Is it right for a man who has laughed at the world to begin to whine when it becomes necessary to leave it? "You know I'm with you; I'll fight, and what I find I'll take; in the mean time I prefer not to furnish amusement for the devil. There comes a time, I believe, when the stomach debases us against our wills. May I die before I see it." "But what are we to do?" "That's more like it.
And her offering was acceptable because it came from a willing heart. Willingness is a heart quality. It is the heart volunteering. "Our wills are ours to make them Thine." This was the first test. Thirty-two thousand out of four tribes stood this test. Gideon's army had one great qualification at the start. Courageous Volunteers. Now these men are put to a second test.
The morality of the action depends entirely upon the intention that is, upon what the agent wills to do. The question is often asked, and properly so, in regard to any supposed moral standard What is its sanction? what are the motives to obey it? or more specifically, what is the source of its obligation? whence does it derive its binding force?
The members therefore of this society are expected to wait in silence, not only in their places of worship, but occasionally in their families, or in their private chambers, in the intervals of their daily occupations, that, in stillness of heart, and in freedom from the active contrivance of their own wills, they may acquire both directions and strength for the performance of the duties of life.
The general declared he would not stir from Wills' Creek until he had the governor's assurance that the road would be opened in time. Mr. Peters requested guards to protect the men while at work, from attacks by the Indians. Braddock swore he would not furnish guards for the woodcutters, "let Pennsylvania do it!" He scoffed at the talk about danger from Indians.
"'Tis here, all ready, by which you revoke all former wills, and endow the holy church with your property. We will read it, for God forbid that it should be said that the holy church received an involuntary gift." "I will sign it," replied the dying man; "but my sight fails me; be quick, absolve me." And the paper was signed, with difficulty, as the priests supported the dying man.
If the good Lord wills," she added reverently. The girl sprang to the woman's side, and caught her arm impatiently. "Tell me, quick. Where is he? where did you last see him?" "Goin' into the hoorican', with wood upon his shoulder. To make a beacon for you. So I guess. But you tell how you come alive out of all that?" Sweeping her arm over the outlook.
Were it not for these cumbrous boats we should get along at a great rate, but we dare not abandon them on any account. As it is we left one boat, the 'Stancomb Wills', behind at Ocean Camp, and the remaining two will barely accommodate the whole party when we leave the floe.
Change and death can only thin away and finally remove the film that separates us from our delight. Whatever comes here or yonder can but bring us blessing; for we must be glad if we have God, and if our wills are parallel with His, whose Will all things serve. Our way is traced by Him, and runs alongside of His. It leads to Himself.
It happens that several technical expressions, dating from the earliest institution of Wills at Rome, have been accidentally preserved to us. We have in Gaius the formula of investiture by which the universal successor was created. We have the ancient name by which the person afterwards called Heir was at first designated. All these archaic phrases have one salient peculiarity.
