Identifier: CMMA I-2-f

Scope and Contents

Sister Beatrix asks McMaster to send his paper to them gratis for the benefit of their patients. They have had charge of the hospital since 1884, and the company furnishes reading matter, but nothing good. With good books and good papers they can do great good anomg the railroad patients. Nine young men have been instructed and received into the church by the chaplain Father Gregory Schlitt, O.S.F. . Their conversion often began with the reading of a Catholic book or paper. During this same time there were some eight or nine Catholics who had not been to confession for twenty or thirty years, and could not be induced to go. It is a great blessing for the Catholics that they got hold of the place. Most of the young railroad men who come from the East have not been to Church since leaving home. When they come to the Hospital they go to confession several times before leaving. :: I-2-f L. 4pp. 16mo.
