It may be doubted whether he had much faculty of worshipping anything in the truest meaning of that word. One worships that which one feels, through the inner and unexpressed conviction of the mind, to be greater, better, higher than oneself; but it was not probable that Lucius Mason should so think of any woman that he might meet.
But don't communicate any suspicions you may happen to have to Anderton. He has set up that precious duty of his as a fetish, worships it, as you heard. Think of Dandy Anderton of the old days on his knees at the shrine of duty!" He gave a little laugh, and then continued, "But I don't want to be offered on his altar, and I won't be. You can bank on that!"
The protestant Christian who without scruple worships a man, and firmly believes the inconceivable mystery of the trinity, ridicules the catholic Christian for believing in the mystery of transubstantiation; he considers him mad, impious, and idolatrous, because he kneels to worship some bread, in which he thinks he sees God.
Charlie praises up her bread, and she takes lots of pains with it. And she just fusses with her flowers and lets him run the ranch; and, mommie, she just worships Charlie! The way she sits and looks at him when he's talking you can see she almost says prayers to him.
The god of a people is, and must of necessity ever be a reflection of themselves, an idealization of their own virtues and vices a magic mirror in which, Narcissuslike, man worships his own image. The Jews are one of the grandest people that ever dwelt upon the earth.
In these tranquil pursuits he is perhaps happier than all around even those whose hearts throb with that supreme passion, full of sweetness, but too often bringing bitterness. So ever near the shrine of his adoration, having it all to himself, Hamersley worships on, but in silence. At length the day, the hour, is at hand when the young Kentuckian purposes taking departure.
Fred says that he worships the very ground I tread on slightly hyperbolical and very original, you perceive," with a satirical curve of her pretty lips "but he never seems half satisfied with me. He ought to know by this time that I must be just my own little self, and not a second-hand imitation of somebody else."
A grace I have no grace to win Knocks now at my half-open door: Ah, Lord of glory, come thou in, Thy grace divine is all and more. This was what I made for myself. I told my people that God had created all our worships, reverences, tendernesses, loves. That they had come out of His heart, and He had made them in us because they were in Him first.
By this time it is ten o'clock, when she goes with some other women to bathe in the river, or if there be no river near, in a great tank of rain-water. While there, she often makes a clay image of her god, and worships it with prayers, and bowings, and offerings of fruit and flowers, for nearly an hour.
He is an admirable person, but it is melancholy to see him spending his life in that lonely manner. 'It is, indeed. I often wish anything would cheer him! 'All the family are devoted to him, if that would comfort him. It is the only point where Lady Martindale is not led by her aunt, that she almost worships him! 'I thought Mrs. Nesbit was fond of him.
