LA SALLE
Chefdeville, his relative, and Monsieur de
Maiulle,2 all three priests.
As for nearly ten years the Recollects
had endeavored to second the designs of the
Sieur de la Salle for the glory of God and
the sanctification of souls throughout the
vast countries of Louisiana, depending on
him from Fort Frontenac, and had accompanied
him on his expeditions, in which our
Father Gabriel was killed, he made it an
essential point to take some of our fathers
to labor in concert to establish the kingdom
of God in these new countries. For this
purpose he applied to the Rev. Father Hyacinth
le Febvre, who had been twice provincial
of our province of St. Anthony, in Artois,
and was then, for the second time, provincial
of that of St. Denis, in France, who,
wishing to second with all his power the
pious intentions of the Sieur de la Salle,
granted him the religious he asked, namely,
Father Zenobius Membre, superior of the
mission, and Fathers Maximus Le Clercq
and Anastasius Douay, all three of our
province of St. Anthony, the first having
been for four years the inseparable companion
of the Sieur de la Salle during his
discovery on land; the second had served
['Father D'Esmanville, or Dainmaville, was
sent instead.]
