the practise of gathering its proselytes into one place prevents the building up and strengthening of foreign branches and inasmuch as extensive and strong organizations are seldom met with abroad very erroneous ideas exist concerning the strength of the church

then the church was disincorporated and its property both real and personal confiscated and escheated to the government of the united states and although the personal property was soon restored real estate of great value long lay in the hands of the court's receiver and the mormon church had to pay the national government high rental on its own property

totty however had descended from her chair with great swiftness and was already in retreat towards the dairy with a sort of waddling run and an amount of fat on the nape of her neck which made her look like the metamorphosis of a white suckling pig

when she had that bad illness and i was only eleven years old she used to say you'll have a friend on earth in your aunt rachel if i'm taken from you for she has a kind heart and i'm sure i've found it so

i can no more help spending my life in trying to do what i can for the souls of others than you could help running if you heard little totty crying at the other end of the house the voice would go to your heart you would think the dear child was in trouble or in danger and you couldn't rest without running to help her and comfort her

this missus poyser said blushing and believing that the captain was really interested in her milk pans and would adjust his opinion of her to the appearance of her dairy

all about him was a tumult of bright and broken color scattered in broad splashes

ɔl əbaʊt hɪm wɑːz ə tuːməlt ʌv braɪt ənd broʊkən kʌlɝ skætɝd ɪn brɔd splæʃɪz


the merganser had a crested head of iridescent green black a broad collar of lustrous white black back black and white wings white belly sides finely pencilled in black and white and a breast of rich chestnut red streaked with black

his feet were red his long narrow beak with its saw toothed edges and sharp hooked tip was bright red

but here he was at a terrible disadvantage as compared with the owls hawks and eagles he had no rending claws

but suddenly straight and swift as a diving cormorant he shot down into the torrent and disappeared beneath the surface

once fairly a wing however he wheeled and made back hurriedly for his perch

wʌns fɛrli ə wɪŋ haʊɛvɝ hiː wiːld ənd meɪd bæk hɝːiːdli fɔr hɪz pɝːtʃ


it might have seemed that a trout of this size was a fairly substantial meal

ɪt maɪt hæv siːmd ðæt ə traʊt ʌv ðɪs saɪz wɑːz ə fɛrli səbstænʃəl miːl


but such was his keenness that even while the wide flukes of his engorged victim were still sticking out at the corners of his beak his fierce red eyes were once more peering downward into the torrent in search of fresh prey

in despair he hurled himself downward too soon

ɪn dɪspɛr hiː hɝːld hɪmsɛlf daʊnwɝd tuː suːn


the great hawk followed hurriedly to retrieve his prey from the ground

ðə greɪt hɔk fɑːloʊd hɝːiːdli tuː rɪtriːv hɪz preɪ frʌm ðə graʊnd


the cat growled softly picked up the prize in her jaws and trotted into the bushes to devour it

ðə kæt graʊld sɔftli pɪkt ʌp ðə praɪz ɪn hɝː dʒɔz ənd trɑːtəd ɪntuː ðə bʊʃəz tuː dɪvaʊɝ ɪt


in fact he had just finished it the last of the trout's tail had just vanished with a spasm down his strained gullet when the baffled hawk caught sight of him and swooped

ɪn fækt hiː hæd dʒʌst fɪnɪʃt ɪt ðə læst ʌv ðə traʊts teɪl hæd dʒʌst vænɪʃt wɪð ə spæzəm daʊn hɪz streɪnd gʌlət wɛn ðə bæfəld hɔk kɑːt saɪt ʌv hɪm ənd swuːpt


the hawk alighted on the dead branch and sat upright motionless as if surprised

ðə hɔk əlaɪtɪd ɑːn ðə dɛd bræntʃ ənd sæt əpraɪt moʊʃənləs æz ɪf sɝpraɪzd


like his unfortunate little cousin the teal he too had felt the fear of death smitten into his heart and was heading desperately for the refuge of some dark overhanging bank deep fringed with weeds where the dreadful eye of the hawk should not discern him

laɪk hɪz ənfɔrtʃənət lɪtəl kʌzən ðə tiːl hiː tuː hæd fɛlt ðə fɪr ʌv dɛθ smɪtən ɪntuː hɪz hɑːrt ənd wɑːz hɛdɪŋ dɛspɝətli fɔr ðə rɛfjuːdʒ ʌv sʌm dɑːrk oʊvɝhæŋɪŋ bæŋk diːp frɪndʒd wɪð wiːdz wɛr ðə drɛdfəl aɪ ʌv ðə hɔk ʃʊd nɑːt dɪsɝːn hɪm


the hawk sat upon the branch and watched his quarry swimming beneath the surface

ðə hɔk sæt əpɑːn ðə bræntʃ ənd wɑːtʃt hɪz kwɔri swɪmɪŋ bɪniːθ ðə sɝːfəs


almost instantly he was forced to the top

ɔlmoʊst ɪnstəntli hiː wɑːz fɔrst tuː ðə tɑːp


straightway the hawk glided from his perch and darted after him

streɪtweɪ ðə hɔk glaɪdɪd frʌm hɪz pɝːtʃ ənd dɑːrtɪd æftɝ hɪm


but at this point in the rapids it was impossible for him to stay down

bʌt æt ðɪs pɔɪnt ɪn ðə ræpədz ɪt wɑːz ɪmpɑːsəbəl fɔr hɪm tuː steɪ daʊn


but this frequenter of the heights of air for all his savage valor was troubled at the leaping waves and the tossing foam of these mad rapids he did not understand them

bʌt ðɪs friːkwəntɝ ʌv ðə haɪts ʌv ɛr fɔr ɔl hɪz sævədʒ vælɝ wɑːz trʌbəld æt ðə liːpɪŋ weɪvz ənd ðə tɔsɪŋ foʊm ʌv ðiːz mæd ræpədz hiː dɪd nɑːt əndɝstænd ðɛm


as he flew his down reaching clutching talons were not half a yard above the fugitive's head

æz hiː fluː hɪz daʊn riːtʃɪŋ klʌtʃɪŋ tælənz wɝː nɑːt hæf ə jɑːrd əbʌv ðə fjuːdʒɪtɪvz hɛd


where the waves for an instant sank they came closer but not quite within grasping reach

wɛr ðə weɪvz fɔr æn ɪnstənt sæŋk ðeɪ keɪm kloʊsɝ bʌt nɑːt kwaɪt wɪðɪn græspɪŋ riːtʃ


but as before the leaping waves of the rapids were too much for his pursuer and he was able to flap his way onward in a cloud of foam while doom hung low above his head yet hesitated to strike

bʌt æz bɪfɔr ðə liːpɪŋ weɪvz ʌv ðə ræpədz wɝː tuː mʌtʃ fɔr hɪz pɝsuːɝ ənd hiː wɑːz eɪbəl tuː flæp hɪz weɪ ɔnwɝd ɪn ə klaʊd ʌv foʊm waɪl duːm hʌŋ loʊ əbʌv hɪz hɛd jɛt hɛzɪteɪtɪd tuː straɪk


the hawk embittered by the loss of his first quarry had become as dogged in pursuit as a weasel not to be shaken off or evaded or deceived

ðə hɔk ɛmbɪtɝd baɪ ðə lɔs ʌv hɪz fɝːst kwɔri hæd bɪkʌm æz dɔgd ɪn pɝsuːt æz ə wiːzəl nɑːt tuː biː ʃeɪkən ɔf ɔr ɪveɪdɪd ɔr dɪsiːvd


he had a lot of line out and the place was none too free for a long cast but he was impatient to drop his flies again on the spot where the big fish was feeding

hiː hæd ə lɑːt ʌv laɪn aʊt ənd ðə pleɪs wɑːz nʌn tuː friː fɔr ə lɔŋ kæst bʌt hiː wɑːz ɪmpeɪʃənt tuː drɑːp hɪz flaɪz əgɛn ɑːn ðə spɑːt wɛr ðə bɪg fɪʃ wɑːz fiːdɪŋ


the last drop fly as luck would have it caught just in the corner of the hawk's angrily open beak hooking itself firmly

at the sudden sharp sting of it the great bird turned his head and noticed for the first time the fisherman standing on the bank

the drag upon his beak and the light check upon his wings were inexplicable to him and appalling

then the leader parted from the line


he is a welcome figure at the garden parties of the elect who are always ready to encourage him by accepting free seats for his play actor managers nod to him editors allow him to contribute without charge to a symposium on the price of golf balls

in short he becomes a prominent figure in london society and if he is not careful somebody will say so

but even the unsuccessful dramatist has his moments

your play must be not merely a good play but a successful one

and i should begin with a short homily on soliloquy

ham to be or not to be


now the object of this soliloquy is plain

naʊ ðə ɑːbdʒɛkt ʌv ðɪs səlɪləkwi ɪz pleɪn


indeed irresolution being the keynote of hamlet's soliloquy a clever player could to some extent indicate the whole thirty lines by a silent working of the jaw but at the same time it would be idle to deny that he would miss the finer shades of the dramatist's meaning

ɪndiːd ɪrɛsəluːʃən biːɪŋ ðə kiːnoʊt ʌv hæmləts səlɪləkwi ə klɛvɝ pleɪɝ kʊd tuː sʌm ɪkstɛnt ɪndəkeɪt ðə hoʊl θɝːdiː laɪnz baɪ ə saɪlənt wɝːkɪŋ ʌv ðə dʒɔ bʌt æt ðə seɪm taɪm ɪt wʊd biː aɪdəl tuː dɪnaɪ ðæt hiː wʊd mɪs ðə faɪnɝ ʃeɪdz ʌv ðə dræmətɪsts miːnɪŋ


we moderns however see the absurdity of it

if it be granted first that the thoughts of a certain character should be known to the audience and secondly that soliloquy or the habit of thinking aloud is in opposition to modern stage technique how shall a soliloquy be avoided without damage to the play

how strange it seemed to the sad woman as she watched the growth and the beauty that became every day more brilliant and the intelligence that threw its quivering sunshine over the tiny features of this child

yet these thoughts affected hester prynne less with hope than apprehension

the child had a native grace which does not invariably co exist with faultless beauty its attire however simple always impressed the beholder as if it were the very garb that precisely became it best

hester could only account for the child's character and even then most vaguely and imperfectly by recalling what she herself had been during that momentous period while pearl was imbibing her soul from the spiritual world and her bodily frame from its material of earth

hester prynne nevertheless the loving mother of this one child ran little risk of erring on the side of undue severity

mindful however of her own errors and misfortunes she early sought to impose a tender but strict control over the infant immortality that was committed to her charge

as to any other kind of discipline whether addressed to her mind or heart little pearl might or might not be within its reach in accordance with the caprice that ruled the moment

it was a look so intelligent yet inexplicable perverse sometimes so malicious but generally accompanied by a wild flow of spirits that hester could not help questioning at such moments whether pearl was a human child

beholding it hester was constrained to rush towards the child to pursue the little elf in the flight which she invariably began to snatch her to her bosom with a close pressure and earnest kisses not so much from overflowing love as to assure herself that pearl was flesh and blood and not utterly delusive

brooding over all these matters the mother felt like one who has evoked a spirit but by some irregularity in the process of conjuration has failed to win the master word that should control this new and incomprehensible intelligence

if spoken to she would not speak again


hester prynne went one day to the mansion of governor bellingham with a pair of gloves which she had fringed and embroidered to his order and which were to be worn on some great occasion of state for though the chances of a popular election had caused this former ruler to descend a step or two from the highest rank he still held an honourable and influential place among the colonial magistracy

another and far more important reason than the delivery of a pair of embroidered gloves impelled hester at this time to seek an interview with a personage of so much power and activity in the affairs of the settlement

at that epoch of pristine simplicity however matters of even slighter public interest and of far less intrinsic weight than the welfare of hester and her child were strangely mixed up with the deliberations of legislators and acts of state

the mother herself as if the red ignominy were so deeply scorched into her brain that all her conceptions assumed its form had carefully wrought out the similitude lavishing many hours of morbid ingenuity to create an analogy between the object of her affection and the emblem of her guilt and torture

but the essence of luther's lectures is there

bʌt ðə ɛsəns ʌv luːθɝz lɛktʃɝz ɪz ðɛr


the lord who has given us power to teach and to hear let him also give us the power to serve and to do luke two

ðə lɔrd huː hæz gɪvən ʌs paʊɝ tuː tiːtʃ ənd tuː hiːr lɛt hɪm ɔlsoʊ gɪv ʌs ðə paʊɝ tuː sɝːv ənd tuː duː luːk tuː


the word of our god shall stand forever

ðə wɝːd ʌv aʊɝ gɑːd ʃæl stænd fɝɛvɝ


in every way they sought to undermine the authority of saint paul

ɪn ɛvɝi weɪ ðeɪ sɔt tuː ʌndɝmaɪn ðə əθɔrəti ʌv seɪnt pɔl


they said to the galatians you have no right to think highly of paul

ðeɪ sɛd tuː ðə gəleɪʃənz juː hæv noʊ raɪt tuː θɪŋk haɪli ʌv pɔl


he was the last to turn to christ


paul came later and is beneath us


indeed he persecuted the church of christ for a long time

ɪndiːd hiː pɝːsəkjuːtəd ðə tʃɝːtʃ ʌv kraɪst fɔr ə lɔŋ taɪm


do you suppose that god for the sake of a few lutheran heretics would disown his entire church

duː juː səpoʊz ðæt gɑːd fɔr ðə seɪk ʌv ə fjuː luːθɝən hɛrɛtɪks wʊd dɪsoʊn hɪz ɪntaɪɝ tʃɝːtʃ


against these boasting false apostles paul boldly defends his apostolic authority and ministry

əgɛnst ðiːz boʊstɪŋ fɔls əpɔsəlz pɔl boʊldli dɪfɛndz hɪz æpɔstɔlɪk əθɔrəti ənd mɪnəstri


as the ambassador of a government is honored for his office and not for his private person so the minister of christ should exalt his office in order to gain authority among men

æz ðə æmbæsədɝ ʌv ə gʌvɝnmənt ɪz ɑːnɝd fɔr hɪz ɔfəs ənd nɑːt fɔr hɪz praɪvət pɝːsən soʊ ðə mɪnəstɝ ʌv kraɪst ʃʊd ɪgzɔlt hɪz ɔfəs ɪn ɔrdɝ tuː geɪn əθɔrəti əmʌŋ mɛn


paul takes pride in his ministry not to his own praise but to the praise of god

pɔl teɪks praɪd ɪn hɪz mɪnəstri nɑːt tuː hɪz oʊn preɪz bʌt tuː ðə preɪz ʌv gɑːd


paul an apostle not of men et cetera


either he calls ministers through the agency of men or he calls them directly as he called the prophets and apostles

iːðɝ hiː kɔlz mɪnəstɝz θruː ðə eɪdʒənsi ʌv mɛn ɔr hiː kɔlz ðɛm dɝɛktli æz hiː kɔld ðə prɑːfəts ənd əpɔsəlz


paul declares that the false apostles were called or sent neither by men nor by man

pɔl dɪklɛrz ðæt ðə fɔls əpɔsəlz wɝː kɔld ɔr sɛnt niːðɝ baɪ mɛn nɔr baɪ mæn


the most they could claim is that they were sent by others

ðə moʊst ðeɪ kʊd kleɪm ɪz ðæt ðeɪ wɝː sɛnt baɪ ʌðɝz


he mentions the apostles first because they were appointed directly by god

hiː mɛnʃənz ðə əpɔsəlz fɝːst bɪkɔz ðeɪ wɝː əpɔɪntəd dɝɛktli baɪ gɑːd


the call is not to be taken lightly


for a person to possess knowledge is not enough

fɔr ə pɝːsən tuː pəzɛs nɑːlədʒ ɪz nɑːt ɪnʌf


it spoils one's best work


when i was a young man i thought paul was making too much of his call

wɛn aɪ wɑːz ə jʌŋ mæn aɪ θɔt pɔl wɑːz meɪkɪŋ tuː mʌtʃ ʌv hɪz kɔl


i did not then realize the importance of the ministry

aɪ dɪd nɑːt ðɛn riːəlaɪz ðə ɪmpɔrtəns ʌv ðə mɪnəstri


i knew nothing of the doctrine of faith because we were taught sophistry instead of certainty and nobody understood spiritual boasting

aɪ nuː nʌθɪŋ ʌv ðə dɑːktrən ʌv feɪθ bɪkɔz wiː wɝː tɔt sɑʊfɪstri ɪnstɛd ʌv sɝːtənti ənd noʊbɑːdiː əndɝstʊd spɪrɪtʃuːəl boʊstɪŋ


this is no sinful pride it is holy pride

ðɪs ɪz noʊ sɪnfəl praɪd ɪt ɪz hoʊli praɪd


and god the father who raised him from the dead

ənd gɑːd ðə fɑːðɝ huː reɪzd hɪm frʌm ðə dɛd


the clause seems superfluous on first sight


these perverters of the righteousness of christ resist the father and the son and the works of them both

ðiːz pɝvɝːtɝz ʌv ðə raɪtʃəsnəs ʌv kraɪst rɪzɪst ðə fɑːðɝ ənd ðə sʌn ənd ðə wɝːks ʌv ðɛm boʊθ


in this whole epistle paul treats of the resurrection of christ

ɪn ðɪs hoʊl ɪpɪsəl pɔl triːts ʌv ðə rɛzɝɛkʃən ʌv kraɪst


by his resurrection christ won the victory over law sin flesh world devil death hell and every evil

baɪ hɪz rɛzɝɛkʃən kraɪst wʌn ðə vɪktəri oʊvɝ lɔ sɪn flɛʃ wɝːld dɛvəl dɛθ hɛl ənd ɛvɝi iːvəl


verse two


and all the brethren which are with me

ənd ɔl ðə brɛðrən wɪtʃ ɑːr wɪð miː


this should go far in shutting the mouths of the false apostles

ðɪs ʃʊd goʊ fɑːr ɪn ʃʌtɪŋ ðə maʊðz ʌv ðə fɔls əpɔsəlz


although the brethren with me are not apostles like myself yet they are all of one mind with me think write and teach as i do

ɔlðoʊ ðə brɛðrən wɪð miː ɑːr nɑːt əpɔsəlz laɪk maɪsɛlf jɛt ðeɪ ɑːr ɔl ʌv wʌn maɪnd wɪð miː θɪŋk raɪt ənd tiːtʃ æz aɪ duː


they do not go where the enemies of the gospel predominate they go where the christians are

ðeɪ duː nɑːt goʊ wɛr ðə ɛnəmiːz ʌv ðə gɑːspəl prɪdɑːməneɪt ðeɪ goʊ wɛr ðə krɪstʃənz ɑːr


why do they not invade the catholic provinces and preach their doctrine to godless princes bishops and doctors as we have done by the help of god

waɪ duː ðeɪ nɑːt ɪnveɪd ðə kæθlɪk prɑːvənsəz ənd priːtʃ ðɛr dɑːktrən tuː gɑːdləs prɪnsəz bɪʃəps ənd dɑːktɝz æz wiː hæv dʌn baɪ ðə hɛlp ʌv gɑːd


we look for that reward which eye hath not seen nor ear heard neither hath entered into the heart of man

not all the galatians had become perverted


these means cannot be contaminated


they remain divine regardless of men's opinion

ðeɪ rɪmeɪn dɪvaɪn rəgɑːrdləs ʌv mɛnz əpɪnjən


wherever the means of grace are found there is the holy church even though antichrist reigns there

wɛrɛvɝ ðə miːnz ʌv greɪs ɑːr faʊnd ðɛr ɪz ðə hoʊli tʃɝːtʃ iːvɪn ðoʊ æntaɪkrɪst reɪnz ðɛr


so much for the title of the epistle now follows the greeting of the apostle verse three

soʊ mʌtʃ fɔr ðə taɪtəl ʌv ðə ɪpɪsəl naʊ fɑːloʊz ðə griːtɪŋ ʌv ðə əpɔsəl vɝːs θriː


grace be to you and peace from god the father and from our lord jesus christ

greɪs biː tuː juː ənd piːs frʌm gɑːd ðə fɑːðɝ ənd frʌm aʊɝ lɔrd dʒiːzəs kraɪst


the terms of grace and peace are common terms with paul and are now pretty well understood

ðə tɝːmz ʌv greɪs ənd piːs ɑːr kɑːmən tɝːmz wɪð pɔl ənd ɑːr naʊ prɪti wɛl əndɝstʊd


the greeting of the apostle is refreshing

ðə griːtɪŋ ʌv ðə əpɔsəl ɪz rɪfrɛʃɪŋ


grace involves the remission of sins peace and a happy conscience

greɪs ɪnvɑːlvz ðə riːmɪʃən ʌv sɪnz piːs ənd ə hæpi kɑːnʃəns


the world brands this a pernicious doctrine


experience proves this


however the grace and peace of god will


men should not speculate about the nature of god

mɛn ʃʊd nɑːt spɛkjəleɪt əbaʊt ðə neɪtʃɝ ʌv gɑːd


was it not enough to say from god the father

wɑːz ɪt nɑːt ɪnʌf tuː seɪ frʌm gɑːd ðə fɑːðɝ


to do so is to lose god altogether because god becomes intolerable when we seek to measure and to comprehend his infinite majesty
