They are vanity, and the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish. The portion of Jacob is not like them: for he is the former of all things; and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts is his name. Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.

Mile after mile I crawled along, sometimes half disposed to turn back, and try the deep but narrow passage; then that inexhaustible fountain of last hopes the Unknown tempted me to go forward. I persevered; when behold! as I passed a rock, an Indian stood before me. He was as naked as I was. Over his shoulder he carried a spear as long as a salmon rod.

"Push it a little further for this once. And when they were all dead?" "They were in God's hands, the same as before," said the book. "Not much to boast of, by your account," cried the reader. "Who is impious now?" said the book. And the reader put him on the fire. The coward crouches from the rod, And loathes the iron face of God. "Look round you," said the citizen.

He had none that day, or else I was too little experienced to note them. Afire with indignation, he told how the deputy black rod had hustled him like a vagabond or a thief, and he called the House of Lords a bear garden. He was followed by Dunning, in a still more inflammatory mood, until it seemed as if all the King's friends in the Lower House must desert their confederates in the Upper.

This brass cylinder standing on a glass column has become electrified by friction with cat's-skin. My assistant will stand upon this insulating stool, and by stroking his hand you will observe that with his other hand he can attract this suspended rod of wood, and you will hear a feeble spark when I apply my knuckle to his. Du Fay, of Paris, discovered what he called two kinds of electricity.

Then very faintly: "The Lord is my Shepherd ... My Shepherd ... He shall lead me forth ... beside the pastures ... my rod and my staff ... The Lord ..." She gave a little sigh and her head rolled to one side. Maggie, with a startled fear, was suddenly conscious that she was alone in the room. She went to the door and called for the doctor.

He had doubtless been gone from the cabin half an hour, and not a stroke had he given with his pick, when, as he sat there looking at the ground, the voice of Keno came on the wind from the door of the shack. Arising, Jim started at once towards his home, leaving his pick on the hill-side a rod or two below. "What is it?" he called, as he neared the house.

As if the rod should shake itself against them that lift it up, or as if the staff should lift up itself as if it were no wood! Therefore shall the Lord, the Lord of Hosts, send among his fat ones, leanness; and under his glory he shall kindle a burning like the burning of a fire.

"It weighs an ounce," he declared. "Twenty dollars' worth of gold!" gasped Rod, as if he lacked breath to express himself. "Who in the wide world is shooting twenty dollar bullets at bear?" he cried more excitedly, repeating Mukoki's question of a minute before. He, too, weighed the yellow pellets in his hand. The puzzled look had gone out of Mukoki's face.

Love of such a religion as Henry professed, retaining the Mass and making free use of the stake and the gibbet, was not, even to Protestants, so attractive as to make them run the English course and submit to the English Lord Paramount. Some time was needed to make Scots, whatever their religious opinions, lick the English rod.
