Presumptuous man, stand back. Oh, mighty and merciful Death! Death the liberator, the deliverer, the pardoner, the peace-maker! Even the shadow of thy face can quench the fires of revenge; even the gathering of thy wings can deaden the clamour of madness, and turn hatred into love and curses into prayers. In that stripped and naked house there was one room still untouched.
Characteristically fresh, finally, the clear-faced saints and seraphs, in robes of pink and azure, whom Fra Angelico has painted upon the ceiling of the great chapel, along with a noble sitting figure more expressive of movement than most of the creations of this pictorial peace-maker of Christ in judgment.
'Have you not thought, my child, that it may be your duty to remain here as mediator, as peace-maker? 'Father has promised me that he will never raise his hand to mother again. I made him understand that it was by gentleness and patience she must be won back. 'All the more reason that you should remain here to watch and encourage the good work you have begun.
He was trying to be a peace-maker, and to heal over conjugal differences; but he did not go deep enough. 'I'm not sorry, said she, slowly. 'I were too deeply wronged to be "put about"; that would go off wi' a night's sleep. I'm not sorry for what I said. Jeremiah had never met with any one so frank and undisguised in expressions of wrong feeling, and he scarcely knew what to say.
Nor must we forget that in this work of prayer we are companioned by the Holy Spirit, the Peace-maker, Who maketh intercession for us "with groanings which can not be uttered" and "Who leads us ever gently but surely into that closer communion with God whose result is life more abundant."
As to your plea, in that you are quite besides the matter of your indictment, you are not by it charged for evil-doing because you are a man of peace, or a peace-maker among your neighbours; but for that you did wickedly and satanically bring, keep, and hold the town of Mansoul, both under its apostasy from, and in its rebellion against its King, in a false, lying, and damnable peace, contrary to the law of Shaddai, and to the hazard of the destruction of the then miserable town of Mansoul.
He ripened into a tenderness such as prompted him, when burdened with cares beyond measure, to give a sympathetic hearing to every mother who came to the President with the story of her boy's trouble. To take another brace of qualities, he was at once a powerful fighter and an habitual peace-maker.
He himself being now the right man in the right place this many years, loving his parishioners, and beloved by them, and occupied from morn till night in good works, recovered the natural cheerfulness of his disposition. To tell the truth, a part of his jocoseness was a blind; he was the greatest peace-maker, except Mr. Harmony in the play, that ever was born.
He started on his mission of peace with the determined intention of returning with some document in his pocket which would appease Mr. Brown's irritated feelings, and add another laurel to the wreath which he considered his due as a peace-maker. He was shown into Mr. Webb's parlour, where that gentleman soon joined him, and he was not long in making known his business.
But here, as in so many other instances, Washington appeared as peace-maker, and prevailed upon Governor Chittenden to use his influence in getting the dangerous claims withdrawn. After the spring of 1784 the outlook was less stormy in the Green Mountains.
