“Father Hyacinthe.” Charles Loyson, a French pulpit orator, born in 1827. At the age of twenty-two he was ordained a priest. He was highly educated. Suspicions as to his doctrines were awakened, and he was summoned to appear before the pope, but cleared himself. Shortly after some speeches of his gave offense, and he was ordered to change his manner or be quiet, but he paid no heed. He was soon forbidden to preach, and threatened with excommunication. In 1869 he visited America, where he was warmly welcomed by many Protestants, but he declared he had no intention of leaving the Catholic Church. He protested against the doctrine of the pope’s infallibility, and defended the right of the clergy to marry. In 1870, on his return to France, the pope relieved him of his monastic vows, and he became a secular priest. In 1872 he was married to an American lady. He is now pastor of a church in Paris, a sort of independent Catholic church. P. 7.—“Huguenots,” hūˈgē-nots. The name applied to the French Reformers. Its origin is uncertain, some asserting that it was derived from one of the gates of the city of Tours, named Hugons, where the Protestants held their first assemblies. Others say it came from the name of their first leader, Hugues. P. 8.—“Dominican Order.” An order founded by St. Dominic, in 1216; “John Ruysbroek,” roisˈbrek. P. 12.—“Wittenberg,” vitˈten-bairg.
