The Church authorities, enforcing the spirit of the time, were especially severe against these benefactors: that men who openly rejected the means of salvation, and whose souls were undeniably lost, should heal the elect seemed an insult to Providence; preaching friars denounced them from the pulpit, and the rulers in state and church, while frequently secretly ...

And when we uproot we must be careful to replant under more favourable conditions; when we demolish we should be prepared to rebuild, or no comfort will come of the changes. These things take time, and are best done deliberately, and even then the most cautious make their mistakes. ...

The ballot would therefore be of no assistance to the wife in such case, nor could it heal family strifes or dissensions.

All such loss of cells must be made good by the formation of new ones and, as in the case of the nutritive and functional activity, the loss and renewal must balance. The formative activity of cells is of great importance, for it is by means of this that wounds heal and diseases are recovered from. This constant destruction and renewal of the body is well known, and it is no doubt this which has given rise to the belief, widely held, that the body renews itself in seven years and that the changes impressed upon it ...

One salient, awful fact she began gradually to realize, that if she sank back upon the pillows she was lost. Little it would profit her to save her body. She had no choice between her present precarious foothold and the abyss, and wounded as she was she would ...

Now the end of the spiritual life is that man be united to God, and this union is effected by charity, while all things pertaining ...
