For this reason a future life is after all best represented by those frankly material ideals which most Christians being Platonists are wont to despise. It would be genuine happiness for a Jew to rise again in the flesh and live for ever in Ezekiel's New Jerusalem, with its ceremonial glories and civic order.
Ezekiel's answer was evasive, and as a punishment for his little faith, he had to end his days in Babylon, and was not granted even burial in the soil of Palestine. God then dropped the dew of heaven upon the dry bones, and "sinews were upon them, and flesh came up, and skin covered them above."
And though Enoch and Elias went into the temple through a gate which certainly may be called Beautiful, the rest of us have to find our way to it through Ezekiel's low-bowed door and the vault full of creeping things and all manner of abominable beasts. Nevertheless, there is a certain frame of mind to which a cemetery is, if not an antidote, at least an alleviation.
The scenes that succeeded were many: episodes from profane and sacred histories; simulacra of the great saints. A war between giants and pygmies was shown with all its accompanying horrors. The firmament dripped crimson. The four cryptic creatures of Ezekiel's vision came out of the north, a great cloud of "infolding fire" and the colour was amber.
Whole nations will sink thus; as the Jews sank in Ezekiel's time, and again in our Lord's time; and be conquered, trampled on, counted for nothing, because they were worth nothing. But now suppose, again, that the children, when their father's sins are visited on them, are NOT incorrigible.
Also an interpretation, in part, of the city of Ezekiel's Vision, showing its spiritual character. Also an interpretation of the greater part of the Revelation of St. John; giving to portions an entirely new reading, especially to the whole of the 20th chapter. TOIL AND TRIAL, A Story of London Life. By Mrs. By Mrs. T.K. HERVEY. With Frontispiece by WEIR. Notices of "Toil and Trial."
"Who dare say that?" demanded Blandford, angrily. "Your wife that was Mrs. Demorest ez is told it to her mother," returned Ezekiel, lazily. The blow struck deeper than even Ezekiel's dry malice imagined. For an instant, Blandford remained stupefied.
They are culpably blind who mistake the creature for the Creator. And to this agree their functions as exercised in the farther developments of this book, as we shall see. One plausible objection to this interpretation is grounded on the fact that their "faces" are the same as those of Ezekiel's angels, "of an ox, or young calf, of a lion, of a man, and of an eagle."
"Ye ain't afraid o' bein' left alone with the ghost that haunts the garden, Miss Rosita?" "After YOU never-r-r." "I'll find Mrs. Demorest and send her to ye," said Ezekiel, hesitatingly. "Eh, to attract here the ghost? Thank you, no, very mooch." Ezekiel's face contracted until nothing but his bright peering gray eyes could be seen. "Attract the ghost!" he echoed.
With this income he could relieve the family from debt, make his father's last years comfortable, and smooth Ezekiel's path to the bar. When, however, he announced his good luck to Mr. Gore, and his intention of immediately going home to accept the position, that gentleman, to Mr. Webster's great surprise, strongly urged a contrary course.
