^^• 10. This IS what the American novelist had in mind. The young Minister of whom he wrote kr*ew quite well that he would incur the contempt of his congregation ; but in the end he made up his mind to face the ordeal and Digitized by Google 74 The Bmses of AmUia, put himself before them in his true colours, as a sinful man, as a religious humbug, without con- cealment, and without glossing things over. A convict in a prison at Zeze, in Goshiij, once said to the chaplain : '* So long as I was i...n the world outside, I could never get a moment's peace, nor enjoy a single night of quiet rest.
Since I have been here, I have always slept peacefully.'* This is again a case in point. As long as this man was in the world outside, he was sailing under false colours, and pretending to be an honest man, and it was no wonder that he could not rest. In prison, he stood be- fore men in his right colours, as a convict, with- out concealment or disguise, and so he gained peace of mind.
Peace of mind, therefore, has, as we see, no connection with pride of birth or station, with reputation or wealth, with life or death, with the outside world, or the body of flesh ; it de- pends entirely on the presence or absence of ialsehood.
