Father Casimir Aubert, was an Oblate respected by Eugene and a person with whom he shared many of his more private thoughts. Eugene confided to him:<\/h3>\n
\n

I am sorely tried by our Fathers in Canada. Fr. Baudrand, utterly outraged with the lack of agreement to be found in the ideas of Fr. Honorat and Fr. Telmon, has filled our houses with his exaggerated complaints… and it is 2000 leagues away that these things are happening! It is impossible for people around not to notice this disorder and our fine future in those regions is terribly compromised.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

In the midst of these woes, Eugene exclaimed:<\/h3>\n
\n

However, God works miracles for us. In spite of the difficulties caused by this treason…<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n

He gives thanks for the generosity of lay benefactors who generously gave material support to the missionaries, and he continues to give thanks for God’s blessings:<\/h3>\n
\n

\n

Two excellent priests have joined them, others are announced. The Bishops of Toronto and Quebec are asking for us.<\/strong><\/h3>\n

But I am fearful lest all will come to nothing through the fault of those unworthy sons who have no idea how to endure anything, sacrifice anything or excuse anything except their own faults. I am outraged as much as afflicted by such conduct.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/blockquote>\n
