thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?"--SCOTT, ALGER, BRUCE, AND OTHERS: _Job_, xi, 7 and 8. "Where, where, for shelter shall the wicked fly, When consternation turns the good man pale?"--_Young_. UNDER RULE II.--OF QUESTIONS UNITED. "Who knows what resources are in store, and what the power of God may do for thee?"--STERNE: _Enfield's Speaker_, p. 307. "God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?"--SCOTT'S BIBLE, ALGER'S, FRIENDS', BRUCE'S, AND OTHERS: _Numb._, xxiii, 19. "Hath the Lord said it, and shall he not do it? hath he spoken it, and shall he not make it good?"--_Lennie and Bullions cor._ "Who calls the council, states the certain day, Who forms the phalanx, and who points the way?"--_Pope's Essay_. UNDER RULE III.--OF QUESTIONS INDIRECT. "To be, or not to be;--that is the question."--_Shak. et al. cor._ "If it be asked, why a pause should any more be necessary to emphasis than to an accent,--or why an emphasis alone will not sufficiently distinguish the members of sentences from each other, without pauses, as accent does words,--the answer is obvious: that we are preacquainted with the sound of words, and cannot mistake them when distinctly pronounced, however rapidly; but we are not preacquainted with the meaning of sentences, which must be pointed out to us by the reader or speaker."--_Sheridan cor._ "Cry, 'By your priesthood, tell me what you are.'"--_Pope cor._ MIXED EXAMPLES CORRECTED. "Who else can he be?"--_Barrett cor._ "Where else can he go?"--_Id._ "In familiar language, _here, there_, and _where_, are used for _hither, thither_, and _whither_."--_N. Butler cor._ "Take, for instance, this sentence: 'Indolence undermines the foundation of virtue.'"--_Hart cor._ "Take, for instance, the sentence before quoted: 'Indolence undermines the foundation of virtue.'"--_Id._ "Under the same head, are considered such sentences as these: '_He_ that _hath ears to hear_, let him hear.'--'_Gad_, a troop shall overcome him.'"--_Id._ "Tenses are certain modifications of the verb, which point out the distinctions of time."--_Bullions cor._ "Calm was the day, and the scene, delightful."--_Id._ See _Murray's Exercises_, p.
