Vincent de Paul (1581 - 1660) was a French Roman Catholic priest famous for dedicating his life to helping the poor. Canonized in 1737, he is considered a saint in the Anglican Communion and Catholic Church. Today, he is best remembered for his astonishing humility, compassion, and generosity. Contents include: "A Peasant's Son", "Slavery", "A Great Household", "The Galleys", "Mission Work", "The Grey Sisters", "The Foundlings", "At Court", "The Jansenists", "Troubles In Paris", etc. A. Forbes (1869 - 1936) was a Scottish religious author and member of the Society of the Sacred Heart.
