For over two centuries after the
discovery of the American continent,
French missionaries crossed the seas
and preached the gospel to the aborigi-
nal inhabitants. They carried the torch
of faith in one hand and the torch of
civilization in the other. They ex-

Rochambeau.

THE name of Rochambeau, until
quite recently, was unknown to
most Americans. The unwilling of
the statue of this brave hero who
played an important part in the war
of independence, brings to light the all
most unforgotten history of French
sympathy with the struggling colonies.
Senators and members of congress,
when asked by correspondent of the
Transcript who Rochambeau was, an
swered:
"A Frenchman who was with Lafay-
cite"
"a Frenchman who gave money to
the cause of American independence
"a French officer who took part in
the revolutionary war" and
zone of the French who fought with
us at the battle of Brandywine."
He was a Frenchman who had for
years won many laurels in his native
land. In his bravery and military tao
tics King Louis XVI had the most
abiding faith. AS an expression of his
sympathy with the colonies seeking
their independence, the king sent Ro-
chambeau to aid them in their strug-
gle to be free men. His arrival in this
country was subsequent to Lafayette.
After landing he was placed in COM
mand of 5000 French soldiers who did
more than yeomanry work in bringing
the war to close. He took part in
the siege of Yorktown and materially
aided in its capture. After the war
closed he returned to his native coun-
try where he received universal plaud

Brutus the tickle Frenchmen during
the revolution charged their distin-
guished military leader, who shed lus-
ter on the French nation, with the ter
rible crime Of aristocracy, and being a
member of an old noble family. That
was too much for the red-handed revo-
lutionists, and the sentence of the
tribunal was death. Before the time
appointed for his execution came, the
tables We're turned and Robespierre
himself was condemned and executed.
and Rochambeau declared free After
he was liberated, he served his country
and stood in the front rank of military
commanders during a part of Ma
poleons reign. The honor paid to his

"THE PEOPLE OUGHT To READ

Inc Bible has been preserved by the

proverbs based upon some incident or

liberal education who is not acquaint-

Wyndham's InsoIence.

| THIEF SECRETARY WYNDHAM,
of course, like all English Off
Gals in Ireland. has the char
acteristic impudence of claiming to be
a better friend of the Irish people than
their own chosen representatives and
leaders. as William O'Brien noticed as
follows in his speech the other day
at Westport:
! "One of Mr.. Wyndhams favorite
pieces of insolence to suggest that for
political reasons we don't want to see
the landRquestion settled, and that we
are willing to leave our people in mis-
cry. Mr.. Wyndham, who is here to-
day and will be away tomorrow-Mr.
Wyndham, who unselfGhly accepts
$4,000 year of our money for defying
the will of ninety-five out of the hun
dred and three representatives of Ire
land-Mr. Wyndham modestly claims
to be the only person who has any
compassion for the Irish people or any
knowledge of their business; while we,
whose ears are filed every day of our
lives with heart-breaking stories, Of all
that our people have to suffer-we who
see around us every day, until our eyes
ache with the sight, those vast soli-
tudes of splendid land that might be
the salvation of the people-we are
mere professional agitators who ought
to go to Dublin castle to learn lessons
in morals, and in unselfishness, and in
compassion for the people,
Wyndham draws that salary of
500, 800 year out of the pockets of the
Irish people, and even though he were
their friend, he is surely we'll paid for
it. But the Irish themselves ought to
be considered as capable of knowing
who their friends are, and certainly
they don't count Mr.. Wyndham as one.
The man dare not and never does APP
pear on a public platform in Ireland
outside of Orange Belfast. When we
say he dare not, we do not mean that
any personal violence would be done to
him. We mean that he would not get
dozen Irishmen to listen to him in
any Irish part OF the country which
means four-ffths of it. If he stood
for election to parliament in any
Irish constituency of four-fifths of the
constituencies, he would not get a
dozen Irish votes. Yet he has the gall
to claim to be more of a friend to Ire
land than William O'Brien or John
Redmond or Michael Davitt Truly
there is no impudence to be compared
With the Anglo Saxon sample.

Those who were born and brought up
in the Catholic church are hardly dple
to understand the difficulties Protest
ants, especially Protestant clergymen'
encounter when taking into considera-
ton the Catholic church. The last root
of such prejudice had to be removed
by earnest prayer.
For years my heart has been longing
for the church which holds the prom
Use of infaliible teaching, the church
to which Christ promised and sent the
spirit of truth; the church to which
Christ promised that the gates of hell
should not prevail against her; the
church to the leader of which he said.
Behold, l am with you all days, even
unto the contamination Of the world;
the church which enjoys a sound and
solid organization; the church which
worships Almighty God in a proper
way; the church which lays the proper
stress on the most blessed sacrament
of the altar; the church which teaches
regeneration by baptism and the neces-
sity of infant baptism: the church
which insists upon private confession
and priestly absolution; the church
which upholds and teaches the COM
munion of saints and honOrs them.
To join this church has been the de-
sire of my heart for many years, and,
though I, when a Lutheran minister,
have faithfully discharged my duties
toward my church and my people, this
desire was in me and grew from year to
year, in spite of all changes of time,
place and circumstances, till I, by the
grace of God, found strength to come
to Port Angeles and request my old
friend, the Rev. Father Gribbin, to re-
ceive me into the mother church.
