Godfearing and unspeculative, they have attached themselves to such creeds as appealed most powerfully to the heart with the least possible admixture of form. "The words Fear God" says Joubert, "have made many men pious: proofs of the existence of God have made many men atheists."
The cleft between the brows was gone, and his veiled inward gaze had given place to a glance almost as outward-looking and unspeculative as his mother's. "It shows well, yes what you say!" he rejoined with a slight laugh, and a tap on her shoulder as she passed. He was under no illusions as to his father-in-law's attitude: he knew that Mr.
She threw it, en plein, on Number Seventeen; and then with a start, realizing what she had done, she turned with burning cheeks. "I am so sorry." Her glance met a pair of unspeculative blue eyes, belonging to the owner of the tired voice. She noted that he had a sallow face, a little brown mustache, and a shock of brown hair, curiously upstanding, like Struwel Peter's.
Under such circumstances, there are many among its myriads of souls who have absolutely needed an emphatic belief, life in this unpleasurable shape demanding some solution even to unspeculative minds, just as you inquire into the stuffing of your couch when anything galls you there, whereas eider-down and perfect French springs excite no question.
"And there's one fortunate thing about Val: he is so truthful himself, one may take him in with his eyes open." Maude turned her eyes upon her mother: very languid and unspeculative eyes just then. "I gave him a hint, Maude, that you had been unable to bring yourself to like Hartledon, but had fixed your mind on a younger son. Later, we'll let him suspect who the younger son was."

"Leave it till to-morrow," said Dawes, at length. "No; let's have it over," urged the old man, with a strange eagerness. "I'm tired o' this."
Phillips Brooks, exercising a spiritual power of extraordinary purity and intensity, and so unspeculative that he felt no difficulty in the formulae of the Episcopal church, taught a religion in which Christ represents a sublimed and perfect humanity, a realized ideal, the inspiration and helper of men who are his brothers.
But they interpret their inspirations in forms that fit in with their mental habits. The fisherman Peter does not think with the mind of the theologically trained Paul, nor does the unspeculative James phrase his beliefs in terms identical with those of the writer to the Hebrews.
Above all, while unspeculative in religion, and content to employ its traditional forms, "they're imperfect enough," he said, "but they're the best we've got" the instincts of his great and disciplined nature sent him straight to the central realities of character, which are the true foundations of society.
"The man, Cromwell," writes the Scotchman Baillie, "is a very wise and active head, universally well beloved as religious and stout." But they were startled and alarmed by his dealings with these dissident recruits. He met the problem in his unspeculative fashion. He wanted good soldiers and good men; and, if they were these, the Independent, the Baptist, the Leveller found entry among his troops.
