Página 64 - Prior's benevolence, her active, laborious, untiring, disinterested efforts ta do good, were •what particularly distinguished her. She lived not for herself, but to relieve human misery, and win souls to Christ. The world was her field of labor, and every son and daughter of Adam shared in her sympathies.
