Question

character sketch of bishop brooks

Answer 1

During her lifetime, Helen won sympathy and guidance of people of various tastes and disposition. While people such as Miss Sullivan, Mr. Anagnos, Mr. Gilman and Dr. Graham Bell imparted to her the knowledge of worldly things, Bishop Brooks enlightened her mind with spiritual light. He taught her about God, religion and her duty towards God and her fellow human beings. He loved Helen and she would sit on his knees and Miss Sullivan spelled into her hand his beautiful words about God and the spiritual world. He taught Helen:

“There is one universal religion- the religion of love. Love your heavenly father with your whole heart and soul, love every child of God as much as you can…………”

He, thus, taught her two great ideas- the essence of all divine religions: First, oneness of God. Second, universal brotherhood. These two objects can be achieved through love. He emphatically told her that if she believed in these two ideals, all the dark clouds of doubts and gloom would wither way. He impressed Helen with his noble ideas for which she remained grateful to him throughout her life.
