| Quebec, 3rd January, 1880.
Monsienor,
Allow me, on the occasion of this fiftieth anniversary of your priesthood, to offer you the accompanying scrutoir,
I cling particularly to presenting you this gift in my official quality. I m'ght do so, it is true, individuaily ; the kindness you have so repeatediy shown me Would give me a right thereto ; buc you will approve me, if I efface myself in this circumstance, to recall only the numerous services rendered by you in the great cause of Public Instruction,
It is traditional in this department, from the time of the respected Dr. Meilleur to this day, that the interests of national education have ever found ia you a zealous, devoted and indefatigable patron. Others will publisk that, during these fifty years consecrated to God, you have -accomplished good and noble deud;s yet, as Superintendant of Public Tustruction, it is but my duty to proclaim that, during this half-crntury, you have never ceased to unite with the name of God, that of the father-lund, and that our schools, whose mission is to prepare our nation’s futurity, have ever found in you a friend as enlishtened as sincere.
To wish you, Monsignor, the prolongation of your career would be too ordinary. Let me rather say that you have honorably won:a right to repose ; yet, L would fain be assured at the same time, that you will not take advantage of this right, and that we shall possess in you, during many years to come, an active collaborator. :
Accept, Monsignor, the expression of my most respectful and devoted sentiments.
| G, Ouiuer, Supt. of Education
Prov. of Quebec.
