"Then why, if she is grown up and pretty, don't she have a beau?" Content stopped sobbing and gave him a quick glance. "Then -- why doesn't she get married, and go out West to live?" Jim chuckled. Instead of a sob, a faint echo of his chuckle came from Content. Jim laughed merrily. "I say, Content," he cried, "let's have it she's married now, and gone?" "Well," said Content. Jim put his arm around her very nicely and pro- tectingly. "It's all right, then," said he, "as all right as it can be for a girl. Say, Content, ain't it a shame you aren't a boy?"

``As I told you before,'' said Charlton, ``it's conditions that make the human animal whatever it is. It's in the harness of conditions--the treadmill of conditions-- the straight jacket of conditions. Change the conditions and you change the animal.''英文原著 · 《The Conflict》
Or, since not even all things together could contain thee altogether, does any one thing contain a single part, and do all things contain that same part at the same time?

The greeting of the Apostle is refreshing. Grace remits sin, and peace quiets the conscience. Sin and conscience torment us, but Christ has overcome these fiends now and forever. Only Christians possess this victorious knowledge given from above. These two terms, grace and peace, constitute Christianity. Grace involves the remission of sins, peace, and a happy conscience.

The Law reveals guilt, fills the conscience with terror, and drives men to despair.英文原著 · 《Commentary on the Epistle to the Galatians》
