These various phases of the love of Christ as manifesting the divine love, may not be capable of perfect harmonising in our thoughts, but they do blend into one, and by reason of them all, 'God commendeth His love toward us in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. We have to think not only of Abraham who gave up, but of the unresisting, innocent Isaac, bearing on his shoulders the wood for the burnt offering, as the Christ bore the Cross on His, and suffering himself to be bound upon the pile, not only by the cords that tied his limbs, but by the cords of obedience and submission, and in both we have to bow before the Apocalypse of divine love.
The rustling heard at intervals, was but the fluttering of bright wings amid the foliage; or the rushing of some mountebank squirrel in reckless evolution among the branches sounds harmonising with the scene.
The setting for Chippendale furniture was a panelled dado, classic mantelpiece, architraves and frieze, and stretched over sidewalks, above dado, was silk or paper showing a large pattern harmonising with the furniture. The Chinese craze brought about a fashion for Chinese wall papers with Chinese designs. This Chinese fashion continued for fifty years.
Our master became, as time went on, less and less interested in the mere dexterous juxtaposition of brilliantly harmonising and brilliantly contrasting tints, in piquancy, gaiety, and sparkle of colour, to be achieved for its own sake.
One who knows him far better than I do said to me the other day, "Charles Gore has not aimed at harmonising his ideas with the Gospel, but of fusing his whole spirit into the Divine Wisdom." In one, and only one, respect, this salience of Dr. Gore may be likened to the political prominence of Mr. Lloyd George.
Blessed Sunday Bells, ringing so tranquilly in their entranced and happy ears! Blessed Sunday peace and quiet, harmonising with the calmness in their souls, and making holy air around them! Blessed twilight stealing on, and shading her so soothingly and gravely, as she falls asleep, like a hushed child, upon the bosom she has clung to! Oh load of love and trustfulness that lies to lightly there!
A second meaning of force is that of compulsion from without, as when a strong man gets hold of a weak one and by exertion of physical strength compels him to do something that he is disinclined to do, or when one forces another by threat of punishment. In this latter sense no one dreams of harmonising force with moral action. Neither law nor common sense does so.
His worthless law for harmonising the passions without restraining them need not detain us. The structure of society, by which he proposed to realise the benefits of his discovery, was based on co-operation, but was not socialistic.
It is not likely that exchanging producing for buying and buying for selling and selling for worrying and worrying for succeeding and succeeding for marrying and marrying for having children and having children for directing and directing for explaining and explaining for complaining and complaining for winning and winning for receiving and receiving for anticipating and anticipating for remaining, it is not likely that being for being and producing for explaining and suffering for producing and winning for suffering and continuing for winning and spending for continuing can be meaning that largely continuing is not needing producing and needing producing is not achieving existing and achieving existing is expressing explaining and expressing explaining is convincing realising and convincing realising is active repetition and active repetition is expressing complete being and expressing complete being is undertaking disagreeing and undertaking disagreeing is winning harmonising and winning harmonising is showing objection and showing objection is fulfilling producing and fulfilling producing is understanding creation and undertaking creation is destroying filling and destroying filling is arranging existing and arranging existing is demonstrating anything and demonstrating anything is fulfilling something and fulfilling something is emptying filling and emptying filling is creating action and creating action is suggesting realisation and suggesting realisation is expecting working and expecting working is attending continuing.
Are we going to recognise and accentuate this difference and to arrange our Utopian organisation to play upon it, are we to have two primary classes of human being, harmonising indeed and reacting, but following essentially different lives, or are we going to minimise this difference in every possible way?
