Linpell, the Pdrsou.-Before
L entered the priesthood 1 spent
many months in questioning my
motives. L had a long. dark
time, but l could see one thing
clearly, and / shaped my whole
life to it. l resolved I would
always fearlessly say what l

land you in the workhouse. My
dear Linnell, you aren't a bah y;
you're an educated man. Ope n
your eyes! Look at the world
around you, the world we've
got to live in, the world we've
got to make our bread and
cheese in! Look at society.
What is it? An organized n.y.
pocrisy anywhere! We all live
by taking ia each others dirty
linen, and pretending to wash
it; by cashing each others dirty
lies and shams, and passing
them on! Civilization means
rottenness, when you get to the
core ofuit! It's rotten every
where! Aud L fancy it's rather
more rotten in this rotten little
hole than anywhere else. Lin

the history of every family in
