Amen.' He did so with all the unction of his great soul and body. I asked him one day what hftd prompted hiin to change his faith, and 1 say this with ail Kindness, intending no hurt to your feelings, my dear friends. He answered : "The Little Sisters ol the Poor first cLow my attention to the Catholic Church. Their humble, >?<ily lives,, leaving home and hearth to minister to the outcast, the homeless, the aged, the forgotten o.%the world'."
