each morning and evening TO reach the
building. Father Harin. who is in charge
of Trinity parish. did not see his way clear
to establish temporary home for the SIS
tiers, as he is al present raising money ior
a new school building. In this new build
ing Father Harlin had determined that the
sisters would be quar- tered, but, as he dlo
not deem 1t advisable to procure a tenn
porary home for them In this section
Of the city, the mother superior or
the order after q consultation, withdreW
the order from the school. The Sisters
of Providence is a new order in the DIS
trict of Columbia, the main home or the
sisters being at Terre Haute, Ind. Re-
Gently the Sisters of Providence purchased
a large tract of land adjoining st. AIMS
Church. on the Tenleytown road, and nave
erected large building, which Will De
