TERESA HIGGINSON

American Help for her Cause
Efforts to promote the cause of Teresa Higginson, to which end a meeting took place recently at Westminster are not confined to Great Britain.
In the United States that cause has a great sponsor in the ranks of Mother Seton's Sisters of Charity, whose works in the country include the conducting of the Academy of the Assumption at Wellesley Hills, Massachusetts. During the past two years the Academy has been the distributing centre in U.S.A., for all Teresa Higginson literature and petition forms.
The A Kempis Circle, a society of Boston school teachers which meets at this Academy, has secured upwards of 30,000 signatures of petitioners from all parts of the States, and 'from Canada. At the Circle's first meeting of the season, recently, a " Tereaa Higginson Committee " was formally established to promote and maintain interest in the cause. This is the first official organisation of its kind in the United States. The Committee has the recognition and approval of the Archbishop of Liverpool, and also the approbation and sanction of Cardinal O'Connell, Archbishop of Boston.
