There is even a white row of beehives in the orchard under the walnut trees.
|
Frank read English slowly, and the more he read about this divorce case, the angrier he grew.
|
A brisk wind had come up and was driving puffy white clouds across the sky.
|
"Just smell the wild roses. They are always so spicy after a rain."
|
And Emil mowed his way slowly down toward the cherry trees.
|
"Oh, ever so much! Only he seems kind of staid and school teachery."
|
"When she used to tell me about him, I always wondered whether she wasn't a little in love with him."
|
"I like to talk to Carl about New York and what a fellow can do there."
|
"I'm sure Alexandra hopes you will stay on here," she murmured.
|
"I get tired of seeing men and horses going up and down, up and down."
|
"I wish you weren't so restless and didn't get so worked up over things," she said sadly.
|
"I can't play with you like a little boy any more," he said slowly. "That's what you miss, Marie."
|
"But Emil, if I understand, then all our good times are over. We can never do nice things together any more."
|
"That won't last. It will go away, and things will be just as they used to."
|
"I pray for you, but that's not the same as if you prayed yourself."
|
"I can't pray to have the things I want," he said slowly, "and I won't pray not to have them, not if I'm damned for it."
|
Saturday, august fifteenth. The sea unbroken all round. No land in sight.
|
All my danger and sufferings were needed to strike a spark of human feeling out of him but now that I am well his nature has resumed its sway.
|
You seem anxious, my uncle, I said, seeing him continually with his glass to his eye. Anxious
|
I am not complaining that the rate is slow, but that the sea is so wide.
|
We are losing time, and the fact is, I have not come all this way to take a little sail upon a pond on a raft.
|
He called this sea a pond, and our long voyage, taking a little sail
|
I take this as my answer, and I leave the Professor to bite his lips with impatience.
|
Nothing new. Weather unchanged. The wind freshens.
|
The shadow of the raft was clearly outlined upon the surface of the waves.
|
It must be as wide as the Mediterranean or the Atlantic and why not?
|
These thoughts agitated me all day, and my imagination scarcely calmed down after several hours' sleep.
|
I saw at the Hamburg museum the skeleton of one of these creatures thirty feet in length.
|
The raft was heaved up on a watery mountain and pitched down again, at a distance of twenty fathoms.
|
Flight was out of the question now. The reptiles rose they wheeled around our little raft with a rapidity greater than that of express trains.
|
Two monsters only were creating all this commotion and before my eyes are two reptiles of the primitive world.
|
I can distinguish the eye of the ichthyosaurus glowing like a red hot coal, and as large as a man's head.
|
Its jaw is enormous, and according to naturalists it is armed with no less than one hundred and eighty two teeth.
|
Those huge creatures attacked each other with the greatest animosity.
|
Suddenly the ichthyosaurus and the plesiosaurus disappear below, leaving a whirlpool eddying in the water.
|
As for the ichthyosaurus has he returned to his submarine cavern?
|
The weather if we may use that term will change before long.
|
The atmosphere is charged with vapours, pervaded with the electricity generated by the evaporation of saline waters.
|
The electric light can scarcely penetrate through the dense curtain which has dropped over the theatre on which the battle of the elements is about to be waged.
|
The air is heavy the sea is calm.
|
The atmosphere is evidently charged and surcharged with electricity.
|
There's a heavy storm coming on, I cried, pointing towards the horizon.
|
On the mast already, I see the light play of a lambent Saint Elmo's fire. The outstretched sail catches not a breath of wind and hangs like a sheet of lead.
|
But if we have now ceased to advance why do we yet leave that sail loose, which at the first shock of the tempest may capsize us in a moment?
|
I refer to the thermometer it indicates., the figure is obliterated,.
|
Is the atmospheric condition, having once reached this density, to become final?
|
A suffocating smell of nitrogen fills the air, it enters the throat, it fills the lungs.
|
How cheerfully he seems to grin, How neatly spread his claws, And welcome little fishes in With gently smiling jaws
|
No, I've made up my mind about it if I'm Mabel, I'll stay down here
|
It'll be no use their putting their heads down and saying 'Come up again, dear
|
I wish I hadn't cried so much said Alice, as she swam about, trying to find her way out.
|
I shall be punished for it now, I suppose, by being drowned in my own tears
|
cried Alice again, for this time the Mouse was bristling all over, and she felt certain it must be really offended.
|
We won't talk about her any more if you'd rather not. We indeed
|
We want you to help us publish some leading work of Luther's for the general American market. Will you do it?
|
Let us begin with that his Commentary on Galatians..
|
The undertaking, which seemed so attractive when viewed as a literary task, proved a most difficult one, and at times became oppressive.
|
A word should now be said about the origin of Luther's Commentary on Galatians.
|
In other words, these three men took down the lectures which Luther addressed to his students in the course of Galatians, and Roerer prepared the manuscript for the printer.
|
It presents like no other of Luther's writings the central thought of Christianity, the justification of the sinner for the sake of Christ's merits alone.
|
The Lord who has given us power to teach and to hear, let Him also give us the power to serve and to do. LUKE two
|
Do you suppose that God for the sake of a few Lutheran heretics would disown His entire Church?
|
Against these boasting, false apostles, Paul boldly defends his apostolic authority and ministry.
|
Paul takes pride in his ministry, not to his own praise but to the praise of God.
|
Either He calls ministers through the agency of men, or He calls them directly as He called the prophets and apostles.
|
Paul declares that the false apostles were called or sent neither by men, nor by man.
|
He mentions the apostles first because they were appointed directly by God.
|
I knew nothing of the doctrine of faith because we were taught sophistry instead of certainty, and nobody understood spiritual boasting.
|
These perverters of the righteousness of Christ resist the Father and the Son, and the works of them both.
|
By His resurrection Christ won the victory over law, sin, flesh, world, devil, death, hell, and every evil.
|
Although the brethren with me are not apostles like myself, yet they are all of one mind with me, think, write, and teach as I do.
|
They do not go where the enemies of the Gospel predominate. They go where the Christians are.
|
Why do they not invade the Catholic provinces and preach their doctrine to godless princes, bishops, and doctors, as we have done by the help of God?
|
We look for that reward which eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither hath entered into the heart of man.
|
Wherever the means of grace are found, there is the Holy Church, even though Antichrist reigns there.
|
So much for the title of the epistle. Now follows the greeting of the apostle. VERSE three.
|
Grace be to you, and peace, from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ.
|
The terms of grace and peace are common terms with Paul and are now pretty well understood.
|
Grace involves the remission of sins, peace, and a happy conscience.
|
To do so is to lose God altogether because God becomes intolerable when we seek to measure and to comprehend His infinite majesty.
|
Did not Christ Himself say I am the way, and the truth, and the life no man cometh unto the Father, but by me?
|
When you argue about the nature of God apart from the question of justification, you may be as profound as you like.
|
We are to hear Christ, who has been appointed by the Father as our divine Teacher.
|
At the same time, Paul confirms our creed, that Christ is very God.
|
To bestow peace and grace lies in the province of God, who alone can create these blessings. The angels cannot.
|
Otherwise Paul should have written Grace from God the Father, and peace from our Lord Jesus Christ.
|
The Arians took Christ for a noble and perfect creature, superior even to the angels, because by Him God created heaven and earth.
|
Not gold, or silver, or paschal lambs, or an angel, but Himself. What for?
|
Not for a crown, or a kingdom, or our goodness, but for our sins.
|
Underscore these words, for they are full of comfort for sore consciences.
|
Paul answers The man who is named Jesus Christ and the Son of God gave himself for our sins.
|
Since Christ was given for our sins it stands to reason that they cannot be put away by our own efforts.
|
This sentence also defines our sins as great, so great, in fact, that the whole world could not make amends for a single sin.
|
The greatness of the ransom, Christ, the Son of God, indicates this.
|
The vicious character of sin is brought out by the words who gave himself for our sins.
|
This passage, then, bears out the fact that all men are sold under sin.
|
This attitude is universal and particularly developed in those who consider themselves better than others.
|
But the real significance and comfort of the words for our sins is lost upon them.
|
On the other hand, we are not to regard them as so terrible that we must despair.
|
The influence with the Timaeus has exercised upon posterity is due partly to a misunderstanding.
