Mediaeval and Modern Saints.

For a medieval saint to wash the
feet of IL poor old men was a sancti-
fed act because it cleansed, not the
feet of the old men, but the soul of the
saint. If Saint-of Today were to be
assigned that task, his entire thought
would be the better preparation OF

in favor of so constituting society

postponement on the ground that so
