The Albigenses
BY REV. THOMAS. B. GREGORY.

TIME story of the crusade against
the Albigenses, which began
January 4. 1908, is not without
its comforting lessons. Fearful as
it is, that story makes us feel pro-
foundly grateful for the fact that
we are living in the twentieth rath-
err than in the thirteenth century.
and that it would be impossible for
any one to do unto us what Simon
de Montfort did unto the people Of
southern France.
Bear in mind the striking con-
trast in the conditions prevailing in
northern and southern France at
the beginning Of the thirteenth CEN
fury. In the north there was lit
tie but barbarism and ignorance. In
the south, on the other hand, were
all manner of institutions, tradi-
lions, beliefs and disbeliefs. Greek
Roman, Oriental, Pagan and Mus
sulman.
The frequent invasions had min
gled Arab blood with the Gallo,
Roman, Asiatic and Visigothic. and
this mixture of so many different
races. tongues, creeds and ideas had
resulted in a civilization more de-
veloped, more elegant and more hui
name than was TO be found any
where else in Europe.
Poetry, art, science, eloquence,
refinement. culture We're every
where in evidence, while the north
was a soggy mass of ignorance,
brutality and superstition
The result was inevitable-the
oasis of light along the Rhone and
the Garonne was sure sooner or lat
or to come into conflict with the
barbarism along the Rhine, the
Scheldt and the Loire. What fell
lowship hath light with darkness.
intelligence with superstition, prog
gress with owl-eyed conservatism?
