Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Eleventh Annual Address of the Bishop of the Diocese of Illinois, 1862
We may well pardon any depression, and soothe rather than upbraid it. It is no coward heart or timid dreamer, but the manly and devout that may drop a tear on the old page as its tones are changed from the echo on the far past, to the sharp cry of agony in the ear a day of darkness and of gloominess, a day of cloud and thick darkness, as the morning spread upon the mountains.
