Book excerpt: Excerpt from Memoir of Mother Mary Gonzaga O'brien During the past few years, through war and pestilence, the world has been awakened to a new appreciation of the noble virtue of devotion to our neighbor and to our country as expressed by the now familiar term "service." Men were inspired to heroic action in the discovery of their power to aid their fellowmen. They learned with gratified surprise that the sacrifice such effort entailed brought a peace they had never found in self-indulgence. Spiritual forces struggled with the materialistic temper of the times, and prevailed. The new consciousness that life held things that were dearer than life quickened the pulse of the age. Men were transformed in the realization of the glory of suffering for other men, and they who excelled in the practical expression of this faith were extolled by all. They were the heroes of service. All this is well. It is right that these exemplars should restore man's ever decreasing confidence in human nature, intensify his sense of brotherhood, augment his love for his neighbor. We need all the benefits we can derive from the splendor of the deeds of our heroes, and we gratefully acknowledge our indebtedness.

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. Before, however, we accompany Mother Baptist on her one visit to the Old Country, we must find room for some particulars belonging to an earlier date. In the summer of 1868 there was a terrible outbreak of smallpox in San Francisco. The Sisters...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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.
