JESUIT COSTUME, IN SOUTHERN INDIA.

Stricklan

THE JESUIT IN INDIA:

ADDRESSED TO ALL WHO ARE INTERESTED

IN THE

Foreign Missions.

Lives of good men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime,
And, departing, leave behind us

Foot prints on the sands of time;
Foot-prints that perhaps another,
Sailing o'er life's solemn main,
A forlorn and ship-wrecked brother,
Seeing, shall take heart again.

Let us, then, be up and doing,
With a heart for any fate,
Still achieving, still pursuing,
Learn to labour and to wait.

LONDON:

BURNS & LAMBERT, 17 PORTMAN STREET.

1852.

THE Writer has spent four years on the Madura Mission in Southern India, and here describes the past history, the present state, and future prospects of this promising field of Evangelical labour.

By letters received from India since this book was put in the printer's hands, we are informed that two more of our clergymen have fallen victims to climate and privation.

Many valuable lives might be saved by sending the sick fathers to the hills for a change of air-but the poverty of the Mission renders this impossible.

Subscriptions will be thankfully received by Rev. JAMES BROWNHILL, S.J. 9 Hill-street, Berkeley-square; V. Rev. Dr. CURTIS, S.J. St. Fr. Xaviers, Upper Gardiner-street, Dublin; THOMAS BARNEWALL, Esq. Commercial Bank of London, 6, Henrietta-street, Covent-garden; and the Joint Stock Bank, Pall Mall.
