Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Saints and Sinners, Vol. 2 of 2: Or, in Church and About It The primitive people eminent for rank and piety who thought that nastiness was a mark of sanctity, set a fashion which very few would follow. The hirsute St. Angus, perspiring and unwashed, worked for years in his barn, till scattered grain took root and grew on his hairy carcase. As holy men as he shook their heads as they passed him, and gave him a wide berth. St. Etheldreda, all royal as she was, never knew water outwardly after she took the veil. "Never mind" said St. Romnald, "she keeps her heart clean, and that is washing enough." Other people did not see it: St. Patrick himself thought cleanliness next to godliness; but he had some practices about style which must have puzzled and amused some of his contemporaries. In dealing, however, with details of the style maintained by holy men in former days, regard must be had to the real meaning of words and things.
