Bertrand Gaouette from Magog, Quebec, husband of Evelyne Proulx, passed away on Wednesday, September 19, 2018 at the age of 90 years. Two months before, at the July, 2018 meeting in Rougemont, Bertrand shared with us that he was suffering from cancer of the pancreas.
Bertrand was one of eighteen children raised in Wotton, Quebec. Four of his siblings passed away at an early age. One of his brothers became a priest, and one sister, a nun. He and his brother, Bernard, were the first single men to become full-time apostles of the Pilgrims of St. Michael in 1953, and have remained close associates since then. Bernard, now age 93, still attends the monthly meetings of the Pilgrims of St. Michael in Rougemont.
Bertrand Gaouette was one of the greatest advocates of the VERS DEMAIN and MICHAEL Journal message. For almost 65 years, he dedicated all of his leisure time to subscribing families to our magazines. For many years, he took 1,000 subscriptions or more. Even just one month before passing, Bertrand was engaged in the "door to door" crusade, and in his last year of life he collected 686 subscriptions!
Bertrand married at age 50. He and his wife, Evelyne, raised two children. However, family life did not prevent him from conducting his apostolate work non-stop until August, 2018.
On his death bed, in palliative care, Bertrand wrote: "I have traveled the Gaspe region and all of the Quebec and Ontario regions as far as Penetanguishene. As well as visiting families door to door, I had a list of some 100 people I visited each year for the last 32 years. I pray that God will send an apostle to replace me at this noble task of visiting families. Spreading the message of VERS DEMAIN and MICHAEL was my whole life and my joy, notwithstanding the weariness it entailed. God is good; he allowed me to ready myself."
We offer our sympathy to his wife and children, Jean-Baptiste and Raphael. And to you, Bertrand, we express our profound gratitude for your tireless devotion. You will now receive your reward a thousand fold in Heaven. This is our hope. And we know you will not forget your friends, the Pilgrims of Saint Michael.
In this special issue of the journal, MICHAEL, the reader will discover who are the true rulers of the world. We discuss that the current monetary system is a mechanism to control populations. The reader will come to understand that "crises" are created and that when governments attempt to get out of the grip of financial tyranny wars are waged.
An Efficient Financial System, written by Louis Even, is for the reader who has some understanding of the Douglas Social Credit monetary reform principles. Technical aspects and applications are discussed in short chapters dedicated to the three propositions, how equilibrium between prices and purchasing power can be achieved, the financing of private and public production, how a Social Dividend would be financed, and, finally, what would become of taxes under a Douglas Social Credit economy. Study this publication to better grasp the practical application of Douglas' work. 
Reflections of African bishops and priests after our weeks of study in Rougemont, Canada, on Economic Democracy, 2008-2018
The Social Dividend is one of three principles that comprise the Social Credit monetary reform which is the topic of this booklet. The Social Dividend is an income granted to each citizen from cradle to grave, with- out condition, regardless of employment status.
Economic Democracy is a book to explain Social Credit in lessons presented in logical order so it may be easier to the reader to grab the main principles of Social Credit rapidly and somehow easily.
In This Age of Plenty deals with Social Credit, but it does not exhaust the topic. Social Credit principles address social and political matters, as well as, or even more so, than economics and will put civilization on a new course.
From Debt to Prosperity outlines briefly the economic analysis and constructive proposals known as Social Credit.
