Gladstone's position Lord John at the Foreign Office and Leader of the House Lady Russell's criticism of Lord Macaulay's statement A small cloud in the East Lord Shaftesbury has his doubts THERE is no need to linger over the history of the next few months, for in a political sense they were barren and unfruitful.
Our Maker also, in his kindness, has so constructed us, that even mere vicissitude is grateful and refreshing a consideration which should prompt us often to seek, from a prudent variation of useful pursuits, that recreation, for which we are apt to resort to what is altogether, unproductive and unfruitful. Yet rich and multiplied are the springs of innocent relaxation.
He was wont to ask that the Lord would be pleased to bless seed long since sown and yet apparently unfruitful; and he said that, in answer to these prayers, he had up to that day evidence of God's loving remembrance of his work of faith and labour of love in years long gone by.
You deserve to be happy, since, through it all, you still think of me, no less than I think of you, in my monotonous life, which, though it lacks color, is yet not empty, and, if uneventful, is not unfruitful. God bless you, then! Madame, It is the desire of my wife that you should not learn first from the formal announcement of an event which has filled us with joy.
Thus he was the first to introduce the law of tithing for the poor, as his father Abraham had been the first to separate the priests' portion from his fortune. Isaac was rewarded by abundant harvests; the land yielded a hundred times more than was expected, though the soil was barren and the year unfruitful.
In its very notion dogma confounds a statement of truth, which must of necessity be human, with the truth itself, which is divine. In its identification of statement and truth it demands credence instead of faith. Men have confounded doctrine and dogma; they have been taught so to do. They have felt the history of Christian doctrine to be an unfruitful and uninteresting theme.
M. le Duc d'Orleans and his enemies have been equally indefatigable; the latter in the blackest villainies, the Prince in the most unfruitful clemency, to call it by no more expressive name. Before the Regent was called to the head of public affairs, I recommended him to banish Pere Tellier when he had the power to do so.
We had, indeed, once the satisfaction of hearing that the fleet of Spain was confined in the port of Cadiz, unprovided with provisions, and it was rashly reported that means would either be found of destroying them in the harbour, or that they would be shut up in that unfruitful part of the country, till they should be obliged to disband their crews.
To form even what may be in some respects an erroneous conception of an imperfectly comprehended doctrine, and so to make it bear upon the life, is far better than timidly, for fear of difficulties or error, to lay the thought of it aside, and so leave it altogether unfruitful.
Let then the law be with thee to love it, and do it in the spirit of the gospel, that thou be not unfruitful in thy life.
