GREAT WORK OF PHILANTROPY The work among the lepers in China will bring great results, as among all the efforts for the welfare of suffering humanity, it is no doubt one of the greatest, because it will stand to all as a practical example of true philanthropy, and becaure the poor lepers are easily satisfied.

After seven years among the lepera of that island he went back to America and then came to China to investigate the leper situation here. The awful conditions existing here fired kim with beroic zeal in behalf of these afflicted people, and he at once conceived the idea of forming a colony for the care of the lepers near Canton. Ia reference to this project more will be heard from Father Conrardy anon.
FabConrardy first became interested in the work of Father Damien through the news papers and when he preferred his services to the martyr of Molokai in 1878 they were de clined, as at the time they were not immediately needed.

"No," Father Courardy emphatically replied. Our injunction is: To love our neighbours.' All can be admitted-Christians or non-Christ ians. We are going to work for the lepers as men among men. We will receive as many at the resources at our command will enable ut to care for them."
"You are not asking for local assistance?" "No, neither from the Church or anybody else.
