PAGE FOR THE CHURCHES How to Cure Your

The Monastery

(BY SCRUTATOR)

We concluded last week with the statement that there is some- thing of the monk in all of us. Monasticism developed In clear stages:

four

(1) The man whom we may call the first monk is nameless. He had no abbey or monaN- tery; he wore no uniform: he did not aven separate himself in any obvious way from other Christians, He lived. In that period of the "minor peace" of the Church" when Christianity was a minority religion; when It really cost something to be 1 Christian; when therefore. Ali Christians *were more alive than they are to-day to the difference between

11

Christian and an unbeliever, Christianity was then itself **** child of the desert" opposing the Roman Empire in that it renounc ed the world. In those days the average standard of Christianity

tended to be high"

NOT HIGH ENOUGH But even so, for some Christians it did not seem high enough. There were some too. who even among their own fellow-believers, perhaps, but sincere; aloof, but self-sacrificing: careless of the world, but eager unto Christ. In "short, the first monk was the Puritan of the early Church. The movement towards morasticism was born in a spirit not unlike

century Puritanism. That same spirit is always. in greater "or lesser, de- gree. in all kinds of Churches. Roman Catholic and Protestant alike, and in the sects and sec- tions of them.

a

iles who did not live alone. Some had fellow-believers with them. Some even trained disciples in their way of renunciation. Now Chritsianity is always in a very real sense renunciation and escape from the world; but there La right and a wrong way of es- cape. And when a man goes off on his own to be a Christian he may become good one, or a shockingly bad one, according to whether he is striving to be like Christ, or unlike other men.

Some of the hermits indeed went" far astray-posing them- selves on top of high pillars, hanging in baskets from trees. digging themselves in up, to the neck in trenches for whole days at a time, to harden their bodies and cultivate their souls. But it is useless to spend time consider- ing these futile, Insanitary, and repulsive extravagances which. among a section of mankind, won for some of them the name of saints.

INSPIRING EXAMPLES

There are other more inspiring. examples. Antony, for instance, heard his call to a holy life in the Gospel passage "Go and sell all that thou hast and give to the poor." He renounced everything. He went to extremes in trying to stine his true family affections: but going cut into the desert he did achieve a worthy measure of attractive holiness.

He taught disciples. He did not repel visi- tors and enquirers He fasted

but he was not Indiscreet in his

severities. He loved Christ truly and when he died he would have none tell where he was buried,
