Hence guides of the 4th Gordons led us by Bridge 16 over the Canal and along the track of the Lille Road. It was a dark night, and as we stumbled along in single file, we could see the Towers of Ypres smouldering with a dull red glow to our left, while the salient front line was lit up by bursting shells and trench mortars.
The identification of a friend, simple as this operation may at first appear, really takes place by a rapid classing of all the salient characteristic features which serve as the visible marks of that particular person. It is to be noted that each kind of recognition, specific and individual, takes place by a consciousness of likeness amid unlikeness.
The printed copy of this fragment of Oliver Twist, artistically compacted together as "A Reading," has, appended to it, in blue ink, three pages of manuscript in the Novelist's familiar handwriting, in which, with a cunning mastery of all the powers of condensation, he has compacted together in a few sentences what he always gave with wonderful effect before the public, the salient incidents of the murderer's flight, ending with his own destruction, and even his dog's, from the housetop.
In any case, he gains the conviction that a force for good is at worn in the world, and he has the incentive to become part of it..... But I have given you a sermon!" "For which I can never be sufficiently, grateful," said Hodder, with an earnestness not to be mistaken. The little man's eyes rested admiringly, and not without emotion, on the salient features of the tall clergyman.
The substance is sufficiently durable to form a mountain, or sufficiently strong, in its natural state, to resist the greatest torrent of water; at the same time this fissible substance generally decays so completely, when exposed to the atmosphere, as to leave no salient rock exposed by which to characterise the mountain.
In this case, the first thing we have to determine is where the interest of the subject centres. In such a perspective the salient point of the picture often lies in a foreground building; or, if the street be merely a setting for the representation of some incident, in a group of foreground figures.
But for me there was one salient fact: of those three ruffians one was still at large, and no one seemed to have any knowledge of him. "It was some four months later that I again caught up the scent. A certain Friday evening early in February found me listlessly tidying up the shop; for the Jewish Sabbath had begun and customers were few.
In any case, he gains the conviction that a force for good is at worn in the world, and he has the incentive to become part of it..... But I have given you a sermon!" "For which I can never be sufficiently, grateful," said Hodder, with an earnestness not to be mistaken. The little man's eyes rested admiringly, and not without emotion, on the salient features of the tall clergyman.
The other Gospels begin with Bethlehem; John begins with 'the bosom of the Father. Luke dates his narrative by Roman emperors and Jewish high-priests; John dates his 'in the beginning. To attempt adequate exposition of these verses in our narrow limits is absurd; we can only note the salient points of this, the profoundest page in the New Testament.
There was still desperate fighting to do for many days, and the curve of the Ypres salient had been reduced to a narrow oblong stretching from Ypres to Grafenstafel and the Polygon Wood, and little more than half in breadth what it was in length. A shortening of the line was inevitable, and it was effected with great skill and little loss on 3-4 May.
