Colleccion de Leyes, p. 184. The Church of Mexico. Its present Condition and Power. The Number of the "Religios." The Wealth of the Church. The Money-power of the Church. The Power of Assassination.

It was a world he got a glimpse of quite different from that sharp twofold world of the workers and the money-power, a world of infinite gradations, a world merely the child of the past, where high and low were pushed by the resistless pressure of environment, and lives were shaped by birth, chance, training, position, and a myriad, myriad indefinable forces.
