Shortly more than four score years ago Father Jules Chevalier, M.S.C., was invited by Pope Leo XIII to send hif priests to the mission territory of New France and New Guinea. At this time New France was an island of 300 Cannibal Kings who ”lived to feast on long pig cooked in a grave of red hot coals," but from a pirate ship this island had appeared to be a tropical paradise, in reality it proved to be a veritable grave yard for its first unfortunate french settlers. Its beautiful green foliage was a media for a virulent malaria, volcanic disturbances were frequent, the rains came for eight months of each year, and the fierce, cun ning natives received the white settlers with a hungry joy. These head hunters worshipped idols, practiced sorcery and magic, and were avid believers In spiritism. Father Chevalier’s mis sionaries departed from Bar celona, Spain the same year they were invited, in the fall of 1881. Their venture was a very dan gerous one.

In 1902 four Sisters set sail for the Marshall Islands and three months later seven for the pagan soil of New Britain,They were the pioneer members of this new Congregation — the mustard seed that would soon spring up to be a vital mis sionary congregation dedicated to spreading the knowledge and love of Christ to all peoples. But in keeping with the para dox of Christ and all that is of Christ, the tree had to be pruned before it could grow. Five of these zealous Sisters were slain by hostile natives on August 13, 1904, in Balnlng, Consecrated with the blood of martyrs, the tree grew rapidly and its branches extended one by one to the islands of Liber, Tonga, New Ireland, New Britain, the Leper Colony of Analaua, then to Europe, South America, Africa, Australia, China, the United States, Italy, Spain, and soon, God willing, Korea, eoooiNi SHOE STORE SHOES FOR THE FAMILY 46 W, PARK SQ, MARIETTA, GEORGIA PHONE 43JMS11 FRED A.
