The heart of the Christian the center of life and love will find satisfaction in being in sympathetic touch with all that is good and noble. I have dwelt upon this point because the worldly are in the habit of picturing the Christian life as gloomy and forbidding. It is a libel; a long-faced Christian is a poor Christian, if a Christian at all.
You must practise them on me now. We are to keep each other company as much as possible, she and I, while her husband and Douw go off together. You should have seen her mimic them the two solemn, long-faced men boring each other in the depths of the wilderness." The talk had at last got around to me. Daisy laughed gayly at recollection of the London woman's jesting.
Now again Hogarth ran: but not many steps, when he felt himself tapped on the back, and, glancing in a horror of alarm, saw one of the two patients who had occupied with him his cage of bars a wiry, long-faced Cockney shop-boy, who had had his ankle crushed by a rock at the quarry. "Are you off?" he asked. "That's my business " "No, you don't. Part, or I give the alarm". "What is it?
At all events, there he was, and in charge of the boat." "You saw him? Spoke to him?" "To be accurate, he spoke to me down the coal-shaft, as I was examining it. I judged him to be simulating drunkenness. But his voice was a cultivated one I should recognise it anywhere; and Mrs. Huggins, who saw and spoke with him, describes him as a long-faced man, of gentlemanly bearing, with a furred collar."
He knew the Craigswolders spent money like mud, when it so pleased them although more than one fellow huckster was at times sore put to it to collect from them a bill for fresh vegetables. Yes, and he knew Col. Cyrus Marden by sight, too. He was a long-faced little man who used to go about dressed in funny knee pants and with a leather bag of misshapen clubs over his shoulder.
The tall lady, quite oblivious to all this, seated herself on the ground with the puppies on her lap, muttering ecstatically-"Perfect beauties what luck! Giftie, you're a wonder!" Whereupon Giftie tried to kiss her on the ear. The bent old gardener, brought Colin to us and made him shake hands, and we thought him very long-faced and dour after roguish Giftie. Presently Mrs.

I felt more sorry when I saw him when the tall, long-faced A.D.C. took me into his room and left us. Yes, Sir John was certainly going. There was no mistake about it.

The Prophet talked to us plainly, and fully instructed us in our duty and gave the long-faced hypocrites such a lecture that much good was done. I had at that time learned to dread a religious fanatic, and I was pleased to hear the Prophet lay down the law to them. A fanatic is always dangerous, but a religious fanatic is to be dreaded by all men there is no reason in one of them.
Rejoice, then, and be exceeding glad, and you will please Him best." Once more, then, we appear to be in the wrong, to whatever side we turn. The happy red-faced monk with his barrel of beer is a caricature of our joy. Can this, it is asked, be a follower of the Man of Sorrows? And the long-faced ascetic with his eyes turned up to heaven is the world's conception of our sorrow.
