In every country of the civilized world
Sisters of Charity are known. Not only
do they minister to the spiritual and in
tellectual needs of the charges committed
to their care, but they also minister to
their bodily needs.
With SO many children to take care Of
and to protect from climate and disease
these wise and prudent Sisters have found

A Discovery Worth Making.

A prisoner in one of our State peniten-
tiaries writes that he thoroughly compre-
bends the kindness of his unkind condi-
tion." He has learned to trust "the fight
against inhosspitablle surroundings" to be
resist the adversities which he is likely to
encounter after he is released. How for
tunate would the world be if all men
could learn to see the kindness in unkind-
ness. Not only would the rigor of the law
then always work out it's purposed object
of reclamation and restoration, as it seems
to be doing in this case, but under the inf
nitely juster government Of God sinners
would always turn back to Him from His
benefcent punishments. Yea, even Chris
tians would forbear to murmur at Attic
tions and necessities until they saw what
quality of character their Lord desired to
strengthen in them by His loving disci-
pine. Chicago Interior.

Energy is Eternal.

Who is there who dares to say that when
old age is reached there is not as much
laid by in that soul wrapped in its weary
body as there was in the infant full of lat
ent power? We know not where the in
fant's forces come from, nor where the
dying mans energy goes to, but if nature
teaches us anything it teaches us that
forces such as these are eternal In the same
sense that matter is eternal and space end.
