THE MISSION TODAY.
1t was not until twelve years ago
! that the mission was reopened. Nearly
| the whole site of the old village, COM
prising ten acres, has been purchased. A
small octagonal oratory, large enough
for an altar and for a priest and his
server, stands on the brow of the hill
where the Indian torture platform
once was-and the gilt cross that sur
mounts it may be seen from far down
the valley. A glass plate in the front
! door enables visitors to pray before
the altar during the seasons when the
oratory is closed. Over the altar is a
beautiful statue of the virgin in plaster,
that has just replaced a, Pieta. This
statue will son be cast in bronze.
South of the oratory is a great cruel
fix, with a heroic sized figure of Christ,
and statues of the virgin and st. John
at the foot. This is called the Cal
vary"
Around this in a circular form is the
way of the cross with each station
marked by a large wooden cross. West
ward, at the top of the Hill of Prayer,
wooden steps lead up to the bluff into
the grounds at the entrance of the In
dian village, where Rene Goupil was
struck down with a tonlahawk. Here is
erected memorial cross recalling the
early missions; on the panels of the
base is inscribed:
The Blood of Martyrs is the Seed
of Christians
Near this spot Rene Goupil was slain
for the Sign of the Cross, September
29, 1912, and before and after, in differ
emf years, many other Christians, men
and women, companions and disciples Of
the missionaries, of French and various
Indian races
In memory Of the native converts of
the Mission-Hurons, Algonquins and
Iroquois-whose virtues, like those of
the primitive Christians shown in cap

"On this Indian village site the Mis-
sion of the Martyrs was founded in his
blood by Father Isaac Jogues, S. J.,
slain October IS, 1916. In this, the first
and chief Iroquois Mission, fourteen
priests of the Society of Jesus toiled and
suffered till it's destruction in 1884.
Erected for the 2O0th anniversary
The pilgrims who go there pray to
the martyred priests to intercede for
them. Many afflicted persons who have
visited the shrine claim to have been
cured of maladies which resisted all
medical treatment.

Much care and labor has been given
by many generations of Jesuit priests
to collect the data relating TO the stay
of the courageous priests among the
Indians and concerning all the incidents
leading UP to their deaths. These rec
ords go back to the time when the
league of the five nations of the Iro-
quois Indians-the Mohawks, the Onei-
das, the Onondagas, the Cayugas and
the Senecas-held undisputed sway
over the country between the Mohawk
and the Genesee. On August IA, 1912
Father Isaac Jogues, Rene Goupil and
William Couture, with several Chris
tan Hurons, were brought to Osser-
nenon (AuTiesvile), having been taken
captive while carrying supplies from
Quebec to the Huron mission. The
savages, young and old of both sexes,
were waiting along the bank and upon

and November of last year not more
than two thousand Catholics visited the
shrine at Aur1eSyfile, and OF these more
than three-fouEhS came from neigh
boring tCwns and cities. By the end of
October this year it is estimated that
nearly 10000 Pilgrims will have wor-
SHIPPED at the shrine.
This shrine is known IS the Queen
of Martyrs" in memory Of a Mohawk
Indian girl named Catherine Tegak-
witba. and known among her people
as the Lily OF the Mohawks." But
the establishing Of the shrine was not
due Sc much TO the Indian girl as it
was to two Jesuit priests, Father Isaac
Jogues and Father Rene Goupil, who
were put to a horribly cruel death by
tine Indians, while laboring to Chris
tianize them. Within a short time
these two priests and the Indian glri
viii be placed upon the calendar of
saints. An appeal for their beatifca-
ton was made a year ago by the So
cieIy of Jesus to the holy see, and
unanimous consent was given by the
fathers of the cctalcil.
Another reason for the great increase
in the pilgrimages this year is that
October Is will be the 250th anniversary
Of the death Of Father Jogues, he hav-
ing been struck down by the MoIawks
on that date in 1916. The shrine was
only established in 1884 by the Society
of Jesus, and outside of church circles
it attracted little or no attention until
the past year or two.

New York. 1t is a railway station of
the West Shore line, seven miles west
Of the Knickerbocher city of Amster-
dam, the county seat, and forty miles
west by north from Albany. The rail-
way runs along the south bank of the
Mohawk river, side by side with the
Erie canal, back of which rise the hills
forming the Mohawk valley tAurie,"
in the old New York Dutch, was the
same as Aaron. This was the name
of an old Indian chief who was the
last of his tribe, in the beginning of
the present century, to remain in the
home of his warrior ancestors. He
had a hut in a corner of the hillside
near the river, and, though poor Aurie
was a degraded and drunken old Iro-
QuoiS, he has left his name to the pic
turesque village.

Father Jogues lived among the Mo
hawks for more than year, gaining
friendship, and making converts of
more than seventy. He learned their
language well, and in 1914 left them
to return to France. He came back in

previous hardships, prepared to renew
