Inner binding from the Beaupre Antiphonary, Vol. 3 makes a beautiful work of art on its own in a combination craftsmanship and the vicissitudes of age. Illuminated in Hainaut ca. 1280 and completed in 1290, this collection of richly illuminated Cistercian manuscripts is a rare example of those being produced in Flanders at the end of the thirteenth century.

"You do not love yourself better than God loves you. You cannot shrink from pain more than He dislikes your bearing it; and if He puts it on you, it is as you would put it on yourself, if you would be wise, for a greater good afterwards.

God has created me to do Him some definite service; He has committed some work to me which He has not committed to another. I have my mission -- I may never know it in this life but I shall be told it in the next.  I am a link in a chain, a bond of connection between persons.  He has not created me for naught.  I shall do good, I shall do His work. I shall be an angel of peace, a preacher of truth in my own place while not intending it if I do but keep His commandments.

Therefore I will trust Him.  Whatever I am, I can never be thrown away.  If I am in sickness, my sickness may serve Him; in perplexity, my perplexity may serve Him.  If I am in sorrow, my sorrow may serve Him.  He does nothing in vain.  He knows what He is about.  He may take away my friends. He may throw me among strangers.  He may make me feel desolate, make my spirits sink, hide my future from me -- still He knows what He is about.

Let us feel what we really are--sinners attempting great things.  Let us simply obey God's will, whatever may come.  He can turn all things to our eternal good.  Easter day is preceded by the forty days of Lent, to show us that they only who sow in tears shall reap in joy. The more we do, the more shall we trust in Christ; and that surely is no morose doctrine, that leads us to soothe our selfish restlessness, and forget our fears, in the vision of the Incarnate Son of God."

~John Henry Newman

"Les libéraux de Québec-est à la cabane à sucre," Le Soleil. April 12, 1943. Page 3. ---- Un joyeux groupe d'excursionnistes s'étaient rendus hier à l'invitation de l'Association des Dames libérales de Québec-Est, pour une partie de sucre chez Morel, à Beaupré. On les voit ici photographiés à leur départ de la gare Ste-Anne. L'hon Oscar Drouin et l'hon. Wilfrid Hamel honoraient de leur présence ce joyeux groupe. On les distingue au premier rang, au centre, en compagnie de M. Louis Couturier, organisateur de cette partie de plaisir. (Photo du "Soleil")

I have been remiss in posting book photos as of late. This is a shame: A beautiful book is a treasure. The images here show a few of the lovely publications from The Book House for Children. The brightly-colored thirteen-volume set, edited by Olive Beaupre Miller, is from 1951. The exquisitely lovely four-volume My Book of History set, meanwhile, is from 1929.

Contractors for the B.C.-based, Canada-wide cleaning company Scrubbi say they're owed hundreds, and in some cases, thousands of dollars. "I've been trying to get my second pay period and they've owed me that for a month," said Melissa Beaupre, who says she's owed approximately $470. Beaupre and other contractors showed CTV News several emails from the company, citing "unexpected issues with our bank." Jessica Russell of Victoria says she's owed around $2,000 and is struggling to pay her bills. "It's completely and utterly unfair," said Russell, who claims she's sent dozens of emails to the company. "[They say] we're in a processing queue, it's the bank's fault." Bailey Wirth, also from Victoria, says she's owed more than $1,300.
