f the first Bishop of New France.

Sleep your sleep, revered prelate, worthy son of crusaders and noble
successor of the apostles. Long and laborious was your task, and you
have well merited your repose beneath the flagstones of your seminary.
Long will the sons of future generations go there to spell out your
name,--the name of an admirable pastor, and, as the Church will tell us
doubtless before long, of a saint.
