But that the Most High should lend Himself in some way to the whim of the poor old men who do not want to be satisfied with chickens and turkeys to celebrate the feast of Saint Joseph, but who declare that they prefer a wild boar!… as if they could be found in the first barnyard that comes along! here, we confess, is something that goes beyond all our thoughts.
