The missionaries in whom he con-
fided his hopes and fear advised
him to pray.
The missionaries wanted to de-
velop native clergy so that the
church would have strong African
roots. The boy prayer for six
months before mastering courage
to brace his father. The reaction
was surprise:
81 have been thinking about that
myself. / think it would be good
for the whole family to become
Christians"
This was not simple decision,
even for family of prominence.
Witch doctors felt that Christianity
reduced their influence and chiefs
resisted the weakening of their
desrotic power. However, this
conversion later resulted in bring
ing the entire village into the faith.

hope you are never discouraged by

Christian charity would dim every

The cardinal, who was elevated
to that high office only a little
more than a year ago, sets such
an example, too.
He refuses to spend money on
himself. He borrowed a car until
he could afford a used one. He
lived with his priests in an over
crowded clay-brick rectory until a
heavy rain provided enough clay
mud for a simple six-room house
which remains but poorly fur
nished.
: He has no electricity, no tele-
phone, no running water.
There are nc servants.

also cleans the clay-brick, tin
rooted, bat-infested cathedral down
the hill in the middle of banana
plantation.

He had learned to read and write

When he went to the mission

In the seminary he learned Eng

At the major seminary in Ugada,

By the time, years later, that he
had added proficiency in Italian
French and German he was
equipped to step easily Utmost sit

confidence into a world far more
