This looks to me like trying a man twice for the same offense, and twice condemning him; and I can find nothing to warrant it in the wording of the parole law. If every actual or alleged mis-step of a man's whole life can be quoted against him as ground for refusing parole, it would seem tantamount to stultifying the law for parole.
"Then I wish it hadn't been made so explicit. Its very definiteness is somehow stultifying. And, Mr. Hodder, if we were not meant to know its details, it seems to me that if the hereafter is to have any real value and influence over our lives here, we should know something of its conditions, because it must be in some sense a continuation of this. I'm not sure that I make myself clear."
This confession of helplessness shows that there is something seriously wrong with the conventional presentation of the doctrine. But I do not think the Atonement is such a very great mystery after all, and it ought to be possible to get at the heart of it without stultifying the intellect. Anyhow, let us try.
He grew big enough to pity these fanatics. The fiery, racing tide of blood that had made of him only an animal had cooled with thought of others. Still he feared that stultifying thing which must have been hate. What a tempest had raged within him!
Well, Ash, whose father like himself was born here, calls England 'Home, I find. This is one of the most lovable habits of the children of our race all over the world. But obviously it would be a foolish and stultifying thing for me to think of leaving my hermitage.
But a part of what Foxe wrote about Tewkesbury in one edition of the Acts and Monuments he omitted in another, patching it on to Bainham's story, thus stultifying himself as regards both stories,* and affording us another signal illustration of the irresponsible and unscrupulous way in which he could deal with evidence.
That final injunction of Besant's "never to go beyond your own experience" seems somewhat stultifying to the imagination; and there is a great deal of very wise suggestion in Mr. Greater miracles have been seen than that, imagination assisting, she should speak the truth about some of these gentlemen."
The spite of a present entire opposition to Woodseer's professed views made him exult in the thought, that the mouther of sentences was likely to be at work stultifying them and himself in the halls there below during the day.
You saw what happened this afternoon the man would have driven me out if, it hadn't been for you. This whole conception of charity is a crime against civilization I had to have that pointed out to me, too, this system of legalized or semi-legalized robbery and the distribution of largesse to the victims. The Church is doing wrong, is stultifying herself in encouraging it.
In so far as the dramatist divorces his dialogue from spiritual action that is to say, from progress of events, or toward events which are significant of character he is stultifying the thing done; he may make pleasing disquisitions, he is not making drama.
