stations. Denis knew the names of those stations by heart.
Bole, Tritton, Spavin Delawarr, Knipswich for Timpany, West
Bowlby, and, finally, Camlet-on-the-Water. Camlet was where he
always got out, leaving the train to creep indolently onward,
goodness only knew whither, into the green heart of England. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

1902. I went down into the under-world of London with an attitude of
mind which I may best liken to that of the explorer. I was open to
be convinced by the evidence of my eyes, rather than by the
teachings of those who had not seen, or by the words of those who
had seen and gone before. Further, I took with me certain simple
criteria with which to measure the life of the under-world. That which
made for more life, for physical and spiritual health, was good;
that which made for less life, which hurt, and dwarfed, and
distorted life, was bad. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

of the Will, so unfortunately opposed to the misnamed doctrine of Philosophical Necessity; but Civil,
or Social Liberty: the nature and limits of the power which
can be legitimately exercised by society over the individual.
A question seldom stated, and hardly ever discussed, in general terms, but which profoundly influences the practical
controversies of the age by its latent presence, and is likely
soon to make itself recognized as the vital question of the
future. It is so far from being new, that, in a certain sense,
it has divided mankind, almost from the remotest ages, but
in the stage of progress into which the more civilized portions of the species have now entered, it presents itself
under new conditions, and requires a different and more fundamental treatment. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
| 8 | Author: | Hadden, Jeffrey | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Electronic Churches | | | | Published: | 2003 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Text collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | In recent years the
electronic church has become a source of great controversy.
The initial critics, largely mainline Protestant leaders,
charged that the electronic church constitutes a threat to
local congregations. The television preachers, critics
argued, make it too easy for people to get their religion in
the comfort of their living rooms. [1]
The perceived threat of
losing communicants from the pews and dollars from the
offering plate has resulted in a barrage of wide-ranging
attacks on the televangelists. | | | Similar Items: | Find |

1837-1920 | Requires cookie* | | | Title: | The Rise of Silas Lapham | | | | Published: | 2003 | | | | Subjects: | University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text | | | | Description: | When Bartley Hubbard went to interview Silas
Lapham for the "Solid Men of Boston" series, which
he undertook to finish up in The Events, after he
replaced their original projector on that newspaper,
Lapham received him in his private office by previous
appointment. "Will you and General Lapham—" Dear Friend,—I expected when I sent you that note,
that you would understand, almost the next day, why I
could not see you any more. You must know now, and
you must not think that if anything happened to my
father, I should wish you to help him. But that is no
reason why I should not thank you, and I do thank you,
for offering. It was like you, I will say that. Dearest,—What I did was nothing, till you praised it.
Everything I have and am is yours. Won't you send a line
by the bearer, to say that I may come to see you? I know
how you feel; but I am sure that I can make you think
differently. You must consider that I loved you without
a thought of your father's circumstances, and always shall. | | | Similar Items: | Find |
