[255.1] It is to be observed, however, that the friends of agricultural improvement in Strasburg used their interest to get the merits of their pastor known in Paris; and the consequence was that he was rewarded with a gold medal after having worked fifty-one years in the unnoticed useful obscurity of his parish. Altogether his golden pastorate lasted for the long space of fifty-nine years. [255.2] Westcott, _Gospel of the Resurrection_ (1867), p. 96. [261.1] Westcott, _Gospel of the Resurrection_, p. 98.
