But they who wear charms expect the help from the thing itself, which makes their conduct foolish and sinful, since God alone can protect from evil.

The cicerone took them rapidly along a gallery at whose end there was a stairway, and they issued into the sunlight. The monk extinguished the taper on his stick, and began crying: "Now, gentlemen, do you want any scapulars, medals, chocolate?" Caesar looked over his companions in the expedition. The Canon was indifferent.
It was partly unfastened, and as she opened it fully, the pent-up tears came blindingly for before her lay a few curling rings of soft brown hair, and a pair of scapulars, one of which was pierced by a tell-tale bullet hole. “Won’t you dismount?” she presently asked again, this time a little more kindly.
I look upon all religions as equally good and equally bad, but to be forced to live in a perpetual discussion in which teacups are broken, concerning scapulars, bacon and meal shops, and a school which, putting aside the question of expense, makes me hated in the neighbourhood, I regard as intolerable; and when I go home this evening, I shall tell Jane that the school must be put down or carried on in a less aggressive way.
Some of the men called her "nurse;" others, who wore scapulars around their necks, called her "Sister;" and the officers of the medical staff addressed her as Miss Bergen.

Well, what they call the Incarnation is really the point. Everything else flows from that. And, once a man believes that, I must confess that all the rest follows even down to scapulars and holy water." "Mr.
There would be something beyond mere practical wisdom in such law-giving, an exquisite sense of the pathos of human life and its requirements; scapulars, indulgences and sacraments are needed by the weak and the ageing, sacraments especially.
