"Thy father's Brotherhood are His Majesty's friends!" "Ah, the very point! They despise Scholarius now, and what an ado, what a political display, to drive them into his arms! The Princes of India, though they were numerous as the spectre caravan, could not carry influence that far." Here there was a rest in the conversation.
"And Scholarius?" "Scholarius is an orator; some say he is a prophet; I know he is not an official; so of the seats vacant when he arrives, let him choose for himself." The company began coming early. Every Churchman of prominence in the city was in attendance. The reception was unusually ceremonious.
The greater the presence, he says, the greater the influence." "Scholarius is a wise man," the Prince said, diplomatically. "His is the wisdom of the Prophets," the Father answered. "Is he the Patriarch?" "No, the Patriarch is of the Roman party Scholarius of the Greek." "And Constantine?" "A good king, truly, but, alas; he is cumbered with care of the State." "Yes, yes," said the Prince.
The chill which shook Brutus in his tent the evening before Philippi was not in the least akin to terror. So with the Prince at this juncture. There to measure the hold of the Christian idea upon the Church, it seemed Scholarius had brought him an answer which finished his interest in the passing Vigils.
Fortunately or unfortunately for the Prince, an officer that moment made way through the courtiers, and whispered to the Dean, who at once addressed himself to the Emperor. "I pray pardon, but it pleased Your Majesty to bid me notify you when it is time to make ready for the Mystery to-night. The hour is come; besides which a messenger from Scholarius waits for an interview." Constantine arose.
The monk with the hollow eyes who had arisen and posed behind his crucifix, like an exorcist, was no other than George Scholarius, whom, for the sake of historical conformity, we shall from this call Gennadius; and far from availing himself of His Majesty's permission to retire, that person was observed to pass industriously from chair to chair circulating some kind of notice.
Or can it be, Father, that the effect upon me was in greater measure due to the night, the celebration, the cloud of ministrants, the serious objects of the Vigils?" The answer made Father Theophilus happy as a man of his turn could be he was furnished additional evidence of the spiritual force of Scholarius, his ideal. "No," he answered, "it was God in the man."
Scholarius would intrust the State to the Holy Virgin; but Constantine, with a worldlier inspiration, adheres to the craft held by Kings immemorially. The object of the Vigils is to bring the Emperor to abandon his policy and defer to Scholarius?" "The Emperor assists in the Mystery," the Father answered, vaguely.
To the others on the right he glanced next, with a gracious bend of the head, and then to those on the left. In. the latter quarter he recognized Scholarius, and covertly smiled; if Gregory had taken seat on the left, Scholarius would certainly have crossed to the right. There was no such thing as compromise in his intolerant nature.
As if power and final judgment were things for distribution amongst a number of equals! As if one body were better of a hundred heads! Who does not know that two wills equally authorized mean the absence of all will! Of the foundations of God Chaos alone is unorganized; and to such likeness Scholarius would reduce Christendom! God forbid!
