ther example is, "Only the star dazzles; the planet has a faint, moon-like ray" (adversative). [Sidenote: _Study the thought._] 386. The one point that will give trouble is the variable use of some connectives; as _but_, _for_, _yet_, _while_ (_whilst_), _however_, _whereas_, etc. Some of these are now conjunctions, now adverbs or prepositions; others sometimes cooerdinate, sometimes subordinate conjunctions. The student must watch _the logical connection_ of the members of the sentence, and not the form of the connective. Exercise. Of the following illustrative sentences, tell which are compound, and which complex:-- 1. Speak your latent conviction, and it shall be the universal sense; for the inmost in due time becomes the outmost. 2. I no longer wish to meet a good I do not earn, for example, to find a pot of buried gold. 3. Your goodness must have some edge to it--else it is none. 4. Man does not stand in awe of man, nor is his genius admonished to stay at home, but it goes abroad to beg a cup of water of the urns of other men. 5. A man cannot speak but he judges himself. 6. In your metaphysics you have denied personality to the Deity, yet when the devout motions of the soul come, yield to them heart and life. 7. I thought that it was a Sunday morning in May; that it was Easter Sunday, and as yet very early in the morning. 8. We denote the primary wisdom as intuition, whilst all later teachings are tuitions. 9. Whilst the world is thus dual, so is every one of its parts. 10. They measure the esteem of each other by what each has, and not by what each is. 11. For everything you have missed, you have gained something else; and for everything you gain, you lose something. 12. I sometimes seemed to have lived for seventy or one hundred years in one night; nay, I sometimes had feelings representative of a millennium, passed in that time, or, however, of a duration far beyond the limits of experience. 13. However some may think him wanting in zeal, the most fanatical can find no taint of apostasy in any measure of his. 14. In this manner, from a happy yet often pensive child, he grew up to be a mild, quiet, unobtrusive boy, and sun-browned with labor in the fields, but with more intelligence than is seen in many lads from the schools. OUTLINE FOR ANALYZING COMPOUND SENTENCES. 387. (i) Separate it into its main members. (2) Analyze each complex member as in Sec. 38
