Whatever be the case, in going to this locality, I will be almost in the centre of the islands under my jurisdiction.  From there the mission can be extended and developed in Papuasia&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;this term seems to refer to New Guinea -- translator’s note&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and the archipelagoes of the North and the South.  Workers, only workers and those fervent in prayer; men with a strong interior and prayer life, men of courage; in a word, holy priests and holy catechist Brothers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;are needed, he seems to imply -- translator’s note&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  You see by the map that the island of &#039;&#039;Pounipet&#039;&#039;, once conquered, gives us immediate entry to the vast archipelago of the Carolines; there, there is abundant material for apostolic zeal.  Oh! &#039;&#039;Messis multa&#039;&#039; [Great is the harvest!] &#039;&#039;Rogamus Dominum messis ut operariorum numerum adaugeat&#039;&#039; [Let us ask the Lord of the harvest that he may add to the number of workers -- cf Luke 10.2].&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
