The Remarkable Power of the Jesuits
and Their Ups and Downs
FRIDAY Is NOT AN UNLUCKY DAY.
Tho Custom Of Burying the Dead With
the Heads to the Westward.
wEBsrER'S TRIBUTE TO JOHN JAY

The recent election Of . new General Of
the Company of Jesus makes the question
"Who and what are the Jesuits 2" timely
In brief, Jesuit is the name commonly
given to a member of the Company OF
Jesus, q missionary order of the Roman
Catholic Church. The order has been Of
tremendous power, and its influence to-day
in the Roman church is far greater than the
number of its members would seem to war
rant. The Company of Jesus was founded
bv Don Ignatius de Loyola, q Spaniard, who
was converted while recovering from .
wound received in battle. Converted In
1921, he studied for several years, and In
1884 began to collect young men about him.
In 1887 he gave the name Company Of
Jesus" to his little band of followers They
offered themselves to the Pope as . special
militia in 1888, but were not recognized by
the Pope until 1910, when the bull Regimini
militantis ecclesi@ was issued, confirming the
company.
The company was made up on military
lines; its chief was General; absolute ooe-
dience was required OF every member.
Loyola was the first General, chosen In
1541 The company has always been inde-
pendent of the Pope, yielding to him only
when it chose, and has opposed and been
opposed by him on many occasions Al
ways, however, it has come out ahead.
When Loyola died in 1856 the company had
45 professed fathers, 1000 members and 100
houses
But the company has not always had
smooth sailing; it was expelled from Portu-
gal in 1859, and from France in 1857; they
were expelled from Spain in the same year,
and later from Naples and Parma. and fin
ally, in 1773, Pope Clement XIV, in the
bull dominues &C redemptor suppressed the
society," This bull gave as the reasons TOR
the suppression the Jesuits' defiance OF
their own constitution which forbade them
to enter into politics; their quarrels with
local bishops and priests not Jesuits: their
conformity to heather religious usages in
the East, and gave other reasona The
society at the time of its suppression had
%. 5S9 members, of whom II, ,295 were
priests and Al provinces The suppression
did not last very long; the society moved
into nom Catholic countries, and existed In
Russia and Prussia, until Plus VII revoked
the decree of suppression In 1914 since
then they have been driven out OF one
country Only to return q few years later.
Now, however, they are supposed TO con-
troll the Pope, whose brother, the late Car
dinal Pecci, was Jesuit, and the various
colleges OF the Holy See. The company Is

white teachers until the massacres OF 1888,
when Mtesa's son and successor, King
Mwauga, made war upon all the Christians
and common persecution drove them to-
cether for a while. Hatred of the whites
who were dividing his country into factions
in which he had no share, and fears that
other whites were coming to subyert MS
power and seat up" Uganda, led Mwanga
to kill Bishop Harrington and burn scores
of his Christian subjects to death. A picture
here shows one of the charred and black
ened frameworks upon which the victims
were slowly roasted. after their arms anu
feet had been cut of. The annals OF mar
tyrdom show no heroism more sublime than
that of the poor converts OF Uganda who
died for their faith, when they might have
purchased life by renouncmg 1t; and 1t il
easy to see how, before and after the perse-
cutions, such spirits. full OF ignorant enthu-
siasm. were filled with bitter hatred OF those
who, they believed, had espoused faiss
creed.
In 1887 the Christians, still united oy the
atrocities the King visited upon both sects,
succeeded in deposing him linen Two otner
factions came to the front kiwewa,
another son of Mtesa, had no sooner been
nut on the throne and divided the ofhces
among both Christian parties than the

Death and Flight for Christians.
They turned Kiwewa out of power, placed
Kalema, another royal son, on the throne,
and killed many of the Christians who took
refuge, one and all, in Buddu, the south
western province OF Uganda, while Oil their
white teachers skurried across the lake 70

medan control and the prospects OF tne
Christians were very dark. The poor iugl-
tive Mwanga took refuge with halt dozen e:
of his 5000 wives among the Catnono
Fathers, south of the lake, and was de-
pendent upon them for his daily bread
The bloodthirsty tyrant was now . sup
plant for charity and friendship and In MS
dire distress he became an alleged Cniis-
tian, and impressed the good fathers with
his sincerity as a Catholic while, a. the
same time, he wrote to the Churcn OF

your advice"

friends into the Church. Two weeks later
the Protestant missionary attended SUNDAY
service at q station of the Church of Eng
land. "All the preaching" he wrote "was
against Father Boucher Of Bufui He was
accused of making gods with his own
hands, of showing images of Christi
mother with movable eyes, of deceiving the
people by pretending to work miracles
These things were told in good faith no
doubt, but they were not true. Next morn
ing party OF the converted natives started
for Bufui to destroy Father Bouchier's 8
church, aud God only knows what would
have happened if we had not persuaded the
Rev. Mr.. Marson, the missionary in charge,
to overtake them and stop the e1pedi-
ton"
Here was a mob of barbarians, ''con-
verted" to the Christian faith, convinced
that their fathers had died with sin, be-
lieving every word their teachers uttered,
lnfuriated with the thought that Alse white
teachers were leading their friends astray.
and that men of their own blood, converts to
the Catholic faith were in league with the
Evil One. 1t is easy to imagine the feeling
Of bitterness and hatred that deepened and
intensified as the proselytes grew in num-
bers until il burst out in open flame. To-
day, there seems to be in Uganda only the
religion of the rife
Barning Christian Subjects to Death.

War Results From Religious Rivalries-
There is no doubt that the past seven
years of civil war are the result OF the
religious rivalries and political discords en-
gendered by white men who went to
Uganda to take blessings and not curses
there. Englishmen and Frenchmen kindled
a fire that they have been unable to subdue.
In Uganda, Protestant and Catholic teach
ers not only befuddled the untutored
natives with their theological differences,
but divided into sects and factions simple
people who had lived at peace with one an
other The bitterness and hatred thus en-
rendered have cost hundreds of lives. The
teachers themselves have been dismayed to
see their followers arrayed in hostile camps
which they could not control
One day when King Mtesa had the rival
teachers before him he said to them: "You
Protestants tell me that the Catholics make
idols and worship them, and that God is
displeased with such things; and you Cath
olics tell me that the Protestants long ago
deserted the true faith and are not among
Gods people. Between you both don't
know what to believe. Uganda did well
under her old religion and think L can do
no better than to cling to the Gods Of my
fathers" He kept his word to the day of
his death, and it might have been better for
his people if they had followed his example.
Almost Destroyed Catholic Church.
One day as a Protestant missionary
reached the town of Bufui on the edge of

be baptized by Father Boucher, who in

from ages back, races In all parts of the
world have buried their dead with their
heads to the west; not invariably, how
ever, but with great uniformity. Probably
the remote origin lies in the belief of an
immortality and re surrection, typifed by
the return of the sun every morning The
dead are buried so that when the time comes
they may face the sun which will wake
them. The first pastor of the church at
Easthampton, N. Y, it may be remarked,
directed that he be buried with his head to
the east, so that at the resurrection he might
face his congregation; but 50 general 10 the

Does history bear out the popular super.
stition as to Friday being an unlucky dayf

This question was probably suggested BY
the fact that Pittsburg celebrated Colum-
bus Day on a Friday. The day has cer-
tainly very fortunate side in the history
Of this country, especially SO far as Colum-
bus il concerned. The explorer may have
properly arranged some of his dates to show
his contempt for the existing superstition,
but however that may be, 1t is certain he
sailed away from Palos on his first voyage
on a Friday; on . Friday he discovered
land; arrived home again on Friday;
reached his PAMELA on his second voyage
on that day, started for his home again on
Friday, and discovered the mainland of
this continent on a Friday during his third
voyage. st. Augustine, the oldest town in
this country, was also founded on Friday.
On the same day the Mayfower made the
harbor of Provincetown and on Friday,
December %, 1920, made the final landing
at Plymouth Rock.
