And upon the imposing front of the national bank, I wrote: "Lay not up for yourselves treasures on earth." If we followed these teachings, would not our industrial and social life sink at once to the level of the stagnating Asiatics?
The leaders call to them, and since each one knows his master's poah! poah! they obediently come home. They are arranged in rows within the quadrangle. The smallest boy can control these big, strong, yet harmless and helpless animals. He calls: Krr! krr! and the huge beasts patiently sink to their knees.
It may be that it was his will for her to make a mistake and bring sorrow upon Marjorie; the Lord does not shrink from mistakes; he knows what to do with them. Before the house was astir, Hollis found her in the kitchen; she had kindled the fire, and was filling the tea-kettle at the pump in the sink. "Good morning, Mrs. West. Excuse my early leave; but I must meet my friends to-day." "Hollis!"
Not in largeness, colour or brilliancy lay their charm, but in deep, langourous, concentrated sweetness, a sweetness so far-reaching from the orb to the soul that it was easy to sink away into their depths and dream, and never wish to wake.
To violate this combination is everywhere a most unpopular action, and a sort of reproach to a master among his neighbours and equals. We seldom, indeed, hear of this combination, because it is the usual, and, one may say, the natural state of things, which nobody ever hears of. Masters, too, sometimes enter into particular combinations to sink the wages of labour even below this rate.
The laws themselves caused me to break the laws: first, by implanting within me the goading sense of injustice; secondly, by submitting me to the corruption of example. Thus, I repeat, and I trust my words will sink solemnly into the hearts of all present, your legislation made me what I am; and it now destroys me, as it has destroyed thousands, for being what it made me!
"May I come with you, or were you going to Brent Farm?" "I'm not going there. Come on." The wind met them lightly as they headed towards the road. The night was very dark, and the ground seemed to lift itself before them and sink again at their approach. "It's like butting into a wave," John said. "I keep shutting my eyes, ready for the shock." "Yes." Helen began to talk as though she were alone.
See to what a lovely peace the Creating Hand has even now brought our England, far as she is yet from being a province in the kingdom of Heaven; but see also in her former condition a type of the horror to which our souls may festering sink, if we shut out His free spirit, and have it no more moving upon the face of our waters.
On one of these occasions a succession of valuable fragments of early English poetry brought prices so high and far beyond those of ordinary expensive books in the finest condition, that it seemed as if their imperfections were their merit; and the auctioneer, momentarily carried off with this feeling, when the high prices began to sink a little, remonstrated thus, "Going so low as thirty shillings, gentlemen, this curious book so low as thirty shillings and quite imperfect!"
The monk received his share with a deep sigh, and a single stealthy glance at the dead Thevenin, who was beginning to sink into himself and topple sideways off the chair. "We're all in for it," cried Villon, swallowing his mirth. "It's a hanging job for every man Jack of us that's here not to speak of those who aren't."
