Finances. 
(From the 3rd Catalogue.) 
Though the College of Bengal be at a great distance, no 
Provincial ever neglected to send thither at the right time 
the necessary labourers. If, at any time, it had not sufficient 
revenues for the a aaa of its subjects, the Superiors did 
not omit maintaining them; and now, that according to the 
will of the fatdiciex there ought to be in it three of ours, we 
must all the more endeavour that subjects be not wanting to 
minister to the salvation of the neighbour. But, alas! for the 
Provincials to send ours two by two to Bengal is the same (God 
allowing) as for death to summon them to the tribunal of God, 
either on the way, or shortly after their arrival in the College. 
So, last year, and shortly before, it happened that five of ours 
spies life with death, and the Province has not the men 
to take their place. In the College there is at present only the 
Rector ; he is maintained, and two others will be maintained— 
if they can be found—from the revenues of the foundation.
