the Reverend Dr。 Hyde and the Reverend H。 B。 Gage: the Apia bar…

room; the Honolulu manse。



But I fear you scarce appreciate how you appear to your fellow…men;

and to bring it home to you; I will suppose your story to be true。

I will suppose … and God forgive me for supposing it … that Damien

faltered and stumbled in his narrow path of duty; I will suppose

that; in the horror of his isolation; perhaps in the fever of

incipient disease; he; who was doing so much more than he had

sworn; failed in the letter of his priestly oath … he; who was so

much a better man than either you or me; who did what we have never

dreamed of daring … he too tasted of our common frailty。  〃O; Iago;

the pity of it!〃  The least tender should be moved to tears; the

most incredulous to prayer。  And all that you could do was to pen

your letter to the Reverend H。 B。 Gage!



Is it growing at all clear to you what a picture you have drawn of

your own heart?  I will try yet once again to make it clearer。  You

had a father: suppose this tale were about him; and some informant

brought it to you; proof in hand: I am not making too high an

estimate of your emotional nature when I suppose you would regret

the circumstance? that you would feel the tale of frailty the more

keenly since it shamed the author of your days? and that the last

thing you would do would be to publish it in the religious press?

Well; the man who tried to do what Damien did; is my father; and

the father of the man in the Apia bar; and the father of all who

love goodness; and he was your father too; if God had given you

grace to see it。
