Dale used to say that if ever he preached a good sermon, a sermon that really helped men, it was due to the prayers of his people as much as to anything he had done himself. If in all our churches we would but proclaim a truce to our bickerings and fault-findings, and try what prayer can do!
Remarks of Louis upon court etiquette. They are unanswerable. Conquest of Holland determined on. Henrietta embassadress to England. Louise Rénée. The bribe. Constant bickerings. Alliance between France and England. Festivities thereon. Maria Theresa. Vivacity of Henrietta. Henrietta poisoned. Intense suffering. Arrival of the king. Death scene of Henrietta. Suspicion of Louis.
Michelangelo knew the difficulties to be encountered the bickerings, jealousies and criticisms that were inseparable from the work and was only moved to accept the place on Pope Paul's declaration that no one else could do as well, and that it was the will of God. Michelangelo looked upon the performance as a duty and accepted the task, refusing to take any recompense for his services.
Each proposition was received contemptuously, with angry bickerings and mutterings. At last the French captains intimated that they desired to part company. Captain Morgan endeavoured to dissuade them from this resolution by using every flattery his adroit nature could suggest.

Let us not recall the bickerings and the strifes, let the grass watered by Lethe's sweet spring creep over the scars in the bright prospect which lies under our loving gaze. Let us hold in our heart the tears in beauty's eyes; the smile that curls her crimson lips, and the hope that burns upon her brow.
Hayes was of a very indulgent temper, yet she was so unhappy as to be frequently jarring, and a change of climate having made no alteration in her temper, she continued her same passionate nature, and frequent bickerings and disputes with her neighbours, as well as before in the country. In this business they picked up money, and Mr.
And of enlightenment on a particular subject, in which she was acutely and personally interested, she stood in some need.
