"If Any Man Sin" by H. A. Cody is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story deals with themes of redemption and loss, focusing on the life of Martin Rutland, a man who has descended into despair after being deposed from the ministry due to scandal. As he grapples with his past sins, he finds solace in the wilderness while also being haunted by memories of his former life and the woman he loves, Beryl Heathcote. The opening of the novel introduces us to the profound emotional turmoil of Martin Rutland as he listens to church bells from the shadows, overwhelmed by a mix of nostalgia and shame. Struggling with the weight of his past, he reflects on his deposition and the relationships that suffered as a consequence. His inner conflict deepens as he recalls a woman with a sweet singing voice, which draws him back to the church and to Beryl. The scene sets a poignant tone, revealing Martin’s determination to escape his former identity as he contemplates a life in the wilderness, while simultaneously battling the inescapable influence of the church he has tried to forsake.
