Facts About Chuhari Cjliuluiri lies in one of the most thickly populated agricultural lands of the world. Within a radius of ten miles there are over 1000 villages and hamlets and a population of over 250,000. The bulk of this population is very poor. Their sole capital is frequently little more than the rags they.wear. Could you but see the vast swarms of bright little boys and girls running around, many of them only half clad and half fed, your heart would be touched with pity. The majority grow up in the darkness ofignorance and superstition. Ninety per cent, of them attend no school and therefore are shut off from the chance or ever learning the true religion ami tub way to heaven. Who will do his share towards- opening the Gate of Life and Heaven for these little ones in the name of Him Who said, “Let the little children come unto Me, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.” £2O will educate a native priest; CIO a native ' catechist, £2 will educate a native hoy or girl; or build a; little chapel or school; £1 will save a pagan child; 10/- will help feed an orphan.
