The acting of Mary Anderson, from the first moment of her career, was of the kind that needs that deep insight and broad judgment, aiming to recognise and rightly estimate its worth. Yet few performers of the day were so liberally favoured with the monitions of dullness and the ponderous patronage of self-complacent folly.
Or if she chooses to embrace the doctrine of direct illumination from heaven, and to hear voices bidding her to go or come, to do or abstain from doing, am I too to shape my conduct after these fancied monitions?
Like too many other men, who are not to be turned from the path of right by pleasure, by lucre or by danger, he mistook the impulses of his pride and resentment for the monitions of conscience, and deceived himself into a belief that, in treating friends and foes with indiscriminate insolence and asperity, he was merely showing his Christian faithfulness and courage.
Vaughan is, not to be afraid of his own evident liking for Fox; of his own evident liking for Tauler and his school; not to put aside the question which their doctrines involve, with such half-utterances as The Quakers are wrong, I think, in separating particular movements and monitions as Divine.
In fact, there is, perhaps, no race upon earth, less disposed, by nature, to the monitions of Christianity, than the people of the South Seas.

It neither permits the haughtiest to be free from the monitions, nor leaves the humblest without the consolation of a knowledge of another life.
The result of this relation was a formal, petrifying, unyielding system, a system which, from the fact of its satisfying neither, was kept up the more rigidly; on the one side from a morbid conscience, which reiterated its monitions against the dictates of the natural heart; on the other, out of respect and timidity. Grandfather Warren was a little, lean, leather-colored man.
But when the ex-chief of the Egyptians whom the Lord had already convinced that He considered him worthy of the aid his name promised adjured them to rely on God's omnipotence, his words produced a very different effect from those uttered by Aaron whose monitions they had heard daily since their departure.
'No, he said slowly, 'I ought to have known you would not remember, of course. But I do. I brought out those Pants. Your mordant pen tore them to tatters. You convinced me that I had mistaken my career, and, thanks to your monitions, I ceased to practise as a Poet, and became the Photographer you now behold! 'And I have known poets, I said encouragingly, 'who have ended far less creditably.
