Then, passing to temporal matters, he caused to be brought and read over, in his private conferences with the Pope, the deed of territorial gift made by his father Pépin to Stephen II, and with his own lips dictated the confirmation of it, adding thereto a new gift of certain territories which he was in course of wresting by conquest from the Lombards.
It's rather the pride of wresting another quarter-section from the prairie, taking our own by labour, breaking the wilderness. You" and he added this as though to explain that he could hardly expect her to quite grasp his views "have never been out West?" His hostess laughed.
Maddened by this last outrage, the father, who was the only man of the party left alive, rushed upon the Spaniards.

Religion is a sublime and glorious thing, the bonds of society on earth, and the connector of humanity with the Divine nature; but there is nothing so dangerous to man as the wresting of any of its principles, or forcing them beyond their due bounds: this is of all others the readiest way to destruction.

If some one does not help him by wresting from him the futile objects, and pointing out his heaven to him, he will hardly have the energy to save himself. These two extreme types will give an idea of the criteria by which we experimentally determine the quantity of the material necessary for development.
At the sight of the dreadful face of Soulis she comprehended all her danger, and with supernatural strength, wresting her hands from his hold, she burst through the bushes out of the cave. Her betrayers stood at the entrance, and catching her in their arms, brought her back to their lord. But it was an insensible form they now laid before him; overcome with horror her senses had fled.
The work of their fathers and of themselves in wresting the fields of the South from the clutch of forest; in crimsoning American soil with their blood in every war that has been fought; in yielding of all of the best of their heart and mind for this country's good is, according to Mr. Dixon, to count for naught.
