DR. McGlynn ala not recant any Of the
doctrines which he had held, but, on
the contrary almost his first public
utteances were in defense OF the holy
cause"-hs crusade against poverty, or
rather against conditions that tolerate
poyerty-of which ne considered him
self and his followers as martyrs. He
obeyed the mandate Of the Church
which placed him over a small congre-
cation instead Of his former one, see
Ing no reason why he should not sub
nit To the discipline Of the church so

nounce what he believed to be the
