament: that Ham was the father of Canaan, and all his posterity were doomed, by his own father, to be hewers of wood and drawers of water to the descendants of Shem and Japhet: that the native Americans of African descent are the children of Ham, with the curse of Noah still fastened upon them; and the native Americans of European descent are children of Japhet, pure Anglo-Saxon blood, born to command, and to live by the sweat of another's brow.
