Why, I discovered them springs myself two years ago, before I went South, and I guess God wasn't helping me any not after I've kept out of His way as I have. But, anyhow, religion's real; that's my sense of it; and you can get it, I bet, if you try. I've seen it got. A friend of mine got it got it under your preaching; not from you; but you was the accident that brought it about, I expect.
Guess most o' the religion comes along o' the wimmin folk. 'Longside o' wimmin men is muck." Tresler nodded his appreciation of the sentiment. "Gettin' religion's most like goin' on the bust. Hits yer sudden, an' yer don't git off'n it easy. The signs is allus the same. You kind o' worry when folks gits blasphemin', an' you don't feel like takin' a hand to help 'em out.
I know Shaker egg-beaters and garden-seeds and rocking-chairs and oh, yes, I remember their religion's against marriage. That's the worst thing you could have told me; that ends all hope; if they once get hold of a woman like Susanna, they'll never let go of her; if they don't believe in a woman's marrying a good man, they'd never let her go back to a bad one.
She is poverty's prayer and charity's praise, religion's love and devotion's zeal. She is a care of necessity and a course of thrift, a book of housewifery and a mirror of modesty. In sum, she is God's blessing and man's happiness, earth's honour and heaven's creature. An effeminate fool is the figure of a baby.
I was loose brought up; but I've a friend" Laura was before his eyes "that says religion's all right, and long ago as I can remember my mother used to pray three times a day with grace at meals, too.
I don't know, either, about religion's being up in the market, just now. I have not looked in the papers lately, to see how it sells. How many hundred dollars, now, do you put on for this religion?" "You like to be jokin, now," said the trader; "but, then, there's sense under all that ar. I know there's differences in religion.
The broad city's gates Poured forth a mingled throng impatient steeds Champing their bits, and neighing for the course: Merchants slow driving to the busy port Their ponderous wains: Religion's holy priests Leading her red-robed votaries to the steps Of some vast temple: young and old, with hands Crossed on their breasts, hastening to walks and shades Suburban, where some moralist explained The laws of mind and virtue.
And in the same manner it may be observed with respect to language, that if persons in the society lay an undue stress upon it, that is, if they believe truth or falsehood to exist inherently in lifeless words, and this contrary to the sense in which they know they will be understood by the world, so that they dare not pronounce them for religion's sake, they will be in danger of placing religion where it is not, and of falling into errors concerning it, which will be denominated superstition by the world.
That's between themselves and God, as he's said to me many a time." "Aye, aye; but he's none so fond o' your dissenters, for all that." "Maybe; I'm none so fond o' Josh Tod's thick ale, but I don't hinder you from making a fool o' yourself wi't." There was a laugh at this thrust of Adam's, but Seth said, very seriously. "Nay, nay, Addy, thee mustna say as anybody's religion's like thick ale.
From the sacred dome Allured betrayed for sure some hell-born magic Enchained my frenzied sense I fled with him, The invader of religion's dread abodes! Where art thou, my beloved? Haste return With thy dear presence calm my struggling soul! Hark! the sweet voice! No! 'twas the echoing surge That beats upon the shore; alas! he comes not.
