Not illustrated. 1906 edition. Excerpt: ... "The true priest, the true religious has worldwide sympathies. Divine love has replaced, or rather elevated and ennobled, human affection in his heart."--O'Brien. The heart, finely-developed or perverted, plays a strong part in the lives of notable men; it does not in all men, but that is only because of the limitations of their nature.

This is the priest whose high office and ministry of the Holies impels him to shape his life closely by that of Christ.
