"In the second place, she is a widow with a temper, and a good deal of it." "Dinna name it!" cried the Laird, lifting up his hands. "Dinna name it! Eh, puir laddie, but I'm wae for him, gin he's fashed wi' ane o' that sort." "And in the third place," continued Angus, "I have been told that he may well preach against worldly-mindedness, for he gets enough of it at home.
If they were not set apart and marked from all others of the earth, in order that one mightier than man should spring from their loins, they were led into that distant wilderness, far from the temptations of licentious luxury, or the worldly-mindedness of those who built their structure of faith on the sands of temporal honors, to preserve the word in purity.
"If other sins have slain their thousands of professing Christians, worldly-mindedness has slain its ten thousands." "How can any say, `Lead us not into temptation, in the morning, when they are resolved to run into it at night?" "How many are kept from seeing Christ in glory, by reason of the press!" "Christ will thank you for coming to His feast."
"You are anxious about Carmen's worldly-mindedness; but ought you not to be indulgent, dear Sister, and remember that the child's early associations are still holding sway in her heart, and make great excuse for her?
Henderson, with an abundance of good-nature, was simply a man of his time, troubled with no scruples that stood in the way of his success. Margaret, with a finer nature than either of them, stifling her scruples in an atmosphere of worldly-mindedness, was likely to go further than either of them.

'Ay, the wretch, with the curse of Judas on him.
It would be well, indeed, for persons of this character to ponder the words of the Pastoral Letter of the Second Council of Baltimore: "We fear that the fault lies in great part with many parents, who instead of fostering the desire so natural to the youthful heart, of dedicating itself to the service of God's sanctuary, but too often impart to their children their own worldly-mindedness, and seek to influence their choice of a state of life by unduly exaggerating the difficulties and dangers of the priestly calling, and painting in too glowing colors the advantages of a secular life."
And then, still further, Christ points out here, not only what is the real root of this solicitous care something very like worldly-mindedness, heathen worldly-mindedness; but He points out what is the one counterpoise of it 'seek first the kingdom of God. It is of no use only to tell men that they ought to trust, that the birds of the air might teach them to trust, that the flowers of the field might preach resignation and confidence to them.
Of such materials are those descendants of the Puritans composed; a mixture of good and evil; of the religion which clings to the past, in recollection rather than in feeling, mingled with a worldly-mindedness that amounts nearly to rapacity; all cloaked and rendered decent by a conventional respect for duties, and respectable and useful, by frugality, enterprise, and untiring activity.
