Excerpt from Spirit of the Constitutions for the Religious Congregation of Poor School Sisters of Notre Dame: Devoted to the Education of Female Youth Praised be God, the Father of mercies and God of consolation, the Father of Light that illumines all men who love not darkness more than light! It dawns! Increasing brightness proclaims the final return of day, succeeding a long, fearful night. We begin to feel and behold the sad effects of that spirit which, at the dawn of this century, after long and tedious efforts, by secretly setting every engine at work, succeeded in overthrowing all that our ancestors, in the course of a thousand years, had erected for the benefit of the Church and State. But, despite all boasts, these innovaters have reared nothing that is satisfactory or durable. The leaders of the sophistic, covetous party proclaimd their watch-word to the world: "Down with superstition! On with the march of reason! Light!" They directed their warfare against Christian faith and its only true foster mother, the Holy Catholic Church. The children of the world, more prudent in the prosecution of their plans than the children of Light, aimed their chief blow at ecclesiastical institutions for the Christian Education of Youth. Suddenly all these establishments were suppressed, as if mown down with a scythe. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
