Excerpt from The Rise and Progress of the Province of St. Joseph of the Capuchin Order in the United States, 1857-1907 The ancient Roman historian Sallust, in his his tory Of the conspiracy of Catiline, sets forth the opinion that while the great men of every coun try are its greatest benefactors, yet those who record their deeds also deserve the gratitude of their fellow men. In truth, this opinion hardly needs proof, for if one of the principal services rendered to his fatherland by the self-sacrificing hero consists in rousing his fellow citizens and posterity to emulate his glorious example, then certainly those who publish the inspiring deeds of others are also the preachers and furtherers of virtue and self-sacrifice.
