As for me, I have already "confessed" to my crying sin, a fatal, irresistible inclination to follow the humour of the moment wherever it led me; and now I found myself as active a partizan in quizzing Mickey Oulahan, as though I was not myself a party included in the jest. I was thus fairly launched into my inveterate habit, and nothing could arrest my progress.

And he shall offer the one of the turtledoves, or of the young pigeons, such as he can get; Even such as he is able to get, the one for a sin offering, and the other for a burnt offering, with the meat offering: and the priest shall make an atonement for him that is to be cleansed before the LORD.

DON EDUARDO. Y Malvina, y Etelvina, y Coralina, y otras mil víctimas desaventuradas de la injusticia paterna, a quienes han enterrado con palma por andarse en miramientos. Conque vamos Matilde mía, ¿qué resuelve usted? Mire usted que cada instante se pierde.... DOÑA MATILDE. No lo que haga ... salirse una así de su casa sin.... DON EDUARDO. Pues si no, ¿qué otro camino tenemos?

When persons sin out of ignorance there is great room for pity, and when persons suddenly become guilty of evil through a precipitate yielding to the violence of their passions there is still room for extenuation.

His fixed purpose to die for the world's sin never wavered. The shrinking does not reach the point of absolutely and unconditionally asking that the cup might pass. Even in the act of uttering the wish, it is limited by that 'if it be possible, which can only mean possible, in view of the great purpose for which He came.

I have not taken away the bread or the bandages of mummies. I have not committed sin with the priest of my district. I have not taken from him or decreased his property. I have not used false weights. I have not snatched away an infant from the breast of its nurse. I have never committed anything bestial. I have not caught in nets birds devoted to the gods.

I cannot think of the sin, or care; I only know that I love you! love you! love you! and that if we can be together always the past can go; even Oh, Harold, speak to me; don't look at me in that way!" But his arms hung inertly at his sides, and he looked down into her agonized face with a smile. "No hope!" he whispered.

Afterward he would be very repentant; he would have a severe case of conviction of sin, and Mother would have to comfort him when he accused himself: "Seems as if I couldn't doggone never learn to control myself. I ain't hopeless, am I? I declare, I'm disgusted with myself when I think of your going without your chocolates and me just making a profane old razorback hog of myself."

"He wor as big a rake as ony i' th' parish a few months sin'; I'd never ha' thowt o' Abe Lockwood turning religious." "No, nor me noather, but we niver know what 'll come to us." "No, gooid-noight." One day Abe and a former companion of his met full in front; there was no sliding away on either side, they must speak.

A very large proportion of the endowments of these early colleges came from the spoliation of the parochial clergy. Popular writers in our own time declaim against the horrible sin of buying and selling church preferment, as if it were a modern abomination.
