or defect must be attributed his notorious
weakness toward womankind, his greater
degree OF love for the sistsrhood than
the brotherhood Of his church. Thus
Il WAC that the earlier days OF his
career were marked BY sundry episodes
Of sly gallantry and domestic scandal
which gave him . high reputation as .
clerical "mashsr." and brought him
into trouble before the courts. His rep
