Side 310 - High heaven, that heard the solemn vow That vow renewed shall daily hear ; Till in life's latest hour I bow, And bless in death a bond so dear.
Side 16 - There would I find a settled rest, While others go and come, No more a stranger or a guest, But like a child at home.
Side 310 - Tis done ! the great transaction's done ; I am my Lord's, and He is mine ; He drew me, and I followed on, Charmed to confess the voice divine. 4 Now rest, my long-divided heart, Fixed on this blissful centre, rest : With ashes who would grudge to part. When called on angels...
Side 163 - It is, in my judgment, one of the great natural wonders of this new world ; and for its eminence in its own class, deserves to be ranked with the Natural Bridge and Niagara, while it is far less known than either. Its dimensions, by the most direct course, are more than 1,600 feet; and by the more winding paths, twice that length ; and its objects are remarkable for their variety, formation, and beauty. In both respects, it will, I think, compare, without injury to itself, with the celebrated Grotto...
Side 119 - It was made by a party of ninety persons from New England. On arriving at this spot they gave themselves to prayer, that they might be directed in choosing their restingplace in the wilderness and enjoy the blessing of God. At first they rested with their little ones in the wagons ; and the first permanent building they erected was a church.
Side 257 - Accordingly prayer meetings were held in the different districts of the town in the morning, and in the afternoon a public meeting was attended, at which the pastors made a full and particular exhibition of...
Side 104 - You must see in it all the stages of growth, decay, dissolution and regeneration ; you must see it pressing on you and overshadowing you by its silent forms, and at other times spreading itself before you like a natural park ; you must see that all the clearances made by the human hand bear no higher relation to it than does a mountain to the globe ; you must travel in it in...
Side 160 - ... the roof, and leaves the fine arch expanding over your head untouched. There is a beautiful concretion here standing out in the room, which certainly has the form and drapery of a gigantic statue ; it bears the name of the Nation's Hero, and the whole place is filled with those projections; appearances which excite the imagination by suggesting resemblances, and leaving them unfinished. The general effect, too, was, perhaps, indescribable. The fine perspective of this room, four times the length...
Side 129 - When the subject was thus announced, there was a pause. The chairman solicited remark. Still there was a pause ; and nothing to relieve it. The lights were few ; the room looked heavy and dull ; and those who occupied it looked heavy also and dull. All was sombre and silent ; except that spitting was engaging the interval, and was so continuous as to be like rain pattering from the roof, and so universal as to make you feel that you must get wet.
Side 101 - Let me dismiss the subject of bad roads for this journey by stating, in illustration, that with an empty coach and four horses, we were seven hours in going twenty-three miles ; and that we were twenty-eight hours in getting to Columbus, a distance of one hundred and ten miles.
