Ye people, behold a martyr whose blood, as so many articulate words, pleads for for fidelity, for law, for liberty!

Ahimaaz still pleads to go, and, gaining leave, takes the road across the Jordan valley, which was probably easier, though longer; while the other messenger went by the hills, which was a shorter and rougher road. II. The scene shifts to Mahanaim, where David had found refuge.

Also, though duty be strong, it is not strong enough to force a woman to a marriage for which she has no liking. Yet it may prove strong enough to keep a woman from a marriage for which her heart pleads perhaps, also, it should have been strong enough to hold me back from the telling of my love.

In France every conviction that is not based upon the prisoner's confession is a miscarriage of justice; but when the prisoner pleads guilty there can be no incriminations of this sort, although there might be, for false confessions are not unknown, but nothing of the sort is ever put forward, and the case seemed to be quite straightforward.

"So I suppose the Divine love pleads for the weak and sinful," said Mrs. Fleet, dreamily. "That is a very pleasant thought, mother, for sometimes it seems that my love could make black white." "That the Divine love has done, but at infinite cost to itself." "Oh that my love at any cost to itself could lead her into the new life of the believer!" said Dennis, in a low, earnest tone.

At that moment, God issues the command, "Enter this sperm." The soul opens her mouth, and pleads: "O Lord of the world! I am well pleased with the world in which I have been living since the day on which Thou didst call me into being. Why dost Thou now desire to have me enter this impure sperm, I who am holy and pure, and a part of Thy glory?"

The dull Nibelung pleads still after that, and his words contain thorns which he might reasonably expect to tell: "The thing which I, anguish-harried and curse-crowned, earned through a horrible renunciation, you are to have for your own as a pleasant princely toy?... If I sinned, I sinned solely against myself, but against all that has been, is, or shall be, do you, Immortal, sin, if you wrest this ring from me...."

Shaw's comments throws a strong light on the spirit of British society. It is true that he intimates that he ran the risk of "prompt lynching" at one time, but that was probably the suggestion of a certain timidity and vanity to which he pleads guilty.

Prayers reach out to an infinity that is shrouded always, but the lover's lips are sweet and the caress is close and the arms are warm and human. What wonder if the brain forgets when the heart thirsts and pleads? What wonder if the reason waver and faint when the winged god nestles close in the breast?

Work of his hand He nor commends nor grieves Pleads for itself the fact; As unrepenting Nature leaves Her every act. I HAVE read that those who listened to Lord Chatham felt that there was something finer in the man than any thing which he said.
