The addresses were never delivered. Their tension and straining after effect is palpable. They are a cry of pain on the part of one who sees that assailed which is sacred to him, of triumph as he feels himself able to repel the assault, of brooding persuasiveness lest any should fail to be won for his truth. He concedes everything. It is part of his art to go further than his detractors.
Hall preach during some one of his three visits to the United States. What marrowy, soul-quickening sermons he poured forth in a clear, musical voice, and with a most earnest persuasiveness. Preaching was as easy to him as breathing. Including the Sabbath, he delivered seven or eight sermons in a week.
But here, in the person of Murray Edwardes, it was as though he saw something old and threadbare revivified. The young man's creed, as he presented it, had grace, persuasiveness even unction: and there was something in his tone of mind which was like a fresh wind blowing over the fevered places of the other's heart.
Tony Helmuth had finished his supper. "Let me go with them," he pleaded. "I know every inch of the way. I have been up and down the creek a hundred times." Pani rose. "I must go, too," she said, weakly, but she dropped back on the seat. "Thou wilt come home with me," began Wenonah, with gentle persuasiveness. "Thou hast not the strength."
If you add it deliberately as adornment of your speech, it will strike a false note; if you laboriously invent it the effort will show. Unless your thought and your eagerness for your subject flow naturally and inevitably into an image, it is better to stick to plain speech, for any suggestion of insincerity is fatal to the persuasiveness of an argument.
And when the prayer was done, he put his hand on the young man's shoulder, and said, with a yearning persuasiveness, "Tell it now, my brother! Jesus is here." Elvin raised his head, with a sudden fierce gesture toward Dilly. "She knows," he said. "She can see the past. She'll tell you what I've done." "I 'ain't got nothin' to tell, dear," answered Dilly, peacefully.
Then the whisperings that arose between those two would have pierced through denser substances by far than the little red door which separated me from the scene. "How'd I know, ma, but what you'd gone out and broke yer leg, or somethin'? Come, ma " with exasperated persuasiveness "what do ye want to pester me this way for?"
One of the most extraordinary traits in the ministry of Jesus Christ is his undesigned persuasiveness. He does not seem to expect a generally accepted influence. He recognizes that there are whole groups of souls whom he cannot reach. Only they who have ears to hear, he says, can hear him.
It smiled upon her; it made promises to her; it opened eternal views to her; and it grew upon her convictions in clearness of perception, in congruity, and in persuasiveness. Moreover, the more she thought of Chione, of Agellius, and of Cæcilius the more surely did she discern that this teaching wrought in them a something which she had not.
Johnson, and the modern method, which seeks to influence opinion by means of a short, pointed story, is certainly a gain in persuasiveness and pictorial vigor. It is hard to say what the dean of Saint Patrick's would have thought of The Battle of Dorking, or Ginx's Baby, or Lord Bantam, or Little Hodge, by the author of the last two of these.
