She whines for the world's notice instead of denouncing its very obvious sins.

She is too much in this world, and too little in the other.

She is too careful not to offend Dives, and too self-conscious to be seen openly in the company of Lazarus.

It is impossible not to think that a coarse world has shaken her faith in Christian virtue.

She clings to her traditions and her doctrines, but she has lost the vigorous faith in spiritual life which gave beauty to those traditions and has ceased to set that example of entire self-sacrifice which rendered her doctrines less difficult of interpretation by the instructed.
