I have no doubt it was very badly put, but she listened seriously. Then she said: "That's very nice of you to want me, but I am going to marry the president of the Omega Company." I turned sick with despair at these words so gently said, and a pang of fierce jealousy, tinged with wonder, shot through me.
"No," said the little man, mopping the perspiration from his shining head, "quiet as lambs to-day. Their own mothers wouldn't have known the Board from a Sunday-school." I inquired about Omega. "Flat as a pancake," said the little man. "Nothing doing." "What! Is it down?" I exclaimed with some astonishment. "Lord bless you, no!" said Wallbridge, surprised in his turn.
Amen. Behold! he is coming with clouds, and every eye shall see him, and they also who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth shall lament bitterly, smiting their bosoms, because of him: even so! Amen. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, saith the Lord, who is, and who was, and who is coming the Almighty.
This conception was embodied in the words of Christ, when He said, ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end’. Man is the sum of Creation, and the Perfect Man is the expression of the complete thought of the Creator—the Word of God. Consider the world of created beings, how varied and diverse they are in species, yet with one sole origin.
He was wonderfully kind about informing as to whom it was worth my while to be agreeable. . . . Don't trouble with Brown; be pleasant to Jones, but look out for Robinson, the fellow with a Kappa Iota Omega pin. He had hardly warned me against Robinson, before that young man was addressing me with great cheerfulness.
"Christ is coming, oh, the heavenly sight! Our Beloved can't delay, For his bride is robed in snowy white, Ready for the marriage-day." Amen. "Even so come, Lord Jesus." Then will appear the great "Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending." In the beginning he "created the heaven and the earth."
Give yourselves up to God; that is the Alpha and the Omega of all goodness, and wherever that foundation is really laid, on it will rise the fair building of a life which is a temple, adorned with whatever things are lovely and of good report.
When I had satisfied myself that I lacked this grand requisite, I turned my attention to the subject again only to find that No. 1 was quite alone in its glory. It was the Alpha and Omega of the preliminary requisites. I should never be able to get a solitary invitation.
Now inasmuch as we have plenty of wit, we thought it would be a good thing to parade our dear little honor, or dishonor, to catch an old boy; but that old boy, my dear heart, knows the Alpha and Omega of female tricks, which means that you could easier put salt on a sparrow's tail than to make me believe I have anything to do with your little affair.
It is the same blessed message which was given from His own lips long centuries after, when He spoke from heaven to John in Patmos, and said, 'I am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last. The first letter of the Greek alphabet, and the last letter of the Greek alphabet, and all the letters that lie between, and all the words that you can make out of the letters they are all from Him, and He underlies everything.
