And of the Prince of Love who redeems and sets her free; and of her wedding garment the glory and beauty of all nature and of the heavens! The parables of Jesus are charming in their way, but they hardly reach this height of inspiration. Or the world-old myth of Eros and Psyche.
These are unmistakable signs of the French "Empire" influence, the chief difference between the French and English work being, that, whereas in French Empire furniture the excellence of the metal work redeems it from heaviness or ugliness, such merit was wanting in England, where we have never excelled in bronze work, the ornament being generally carved in wood, either gilt or coloured bronze-green.
'Hadn't you best leave well alone? said I; 'for I declare till this moment I hadn't dreamed that another such woman as yourself existed in the world, and it gives me a kind of bigamous feeling which I can't say I find altogether unpleasant. 'Then I'll keep the thing, says she, very positively, 'until the owner turns up and redeems it; which he never did, being, as I discovered, a strolling portrait painter very much down on his luck.
The one thing that redeems the horror is that it does make a man momentarily big enough to be in sympathy with his Creator he gets such glimpses of Him in his fellows. There was a time when I thought it was rather up to God to explain Himself to the creatures He had fashioned since then I've acquired the point of view of a soldier. I've learnt discipline and my own total unimportance.
The Christian's God is no impassive Being, indifferent to mankind, but 'One who in all our afflictions is afflicted, and, in His love and in His pity, redeems and bears and carries. With swift obedience to the impulse of His pity, Christ thrusts forth His hand and touches the leper.
All on which you have to decide is, whether the prisoner be or be not guilty of the robbery of which he is charged. You must not waste a thought on what redeems or heightens a supposed crime, you must only decide on the crime itself. Put away from your minds, I beseech you, all that interferes with the main case.
I have this deeply rooted objection to inherited wealth that it makes possible an escape from this redeeming discipline, and by removing one of the normal consequences of love often leads to the spoiling of love. Let us, however, be clear about this further fact love does not merely lead to enforced labor, it also redeems that labor.
In it we have the Saviour, the very incarnation of the truth that he taught, and that lifts the minds and thereby the lives of men up to their Divine ideal and pattern, that redeems their lives from the sordidness and selfishness and sin of the hitherto purely material self, and that being thereby saved, makes them fit subjects for the Father's Kingdom.
Something else of character may be learned from the manner in which Governor Cox redeems pledges. When he was sorely beset by his political foes in 1914, it was represented to him that the liquor interests might be made to do service if licenses were withheld until after the election.
Irving is an example of what can be done by the help of external advantages, Dr. Chalmers is a proof of what can be done without them. The one is most indebted to his mind, the other to his body. If Mr. Irving inclines one to suspect fashionable or popular religion of a little anthropomorphitism, Dr. Chalmers effectually redeems it from that scandal. We have not been able to pay Mr. Mr.
