He was asked to preach, one day.
The little church was full.

Among the people present were the late Dr.
J.G.Holland, the late Mr.Seymour of the 'New York Times,' Mr.Page, the philanthropist and temperance advocate, and, I think, Senator Frye, of Maine.

The marvelous letter did its wonted work; all the people were moved, all the people wept; the tears flowed in a steady stream down Dr.
Holland's cheeks, and nearly the same can be said with regard to all who were there.

Mr.Page was so full of enthusiasm over the letter that he said he would not rest until he made pilgrimage to that prison, and had speech with the man who had been able to inspire a fellow-unfortunate to write so priceless a tract.
Ah, that unlucky Page!--and another man.

If they had only been in Jericho, that letter would have rung through the world and stirred all the hearts of all the nations for a thousand years to come, and nobody might ever have found out that it was the confoundedest, brazenest, ingeniousest piece of fraud and humbuggery that was ever concocted to fool poor confiding mortals with! The letter was a pure swindle, and that is the truth.
