1845

"Virginia's Rebecca." [Chicago] Christian Advocate and Journal 19.22 (January 8, 1845): 88. Reprinted from the American Messenger. Focuses on her second life as a Christian, for instance, her baptism: "With folded arms before the font she stood, / Encircled by the hushed and reverent air; / Her upward glance was a sweet hymn to God, / Her downward look a soul-suffusing prayer."
