From the July 1911 issue of the Socialist Standard
“In societies such us ours, in which the inequality of fortune presents a striking contrast besides our political equality, the religious sentiment is the best means of reconciling and uniting together the rich and the poor….. It teaches the poor man to be patient and honest amid all temptations, to be confident of a brighter future here below, and to look beyond the world to the hope of a good reward in another and a higher sphere of existence.”—M. Chevalier

A bit of a mystery who 'M.Chevalier' was. Sadly, it's not Maurice. That would have been both cool and funny.
An educated guess points to Michel Chevalier. Simply because he was a Saint-Simonian utopian socialist in his youth.
