Scope and Contents

Sister St. John writes her father from the Convent of the Holy Child Jesus. She received her father's letter and sympathizes with him concerning Alphonsus McMaster . God knows best about Alphonsus, and the boy has such lively faith that he will do good wherever he is. Sister Teresa of Jesus sent a very interesting and bright letter. Thursday and seems to be happy in her new life of sacrifice. She was pleased to hear from McMaster especially since she knows he dislikes letter-writing. Even though her body may show it, she is not weary but is full of energy and the feeling of appreciation that she can add her little sacrifices to the work for the salvation of souls. McMaster has often spoken of the beauties of the Divine Office at Christmas time and so she asks him to bring his breviary when he comes at Christmas so that she may look it over with him. :: I-2-d A.L.S. 3pp. 12mo.
