During his short, holy life, Rev. Duncan Reilly offered himself as a victim soul and, because of his love of poetic verse, he produced a treasure trove of remarkable writings that spanned a broad emotional range, from the amusements of this world to deep reflections on the next. However, his memorable words remained boxed for half a century after his death, even as his last surviving sister remained determined to see that his unique twist of wisdom and wit would some day enlighten and amuse a new generation of readers. This book is the accomplishment of her undying goal.
