Seite 88 - That is the current, but not the appropriate name ; ask for a glass of liquid fire and distilled damnation, and you shall have a gallon.' Poor man ! he turned pale, and, for a moment, seemed struggling with anger. But knowing that I did not mean to insult him, he stretched out his hand, and said, ' Brother Hall, I thank you from the bottom of my heart ! ' From that time he ' ceased to take brandy and water.
Seite 98 - And he said unto him, If they hear not Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be persuaded though one rose from the dead. Then said he unto the disciples, It is impossible but that offences will come : but woe unto him through whom they come !
