Father Edward Soren of Notre Dame.
brought with him on his return from one
of his visits to his native place, PARIS,
France, a native teacher Of French for
the Academy of st. Mary du Lac, says
Lippincott's. She was a charming Sister
In her gestures and manners and was
anxious to learn the English language.
She asked one of the American Sisters to
teach her the Lord Prayer in English
This American Sister did so with a
great deai of relish and apparent sport
And when the dear little Parisienne could
repeat her Pater Noster in the delightful
language used in this country she went
to the good Old priest, Father Soren, and
told him in French that she desired he
should hear her say her prayer In Eng
fish. Gravely granting her request the
amiable man listened with sober face AMI
gentle light in his eyes, while the lit
tie Sister repeated with earnestness the
ditty of:
"O.d brother Ben
Shot his goose and killed his hen,''
telling her beads with the same devotion
she did in saying Our Father in
French. At the conclusion of her prayer
Father Soren said:
That is well done, Sister. You have
acquired the language with great ease
and facility. But pray, tell me who was
the Sister that taught you so beautifully
She quickly gave the Sisters name and
asked in French.
But, my Father, do you think the Lord
heard me Alright, not being accustomed to
me in English?"
Yes, yes, my child; the Lord has fully
understood your prayer. 1t is not the
words, but the intent"
