To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And at last, as a fitting climax, came the Crusades, with all Christendom transformed into an armed camp for the slaughter of the Paynim and the recovery of the Holy Sepulchre. Never was 80 rapid and complete a revolution! In five centuries the religion of the cross had become the religion of the sword. And so triumphantly has the sword prevailed down to our own day, that it is possible for a conserva- 186 NEW WARS FOR OLD tive historian, like John Morlej, soberly to affirm, that '^more blood h...as been shed for this cause (Christian- ity) than for any other cause whatsoever ! '* ^ It would be wrong, however, to imply that the non- resistant idea wholly disappeared from the hearts of men, even in the black midnight of the Middle Ages.
The hidden river of pure Christianity was not always a hidden river. Here and there it came rippling to the surface, as living water, and revealed thereby the presence of the stream.
