People get a false idea of you. I hate to have to tell you this, but several of the fellows, even in Omega Chi, have spoken about you, and wondered if you really were a regular crank. 'Of course he isn't, you poor cheese, I tell 'em, but I can't be around to answer every one all the time, and you can't lick the whole college; that ain't the way the world does things.
He is Alpha and Omega. He is the One that will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life and bestow upon the sick the remedy of true salvation. He whom such grace aideth is verily he that receiveth the most glorious heritage from the Prophets of God and His holy ones. The Lord will be his God, and he His dearly-beloved son.
'Can thy heart endure and thy hand be strong in the day that I shall deal with thee? Oh brother, do not turn away from that Christ who is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending!
She was indeed a new Antigone, ready to lead him in his moral blindness to an altar of atonement more pure than the ensanguined shrine of the Athenian Eumenides. Her visits to Omega Street were not entirely devoted to tete-a-tetes with her father. Of course such interviews could not take place in the presence of Diana.
I cry out against it, because it jumbles all ideas, causes the means to be taken for the end, the obstacle for the cause, the alpha for the omega; because its presence in the world, though in itself beneficial, has, nevertheless, introduced a fatal notion, a perversion of principles, a contradictory theory, which, in a multitude of forms, has impoverished mankind and deluged the earth with blood.

I admit that drawing is essential to give truth and symmetry of proportion, and is therefore a necessary evil; but a finished picture represents the surfaces of things: surfaces are distinguishable only by colouring, and therefore I maintain that colouring is the real object the alpha and omega of art.
We spoke once of vital lungs for Society: and in fact this question always rises as the alpha and omega of social questions, What methods the Society has of summoning aloft into the high places, for its help and governance, the wisdom that is born to it in all places, and of course is born chiefly in the more populous or lower places?
And he that sat upon the throne said, Lo! I make all things new: and he said unto me, Write that these sayings are true and faithful. And he said to me, It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end; I will give to him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely.
The first and last, the Alpha and Omega of God, beginning and crowning and summing up all His being and His work, is His mercy, His lovingkindness. But next to mercy comes faithfulness. 'Thy faithfulness reacheth unto the clouds. God's faithfulness is in its narrowest sense His adherence to His promises.
