Note 1 — JESUIT MISSIONS IN THE SEVENTEENTH CENTURY

From Murillo Velarde’s account of his order in the Philippines we extract such matter as describes their missions, their general labors in Manila for both Spaniards and natives, their methods of work, and some occurrences of special importance to them as an order. The “edifying instances,” and biographies of the Jesuit fathers, and other devotional reading it is necessary to omit here, as our limited space forbids its presentation. ↑
