THE KNIGHT, THE HERMIT,
AND THE MAN.

THE KNIGHT.

IR GUY DE MONTFORT was as brave

a knight as ever laid lance in rest or
swung his glittering battle-axe. He pos-
sessed many noble and generous qualities,
but they were obscured, alas! by the strange
thirst for human blood that marked the
age in which he lived—an age when “ Love
your friends and hate your enemies” had
taken the place of “ But I say unto you,
love your enemies; bless them that curse
you, do good to them that hate you, and
pray for them which despitefully use you

and persecute you.” nt in
