Bishop Byrne traced in detail the work done by the Sisters in this country from the time of the arrival of the original band of six nuns from France, “who came one hundred years ago, and devoted themselves between Carondelet and Cahokia, smiling, crying, fearing, daring, but over all winning and triumphing un til today the six are thousands, and the log hut of the little French vil lage is become the stately convent in the bosom of a great city, its walls bear marks of time and storm and fire, but, plainly reflect the beauty of the lives within. “In reverence we stand to call the names of Carondelet. Sister Febronie Fontbonne, Sister Delphine Font- bonne, both nieces of the great Moth er St. John Fontbonne. Sister Mar guerite Felicite Boute. Sister Febronie Chappellon, Sister Saint Protais De- boille, Sister Philomene Vilaine. “From humble beginnings little might, in human calculation, be ex pected. But the spirit of the found ers was of more than natural nobility; they were possessed of the nobility of grace, and strengthened in the bless ing of God. They turned to the wil derness and the impassable ways to seek their road of progress. “It is significant that orphans were among their first charges; that the Negro won their sympathy; and that they carried on their finger tips the silent language that reached the mind and heart of the deaf and dumb.” Bishop Adrian’s Installation at Nashville Cathedral May 6 —Courtesy of Davenport Catholic Messenger The Most Rev.

With the loss of faith in a Divine Christ, moral prin ciples lose their authority and pre cision; irreligion extinguishes piety, and the soul forsakes the fountains of the Saviour, which alone can gen erate moral power. “When Satan betrayed our first parents he deceived them with an alluring lie, telling them that they would be as gods. The promise was not kept. They forfeited the blessed ness of Paradise and brought upon themselves and their posterity a her- Pope Pius expressed great joy in receiving such a large number of his spiritual children representing so many different countries.
