n which Fiske speaks of him:
"In contemplating such a life as that of Las Casas, all words of
eulogy seem weak and frivolous. The historian can only bow in
reverent awe before a figure which is, in some respects, the most
beautiful and sublime in the annals of Christianity since the
Apostolic age. When now and then in the course of the centuries
God's providence brings such a life into the world, the memory of
it must be cherished by mankind as one of its most precious and
sacred possessions. For the thoughts, the words, the deeds, of such
a man there is no death. The sphere of their influence goes on
widening forever. They bud, they blossom, they bear fruit, from age
to age."
