The carters, the nurse, the domestic servants, all gave accounts consistent with each other; the route and the various adventures of the child were plainly detailed, from its birth till its arrival at the village of Descoutoux.
We have felt our own unworthiness. We have asked ourselves the serious question, Do we make a good and complete use of the advantages we possess of the instruction afforded us of the great examples set before us of the Word of God laid freely open for us?

Nor should I speak of this process of education as past, for any one, be he as old as he may.
