children graduated and left St Mary's school. Many too, have mar ried and have sent their children back to her classroom. Throughout the years did she provide for each of them, never growing tired of her work, awaiting each new year with joyful anticipation.
 At last, much to the sorrow oi her sisters in religion, much to the grief of her children and of all who knew her, Sister Margaret Loretta will no longer call the roll. This year, our holy friend must answer the roll of God. Long and zealously did she labor in this parish. Many are the names inscribed upon the registers of which she must render an account to God.
 So, my dear friends, in your char ity, especially you who have sat in Sister Margaret Loretta's classroom pray for her. Pray that God may give her the cherished reward of a lifetime of sacrifice. Pray that her black robes of surrender may be transformed into the gleaming white garments of salvation. Pray that even now, upon her anxious ears these words of God may be falling, Come, Spouse of Christ, re- cenve the crown which the Lord hath prepared for thee forever" In Thy mercy, o God. we pray Thee. grant her rest.
