Abstract
T WOULD be easy to call the life of Vigil a sort of fairy story in itself with its sad moments transformed by spiritual magic into glad triumphs. One night as he lay in his cradle, a bullet meant for his father, editor of a country sheet known as La Ley, buried itself in the wood just over his head. He lost his mother when he was only a child, and his father when he was in his 'teens. Yet he forged all this misfortune into a great motive for overcoming obstacles and spreading good all about him. His story might be aptly chosen for a volume in the Horatio Alger series, with its sure formula of a poor boy facing fate, working hard, and achieving honor and fortune. But this would be a very superficial rendering of a great career whose real glory consists in a glowing spirituality and an immense love of children.'
