ill mtlllvfidlll To record any death, even that of a stranger, brings with it a feeling of sadness because of a natural sympathy with those who are left to mourn that death: but when the record tells the loss of one whom we loved, then, indeed, the inscription casts over the human heart the shadows of the Valley of Sorrow. We felt the truth of this during the past year when God in Hisprovidence willed to take from this world one who had endeared herself to all by the amiability of her disposition and had made herself specially useful to the community by her rare gifts of mind and heart--Sr. Mary Charles lseman. Sr. Mary Charles entered St. Mary's community in IS99, and from the time of her entrance to her death on December I4, l9l l, she labored with earnest zeal for the good of others and for her own sanctification. Her skill as a violinist was well known, and her entrance into the convent was considered by the musical world a great loss. But God called her to give up the passing glory of worldly honors and to dedicate her time to His service: she heard the Divine Call and responded to it with loving generosity. For the twelve years of her religious life her gifts were used only in the service of the Master in the community which now mourns her loss. While we cannot but regret her death, yet our faith teaches us that God calls His chil- dren Home when it is best for them to go, and so we bow in humble submission to His Holy Will, trusting that He has rewarded with eternal rest the soul of our friend and Sister. During the past few years Our Lady has taken to Heaven during her month one of our Sisters. This year she claimed dear, old Sr. Mary John Ryan, her devoted child and client, who died on May IZ. l9l2. r g One of the oldest members of the Community, Sr. Mary John faithfully labored dur- ing her long life, and several generations of Sisters and girls can bear willing testimony to her self-sacrifice in the interests of the Community. During her closing years she was not on active duty, but spent her time praying and doing little acts of kind thoughtfulness for the sick Sisters, and no doubt those whom she served and who preceded her to Heaven gave her a glad welcome to that happy Home where the Divine Master Himself is her reward forever. It is often said that words mean nothing to those whose hearts are wrung with grief, yet surely this cannot be so, because, after all, words are but the voice of the heart and must sooner or later find an echo, though perhaps faint in some other heart. We cannot indeed hope that our words will in the first hours of any grief bring comfort or peace to the sufferer, but we can and do hope that they will be an assuranfle of our sympathy-a 70
