doubt that the church. and protestants generally had
little or faith that this class could converted but
he wished if possible to convince them to the con-

half of his Catholicism already Then-particularly
when isolated from the influence Of the Catholic priest

manner to excite his prejudces but by a colportcur

illustrating from his experience the vast influence it
excrted and the benehcial results it secured. In

position. that the Roman Catholic population were
susceptible and ready for conversion and that there
prevailed among them a general feeling on the subject

L. then traced the history OF the movement
in Ccyon. The first tracts they received there were
printed at Tranquibar, and were brought there by
who wished situation as schoolmaster He took
them with surprite but found they marked with
holy ashes showing that they had been afianced to
the idol gods. Thus, he said was it ever with your
tlacts where missionaries were not sent with them
they became Gonsecratod to the heather gods The
next tracts were parcel received commission from
lranquibar-the work of a missionary, one who saw
the advantage Of leaving his marks behind him. And
all thoud be impressed of sending out such mssiona
