CHAPTER I.
IN THE SCIENTIST’S STUDY.
The private study of Señor Guillermo Gonzales, in the State House of Chihuahua, always had an air conducive to study.
His fame as a scientist, as a man of great moral force, as a man who lived his daily life in a highly spiritual manner, was broadcast in the land.
His most casual acquaintances unconsciously grew thoughtful, studious, and better by knowing him.
He was of purely Mexican origin, and his friends delighted in calling him “Señor” Gonzales—as was the custom of the people when Chihuahua was one of the States of “The Republic of Mexico,” a nation long since only known as having existed by reading from the pages of history.
The great love and respect constantly shown him by his daily associates proved the exception to the rule that “A prophet is not without honor save in his own country and amongst his own kin.”
He was not honored as mankind was honored in the nineteenth century—for his social, political or financial position—but for his moral, intellectual, and spiritual development.
