Those who are acquainted with the place assure us that as soon as the natives of India have for guides and teachers such as we are, that is, those whose whole conduct is above the suspicion of avarice, they will receive the religion of Christ. If we carry with us into that country the spirit of mortification, the absolute renunciation of worldly advantages, the perfect disinterestedness of which we here give a pattern, there is no doubt, they say, but that in a few years we shall have made the conquest of two or three kingdoms; that the natives will be induced to trust us in proportion as they see clearly that we are not moved by any temporal motives, but simply by the desire of saving their souls. St. Francis of Xavier
