The Minister of the Imperial Court in Addis Ababa asked me a few searching questions: "What do you want from the Government? Nothing. I have come only to offer my Sisters to work among the poor suffering people. "What will your Sisters do?" "We give wholehearted free service to the poorest of the poor." "What qualifications to they have?" "We try to bring tender love and compassion to the unwanted, to the unloved." "Do you preach to the people trying to convert them?" "Our works of love reveal to the suffering poor the love of God for them."
