"The seat of the scornful"

Annie M. Knott

There are a good many phases of human thought which are regarded with much complacency by mortals, but which are nevertheless harmful to those who entertain them, and ofttimes disturbing to others who may be influenced by them.

Assurance of Immortality

John B. Willis

How pitifully desolate the mentality in which the uplook and outreach of the nobler self has been so mocked, the aspirations so snuffed out by the disheartenings of earthly experience as to be frightened into utter silence, and the thought of death as effecting individual annihilation become the sole remaining comfort !
