He accepted tlie charge. There he dwelt in the very focus of superstition. But he did not conceal the truth. To the crowds who flocked to the con- vent in the hope of obtaining remission of their sins, he proclaimed the Gospel of Christ, and fiolemnly warned them against vain confidence. Such ministrations could not fail to be successiul. The revenues of the convent were indeed lessen- ed ; fewer offerings were made to the virgin ; but souls were saved.
