Note 13 — Domesticated Natives—Origin—Character

A curious case of native religious philosophy was reported in a Manila newspaper.13 A milkman, accused by one of his customers of having adulterated the milk, of course denied it at first, and then, yielding to more potent argument than words, he confessed that he had diluted the milk with holy water from the church fonts, for at the same time that he committed the sin he was penitent.
