Nevertheless, the annual resurrection is drawing near. The life-giving sun pours his floods, the last snow-wreath melts, myriads of growing points push eagerly through the steaming mold, the birds come back, new wings fill the air, and fervid summer life comes surging on, seemingly yet more glorious than before.
On our way to La Genollière, we came across the man who had served as guide the day before, and a short conversation respecting the glacière ensued. He had only seen it once, many years before, and he held stoutly to the usual belief of the peasantry, that the ice is formed in summer, and melts in winter; a belief which everything I had then seen contradicted.
"But what has happened?" asked Andy. "I think the top part of an iceberg toppled down on us," was the reply. "You know about nine-tenths of a berg is under water. Sometimes there is a warm current of the ocean underneath the ice, and it melts. Then it becomes top-heavy and tilts over. One of that sort must have caught us, and has shoved us down into the sea."
"I was born here, and I passed my boyhood here," he said. "I could not keep from loving it if I would, and I would not if I could. Look how the cold North melts away. See the great magnolias, the live oaks, and the masses of shrubbery! Harry, I promise you that you shall have a good time in this Charleston of ours." They had left the railroad some distance back, and had come in by stage.
Within a week that love of public speech and useful service had kindled his mental faculties into a creative glow. The new and higher love of the heart consumed the lower love of the body, just as the sun melts manacles of ice from a man's wrist. History is full of these transformations wrought by the heart.
For the leaves had been unclosed, the gates unbarred under his neglect; and Leslie, with a noble woman's frankness, generosity, and meekness that true meekness which oftenest cleaves and melts the ringing metal of a high spirit Leslie had begun to love him, to fix her heart upon him, to grow to him stolid, sardonic statue that he was! until that shock exposed his flaws and wrenched her from her hold.
'The love of Christ constraineth us, because we thus judge, that if one died for all, then all died, and that He died for all, etc. That is to say, the death of Christ for all, which is equivalent to the death of Christ for each, is the great solvent by which the love of God melts men's hearts, and is the great proof that Jesus Christ loves me, and thee, and all of us.
Then a new, big voice said slowly and thickly, as though the owner had just waked up: "It's my conviction that I have made a fool of myself" The Steam knew what had happened at once; for when a ship finds herself all the talking of the separate pieces ceases and melts into one voice, which is the soul of the ship. "Who are you?" he said, with a laugh. "I am the Dimbula, of course.
For the captain who has got an army together, and perceives that from want of money or friends he cannot maintain it long, must be a mere madman if he do not at once, and before his army melts away, try the fortunes of battle; since he is certain to lose by delay, while by fighting he may chance to succeed.
The same fire melts wax and hardens clay. 'This Child is set for the rise and fall of many in Israel. 'To the one He is the savour of life unto life; to the other He is the savour of death unto death. Which is He, for He is one of them, to you? 'I determined not to know anything among you, save Jesus Christ, and Him crucified. 1 COR. ii. 2.
