was born in Loan, eighty-seven miles north

priesthood for his lifework. From the first
the austere life of the Jesuits in the New
France appealed not only TO his imagind-
ton, but to his sense of duty. He longed
for the time when he could preach the gos-
pei to the heather In the undiscovered coun-
tries.
At % years of age he was sent to Quebeo
and thence to Ste. Sault Marie, where he
studied the languages of the Indian tribes.
So proficient did he become that within
three years he could converse in five OF
the languages, while befora his death he
