declares that "hc dies not who gives

they learned whatever the inhabitants
knew. From India they acquired
mathematics, from Egypt irrigation,
from every country some advance in

noted for their skill in medicine. agr-

CAUSES OF CRUSADES.
In the middle of the eleventh century
the Seljukan Turks seized the holy
land and threatened Constantinople
They prosecuted the Christians in the
east and tried to stop all intercourse
with the west. This conquest by the
Turks caused the crusadcs.
In order to understand how such n
general movement was possible we
must examine the conditions among
the Christians. The fact which i'm
presses us most strongly is the sway
which religion held over the minds OF
men. They believed in the snfulncss OF
humanity and the necessity of prepar-
ing for the day of judgment. Many
retired from the world in order to de-
vote themselves entirely to asceticism.
Others contcnted themselves with doing
penance for their sins. But n pilgrim
age was regarded both as an act Of
asccticism and one of the highest forms
OF penancc. Pilgrimages To Rome and

were recorded in the eighth century,
twelve in the ninth, sixteen in the
tenth and III in the eleventh. This
large number was indicative of the
great increase of asceticism and of in

power of religion over mems minds was

IntruducttOn.

The struggle between the eastern and
western worlds is almost as old as the
human race itself. In the shadowy an
nails of the past we find the two ar
rayed against each other on the plains
of Troy. At Marathon and Thermopy-
lac the Greeks upheld the cause OF the
west. Alexander of Macedonia carried
the war into the enemys country
Rome took up the task and was sue
cessful for centuries. But in the
seventh century of our era Il new fac
tor entered into the contest. Within
100 years after Mohammcd's death his
followers conquered more than half the
civilized world For 1000 years they
were Il constant danger to Europe. The
fear OF invasion ended only in 1888
when brave John Sobiesli raised the
Siege of Vienna. Since that time the
west has been the aGgressor-England
in India. France in Siam. And in our
own day we see the insidious advances
of Russia and Germany in China. In
this connection only can the crusades
be understood. They formed one phase
OF this worldold strife. They were n
defensive war against the Mohamme-
dams. They avertcd the danger of in
vasion by attacking the enemy in his
own country.

The success was phenomenal. Hundreds
OF thousands took the cross. The no.
pies made deliberate preparations for
the difficult undertaking. The peasants

thousands OF men, women and children
started In different bands under the
leadership of Peter and others. They
marched across Germany, through

as by their depredations they inccnsed
the natives of the countries through
