The sequel of the struggle was, that he went to Oxford, took his degree, read for orders, passed, and that Mr.
He urges men not to over-study language; their speech must be simple, the natural, spontaneous overflow of the heart. He was perfectly right; and when Christians obeyed him, they always spoke much better than when they thought out speeches beforehand. They said much less for one thing, and they said it much better.
His outward form was, like Lilian's, a model of symmetry, except in this, that, like hers, it was too exquisitely delicate; but when seemingly in the midst of perfect health, at any slight jar on the nerves he would become alarmingly ill.
