Peace for Europe. i /
Rev. Father James MceTolrick deily-
red the first Of his Interesting series
if lectures upon ssThe Crusades," last
Sunday evening, of which we give
synopsis He began by considering the
contest which went on and continued
during the reign of Pope Gregory H.,
and after, for the rights Of the Chufeh |
and its freedom from state authority. !
God in His own good time had deter
mined that a second general movement
must take place, in order that bhe
Church's members might be welded to
gether for the purpose He had in view
in spreading His truth. He therefore
by the Crusades gathered together the
divided Christian nations of Europe |
Years before they sWarmed down from |
their Businesses in the North, where
they were a wild and barbar0us people,
tribes hunting down each other as the
Indian tribes of modern times. Inc
Church received them, Instructed them
and welded them into a semblance OF
unity: and vet so far back as the 1Ith
century the Church had not altogether
prevailed with these people. The tray
eIer who now passes over the race OF
Europe, when he gazes on the Old tow
ers and iyy-clad ruins that look down
OH many a winding river OF that OLD
land, will notice how strongly built
they were in ages long ago. There
Eliyed the lord aud his retainers, While
all around snhnlissively yielded to them
as their lords and masters. Indeed
they owned the populace. From out
these places armed retainers rushed
forth, and in times of peace made war
upon the poor agricultural people, seiz-
ing their wives and daughters, their
goods and chattels, and with strong
hands swept them into these, their
strongholds. In such a disordered
state of society the Church alone
had the power of withstand
1 ing the worlds wickedness. Each
