This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1889. Excerpt: ... 1 I CREDO. I "CREDO. # # # Snohomish dwells at Lastchance. Torn out of his own life in the world, as it were, and sent to so forlorn a spot, only to live Christ-like, he has missed all the deep philosophy of the day. The conscientious modelling of new creeds, the religious despair over the dark, mutual decline of faith, could weigh nothing before the 'sad, expectant eyes that have in such strict truth believed the Christ of Calvary. The miracles of old, the acts of healing, the turning of water into wine, are not so marvellous to him as the ghostly sayings that forever rule above the world. Trite are they and lightly held of the unbelieving world, that forever writes them immutably at last in its own blood "Hearken ye He that will save his life shall lose it, and he that loseth his life for my sake and the truth, the same shall save it unto life Eternal " Mourn did He, and had exceeding joy resigned all, and counted infinite possessions served lowly, and was a king died, and is alive for evermore Who--who, then, shall be greatest in the kingdom of heaven? Dark looks from disciple to sage, from the lord of this world's goods to noted philanthropist. But He--the humble, stainless Christ of truth, --He lifted a little child, and set him in the midst of them Whoso thus believeth.
