And Co Sucius does not lle.” * ok % % O ‘E on a time a young doctor, disappointed in love, left h Qhome secretly and became a monk. From the first, his zeal was of an intensity that startled the great order he had jolned; sleeping on bare bricks of his cell. depriving himself of proper food, and preaching. in church, monastery and on public squares, his one lifelong text: Reform; dot com- mercialized reform, as we know it. with pay envelope attached. As the vears passed the monk. with fervor ever more inflamed, became a torch of eloguence that fired the peo: ple with @ burning des follo his inspired teachings. of his experience in Florence the degenerate who ruled was driven out of his corrupt ease and rs the monk was a virtual dictator, ruling with an iron austerity, tempered with such tender mercy for the helpless that all of Ttaly was called on to admire the suc. ess of his work. Then higher powers gan a system of persecution that brought about the end. There are writers who tell us that the Dominican monk had become a politician, with a mad thirst supremacy and that his object was the papal chair. but this canard has ‘been shattered by other and more au thoritative chroniclers, who had superior view from which to judge. What seems to be really true is that the deposed tyrant sent his subordi- nates among the people to scatter dis. trust, that they found the usual per- centage of weaklings, ready to cry out because the monk had touched their pocket nerve in dizgcting chil- dren and devotees to Ahouses and bring to him &ll works of frivolous art and evil literature—with a bonfire as a result. Later on, he decreed & second hunt for vanities, with the same flery ending, and as human nature is about the same at all times, naturally some of the followers might have felt llke—well: You know how you would feel if little Johnnie and great-grandma were to rummage around, cribbing big sis- ter's vanity box and silk stockings and sc on, to say nothing of your own georgette, with beads, that you bought especially for big club meet- ings. and which even pop had to admit vou looked “all to the good” in—every- thing, in fact, that appealed to Johnny's depredacious marauding and granny’s old-age envy of doodads— well, that's the way some of the peo- ple began to feel.
