الصفحة 21 - Poor people, said a sensible old nurse to us once, do not bring up their children ; they drag them up. The little careless darling of the wealthier nursery, in their hovel is transformed betimes into a premature reflecting person. No one has time to dandle it, no. one thinks it worth while to coax it, to soothe it, to toss it up and down, to humour it.
الصفحة 22 - It is of mangling and clear-starching, of the price of coals, or of potatoes. The questions of the child, that should be the very outpourings of curiosity in idleness, are marked with forecast and melancholy providence. It has come to be a woman before it was a child. It has learned to go to market; it chaffers, it haggles, it envies, it murmurs; it is knowing, acute, sharpened ; it never prattles.
الصفحة 10 - To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God Whom we adore, Be glory, as it was, is now, And shall be evermore.
الصفحة 29 - That the generation to come might know them, Even the children which should be born ; Who should arise and declare them to their children : That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, but keep his commandments...
الصفحة 22 - It had no young dreams. It broke at once into the iron realities of life. A child exists not for the very poor as any object of dalliance ; it is only another mouth to be fed, a pair of little hands to be betimes inured to labor.
الصفحة 22 - The children of the very poor have no young times. It makes the very heart bleed to overhear the casual street-talk between a poor woman and her little girl, a woman of the better sort of poor, in a condition rather above the squalid beings which we have been contemplating. It is not of toys, of nursery books, of summer holidays (fitting that age) ; of the promised sight or play ; of praised sufficiency at school.
الصفحة 22 - It grew up without the lullaby of nurses, it was a stranger to the patient fondle, the hushing caress, the attracting novelty, the costlier plaything, or the cheaper off-hand contrivance to divert the child ; the prattled nonsense (best sense to it), the wise impertinences, the...
الصفحة 58 - And the scribe said unto Him, Well, Master, Thou hast said the truth: for there is one God ; and there is none other but He : and to love Him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, He said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God.
الصفحة 54 - John again those things which ye do hear and see : the blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up,
الصفحة 7 - Lord, Christ, we humbly ask Of thee the power and will, With fear and meekness, every task Of duty to fulfil.
