and bifl went the theories. The lady succumbed immediately N lost no
time in forgetting hr religion and, allytng herself to the ranks of the "un-

This particular creed vas original ed thirty years ago by a woman who
told that it a sinful to live with m an. She left her husband, gathered
about her a handful Of women who accepted her belief and started religious
community.

they saw them occasionally, but not % speak to- The man whom the woman
of my story married was the first M she ever met n she IA as active if
