"The Century Illustrated Monthly Magazine, July, 1913" by Various is a collection of writings capturing early 20th-century life.

It starts with "How Beelzebub Came to the Convent" by Ethel Watts Mumford, about Sister Eulalia, a blind nun in a far-off Guatemalan convent. As she goes about her life, the Mother Superior's warning about temptation stirs things up. The sudden arrival of Rev. Dr. Joel McBean, who wants to take pictures of the nuns, adds to the mix, creating a sense of innocence, curiosity, and growing stress among the nuns and starts with a sense of mystery, touching on faith, temptation, and trying to stay spiritual when faced with worldly distractions.
