Farewell, my dear Sons, goodbye, you who are the highest honour of my ministry and of the reviving African Church.

They accuse it of human ambition; and yet you sacrifice everything to your duty, to the giving up of your life, with no hope except the austere joy of sacrifice and heavenly reward!

Do not be surprised, then, that a bishop, commissioned by the Holy See with part of the immense countries where this slavery still reigns supreme, I condemn it, by the holy altars, with the freedom of my ministry, and in the name of my God, I vow him a merciless war and I declare it anathema.

These emissaries of God, they are there, before your eyes, ready to depart to follow the voice of the Saviour, to spread his benefits far and wide.
