It is this divine motherhood, which all evolution, the whole "process of the suns," has gone to strengthen, and which Christianity has enshrined at her very heart it is this that makes her for ever the Christ factor in the world, the supreme expression of the redeeming Love that care of the strong for the weak which even in Nature comes trembling into existence beneath the tender wing of the nesting bird, or forces itself into notice in the fierce lioness's care for her whelps, and which we believe will work out the ultimate consummation of the "whole creation that groaneth and travaileth in pain until now."
The lady moved a little, and the girl petted the other cub. The lioness looked on all the time. Then something still more wonderful happened. As the little girl was petting the cub, the lioness also began to lick the cub; then the lioness's tongue passed over the cub's body and came to the child's hand and the lioness began to lick the child's hand as if the child were her own.
Wouldn't it be nice if they could play together!" Then the lady held the smaller girl in front of her. Very timidly the little girl held out her hand while her mother looked into the lioness's eyes. Well, my dear children, I cannot tell how it happened.
But a lioness's neck is short and thick, and with a quick, catlike twist she slipped the noose over her ears. "Why can't they wait?" complained Kearton. "Somebody tell them to wait till I fix this. It's jammed. It must have got knocked on a rock somewhere. It never acted this way before." And all the while he talked his fingers were busy ripping out the jammed piece of film and loading up afresh.

Surely he sucked the lioness's dug, and in the wild wood his mother reared him, whose fire is scorching me, and bites even to the bone. Ah, lovely as thou art to look upon, ah heart of stone, ah dark- browed maiden, embrace me, thy true goatherd, that I may kiss thee, and even in empty kisses there is a sweet delight!
The cunning woman is gone the sorceress who tried to take my young lion in her pitfall, and has fallen into the midst of it herself; and he is safe, and returned to take the nations for a prey, and grind their bones to powder, as it is written, "He couched like a lion, he lay down like a lioness's whelp, and who dare rouse him up?" 'Stop! said Raphael, 'I must speak! Mother! I must!
A little Tiger, leading the Lioness's horse, followed them at a short distance. I noticed that every one made way for these important members of society, who, indeed, seemed to think the earth hardly good enough for them to walk upon; but when they had passed by, I heard the people say, "That's the great Mr. Grandboy.
