But it is not so with woman; in the very nature of things it cannot be. Methinks these Nunneries would serve a better purpose were they schools from which to send women forth into the world to be good wives and mothers, rather than store-houses filled with sad samples of Nature's great purposes deliberately unfulfilled." The merry schoolboy look had vanished.
They are distinct, and definite, and solemn, and untrue. I could fill many pages with unfulfilled prophecies from the Old and New Testaments. I think the one I give is enough. Jesus Christ distinctly says that He will come in glory with all His angels before "this generation" all have passed away. This is the year 1903. Christ uttered His prophecy about the year 31.
Thereupon she swore to take no rest on a night when the moon was full until she had gone to bed with her bridegroom. And as her first bridegroom never and nevermore came back, so she waited for another, but there was no one who knew her story who would woo her, because each one thought it would fare with him as it had fared with that other. Thus she died; her oath is however still unfulfilled.
Now, for the first time, he saw that the editor looked upon himself as a man of small achievements, and that, inasmuch as his idea had been vastly more than his execution, he felt himself to belong to the unfulfilled ones of the earth. When, a little later, he reached Mrs.

We need not wonder at unfulfilled hopes being here ascribed to God. The startling thought only puts into language the great mystery which besets all His pleadings with men, which are carried on, though they often fail, and which must, therefore, in view of His foreknowledge, be regarded as carried on with the knowledge that they will fail. That is the long-suffering patience of God.
His conscience was not quite easy in this desire for delay, any more than it was quite easy in his not attempting to learn the truth about his own mother: in both cases he felt that there might be an unfulfilled duty to a parent, but in both cases there was an overpowering repugnance to the possible truth, which threw a turning weight into the scale of argument.
'I may remark at present, he says, 'that although I was totally mistaken in my prediction, yet, on a revision, I think I was right in it. It was right, he means, upon the data then known to him, and he leaves the unfulfilled prediction as it was.
So fondly did Urania deem! So proudly did she prophesy! Oh, ruin of a noble dream She thought too glorious to die!
