To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was at home in the bosom of her family and surrounded by her domestics, that the activity of her piety mainly revealed itself. She was, if the expression may be allowed, the favorite child of her father. He said '' he could not speak to Anne, her heart was so tender." This tenderness of heart, God sanctified to his own use, for the pro- motion of her own happiness and that of those around her. The rough contact of the world did not harden it. It was regulated and controlled, not suppressed a...nd destroyed. Feeling and ac- 16 tion with her were inseparable. " She opened her mouth with wisdom, and in her tongue was the law of kindness.'' A spirit of active piety breathed through her life in the family. She took the liveliest interest in the spiritual welfare of its members, and as well, by her own example, as by her precepts and exhortations, she endeavored to promote religion in each, and to sustain every ar- rangement and regulation necessary to that end. If she sought distinction for her family, it was not the distinction of wealth, nor of honorable connec- tions with the world, nor of intellectual greatness, but it was that highest style of distinction on earth, the distinction of justice, mercy and humble walking with God.
