First Sentence

THE indomitable resolution of the great St. Francis Xavier after he had completed his work in Japan, to introduce Christianity into China, resisted so long by the Portuguese authorities at Goa and elsewhere, and finally frustrated through the impediments thrown by them in his way, forms at once a mournful and an inspiring incident in the early history of missionary labours in the East, and gave a new and stronger energy to those who took up his great work, suspended for a season, only to be resumed by a successor his equal in zeal, but greatly his superior in learning, Father Matteo Ricci, a member of the same Society.
