For his more modern sense, deeply Christianised as it is, assumes almost without argument the sacredness of passion and its claim wherein a vast difference between himself and that solitary wrestler in Marrisdale. Meanwhile he kept all his hopes and fears to himself. Mrs.
For instance, the old story of the "Quest of the Graal," best known to modern readers through Tennyson's "Idylls of the King," has been Christianised and consecrated. But, just now, we are going to listen to Catholic poets and teachers only. We begin with the work of poets.
It so happened that Samdadchiemba, the guide of the missionaries a Christianised Oriental, but withal a very merry fellow was present during this interview, but he sat drinking his tea without uttering a word. All on a sudden he knitted his brows, rose, and came to the door.

He runs, therefore, little risk of being either Russianised or Christianised by conquest; and being of an intellectual fibre superior to that of the Russians, and, as far as the mass of the population is concerned, being physically as well gifted, it may be supposed that he will survive, if he cannot avert, his political subjugation.
The Mercury goes on to quote from the Pall Mall, and I too go on quoting to show that these things are known and acknowledged to have taken place in a colony like Sierra Leone, which has had unequalled opportunities of becoming christianised for more than one hundred years, and now has more than one hundred and thirty places of Christian worship in it.
The whole had the appearance of a mid-summer and sylvan Christmas-tree al fresco. Yet we were already well enough acquainted in the Gilberts to recognise it, at the first sight, for a piece of wizardry, or, as they say in the group, of Devil-work.
