It is always the right, and may sometimes be the duty, of the layman to call the attention of the clergy to the short-comings and errors, not only of their own time, but also of the preceding generations, of which they are the intellectual and moral product.
He put the question abruptly, startling Ideala, as he had intended. "I? Oh, I did nothing," she stammered. There was a pause. "My ideal of marriage is a high one," he said at last, "and I should be very hard on any short-comings of that kind." Ideala longed to confide in him, but her shyness continued, and she walked by his side like one in a dream.
It is night now: and here is home. Gathered under the quiet roof elders and children lie alike at rest. In the midst of a great peace and calm, the stars look out from the heavens. The silence is peopled with the past; sorrowful remorses for sins and short-comings memories of passionate joys and griefs rise out of their graves, both now alike calm and sad.
Tonsard blamed his wife for her father's short-comings, and ill-treated her, with the customary revenge of the common people, whose minds take in only an effect and rarely look back to causes. Finding her fetters heavy, the woman lightened them. She used Tonsard's vices to get the better of him. Loving comfort and good eating herself, she encouraged his idleness and gluttony.
He was charitable in the extreme toward others for any laches in principle; always ready to find an excuse for the short-comings of others.

And if you do not know or recognise your need, or have no trouble, then you shall know that you are in the worst possible plight.
Not meeting any remonstrance she made quite a speech on the familiarity of young ladies, their want of dignity, and ended in a grand peroration upon the conceit of the young men, their vicious habits and all short-comings she could bring to bear upon the subject. But Miss Dorothy's speech was unhappily chosen, and therefore "lost its sweetness upon a desert air."
Rail at life and its hypocrisies, as she often did, she yet felt the tragedy in its pitiful short-comings, and looked with the eye of real compassion upon its sins and its sinners, condoning as far as possible the fault she must have in her very heart abhorred. "We all make mistakes," she would say, when someone retailed a bit of scandal.
Already there were indications that the innocent might be made to suffer for the short-comings of the real culprits; nor would it be, the first time, or by any means the last, for Davison to appear in the character of a scape-goat. "Surely, sir," continued Mr.
