Besides, he has fallen into the bad habit of uttering moral platitudes. He is always telling us that to be good is to be good, and that to be bad is to be wicked. At times he is almost edifying. Robert Elsmere is of course a masterpiece a masterpiece of the "genre ennuyeux," the one form of literature that the English people seems thoroughly to enjoy.
In this edifying strain the conversation flowed on until the evening grew late and the party began to grow alarmed. "I do hope nothing has happened to him," said Mrs Loper, with a solemnised face. "I think not.
So, that those who went to laugh at the sincere simplicity of the pious quakers, were rebuked by a very edifying discourse on the moral duties of a Christian's life. Upon the whole, however, this, to the best of my recollection, was another unsatisfactory year.
Julia Cloud as she lay down to sleep found herself wondering whether her children would always show so much good sense in picking out their friends as they had done this time.

It is an edifying ending."

I do not know whether other people carry their worldly affairs to the church door.
Raising the planking high above his head he hurled it into the river. "Ladies and gentlemen," announced Teddy Tucker, in a loud voice, "you have witnessed a most satisfying, edifying, gratifying, ennobling, superb and sublime spectacular prelude, as our press agent would say.
It would not be edifying to follow the great Chief through the various campaigns including those of Minisink and Mohawk Valley in which he was engaged until the Treaty of 1782 put an end to the sanguinary war.
