He is in the image of God, and not until he has come to be in the image, of God will he be a man. What is a statue? I can see a nose, a mouth, appearing out of the marble block. No, it is not a statue, it is a half-done statue. Wait until the sculptor is through, then you will see the statue. Not till God is done will you see a man, and you never saw one except as you saw him in Jesus of Nazareth.
Or Florence received a letter asking her if she would undertake to write three or four stories for such a paper, the terms to be what she herself liked to ask. She looked at them all wistfully. It is true she had not yet lighted a fire in her room, but she put a match to it now, in order to burn the publishers' letters. The story she was copying was about half-done.
Moreover, I was too much troubled to pray; my conscience, still restive and timid, gave me no rest during the time that I was on my knees, I always felt remorse gnaw at me then because of the slovenly and half-done tasks, and because of the feelings of hate I had for the "Big Ape" and the "Bull of Apis," emotions that I was obliged to hide and disguise until I shuddered at the falsehoods I spoke and acted.
Surely a sound at the gate! She sat up, crimson. Well? she was going to make friends with her guardian to bury the hatchet for a whole fortnight at least. Only that. Nothing more nothing nothing! Steps approached. She hastily unearthed a neglected work-basket, and a very ancient piece of half-done embroidery. Was there a thimble anywhere or needles! Yes! by good luck. Heavens! what shamming!
John Pendleton laughed suddenly and aloud. The nurse, coming in at that moment, heard the laugh, and beat a hurried but a very silent retreat. He had the air of a frightened cook who, seeing the danger of a breath of cold air striking a half-done cake, hastily shuts the oven door. "Aren't you getting a little mixed?" asked John Pendleton of Pollyanna. The little girl laughed. "Maybe.
On the contrary, you find it beginning as new scientific discoveries and inventions now begin here a little and there a little, the same thing half-done in various half-ways, and so as no one who knew the best way would ever have begun.
I was shaving, and only half-done, but I hastily wiped off my face, dropped into a rocking-chair, took the forlorn little boy into my arms, and kissed him, caressed him, sympathized with him, and devoted myself entirely to the task and pleasure of comforting him.
He knew his mother would say it was only half-done. To be sure, Delia's mother was a great novel-reader and had neglected her household many a time for an interesting book. But she wrote neither stories nor verses. "Of course, you will do as you like. And you think you are the only one that will suffer. But a mother has many sorrowful hours over a son's unhappiness and discomfort."
"All good things go in threes," said she, "I am asked to stand godmother again. The child is quite black, only it has white paws, but with that exception, it has not a single white hair on its whole body; this only happens once every few years, you will let me go, won't you?" "Top-off! Half-done!" answered the mouse, "they are such odd names, they make me very thoughtful."
Order and regularity were good things in their way, but better do the work of God irregularly than let it be half-done or undone in the regular way. He predicted that even the earnest parochial clergy of his day would prove a mere rope of sand a prophecy which subsequent events will scarcely endorse. Not that John Wesley ever desired to upset the parochial system.
