CRUEL TREATMENT OF THE OISE-
LIERS

In 1895 Godfrey of Bouillon, prior to
his departure for the Holy Land, sold
his ancestral castle to Ombert, Prince
Bishop of Liege, who thus acquired for
himself and his family a very impor
tant stronghold on the borders of their
large estates. The castle remained in the
possession Of the Bishop of Liege until
1884, when Renaud, Count of Bar, de-
scendant of the old counts of Bouillop,
took it into his head to deny the legality
of the purchase, and forthwith laid siege
to the fortress. 1t proved impregnable,
however. and Renaud was obliged to Sc
duce the garrison, who traitorously led
him in. The reigning bishop, Alexander
l., died of grief, but his successor, the
cruel and licentious Alberon H., with
the assistance of the Count of Namur,
blockaded the castle, and in 1141 was
cuscessful in retaking it, as the inmates
fell short of water. Alberon, after
having ordered the whole garrison to be
well beaten, graciously granted them
their lives, but transported them all to
farm called Ferme des Oiselers
where they were stabbed and treated ex-
actly like cattle. Scarcely kept alive,
forced to do all the most degrading
work, their condition of filth and the
privations to which they We're espoused
caused them to contract d peculiar kind
of leprosy, and they sank into indescrib-
able AFFECTION Their names and those
of their children were carefully regis
tered, in order that none might escape;
and fifty years after, the memory of
the country people had so confused
facts that the Oiselers, as these poor
wretches were called, We're supposed to
be descendants of Jewish slaves,
brought back from Palestine by God
frey of Boullon, although neither God
frey nor his brothers had ever returned
to Europe. So long as these eminently
Christian bishops remained dukes of
Bouillon they kept the OILERS in the
most rigorous slavery, the greater part
of, them always inhabiting the Ferme
des Oiseliers Later on, under the
Princes of Auvergne, the Oiseliers be-
came practically free, but the infamous
record still existed, and was only de-
stroyed in 1910. since when the families
of these unfortunates have become
more or less identified with the rest of
the pulation.-Cornhill Magazine.

CHURCHES AS SOCIAL CLUBS.

! One of the marked causes Of church
deterioration is owing to misdirected
zeal for the advancement of the social
life of the churches. With slackening
of theological interest and with The
growth of the agnostic attitude (Which
is found as conspicuously in the reotest
| towns as in the most cultured cities)
there has come a largely increase ten
dency to make of the church a centre
of social activities. In the country, as
well as in the city. many churches are
| little better than social clubs; and the
urgency OF this interest in the country
is even greater than in the city, owing
to the absence of other means of social
qualification. You enter a church on
Sunday morning and find thirty-five or
fifty persons present, but you attend
the church sociable on Thursday ecen-
ing in the vestry and find the number
Is one hundred or one hundred and fifty.
The attitude on Sunday morning is one
of apathy and Indifference, but that of
Thursday evening shows enthusiasm
and keen enjoyment. One clergyman
has said that he was littye more than
a town crier to announce entertainments
and to act as centre around which the
social interests could focus themselves.
If the social interest Were removed
many a church would come to an end
1t is quite impossible that one may
take too narrow view of the ministry
of social recreation. The fact is that
in country communities there are no
centres of social life outside of the
churches 1T is in many ways most
desirable thing that the amusements of
the people should be had under noble
auspices, the best that the town can
afford, Where they are not provided by
the churches they are almost surely of
lower and more degrading character.
When one has seen the eagerness. with
which farmers and their wives meet to-
gether for the enjoyment of the simplest
for he cannot doubt that
there is a mission for tbs church vestry.
The objection does not lie so much
against the wholesome amusements
which may be introduced to increase
the interest of the people in each other
and in the church as in the fact that
everything else. With the majority the
social life provided by the church is the
chief thing, while the intellectual and
spiritual interest is made subordinate

FRENCH CANADIANS MEET AND

Der of Council
At Boston on Labor Day number Of
prominent Frenchmen met for the or
ganization of the F'ranco-American His
torical Society The object of this Or
ganization is the advancement of the
interests of the French Canadian ee-
ment in the United States. The heroic
part which their ancestors played in the
colonization and civilization of the in
FAINT country is to be reviewed and en-
phasized, with a view to liberalizing
public opinion and dissipating what
ever prejudice may exist against the
French-Canadian in certain narrow and
ill-informed classes among American
society.
A preliminary meeting had been held
in Boston on May 30, when committee
consisting of j. Fl. Outlet Of Lowell
Alphone Gaulin, Jr., of Woonsocket, Dr.
Omer Larue OF Putnam, Conn. and J.
A. Favreau of Worcester, Macs, had
been appointed to prepare a constitu-
ton and bylaws. This committee
issued invitations for a general meet
ing of influential citizens at the Par
ker House on September 4, when there
was a good attendance, and letters of
encouragement and greeting were read
from others unable to be present.
