I have said, and I say again, that the Church is a system of moral government, and that no laxity can be permitted. It is a system founded on the Gospel of our Lord, but to obey the commands of our Lord to the letter we should have to find another world to live in " "Pardon me I ask for information," interposed Cyrillon, "You of course maintain that Christ was God in Man?" "Most absolutely!"
"Give that name to your children at Frascati!" cried Cyrillon passionately. "And own them as yours publicly, as my father owned me before he died!" With a violent start, Gherardi reeled back as though he had been dealt a sudden blow, and over his face came a terrible change, like the grey pallor of creeping paralysis.
"If you try, you will succeed" said Cyrillon, and bending down, he kissed the trembling little hands "Ah! forgive me! If you knew how dear your life is to to many, you would not waste it in weeping for what cannot be remedied by all your tears!
"I am not strong enough to go " she began. "You will be strong enough when you determine to be," said Cyrillon. "Your frightened soul is making a coward of your body!" She started and drew her hand away from his gentle clasp. "You are harsh!" she said, looking at him straightly. "I am not frightened I never was a coward!"
But Cyrillon went on unheedingly, "Beware of that symbol of your Church, Monsignor! It is a very strange one! It seems about to be expanded into a reality of dreadful earnest! 'I know not the man, said Peter. Monsignor, there is no true representative of Christ in this world!" "Not for heretics possibly," said Moretti disdainfully.
But it is better that it should be so anathematized than that it should be reported as not your own work. Between two lies, the emissaries of the Vatican have chosen the one least dangerous to themselves." Angela sighed wearily. "You do not care?" queried Cyrillon. "Neither anathema nor lie has any effect on you?"
I loved her at first sight I love her still more now. Yet I see the truth she is broken- hearted!" "Time and great tenderness will heal the wound," said Aubrey gently. "Meanwhile have patience!" Cyrillon gave him a look more eloquent than speech, and by mutual consent they said no more on the subject of Angela just then.
And sitting down beside her, still holding her hand, he gave her an account of his meeting with Cyrillon Vergniaud, otherwise "Gys Grandit," and told her of the sudden passion for Angela that had fired the soul of that fiery writer of the fiercest polemics against priestcraft that had as yet startled France.
There is no such thing as a real atheist in the world!" declared Cyrillon passionately, "No reasoning human being alive, that has not felt the impress of the Divine Image in himself and in all the universe around him!
Something of the old steady light came back to her eyes, and Cyrillon inwardly rejoiced to see it. "My words seem rough," he said, "but truly they are not so. I repeat, your soul is frightened yes! frightened at the close approach of God! God is never so near to us as in a great sorrow; and when we feel His presence almost within sight and touch, we are afraid.
