He could regret the acts of that man and he could seek to atone for them, but he felt no personal remorse. "He was not I," would have reasoned the mind of Berselius; "those acts were not my acts, because now I could not commit them," so he would have reasoned had he reasoned on the matter at all. But he did not.
"A firm belief in the mercy of God through His son, our Lord Jesus Christ, and a realization of the necessity of a Saviour to atone for our sins," said Aunt Faith reverently. "I believe in God, Aunt Faith. I believe in Him implicitly. I cannot understand how a reasonable being can deny His personal and omnipotent majesty.

Did you cook it?" asked Hester, anxious to atone for her impoliteness. "Yes. I cook 'im.
"It's impossible, John, impossible. We cannot pay back without explaining why." "We must atone for Dick's sake.

It must be let furnished, and the servants dismissed. We must go into some cheap place." "Yes, let us go home, John.
