PREFATORY NOTE.
This volume is made up of separate sketches, historical or allegorical,having in some degree a bond of union in the idea of "the highersacrifice."
I am under obligations to Professor William R. Dudley for the use of aphotograph of a record of Father Serra.  This was secured through thekindness of the late Father Casanova, of Monterey.
