opinion of T, I. Joseps, a deacon in
the Syrian Church, who is a divinity

terview with the Toronto Globe, Mr.
Joseps presented the thrilling histor-
ical background of the Syrian Church

establishment in Malabar, is accepted
as a part of India's zaatianal life.

lof the apostle by a fanatical Bran -
man, there is erected a church as a

priests were ordained by St. Thamas.
Recent discoveries have unearth
'ed what are believed to be the ruins
of the original churches founded by
St. Thomas; and situated in the heart
of an ea ensive, forest haunted by
wild and'l'eroeious animals and dead-
ly. poisonous snakes. It is the hope
if .the, Syrian Church' that the Gov-
ernment of India will give ,these ruins

1 ',Through trials and persecutions
;the Syrian Church has continued to
hold fast ,to the faith and to -day,
?with' 5'00 churches, 'numbers in the
.seven dioceses' 900,000 people. Cher-
ished among the possessions of the
!Syrian Church are authentic records
dating back to A.D. 400, also ancient
copper plates inscribed' with privi-
leges granted the church by the In-
dian:"Government. On the ovalis of
one church there hangs three crosses,
with signs 'oh either, side '. showing
that at some time: in the church's
history there was a direct connection
with Persia.
During the fourth century, Thomas
of Canna, together with seventy Sy-
roan families andtwo bishops, set

the Globe questioned whether Mr.
Joseps would also have to' grow "a
Sowing beard. The answer .was in
the affirmative.
' . Malabar, explained the deacon, is
recognized as one of the districts of
India boasting the most educated.
people. Some 70 high :schools have
been established in Malabar and the
women are also encouraged' to follow
educational courses, An independent
