Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - November 26, 1875, Winnipeg, Manitoba The Confes Sion. By Collins. Continued i. The stranger made his appearance punctually. I guessed him to be two or three years younger than myself. He was undoubtedly handsome his manners were the manners of a gentleman and yet. With out knowing Why i Felt a Strong dislike to him the moment i entered the room. After the first preliminary words of politeness had been exchanged Between us my visitor in formed me As follows of the object which he had in View 1 believe you live in the country he began. I live in the West of i answered. Do you make a Long stay in no i shall go Back to the country to Morrow May 1 ask if you take pupils yes have you any i have one vacancy would you object to let me go Back with you to nor Row the abruptness of the proposal took me by Surprise. 1 hesitated. In the first place As 1 have already said i disliked him. In the second place he was too old to be a fit companion for my other two lads in their teens. In the third place lie had asked me to receive him at least three weeks before the vacation came to an end. I had my own pursuits and amusements in Prospect during that interval and saw no reason Why i should inconvenience myself by setting them aside. He noticed my hesitation and did not con ceal from Rno that i had disappointed him. I have it very much at lie said to repair without delay the time. That 1 have lost. My age is against me 1 know. The truth is i have wasted my opportunities since i left school and i am anxious Hon Estly anxious to mend my ways before it is too late. I wish to prepare myself for one of the universities. I wish to show if i can that i am not quite unworthy to inherit my father s famous name. You Are the Man to if i can persuade you to do it. I was struck by your Sermon yesterday and if i May venture to make the confession in your presence i took a Strong liking to you. Nuvill you father before you decide to say no he will be Able to explain what Ever May seem strange in my present application and will be Happy to see you this afternoon if you can spare the time. As to the question of terms i am quite sure it can be settled to your entire satisfaction to. Was evidently in vehemently in Earnest. I unwillingly consented to see his father. The interview was a Long one. All my questions were answered fully and frankly. The Young Man had led an Idle desultory life. He was weary of it and ashamed of it. His disposition was a Peculiar one. He stood sorely in need of a guide a teacher and Friend in a lion he was disposed to confide. If i disappointed the Hopes which he had entered on to he would be discouraged and lie would relapse into the aimless and indolent existence of which he was now ashamed. Any terms for which 1 might stipulate were at my disposal if i would consent to receive him for three months to begin with on trial. I still hesitated. I consulted my father and my friends. They were All of opinion and justly of opinion so far that the new connection would be an excellent one for me. They All reproached me for taking a purely capricious dislike to a Well born and Well bred Young Man and for permitting it to influence me at the outset of my career against my own interest. Pressed by these considerations i allow myself to be persuaded to give the new Pupil a fair trial. He accompanied me the next Day on my Back to the rectory. Vii. I t am astonished that you should doubt i replied. J he paused again struggled with himself again and startled me by a second out break even stranger than the first. J i am one of the people you preached at m your he said., that s the True reason Why i asked you to take me for your Pupil. Don t turn m e int. When you talked to your congregation of tortured and tempted people you talk of me. I was so astonished by the confession that i lost my i Senco of mind. For a moment i was unable to answer him. Don t turn me he repeated help me against myself. I am telling you the truth. As god is my witness i am telling you the truth. Tell me the whole i said and rely on my consoling and helping on my being your Friend in the Fervour of the moment i took his hand. It Lay cold and still in mine it mutely warned me that i had a sullen and secret nature to Deal with. There must be no concealment Between i resumed. You have entered my House by your confession under false pretences. It is your duty to me and to your self to speak out the Man s inveterate off for the moment its hold upon him. He considered carefully considered his next words before he permitted them to is his lips a person in the Way of my prospects in lie began slowly with his eyes cast Down on his Book. A person provokes me horribly. I feel dreadful temptations like the Man you spoke of in your when i am in the person s company. Teach me to resist temptation. I am afraid of myself if i Leo the person again. You arc the Only Man who can help me. Do it while Vou can to stopped and passed his handkerchief Over his forehead. Wt.1 that he asked still with eyes on his Book. It will not i answered. You Are so far from really opening your heart Tome that you won t even let me know whether it is a Man or a woman who stands in the Way of your prospects in life. You use the word person Over and than say he or she when you speak of the pro vocation which or. Trying you. How can i help a Man who has so Little Confidence in me As that to twisted l untwisted the handkerchief in his hands. He tried tried desperately to say More than he had said yet. Is o. The words seemed to stick in his Throat of them would pass his lips. Give me he pleaded piteously. I can t bring myself to it All at once. I mean Well. Upon my soul i mean Well. But i am slow at this sort of tiling. Wait till to Morrow to Morrow again to put it off. One More he said. You Don t know How hard it is to speak plainly. I am half afraid i am half ashamed. Give me one More Day i had hitherto Only disliked him. Try As i might did to make merciful allow Ance for his Reserve i began to despise him now.
