A WOMAN’S STORY—FERVID, GLOWING, PASSIONATE AND REPENTANT.
WHO CARES?
EPISODES IN THE LIFE OF MARY CAMPBELL.
FACTS, NOT FANCIES.
BY MRS. HARRIET N. K. GOFF.
WITH AN INTRODUCTION
BY REV. DR. THEODORE L. CUYLER.
_“Who Cares?” is a book which every one should read, especially every
one who desires to promote social purity. It is the autobiography of a
Magdalen, the casting out of whose devils was clearly followed by the
inbreathing of the Divine Spirit which gives the healed the power to
become the healer. Mary Campbell, like the Mary Magdalen of Scripture,
became possessed of seven times the blessed spirit of ministration which
most people have after the seven devils were cast out of her. She was a
child of inharmonious parentage—of a cultured though vicious and cruel
father, and an ignorant and passionate mother. No love in her home, but
gross cruelty and hardship abounded, rendered yet more unendurable by
outcroppings of refinement inherited from remote ancestry. Begotten, as
she and her brother and sisters were, of depraved desires only, and thus
tainted in the substratum of their natures, reared without love, though
hungering for it, and in poverty that was utter destitution of all that
either soul, body, or heart could crave, the sound sense and strength of
mind and native ability evinced in Mary’s narrative prove clearly that
to her fell a large portion of the heritage of her paternal grandmother,
and that her reformation was deep and real. The story was written while
Death glared into the very face of the poor girl whose secret wore her
life out; indeed, it was finished almost with her expiring breath. Hers
was a soul at one with its Maker, and terribly alive to the miseries of
those in the horrible pit whence she was rescued. The “great cry of her
soul” commends the book to every lover of humanity, every father,
mother, mistress, young man and young woman, the influential and the
friendless, the Christian and the Christless, the law-maker and the
law-breaker, and each will find a lesson there, which will “make for
good.” The reader is held spellbound from the first page to the last,
and cannot close the volume without knowing himself possessed of new
thoughts, clearer views, higher aims, better understanding and broader
charity to aid in answering the question: “Who Cares?” Poor Mary, of
blessed memory now! “Poor Kate” and “Poor little Maggie!” What else
could have been expected? The Woman’s Christian Temperance Unions should
