fe may be thus summarised. He brought back to God and to morality
many souls who had gone to materialism and vice. He founded pretty well
everywhere 750 Refuges for the unfortunate; he found work for those who
had none; he despised human respect in order to do good."

The Little Republican, Paris

"It is a very exalted moral figure which has disappeared from this
world, as well as even more than a person singularly famous. If he
became a preacher, he was certainly born an apostle. He had the genius

conceived the idea of evangelising these masses, and to bring them along
with the Christian light, physical comfort, and moral union.

"An intelligent work, humane in its principles, beautiful in its
aspirations, it merits that we salute with respect the remains of him
who undertook it with all his disinterestedness and all his heart."

"The world has to mourn the death of one of the noblest men who ever
lived, of a man who undiscouraged by scorn, contempt, and continual
mockery, kept o
