GERMAN MYSTICISM.
LECTURE ON CONDITIONS IN THE MID
DIE AGES GIVEN BY MRS. REEFS

German Mysticism in the Middle Ages was
the subject Of the lecture yesterday in the course
mysticism now being given by Mrs Ruutz Rees
at the home of Mrs. w H Pomeroy, No. s7s West
End-ave. She said in part:
A glimpse at Germany in the Middle Ages is like
and color; the other darkest shades known TO
pTessed Itself in taies and songs Of ohvary in
visions Of barbaric pomp and. splendor. and in
with wealth and fame: on the one hand Indulgence
in all the age afforded Of sensuous enjoyment.
the other the life of the ascetic and the ecstasy
OF the mystic
The lecturer pictured the condition Of the
mon people slaves body and soul. OF the State
and the Church. To the claim OF future life Of
eternal JOY misery the interests of this life
wholly subordinated
''It was under such conditions" said Mrs Rees,
that the greatest mystics of the Middle Ages
arose-Eckhardt Tauer and Suso, three names
carrying even to our day a suggestion OF earnest
ness sincerity and holiness. OF the three Eek
hardt was the most mystical Tauler the most
practical Eckhardt based his teachings upon the
doctrines of the pseudo Dionysius' and claimed
that there was beyond the soul AN absolute moth
ing, rather named than name. a nothingness higher
than love- higher than grace at the same time
claiming unity with God. To attain this unity he
taught II necessary to live the ascetc life for
saking the world With other mystics of the day, he
came under the ban of the Pope, who forbade
Church ministrations throughout the whole Of
rites that they believed to be necessarv r. their
ultimate salvation, became terror-stricken Eek
hardt labored among them until his death when
he was succeeded in his work by Tauler. It was
the time of the latter that the Black Death
the terrible scourge known TO history visited
Europe, and in Strasburg alone sixteen hundred
people died. AS usual in that time, this frightfuI
visitation was attributed 10 the Jews. and two
thousand of them were burned in strasburg. Fear
riot, and new sects of mystics were formed in
dulging in the most extravagant fanaticsm
Tauer tried to stem the tide. and his sermons had
great effect Women were active in spreading these
through labor and penances.
But with all their extravagances it is to the
mystics of that that man to-day owes his
freedom Of thought They protested against dogma
and sacerdotalism; they claimed the right 10
worship in their own way, and kept alive the spirit
OF inquiry
Mrs. Rees mentioned some singular resemblances
between the practices Of some of the medieval
mystics and the Eastern Yogi, of them being
sit with eyes fixed n spot near the region
OF the heart, until the devotee lost himself In
ecstatic contemplation These practices never he
came widely prevalent however she said, "among
the sturdy Teutons, but to show how the
mystical mood has a tendency among different
peoples To express itself in similar ways
The lecture next Tuesday morning will treat
of Mysticism After the Reformation"
