O'Niggins that it was his fervent hope that they two would not die without finding themselves in one communion, or something of the sort. He declared moreover, what was astonishing, that he put his sole trust in Christ, 'the source of all merit, as he expressed it a remarkable phrase." "In what language was the conversation carried on?" asked Reding.
Reding," said Bateman, "thought more of building churches than we do; or rather than we have done, I should say, for now it is astonishing what efforts are made to add to our ecclesiastical structures." "Our ancestors did a good deal too," said Mrs. Reding; "how many churches, my dear, were built in London in Queen Anne's time? St. Martin's was one of them." "Fifty," said Eliza.
Reding; so he stumbled after Charles into the drawing-room, and was soon conversing with her and the young ladies. "A charming prospect you have here, ma'am," said Bateman, "when you are once inside the house. It does not promise outside so extensive a view." "No, it is shut in with trees," said Mrs.
Reding," he continued, pulling his chair towards him, and putting out his hand as if he was going to paw him, "have not you made a mistake in thinking it necessary to go to the Romish Church for a relief of your religious difficulties?" "You have not yet heard from me, sir," answered Charles gravely, "that I have any difficulties at all.
Here a congregation had already assembled, or rather was in the middle of some service, to him unknown. It was rapid, alternate, and monotonous; and, as it seemed interminable, Reding turned his eyes elsewhere.
You can't go across country; if you attempt a steeple-chase, you will break your neck for your pains. Forms of religion are facts; they have each their history. They existed before you were born, and will survive you. You must choose, you cannot make." "I know," said Reding, "I can't make a religion, nor can I perhaps find one better than my own.
"Party action," said Charles, "is the exertion of influence instead of law." "But supposing, Reding, there is no law existing in the quarter where influence exerts itself?" asked Carlton. Charles had to explain: "Certainly," he said, "the State did not legislate for all possible contingencies."
"Find General Reding," said he to one of his officers, "and ask from him a suspension of arms." The battle was already ceasing of its own accord, on account of the extreme fatigue of the troops. The Spanish general gave the order to cease firing, but said, however, to the officer who had been sent, "The truce must be ratified by General Castanos."
While others might be steaming from London to Bombay or the Havannah, and months in the retrospect might look like years, with Reding and Sheffield the week had scarcely begun when it was found to be ending; and when October came, and they saw their Oxford friends again, at first they thought they had a good deal to say to them, but when they tried, they found it did but concern minute points of their own reading and personal matters; and they were reduced to silence with the wish to speak.
I wish too you would not so speak of 'making out a case. It is as if these things were mere topics for disputation. And I don't like your taking the wrong side; you are rather fond of doing so." "Reding," answered Sheffield, "I speak what I think, and ever will do so; I will be no party man. I don't attempt, like Vincent, to unite opposites. He is of all parties, I am of none.
