mother Of missionaries and f,iIssionsr,
bishops. (among others Arehbishops
Lamy. Saluointe and Bourgade. md
Bishop Machebeuf hailing from theTe)
was his birthplace.
Born In 1867. he began his studies
in the college OF Billion. founded by
Charlemagne, and completed them in
the Laval university of Montreal, Cam
ada, graduating maxima cum laude,
at the head of his class. and merit
ing the title OF S. r. L., l.. e. Licenti-
ate of Sacred Theology. Ordained by
Archbishop Salpointe in September OF
1880 Mt Santa Fe, he was assigned to
the cathedral of that place. Two
years of jealous and effective work
as assistant, and afterwards as act
ing pastor of the cathedral, as prorec-
tor of Pecos, and chaplain of the Sis
tiers of Loretto showed his ability TO
such an extent that his archbishop
placed him in charge Of the Gallup
parish with residence, during the
first two years. at Cebolleta. The
parish, at that time. comprised a
territory of about 10000 square miles
and even now il comprises about TO-
900 square miles-an immense field
with its 20 Mexican villages and set
Elements, its fourteen Pueblo Indian
villages. its seven mining camps,
Fort Wingate and Gallup proper
enough TO overtax the abilities n
endurance Of a giant. Though not a
giant physically (being of old Gaul
stock), Father Julliard proved him
self. as far as it was possible for NOR
tai man, equal to this herculean task
not only by attending faithfully to
the spiritual wants of his parishion-
ers, but also by effectively assisting
them in their temporal needs.
New churches built at a Rafael
and San Jose, churches and chapels
restored or repaired and enlarged at
Acoma, Cebolleta and Gallup. the
beautiful grotto Of Our Lady of Por-
tales with the statue of Our Lady OF
Lourdes adjoining it. and the pastoral
residence at Gallup are permanent
monuments of his ability and zeal.
Amid all these exacting duties and
occupations he was ingenious in find
ing time to give vent to his literary
propensity in n series of brilliant ar
ticles published in French in the Mis-
sions Catalogues, in publishing his
Noticias Religlosas in Spanish for
five years and in publishing the
Pioneer. a monthly literary, political
and religious review of great merit,
devoted more especially to southwest
ern life.
His ability as an organizer showed
itself especially when the Clergy Re
lief union was established, whose
secretary he has been eVcr since its
foundation, whilst vast numbers wit
messed his thrilling %eloquence on the
occasions OF the funeral of the late
lamented Archbishop Bourgade and
OF the reception OF the Pallium of
His Grace, the Most Rev. j. B. Pita-
val, ID. D..
The great success attendant upon
his various activities and undertakings
in the past are IN earnest of his
success in the immense field before
him with its im~measurable POSSIBLE
ties.
His confreres in the ministry and
the host of friends and ac~quaintances
throughout the territory and beyond
regretting his loss, will certain
~ have their congratulations and their
good wishes follow him to
his wide field Of labor, commensur-
ate to his attainments and abilities;
'or which field of labor he will leave
m the 23rd of January, 1910.
