Weighed In The Balance A Novel PDF Download

Excerpt from Weighed in the Balance Upon the mime stage the villain is seldom permitted to give a version of bis misdeeds: in the stern drama of life be is rarely endowed with sufficient hardihood. But now that my band is upon the curtain which shrouds the unknown I yearn to trace each action to its impulse and write the history of the soul which is lost that I may weigh my life as in a balance. And more than this. Son of my heart, at unguarded moments in our friendly intercourse I have expressed opinions too eagerly welcomed by you. With the active intelligence of well-trained youth you have longed to taste the fruit of the tree, and gain knowledge which brings doubt and despair. Since no human power can discern what is beyond the dread curtain, remember that faith in the unseen, acting upon the fears of mankind, still remains the most potent influence for their moral elevation.
