Imagine, If We Can, Their Condition. Emphatically Children Of Silence, They Are Cut Off From All The Charms And Improvement Of Social Intercourse. The Bright Fields And Waving Groves May Echo The Notes Of The Feathered Songster, Yet They Heed Them Not. The Gleeful Songs Of Child Hood Excite Not A Feeling In Their Imprisoned Minds. The Voice Of Affection, Though Falling From A MotherS Sacred Lips, Excites No Emotions In Their Unimpressed Hearts: Yea! The ThunderS Voice Awakes No Echo In Their Dead Ears. Confined To The Nar Row Horizon Of Vision Their Thoughts Are Dwarfed In The Concep Tion, And Unaided, Struggle In Vain, To Rise Above The Lowest Heathen In Their Efforts To Comprehend The Grand And The Beautiful. To Them No Light Of Truth Has Been Sent; And For Them The Handiwork Of God Has No Power To Excite Mental Activity, Or To Create An Idea Of Moral Responsibility. They Drag The Lengthening Chain Of Life Day By Day, From The Cradle To The Grave. And When Life With Them Is Ended, They Sink With Unuterable Horror Into (As They Regard It) The Abyss Of Annihilation. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAbout The Publisher \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eForgotten Books Publishes Hundreds Of Thousands Of Rare And Classic Books.
