Sida 41 - It was held in a low-roofed den, in a sickening atmosphere, in the midst of taint and dirt and pestilence: with all the deadly sins let loose, howling and shrieking at the doors. Zeal did not supply the place of method and training; the teachers knew little of their office; the pupils, with an evil sharpness, found them out, got the better of them, derided them, made blasphemous answers to scriptural questions, sang, fought, danced, robbed each other; seemed possessed by legions of devils. The place...
Sida 40 - School iu an obscure place called West Street, Saffron Hill, pitifully struggling for life under every disadvantage. It had no means ; it had no suitable rooms ; it derived no power or protection from being recognised by any authority ; it attracted within its walls a fluctuating swarm of faces — young in years, but youthful in nothing else — that scowled Hope out of countenance. It was held in a low-roofed den, in a sickening atmosphere, in the midst of taint, and dirt, and pestilence ; with...
Sida 5 - Godliness is profitable for all things; having the promise of the life that now is, as well as of that which is to come.
Sida 62 - Arise, cry out in the night: in the beginning of the watches pour out thine heart like water before the face of the Lord: lift up thy hands toward him for the life of thy young children, that faint for hunger in the top of every street.
Sida 137 - No tongue can express good Mrs. Bowyer. Val. Le Grice and I were once going to be flogged for some domestic misdeed, and Bowyer was thundering away at us by way of prologue, when Mrs. B. looked in, and said, ' Flog them soundly, sir, I beg!
Sida 70 - HAPPY soul, thy days are ended, All thy mourning days below : Go, by angel guards attended, To the sight of Jesus go ! Waiting to receive thy spirit, Lo ! the Saviour stands above, Shows the purchase of his merit, Reaches out the crown of love.
Sida 50 - Hill. The Teachers are desirous of laying before the public a few facts connected with this school, situated in this most wretched and demoralised locality. It was opened in 1841 for instructing (free of expense) those who, from their poverty or ragged condition, are prevented attending any other place of religious instruction. The school is under the superintendence of the District Missionary of the London City Mission, and is opened on Sunday and also on Thursday evening, when the average attendance...
Sida 4 - ... because it no longer can appeal to any sense of shame ; — and all this, because we will obstinately persist in setting our own wilfulness against the experience of mankind and the wisdom of Revelation, and believe that we can regenerate the hardened man while we utterly neglect his pliant childhood. You are right to punish those awful miscreants who make a trade of blasphemy, and pollute the very atmosphere by their foul exhibitions ; but you will never subdue their disciples and admirers,...
Sida 4 - The country is wearied with pamphlets and speeches on jail-discipline, modelprisons, and corrective processes ; meanwhile crime advances at a rapid pace ; many are discharged because they cannot be punished, and many become worse by the very punishment they undergo— punishment is disarmed of a large part of its terrors, because it no longer can appeal to any sense of shame ; and all this, because we will obstinately persist in setting our own wilfulness against the experience of mankind and the...
Sida 136 - Boy ! the school is your father ! Boy ! the school is your mother ! Boy ! the school is your brother ! the school is your sister ! the school is your first cousin, and your second cousin, and all the rest of your relations ! Let's have no more crying !" No tongue can express good Mrs.
