Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Testimony of an Escaped Novice From the Sisterhood of St. Joseph, Emmettsburg, Maryland, the Mother-House of the Sisters of Charity in the United States The history of this book is almost as remarkable as that of its subject. Shortly after Miss Bunkley had escaped from St. Joseph's in the manner she has stated in her narrative, the Superior of that convent published a defamatory letter against her. This decided Miss Bunkley not only to defend herself, but also to give an exhibition of convent life, as it had come under her observation, for the information and warning of her American countrymen; and, in coming to this determination, she did not act on her own judgment only, but availed herself of the advice of judicious friends, who believed that it was a sacred duty to the American community and the best interests of society to do so. In accordance with this resolution, she wrote a narrative of what she had seen and heard while in the institution of St. Joseph, and committed the same for revision, with other papers bearing on the subject, to a gentleman in Norfolk, Virginia, the city of her father's residence.

SUPERIOR'S LETTER. To the Editor of " The Citizen." "St. Joseph's, near SmmetUburg, December 1st, 1854. "Sir, --As numerous misrepresentations have appeared in the public prints in relation to Miss Josephine Bunkley's connection with and departure from our institution, I have, from a sense of duty, though with very great reluctance, concluded to communicate to you for publication the following statement of facts, exhibiting the exact truth of the matter. "About two years ago, Miss Bunkley, of her own accord, came here and made a spiritual retreat, that is, spent some days in meditation and prayer. She then expressed an ardent desire to become a Sister of Charity--a member of our society. As she was yet young, and a convert to the Catholic faith, she was required to take time for mature consideration, and was not received. One year after this she again applied by letter to be admitted as a candidate, and was authorised to come here on trial. She accordingly entered the novitiate, as others always do, to try her vocation, perfectly free to leave us at any hour, or on any day she might please to select, and with the express and often-repeated assurance given her by us, that she would do wrong to stay with us, unless she did so freely, and from the conviction that she was doing the will of God, and seeking her own happiness by remaining. "During the ten months that she was with us, she not only appeared happy, but constantly professed to he so, and thus continued to express herself up to the very eve of her departure. Everyone who knows anything of us at all, knows that she had only to say the word, and she could have left us without difficulty, and in a becoming manner, at any time she pleased. Many novices have...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from In the Early Days: Pages From the Annals of the Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, St. Joseph's Convent, Mount Carmel Dubuque, Iowa, 1833-1887 In the following pages we attempt to chronicle the heroic achievement of our Founders and our first members, and the not less noble efforts of their worthy and efficient successors, all for the glory of God and the good of souls. Our work will be acceptable we know, and will be a gratification to those who have so eagerly desired this record of the early days. That it has been so long delayed is attributable mainly to the virtue of self-effacement which characterized our revered Foundress of holy memory. The early Annalists faithfully recounted each trial, disappointment, failure and success, but a disastrous fire on May 15, 1849, destroyed these precious records. This, which seemed to be a serious loss, drew only a smile from Mother Clarke, who said: "God knows it all; that should be enough for us." Nor did she encourage a rewriting. Moreover, she positively forbade all mention of certain matters, supernatural favors, which God vouchsafed to grant her; the recital of these we reluctantly withhold. But for the edification of our young members, and to safeguard the traditions of the Institute, we shall try to reproduce some of the lost pages, depending for our information upon the narratives of several of the early companions of our Foundress, documents from our Archives, notes from our Annals, - gathering indeed from all available sources, presenting a compilation rather than an original work.
