"For many years this was a familiar title to the readers of church literature. I wish I might present you to the honored possessor of this simple title. Were it in person I would lead you from the little railway station in Lamoni to the west halfway to the Brick Church. Turning aside we would cross a well-kept lawn set about with flowers, shrub, and tree, and approach a many-gabled house with open door and sunny window. The flutter of wings from the well-populated bird palace nearby would announce our coming--and the shadow across her sunlight would attract the attention of Mrs. Walker at work near the vine-draped window. The sound of wing or voice would not be heard for our friend has been deaf for many years." [From the text]
