The | The ''Religio-Philosophical Journal'' of May 8th, to hand by last mail, contains the following narrative written by Mrs. E. C. Hyde, of Smithfield, Virginia: | ||
As I see an occasional request in your paper for incidents of a spiritual nature, I have decided to send you a somewhat singular one which occurred some years ago at Petersburg, Va. A learned and very worthy gentleman, whom we will call Mr. A., had been educated for the ministry in a certain faith. Some years after entering upon his calling, he formed the acquaintance of a clergyman of another denomination. As their friendship ripened, Mr. A. became convinced that his was a wrong faith, and adopted that of the other. This led to a schism in the family—the wife and children adhering to the original faith, while the husband and father became an object of scorn, though never swerving from his new faith. | As I see an occasional request in your paper for incidents of a spiritual nature, I have decided to send you a somewhat singular one which occurred some years ago at Petersburg, Va.
