A devotional poem by Christina Rossetti expresses Christ's sacrifice and love, followed by a legalistic note quoting scriptural and civil arguments against marrying a deceased wife's sister. The passage contrasts sacred devotion with cautionary family law guidance.
Luther’s 1525 admonition warns ministers to bar open sinners from the sacrament while inviting repentant believers still seeking grace. It emphasizes conscience-based discernment, potential exclusion for avarice hatred wrath envy usury unchastity, and caution not to deny grace to those showing true improvement.
In 1535 Luther and colleagues Jonas and Melanchthon respond to a pastor asking if a man may marry his deceased wife's sister. They state they agree that in the proposed case matrimony is permitted according to the will of God and provide guidance on the matter.
A Philadelphia Ledger reflection notes Washington rarely spoke at the Constitutional Convention while guiding the process as chairman of the committee of the whole. Jefferson also avoided speeches, Napoleon prized deeds over words, and true greatness is judged by impact and restraint, not length of discourse.
The text echoes Jesus blessing believers who handle serpents or drink poisons without harm and heal the sick through touch. It reframes divine protection as a call to be helpful and safe for others, warning that neglecting helpfulness endangers the doer.
The text reflects on martyrdom as daily endurance rather than dramatic final moments. It notes Christians bearing deep, incommunicable grief with quiet faith, choosing “Father, not as I will, but, as thou wilt,” as the essence of martyrdom in hardship.
A devotional note emphasizes the soul as the center of God and urges guarding it from guilt and defects, keeping it quiet from fear and peaceful amidst temptations and tribulations. The author signs as M. Molinua.
A critical essay questions the notion of a fifty year deadline for ministers. It argues against arbitrary age limits and cites clergy like Storrs and McLaren as examples of enduring vigor. It warns that pushing ripe preachers from pulpits harms church life and calls for faithful, experienced leadership.
The speaker cites Jesus lines about not opposing us and being on our side to argue for cautious recognition of friends as well as enemies. The passage urges careful counting of allies, not only foes, as a practical truth.
The passage contrasts fluency with impact, noting Moses was slow of speech yet mighty in deeds. It suggests that fluent words do not always carry force, while the wise' words function as sturdy, well fastened teachings drawn from a guiding shepherd.
A public dinner incident shows a young man mockingly disparaging women, prompting a guest to defend mothers and sisters. The tale contrasts flippant attitudes with a clergyman’s tribute to the integrity and nobility of womanhood.
The Commercial Club of Chicago discussed safeguarding youth morals and the role of home training. Articles on summer diet favor peas beans whole grains and green vegetables over meat with a recipe for milk sherbet. A humor piece notes a widow buying General Mahone’s Petersburg residence for 9000 dollars.
A speaker sketches under an oak in midsummer as five bobolinks laugh in a riddle of birdsong. The verses ponder whether the birds share a joke about summer, clouds, or the artist’s easel, concluding that only tones reveal the tune of joy in June.
