Show METHODIST TRIBUTE TO LITTLE SISTER. The "Central Catholic" of Winnipeg, Manitoba, reproduces jfroni a daily paper of that city an item relative to a sermon recently delivered there by the Rev. S. P. Rose, a Methodist preacher, who was formerly, in Montreal. Dr. Rose's theme was self-sacrifice, self-sacrifice, and after citing a case of self-sacrifice as shown by one who died for his country, he passed on to the grander example of those heroes and heroines hero-ines who were never heard of, but who lived for their country, laying down their lives daily, and in this connection he spoke of the Sisters of Mercy who had entreated to be sent to the leper colony. This was a living death, beside which death on the battle-field was easy. .Then came, this tribute to the Sisters: "Criticise, the priests of Rome if you will, object to the doctrines of that church, as you have a perfect right to do. but let. no man in my presence flay auirht against the Sisterhoods of that church. The Sisters of the Poor jn Montreal are doing more work and better work for the relief of the poor and distressed in that city than any other organization." organiza-tion." ' ' ' ' : ! ' " - |
