CHAPTER II
9/21

"Do you receive any financial support from any source whatever in your mission about the country ?" "I receive--" began the evangelist.
"Do you or do you not ?" thundered the Rector.
"I was about to say that my expenses are paid by my society." "Thank you, no more need be said.

These people can judge for themselves." "I am willing that they should judge, but I remind you that there is another Judge." "Yes, sir," replied the Rector with portentous solemnity, "there is, before whom both you and I must stand." "And now then," said the evangelist, taking up the Bible, "we may proceed with our meeting." "No, sir," replied the Rector, stepping upon the platform.

"I will not permit it." "You have no right to--" "I have every right to protect this community from heretical and disingenuous, not to say dishonest, persons." "You call me dishonest ?" "I said disingenuous." The evangelist turned toward the audience.

"I protest against this intrusion upon this meeting.

I appeal to the audience for British fair play." Murmurs were heard from the audience and subdued signs of approval.
