19 1Rev. Baron itucius Gibapin, BD. EJ., ll. EJ. To a life devotedthroughout its whole extent to promoting human welfare, it should be a care with every one to build a monument in his own grateful remembrance. The best of all monuments, it is true, which can be reared to the work of men, is that book of remembrance in which, in the archives of the Divine Kingdom, the loyalty of citizenship therein is eternally recorded.
