In fact, Christianity added no new doctrine invented no new theory and is far from being clear and explicit in its teachings on the subject, the result being that the early Christians were divided among themselves on the matter, different sects and schools favoring different doctrines, each and all of which had been "derived from pagan and heathen sources."
Philosophy, supported by the duc de Choiseul, has repressed them; but the high clergy and the <mesdames royales> are attached strongly to them, and you would interest them in your fortune by favoring these worthy fathers."
Smylie's papers, the examining chaplain sighed, and the archdeacon groaned. But man is proverbially short-sighted.

Madame de Villegry indeed cared little about standing well in public opinion, but rather the contrary; she would not, however, for the world have been willing, by too openly favoring one man among her admirers, to run the risk of putting the rest to flight.
The Democratic platform condemned as criminal the large expenditures of the recent administration, but showed some inconsistency by favoring such policies as a large navy, generous pensions, large expenditures for the improvement of rivers and harbors which would necessitate the expenditure of great sums. The regulation of railways and corporations was demanded by both parties.
But the young that had even such slight care had a survival advantage over their rivals, and would transmit the rudimentary instinct to their offspring.
