Excerpt from Souvenir of the Episcopal Silver Jubilee of the Rt. Rev. J. L. Spalding, D. D: Bishop of Peoria Philadelphia, he was selected though but twenty-six years of age for the rare honor of preaching at the Council. His labors, on his return to Louisville, included the found ing of a parish for negroes, which, in spite of many difficulties, he completed and left in a flourishing condition after three years of zealous and persistent effort. In 1872 death ended the strenuous career of his illustrious uncle. Father Hecker, to whose keeping the archbishop's papers had been entrusted, persuaded that the records of a life so worthy should be cast in permanent form, set about finding some one equal to the task. His choice fell upon Father Spalding, who left his par ish in Louisville and took residence in the House of the Paul ist Fathers in New York in order to devote his uninterrupted thought to this labor of love.
