Wieland by charles brockden brown5/15/2023 He survives, but not for long, and his children, Theodore and Clara, divide the property, and make a good life for themselves. As very rarely happens in prayer, one night while praying he spontaneously combusts. He ends up in Pennsylvania where he builds a temple where he can pray. As often happens in evangelizing, he fails. Summary: The elder Wieland was a German worker who, having experienced a religious conversion, conceived a plan to preach to the American Indians. With regard to myself, I have nothing more to fear. To all that is to come I am perfectly indifferent. The sentiment that dictates my feelings is not hope. My state is not destitute of tranquillity. It will exemplify the force of early impressions, and show, the immeasurable evils that flow from an erroneous or imperfect discipline. If it be communicated to the world, it will inculcate the duty of avoiding deceit. Make what use of the tale you shall think proper. I acknowledge your right to be informed of the events that have lately happened in my family. In the midst of my despair, I do not disdain to contribute what little I can to the benefit of mankind. Yet the tale that I am going to tell is not intended as a claim upon your sympathy. Hence your efforts at consolation must necessarily fail. You are a stranger to the depth of my distresses. You know not fully the cause of my sorrows. I feel little reluctance in complying with your request.
