Σελίδα 177 - Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry, and ye gave me meat; thirsty, and ye gave me drink; naked, and ye clothed me; a stranger, and ye took me in.
Σελίδα 155 - Look not every man upon his own things, but every man also upon the things of others.
Σελίδα 26 - Honor, we say again, to the memory of this illustrious patriot ! Nor is there in all the world any sight we would have travelled so far or so soon to see, as that self-same man, when he followed some ragged boy along the quays of Portsmouth, keeping his kind, keen eye upon him, and tempting the young savage to his school with the bribe of a smoking potato. Princes and peers, judges and divines, might have stood uncovered in his presence; and many marble monuments might be removed from the venerable...
Σελίδα 29 - ... he called her mother, and they called her mother, and the first evening of their common life she became the mother of their love and veneration ; and they — ragged, forsaken, hopeless castaways, conceived in sin and shapen in iniquity, became the children of her affection. As far as the east from the west, was their past life to be separated from their future — to be cut off and forgotten. And this cottage, away from the city and its haunts, with its bright fire by night, and the little beds...
Σελίδα 25 - England's floating bulwarks, we would seek out the humble shop where John Pounds achieved his works of mercy, and earned an imperishable fame. There is no poetry in his name, and none in his profession ; but there was more than poetry — the highest, noblest, piety — in his life. Every day within his shop he might be seen cobbling shoes, and surrounded by some score or two of ragged urchins, whom he was converting into useful members of the State.
Σελίδα 28 - One of these adepts in crime had been convicted by the police of ninety-three thefts ; and yet he was only in his twelfth year. They had been treated or regarded as a species of human vermin, baffling the power of the authorities to suppress. They had slept under carts, in door-ways, herding with swine and cattle by night, when the begging or thieving hours were past. Such were the boys that found themselves looking at each other, in wonder and surprise, the first evening they gathered around the...
Σελίδα 30 - ... some nice stories with her kind voice ; and the father, with his kind eyes, asked their advice about some little plans he had in his mind for improving their farm. The feeling of home came warming 'into their hearts, like the emotions of a new existence, as he spoke to them, with his kind voice and eyes, of our house, of our trees, of our cabbages, turnips, potatoes, pigs, and geese, and ducks, which we will grow for our comfort.
Σελίδα 27 - ... None was contemplated or desired. From the beginning to the end, it was to be a cottage establishment; and this one by the lane side, with its rum-seethed, tobacco-smoked walls, and roof of black mouldering straw, was all the heroic founder asked for the working out of his scheme of philanthropy. After the lapse of a week, spent in purifying this little cottage and preparing it for a home for the little unfortunate beings who were to be gathered to its hearth, three were brought in from their...
Σελίδα 28 - After the lapse of a week, spent in purifying this little cottage and preparing it for a home for the little unfortunate beings who were to be gathered to its hearth, three were brought in from their lairs on the frosty pavement or door-stones of the city. In the course of a few weeks, fourteen of these young vagabonds were introduced within the fold of that family circle, varying from five to eighteen years of age, yet all old in the experience of wretchedness and vice. Each had become a hardened...
Σελίδα 29 - There was no illusion about this sudden transformation of their experience. There was that bland, benevolent man in their midst, with his kind eyes and voice, looking and speaking to them as a father to his children. And there was his mother with the law of kindness on her lips, in her looks, in every act and word; and he called her mother, and they called her mother, and the first evening of their common life she became the mother of their love and veneration ; and they— ragged, forsaken, hopeless...
