     summary: Every thing in the Service was solemn to me, except the bishop: he seemed to me a _made-up_ man and a mere pageant. Thus, in my view, at that time, the materials of the Bible were in theory divisible into two portions: concerning the _one_, (which I called Natural Religion,) it not only was not presumptuous, but it was absolutely essential, to form an independent judgment; for this was the real basis of all faith: concerning the _other_, (which I called Revealed Religion,) our business was, not to criticize the message, but to examine the credentials[1] of the messenger; and,--after the most unbiassed possible examination of these,--then, if they proved sound, to receive his communication reverently and unquestioningly.

     summary: Four, corrected Grace; for some day little Elsie will be wanting one. When it was for a long drive to some notable point, all went together, chartering several vehicles for their conveyance; at other times they not unfrequently broke up into smaller parties, some preferring one sort of sport, some another.

     summary: Besides the two sisters, their learned father, and the two young men in the garb of students who had already spoken, there was a third youth present, who looked slightly younger than the dark faced, impetuous Anthony Dalaber, and he sat on the window seat beside the daughters of the house, with the look of one who has the right to claim intimacy. It was this intimacy which bad first brought Anthony Dalaber to the Bridge House; and having once come, he came again and yet again, till he was regarded in the light of a friend and comrade.

     summary: Without faith men collapse into a yielding mass of plaintiveness and fear; with faith they move mountains. Without such faith man feels himself to be, in Goethe's phrase, a troubled wanderer upon a darkened earth.

     summary: Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God: so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear. By this we understand that the principle of power, which existed in the bosom of God, by which the worlds were framed, was faith; and that it is by reason of this principle of power existing in the Deity, that all created things exist--so that all things in heaven, on earth, or under the earth, exist by reason of faith as it existed in HIM. 16.

     summary: When the grace of God is low in our soul, the unseemly parts of human nature are on exhibition; but when the grace of God floods the soul, then Christ is on exhibition and the unseemly parts are hidden away. Put on the whole armor of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.--_Paul_.
