B. G. WILKINSON

By B. G. Wilkinson

Sister Chiellini has requested me to add a few lines to the letter printed above, which I do with pleasure. While at Rome, I could appreciate the conditions which made her work acceptable to the people. While one sees on the streets of Rome, in the course of one day, enough priests to last him the rest of his life, that does not say, by any means, that Rome or Italy is under the power of Catholicism. Far from it. And those who will go to the Italians, carrying the gospel in the gospel’s spirit of love, will find responsive hearts. The doors are open, but the country sadly needs workers.

I was much interested in Sister Chiellini’s recital of her mothers’ meetings, and also of the school for little children, the crèche, as she calls it. While present afflictions do not permit this sister to work now as she would like, she is earnestly awaiting the arrival of the workers for Rome. May the day speedily come when Rome shall at last be entered.
