Explanation:

I incline to Cain's heresy he used to say. I let my brother go to the devil in his quaintly own way. In this character it was frequently his fortune to be the last reputable acquaintance and the last good influence in the lives of down going men. And to such as these so long as they come about his chambers he never marked a shade of change in his demeanor

The rhetorics shows that  he wasn't so much concerned about other peoples decision. We gave tolerance to everybody despite there paradigm and inclinations.

2 he did not judge the people he knew who were making poor decisions

It couldn't be 1 because it didn't do that. He couldn't be 3 because the passage didn't showed that he studied anyone's actions. it is not 4 because he was quite neutral about what his fellows believed in
