To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The difficulties which have beset the chaplain of the Penitentiary in providing during the year for the moral wants of the prisoners have been of no ordinary character. Out of the 627 brought under his notice, 365 as has already been stated were not imprisoned beyond 3 months, and 530 were over 20 years of age. When in the hght of these facts the strength of bad habits and evil thoughts deepened bj' long in- dulgence is considered, not many cases of decided reformation could have been reasonabl...y anticipated. They have attended divine service in the chapel regularly on each successive Sun- day morning during the year unless prevented by sickness; and been permitted during the remaining portions of that day, not only to read — such as were able — suitable books and tracts, with which their cells were supplied, but also to converse familiarly with the chaplain on appropriate topics and listen to his instruction. Many of them enjoyed these advantages for the first time. If a few only have been thoroughly re- formed it is to be hoped that many have been more or less profited.
