Excerpt from The Schools of Charles the Great: And the Restoration of Education in the Ninth Century It was precisely when Christianity thus began to receive the unquestioning allegiance of the Latin race, that a new field of conquest Opened up before it amid the Teutonic na tions. The records of that conquest, although chequered with much that is melancholy and repulsive, still form un doubtedly one of the most glorious chapters in the history of the Church. As the thought and literature of subjugated Greece had led captive the conquering Roman, so the reli gion and culture of Christian Rome subdued the strong will and overthrew the gods of the victorious Teuton. The days of the decline of the Roman power were indeed, as has been truly said, the days of its greatest conquests; the victories gained on the Metauru s, at Pydna, and on the Halys, shine with but an evanescent lustre when compared with those won by the faith, the laws, and the institutions of Christian Rome.
