1t was the sum total of her existence, and
enected her avoidance of her former
friends and associates.
Until somehow / have expiated my
wrong must keep myself apart" she
argued to herself. and directed her life
In accordance with the theory.
In this frame OF mind The Woman one
day entered a church of God.
kneeling In her pew she repeated again
and again her plea for forgiveness, her
thought leaping backward as always In
frantic effort to bridge the gulf between
her one-time chastity and her severance
from II.
The choir came out with its hymns of
praise TO the Creator, but The Woman
did not lift her eyes. Lstlessly, miser-
ably, she listened to the service with an
attention sorely divided between her con-
sciousness Of self and the worship OF
God. Throughout the sermon she was
lost In the thought of the impossibility OF
escape from errors once committed, her
eyes still on the floor, her soul equally
low in its groveling.
Gradually The Woman became con-
scious of an outside influence. AS she
sat In her miserable sense of oppression
and confusion a sudden peace stole like
a relieving narcotic over her thought.
In wonder The Woman sat thus as one
hypnotized. vaguely trying to analyze the
influence. She knew II was neither serv-
Ice nor sermon for she had listened TO
neither. And. If anything. the song
praise had grated upon her overwrought
nerves.
Still the sense of peace, the sudden in
fusion of relief as II some one had lifted
the burden from her soul, grew, until.
as If drawn by a magnet, The Woman
slowly lifted her eyes to meet the grave

Turned directly in his seat he was
watching her with his eyes of Heavens
own blue, so that when at last The
Woman lifted her own eyes, she met his
direct gaze.
Startled she would have turned her
head away. The all-seeing eyes Of in
nocent babyhood were the last she would
have chosen to inspect her. But she
could not avoid them. The young eyes
held her. They searched her face with
grave intensity. They probed down into
the fundamental truth of her being-the
God-thing that was the essence of her
and, satisfied with what they found Of
good, a smile like the very radiance Of
God crept into them-a smile that en-
braced all there is of an absolute trust.
Whereupon Ths Woman. as one trans
figured. aroee from her pew. went out Of
the church into the crisp, purifying air
of the winters day. her glimpse of God
in the eyes of the child suffusing her
with a strange new faith in the divinity
of today and the unreality of yesterday.
Why" she cried out in her Joy, there
is no bridge to yesterday. There is no
need of tracing ones way back to God,
for God is here and now"
And then in an ecstacy Of relief from
her hideous and futile oppression she

The Woman had made a grave mistake
lost her balance in the transgressiou OF
moral law-and. try as she might, II
seemed impossible to trace her way back
to God.
In the light Of q rigid, orthodox, and
unrelenting puritanism she could see but
one thing, and that thing was her de-
Element.
She. a gentlewoman, the daughter Of a
religionist and scholar. had committed
the sin unforgivable in woman through
love the unwisdom Of which even to
herself. The Woman was bound to admit.
and she was reaping her harvest of
hideous depression.
Involuntarily she shrank from her
friends. not because they knew, but be-
cause of her own consciousness of the
tenor OF their thought toward the "fal-
len woman" as The World would have
been pleased to call her in consequence
of her error.
Hours upon hours The Woman spent
in self-reproach. More hours she spent
on tears of remorse, and still others In
self-imposed isolation from a world no
different in its potentialities for mistakes
than herself. In agony she prayed for
Gods forgiveness OF her weakness-and
wondered in the heart of her why no
sense Of forgiveness came, until, at last,
she worked herself into frenzy Of despair
in her struggle to bridge the chasm which
she had builded through sin between her
God and herself.
Marriage" suggested The Man cour-
ageously.
NO" said The Woman, clear in her
conception that such a solution OF her
problem would in no way rectify her
fault.

she told The Man truthfully. Our love
has been a purely physical attractions
thing of the senses attacking each of us
under singular conditions of heart-lunges
and desolation. I thought as you did
that it was the real thing. But We know
that We were mistaken. Shall we try to
cover one error with a greater one, cover
a moments weakness by the the assump-
tion OF a life Of uncongeniality and suf-
fering?'
The Man was silent.
There seemed nothing whatever to say
to comfort The Woman, whose mistake
he shared.
Carried out on a sea of sense, they
had been lost in the storm and there
seemed to them no way of making their
way back to the shores of peace.
The Man knew, even as he offered it.
that marriage was not the solution, for
between the spiritual man and the spir-
itual woman there was no bond OF SYM
pathy, no tie of any sort whatever.
And in their sane moments each OF
them had the intelligence to see 1t as
well as the courage to admit 1t.
Time" promised The Man. will help.
But it was not SO.
The more The Woman dwelt in the
thought of The Great Mistake the more
it engulfed her soul in despair.
Somehow l must walk the bridge back
to God, retrace my steps to divine love,
she told herself over and over again.
But the more effort she made the great
er seemed her difficulty.
