It is a master-piece of the devil to make us believe that children can not understand religion. Would Christ have made a child the standard of faith if He had known that it was not capable of understanding His words? It is far easier for children to love and trust than for grown-up persons, and so we should set Christ before them as the supreme object of their choice.
There being no arguments for defence, but only such pathetic appeals as only a lawyer, without the least hope, would make, feeling that his clients would expect something, we need not take our space to report their remarks. On Tuesday April 18, Judge Advocate Burnet made his closing argument for the Government. It was truly a master-piece, complete in every part.
It was as though the genius of Pleasure had poured all the riches of his inexhaustible realm on the heads of the revellers below. The Procuratessa brought Odo to earth by remarking that it was a master-piece of the divine Tiepolo he was admiring.
The son of this man, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, favorite of Queen Elizabeth, is held up by our historians as a master-piece of dissimulation, pride, and cruelty.

"Sauti said, 'O ascetic, about this time the two sisters saw approaching near, that steed of complacent appearance named Uchchaihsravas who was worshipped by the gods, that gem of steeds, who arose at the churning of the Ocean for nectar. Divine, graceful, perpetually young, creation's master-piece, and of irresistible vigour, it was blest with every auspicious mark.
In a month, the faithful servant of the Church was preaching, catechising, confessing, beyond the Niemen. It is impossible to deny that the polity of the Church of Rome is the very master-piece of human wisdom. In truth, nothing but such a polity could, against such assaults, have borne up such doctrines.
Enter HERMANN. FRANCIS. Ha! Welcome, my Euryalus! My prompt and trusty instrument! You sent for me, count why? FRANCIS. That you might put the seal to your master-piece. Indeed? FRANCIS. Give the picture its finishing touch. HERMANN. Poh! Poh! Shall I call the carriage? We'll arrange the business during the drive? No ceremony, sir, if you please.
The next effort of Corneille was that resulting in the tragedy of "Horace," which was a master-piece, and was received with unbounded applause. He surpassed this effort, however, in his next piece, called "Cinna." After this which many consider his best drama came "Polyeceute", a beautiful piece.
