MEMORIAL TO FATHER JoGUEs.
Lecture on Life and Achievements Of
Catholic Missionary.

The life and deeds of Father Isaac Jogues.
one of the early Jesuit missionaries to this
country, were eloquently portrayed to a
large audience at the Columbia Theater
last evening by Rev. T. ]. Campbell. s. J.,
of New York, who is endeavoring TO COL
lect funds with which to make up records
that will be presented to the ecclesiastical
court at Rome with the object of obtaining
the canonization OF Father Jogues and TO
erect a chapel and memorial to him at the
scene of his work and death at Auriesville.
Montgomery county. New York.
Father JOgueS was the forerunner ana
pathfinder for the famous Father Marquette.
1t was explained. He was taken prisoner.
tortured and put to death In October,
1916. near the place where 1t is proposed
to erect the memorial chapel.
Father Campbell was introduced by JUS
tice White of the United States Supreme
Court The meeting was presided over by
Mgr. Falconio, papel legate. and large
number of prominent men occupied seats
on the stage. including Justice Brewer OF
the United States Supreme Court and DR..
Charles w. Needham. president of the
George Washington University. Father
Campbell told the story of the life of Father
Jogues simply. but eloquently. He spoke of
the journeys of the priest In the west and
of how he erected a cross overlooking the
valley of the Mississippi In 1641. when
Father Marquette was but four years old
Father Jogues also discovered Lake Mich
igan and Lake George, the speaker said.
The scenes of the most stupendous iabors
of the missionary was in the state of New
York, and 1t was here that he was finally
put to death after hideous torture by the
Indians The place has been located after
careful research by Gen. John s. Clark OF
Auburn. The village of Auriesville Is To-
Gated about 115 miles from New York city
and about forty miles west of Albany. A
part of the property where the missionary
is believed to have been finally slain was
purchased by the Jesuit order twenty years
ago aided by bishops. priests and laymen.
and 1t is now the endeavor OF the society to
secure funds for the erection of suitable
chapel and statue.
