A dense, period voice meditates on prayer and watchfulness, conscience as God in the soul, and the danger of pride, policy, and power in churches. It cites Hill, Taylor, Brainerd, Tillotson, Swift, Longfellow, and Cayler, urging steadfast religious belief, honest effort, and keeping one’s heart open to divine light for hope and moral discipline.
