- summary: At the same time all but the poorest burials bear direct evidence of their character as Osiris burials. It is necessary, however, to correct the prevailing impression that religion played the greatest part in Egyptian life or even a greater part than it does in Moslem Egypt.

- summary: And what but that is the meaning of that comic conception of _eternal recurrence_ which issued from the tragic soul of poor Nietzsche, hungering for concrete and temporal immortality? To believe in a living and personal God, in an eternal and universal consciousness that knows and loves us, is to believe that the Universe exists _for_ man.

- summary: When we bear this in mind, we see how natural and inevitable it was that the Church should persecute such men as Galileo and Bruno. It enlarges tenfold the significance of human life, places it upon even a loftier eminence than poets or prophets have imagined, and makes it seem more than ever the chief object of that creative activity which is manifested in the physical universe.

- summary: xii., it is said that there is forgiveness for one who speaketh against the Son of man, which expression may signify, generally, wilful and overt opposition to the law of Christ (Gal. vi. 2); but that there is no forgiveness for one who _speaks_ against the Holy Spirit, i.e. one who by wilful and _overt_ conduct does violence to the sanctifying influence of the Holy Spirit which he has already partaken of. Abel's offering consisted of the firstlings of his flock and the fat thereof, and was, therefore, proper for expressing, by visible tokens, the character of the covenant in three essential particulars: first, that it is a covenant of _life_, the animals chosen affording _food_, and that of the choicest kind, for supporting life; secondly, that the covenanted life is entered upon after death, the animals being _slain_ {22} for food; thirdly, that pain and death, although, according to law, consequent upon sin, were ordained, not alone for the judicial punishment of sin, the animals that were slain being _harmless_, but for rendering the spirit of man meet to partake of the future life.

- summary: So it came to pass, early in December, that Mrs. Weightman and her two daughters sailed for Europe, on their serious pleasure trip, even as it had been written in the book of Providence; and John Weightman, who had made the entry, was left to pass the rest of the winter with his son and heir in the brownstone mansion. John Weightman was like the house into which he had built himself thirty years ago, and in which his ideals and ambitions were incrusted.
