Surtaine in a tone of long-suffering and dignified injury, "how believing all you see in print lures you into chasing after strange dogs." The visitor's mouth quivered a little at this remarkable paraphrase of the Scripture passage; but he said gravely enough: "Then we get back to the original charges, which the 'Clarion' quotes from the 'Church Standard." "And there you are!
It is not, as the scholars say, apologetic. It is simply an out-and-out version of the Scripture, as honestly as they could reproduce it. There were Puritans on the committee; there were extreme High Churchmen; there were men of all grades between. But there is nowhere any evidence that any one was set on making the Bible prove his point.
Necessity of repentance, of humility, of the contrite and humble heart. Only the contrite and humble heart shall see God. "The broken heart shall be cured," says the Scripture, "but the heart of the proud man shall be shattered." So Augustin, the intellectual, had to change his methods, and he felt that this change was right.
The Bible is 'Nature's sternest painter but her best. But to get the whole doctrine of Scripture on the subject, we have to take its confidence as to what men may become, as well as its portrait of what they are and then who will say that the anthropology of Scripture is gloomy?
The Scripture saith, 'Be kind to the wayfaring man, for many have so entertained angels unawares! Yesterday at this time I was the poorest of all the daughters of charity. "Last night I opened my doors in the storm, you enter and give me riches; he follows and endows me with his prayers! Am I not then greatly favored by Him who dispenseth to all who trust in Him.
Many questions they asked about poor Tommy Baines, and where he had gone to, which the mother only answered after the simple manner of Scripture he "was not, for God took him." But when they saw Mary Baines go crying down the field-path, Muriel asked "why she cried? how could she cry, when it was God who had taken little Tommy?"
"A Boy's Influence." Two families lived in one house. In each of these families there was a little boy about the same age. These boys slept together. One of them had a good pious mother. She had trained him to kneel down every night, before getting into bed, and say his prayer in an audible voice, and to repeat a text of scripture which she had taught him.
His organism is perhaps of a more precious, subtle, and so more fragile nature?" Nebsecht shrugged his shoulders. "Perhaps!" he said. "I thought you must know." "I how should I?" asked the leech. "I have told you they would not even let me try to find out how the hand of a forger moves." "Consider, the scripture tells us the passage of the soul depends on the preservation of the body."
The question does not arise, we reply; for the text does not mean to make an original assertion at all, the truth which it states having already been established by the preceding clause, 'In that all this world has its Self. This clause does make an original statement in agreement with the principle that 'Scripture has a purport with regard to what is not established by other means' that is, it predicates of 'all this, i.e. this entire world together with all individual souls, that 'that, i.e.
And in a word, all the examples of the saints, which the Lord approves and speaks well of; as Heb. xi.; 1 Pet. iii. 5, 6: together with all such examples, whose imitation by others is commended in Scripture; as, 1 Thess. i. 6, 7, and ii. 14.
