Gregory said of St. Benedict, '' habitavit secum. " A writer in the Dublin Review of January, 1864, says of the saintly Father Faber — the extract was found among Dr. McMullen's papers : " He had a thorough mistrust and dislike of all low views and compromises in serving God. He aspired both for himself and for others to the highest, not out of any rigor or- moroseness, nor out of any vain glorious affectation of sanctity, but from a deep and consistent desire, after the nearest union with God.... No one was more large in permitting all that is in- nocent and lawful; none more highminded in encouraging in- viting, urging men up the narrow path He had a kindly good- humored raillery for the vanities and singularities of silly pietism which reminds one of St. PhiUip of Neri's counsels of ruffs and high-heels. Certainly no one could hear him speak of the love and service of God without being attracted by it. It has been well said, that to make men love their country, the rulers must make it lovely, and it may be said of religion, that to make men love it, spiritual guides must make it lovely.
