While
occupied with various duties appertaining to his position, about October
10, 1635, Champlain was laid prostrate by a stroke of paralysis. In his
last illness, he was attended by his friend and spiritual adviser,
Charles Lalemant, the author of the _Relation of 1626_, and, during the
previous ten years, a most efficient coadjutor in his work. At length, on
Christmas Day, 1635, the pious and amiable founder of Quebec breathed his
last, bequeathing his blessing to his bereaved people, together with the
memory of his virtues and of his great services.
