What are amorphas?  Why describe thus this territory?  Who were Ishmael’s children?  Why bring out clearly the many dangers to be encountered here?  What is Fata Morgana?  Who was the anchorite monk?  Why taciturn?  How could they follow his footsteps?  Who were they?  How were traces of sorrow and patience visible?  Were they unusually touched by the Shawnee’s story?  Why?  Was it natural for Evangeline and the Shawnee to be drawn together?  What common bond had they?  What was the effect of Evangeline’s story?  Were the Shawnee’s stories appropriate?  Were they comforting or disheartening?  What was the snake that crept into Evangeline’s thoughts?  Was it lasting?  What would naturally dispell it?  Are people more brave at night or in the morning?  More cheerful when?  Why?

At the Mission.  Waiting.

Lesson XXIII, Lines 1165-1205.

Why Black Robe Chief?  Why expect good tidings at the Mission?  What is a rural chapel?  What were vespers and sussuras?  What was the cause of the priest’s pleasure?  Look up Jesuit work in North America.  Why were the priest’s words like snow flakes to Evangeline?  How did Evangeline receive the news?  Why should she desire to remain at the Mission rather than return to Basil’s home?  Was there an unselfish purpose in her remaining?

A Long Search.  Age.

Lesson XXIV, Lines 1206-1291.

How long did Evangeline remain at the Mission?  What old custom referred to in lines 1212-1214?  What do you know of old husking bees?  Who urged patience?  The compass flower illustrates what truth?  Why is life in a true sense pathless and limitless?  What quality is suggested by the gay, luxuriant flower?  By the humble plant?  Evangeline leaves the Mission to seek Gabriel where?  Result?  How did she spend the following years?  Would you think from the text here her life was wholly given to the thought of Gabriel and to search for him?  Why?  What was the dawn of another life?

SEC.  V.

Devotion.

Lesson XXV, Lines 1252-1297.

Why was Penn an apostle?  What city did he found?  How do the streets echo the names of the forest?  Who are the Dryads?  Why did she feel at home here?  Does she finally give up hope?  Explain lines 1270-1275.  What made the world look bright to her?  Does one’s state of mind determine to a large extent how the world looks?  Does the world look the same at night and in the morning?  When are we most likely to see it as it is?  Was Gabriel forgotten?  What were the lessons her life had taught her?  What became of her love?  How did she act practically upon her feeling?  What was the word or the thing that drew her?  She shows what quality 1291-1293?  What is a Sister of Mercy?  Why had she not joined the Order before?  Had she in a true sense been a sister of mercy before joining the Order?  Do you think she regretted the long struggle that fitted her so well for this work?
