. '.' ;.,. DANGER IN 'rHE DARK. 151 can bestow! The giddy' cup of pleasure exhllsrates for a time - but if to sip it we must incur ete~~l sorrow,can we think of putting it to our lips 1 0, no; let us dash it from us, and consent to a life of obscurity, sorrow, and sighing, that we may gain hea-ven '!thereafter." , '( "Arabella, with what impatience," said Anna Maria, "have we thus far endured this imprisonment! we have felt it to be intolerable; at best we here render but an unwilling obedience." "Alas! I know we have been recreant, and guilty of murmuring against providence; but forced obedience, is better than to disobey." " I 'm not so sure of that; true, a forced obedience to civil law, may be better for the community than disobedience; but at the same time, those who obey the commands of law through sheer constraint, and only to avoid the penalty, deserve no praise; there is surely nothing meritorious in such obedience." "Be not deceived, Maria, we have taken voluntarily these weighty vows upon us, and we must learn to endure the life they impose. Were every day of our life on earth full of sunshine, and replete with thrilling pleasures, when past, it would be but a golden dream, a gilded vision I and what would the splendid enchantment be worth, when succeeded by an unending night; sunless, moonless, starless night I Better far, our whole livesbe a continued scene of darkness,poverty, and pain, if thereby we escapeperdition."
152 DANGER IN THE DARK. "But why should such a life conduce to our salvation ~ that is the question." " The reason, we cannot give, but divinely commissioned priests teach us, that voluntary suffering is the most acceptable service in the sig~t of God that mortals can render." "So taught not the Saviour of the world;" remarked Isadora, "but rather the doing of good to our fellow-beings, visiting the fatherless and widows in their afflictions, clothing the naked, feeding the hungry, visiting the imprisoned, and ever delighting to administer to the poor and needy. 'As oft' said the blessed Redeemer, 'as ye did it unto one of these, ye did it unto me.' Unhappy souls I " she continued, gazing upon them with a look that betokened deep emotion of heart, while her eyes filled with glistening tears, "how to feel for you, well do I know: the cruel chains that bind your faculties, once fettered mine; but alas! how difficult to strike from the soul the m nacles of superstition! Oh why should the enjoyment of earthly blessings, be thought incompatible with a life of holiness! No longer, I entreat yon, turn away from the innocent pleasures which your pure, warm hearts 80 much crave; fear not forfeiting heaven by making yourselves happy. If the pleasures of sense, as priests pretend, corrupt the soul and lead to perdition, why is it that such austerity as you are required to practice, is not enjoined upon all '! Why is not the monastic life necessary to save other Oath-
