THE CRUsADEs.


 The first crusade, which inaugural ed that long series of fanatical re- ugious wars carried on by the Chris uan nations of the west from the end of the eleventh to the latter half of the thirteenth century. owed it's in sptration to the eloquent and impas- stoned preaching of Peter the Hermit, who was born 807 years aGD today, July 8, HOS. Peter. a man Of humble origtns lived in the north or France, and embraced a religious and a.nchorictic life. While living as a heBnnit he became subject to visita- tons, which he considered divine. and easily convinced the creduIous people that he was special agent of Provi- dence- Like many others, he made a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and there formed the project of arousing the Christian warriors of the west to form an army for the recovery of the Holy he laid the plan before Pope Urban IT., who embraced it with enthusiasm. and ordered Peter to go about preach ing the Crusade Peter, clad in a single coarse robe, bare of head and feet, rode on a mule through the greater part of Europe, and was everywhere received as a saint Eventually he led 3Oo,O00 nenE across Europe to Asia His followers com rnitted every sort of atrocity, laid waste the country, and fought among themselves about the pIunder. Eventually all were slain or died of privation, but a later army succeeded in taking Jerusalem and Peter lived to see his prophecy fulfilled. He died just eight centuries ago, in 1115.
