...mortal need envy, it is that of Mr. Nicholas Murray Butler. The honored president of Columbia University can seldom stir from its portals without arousing a storm of reviling quite incommensurate with the strength of his opinions. His latest mishap along the road of liberal salvation is named "The Faith of a Liberal", and what a whirlwind of scarn and opposition it has blown up!

So great was the Doukhobors' faith in Veregin (many passionately believe him to have been a reincarnation of Jesus of Nazareth), that they expected a sign from his spirit to guide them in their choice of a new leader...
