Christian herald and signs of our times . a very diffi-cult task to secure actual evidence of participa-tion in the attack on the Parish , the correspondence between thisGovernment and Italy has greatly modified thesituation and removed all danger of the lynch-ing becoming an international question. There are Thousands of Idolators in Paris,where the worship of Buddha has spread to aremarkable extent.
