They are so ingenious that there is hardly a thing of which they cannot make a deft use. They have houses in New York and Philadelphia, and already do an immense deal of good among the destitute aged poor. The Order of Sion is a rather peculiar one, its principal object being the conversion to Christianity and subsequent education of young Jewesses.
We travelled in the cab by easy stages, and halted only at great houses on the road, beginning with Plas Newyd, and ending at Sion House. My master's rank, and my talents, were as good as board wages to us; and as the summer was not yet sufficiently advanced for the London winter, we found every body at home, and had an amazingly pleasant time. My master was enchanted with his acquisition.
"I shall comply most cheerfully with your request," replied M. ; "for though time is precious, I shall be thankful to spend a few minutes in these mountains, among those with whom I hope to dwell for ever on Mount Sion." M. mounted to the second story, followed by his companion.
And there made our Lord his pasque with his disciples. And there slept Saint John the evangelist upon the breast of our Lord Jesu Christ, and saw sleeping many heavenly privities. Mount Sion is within the city, and it is a little higher than the other side of the city; and the city is stronger on that side than on that other side.
But there is no more a Sion College that is gone. You cannot replace it. You might as well tear down King's College Chapel at Cambridge and call Dr. Parker's City Temple by that honoured and ancient name.
Is there any love in Paradise Lost?" "Perhaps we may find some if we go on." "Very well, then. Go on. And be quick about it." Arnold was so quick about it that he lost his place. Instead of going on he went back. He read once more: "In the beginning how the heavens and earth. Rose out of Chaos or if Sion hill " "You read that before," said Blanche. "I think not." "I'm sure you did.
When you said 'Sion hill' I recollect I thought of the Methodists directly. I couldn't have thought of the Methodists, if you hadn't said 'Sion hill. It stands to reason." "I'll try the next page," said Arnold. "I can't have read that before for I haven't turned over yet." Blanche threw herself back in her chair, and flung her handkerchief resignedly over her face. "The flies," she explained.
New as the apartment appeared to be, it was old enough to contain the brief little records of her maidenhood: the childish samplers and pictures; the sporting epoch with its fox-heads, opossum and wild-cat skins, riding-whip, and the goshawk in a cage, which Miss Sally believed could be trained as a falcon; the religious interval of illustrated texts, "Rock of Ages," cardboard crosses, and the certificate of her membership with "The Daughters of Sion" at the head of her little bed, down to the last decadence of frivolity shown in the be-ribboned guitar in the corner, and the dance cards, favors, and rosettes, military buttons, dried bouquets, and other love gages on the mantelpiece.
The Amharas were commanded to spare nothing that drew the breath of life: to fulfil a prophecy which foretold the fall of El Islam, they perpetrated every kind of enormity. Peace followed the death of Amda Sion.
Here, again, is a conversation which a treacherous penitent revealed to Cromwell; the persons in the dialogue being the informer, John Staunton, and the confessor of Sion Monastery, who had professed the most excessive loyalty to the crown. The informer, it must be allowed, was a good-for-nothing person.
