From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Sensation \Sen*sa"tion\, n. [Cf. F. sensation. See {Sensate}.]       1. (Physiol.) An impression, or the consciousness of an             impression, made upon the central nervous organ, through             the medium of a sensory or afferent nerve or one of the             organs of sense; a feeling, or state of consciousness,             whether agreeable or disagreeable, produced either by an             external object (stimulus), or by some change in the             internal state of the body.                         Perception is only a special kind of knowledge, and                      sensation a special kind of feeling. . . . Knowledge                      and feeling, perception and sensation, though always                      coexistent, are always in the inverse ratio of each                      other.                                                --Sir W.                                                                               Hamilton.          2. A purely spiritual or psychical affection; agreeable or             disagreeable feelings occasioned by objects that are not             corporeal or material.          3. A state of excited interest or feeling, or that which             causes it.                         The sensation caused by the appearance of that work                      is still remembered by many.               --Brougham.          Syn: Perception.          Usage: {Sensation}, {Perseption}. The distinction between                   these words, when used in mental philosophy, may be                   thus stated; if I simply smell a rose, I have a                   sensation; if I refer that smell to the external                   object which occasioned it, I have a perception. Thus,                   the former is mere feeling, without the idea of an                   object; the latter is the mind's apprehension of some                   external object as occasioning that feeling.                   [bd]Sensation properly expresses that change in the                   state of the mind which is produced by an impression                   upon an organ of sense (of which change we can                   conceive the mind to be conscious, without any                   knowledge of external objects). Perception, on the                   other hand, expresses the knowledge or the intimations                   we obtain by means of our sensations concerning the                   qualities of matter, and consequently involves, in                   every instance, the notion of externality, or outness,                   which it is necessary to exclude in order to seize the                   precise import of the word sensation.[b8] --Fleming.

Swan \Swan\, n. [AS. swan; akin to D. zwaan, OHG. swan, G.       schwan, Icel. svanr, Sw. svan, Dan. svane; and perhaps to E.       sound something audible.]       1. (Zo[94]l.) Any one of numerous species of large aquatic             birds belonging to {Cygnus}, {Olor}, and allied genera of             the subfamily {Cygnin[91]}. They have a large and strong             beak and a long neck, and are noted for their graceful             movements when swimming. Most of the northern species are             white. In literature the swan was fabled to sing a             melodious song, especially at the time of its death.          Note: The European white, or mute, swan ({Cygnus gibbus}),                which is most commonly domesticated, bends its neck in                an S-shaped curve. The whistling, or trumpeting, swans                of the genus {Olor} do not bend the neck in an S-shaped                curve, and are noted for their loud and sonorous cry,                due to complex convolutions of the windpipe. To this                genus belong the European whooper, or whistling swan                ({Olor cygnus}), the American whistling swan ({O.                Columbianus}), and the trumpeter swan ({O.                buccinator}). The Australian black swan ({Chenopis                atrata}) is dull black with white on the wings, and has                the bill carmine, crossed with a white band. It is a                very graceful species and is often domesticated. The                South American black-necked swan ({Sthenelides                melancorypha}) is a very beautiful and graceful                species, entirely white, except the head and neck,                which are dark velvety seal-brown. Its bill has a                double bright rose-colored knob.          2. Fig.: An appellation for a sweet singer, or a poet noted             for grace and melody; as Shakespeare is called the swan of             Avon.          3. (Astron.)

The common                American, or chimney, swift ({Ch[91]tura pelagica}) has                sharp rigid tips to the tail feathers. It attaches its                nest to the inner walls of chimneys, and is called also                {chimney swallow}. The Australian swift ({Ch[91]tura                caudacuta}) also has sharp naked tips to the tail                quills. The European Alpine swift ({Cypselus melba}) is                whitish beneath, with a white band across the breast.                The common Indian swift is {Cypselus affinis}. See also                {Palm swift}, under {Palm}, and {Tree swift}, under                {Tree}.          3. (Zo[94]l.) Any one of several species of lizards, as the             pine lizard.          4. (Zo[94]l.) The ghost moth. See under {Ghost}.          5. [Cf. {Swivel}.] A reel, or turning instrument, for winding             yarn, thread, etc.; -- used chiefly in the plural.          6. The main card cylinder of a flax-carding machine.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sanctification       involves more than a mere moral reformation of character,       brought about by the power of the truth: it is the work of the       Holy Spirit bringing the whole nature more and more under the       influences of the new gracious principles implanted in the soul       in regeneration. In other words, sanctification is the carrying       on to perfection the work begun in regeneration, and it extends       to the whole man (Rom. 6:13; 2 Cor. 4:6; Col. 3:10; 1 John 4:7;       1 Cor. 6:19). It is the special office of the Holy Spirit in the       plan of redemption to carry on this work (1 Cor. 6:11; 2 Thess.       2:13). Faith is instrumental in securing sanctification,       inasmuch as it (1) secures union to Christ (Gal. 2:20), and (2)       brings the believer into living contact with the truth, whereby       he is led to yield obedience "to the commands, trembling at the       threatenings, and embracing the promises of God for this life       and that which is to come."                Perfect sanctification is not attainable in this life (1 Kings       8:46; Prov. 20:9; Eccl. 7:20; James 3:2; 1 John 1:8). See Paul's       account of himself in Rom. 7:14-25; Phil. 3:12-14; and 1 Tim.       1:15; also the confessions of David (Ps. 19:12, 13; 51), of       Moses (90:8), of Job (42:5, 6), and of Daniel (9:3-20). "The       more holy a man is, the more humble, self-renouncing,       self-abhorring, and the more sensitive to every sin he becomes,       and the more closely he clings to Christ. The moral       imperfections which cling to him he feels to be sins, which he       laments and strives to overcome. Believers find that their life       is a constant warfare, and they need to take the kingdom of       heaven by storm, and watch while they pray. They are always       subject to the constant chastisement of their Father's loving       hand, which can only be designed to correct their imperfections       and to confirm their graces. And it has been notoriously the       fact that the best Christians have been those who have been the       least prone to claim the attainment of perfection for       themselves.", Hodge's Outlines.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Sanctuary       denotes, (1) the Holy Land (Ex. 15:17; comp. Ps. 114:2); (2) the       temple (1 Chr. 22:19; 2 Chr. 29:21); (3) the tabernacle (Ex.       25:8; Lev. 12:4; 21:12); (4) the holy place, the place of the       Presence (Gr. hieron, the temple-house; not the _naos_, which is       the temple area, with its courts and porches), Lev. 4:6; Eph.       2:21, R.V., marg.; (5) God's holy habitation in heaven (Ps.       102:19). In the final state there is properly "no sanctuary"       (Rev. 21:22), for God and the Lamb "are the sanctuary" (R.V.,       "temple"). All is there hallowed by the Divine Presence; all is       sancturary.
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Skin, Coats made of       (Gen. 3:21). Skins of rams and badgers were used as a covering       for the tabernacle (Ex. 25:5; Num. 4:8-14).
