Now, I do not remember that Newman even once speaks about Teresa in any of his books, but I always think of him and her together in this great respect. GOD is to them both, and to them both He is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. And it is just here, at the very commencement and centre of divine things, that we all make such shipwreck and come so short.
It can't be Tom, because I know he's spent all his money, and auntie would never call herself an admirer of 'Hiawatha, nor Herr Haeberlein, nor Monsieur Noirol, nor any one I can think of." "Dealings with the fairies," said Raeburn, smiling. "Your beggar-child with the scones suddenly transformed into a beneficent rewarder." "Not from you, father?" Raeburn laughed.
They accordingly come to the further conclusion, that there is no free, voluntary Ruler of the universe, that there is no Almighty Judge and Rewarder, that there is neither reward nor punishment, properly speaking, either in this world or in the world to come. They become atheists. You can never prove by reason that a woman ought to love her own child better than the child of another woman.
Ah, was it easy here to believe and hold fast the great password of Christian faith, that "God IS, and is the REWARDER of them that diligently seek Him"? Tom rose, disconsolate, and stumbled into the cabin that had been allotted to him.
However, the great Rewarder called Camus to Himself before the Pope had sanctioned his appointment to the Bishopric of Arras. But ere we close this slight sketch of the life of the good Bishop, and speak of its last scenes, we must say a word about the gigantic literary labours which occupied him more or less from the time of his retirement to the Abbey of Annay, in 1628, till his death, in 1652.
Queen Elizabeth had several of his plays acted before her, and that princess was too quick a discerner, and rewarder of merit, to suffer that of Shakespear to be neglected. It is that maiden princess plainly whom he intends by A fair vestal, throned by the West. Midsummer night dream.
In these antique words the very loftiest and purest principles of spiritual religion are set forth. He that loves and trusts God possesses God. He that possesses God has enough for earth. He that possesses God has enough for heaven. It is possible for a man to have God for his. 'I am thy Reward, not merely Rewarder, but Reward.
Rejoice, therefore, with great joy, and make merry with the gladness that is in Christ, because thou hast exchanged the earthly and corruptible for the eternal and incorruptible; and because there draweth nigh the reward of thy works, and thy rewarder is already at hand, who shall come to see the vineyard which thou hast dressed, and shall richly pay thee the wages of thine husbandry.
Why, to her beloved, gracious master! the lord of her wishes! And thus the dear, once naughty assailer of her innocence, by a blessed turn of Providence, is become the kind, the generous protector and rewarder of it. God be evermore blessed and praised! and make me not wholly unworthy of such a transcendent honour!
The idea of personal relation to an eternal Rewarder was only vaguely held in historical times in Greece. The conception of personal immortality was a mere pious opinion, a doctrine whispered here and there in secret mystery; it was not an influential force on men's motives or actions.
