PREFACE
_Letter of the Most Reverend O. E. Mathieu,
Archbishop of Regina, to the Author_
REVEREND G. DALY, C.SS.R.,
St. John, N.B.
Dear Father,--
Quebec Province claims you as her son. There you lived for many years;
there you learned to admire the peaceful life and to appreciate the
genuine happiness of our patriarchal families; there you were an
eyewitness of the "bonne entente" and noble rivalry which exist between
the ethnical groups that go to make up its population.
At various times your sacred ministry has brought you in touch with the
other Eastern Provinces of our broad Dominion. A keen observer, you
readily grasped existing conditions and the mentality of the various
elements of our Canadian Population.
The year 1917 found you laboring in our beloved Province of
Saskatchewan, as Rector of our Cathedral. For three years you lived
with us. The possibilities of our great West soon appealed to your
enthusiastic heart. The various problems which here engage the
attention of the Church fired your soul with noble ambition. I shall
never forget the good you have done in the parish committed to your
care. I shall be ever grateful for the zeal with which you devoted
yourself, heart and soul, to the guidance of those under your charge.
You found your happiness in making others happy, remembering that
kindly actions alone give to our days their real value. Your priestly
heart understood that when one is in God's service he must not be
content with doing things in a half-hearted way or without willing
sacrifice.
