He possessed, it seemed, the other necessary qualifications, for a thin tenor voice, not unmusical, was his, and also a smattering of Hebrew wh...

Let me begin by explaining that I have set myself the task of telling this story for two sufficient reasons. The first, because I consider that it presents as good a warning to a young fellow as he could anywhere find, against allowing himself to be deluded by a false hatred into committing a sin that at any other time he would consider in every way contemptible and cowardly, and the second because i think it just possible that it may serve to...
