Line 1:
<noinclude>{{work}}</noinclude>==== CHAPTER XI—End of the Petit-Picpus ====
At the beginning of the Restoration, the convent of the Petit-Picpus was in its decay; this forms a part of the general death of the order, which, after the eighteenth century, has been disappearing like all the religious orders. Contemplation is, like prayer, one of humanity’s needs; but, like everything which the Revolution touched, it will be transformed, and from being hostile to social progress, it will become favorable to it.
Line 18 ⟶ 16:
