On Paul's side there was no thought of a flirtation, and on the side of the Baroness there was not much thought of anything else, so that they got on most famously together, for it is always richer sport in a case of this kind to have one of the parties concerned in earnest Paul took all the soulful shop, on the strength of which the lady had patrolled Europe and the United States on a sort of sentimental journey, to be as serious as the Evangels, and the discussion of it made the drive an undiluted pleasure to him.
Perhaps the discoverer of an asteroid or planetary moon may not claim, in the present advanced stage of human knowledge, to rank among the flying evangels of history; but he who found the great planet third in rank among the worlds of the solar system, a world having a mass nearly seventeen times as great as that of our own, may well be regarded as one of the immortals.
Mr. Manners aroused me by a touch, and I looked up quickly. So quickly that I surprised the trace of a smile about his weak mouth. Were I to die to-morrow, I would swear to this on the Evangels. Nor was it the smile which compels itself upon the weak in serious moments. Nay, there was in it something malicious. And Mr. Manners could not even act.
But gaze on One, who seeks in all around him, Lessons of good to cheer him on his way, As every golden year through life hath found him Nearer the realms of Heaven's eternal day. With him events of earth are sweet evangels, All meaner things but step-stones hurled beneath; Whilst nobler lead to Eden-realms of angels, With shining robes, and crown, and amaranth wreath.
We know persons whose brows are shaggy, eyes oblique, noses ominously longitudinal, and mouths straggling along in unusual and unexpected directions; and yet they are men and women of so much soul that we love to look upon them, and their faces are sweet evangels." It was N. P. Willis, I think, who added to the beatitudes "Blessed are the joy-makers."
There is, perhaps, evidence in the Christian Evangels: where we see the Jewish commonalty on excellent good terms with the Roman soldier, and Jesus consorting freindily with Tiberius' centurions and tax-gatherers; but the Jewish national leaders as the enemies of both of the Romans, and of the democratic Nazarene.
"I will give you half an hour, but as I live, I will leave you hanging there." The man's brown hand trembled as he clutched his rifle barrel. "'Tis a hard country, sir," he said. "I'm lost. I swear it on the evangels." "A hard country!" cried Clark. "A man would have to walk over it but once to know it. I believe you are a damned traitor and perjurer, in spite of your oath, a British spy."
"Nay," she had said, a little contemptuously, in answer to some remark: "Mistress Maude is too good to consort with us poor Catholics. She is a great clerk, quotha! and hath Sir John de Wycliffe his homilies and evangels at her tongue's end. Marry, I count in another twelvemonth every soul in this Castle saving me shall be a Lollard." Maude was startled.
"If we take our miseries to God, He can turn them into blessed evangels," I replied softly. "Where did you learn that secret, Medoline?" "It was Mr. Bowen who taught me. God left him in the darkness, and then gave him songs in the night such grand harmonies, his life became like a thanksgiving Psalm." "I hope you are not going to indulge in cant, Medoline.
But now they all became flaming evangels, and "spake the word of God with boldness." A personal Pentecost will help the soul-winner to overcome timidity, give utterance and a holy boldness, and make effective the words he speaks. It is the supreme need of the Church to-day.
