What wonder, then, that at the
mention of his name, a reverent look
comes into the eyes of those who
knew him, sudden seriousness into
the voice as when speaking of some
thing holy. Indeed, there are still
to be found men and women who in
voked his aid devoutly and confident
ly, and whose tears of affection flow
as they recall his many deeds of love
and heroism.
His mind was as great as his char
acter was beautiful, and his far
sighted policy outlined, at least in
vague way, every good work that has
since been accomplished in the do

the Feast of the Visitation, 1851, he
crowned it with his choicest bless

hop Cretin.
At the time he left France he was
parish priest of Ferney, the home of
Voltaire, where by his piety, zeal
and personal sancity he had done
much to counterfeit the evil influence
of that arch-infidel Mission work
had always been in his mind, with
China as the field of his labors; but
when his old friend, Bishop Loras,
pleaded for help, he decided in favor
of the western world.
Who shall describe him? Who
paint the humility that made him the
servant of all, the tenderness that
made him the father of all, the love
that radiated like the sons rays
from the fire of divine charity with

He diverted the tide of western
immigration, which had been flowing
toward the gold fields of California,
to the northwest, by establishing bu-
reaus of information and using the
press of the country to further Cath
olic immigration. Minnesota's rapid
advance to statehood is due, in some
measure, to his energy in this direc-
ton.
Within year after his arrival he

taught by members of his own house,

cured the Sisters of St. Joseph for
the girls school in the old chapel
annex. Our noble Archbishop, with
MS accustomed magnanimity, gives
him even the credit of awakening the
temperance sentiment which has al
ways been one of the distinguishing
marks of the diocese of st. Paul.
His daily life was a marvel of ac-
tivity-busy from five o'clock in the
morning until ten O'Clock at night,
He rang the angelus himself, an
: swered the door at any hour of the
night, and. Sunday after Sunday, he
said two masses and preached three
sermons. His death in the sixth year
OF his episcopate cast cloud of sor-
row over the whole city. Catholics
and non-Catholics alike mourned the
loss of one whose life had been an
example and an inspiration to all
who knew him.
Again the burden of responsibility
fell upon the shoulders of Father
Ravoux, and again he gladly laid it
down before the new bishop, whom
he called "a gift from Heaven"
For two years and five months. be-
tween the death of Bishop Cretin
and arrival of Bishop Grace, Father
Ravoux was administrator of the do
cese OF st. Paul and during that time
had bought the block on which the
cathedral now stands, and some val
liable property on Third and Bench
street.

tinued the work of his predecessor,

and his genius marshalled into active
service the best forces of the parish.
His sermons were masterpieces of
English; sublime in thought, ele-
CANT in diction, and delivered with
all the grace and power of the finish

spread until the cathedral overflowed
with rapt listeners whenever it was
known that he was to preach. No

Souls were perishing without the
light of faith or the consolation of
the sacraments, and, filled with di-
vine charity. these Christian pioneers
pressed resolutely onward.
On the 26th of April, 1910, on
the first boat of the season, Father
Galtier left Dubuque, and few
days later he landed at the foot of
Fort Smelling. There was no St.
Paul at the time, and Mendoza,
across the river from Fort Smelling,
being the only place where supplies
could be obtained, he selected it for
his place of residence.
A wilderness all about him. not
an acre under tillage; few scatter
ed families in huts on either side of
the river-this was his mission.
Did he finch from duty? No;
though, like brave soldier advanc-
ing to battle. he fully resalized his
position. Trials, sufferings and pri-
vations were to be his portion, but
armed with infinite patience, he
went among them, baptizing young
and old, calling back to their relig-
ious practices the careless and the
hardened, and spending himself in
long journeys through the wide terri
tory over which the few settlers were
scattered.
The following year the little log
chapel was built. so poor that, as
Father Galtier says, 1T would re-
mind one of the stable at Bethle-
hem" But under it's humble roof
the Holy Sacrifice was offered up;
the beautiful story was told again
and again; hymns that stirred the
heart with half forgotten memories
of childhood, and that brought to
their ears echoes of voices long
silent were sung; and through the
mist of unaccustomed tears the in
spired face of their pastor shone
with more than an earthly light.
The fall of the same year brought
Father Ravoux, who died some years
ago.

communication. We have in reply re-
peated the request made last week to
the German government that It should

Belgian neutrality as was given TO US
by France last week.
