"Quite sure, mamma," she replied; "I plainly heard Willie ask her to become his wife; how I hate her; and the thought of Willie's loving her almost causes me to hate him." "Hush!" exclaimed Mrs. Leighton; "I will investigate this matter myself." I hurried up to my room. I knew there was trouble in store for me, and I felt strong to meet it; for my own conscience acquitted me of any wrong-doing.
"Yes, it was but just that the Virgin should cherish them and choose them above all others to be Her vessels of election. "Yes. For they are unburdened with the dreadful weight of doubt, they are endowed with almost total ignorance of evil. "And yet are there not some souls too experienced, alas! in the culture of wrong-doing, who nevertheless find mercy at Her feet?
We must write the letter, or speak the word; we must make honourable reparation and amends; we must not be behind the sinners under the old law, who were bidden to add a fifth part to the loss their brother had sustained through their wrong-doing, when they made it good. The only sin we are justified in confessing to our brother man is that we have committed against him.

He knew perfectly well that back there in Saloniki, there were people who would jump at a chance to get even with him, and who would give Zaidos an account of meanness and wrong-doing that would cause him to kick Velo out of the house. Velo began to hate himself for the uncertainty in putting off what to him was a disagreeable necessity. Once more he went over the situation.
So envious was the unhappy child that she tried to remember some unkindness that Anne had shown her, that she might justify her own wrong-doing. But in spite of herself the thought of Anne recalled only pleasant things. "I don't care," she resolved; "she shan't go to Boston with Rose Freeman, and she has run off with the basket." "Mercy, child!
And now at the end I wish to suggest what is a theme large enough for a sermon by itself, and say that these laws of righteousness are so inherent that they are self-executed; and by no possibility did any soul from the beginning of the world ever escape the adequate result of his wrong-doing.
