Page 221 - Be patient therefore, brethren, unto the coming of the Lord. Behold the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth, and hath long patience for it, until he receive the early and latter rain. Be ye also patient; stablish your hearts : for the Coming of the Lord draweth nigh.
Page 260 - And as touching the dead that they rise ; have ye not read in the book of Moses, how in the bush, God spake unto him, saying, I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living : ye therefore do greatly err.
Page 35 - MY boy, thou wilt dream the world is fair, And thy spirit will sigh to roam ; And thou must go ; but never, when there, Forget the light of home. Though pleasure may smile with a ray more bright, It dazzles to lead astray : Like the meteor's flash, 'twill deepen the night, When thou treadest the lonely way. But the hearth of home has a constant flame, And pure as vestal fire...
Page 148 - is good, but not the best. The irrefragable Doctor, with his chains of inductions, his corollaries, dilemmas, and other cunning logical diagrams and apparatus, will cast you a beautiful horoscope, and speak you reasonable things ; nevertheless, the stolen jewel, which you wanted him to find you, is not forthcoming. Often by some winged word — winged as the thunderbolt is — of a Luther, a Napoleon, a Goethe, shall we see the difficulty split asunder, and its secret laid bare ; while the Irrefragable,...
Page 288 - Life is a sea, — how fair its face, How smooth its dimpling waters pace, Its canopy how pure! But rocks below, and tempests sleep, Insidious, o'er the glassy deep, Nor leave an hour secure.
Page 34 - Deep in the shaded stream the cattle stand, The flocks beside the fence, with heads all prone And panting quick. The fields, for harvest ripe, No breezes bend in smooth and graceful waves, While with their motion, dim and bright by turns, The sun-shine seems to move; nor e'en a breath Brushes along the surface with a shade, Fleeting and thin, like that of flying smoke. The slender stalks, their heavy bended heads Support as motionless, as oaks their tops.
Page 291 - Woman is sheltered by fond arms and guided by loving counsel, old age is protected by its experience, and manhood by its strength ; but the young man stands amid the temptations of the world like a self-balanced tower. Happy, he who seeks and gains the prop and shelter of Christianity.
Page 311 - ... to help him earn a livelihood by doing her own work, must have a hired servant to help her spend his limited earnings. Ten years afterward you will find him struggling on under a double load of debts and children, wondering why the luck was always against him, while his friends regret his unhappy destitution of financial ability. Had they from the first been frank and honest, he need not have been so unlucky. Through every grade of society this vice of inordinate expenditure insinuates itself....
Page 35 - ... to move ; nor e'en a breath Brushes along the surface with a shade Fleeting and thin, like that of flying smoke. The slender stalks their heavy bended heads Support as motionless as oaks their tops. O'er all the woods the topmost leaves are still ; E'en the wild poplar leaves, that, pendent hung By stems elastic, quiver at a breath, Rest in the general calm.
Page 36 - And thy hopes may vanish like foam ; But when sails are shivered and rudder lost, Then look to the light of home ; — And there, like a star through the midnight cloud, Thou »h alt see the beacon bright ; For never, till shining on thy shroud, Can be quenched its holy light.
