He finds the Salvation Army as inexorable as fact itself. Itwill not punish him: it will not take his money. It will not tolerate aredeemed ruffian: it leaves him no means of salvation except ceasing tobe a ruffian. In doing this, the Salvation Army instinctively graspsthe central truth of Christianity and discards its centralsuperstition: that central truth being the vanity of revenge andpunishment, and that central superstition the salvation of the world bythe gibbet.
For, be it noted, Bill h...as assaulted an old and starving woman also;and for this worse offence he feels no remorse whatever, because shemakes it clear that her malice is as great as his own. "Let her havethe law of me, as she said she would, " says Bill: "what I done to heris no more on what you might call my conscience than sticking a pig. "This shows a perfectly natural and wholesome state of mind on his part. The old woman, like the law she threatens him with, is perfectly readyto play the game of retaliation with him: to rob him if he steals, toflog him if he strikes, to murder him if he kills.
