"But if it were ?" "Then I think," he said soberly "I think I'd feel as though there were nothing but emptiness beneath my feet!" "And you'd backslide ?" "How can I tell?" he expostulated. "It's not a fair question. I don't know what I'd do, but I do know it would need something damnable to shake my faith in you!" "You think so now," she said tolerantly. "But if appearances were against me "
But suppose God deals not either of these ways with the backslider, but shines upon him again, and seals up to him the remission of his sins a second time, saying, "I will heal their backslidings, and love them freely," what will the soul do now? Surely it will walk humbly now, and holily all its days. It will never backslide again, will it?
I wished that we had remained neighbor-less. I wished that the aborigines would scalp Felix Polydore and the writer of Modern Antiquities. Then we could land their brats on the Probate Court. I wished that this were the reign of Herod. I vowed I would backslide from the Presbyterian faith since it no longer included in its articles of belief the eternal damnation of infants.
From the sprinklin' of the head thar's but a single step downward to the holdin' of hands." "Well, I'm a weak man like the rest of you," rejoined young Adam, "an' though I'm sound on the doctrines in practice I sometimes backslide. I'm thankful, however, it's the lesser sin an' don't set so heavy on the stomach."

"It would be pretty serious for me to backslide now, considering the state of my health," reflected Joel.
The king who make light of the word of God was taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar, and his children brought up in front of him and every one slain: his eyes were put out of his head; and he was bound in fetters of brass and cast into a dungeon in Babylon. Surely it is an evil and a bitter thing to backslide, but the Lord would win you back with the message of His Work.
"She brought me up by hand, for a long time, hid my pipes, wanted me to manicure my nails, wouldn't let me eat in my shirt sleeves or drink my coffee out of the saucer. But her friend, Willis, likes me, as is, so she's let me backslide without a murmur." Amos paused and looked out at the shimmering lake. "John, I wish I had five daughters. There's nothing like 'em in the world."
Of course a man can, if he chooses, get in extra steps enough to keep his feet warm, but we contend that no quadrille, where they only touch hands, go down in the middle, and alamand left, can work upon a man's religion enough to cause him to backslide.
Tend to his morals, Philury, men are prone to backslide; start him off reg'lar to meetin', keep clean bandannas in his pocket, let him wear his gingham neckties, he'll cry a good deal and it haint no use to spile his silk ones. Oh, Philury! you won't lose nothin' if you are good to that dear man. Put salt enough on the pork when you kill, and don't let Josiah eat too much sassage.
But there; indeed I will not backslide into weak complaints again," she added, compunctuously. "Modify your grief, dear Sybil, but do not attempt entirely to suppress it. Nature is not to be so restrained," said Lyon Berners, kindly.
