Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from St. Louis Catholic Historical Review, Vol. 1 I am pleased to hear that you will soon issue the first number of The St. Louis Catholic Historical Review; and I hasten to congratulate the Historical Society and yourself upon its timely and commendable work. The Church of the Middle West, centering in St. Louis, possesses rich material for your publication. Documents, records, and reports, many and varied are at your disposal. Some are here at home; for others, you will have to look back to Spain, France, the Netherlands; and then Canada, Mexico, Florida, and the Isles of the Southern Seas, will furnish a retrospect of generous proportions. The collocation, interpretation and publication of these documents will be for you a fascinating work; and one which will deserve well of the Church of the West. Your publication will give permanent form to these documents; and will serve as the best foundation for a full and complete local Catholic history, the writer of which I am sanguine will soon appear. I presume you will follow what is called the historical style, giving us facts and figures and documents; but you will not fail, I am sure, to see back of these, and will surely record the courage, the enthusiasm and the sacrifices with which every page of our early history is replete. You will develop in your pages the picture of our Faiths first dawning here by the Father of Waters - of the pale pure light of that Faith´s first rising - of its splendid progress from the banks of the river out to the savannahs of the West. You will tell of the progress of the missionaries as they sought to civilize the Indian. You will join with them as they journey over the flower laden plains to where in the forest primeval dwelt the tented savage. War cries and peace cries there were in these days; as today; and yours will be the duty to tell how above the one and the other was lifted by consecrated hands the cross of the Crucified One. I am sure that your work telling the story beautiful of Faith´s beginnings in the West will be gladly welcomed by the many who now people the valley of the Mississippi, and preserve the Faith of the Fathers.
