Random Reminiscences of Men and Events

CHAPTER VII
4/22

The walls of sectarian exclusiveness are fast disappearing, as they should, and the best people are standing shoulder to shoulder as they attack the great problems of general uplift.
ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES Just here it occurs to me to testify to the fact that the Roman Catholic Church, as I have observed in my experience, has advanced a long way in this direction.

I have been surprised to learn how far a given sum of money has gone in the hands of priests and nuns, and how really effective is their use of it.

I fully appreciate the splendid service done by other workers in the field, but I have seen the organization of the Roman Church secure better results with a given sum of money than other Church organizations are accustomed to secure from the same expenditure.

I speak of this merely to point the value of the principle of organization, in which I believe so heartily.

It is unnecessary to dwell upon the centuries of experience which the Church of Rome has gone through to perfect a great power of organization.
Studying these problems has been a source of the greatest interest to me.
