Excerpt from Life and Life-Work of Mother Theodore Guérin: Foundress of the Sisters of Providence at St.-Mary-of-the-Woods, Vigo County, Indiana TO the Sisters Of Providence Of Ruille - sur-loir - if the sword Of persecution has not driven them from the cradle-home Of the Congregation - this volume will be likewise acceptable, chronicling, as it does, the virtues and life - work Of one of their own members. When Ruille gave to Indiana its pioneer Religious under the leadership Of Mother Theodore, it was not unconscious Of its sacrifice; but the greater glory Of God rose above every personal consideration. TO brides Of Christ in other portions Of the Lord's Vineyard, the life here presented will prove interest ing, it is hoped, the principles Of the religious state being the same always - the basis must be Gospel pre cept no matter what the form Of application.
