For his God, Whom he trusts, will not lie to him nor forsake him, as it is written, Psalm xxxvii: "I have been young, and now am old; never have I seen a believing man, who trusts God, that is a righteous man, forsaken, or his child begging bread."
Will the God in whom he trusts defend him?" The monk pointed expressively upward to the statues that stood glorified above them, still wearing a rosy radiance, though the shadows of twilight had fallen on all the city below. "My son," he said, "the victories of the True Church are not in time, but in eternity. How many around us were conquered on earth that they might triumph in heaven!
We trusts in God all mortal men; his godfathers and his godmothers in his baptism. Well, so it is! I'm not afeared o' death! Seeing the little coffin tremble above the hole, he craned his head still further forward. It sank; a smothered sobbing rose. The old butler touched the arm in front of him with shaking fingers. "Don't 'e," he whispered; "he's a-gone to glory."
Many of those who have made it their vocation to denounce the great industrial combinations which are popularly, although with technical inaccuracy, known as "trusts," appeal especially to hatred and fear. These are precisely the two emotions, particularly when combined with ignorance, which unfit men for the exercise of cool and steady judgment.
Then he laid his cigar aside and stretched out his hand to me. "And the reason, Nance the reason for it all?" I looked up at him. I'd never heard him speak like that. "The reason?" I repeated.

They were fought at every step. But in the Cubapines we have a clean field, and by getting the Government monopoly whenever we want it, we can found one big trust and do ever so much good.
When I had mastered my chagrin and resentment I said: "In my country when trusts are formed a great number of persons suffer, whether the general consumer does or not many small dealers, middle men, drummers and general employees. The small dealer is driven out of the business by underselling. The middle man is frequently ignored, the trust dealing directly, or nearly so, with the consumer.
When I told her yesterday that our departure was so near, her heavenly eyes seemed to me suffused with tears.

After midnight, before the morning dawn breaks for your departure, I give you leave to take farewell of me in this very spot.
Another shall be charitable to the poor, uncharitable in his censures and opinions of all the rest of the world besides: temperate in his appetites, intemperate in his tongue; shall have too much conscience and religion to cheat the man who trusts him, and perhaps as far as the business of debtor and creditor extends shall be just and scrupulous to the uttermost mite; yet in matters of full or great concern, where he is to have the handling of the party's reputation and good name, the dearest, the tenderest property the man has, he will do him irreparable damage, and rob him there without measure or pity."
