Although trembling and almost blind with rage whilst I read this epistle, I remarked the address with which Diderot affected a milder and more polite language than he had done in his former ones, wherein he never went further than "My dear," without ever deigning to add the name of friend.
He almost entirely overlooked the real subject-matter of the epistle; so intent was he on the forthcoming courtship and marriage. 'I'll thank you to give it back, please, Dr Grantly. He took his hand and held it up, but made no immediate overture to return it. 'And Mr Harding has seen this? said he. 'Of course he has, said she; 'it was written that he might see it.
There are so many rich and blessed teachings in this epistle that we must needs make selection and leave many passages to be carefully and prayerfully pondered by the reader, with the assurance that there is very much gold to be found for the digging; but we would call attention in a special manner to John's description of perfect love.
It was a bright, newsy epistle, brimming over with kindly wishes for her happiness, and ending with a hope that the writer might see her soon. "Who is it from?" asked her uncle. The girl dutifully read it out for him. "He seems to be a right nice young man, and quite taken up with you, little Jess," he said, laughingly.

There is an epistle written to Idrieus, prince of Caria, that is ascribed to Agesilaus; it is this: "If Nicias be innocent, absolve him; if he be guilty, absolve him upon my account; however be sure to absolve him." This was his usual character in his deportment towards his friends.
Still more remarkable is the argument of St. Paul in Romans v.; altogether based as it is on the historical verity of the account of the Fall; and other allusions are to be found in 1 Cor. xi. 8, in 2 Cor. xi. 3, in the Epistle to the Ephesians, and elsewhere.
She had turned them all over at once, commencing at what had previously been the bottom of the pile, so that she ran through them all without finding the Mosher letter before she came to Murray's epistle. As its import dawned upon her, her eyes widened at first in surprise and then narrowed as she realized the value of her discovery.
We are really raising a much more difficult question if we ask, "Why does GOD allow cancer?" The writer of the Epistle to the Hebrews does not hesitate to say of Christ Himself that He "learned obedience by the things which He suffered."
