Mrs. Lorraine called to the little
maid busy in the next room, and at
once Martha appeared on the thresh-
old. II am much interested, Martha"

very WELL" Martha answered her,
and it was only a few minutes until
the nun arrived. Alice thanked her
for her coming, then said: Il am most
anxious to know whether or not / am

teaching of the Church very clearly"
Yes, indeed" Alice assented, "and
it has seemed as though the author
was speaking to me personally while

with every modern convenience, which
exists for the purpose of carrying the
Christ and His truth into far isolated
places where He is unknown, or per-

It was late that afternoon the
hour in which the nuns were engaged
in their religious exercises when a.
postuIant came to tell Alice that one
of the priests from the Jesuit College
