Show TENDER TRIBUTE. By a Protestant Episcopalian to the Sisters of St. Francis. A very slender tribute to the Catholic Cath-olic Sisters who devote their lives to nursing the sick is paid by a writer In the Living Church (Protestant Episcopalian) Episco-palian) in the following words: I remember a certain hospital, where I spent a blissful fortnight once when a university student. It was in charge of Roman Catholic Sisters of St. Francis; and the gentle Sister who attended me was of a great family (as the world reckons such things), spoke more languages than I knew then, had traveled over all Europe, and discussed Dante's Divine Comedy, dustpan dust-pan in hand, by my bed. I shall remember remem-ber Sister Ambrosia, and her colleague, the ever-smiling Sister Florentine, as long as I remember anything. It was a real grief to be "discharged cured," since it meant leaving that atmosphere of peace and sunshine. |
