The Turner Mausoleum at St. Cuthbert's Church, Kirkleatham - designed by James Gibbs
Marwood William Turner, born in June 1818 died in Lyon 10th October 1739. By Peter Scheemakers (1691-1770). Turner Mausoleum, St. Cuthbert's Church, Kirkleatham, North Yorkshire - slide scan.
“ This monument was erected by Cholmley Turner, Esqr. , to the memory of his only and dear son, Marwood William Turner,Esq. , whose remains lye here intomb’d , conveyed to Kirkleatham from Lyons in France, where he dyed Oct. 10th, 1739, in the 22nd year of his age, on his travels towards Italy, in pursuit of knowledge and improvement ; to the inexpressible grief of his most affectionate parents — the misfortune of his family, friends, and neighbourhood. Master of good parts, and strict application, "without pride or vanity ; applauded and caressed , yet not susceptive of flattery ; of quick discernment, but not censorious ; had a true manly taste in the finest branches of literature. Poetry and painting were his darling amusements : these imparted a relief to his more serious and important studies ; which endowments were crowned with the most amiable of social virtues : the best of sons, the kindest brother, and the truest friend ; being humane and benevolent, he was an enemy to no man ; being prudent and discreet, wo man ever appeard an enemy to him. Highly esteemed and justly belov'd by the whole circle of his acquaintance, affable and courteous without dissimulation, he lov'd to propagate friend ships and extinguish heats. Being truly pious, not superstitious, he never seemed afraid of death . Sensible of the emptiness of mortal satisfactions, never fond of the pageantry of life. So many blooming virtues immaturely plucked must be a private and a public loss ; but as these virtues cannot dye, nor be disunited from his immortal better half, the happiness to himself,” & c ."

"suppose God brings you to a crisis and you almost endure it, but not completely. He will engineer the crisis again, but this time some of the intensity will be lost. you will have less discernment and more humiliation at having disobeyed. If you continue to grieve His Spirit, there will come a time when that crisis cannot be repeated, because you have totally quenched Him. But if you will go on through the crisis, your life will become a hymn of praise to God. never become attached to anything that continues to hurt God. For you to be free of it, God must be allowed to hurt whatever it may be." --- Oswald Chambers

Mr. H (having talked for a VERY long time about his nanny experiences): So you see, I've served in many a fine household back in Britsylvania. And I daresay my charges have all faired well in their young lives. Above all, I brook no quarter concerning slovenly-ness or ill manners. A firm paw, sir! A firm paw, madam!
Kingsley: The campgrounds kittens are all quite well behaved, I assure you, Mister Higgs.
Millie: Although some of them can be pretty silly...
Mr. H: Well, there's the right and wrong sort of silly, I daresay. Fortunately my powers of discernment in that department never fail. A bit of silly can go a long way in the right paws. As you shall see in due time, and so, when then shall I report for service?
Kingsley: Um...well but first we--
Millie (beaming): Four of our shops are doing a "soft opening" December 12. Would that work for your first day, Mister Higgs?
Clever liars give details, the cleverest don't.

Christian Movie “Knocking at the Door”: The Second Coming of Jesus
Two thousand years ago, the Lord Jesus prophesied, “And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom comes; go you out to meet him” (Matthew 25:6). “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me” (Revelation 3:20). For the last two thousand years, believers in the Lord have been watchful and awaiting the Lord’s knock on the door, so how will He knock on mankind’s door when He returns? In the last days, some people have testified that the Lord Jesus has returned—Almighty God incarnate—and that He is doing the work of judgment in the last days. This news has rocked the entire religious world.
Yang Aiguang, the protagonist of the film, has believed in the Lord for decades and has always been enthusiastically engaged in work and preaching, waiting to welcome the Lord’s return. One day, two people come and knock on the door, tell Yang Aiguang and her husband that the Lord Jesus has returned, and share the words of Almighty God with them. They are deeply moved by Almighty God’s words, but because Yang Aiguang has been subjected to the fallacies, deception, and strictures of the pastors and elders, she throws the witnesses of The Church of Almighty God out of the house. After that, the witnesses knock on their door on many occasions and read the words of Almighty God to Yang Aiguang, bearing witness to God’s work in the last days. During this time, the pastor disrupts and hinders Yang Aiguang time after time, and she continues to waver. However, through hearing the words of Almighty God, Yang Aiguang comes to understand the truth and gains discernment regarding the rumors and fallacies propagated by the pastors and elders. She finally understands how the Lord knocks on people’s doors during His return in the last days, and how we should welcome Him. When the fog clears, Yang Aiguang finally hears the voice of God and acknowledges that Almighty God really is the return of the Lord Jesus!
