("Vie de Mgr.

Dupanloup," by Abbe Lagrange, pastoral notes of Mgr.

Dupanloup, I., 64.) "What has proved of most use to you in behalf of religion in your diocese during the last fifteen years?
Is it through this--is it through that?
No, it is through medals and crosses.

Whatever is given to these good people affords them pleasure; they like to have presents of Our Lord and the Blessed Virgin.
These objects, with them, stand for religion.

A father who comes with his child in his arms to receive the medal will not die without confessing himself."-- The reader will find on the clergy and peasantry in the south of France details and pictures taken from life in the novels of Ferdinand Fabre ("L'abbe Tigrane," "les Courbezons," "Lucifer,," "Barnabe," "Mon Oncle Celestin," "Xaviere," "Ma Vocation").].
