It
moved
and
intrigued
Clyde
deeply
.
Could
there
--
could
there
?
He
was
so
lonely
--
so
despairing
--
so
very
much
in
need
of
help
.
Was
it
not
also
true
(
the
teaching
of
the
Rev.
McMillan
--
influencing
him
to
that
extent
at
least
)
that
if
he
had
led
a
better
life
--
had
paid
more
attention
to
what
his
mother
had
said
and
taught
--
not
gone
into
that
house
of
prostitution
in
Kansas
City
--
or
pursued
Hortense
Briggs
in
the
evil
way
that
he
had
--
or
after
her
,
Roberta
--
had
been
content
to
work
and
save
,
as
no
doubt
most
men
were
--
would
he
not
be
better
off
than
he
now
was
?
But
then
again
,
there
was
the
fact
or
truth
of
those
very
strong
impulses
and
desires
within
himself
that
were
so
very
,
very
hard
to
overcome
.
He
had
thought
of
those
,
too
,
and
then
of
the
fact
that
many
other
people
like
his
mother
,
his
uncle
,
his
cousin
,
and
this
minister
here
,
did
not
seem
to
be
troubled
by
them
.
And
yet
also
he
was
given
to
imagining
at
times
that
perhaps
it
was
because
of
superior
mental
and
moral
courage
in
the
face
of
passions
and
desires
,
equivalent
to
his
own
,
which
led
these
others
to
do
so
much
better
.
He
was
perhaps
just
willfully
devoting
himself
to
these
other
thoughts
and
ways
,
as
his
mother
and
McMillan
and
most
every
one
else
whom
he
had
heard
talk
since
his
arrest
seemed
to
think
.
What
did
it
all
mean
?
Was
there
a
God
?
Did
He
interfere
in
the
affairs
of
men
as
Mr.
McMillan
was
now
contending
?
Was
it
possible
that
one
could
turn
to
Him
,
or
at
least
some
creative
power
,
in
some
such
hour
as
this
and
when
one
had
always
ignored
Him
before
,
and
ask
for
aid
?
Decidedly
one
needed
aid
under
such
circumstances
--
so
alone
and
ordered
and
controlled
by
law
--
not
man
--
since
these
,
all
of
them
,
were
the
veriest
servants
of
the
law
.
But
would
this
mysterious
power
be
likely
to
grant
aid
?
Did
it
really
exist
and
hear
the
prayers
of
men
?
The
Rev.
McMillan
insisted
yes
.
"
He
hath
said
God
hath
forgotten
;
He
hideth
His
face
.
But
He
has
not
forgotten
.
He
has
not
hidden
His
face
.
"
But
was
that
true
?
Was
there
anything
to
it
?
Tortured
by
the
need
of
some
mental
if
not
material
support
in
the
face
of
his
great
danger
,
Clyde
was
now
doing
what
every
other
human
in
related
circumstances
invariably
does
--
seeking
,
and
yet
in
the
most
indirect
and
involute
and
all
but
unconscious
way
,
the
presence
or
existence
at
least
of
some
superhuman
or
supernatural
personality
or
power
that
could
and
would
aid
him
in
some
way
--
beginning
to
veer
--
however
slightly
or
unconsciously
as
yet
--
toward
the
personalization
and
humanization
of
forces
,
of
which
,
except
in
the
guise
of
religion
,
he
had
not
the
faintest
conception
.
"
The
Heavens
declare
the
Glory
of
God
,
and
the
Firmament
sheweth
His
handiwork
.
"
He
recalled
that
as
a
placard
in
one
of
his
mother
's
mission
windows
.
And
another
which
read
:
"
For
He
is
Thy
life
and
Thy
length
of
Days
.
"
Just
the
same
--
and
far
from
it
as
yet
,
even
in
the
face
of
his
sudden
predisposition
toward
the
Rev.
Duncan
McMillan
,
was
he
seriously
moved
to
assume
that
in
religion
of
any
kind
was
he
likely
to
find
surcease
from
his
present
miseries
?
And
yet
the
weeks
and
months
going
by
--
the
Rev.
McMillan
calling
regularly
thereafter
,
every
two
weeks
at
the
longest
,
sometimes
every
week
and
inquiring
after
his
state
,
listening
to
his
wants
,
advising
him
as
to
his
health
and
peace
of
mind
.
And
Clyde
,
anxious
to
retain
his
interest
and
visits
,
gradually
,
more
and
more
,
yielding
himself
to
his
friendship
and
influence
.
That
high
spirituality
.
That
beautiful
voice
.
And
quoting
always
such
soothing
things
.
"
Brethren
NOW
are
we
the
children
of
God
.
And
it
doth
not
yet
appear
what
we
shall
be
;
but
we
know
that
when
He
shall
appear
we
shall
be
like
Him
,
for
we
shall
see
Him
as
He
is
.
And
every
man
that
has
this
hope
in
him
purifieth
himself
even
as
He
is
pure
.
"
"
Hereby
know
that
we
dwell
in
Him
and
He
in
us
,
because
He
hath
given
us
of
His
spirit
.
"
"
For
ye
are
bought
with
a
price
.
"
"
Of
His
own
will
begot
He
us
with
the
word
of
truth
,
and
we
should
be
a
kind
of
first
fruits
of
His
creatures
.
And
every
good
and
every
perfect
gift
is
from
above
and
cometh
down
from
the
Father
of
lights
,
with
whom
is
no
variableness
,
neither
shadow
of
turning
.
"
"
Draw
nigh
unto
God
and
He
will
draw
nigh
unto
you
.
