,Z sag - it hi. + xf g on The Knight A Knight! A knight of Christ the King, Before 1117s altar prays, For help in battles life will bring, All through his knighthood days. I choose to walk upon Thy path, Thy Will, 0 Lord, is mine, I pray to Thee Who power hath, To make my life sublime. And all my life I 'll strive to be, More perfect every hour, Then virtue from a tiny seed, Will grow into a flower. L. HERZING. Knighthood We are dedicating this book to Pope Pius X commonly known as The White Knight. Look- ing through this book you will notice that the theme is knighthood. Looking back into the past we find three periods in the life of the knight. These are as follows: the page, the squire, and knight. At the age of seven the young noble was taken from his home and given in care of his father's suzeraine or some other friend, to become a page. Here he remained for seven or eight years waiting on his lord and especially the lady of the house. He ran errands and was taught obedience and other Christian virtues. When he was old enough he was instructed in the use of light arms by the older men and knights of the castle. At fourteen or fifteen the page became a squire. His duties were now to feed and take care of the master's horse, shine his armor, carry his shield, arm him for battle and accompany him on all his journeys. At the age of twenty or twenty-one the squire's education was completed. His ideals were of a high class and did not lack foundation in reason and Faith. Gallantry as long as it was based upon the veneration of the Lady of Ladies, the Virgin Mother of God, could not fail to produce at once nobleness of sentiment, purity of morals and elegance of manner. On the eve of the day when the squire was to be knighted, he kept vigil during the entire night kneeling in meditation and adoration before the Blessed Sacrament. During very impressive ceremonies, the next morning he assisted at Mass, received Holy Communion and was instructed in the duties of knighthood. Then the household and the guests gathered in the castle yard, where a servant stood holding the charger of the new knight. The squire now vowed to be a brave knight, to defend the Name of God and His Church, to protect ladies, and to defend the widows and the orphans. The lord of the house or some other prominent knight dubbed him on the left shoulder with the flat edge of the sword and said: In the name of God and of St. Michael, and St. George, I dub thee knight. The armor and the golden spurs were then put upon him by the ladies of the castle. He then gave an exhibition of his skill in arms and horsemanship. We have many examples of the bravery and virtues of knights in fictiong among them, Sir Galahad in Tennyson's poem of the same name, also Tennyson's prominent characters Lancelot, Bedivere and others in his Idylls of the King. Scott shows the daring of Ivanhoe and King Richard in his story of Ivanhoe CHAS. PAPPAS Spring cuzewswoi inging birds bring the Spring, laying children love to swing. obin red-breast warbles sweet, n us rhythm moves our feet. ature's flowers fragrance blend, olden sun shines to the end.
