Apart from the secondary articles of faith which differentiated the churches, their main principles may be epitomised as follows: There are seven heavens, and the seventh is the Paradise of the "divine men." There dwell the Holy Trinity, the Mother of Jesus, the Archangels, and various Christs who have visited our planet. It is not a question of material bodies, but of spiritual principles.
The difference between the sea-life then and now can be no better epitomised than in Dana's description of the dress of the sailor of his day: "The trousers tight around the hips, and thence hanging long and loose around the feet, a superabundance of checked shirt, a low-crowned, well- varnished black hat, worn on the back of the head, with half a fathom of black ribbon hanging over the left eye, and a peculiar tie to the black silk neckerchief."
The tribe and their many delinquencies have even supplied us with a bit of the proverbial philosophy in which not a little of our local history is epitomised. The saying, "As pat as thievin' to a tinker" is probably quoted among us as frequently as any other, except, perhaps, one which refers to Jerry Dunne's basket.
The life of man may be comprehensively epitomised almost to a point, or expanded out ad infinitum. He was born, he died, is its lowest term. Its highest is not definable. Yet there are main points, amid the little details of their career, which it would be unpardonable to pass over in silence. To these we shall briefly refer before letting the curtain fall.
In fur and feather we run epitomised." "I know," said the Woman of the World; "I have heard it all so often. It is nonsense; I can prove it to you." "That is easy," observed the Philosopher. "The Sermon on the Mount itself has been proved nonsense among others, by a bishop. Nonsense is the reverse side of the pattern the tangled ends of the thread that Wisdom weaves."
But there are none that do not prefer peace to war, until, inflamed and roused by those above them who play this game of empires, they must don the panoply of battle and go forth. In its way that hospital at La Panne epitomised the whole tragedy of the great war.
Frederick went over to his files and drew out a drawer labelled "Thomas Travers." In it were packets, methodically arranged. He went over the letters. They were from everywhere China, Rangoon, Australia, South Africa, the Gold Coast, Patagonia, Armenia, Alaska. Briefly and infrequently written, they epitomised the wanderer's life.
The loss of the potato in this year, and its cause, are thus epitomised in the following extract from the Report of the London Tavern Committee: "From the most authentic communications, it appeared that the bad quality and partial failure of the potato crop of the preceding year the consequence of the excessive and protracted humidity of the season had been a principal cause of the distress, and that it had been greatly aggravated by the rotting of the potatoes in the pits in which they were stored.
I was in a scrap of America which the onrushing tide of world advancement had left stranded and forgotten. Here a people of unmixed British stock lived primitive lives, fought feudal wars, and shrined every virtue high except regard for human life. These four narrow walls in part epitomised that life.
The details as set forth in the "story" were gruesomely interesting enough from a morbid point of view; but from the point of view of the police they were both meagre and unsatisfactory. It was murder unquestionably and murder of a most brutal character. The headline had epitomised it the face was mutilated beyond recognition.
