Not illustrated. 1881 Excerpt: ...from whom holiness flowed in a copious stream through all the members of the mystic body--the Church. The process has been described from numerous passages of St. Paul's Epistles. It briefly explains the supernatural, nay, divine character of Christianity, and carries with it an essential holiness as a necessary consequence. It consists not only in the presence and influence of Christ, who, as He promised, "abides with us," but also in the "indwelling of the Holy Ghost" who resides in the Christian's heart as in a temple, according to St. Paul's expressions. If this sublime truth is destined to be, to the end of time, the firm ground on which our belief in the Church's sanctity rests, it must have appeared with a greater degree of excellence at the beginning of Christianity, when we know from the Acts of the Apostles and from the apostolic Epistles that there was then a superabundant effusion of the Holy Spirit's gifts, far superior to whatever we can witness in our day.-Still, every Christian knows and firmly believes that if there is at this moment an ever-flowing source of sanctity in the Church, it is mainly owing to the divine influence of the Head over the members, and to the perpetual immanence of the Paraclete. The few facts, therefore, to whose recital the writer was naturally confined, and to which many more might have been added if time and space had allowed, receive a powerfully-increased strength when those a priori considerations, as they have been called, are kept in the mind with respect to those eastern races which were the first conquests of Christianity after Pales tine.

publicist rector Jesuit educator
Thebaud, Augustus J. was born on November 20, 1807 in Nantes, France.
He studied at first in the preparatory seminary at Nantes, then entered the grand séminaire and was ordained to the secular priesthood at the usual age.
He landed in the United States on 18 December 1838, and was called to the chair of chemistry at Saint Mary"s College, Kentucky, where he became rector in 1846. Before the end of that year however the Jesuits left Kentucky to take charge of Saint John"s College, Fordham, New York, which had been transferred to them from the Diocese of New York by Bishop Hughes. In the interval he taught the sciences for two years, 1851-1852, under Father Larkin, and the following eight years he spent as the pastor of Saint Joseph"s Church, Troy.
To this charge he returned after his second rectorship at Fordham and filled the position from 1863-1869, and again from 1873-1874.
The intervening years we find him at first in Montreal and then at Saint Joseph"s Church, Hudson City, New Jersey. After spending another year at Fordham, he was assigned to Saint Francis Xavier"s parish, New York, where he passed the rest of his days.
He died at Saint John"s College in 1885.
