Show BURMESE DISPOSED TOWARD CONVERSION. "Three years ago, thanks be to God, three villages vil-lages Varan, Tatan and Koblia begged me for catechists and permitted me to destroy their idols," writes Rev. Arthur Pirovano, P. F. M., from Burma. Bur-ma. "I promised to send them native teachers who would instruct them in our holy religion. But, alas. I have been unable to keep my word, and they accuse me of having deceived them. Our new Bishop earnestly desires to extend God's kingdom in this wild region, but we are continually hampered ham-pered through the lack of resources. We could have native teachers if we had the means of maintaining main-taining them. The small quantity of rice they oh- I tain from the villagers is not nearly sufficient for their support. Will not good friends of the mis- : sions assist me. .to continue the evangelization of these poor people?" . - |
