Sister Doran, better known as Mother Doran, to which her frequent occupancy oi the highest position in the gift her community entitled her, was Spl venerated by a host of friends and visitors to whom, both in Kingston and Cornwall, she ministered ever with motherly tact and kindly cheerfulness. To her sis- ters in community she was all that the sweet name of mother and sister imply; by them her untimely death is mourned only as children mourn the loss of a cherished parent. To herseli alone is her death =a gain, her prayerfulness and piety, her gentleness and charity, her unselfish devotion to duty and ber untiring spirit of self-sacrifice will have won for her, we feel confident, a boun- teous reward from the Master who has 'promised to recompensceven 'the cup of water given in His name. Margaret Doran was born in Perth sixty-eight years ago, daughter of John Doran, 'a merchant of that town, who was beloved by all for his genial humor and unstinted char- ity. At the age of twenty-seven she became a member of the Lospital sis- terhood of St. Joseph in the Hotel Dieu of this city, and from that day to the moment of her death, during the entire length of her religious ca- reer, she never swerved from the steadiastness of purpose with which | she had vowed to serve God in the person of His poor and afflicted children.
