الصفحة 289 - What could I do?" recounting the above difficulties he had had in gathering a staff. I finally told him- that if he would revise his list, releasing a few of our men and taking one or two others whom he had omitted, I would bear the calamity silently and with what grace I could, although I felt his act comparable to that of a housekeeper who would steal in at the back door to engage servants at a higher price.
الصفحة 539 - ... ought to be for the new postbellum epoch now opening what the Holy Ghost was to the early church, for in it the higher powers of man have their chief deployment. There is a final lesson from the church that we ought to lay to heart. Beside and above all its elaborate medieval organization, even when it was at the height of its power and aspired to universal dominion, its greatest leaders always felt that above and beyond it was the larger Church Invisible, eternal, not made with hands, the membership...
