Miss Drexel's Laudable Work. "Miss Drexel's object," said a friend of the Drexel family, "in taking this step which has attracted such widespread attention is simply to secure retirement from the world for several months, in order to know whether what she has had in her mind for some yearB past is God's will in her regarJ, aud if so, to become thoroughly acquainted with the interior life of a religious community. As almost every one knows, Miss Kate Drexel has been for a number of years interested in the Indian and colored missions.

' Miss Drexel feels that if a community of sisters could be established who would devote themselves exclusively to the education of Indian and colored girls a grand work would be accomplished for the civilization and moral and religious improvement of these peoples.

In retirement, therefore, and alone with God she wishes to find out, whether he will make known to her that such is his will. Miss Drexel has already devoted much of her personal attention to this work to which she now seeks to devote her entire time and fortune.
