This cavern of oblivion that was awaiting him, that he must enter it was black and now more than ever his deep, simple irreligion refused to let fairy tales pacify him with the belief that beyond it was everlasting daylight. Scepticism was not only in his conscious thought but in the very tissues of his mind.
The Mission Room was packed, and the rustle of starched skirts, and the cleanly laundry atmosphere that pervaded the place was wonderfully wholesome. The gathering suggested nothing so much as simple human nature dipped well in the purifying soap-suds of sympathy, rubbed out on the washing board of religious emotion, and ironed and goffered to a proper sheen of wholesome curiosity.
Milly had been full of life and vivacity all day, flitting from room to room with a kind of joyous restlessness.

Jacopo then recounted in simple and undisguised terms, the entire means employed by Don Camillo in effecting his escape his hopes, his disappointments, and his final success. In this narrative nothing was concealed but the place in which the ladies had temporarily taken refuge, and the name of Gelsomina.
That is the idea of theological Christianity, as distinguished from the Christianity of simple faith. The Triune Persons omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent exist for all time, superior to and independent of matter. They are supremely disembodied.
It is simple enough to point out that the first adventurers in Jamestown showed very little of the missionary's spirit, that they included only one minister, and that he had enough to do in ministering to the English settlers.
In his heart he knew perfectly well that he could never be happy for any length of time out of sight and hearing of Broadway cars; but at that moment, such was the magic of the dawn, he felt a longing to settle down in the country and pass the rest of his days a simple farmer with beard unchecked by razor.
