If I have renounced the search of truth, if I have come into the port of some pretending dogmatism, some new church, some Schellin...g or Cousin, I have died to all use of these new events that are born out of prolific time into multitude of life every hour. I am as bankrupt to whom brilliant opportunities offer in vain. He has just foreclosed his freedom, tied his hands, locked himself up and given the key to another to keep.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
We were hospitably entertained in Concord, New Hampshire, which we persisted in calling New Concord, as we had been wont, to disti...nguish it from our native town, from which we had been told that it was named and in part originally settled. This would have been the proper place to conclude our voyage, uniting Concord with Concord by these meandering rivers, but our boat was moored some miles below its port.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
It is not generally remembered, if known, by the descendants of the Pilgrims, that when their forefathers were spending their firs...t memorable winter in the New World, they had for neighbors a colony of French no further off than Port Royal (Annapolis, Nova Scotia) ... where, in spite of many vicissitudes, they had been for fifteen years....

Such is the confidence that we have through Christ toward God.

For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of br...ead, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, -This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me. In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, -This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
And no one puts new wine into old wineskins; otherwise, the wine will burst the skins, and the wine is lost, and so are the skins;... but one puts new wine into fresh wineskins.LESSATTRIBUTION DETAIL »
