After suppression Of tire, hundrin
years, inonn,tic life has revived againeJ
England, and lis spread IS one of the most
remarkable signs Of the times. Under the
spirit Of religious liberation the vufjous
ancient orders of monks, the Benedictines,
Dcminicans, Caruchins, Agustines Cis-
tercians ind others have established them
selves in various parts Of England, and
have evinced the ancient aptitude VI the
Roman church for securing choice locali-
ties. One of the most noted Of these
modern English monasteries, Is that Of
Mount st. Bernard, in Cbamwood Forest,
Leicestershirc. IL was begun IN 1888, aud
for some time there we're only five monks,
who lived on little farm and titled the adj
jacent land. In ls42 the present extensive
abby buildings were commenced. They
are in the plain early English style, but
with the church, cloister, chapter house,
refectcry, dormitory, guest house, lava
tory, kitchen, Offices, ETC., with massive
walls and buttresses, long and narrow
windows, high gables and roots, with deep
ly arched doorways, the pile presents an
imposing appearance. A clock tower
with chime of bells remains TO be added.
The monastery owns now three hundred
acres, nearly all Of which is highly culti-
vsted. The situation is very picturesque
and the land was rocky and not easily
cultivated. The labor is all performed by
the monks, who have made the domain
profitable, selling the farm produce at a
good price. The lives of the recluses are
toilsomc and abstemious. They are not
allowed to speak TO each other
except in the presence OF the supe-
rior they eat no meat or animal food
except milk aud cheese; their daily round
is toll, prayer and sleep. They work on
the farm, feed the pigs, make the butter,
and do their own washing. No woman is
permitted to enter the sacred ground. They
have made garden Of the three hundred
acres. Attached to the abbey is n REFORM
atory institution for boys. The order is
the Cistercian, a branch OF the BenedIc-
tines and three hundred years ago this
order had one hundred and ten monster
les in England, the remains Of which are
now among the most picturesque ruins in
that land-Tintern. Netley and Foun-
tain abbeys among them. Is the old round
