But if any one thinks that the sacred word "gospel" is here misused, and that such teaching is fatal to piety, let him turn to the 104th Psalm and read, from Spinoza's point of view, the cosmic vision of the Hebrew seer.
Strong men are usually good-humoured, and active men often display the same elasticity of mind as of body. These are superiorities, however, that are often misused. But even for these things God shall call us to judgment. Some months since I joined with other literary folks in subscribing a petition for a pension to Mrs.
The maid is ready to depart with her nurse," said Sir Julian. As the young lord turned to him, Lady Constance crushed and broken said, "Couldst thou not see why I have so misused my better self; have thine eyes been blind all these years not to see how I have loved thee, Cedric thee thee with all my heart and soul?"

The term "impersonality" demands special attention, being the most misused and abused term of all.
