the mother of all alike. She converted

Twenty Thousand Saints
The list of saints who have been rec

one that embraces over 10000 names, &C
cording to Acta Sanctorum, stupendous
collection of the lives of the holy men
and women thus revered, which was be-
gun by the Jesuits in the seventeenth
century, and has not yet been completed
though the siXty-fifth volume has been
published. Among these thousands OF
saints there are only six Americans.
