Then someone started up, "There's a wideness in God's mercy like the wideness of the sea," and the whole church rang. Some say that Dan told of his conversion and his faith in Jesus; some, that Job told it; some, the preacher.
Can we think of a man or woman who grips us firmly, at the thought of whom we kindle when we are alone in our honest daw's plumes, with none to admire or shrug his shoulders, can we think of one such, the secret of whose power does not lie in the charm of his or her personality that is to say, in the wideness of his or her sympathy with, and therefore life in and communion with other people?
I saw also the height of the house round about: the foundations of the side chambers were a full reed of six great cubits. The thickness of the wall, which was for the side chamber without, was five cubits: and that which was left was the place of the side chambers that were within. And between the chambers was the wideness of twenty cubits round about the house on every side.
Can a man who makes such reckless travesties of a view which he manifestly has never studied, be credited with intellectual honesty? Doubtless, the semi-scientific millions will be much impressed by the wideness of Mr.
If the gulf between herself and Tito which only gathered a more perceptible wideness from her attempts to bridge it by submission, brought a doubt whether, after all, the bond to which she had laboured to be true might not itself be false if she came away from her confessor, Fra Salvestro, or from some contact with the disciples of Savonarola amongst whom she worshipped, with a sickening sense that these people were miserably narrow, and with an almost impetuous reaction towards her old contempt for their superstition she found herself recovering a firm footing in her works of womanly sympathy.
Perhaps I have never seen life whole; I may need a throne and not a hill and a stump for that; but here in the wideness of the open skies, in the sweet quiet, in the hush that often fills these deep woods, I sometimes see life free, not free from men and things, but unencumbered, coming to meet me out of the morning and passing on with me toward the sunset until, at times, the stepping westward, the uneventful onwardness of life has
Ye're no' like the same lassie. Teen smiled rather incredulously, and did not go 'ben' to verify the compliment. 'It's a fine place this, she said, as she dropped into a chair. 'A body's never tired. I wonder onybody bides in the toon when there's sae much room in the country. The wideness of the landscape, its solitary freedom, and its quiet, impressed the city girl in no ordinary way.
The influence of such scenes, however, was not of a softening kind, but filled me rather with a sort of childish exultation in the self-sufficiency which enabled me to stand thus alone in the wideness of Asia—a short-lived pride, for wherever man wanders he still remains tethered by the chain that links him to his kind; and so when the night closed around me I began to return, to return, as it were, to my own gate.
The wideness, therefore, of this gate, is for this cause here made mention of, namely, to encourage them that would gladly enter thereat according to the mind of God, and not to flatter them that are not for leaving off all for God. Wherefore let such as would go in remember that here is room, even a gate to enter at, six cubits wide.
Wherefore, probably, he practised his iron inhibition and preached it to others, and preferred women of his own type, who could shake free of this bestial and regrettable ancestral line and by discipline and control emphasize the wideness of the gulf that separated them from what their dim forbears had been. Bill Totts had none of these considerations.
