Any scheme, however rough and ready, which will fix men or their intention of settling on the land in Britain at the moment of demobilisation will be worth a hundred better-laid plans which have waited for perfection till that one precious moment is overpast. While doctors quarrel, or lay their heads together, the patient dies.
But when the outer access to earth is fast closed, the inner portal that opens on heaven is set wide, and God says to His child, 'Come, enter into thy chambers and shut thy doors about thee ... until the indignation be overpast! Death is a superficial thing, and a transitory thing a darkness that is caused by the light, and a darkness that ends in the light a trifle, if you measure it by duration; a trifle if you measure it by depth.
And it seems to me that women must always be ready to tend the sick even in times of peril. I seem to hear a call that bids me offer myself for this work; but none else shall suffer through me. If I go, I return hither no more. I shall live amongst the sick until this judgment be overpast, or until I myself be called hence, as may well be." All faces were grave and full of awe.
If such were his thoughts, he is disappointed of his sacrilege; for Bishop Eardulf and Abbot Eadred devout and strenuous persons having timely warning of his approach, carry away the sainted body from Lindisfarne, and for nine years hide with it up and down the distracted northern counties, now here, now there, moving that sacred treasure from place to place until this bitterness is overpast, and holy persons and things, dead or living, are no longer in danger, and the bodies of saints may rest safely in fixed shrines; the pagan armies and disorderly persons of all kinds having been converted or suppressed in the mean time; for which good deed the royal Alfred in whose calendar St.

They either escape by being mercifully taken away before it, or by being safely preserved in the midst of the judgment, until the indignation be overpast. When a man's ways please the Lord, he will make his enemies to be at peace with him.
There are, it is true, trials when the good man must appeal to God from the injustice of man; and amidst the whining candour or hissing of envy, erect a pavilion in his own mind to retire to, till the rumour be overpast; nay, the darts of undeserved censure may pierce an innocent tender bosom through with many sorrows; but these are all exceptions to general rules.
But his gaoler was very uneasy, and wandered about the dark passages like a restless spirit. Neither could he help breathing his despair to Martin, as hours passed away and no messenger returned from Drogo with the key. But the answer from the captive was always full of hope. "Be of good cheer, for there has been with me an angel of God, who has assured me that the tyranny will soon be overpast.
"Shelter ye under the shadow of my wings, O people, and I will comfort you, and ye shall not be dismayed. "Now is the good time, the time of spoil. "Mine are the cattle on the mountains, mine are the virgins in the kraals. "The winter is overpast with storms, the summer is come with flowers. "Now Evil shall cover up her face, now Mercy and Gladness shall dwell in the land.
'Under the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge, until these calamities be overpast." He went away; and Diana covered her face again. She could not bear the light. Her whole nature was in uproar.
