The prophecies of Holy Writ appear to me to have one great peculiarity, distinguishing them from all other prophecies, if any, real or pretended; and that peculiarity I deferentially conceive to be this: that, whereas all human prophecies profess to have but one fulfilment, the divine have avowedly many true fulfilments.
"She schemed for it from her first arrival here aimed avowedly to herself at nothing less than inducing the Marchese di Castelmare to marry her and succeeded. For all that, I'll tell you what, Adolfo there was a great deal more good in that poor girl than you would have thought." "Bah! Good in her Well, she's gone. She has had her reward, poor soul; and I pity her with all my heart.
In the interim, whilst the women were going to the apostles, the author tells us, some of the watch; some strictly disciplined Roman soldiers left their station to bring an account of what had passed, not to the Governor their General, nor to any of their own officers but to the chief priests of the Jews! that they assembled a council of the elders upon the occasion, and after deliberating what was to be done, induced the soldiers, by large bribes, to run the risk of being put to death themselves, upon the highly improbable chance of the Jewish rulers having influence sufficient with the Roman Proconsul to prevail on him to submit to the indelible infamy of neglecting the discipline of the army under his command, to such a degree, as to suffer an entire guard of soldiers avowedly to sleep upon their station, without any notice being taken of it! and to say his disciples came and stole him away whilst we slept. This incredible story is another instance how necessary it is, that those who do not adhere closely to the truth, should have extraordinary good memories to enable them to keep clear of absurdities, or palpable contradictions in their narrations.
As I understand, each of you accuses the other of robbing him." Master Paul agreed. Master Peter, gagged behind Clupp's hand, nodded dismally. Brilliana went on. "This is at first blush a dilemma, but our wit makes all clear. Each of you, avowedly in the King's name, did descend upon the dwelling of a disaffected rebel and make certain seizures there which have been duly sent to his Majesty.
The remarkable influence of Butler upon many minds was partly due to a perception of this omission. Butler avowedly appeals to the conscience, and therefore at least recognises God as directly revealed in a moral character. That seemed to supply a gap in the ordinary theology. But in the purely empirical view Butler's argument was untenable.
That which believed in the right and the probable eventual success of the South. 5th. That which believed in the right of the South, but which doubted or disbelieved its eventual success. 6th. That which, contrariwise, believed in the eventual success of the South, but doubted or disbelieved its right. 7th. That which covertly or avowedly justified slavery.
It was a feeling which he had seen before in his mother; but no chord within vibrated to it. Eva, after this, declined rapidly; there was no more any doubt of the event; the fondest hope could not be blinded. Her beautiful room was avowedly a sick room; and Miss Ophelia day and night performed the duties of a nurse, and never did her friends appreciate her value more than in that capacity.
Who can blame the boy if only the knowledge of what treatment he would avowedly receive from the young Indians if he should play the squaw and weep, kept him from shedding tears of misery and vexation.
Britain is altogether small, the mere taproot of her extended empire; Scotland, again, which alone the Scottish boy adopts in his imagination, is but a little part of that, and avowedly cold, sterile, and unpopulous. It is not so for nothing. I once seemed to have perceived in an American boy a greater readiness of sympathy for lands that are great, and rich, and growing, like his own.
Fuller were to surrender the ironic veil of fiction behind which he has preferred to hide his own spiritual adventures! Suppose he were avowedly to write the history of the arts and letters in Chicago! Suppose he were, rather more confidingly, to trace the career of an actual, attentive dilettante in his thunderous town! Mary Austin
