You play with happiness as a child plays with a rattle, and you do not reflect how rare and fragile a thing you hold in your hands; you treat it with disdain, you smile at it and you continue to amuse yourself with it, forgetting how many prayers it has cost your good angel to preserve for you that shadow of daylight!
Israel bent his head and shuddered at seeing the child at the woman's feet. "The darling is as fair as an angel," said Katrina, and she kissed Naomi. The kiss seemed to Israel to smite his own cheeks like a blow.
There is nothing so sad as this "murder of the innocents" that is going on in all our great cities. Marianne Farningham sings their dirge: "Such sights there are in the great sin-soiled city, As might compel an angel into pity; But none more sad in all the world of care, Than a young child driven to black despair!"
The thought of her angel child, and the solitude of her quiet home accorded better with her sad and contemplative mood, than the foolish clatter of her simple neighbor's gossiping member, and right glad was she that her acquaintance extended no further than to her kind benefactor, and to the noble and honest Pat.
The front pages teem with caricatures of the judge upon the bench, of the individual jurors with exaggerated heads upon impossible bodies, of the lawyers ranting and bellowing, juxtaposed with sketches of the defendant praying beside his prison cot or firing the fatal shot in obedience to a message borne by an angel from on high.

In the middle of lunch she said in dreamy reminiscence, apropos of nothing in particular: "I got this place clean once." "Isn't it clean now?" said Hilary Vance in a tone of anxious surprise.
"Blessed angel!" resumed the other sister in a still more feeble voice; "appear to Dagobert, also. Tell him, that we ask his forgiveness, for the grief our death will occasion him." "And let our old friend caress our poor Spoil-sport for us our faithful guardian," added Blanche, trying to smile.
It was given to Jesus, inasmuch as He, 'the Word, had from the beginning the office of revealing God; and that which was spoken of the Angel of the Covenant is true in highest reality of Jesus: 'My name is in Him. 'The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it and is safe. Observe the issue of this keeping; namely, the unity of believers.
I looked deeper than would the world, which doubtless, judging from the surface, would have condemned him rather than her, had all been known.
