In an effort to combat atheism Robespierre and others of the National Convention scheduled a Fête de l'Être Suprême on 8 June 1794 the culmination of which was to be the symbolic destruction of the statue of Atheism by fire and the emergence of Wisdom from the remains. Unfortunately the figure of Wisdom was so badly smeared in soot that the audience laughed. This was his speech to inspire the people and to assure them of the Supreme Being and of his support of their notable cause. M & W IV 29526-40 de l'Imprimerie Nationale unknown
