Praised for Poverty, Though Rich.

An awkward slip was made by the coadjutor of the Archbishop of Cambral, who preached a beautiful sermon over the body of his vicar general, praising the great charity of the man, who had entered the priesthood poor and had died still poorer. The next day the vicar general’s will was made public. After dividing 900,000 francs among his brothers and nephews, he left 450,000 francs to the Archbishop, the money being his savings while In office.
