Excerpt from The Globe, Vol. 6: A New Review of World-Literature, Society, Religion, Art and Politics My early religious instruction was gathered from the Church of England and its Sunday-school. At the age of twelve a malignant fever, which threatened my life, developed for a while an unusual seriousness of mind; also an unusual knowledge of the Scriptures, which was as much a surprise to me as to my watchers and parents.

Between the ages of fourteen and sixteen I now and then attended the Wesleyan Chapel, and grew to think of religion as something well adapted for poor old women and quasi idiots. At the age of sixteen I was invited to make my home with an uncle and aunt who were childless and who resided in Phila delphia. I accepted, and so was led to the city Of Penn.
