At a con- ference meeting a member interest- ed in a number of poor Catholic families suggested applying the bulk to them, and the residue to Pro- testants in need. Ozanam flared up: "Gentlemen," he said, "if it be not clearly understood that we help the poor without distinction of creed, I shall immediately re- turn the money to the Protestant donors and say to them: Take it back: we are not worthy of your condence.”
