They riddled all divines, and not unfrequently made them sceptics, disbelievers as bad as themselves. They were a jovial, healthful, generous, true and manly set of people." It is evident that W. Herndon, the speaker, is himself a disbeliever in Christianity, and addicted to the "newer and better thought of this age."
Nevertheless, I have in some cases witnessed marvels perfectly inexplicable by known natural laws; and I have heard and read of others attested by evidence I certainly cannot consider inferior to my own." "Why," he said, "I thought from your conversation last night you were a complete disbeliever." "I believe," answered I, "in very little of what I have seen.
By the righteousness of Him Who hath called thee into being and unto Whom ere long thou shalt return, if thou remainest, at the moment of death, a disbeliever in the signs of thy Lord thou shalt surely enter the gates of hell, and none of the deeds thy hands have wrought will profit thee, nor shalt thou find a patron nor anyone to plead for thee.
Pike is not an utter disbeliever in ghosts, and has had some singular experiences himself: for instance, he saw, one night, a boy's face, as plainly as ever he saw anything in his life, gazing at him.

To be the centre of one's universe is misery.

I want to emphasize the high character of Miss Halsey, as well as the casual way in which we happened to go to her rooms, for it puts out of the way all question of collusion.

On the other hand, by 1754 the town was divided into two factions, believers and disbelievers in Elizabeth; and Chitty was then a disbeliever. Chitty took but a few notes on January 31, 1753. 'I did not make it so distinct as I could wish, not thinking it could be the subject of so much inquiry, he admitted in 1754. If Elizabeth handed in a paper, Chitty should have produced it in 1754.
