"What do you mean?" asked the Zealot. "Are you sure he intends to start a rebellion?" asked Simon. "I don't know what else all this talk of a Kingdom could mean!" "If he were an ordinary political leader or even a Rabbi there would be no other way," said Simon, reflectively. "But there is something about him that makes me think he is not going to do what we expect at all!"
When it was safely in his keeping, the saint fell back on his pillow, muttering a sura from the Koran. "'Give your kindred what they require in time of need and also to the poor and the traveller, but waste not your substance wastefully." Michael opened his hand and looked at what the zealot had placed in it. He was thrilled with curiosity to see what the precious relic could be.
The zealot is ever ready to break his weapon upon the obstacle he wishes to remove, but the statesman who destroys national unity in his zeal for war does not help to win it; and American intervention was both useless and impossible until the President could act with his people behind him.
But the admiral, having given his consent to his daughter's marriage, in consequence of the earl's pledged word to 'his other girl, had become a zealot for this marriage and there was only not a grand altercation on the subject because Livia shunned annoyances.
The zealot regretted this obstinacy, as, according to his creed, she was a lost soul, but he liked her too well personally to quarrel with her on that account, consoling himself with the reflection that sooner or later, she would seek the fold.
John Wesley, reformer, philanthropist, zealot, and surpassingly great in all three characters, strangled within his own breast the simple desire to be gay.
Were the visitor to be further pressed by the zealot with the vision of eternal hell, I believe he would retort that there is no reason for God to punish those who doubt or deny faith in His existence, since it is His own doing; and if He desired each one of His children to worship Him according to the precepts of a certain creed, He surely would have instilled that creed into man's make-up together with the rest of his characteristics.
I constitute myself advocate of the world, and enthusiasm does not fail me in this high calling. It is but natural that in the face of scepticism which I cannot share I should feel greater faith, that in the face of revilement a sense of the glory of the thing belittled should settle upon me. I turn zealot and spend myself in long-drawn praising.
Being without faith, you are without a place to stand on; you are without hope; you live in darkness, and everything before you must be hollow, empty, joyless. You think, yet deny the existence of a soul! Folly has indeed been your god. Oh, Monsieur, it is frightful!" And the zealot rose and crossed himself, expecting a fiery outburst and instant dismissal. He could not repress a sigh.
It is not to any other class in the community that the zealot can address himself with an evangel of any kind. Only where a sense of bitterness exists, a sense of anger and rebellion, can the idealist in these dangerous times hope for attention. The Bishop of Manchester preached some few weeks ago a sermon to the unemployed of that city.
