A BIG FORTUNE
RENOUNCED BY NUN PROTESTAMT FATHER'S WILL. NEW YORK, Feb. 28. Forced by the will of her father to choose between sacrificing a fortune or renouncing her vows as a nun, Miss Grace Minford, a nun in the convent of the Dominican Sisters at Newark. New Jersey, has declared that she will not avail herself of worldly riches. “My Heavenly Father is richer far than my own father,” she said, “and my reward will be far greater.” Aliss Minford’s father, a Protestant, had for years bitterly opposed his daughter’s adoption of the Roman Catholic faith, and tried many times to persuade_her to leave the convent. In his will he directed that she should not receive a penny of his £500,000 estate if she persisted in adherence to her order or her church. The will provides, however, that if at any time she changes her mind she shall be automatically reinstated as heiress.
