I have told you how books of imagination had supplanted the Bible in my esteem; those books now, in a measure, yielded to the irresistible attraction of outdoor amusement; but my mind was so abundantly stored with the glittering tinsel of unsanctified genius, as it shone forth in the pages of my beloved poets, that no room was left for a craving after better studies.
Seeing the blind persistency with which some straying zoöphyte has refused to follow other counsel than its own, I have learned that self-reliance and strength of will are not, in higher natures, virtues for gratulation, but, if unsanctified, faults to blush for.
6 To the unregenerate, unsanctified soul, the language of the Saviour in John 6:48-58, must appear, as it did to the Jews, perfectly inexplicable He that eateth My flesh, and drinketh my blood, dwelleth in me, and I in him. Blessed mystery! to be one with Christ, in obedience to His will, and in partaking of His inheritance.
Of course the meaning of it is that our work should be just as religious as our worship, and unless we can work for the glory of God three-fourths of life remains unsanctified. The proof that work is religious is that most of Christ's life was spent in work.
"I'd hate to have you think you been wasting your time on me this summer, but I'm afraid I'm just too downright unsanctified." "Oh, don't say that!" she cried. "But I have to. I reckon I'm like the red-roan sorrel Ed Harris got for a pinto from old man Beasley. 'They's two bad things about him, says the old man. 'I'll tell you one now and the other after we swap. 'All right, says Ed.
For several months after that hasty and somewhat inauspicious marriage "unsanctified," Mrs. Churton would have said it seemed as if the course of events had effectually parted the two girls, and that their close friendship was destined to be less a reality than a memory, so seldom were they able to meet.
The two figures stand on the summit of a mountain, and the calm, still air around them gives a wonderful sense of height and solitude. You almost feel the frost of the high, rare atmosphere. Satan is a very powerful figure, not the vulgar devil, but the determined will, the unsanctified power.
He had taught himself to believe that it would be an unnecessary humiliation for him to say this to a man who had so deeply wronged him! But, to do our doctor justice, time had healed the wound with him; it was not personal enmity which prompted his warning, neither had he any idea of the injury which those sharp words of his were doing in the unsanctified heart.
Whether they did this because Zoar means little, or because it was fancied that they had "escaped," like Lot of old, from a very unsanctified place, we cannot tell. The chapel was opened in 1853, at a cost of 500 pounds, one-fifth of which, apart from previous subscriptions, was raised during the inaugural services. As to the outward appearance of this chapel, not so much can be said.
The cathedral is surrounded by a high wall, the gates of which, its eyelids, are closed every night at a seasonable hour, at which the virtuous inhabitants are expected to be in their safe and sacred quarters. Houses within this hallowed precinct naturally bring a higher rent than those of the unsanctified and unprotected region outside of its walls.
