Project Gutenberg 2004-06-01 Public domain in the USA. 178 MacDonald, George 1824 1905 Thomas Wingfold, Curate V2 Charles Franks, Charles Aldarondo, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team "Thomas Wingfold, Curate V2" by George MacDonald is a novel that likely falls within the mid-19th century literary period. The story revolves around Thomas Wingfold, a curate who grapples with profound themes of faith, morality, and the complexities of human life. The narrative introduces various characters, including the thoughtful and somewhat envious Rachel, and her uncle Polwarth, who provides wisdom on the nature of suffering and contentment in God's will. At the start of the novel, we see Rachel deeply reflecting on her condition in contrast to Miss Lingard, a beautifully strong woman who rides gracefully. Through a warm exchange with her uncle, Rachel reveals her inner struggles with her physical deformities while displaying an acceptance rooted in faith. The opening chapters set the stage for Wingfold's eventual encounters with both physical and spiritual challenges, and his pursuit of truth and honesty in his calling as a curate. Polwarth's subsequent discussion with Wingfold offers insights into the nature of inspiration and the essence of genuine Christianity, exploring not just the doctrines, but the vital relationships between individuals, their circumstances, and the divine.
