The attraction to these very women was his unworldliness, his separateness, his devotion to an ideal which in their reason seemed a delusion. And no women would have been more sensitive than they to his fall from his spiritual pinnacle. It was easy with a little contrivance to avoid meeting him. She did not go to the chapel or in its neighborhood when he was likely to be going to or from service.

There was a quaint simplicity and sincerity about her, an unworldliness, that gave her words something of the authority of the other world. The abstraction that had been on Hemstead's face passed to Lottie's, and she heard with inattentive ear the young farmer say with hearty emphasis, "We present you, as an expression of our good-will, with two hundred and fifty dollars."

Everybody gazed, whispered and wondered, astonished at the youth and evident unworldliness of the "author of those marvellous books!" so the commentary ran; the women criticised her gown, which was one of pale blue silken stuff caught at the waist and shoulders by quaint clasps of dull gold a gown with nothing remarkable about it save its cut and fit melting itself, as it were, around her in harmonious folds of fine azure which suggested without emphasising the graceful lines of her form.

I belong to the middle class, and they are of the upper class. I have a faint desire to indicate that I don't want to cross the border-line, and that what I desire is the society of interesting and congenial people, not the society of my social superior. This is not unworldliness in the least, merely hedonism.

The one thing that the eye of the Christian sees and never can lose is that majestic, simple figure, great in its simplicity, in its innocence, in its purity and in its unworldliness, that walked once on this earth and that walks forever through the lives of men, showing Himself to human kind, manifest in human kind.

Innocent demanded, simply "There is no harm! and I should not mind telling her we are lovers." "I should, though!" was his quick thought, while he marvelled at her unworldliness. "Besides" she continued "she has no right over me." "Who HAS any right over you?" he asked, curiously. She laughed, softly. "No one! except you!" "Oh, hang me!" he exclaimed, impatiently "Leave me out of the question.

Harry's affection for both of the colonels was strong and as he looked at them he realized more than ever their utter unworldliness. He, although a youth, saw that they belonged to a passing era, but in their very unworldliness lay their attraction. He knew that whatever the fortunes of the war, they would, if they lived, prove good citizens after its close.

His easy manners and the occasional streak of correct French in his dialogue cast a shadow on it. Yet he might be an ingenuous creature precisely because of the suspicion roused by his quaint unworldliness that he might be a terrible actor. Why not? his heart was evidently much more interested in her pursuits than in her niece's.

He appealed to the motherhood in her by his unworldliness, by his ignorance of base motives, thus making her attitude towards him protective; she instinctively trying to stand between him and a naughty world, to stand, too, between him and her own too often naughty self.

It preaches morality and charity and was the first religion to proclaim to the worldnot to a caste or countrythat these are the foundation of that Law which if kept brings happiness. It civilized many nations, for instance the Tibetans and Mongols. It has practised toleration and true unworldliness, if not without any exception , at least far more generally than any other great religion.
