Show PROTESTANT'S TRIBUTE TO PRIESTS. W. B. Lord, an Englishman of Valparaiso, writing writ-ing in the Chilean Times of the earthquake, says: "In the afternoon our little party moved to the Congregation de los Sagrados Corazones. where are domiciled the French' Fathers. Their kindness and attention to fifteen hundred homeless persons, to say nothing of lhe wounded and sick, will always live in my memory. Here we were fed and housed, notwithstanding the enormous loss they had sustained sus-tained by the partial destruction of their large edifice edi-fice in Calle Indcpendencia. "After what 1 have seen during the past few days," declares this non-Catholic, in another' part of his article. "I will take off my hat to every Roman Catholic priest as long" as I live. They deserve de-serve it. I am not a religious man as the ordinary term goes, but the priests follow the teaching of Christ in the hour of need." |
