would be crowned with complete

give and devote their lives to bet
ter the human race, to help the
needy, to raise orphans, to educate
the poor, and any compensation
with them is no object, as we
know that if their institution is
not moro successful in q financial
way, it is because the idea of char.
ity is too deeply rooted with that
noble convent. Therefore all the
efforts of the Sisters to raise mo.
ney is to improve their convent,
pay their obligations, and extend
their christian work in tho com.

cumulate wealth, but to extend
their help to those who need it.
And We again say. that the people
