Of late years some painters have taken up the novelty of representing scriptural subjects as under the actual scenery and climate of the holy land, and attempted besides to portray the characteristics of the race, a thing never dreamed of by the great painters of history.
Blanchard took it without thanks, waited until the labourer had departed, then opened the letter with some slight curiosity. He read a page of scriptural quotations and admonitions, then tore the communication in half with a curse and flung it from him. But presently his anger waned; he rose, picked up his father-in-law's note, and plodded through it to the end.
The Kaushitakins speak of 'the world of Vayu'; but this only means 'Vayu who at the same time is a world. That Vayu may be viewed as the world of the Gods is confirmed by another scriptural passage, viz. Here terminates the adhikarana of 'Vayu. Beyond lightning there is Varuna, on account of connexion.
But the VEDAS teach that wanton loss of a human body is a serious transgression against the karmic law." I sighed in relief; scriptural reinforcement of one's natural instincts is not always forthcoming. It so happened that I never saw Master at close quarters with a leopard or a tiger. But a deadly cobra once confronted him, only to be conquered by my guru's love.

If this were not the path trodden by the righteous, how could this scriptural declaration exist? As regards the righteous, therefore, how can there be any question or doubt in respect of this matter? How can people condemn that declaration by choosing to conduct themselves otherwise? The unrighteous dereliction of eternal usage is regarded as the practice of the Asuras.
In the part of the passage, verses 50 to 58, the Apostle becomes, not the witness or the reasoner, as in the earlier parts of the chapter, but the revealer of a 'mystery. That word, so tragically misunderstood, has here its uniform scriptural sense of truth, otherwise unknown, made known by revelation.
Of these funds not a few have been established since 1837; but the most important among them, the Foreign Mission fund, can boast an earlier origin. Wesleyanism, indeed, is essentially missionary in spirit, her original aim being to spread scriptural holiness throughout the world.
Fowell Buxton placed his confidence in ordinary means and extraordinary application; realizing the Scriptural injunction, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might;" and he attributed his own success in life to his practice of "being a whole man to one thing at a time." "Where there is a will there is a way," is an old and true saying.
