Like this, also, is their pretence that the estate of bishops is a more perfect estate, while these yet do nothing else but ride about pompously on their fine horses, and now and then consecrate churches and altars, and baptise bells. Such puffed-up and swollen words are the whole spiritual law of the Pope, throughout.
"Well, uncle, I have longed to consecrate the gorge to Christ by having a shrine there, where I might keep a lamp burning." "It is a most pious thought, child." "And so, dear uncle, I thought that you would undertake the work.
What makes the inaction more inexplicable is, that while these negotiations were pending, an Act of Parliament was actually passed which enabled "the Bishop of London to admit foreign candidates to the order of deacon or priest, but gave no permission to consecrate a bishop for Connecticut or for any of the American States."
I do not advise you, young man, even if my illustration strike your fancy, to consecrate the flower of your life to painting the bowl of a pipe, for, let me assure you, the stain of a reverie-breeding narcotic may strike deeper than you think for. Violins, too, the sweet old Amati! the divine Stradivarius!
His face was red, a vein in his forehead was swollen, and the muscles of his cheeks quivered. "What is this love that consecrates marriage?" he repeated. "What love?" said the lady. "The ordinary love of husband and wife." "And how, then, can ordinary love consecrate marriage?" continued the nervous gentleman, still excited, and with a displeased air.
"I have no doubt that many fail here by confounding temptation with sin. "They pray they consecrate they believe that they receive, and they rejoice.

"They confound temptation with sin.
The canons of ancient discipline, by requiring several episcopal qualifications, of age, station, &c., restrained, in some measure, the indiscriminate caprice of the electors. The authority of the provincial bishops, who were assembled in the vacant church to consecrate the choice of the people, was interposed to moderate their passions and to correct their mistakes.
While Goethe represented the actual thoughts and feelings of his age, Schiller reflected its ideal yearnings; while the practical result of Goethe's influence was to develop the capacities of each individual to their utmost extent, Schiller's aim was to lead men to consecrate their gifts to the good, the beautiful, and the true, the ethical trinity of the ages.
From outside came a long, impatient wail from two thousand throats: "We-want-to-go-to-the-Stadium!" "What of that, McTurkle!" demanded Bud, sternly. "The spirit of Harvard speaks! Her sons demand to be led to the scene of the conflict that with mighty voices they may er consecrate the field to victory!" "But but what is it you wish me to do?" stammered the dazed McTurkle, visibly affected.
This reasoning and its disastrous consequences are surely not Catholic. We emphasise the necessity for the organizer to consecrate his life solely to this proposed work. At this price alone will he make it a success. Without doubt, it is the work of a man, the work of a life.
