OF SAINTHOOD 



by Pasteur in the most perplexing 

 period of his life: 



"GOD GRANT THAT BY MY PERSEVER- 

 ING LABORS I MAY BRING A LITTLE 

 STONE TO THE FRAIL AND ILL-ASSURED 

 EDIFICE OF OUR KNOWLEDGE OF THOSE 

 DEEP MYSTERIES OF LlFE AND DEATH 

 WHERE ALL OUR INTELLECTS HAVE 

 SO LAMENTABLY FAILED."
