Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Two Thousand Years in Eternity
I suffered day and night, almost without intermission, ren dered it impossible for me to' compose my mind enough to present a petition in my behalf in a manner sufficiently ih telligent to satisfy the philosophic reasonmg of my own heart, and I knew that delirium was threatening, which would certainly seal up my eternal destiny. My most ordinary ih telligence revolted at ritualism, and hence I persistently re fused the urgent requests of the'poor, honest-hearted Sister of Charity (who, at stated periods, came to m1n1ster to my wants) to call in the priest5, 'although to satisfy her heart, whichi really desired, knowing that mine could never be, I did repeat after her the lifeless, formal prayer to the Virgin Mary which she had been taught, and rehearsed to me as she adjusted the heated appliances to keep up the temperature of my body, or tried to smooth my thorny pillow. May'the everlasting Father shelter her in His arms, and protect her from all trouble and future sorrow. But oh, how worthless and lifeless is form and ceremony to a thinking mind!
