At that time a melancholy condition of things
existed in Christendom. Centuries of ignorance

'Darkness had covered thy earth, and gross
darkness the people." The true light of the gos

and minds of men. Eriwupon error had crept
into the church until little wa!eft by which
she could at all be recognized. fld formalism
had usurped the place of a spiritual and holy
life. Worship had come to be Jmt little more

fixes, nnd relics of tTTc dead. 1 he clergy, , a iu
