By so doing yOU will greatly please the Sisters for they will realise that their work amongst you has not been in vain but has brought forth good fruit.

The success of the Sisters is due in a great measure to their many friends and benefactors who have always been ready to come to their help. I therefore avail of this op portunity to thank, on behalf of the Sisters, all the friends of the Italian and St. Francia Content, and I earnestly exhort them to continue to help the institution for they will realise in time, as the Sisters have done, that the real secret of true happiness is to make others happy.

A godown was all that the scanty means at the disposal of the sisters could afford at the time. Such premises were rented in Wanchai; and it was in a godown that the enlarged activities of the sisters found scope for their work in the sew district.. Only two sisters could be spared for the work-one, an Italian sister of the Cabozsian Order and another, a Chinese sister whose knowledge of the language was of invaluable help. The sisters' ärst duty was to gather together the women and children who stood in need of being instructed in thei religious duties, and two hours each day were devoted to the instrue tion of the little children in the rudiments of the Portuguese and Chinese languages.

Soon after, it was felt that the needs of the district demanded a permanent building for the carrying on of the work that had been begun in such an unobstrusive manner. Another need that made itself ap- parent was a shelter and an asylum for the women who had strayed. from the path of virtue or who were in danger of so goiaf.watery. It was then that Mother Stella
