Detail of the Father Rasle Monument in Madison, Maine: "Rev. Sebastian Rasle, a French Jesuit missionary, for many years the first evangelist among the Illinois and the Hurons, and afterwards for thirty-four years a true apostle in the faith and love of Christ among the Abenakies, unafraid of dangers, and giving witness that he was prepared for death, this most excellent pastor, on the 23rd day of August, 1724, fell in this place, at the time of the destruction and slaughter of the town of Norridgewock. To him and his children, dead in Christ, Benedict Fenwick, bishop at Boston, has erected and dedicated this monument, this 23rd of August, A.D. 1833."
