Excerpt from If Any Man Sin The church was warm, brightly lighted, and well filled with men and women. NO one heeded the stranger as he slipped quietly into a back seat and looked around.

The light from the large arc-lamp overhead exposed the old man's thin white hair, withered face and threadbare clothes. His sightless eyes were turned toward the passing throng, and his head was slightly bent in an expectant attitude. But the hand that drew the wheezy bow across the strings of the violin often faltered,...
