Paul too much, to believe it possible that he could mean anything so obviously heathenish, as that first-sight meaning. My friend looked grave and anxious; but I did not suspect how deeply I had shocked him, until many weeks after.
We think on the Saviour; we love him, and will give up our hearts to him, and renounce all our old heathenish customs. We agree with the Innuit who live on the east coast opposite us. We, and our wives and our children, in our houses and our tents, speak of the Saviour becoming man, of his sufferings and death. We cannot deny that we are sinners, but we think the Saviour will be gracious to us."
I can see it, now, in my mind's eye, with dimity curtains at the windows, and roses growing over the porch." "I hope you will never see those dimity curtains anywhere but in your mind's eye," said Marian. "It's a heathenish old place, and, anyway, it's too far away from our house." "Papa says I can have a pony and cart," said Patty; "and I could drive over every day."
Shutting the door hastily, Elsie flung herself upon the couch, covering her face and pressing her fingers upon her closed eyes. What a heathenish place! She really didn't possess the sort of vocabulary to express the enormity of it. How should she get away? Suppose there were no train to-night? Suppose she should have to remain until morning?

It seems to me quite heathenish.
The horror and indignation of the severe Puritans of New Plymouth at this outbreak of licentiousness, was great indeed. In their eyes almost every amusement was looked upon as a sin; and the most innocent village dance round a maypole was regarded as nearly allied to the heathenish games in honor of the Goddess Flora.
Peter's itself fails to produce. "I think," said the sculptor, "it is to the aperture in the dome that great Eye, gazing heavenward that the Pantheon owes the peculiarity of its effect. It is so heathenish, as it were, so unlike all the snugness of our modern civilization! Look, too, at the pavement, directly beneath the open space!
Endowed with spiritual wisdom and understanding; possessed of inward experience of the power of divine truth; inflamed with zeal for the glory of God, love to his work, and compassion to the perishing souls of men, he is to endeavor to acquaint himself with the spiritual state of his flock; and to feed them, not with heathenish and Arminian harangues, but with the gospel of Christ, the sincere milk of the word, diligently preaching and rightly dividing it, according to their diversified state and condition, 1 Pet. v. 3; 2 Cor. v. 11; 1 Cor. ix. 16.
