Now, there is a common saying, which I suppose ninety out of a hundred people think comes out of the Bible, about faith being lost in sight. There is no such teaching in Scripture. True, in one aspect, faith is the antithesis of sight. True, Paul does say 'We walk by faith, not by sight. But that antithesis refers only to part of faith's significance.
Nor love me for the sake of what I would be if I could; O'er peaks as o'er the marshy flat, Still soars the sky of good. See, love, afar, the heavenly man The will of God would make; The thing I must be when I can, Love now, for faith's dear sake.
But when the arrangements for the night were made known to Ichabod, he caught hold of Faith's dress, as she stood at his bedside bidding him good-night, and gasped out, "No, no! you! I must have you! I shall die die to-night! And and I want to tell to tell you something. Stay, stay, Faith! it's the last last time, and I I shall never trouble any one any more."
CAPUCHIN. Ne custodias gregem meam! An Ahab is he, and a Jerobeam, Who the people from faith's unerring way, To the worship of idols would turn astray, TRUMPETER and RECRUIT. Let us not hear that again, we pray. CAPUCHIN. Such a Bramarbas, whose iron tooth Would seize all the strongholds of earth forsooth!
Armstrong and Faith walked home together, but few words were exchanged between them. Each was absorbed in reflection upon the scene just witnessed. In Faith's mind it was solemn, but devoid of gloom. With the hopefulness of health and youth, gleams of sunshine played over the grave. She looked beyond, and hoped and trusted. But with her father it was different.
Why, they say he knows nothing about that letter of Faith's to the JOURNAL because nobody liked to mention it to him. He never looks at a JOURNAL of course. But I thought he ought to know of this to prevent any such performances in future. He said he would 'discuss it with them. But of course he'd never think of it again after he got out of our gate.
With this, she took up the lantern, and crept along the side of the cathedral, until she came to a flight of stone steps. Descending them, she unlocked a small but strong door, cased with iron, and fastening it after her, proceeded along a narrow stone passage, which brought her to another door, opening upon the south aisle of Saint Faith's.
Satisfied with a brief survey of this frightful scene, Leonard turned to depart, and was passing the entrance to Saint Faith's, which stood open, when he caught sight of Judith standing at the foot of the broad stone steps, and holding a lamp in her hand.
But if my telling some American would help send the soldiers away, mayn't I tell then?" and Faith's face was very serious as she waited for his response. "Yes. I meant you weren't to tell Louise Trent, or those Young girls," said Nathan. "And don't tell any one unless you are sure it will be of some use. You see I may tell, if it comes to that." Faith drew a long breath.
Leonard reluctantly gave the required pledge. "I have unwittingly been the cause of much affliction to you," pursued Amabel "and would gladly see you happy, and there is one person, I think, who would make you so I mean Nizza Macascree. From what she said to me when we were alone together in the vaults of Saint Faith's, I am sure she is sincerely attached to you. Could you not requite her love?"
