Providence clearly held the same views as John Locke on charitable institutions.
Locke, and will; but 'the earth abideth for ever. Solomon had seen somewhat of politics, and social improvement, and so on; and behold, then, as now, 'all was vanity and vexation of spirit. That which is crooked cannot be made straight, and that which is wanting cannot be numbered. What profit hath a man of all his labour which he taketh under the sun?
"I'll go," said Trask, "if we can make the right sort of a deal." "If you go, I'm in on it," declared Locke. "Oh, Dad, you're a brick! I knew you'd go!" Trask took Locke aside, to confer privately. "I want you to come, Mr. Locke," he said, "but I don't want to have you stand an expense which may be a dead loss " "I won't go unless I can stand half," said Locke.
Some have ascribed Fell's hesitation, if it can be so called, in executing the king's order, to his unwillingness to injure Locke, who was his friend; others, with more reason, to the doubt of the legality of the order. However this may have been, neither his scruple nor his reluctance was regarded by a court who knew its own power.
Jarrow would have found himself in trouble if he had attempted to cash those checks." "I thought your father was a millionaire?" "There is a man named Locke who has millions in California, but he is not a relative of ours." "Glad to hear it!" cried Trask. "By George, I'm glad to hear it!" "Glad that we're not rich! Why, Mr. Trask!" "I'm I'm going back to the States," he announced.
His sermon was a plain moral discourse an essay such as Locke or Bacon might have written; save that he took care to translate it into language suitable to his hearers the generality of whom were of the labouring class. Olive liked him for this, believing she recognised therein the strong sense of duty, the wish to do good, which overpowered all desire of intellectual display.
Locke had, at Oxford, abstained from expressing any opinion on the politics of the day. Spies had been set about him. Doctors of Divinity and Masters of Arts had not been ashamed to perform the vilest of all offices, that of watching the lips of a companion in order to report his words to his ruin.
It made her feel like a girl again, and brought back all the wild spirits of her youth, now repressed in propriety by her changed life until sometimes she hardly knew herself, or fancied she was growing into that object of her former scorn, an ordinary young lady. She cast the subdued and meek "Mrs. Locke Harper" to the winds, and dashed wildly back for this day at least into "Agatha Bowen."
"We had breakfast," said Locke. "I'd take a nip of coffee," said Jarrow. "Now then, here's Doc Bird to help open your gear. Anything you want, ask for it, and you, Doc, keep an eye out to make all hands comfortable. I got to go up now." Trask followed the captain up the companion and left Marjorie and her father below, until he was called to have his coffee.
We can hardly help agreeing with Godwin, when he says that in Burke's treatise the evils of existing political institutions, which had been described by Locke, are set forth more at large, with incomparable force of reasoning and lustre of eloquence, though the declared intention of the writer was to show that such evils ought to be considered merely trivial.
