Then St. Francis—so the legends tells us—sits down at table with St. Blaise and St. Os-wald, the friends of St. Francis, and feeds themso that they become very strong. Those saints aremore to my mind than that foolish fellow Sty-lites or the dour St. Bernard, who, being plaguedwith the flies on a hot day, excommunicatedthem, and they all dropped down dead. Forlove, joy, and peace are the gifts of the Spirit;226 KALEV
