Tachienlu, Dec. 3.
Marie des Anges, Mother Superior zt the French hospital at the south gote. left Tachienlu on Monday for Mosi on the other side of the Yajagen pass, where she will take charge Of the Leper Asylum at Mosi and Mother St Marke, a German lady, will take'charge here in Tachienlu. We shall miss Marie des Anges very much as she has been a real help o all the foreign community in the city, A Canadian by birth and a rative of Montreal she is a perfectly charming lady end. a very capable nurse. Her kindness jand love flow out to all alike: the poor, sick, Chinese soldier; the wild and woolly Tibetan nomad; the sin-sick loma; the helpless orphan and the hungry beggar, all find a warm and sympathetic heart and a kindly hand from this Canadian Sister. Dirt and filth and disease and sickness and all manner of sores are seen daily outside the dispensary door. No one is turned away and the strong. friendly voice of the Mother Super-for brings hope and comfort and cheer to many a hopeless and cheerless sin sick individual.
This good lady was badly needed in Tachienlu but apparently a more needy work at Mosi called for her services. There are 150 lepers in the asylum and Mother St. Marko who hes just "come over the mountain looks very tired and worn out. Nursing in a leper asylum must demand all that the patient nurse can give specially where the lepers are all poor lepers and call not only for medical attention but for their daily bread and their night's shelter. This work is very exacting and demands all the time and energy of the Sisters and Friars at Mosi.
We saw Mother Marie before she left and she seemed perfectly delighted to cross the mountain and look after the lepers and no one can doubt the good work carried on by these noble French Canadian Sisters. Their days are spent among filth and sickness and disease but they have the joy of following one who stretched out His hand and touched the leper. The Canadian Sister sent over this little note just before she left: "Thanks for the news; I expect to leave to-morrow for Mosi. Sorry to leave such good friends as you; but we meet every day in prayers and love in the heart of our beloved Master. Best wishes ud thanks many for all your kind-and sweet sincere friendship.
in His divine service. M.
And Christ came to teach men love and yet the world is so full cí jealousy and hatred.
