Sivu 2 - Some trust in chariots, and some in horses : but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.
Sivu 49 - Whoso bringeth an offering of the goods of the poor doeth as one that killeth the son before his father's eyes. The bread of the needy is their life: he that defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood. He that taketh away his neighbour's living slayeth him; and he that defraudeth the labourer of his hire is a bloodshedder.
Sivu 198 - As in th' autumnal heaven Mild rainbow tints at night, When the last shower is stealing down, And ere they sink to rest, The sunbeams weave a parting crown For some sweet woodland nest. The promise of the morrow Is glorious on that eve, Dear as the holy sorrow , When good men cease to live. When brightening ere it die away Mounts up their altar flame, Still tending with intenser ray To heaven, whence first it came. Say not it dies, that glory, Tis caught unquench'd on high, Those saint-like brows...
Sivu 48 - The most High is not pleased with the offerings of the wicked; neither is he pacified for sin by the multitude of sacrifices.
Sivu 4 - Is He beautiful ? Did many foster His Son ? Are His daughters dear and beauteous to men of the world ? Is He in heaven, or in earth ? in the sea, or in rivers ? in mountainous places ? in valleys ? Declare unto us the knowledge of Him. How shall He be seen ? how is He to be loved ? how is He to be found ? Is it in youth — is it in old age, that He is to be found ?'
Sivu 3 - Who is God, and where is God, and of what is God, and where is his dwelling-place ? Has your God sons and daughters, gold and silver ? Is he everliving ? Is he beautiful ? Did...
Sivu 30 - Lord, offering and commending into his hands himself and his people: "O great God! who hast made heaven and earth, look down upon these thy new people. Grant them, O Lord, to know thee the true God, as thou hast been made known to Christian lands, and confirm in them a true and unfailing faith; and assist me, O Lord, against my enemy that opposes me, that, trusting in thee and in thy power, I may overcome all his wiles.
Sivu 135 - This love of children may arise, in a great measure, from the patriarchal system under which they dwell. Every little stranger forms an increase of property to the whole community, and is duly reported to the chief — boys being more welcome than girls. The parents take the name of the child, and often address their children as Ma (mother), or Ra (father). Our eldest boy being named Robert, Mrs. Livingstone was, after his birth, always addressed as Ma-Robert, instead of Mary, her Christian name.
Sivu 3 - It were better for you to confess to our true God, than to inquire concerning our race.
Sivu 5 - Believe ye in life after death ? Believe ye the resurrection at the day of judgment ? ' ' We believe. ' ' Believe ye the unity of the Church ? ' ' We believe.' And they were baptized, and a white garment put upon their heads. And they asked to see the face of Christ. And the saint said unto them, ' Ye cannol see the face of Christ, except ye taste of death, and except ye receive the sacrifice.' And they answered, ' Give us the sacrifice that we may behold the Son, our spouse.
