To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Some had been for years quiet but reverent worshippers ; performing to the letter such duties as they deemed to be required of them by religion and society. Some were but briefly connected with the parish. Others, who received the rudi- ments of religious education in this Church, afterward carried out their les- . Sons in the different denominations into which the growing town came to be divided. But more than one instance in the present festival went to prove that filial regard for the old ch...urch is not inconsistent with loyal allegiance to newer bonds any more than filial affection for parents weakens the closer relations of husband and wife. All the portraits were of men and women whose earthly life is ended, while the fioor of the chapel was crowded at such times as it was open, with successive throngs of their descendants or successors ; so that there was seen what may not improperly be called a great, and in no small degree a liomo- genous, congregation, composed of many generations all inspired with life ; for if the painted lips were silent, those who listened to the animated and thoughtful conversation of the living, could not but recognize that it faith- fully interpreted what those lips would have uttered had they, by some mirac'e, been unsealed.
