Not illustrated. 1901 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER VII. IN CHARGE OF THE SMALLPOX HOSPITAL. When Mother Baptist had completed the long term of officex allowed to a Foundress, in May, 1867, she ceased to be Superioress and became Assistant to the new Reverend Mother, Mary Gabriel Brown; but after the shortest interval allowable, namely three years, the burden of "superiority" was laid upon her once more, as it was again and again in precisely similar circumstances until the end. This first break was considered a proper time for the execution of a project which seemed to many of the Community useful and even necessary--namely, that Mother Baptist should visit Europe and Ireland for the purpose of getting more suitable postulants, who were by no means numerous in this newest of the United States. But the Bishop of San Francisco, Dr. Alemany, held very strict and very wise views as to the general inexpediency of such journeys, and the idea was abandoned. Mother Baptist was called, as 1 "Six years by appointment and then the two triennials allowed by the Constitution," says the author of Leaves from the Annals of the Sisters of Mercy, who adds: . "To the great grief of her subjects she would uot accept a dispensation from Rome, which they unanimously desired." we have already said, on the first opportunity to fill again a double term of office, from 1870 to 1876; and, when in the latter year she was again free from those responsibilities, the project of a pilgrimage to Europe was revived, but it was not carried out until nearly two years later.

Excerpt from The Life of Mother Mary Baptist Russell: Sister of Mercy This allusion to her brother affords an excuse for inserting here a belated extract from one 0 Mother Baptist's letters. After speaking of a cousin of the same name who had just died, She goes on Our own dear Charles seems to prosper in every way. I only hope God is not allowing more success than is good for his eternal interests. His Woes to the Rich' are frightful. As charity is one of the chief means of turning riches to good account for here after, I must [then she suggests certain charitable works] I must also find out if he has sent a piano I asked him to send to our poor Sisters in a very poor place in England. This last sentence Speaks well for both brother and Sister. It is harder to ask another to do a charitable deed of that sort than it would be to do it oneself if it were in one's power. This Sister and brother, who have many points of resemblance in character, died in the same month of August, two years apart. It was Lord Russell Of Killowen who, to my surprise, suggested that our sister's life ought to be written. This attempt at fulfilment Of his wish is now dedicated affectionately to his memory. May they both rest in peace. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
