We had strong proof that many spirits professing to have made long progress in the Christian life were not enough subdued by the humbling power of divine grace; but through all, I trust, our heavenly Father dealt with us in mercy, and sent help and wisdom to direct and strengthen his poor tribulated children. On returning to Scarborough, he writes:
Population harried, hungered down, dragged off to perish in Italian Wars; a Country burnt, tribulated, torn to ruin, under the harrow of Fate and ruffian Trenck and Company. Britannic George, rather a dear morsel too, has come much cheaper hitherto. Nothing to speak of, in the cause of Human Liberty. Why Populations suffer for their guilty Kings?
Let us strive to touch lightly the chief summits, here and there, of that intricate, most empty, mournful Business, which was really once a Fact in practical Europe, not the mere nightmare of an Attorney's Dream; and indicate, so far as indispensable, how the young Friedrich, Friedrich's Sister, Father, Mother, were tribulated, almost heart-broken and done to death, by means of it.

"But mebbe conversin' a passel by the way with old Persimmon Sneed is powerful depressin' ter the sperits." Selwyn's face grew grave at the mention of the coroner's jury. "I'm afraid that poor fellow missed something good," he said.
These are the expressions of J.Y.; he adds several sweet expressions of my precious brother's, which show that the solemn change to him was a joyful one: and I do believe his tribulated spirit is now at rest.
