Matthew Arnold (Rugby Chapel):

Servants of God-or sons
Shall I not call you? because
Not as servants ye knew
Your Father's innermost mind,
His, who unwillingly sees
One of his little ones lost.

Browning (The Ring and the Book):
And he'll go duly docile all his days.

Browning (By the Fireside):

Think, when our one soul understands,
The great Word which makes all things new,
When earth breaks up and heaven expands,
How will the change strike me and you,
In the house not made with hands.

Macaulay: Cursed be Sallie! For it is written, Cursed be he who removeth his neighbor's landmark. (When a maid had disarranged some stones which marked off his garden.)

Percy B. Shelley (Defense of Poetry): Their errors have been weighed and found to have been dust in the balance; if their sins were as scarlet, they are now white as snow; they have been washed in the blood of the mediator and redeemer, Time. Observe in what a Judicrous chaos the imputations of real or fictitious crime have been confused in the contemporary calumnies against poetry and poets; consider how little is as it appears-or appears as it is; look to your own mo tives, and judge not, lest ye be judged.

Longfellow (Theologian's Tale):

Not to one church alone, but seven,

The voice prophetic spoke from heaven;

And unto each the promise came,
Diversified, but still the same;
For him that overcometh are

The new name written on the stone,
The raiment white, the crown, the throne,
And I will give him the Morning Star!

Matthew Arnold (Essays): He Wordsworth is one of the very chief glories of English poetry; and by nothing is England so glorious as by her poetry. Let us lay aside every weight which hinders our getting him recognized as this.

What we have of Shelley in poetry and prose suited with this charming picture of him; Mrs. Shelley's account suited with it; it was a possession which one would hardly have kept unimpaired. It still subsists, I must now add; it subsists even after one has read the present biography; it subsists, but so as by fire.

It [society] looked in Byron's glass and it looks in Lord Beaconfield's, and sees, or fancies that it sees, its own face there; and then it goes its way, and straightway forgets what manner of man it saw.

Alfred De Vigny: Richelien was destined ere he died to see his policy, his efforts, his sacrifices, fully justified by success. Though he was not to enjoy the full fruition brought by the treaties of Westphalia and of the Pyrenees, yet he had a Pisgah view of the prom ised land.

Reginald Heber (Palestine):

No hammers fell, no ponderous axes rung; Like some tall palm the mystic fabric sprung. Cowper (Winter's Morning Walk):

Silently as a dream the fabric rose,

No sound of hammer or of saw was there.

The Century (The Tide of Affairs): The role of an eternal Lazarus, however nutritious the crumbs that fell from the master's table, seems not to appeal to the masses as an inspiring role.

The Century (The Tide of Affairs) : Even a runner might have beard and understood what the candidate meant.

Goethe (Faust):

Consummatum est.

George H. Martin (Evolution of the Massachusetts Public School System): Master for twenty

eight years at

་

is a John the Baptist, suggesting Elias, or one of the old prophets. He ranks with Ezekiel Cheever and Elijah Corlet and after him Nehemiah Cleveland, Eliphalet Pearson, Joseph Emerson, Samuel Taylor, and Charles Hammond. There were giants in those days,

Alexander Pope:

And hence one master passion in the breast, Like Aaron's serpent swallows up the rest. Whittier (Hymns):

Who by Zion's fountains wear

On their foreheads, white and broad,
"Holiness unto the Lord!”

Whittier ("The Human Sacrifice"):

O thou! at whose rebuke the grave
Back to warm life its sleeper gave,
Beneath whose sad and tearful glance
The cold and changed countenance
Broke the still horror of the trance,
And, waking, saw with joy above,
A brother's face of tenderest love;
Thon, unto whom the blind and lame,
The sorrowing and the sin-sick came,

And from the very garment's hem
Drew life and healing unto them.

With that deep voice which from the skies
Forbade the patriarch's sacrifice,

God's angel cries, Forbear!

Shakespeare (King John, Act III, Scene 1, Speech of Constance): Compare his description of a certain day with Job 3. 1-9.

CHAPTER XXV

PASSAGES FOR SPECIAL STUDY

THE following passages should be carefully studied for their literary value. The retaining of many of them in memory would constitute a literary asset.

Genesis 1. 1-5

In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters,

And God said, Let there be light; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness.

And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night.

And the evening and the morning were the first day.

Numbers 6. 2227

And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, The Lord bless thee, and keep thee:

The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee:

The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.

And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them.

And all these blessings shall come on thee and over
