עמוד 227 - For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth ; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
עמוד 173 - Sirs, why do ye these things ? We also are men of like passions with you, and bring you good tidings, that ye should turn from these vain things unto the living God, who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that in them is : who in the generations gone by suffered all the nations to walk in their own ways.
עמוד 30 - The various powers cast upon us looks of tiger-like voracity, hustling each other in their endeavors to be the first to seize upon our innermost territories. They think that China, having neither money nor troops, would never venture to go to war with them. They fail to understand, however, that there are certain things which this Empire can never consent to, and that, if...
עמוד 186 - I will appear to you, 17 delivering you from the people and from the Gentiles — to whom I send you 18 to open their eyes, that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.
עמוד 117 - And the sons of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee ; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet ; and they shall call thee The city of the Lord, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
עמוד 194 - And, moreover, we do declare her to be deprived of her pretended title to the kingdom aforesaid, and of all dominion, dignity, and privilege whatsoever.
עמוד 31 - It is our special command, therefore, that should any high official find himself so hard pressed by circumstances that nothing short of war would settle matters, he is expected to set himself resolutely to work out his duty to this end. Or perhaps it would be that war has already actually been declared ; under such circumstances there is no possible chance of the Imperial Government consenting to an immediate conference for the restoration of peace. It...
עמוד 33 - This yamen has received the special commands of Her Imperial Majesty the Empress Dowager and His Imperial Majesty the Emperor to grant you full power and liberty to resist by force of arms all aggressions upon your several jurisdictions, proclaiming a state of war, if necessary, without first asking for instructions from Pekin, for this loss of time may be fatal to your security and enable the enemy to make good his footing against your forces.
עמוד 222 - Confucianism, as now practised, is inadequate to lift us from the present plight, why retaliate by scoffing at other religions ? Not only is such a procedure useless; it is dangerous. For the people imitate their rulers, and the scoundrels and ruffians of China take occasion to create disturbances against foreigners, and without provocation injure them, and thus grieve the heart of our Emperor. The foreigners themselves are aroused against us, and calamity falls like gloom upon the country. How can...
עמוד 32 - With such a country as ours, with her vast areas stretching out several tens of thousands of li, her immense natural resources, and her hundreds of millions of inhabitants, if only each and all of you would prove his loyalty to his Emperor and love of country, what, indeed, is there to fear from any invader? Let no one think of making peace, but let each strive to preserve from destruction and spoliation his ancestral home and graves...
