Dubuque, Feb. 13.-After sixty years
spent In the closter, never having left
its confines for u day during that time.
Sister Mary Martha. one of the Oldest
members in the order of the Sisters
of Charity at Mount Carmel, has just
returned from visit with relatives IN
the western part OF this state.
Sister Martha, who is now IS years
old, entered the ssterhood sixty years
ago at the old mother house at Key
West During all these years she had
never left the convent for day, and
the trip which she has just completed
marked her first experience on rail-
road train. The services on the train
and the comfortable coaches were all
a source Of wonder and admiration for
Sister Martha, who delights in telling
of her first and only trip across the
fertile fields of Iowa
Sister Martha's kindly face is famil-
lar to all who have ever visited Mount
Carmel
During her long career as relig-
ious she has had complete charge of
the affairs, and never a day passed in
all these years that she did not relig-
ously perform her duties cheerfully
and lovingly. with the one thought
uppermost in her mind that in so
doing she was rendering beautiful the
dwelling place of Him to whom she
consecrated her life in the springtime
of youth.
