She opened the door slowly, belief and unbelief competing in her mind, and when it was closed again Prescott insisted upon knowing at once if Miss Catherwood were still in the house. "Yes, she is here," Miss Grayson replied at last and reluctantly. "Then I must see her and see her now," said Prescott, as he quietly took a seat in the chair before her.
So far as the final result in the other world is concerned, it matters little whether a man adds unbelief to his carelessness, or not. The carelessness will ruin his soul, whether with or without skepticism. Orthodoxy is valuable only as it inspires the hope that it will end in timely and practical attention to the concerns of the soul.
It seemed almost impossible to realise that he was back in England, near at hand, that he loved her, that he had held her in his arms; but the warmth of his kisses still lingered on her lips and helped her unbelief.
Young ladies enjoy the prospect before they are married, and no novel is so thoroughly popular among them as one in which beauty is the instrument in the hands of Providence for the conversion of unbelief. And it is partly because the Empress Eugénie is discharging this high missionary duty, that she is an object of particular admiration just at this moment.
They remembered, perhaps, that they had here eaten the bread that the Lord had created; but the heart of Jesus was heavy with the thought of the unbelief of the people He had come to save, and He said, "Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the Sadducees." The disciples did not understand Him, and wondered if He spoke thus because they had not brought bread.
Perchance that by this mystical structure the worshippers of idols might be persuaded from the northern coldness of unbelief unto the meridian fervor of the faith and the charity of Christ the which to this day is called Sabhall Phadruig, that is, the Barn of Patrick; for in process of time he builded there a fair monastery, into which he introduced monks that had passed their novitiate; and for their use he not long afterward, by his prayers, produced a fountain out of the earth.
For what seemed hours to Hawkins, he gazed into the face of this ghastly being the grey, livid, puffy face of a man who had been dead for weeks. Fascination is a better word than fright in describing the emotion of the man who glared at this uncanny object. Unbelief was supreme in his mind for a short time only.
Anger strove with unbelief, and indignation at his mother with the sense of bitter wrong from Letty. It was all incredible and shameful, yet not the less utterly miserable.
When we see our brethren sinning a sin not unto death, without realizing its full significance and enormity, if we ask God, as Jesus did, He will give us life for those that sin not unto death. There is a sin unto death, and concerning that we are not encouraged to pray. "I obtained mercy," said the great apostle, "because I did it ignorantly in unbelief."
Larrabbee was suddenly, at sea. And she prided herself on a lack of that vagueness generally attributed to her sex. "On on everything. On what we were talking about, the carnival feeling, the levity, on the unbelief of the age. Isn't it because the control has been taken off?" He saw an opportunity to slip into smoother waters. "The engine has lost its governor?" "Exactly!" cried Mrs. Larrabbee.
