He, Sergeant Kent, the coolest man on the force next to Inspector Kedsty, the most dreaded of catechists when questioning criminals, the man who had won the reputation of facing quietly and with deadly sureness the most menacing of dangers, had been beaten horribly beaten by a girl! And yet, in defeat, an irrepressible and at times distorted sense of humor made him give credit to the victor.
"I urged that, and also that in the schools of the catechists, and in the educational history of animals which we possess and teach from, the Saviour himself is compared to a lion, and that Mark, the evangelist, who brought the doctrine of the gospel to Alexandria, is represented with a lion.
The daimyo converted in the sixteenth century were dead or dispossessed or in banishment; the great Christian generals had been executed; the few remaining converts of importance had been placed under surveillance, and were practically helpless. The foreign priests and native catechists were not cruelly treated immediately after the proclamation of 1614.

During my second year in Benares I entered on every department of mission work, and had many opportunities for intercourse with the people.
