halls in which all her former pupils then apprentices or in
service could meet enjoy an afternoon's amusement sing
innocent songs or pious hymns and under the tuition of 'the
Sisters and intelligent charitable ladies who were taken into
the work were enabled to continue and partially perfect their
previous instruction. Sister Rosalie knew them all by name
where they were working hoW'much they received and how
they were doing. This undertaking she perfected by the asso-
ciation known as that of "The Good Counsel" wherein the
oldest members were united and each given a certain nutriber
of younger girls to oversee and instruct to encourage and
assist. There was a certain Sunday in each month when Sis-
ter Rosalie assembled all her children young and old for the
distribution of rewards or the issuing of reproach the latter
always -a painful but sometimes an imperative duty. When
forced to be severe in her words it was evident that she suf-
fered more than the party reprimanded and her advices and
warnings were rarely neglected or despised.
In the midst of all these enterprises she never said
"enough." t "A Sister of Charity" she loved to repeat "must
be a support upon which all who are fatigued have the right
to lean for assistance and consolation." The circle of labor
we have mentioned was that which her immediate witnesses
had determined but her influence was by no means limited
even to this extensive sphere. She never dreamt of. that ex-
clusiveness of spirit which imagines that all the poor in 'the
world is comprised in the little field we cultivate. "Every
worthy enterprise received her warmest sympathy. It was
she whogave the "Little Sisters of the Poor" their first fur-
niture and sent them the first "old man" as a gift. When the
St. Vincent de Paul Society was founded it was in her parlor
that it received its greatest impulse and the first few young
men who united in the mission of charity learned the. lessons
of its practical service from her lips.
