For those tribes, pacified and converted to the true Faith, having once tasted the.charms of a civilized and christian life, are mot to be contented with the mere passing visits of an apostolic Missionary, though it be he who has called them from their social misery to the genial light of the Gospel.

 Those poor neophites, though willing to assist us; can offer nothing to our Missioners save the sad spectacle of their deplorable misery.
