Have I told you of the white light, so wonderful in its intensity? Occasionally, it fills the church, but more frequently descends upon individuals. Indeed, the seeking, prayerful soul is recognised in this way, though personally unknown to me. This ineffable light always comes with more or less intensity in response to sincere prayer, and I doubt not is the means by which comfort and strength are borne in upon the soul. Light! how freighted with meaning is that word—purifying, strengthening, quickening, illuminating!—Katherine B. Caine, Light on the Hidden Way, 1886, Ticknor and Company, Boston, 27-8
