Will the Lord fail to visit with similar judgments all those who, by keeping up and defending a godless system of education, prepare the young for infidelity, and all kinds of crimes and iniquities?
Greyne in the drawing-room and by Darrell in the servants' hall quietly, socially, perhaps pathetically. The pathos of the situation, it must be confessed, appealed more to the master than to the servant. Darrell was very gay, and inclined to be boastful, full of information as to how he would comport himself with "them there Frenchies," and how he would make "them pore, godless Arabs sit up."
They are blood-thirsty men." Young Stephen drew out a little flute and blew upon it a spiritual song, which sounded pleasingly far through the mountains. "Leave off that godless blowing," said Favart. "Why godless?" asked Edmond.
He was thus one of the thirteen men born perfect in a way. Adam begot him in his likeness and image, different from Cain, who had not been in his likeness and image. Thus Seth became, in a genuine sense, the father of the human race, especially the father of the pious, while the depraved and godless are descended from Cain.
Thereupon Pernhart had spoken in calm but weighty words, threatening that his brother, the Cardinal, would visit the heaviest wrath of the Pope on the old man and his daughter, unless he were ready and willing to make amends and atonement for his child's accursed sin, whereby a Christian man had fallen into the hands of the godless heathen.
"Yes," said I; "it's a vital part of the plan. We must find a man who is perfectly trustworthy and discreet.

"He's a godless person, with no character to lose, and no conception of what character means.
The great love that burned in me, the great love for Christ, led me to what most people would call godless ingratitude. I cursed my prosperity and only with difficulty bore my apparent wedded happiness. I felt as does the soldier, who is left behind at the warm, comfortable hearth while the army to the strains of music marches out to take the field.
If she could rise and see me with my bad finger, she would cry, and I should say, 'Never mind, ducky, I'm all right. Oh! dear, it's coming on to rain. I do hate a wet Saturday night poor women with their nice white stockings and their living to get," etc., etc. And yet age does not wither this godless old sinner, as people would say it ought to do.
"Mamma, wasn't he christianed?" asked the eldest. "Yes, of course he was christened, my dear," said the mother, sadly, thinking how very much of the ceremony had been thrown away upon the unbelieving, godless young man. Then she superintended the putting to bed, thinking what a terrible bar to her happiness had been created by that first unfortunate marriage of her husband's.
Young men who are trembling on the verge of youthful yieldings to passion, are tempted to fancy that they can sow sin and not reap suffering or harm. Would that they settled it in their thoughts that he who fires a fuse must expect an explosion! But the same rule applies to every godless form of life. Take our Manchester temptation, money or success in business. Take ambition.
