Excerpt from Third Book of Reading Lessons
Among the moral and religious pieces in prose and poetry, the pupils of the Christian Schools will recognize the effusions of one whose voice once supplied the lessons now furnished by his writings, and whose living example impressed the moral which his memory must illustrate for the future. The look of attention and the tone of benevolence, in which these lessons were conveyed, will indeed be missed, but his spirit will still speak to the hearts of those over whom he bent with more than pa rental solicitude. In recalling the memory of one who, for their sakes, forsook not only the first circle of literary distinction, but the more endearing one of kindred and of home, it will not fail also to convey the salutary truth, that the highest attainments of the scholar may be still further exalted and ennobled by religion; that the lustre of genius never appears to such advantage as through the veil of humility; and that the moral beauty of virtue itself acquires an additional charm when exercised in the cause of charity.
