Cuthbert's shrine were compelled to do penance in the churches of S. Nicholas and All Saints. Symeon gives other cases of the audacity of women being punished by Heaven. In the present cathedral at Durham there is a blue marble line and cross on the west side of the doors of the nave, which marks off the small portion of the church where women were allowed at the time of service. Centuries have rolled by since Cuthbert died, yet his 126 THE BISHOPS OF LINDISFARNE example of self-abnegation, mee...kness, tenderness, and patience is held in reverent esteem wherever his name is mentioned. Apart from the inflictions of his biogra- phers, whose exaggerated stories are offensive to his memory, he is greatly revered. The austere lives of solitaries have had wonderful power and sway over other men's lives, especially in the ages when few paths were open to people of fervent and zealous temperament. The stories of the lives of the saints have always had this fascination for a special class who have been so much influenced by examples as to renounce the world and seek solitude in huts built of wattles and mud, in deserts or ocean caves, and in monasteries and deserted temples.
