monasteries of the time.
She was famed for her erudition and
her wisdom during her era. But 1t IS
by her letters to Abeard that she is
remembered. because those letters re-

with the rare quality of loving with
absolute abandon, unseltishness and
loyalty and of consecrating her life
to the memory of that love.
Their Fame Rests on Love.
1t proves how much greater is
lover than a philosopher. when We
realize what a renowned man was
Abelard in his day, yet how utterly he
is forgotten save as the lover of Hell

philosopher the first poet. and one of
the first musicians of the twelfth CEN
tury.
He was so broad and so brilliant and
SO courageous i'm his ideas that he
brought a revolution into the relig
iOus world and autGgonized the entire
tradition bound clergy. He was per-
secuted in consequence. but his name
grew in glory, and his school OF phil
osophy. the first to teach the liberty
of human thought could not acommo-
date his vast audiences. and he was
obliged to address them in the open
air.
1t is no wonder that this man seemed
to HeloiSe, then seventeen years of
age a veritable god, or that she for
got the world in his love. And so great
was that love, that it alone, of all
Abelard's glory. is remembered to-day.
PHILOSOPHERS change-religions alter
-creeds die-the minds Of men are
revoutionized on these subjects, but
love lives on and passion endures-the
same yesterday, to-day, and forever i'm

Abelard was 81, Heloise a little more

does not even need to recall the fact
that the eleventh century was an era
of RIGHTEOUSNESS to understand how
Abelard, in his intimate association
with his beautiful pupil stood in dan

Iigious power.
The Canon Fulbert, believing in the
prudence and wisdom of his niece (as
