SAINT FRANCIS AND HIS BRETHREN IN CHAPTER.
In a certain general chapter which Francis the most faithful servant of Christ celebrated at Saint Mary of the Angels, there were assembled five thousand brethren. There were present also Saint Dominic and seven brothers of his Order of Preaching Friars. He was on his way from Bologna to Rome. Having heard that Saint Francis had summoned a chapter to meet on the plain of Saint Mary of the Angels, he desired to be present. There was present moreover the... Lord Cardinal Ugolino, who was exceedingly devoted to the Blessed Francis and his brethren. As the court of the Lord Pope was then at Perugia, the said Cardinal was fond of going to Assisi, and on every day he was there he went to see Saint Francis, and sometimes he sang the divine service, and sometimes he preached a sermon to the brethren.
But when he came to visit that holy assem- blage, and saw them on the field in bands of sixty and of a hundred and of three hundred, 136 ^ .J SAINT FRANCIS AND HIS BRETHREN sitting in divine conference, or kneeling in prayer and in tears, or in the exercises of charity, and with such silence that there was there not the slightest murmuring or rustling heard, he looked with admiration on so great a multitude, pre- senting the aspect of a well-ordered line of encampment, and said : " Truly the camp of God is here, and this is the army of the knights of Christ " For there was not heard amongst them anyone to speak foolish or trifling words, but wherever they were congregated they were pray- ing, or were in lamentation, or were discoursing on the salvation of the soul.
