started the work of mercy to the best of their ability, treating the sick with immense love and compassion. Though they were not conversant
with local language (Telugu) and the customs and practices of the people, they always had a nod or a sweet smile an understanding, sympathetic
look which brought wonders. It is startling to reckon that within a month the sick found their way to the sisters and sisters in their turn
where the refuse of the sick and the suffering. |
