Seite 172 - Lord had appointed it or not, he charged us before God and His blessed angels to follow him no further than he followed Christ.

Seite 153 - TAKE them, O Death ! and bear away Whatever thou canst call thine own ! Thine image, stamped upon this clay, Doth give thee that, but that alone ! Take them, O Grave ! and let them lie Folded upon thy narrow shelves As garments by the soul laid by, And precious only to ourselves ! Take them, O great Eternity ! Our little life is but a gust, That bends the branches of thy tree, And trails its blossoms in the dust.
Seite 43 - I will tell you all about it with the greatest pleasure. You will just keep right on till you get some ways into the woods, and you will come to a place where several roads branch off. Then you must stop and consider, and take the one that seems to you most likely to bring you out right.' He did so and came out right. I have always followed the worthy and sensible old lady's advice in bringing up my children. I do not think anybody can do better — at any rate I cannot.
Seite 44 - The boy got into a fit of passionate disobedience, and the Doctor, after a long contest, gave in. An elder member of the family wondered that he should yield. He said that some torrents were so violent that they had better be left to themselves than resisted; and besides, he said he did not wish to set the child an example of obstinate wilfulness, but would rather let him see that the strongest must and could yield sometimes. He was kind to children, and had a happy influence with them. Two little...
Seite 43 - And yet he had some rules practically, whether he knew it or not. One was, never to reprove a child at the moment, or in presence of other persons, but to call him into the study afterwards for a solitary talk. No child, I suppose, ever left his study, on such an occasion, without increased love and reverence for him; but it was a formidable affair, though he used not many words, and was always mild in his manner.
Seite 44 - He was kind to children, and had a happy influence with them. Two little girls, near neighbors of his, had imbibed a great terror of thunder, owing to the example of a grandmother who lived with them. She was accustomed every summer afternoon without fail to walk round and examine the sky in search of thunderclouds, and, if she discerned one no bigger than a man's hand, she would immediately shut herself into her chamber, and generally take the children with her, where she would spend the afternoon...
Seite 43 - Sandwich; and when he made his first exchange with the Plymouth minister, he must needs pass through the Plymouth woods, — a nine miles' wilderness, where travellers almost always got lost, and frequently came out at the point they started from. Dr. H., on entering this much dreaded labyrinth, met an old woman, and asked her to give him some directions for getting through the woods so as to fetch up at Plymouth rather than Sandwich. 'Certainly,' she said, 'I will tell you all about it with the...
Seite 42 - College instructors and dignitaries are seldom fully aware how much they may do for young men in this way. Dr. Ware, you know, had a large family of his own, and, during a large part of his life, he used to have boys in his house to educate. He was considered very wise and successful in the management of them. He used to say that he had no system about it, and never could arrive at any. Once, when asked by a parent to draw up some set of rules for the government of children, he replied by an anecdote:...
Seite 166 - ... when the multiplication of new Societies, and the frequent removal of ministers, have made an ordination an every-day affair, that attracts very little notice, beyond the immediate limits of the parish, to form any adequate conception of the interest of such an occasion at the period referred to. The interest pervaded the whole community, and extended into neighboring towns. Preparations were made for it on a scale of liberality, which seemed to imply that trouble and expense were of no account....
