Emphasis Preaching Journal

In the Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin, that old statesman tells of living in a boarding house in England in his younger years. There was another boarder, a single woman of seventy, who lived up in the garret. As a young woman, she had lived in a convent somewhere in Europe and had intended to become a nun, but for some reason, the country did not agree with her, and she returned to England. But she vowed to live as much like a nun as she could.
