SAINT AUGUSTINE was born in 354, at Tagaste in Africa. He was brought up in the Christian faith, but without receiving baptism. An ambitious schoolboy of brilliant talents and violent passions, he early lost both his faith and his innocence. He persisted in his irregular life until he was thirty-two. Being then at Milan as a professor of rhetoric, he tells us that the faith of his childhood had regained possession of his intellect, but that he could not as yet resolve to break the chains of evil habit. One day, however, stung to the heart by the account of some sudden conversions, be cried out, โThe unlearned rise and storm heaven, and we, with all our learning, for lack of heart lie wallowing here.โ He then withdrew into a garden, when a long and terrible conflict ensued. Suddenly a young fresh voice (he knows not whose) breaks in upon his strife with the words, โTake and read,โ and he lights upon the passage beginning, โWalk honestly as in the day.โ The battle was won. He received baptism, returned home, and gave all to the poor. At Hippo, where he settled, he was consecrated bishop in 395. For thirty-five years he was the center of ecclesiastical life in Africa, and the Churchโs mightiest champion against heresy; his writings have been accepted everywhere as one of the principal sources of devotional thought and theological speculation. He died in 430.
