The Valley of Decision, Vol. 1 Synopsis

Excerpt from The Valley of Decision, Vol. 1: A Novel

The February day was closing, and a ray of sunshine, slanting through a slit in the chapel-wall, brought out the vision Of a pale haloed head ?oating against the dusky background Of the chancel like a water-lily on its leaf. The face was that Of the saint of Assisi - a sunken ravaged countenance, lit with an ecstasy of suffering that seemed not so much to re?ect the anguish of the Christ at whose feet the saint knelt as the mute pain of all poor downtrodden folk on earth.
