We make some brief extracts from this document which illustrates, still more plainly than any of the letters, the fact that the interior pressure to which he was subjected had for its uniform tendency and result his vivid realization of the Incarnation of God in Jesus Christ.

It is written in a fine, close hand on a sheet of letter-paper, which it entirely covers, and bears date January 10, 1843: "Could I but reveal myself unto myself! What shall I say?
Is life dear to me?
No.

Are my friends dear to me?
I could suffer and die for them, if need were, but yet I have none of the old attachment for them.

I would clasp all to my heart, love all for their humanity, but not as relatives or individuals.
