Up to this point natural delight in the sights and sounds of a summer's day has had its way, and undoubtedly struck her as far too much enjoyment for any sinful worm of the dust. She proceeds, therefore, to chasten her too exuberant muse, presenting for that sorely-tried damsel's inspection, the portrait of man, as Calvin had taught her to view him.
Add one more to your many kindnesses don't command me to speak, when it is my duty toward a sorely-tried man to be silent, even to you.

I rejoice to learn of the preliminary steps that are being taken to enable the dearly beloved and highly promising German Bahá’í Community to own its first National Hazíratu’l-Quds in the heart of that sorely-tried country. The utmost effort should be exerted to complete the present negotiations, and to initiate the national activities in that centre.
The organization of spiritual assemblies, the reestablishment of the national assembly, the formation of national committees are the immediate objectives, and should, if possible be carried out with the utmost speed and vigour, for upon them will rest the expansion and consolidation of the activities of a sorely-tried Faith.

It cannot be called a comfort to us that it enables my brother Albert to come forward in the most disinterested I might venture to say, generous manner, and prove the chivalry of his soul; still, as things are, we are glad, after such misunderstandings, to prove to that sorely-tried family who are their friends.

Of the three only the corporal knew much about the internal mechanism of a German machine-gun, and in the ruddy, flickering light his task was greatly complicated. Again the weapon was hoisted on the Haussa's broad shoulders.
Now you see what a time I have with her; she makes me sweat, I can tell you," said Old Hurricane, in triumph. "Oh! oh! oh!" groaned the sorely-tried minister. "What's it now?" inquired Old Hurricane. The pastor took the major's arm and, while they walked up and down before the house, told how he had been "sold" by Capitola, ending by saying: "You will have to take her firmly in hand."
