To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Hereour affections and our powers are acted upon for good or for evil. Grief strengthens our faith and elevates our thoughts; joy quickensour gratitude, our obedience, and our trust; temptation forms in us anexalted and spontaneous virtue, or enfeebles and enslaves us. Chiefly, then, should we be solicitous about character, the plot of our life;and in this solicitude our earthly existence rises to the highestimportance. Let us, then, feel that our mortal career is not vague and aimless. Letus r...ealize that each life is a special history. The poorest, the mostobscure, has such a history; and although it may be unnoticed by men, angels regard it with interest. The merchant, every day, in the dust, and heat, and busy maze of traffic, unfolds a history. The beggar by theway-side, it may be, outrivals kings in the grandeur and magnitude ofhis history. In sainted homes, --in narrow nooks of life, --in the secretheart of love, and prayer, and patience, --many a tale is told whichGod alone sees, and which he approves.
