Going toward where he heard the shot he followed on till he saw him at the rock, almost doubled up, with his face concealed by his hat. "O! Tom!" said he, but there came no answering motion, and going nearer he called again and still no answer and no sign. Poor Tom had surely passed on to the better land, thought he, and salvation was so near. He approached and lifted the hat rim.
Tom would shake his head exasperatingly. "Why don't you get after Ralph?" I demanded. "He doesn't antagonize Tallant, either." "Ralph's hopeless," said Tom. "He was born a pirate, you weren't, Hughie. We think there's a chance for his salvation, don't we, Perry?" I refused to accept the remark as flattering.
Some believers in the supernatural character of Christianity hold that salvation will come when all men are brought to believe in Christ, whose second coming is at hand. Other believers in supernatural Christianity hold that salvation will come through the Church, which will draw all men into its fold, train them in the Christian virtues, and transform their life.
There would have been no such occasion for such "an advocate with the Father" as "Jesus Christ the Righteous"; neither for His appearing "at the right hand of God, to make intercession for us." What is the necessary consequence of this? It is this: there could then have been no such thing as faith in God, thus loving the world, giving His only Son for us men, and for our salvation.
You're built for great things, my dear how great I can't see and I can't even understand. No, Peter, I can't even understand that's part of the tragedy of it. Peter, I love you so that my love for you is my centre, it's my all in all, it's my hope of salvation, Peter. Do you hear, my darling? my love, it's my one hope! If I can't keep that pure and clean, Peter, I ruin both of us.
'My soul looks back to see The burden Thou didst bear, When hanging on the accursed tree, And knows her guilt was there. 'He also is my strength and my song. He is become my salvation; therefore, in joy shall ye draw water out of the wells of salvation. Now, I have left myself no time to do more than say one word about that last point, the gladness of the water-drawers.
Mary Grace, on account of her infirm health, slept alone in one room; in another, of vast size, stood a family fourposter, where Ann slept with Drusilla Elliott, and another bed in the same room took Bess. The sisters and their friend had been constantly praying that Bess might 'find peace', for she was still a stranger to salvation.
Surely that which it itself declares in the very first verse: 'I will love thee, O Lord, my strength; the Lord is my stony rock, and my defence: my Saviour, my God, and my might, in whom I will trust, my buckler, the horn also of my salvation, and my refuge. What is it which gives life and reality to the magnificent imagery of the seventh and following verses?
The dramatic idea he took from Heine's sentimental version. In this the Dutchman's lot is softened and mitigated by a possibility of salvation. He can go ashore once in seven years, and if he can find a maiden who will love him and be faithful unto death he will be released from the necessity to wander. That is to say, his chances of redemption depend upon constancy of some unknown young lady.
"Surely he hasn't been robbing the Salvation Army Christmas boxes! And the idea of sending me money all in pennies!" The more she thought about it the more indignant did Mrs. Cantwell become. Finally, a little after noon, Mrs. Cantwell decided to take the stuff to the bank, have it counted and turned over into greenbacks. So she trudged up to the bank with it.
