Book Description
Excerpt from Calvary (a Novel) Years and years have passed. Everything that I loved is now dead. Everything that I knew has taken on a new appearance. The church has been rebuilt. It now has an embellished doorway, arched windows, fancy gutter-spouts representing flaming mouths of demons; its new brick belfry laughs gaily into the blue; in place of the old house there now rises an elaborate Swiss cottage built by the new proprietor who, in the enclosure, has increased the number of colored glass balls, small cascades and plaster statues of Love, soiled by rain. But things and people are engraved so profoundly upon my memory that time could not apply a burnisher hard enough to erase them.

Excerpt from All Roads Lead to Calvary There wasn't much difference, so far as I could see, between them and most of us, answered the lit tle old lady. You're not married, dear, she con tinned, glancing at Joan's ungloved hand, but peo ple must have a deal of patience when they have to live with us for twenty-four hours a day.

Book Description
Excerpt from Calvary Alley Hile the prodigal son of the house of Clarke was engaged in breaking stained glass Windows in Calvary Alley, his mother was at home entertaining the bishop with a recital Of his virtues and accomplishments. Considering the fact that Bishop Bland's dislike for children was notori ous, he was bearing the present ordeal with unusual fortitude. They were sitting on the spacious piazza at Hill crest, the country home of the Clarkes, the massive foundation of which was popularly supposed to rest upon bottles. It was a piazza especially designed to offset the discomforts of a Southern August after noon and to make a visitor, especially if he happened to be an ecclesiastical potentate with a taste for lux ury, loath to forsake its pleasant shade for the glar ing world without. Yes, yes, he agreed for the fourth time, a very fine boy. I must say I give myself some credit for your marriage and its successful result.

Excerpt from Calvary, or the Death of Christ: A Poem in Eight Books After a short introduction, which states the miraculous acts of Christ, and serves to mark the period at which the Poem commences, Satan goes forth by night into the wilderness, and finds himself in the very spot where he had in vain practised his temptations upon Christ Here he falls into meditation upon that unsuccessful interview, and vents him/ selfin soliloquy Indignant under disappointment, and impatient to re pair his defeat, he ascends to the summit of the mountain, from whence he had exhibited the kingdoms of the earth, and calls the Devils from all parts of the Heathen world: The whole host of Infernals assembled at his summons The chief leaders are enumerated, their persons and attributes described: Satan addresses them, and proposes the subject matter for their consultation, namely, By what means to counteract the power of Christ upon earth Baal delivers his sentiments by stating difiiculties and objections. Without any decided opinion, unless for se duction in the general Moloch angrily resents what he considers as pointed at himself, and speaks disdainfully against the proposal of se duction, as not only desperate, but disgraceful: Bella] replies, and, after much circumlocution, suggests a temptation to be set on foot by Mammon He is interrupted by Satan, who reproves him for certain digressions in his speech, but adopts his hint of employing Mammon, and calls upon that evil spirit to attempt the fidelity of Judas Iscariot, whom he points out to him as the only one of the disciples open to se duction Mammon at first afi'ects to excuse himself from the under taking, but in conclusion accepts it, and, taking wing in presence of the whole applauding host, sets out upon his embassy, directing his course to the city of Jerusalem.

Excerpt from Mount Calvary: With Meditations in Sacred Places I. - Mount Calvary And The Land Of The Bible. "I'll carve my passions on the bark, And every wounded tree Shall drop and bear some mystic mark That Jesus died for me. The swains shall wonder when they read, Inscribed on all the grove, That Heaven itself came down to bleed, And win a mortal's love." The land of the Bible is not large, but famed above all the earth. Out of its dust Adam was formed. Here man sinned and fell, and the curse, like the mist from the valley, spread over all the world. It was the home of the Patriarchs, and their sepulchres remain to this day. Among the hills and vales of the Holy Land, David's lyre awoke the echoes of melody. Amid its kingly scenery, Solomon reigned in all his glory. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from At the Place Which Is Called Calvary Him shall the obedience of the people The brazen serpent, the sacrifices, the priests, the cities of refuge, were but types of Him.
