Answer:
Alas, Mr.. Man, it seen to m that you are paying the
dear. especially when the nan happens to be a married man
when you have betrayed her faith? You would look with al
eye Of suspicion yourself on a man who had cheated you.
The trouble with sinners always is that they thnk that when they
have confessed their fault that they wipe out their transgresdon, and that
everything should go along just as 1t did before. This is as impossible as it
i to make a shattered ghN whole. You an cement tn parts together.
but the cracks are always there, and the beauty gone. forgiveness means
forgetting
But your wife isn't playing the game fairly either. II
she has overlooked your fault she should let bygones be by
cones, and OF continually nag you with past offenses. She
should either break up the home or else be sport enough to
