Cultured Baalite, loyal wife, Jezebel, Martyr in a noble strife, Jezebel; Protestant for light and sweetness 'gainst the narrow incompleteness Of Elijah and Elisha's view of life, Jezebel; Of Elijah and Elisha's view of life. Why do ghosts walk at Christmas? What seduction hath Yule Tide for these phantastic fellows, that it lures them from their warm fireplaces?
"Not as well as you do that of the country, doubtless." "Well, you see, I ain't had so much of it." "No, of course not. It does so depend upon what one is accustomed to. Now I fancy I should be perfectly desperate in your village." One corner of Captain Elisha's mouth curled upward. "I shouldn't be surprised," he admitted. "Desperately lonely, I mean." "Yes'm. I judged that was what you meant.
When the outward giving of goods is token of inward surrender of self, it is accepted. When it is a substitute for that, it is rejected. No doubt, too, Naaman thought that Elisha was, like the sorcerers of heathenism, very accessible to gifts; and if he had come to believe in Elisha's God, he had yet to learn the loving- kindness of the God in whom he had come to believe.
The present Jericho is a small Arab village, poorly built, with a few exceptions, and having nothing beautiful in or around it but the large oleanders that grow in the ground made moist by water from Elisha's Fountain. We had satisfactory accommodations at the hotel, which is one of the few good houses there.
The young man was so astonished that he actually removed his feet from the desk. Then he burst into a laugh. "An automobile?" he repeated. "Captain, has the influence of the metropolis made you a sport already? Do you want to buy a car?" "Buy one?" It was Captain Elisha's turn to show irritation. "Buy one of them things? Me? I wouldn't buy one of 'em, or run one of 'em, for somethin', I tell you!
The king adduced as a precedent the action of Elijah, who "went to show himself unto Ahab," and demanded that Isaiah, too, should appear before him. The prophet, on the other hand, modelled his conduct after Elisha's, who permitted the kings of Israel, and Judah, and Edom, to come to him.
Notice that he does not ask Elisha's sanction to his intended compromise, but simply announces his intention, and hopes for forgiveness. It looks ill when a man, in the first fervour of adopting a new faith, is casting about for ways to reconcile it with the public profession of his old abandoned one.
Sylvester, plainly annoyed, did not reply. But Captain Elisha's concern was evident. "The poor critter!" he exclaimed. "What did you do?" "The last I saw of him he was sitting in the mud, looking at the upset. I didn't linger. Peters took the wheel, and we beat it. Lucky the cop didn't spot the license number. Might have cost me fifty. They've had me up for speeding twice before.
"Spit it out, son," said Old Man Curry. "I'd sort of like to know how crazy I am." "Fair enough!" said the Bald-faced Kid. "Elisha's a good horse a cracking good horse but to-morrow's the end of the meeting and you've gone and saved him up to slip him into the toughest race on the card on a day when all the burglars at the track will be levelling for the get-away money!
Then, further, let me remind you that this power, which is bestowed on condition of contact, is given before duties are commanded. This king, in our acted parable, first had the touch of Elisha's fingers, and then received the command from Elisha's lips, 'Shoot! So Jesus Christ gives before He commands, and commands nothing which He has not fitted us to perform.
