Excerpt from The Twin Sisters: A Tale for YouthThe following work is intended to display the benefits of devotion, which are illustrated 'in the lives of two very young persons, whose pursuits were not the vanities Of the world, but the true and lasting pleasures of religion, and time well spent.There are few, even of those who do not study to live by its rules, that are not Willing to acknowledge the efficacy of religion in the hour of death, or on a bed of sickness, though they are inclined to put Off all thoughts of it till that awful period. But in this short history will be seen, (and the truth of the illustration may be perceived by general Observation, ) that if the duties of a Christian profession are not attended to in our lives, its support and consolations in those trying scenes cannot be felt either by the dying or their surviving friends.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
