To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Open as the day to friends and acquaintance, whoever beheld her face was aware of her thoughts; whoever witnessed her actions read her heart; and could she have laid open the very ulterior of her mind, it is my belief that no new discovery would have been made by such revelation, unless it were a greater depth of faith, and piety, and love, than even her best friends had imputed to her. The three most eminent of the Christian graces were constituent elements of her character humi- lity, gentlen...ess, charity. Duty was her meat and her drink; she had no ambition beyond the con- sciousness of well-doing, and knew no higher satis- faction than the secret approbation of the heart. Without pretension and without enthusiasm, she was thoroughly religious in character and life. Her religion was eminently practical, and better known by its fruits than by its dogmas or emotions. It was that religion which acts as a restraint upon every evil propensity and an incentive to every good one ; which makes faithful in every duty, patient in every trial, honest in all dealings, prompt in every office of love ; that religion which serves God and man with a willing, constant and devoted service ; that religion which is best to live by and best to die by, which alone can make living useful and dying blest.
