This position it is, then, which shows the goodness of God in unclouded glory, and reconciles his sincerity with the final result of his labours. But we have not yet got rid of every shade of difficulty. For it may still be asked, why God uses means to save those who he foresees will be lost? why he should labour when he foresees his labour will be in vain?
There is a way of looking at our life daily as an escape, and taking the quiet return of morn and evening still more the star-like out-glowing of some pure fellow-feeling, some generous impulse breaking our inward darkness as a salvation that reconciles us to hardship. Those who have a self-knowledge prompting such self-accusation as Hamlet's, can understand this habitual feeling of rescue.
We drank some "victorious Burgundy," contrary to all prescription. December 15. Egad! I think I am rather better for my good cheer! I have passed one quiet night at least, and that is something gained. A glass of good wine is a gracious creature, and reconciles poor mortality to itself, and that is what few things can do.
I am not referring here to the physical connection between these two things lying in the realm of experience; my meaning is metaphysical. Accordingly, the sole thing that reconciles me to the Old Testament is the story of the Fall. In my eyes, it is the only metaphysical truth in that book, even though it appears in the form of an allegory.
"Now this faith consists in a firm belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God; that, having taken our sins and iniquities upon Himself, and having borne them on the Cross, He is Himself their sole and almighty atonement; that He stands continually before God; that He reconciles us with the Father, and that He hath given us the sacrament of His body to strengthen our faith in His unspeakable mercy.
The book seemed to me to betray the whimsical sans-culottism of a man of pleasure who, when the ball is at an end, sits down with his gloves on and philosophizes on the artificiality of civilization and the wholesomeness of honest toil. An indigestion makes him a temporary communist; but a bottle of seltzer presently reconciles him to his lot, and restores the equilibrium of the universe.
"We were returning home by a footpath, which led through a plantation of firs. Lucy had quitted Hazlewood's arm it is only the plea of absolute necessity which reconciles her to accept his assistance. I still leaned upon his other arm. Lucy followed us close, and the servant was two or three paces behind us.
I cannot believe it; it is inconceivable; it is impossible; I cannot endure it. 'It is, indeed, terrible, said Ferdinand. 'This consideration alone reconciles me to the necessity: I know my father well; his only answer to a communication of this kind would be an immediate summons to his side.
I have written my reply to Miss Verinder. The arrangement I have proposed reconciles the interests on both sides, if she will only consent to it. After first stating the objections that there are to a meeting between Mr.
But I can remember the blessing I received from an aged mother's lips as I left her the last time. She, speaking as the Spartan mother did, said 'Go, my boy, return either with your shield or upon it. This reconciles me this gives me heart. I submit to my doom; and I hope that God will forgive me my past sins.
