Fortuitous Thoughts.
No jarring element the scene shall mar , And fitful passion ' s work be banished far . The songs of tuneful birds will fill the air , " " With music ' s melody beyond compare ;
All things in sweet accord shall ever be By love united , glorious and free . ******* 0 , Pity 'tis ! the world for this must wait , But time is needful for a change so great .
The Knights Templar.
THE KNIGHTS TEMPLAR .
( Continued from page 128 . )
"TN vain the Pope endeavoured to overawe the equitable and courage-- " - ous resistance of the Fathers of the Council . He was reduced to the necessity of transgressing the sacred authority Avhich he himself had convoked ; and in comtempt of the rights and authority of the Fathers of the Council ; in contempt of their imperative decision , he
pronounced , in a secret consistory , the provisional abolition of the Order of the Templars . Was this just ? Was this an abuse of power ? It is not hard to give the answer . Will any one still entertain
doubts upon the injustice of the proscription of the Order of the Templars ; upon the barbarous punishment inflicted on such numbers of chevaliers , and their illustrious chief , Jacques de Molay . I ought to have justified the Order previously to occupying myself with the case of this brave and Adrtuous chevalier .
He was a native of Burgundy , of the family of Longvie and Raon . Molay was an estate in the deanship of Neublant , in the diocese of Besancon . Having become a Knight Templar about the year 1265 , he was introduced at the court of France , where he was always treated Avith distinction . He had had the honour of holding on the baptismal font Robert , fourth son of Philip the Fair .
