FIRST OF A NOBLE BAND
FATHER MARTINEZ WAS sUPE-
RIOR OF THE FIRST AMERICAN
JEsUITs-PUT TO DEATH BY
THE INDIANS IN 1866.

Father Peter Martinez, Superior of
the first band of Jesuits that trod the
soil of America, was born in 1888 at
Feruel, little village in the North of
Spain. While yet mere boy he con-
secrated himself to Heaven by vow
of perpetual chastity. He entered
the Society of Jesus, for which at
first he felt an aversion, and soon be-
came noted for virtue and learning
When Menendez undertook the con-
quest of Florida, in 1865, he asked for
and obtained some Jesuit mission
aries. Father Martinez was appointed
superior.
Owing to an unexpected delay, how
ever, the Father did not sail with the
Admiral, but took passage several
months later in another expedition.
When the vessel in which the Fathers
sailed approached the coast of Florida,
| it separated from the rest of the
squadron, taking northern direction.
The captain, on nearing the shore, de-
sired few men to land in a yawl and
explore the country. All refused to
hazard their lives among the fierce
savages.
Finally, about dozen Belgians and
Spaniards offered to comply in case
Father Martinez was allowed to ac-
company them. He was informed of
this. The fearless priest, moved by
charity, was the first to leap into the
boat The exploring party landed,
but had scarcely landed when sud
den storm arose, driving the ship
which they had left far from the
shore. Would space permit, pages
might be filled with the adventures of
this brave Jesuit and his sorely-tried
companions in their efforts to create
a Spanish Settlement.
At one of the rivers which they
crossed the kindness of Father Mar.
tinez in waiting for two tardy Bel
gians caused his death. Rushing to
the boat, troop of hostile savages
seized the heroic priest, forced him
on shore, and began their murderous
work. With hands uplifted to Heaven
he received the repeated blows of
heavy club until life was extinct.
His death occurred on the 28th of
September, 1866, within about three
leagues of the mouth of the ST. Johns
River. And thus the good and fear
less Father Peter Martinez, the first
Jesuit who stepped on the soil of
America, baptized it with his martyr
blood.

value, and promised him immediate
entrance into heaven 5. From what
has been already said, the answer to
this question is evident. There is no
need of purgatory for a soul whose
sins are absolutely forgiven, that is
to say, the eternal guilt and temporal
punishment of which have been wash
ed away. Such souls are free from
the stains of sin and it's consequences
at the moment of death, and are at
once admitted to heaven. For such
there is no need of purgatorial
cleansing.

EARLY CATHOLIC JOURNALISM
FATHER SCHNEIDER FOUNDED
THE NEW YORK WEEKLY REG
ISTER WHICH DID WOMAN
WORK IN DEFENDING CATHOLIC
DOCTRINE AND PRACTICE.

Readers of the Catholic press of to-
day, with it's varied, well-managed,
and ably conducted newspapers, peri
odicals and other publications, will be
interested, writes J. A. Rooney, in the
reference to one of the ablest de-
tenders of the faith, the New York
Weekly Register and Catholic Diary.
It's editor from it's first issue, October
5, 1888, until it merged into the Free
mans Journal, was the famous Father
Joseph A. Schneider, who was or
dained by Bishop Dubois on Deem
Der "a, 1927. He was first sent to st.
Mary's, Albany, N. Y, then to old st.
Peters, Barclay Street, New York,
and next to Christ Church, then in
Ann Street, of which Father Varela
was pastor, and which he purchased
from the Episcopalians with his own
money.
This was the era of controversy.
Professionalism became alarmed at the
growth of Catholicity ascribed to in
creased immigration from Ireland,
which rose from 1909 in 1926 to
1880 in 1928 and $4,000 in 1887, as
well as the many notable conversions
recorded. From Cincinnati came the
news of $50 conversions in two years
and from Milwaukee of twenty in two
weeks. Other nearby conversions
were the Rev. Virgil Barber and
family in Maryland; DIR. S. G. Blythe
in Boston; Daniel Barber and family
in New Hampshire; DIR. Bowen Greene
of Saco, Me-; Colonel Dodge and
family of Pompey, N. Y; DR.. Coleman
of Albany, and Gardner Jones of New
York.
So many Protestants were becoming
Catholics that to fight this tendency
paper called "The Protestant" was is
sued under the editorship of ]. B.
Requa Misstatements and misrepre-
sensations were INDUCED in to an ex-
tent that would make The Menace
look like mild and timid output It
was to furnish means of publicly
answering these unprincipled attacks,
refuting the scandalous calumnies and
correcting the prejudices against the
Church that Father Schneider decided
to publish his paper.
The enemies of the Faith found in
him and in the Rev. Felix Varela, the
Rev. DIR. John Power, and the Rev.
G. F. Nevins, Stonyhurst man, who
all freely used the columns of the
paper, foemen worthy of their steel.
Their vigorous, logical and convincing
rejoinders to the absurd calumnies
then in vogue did much to champion
the faith and to make the public of
that day conyersant with the real ten
cts and practices of the Catholic
Church. Here is an instance of one
of their charges:
About this time several Protestant
ministers, among them the Rev. T.
Hartwell Horne, the Rev. John Brock
enridge, the Rev. William Brownlee,
the Rev. Thomas De Witt, with Dun
can Dunbar, Archibald Maclay and
William Patton, came out with a
charge that the Catholic clergy had
printed garbled edition of
the Rheims New Testament They
supported their charge by printing
what they called true version of the
Rheims Testament. Father Schnel-
Ter easily demolished their carefully
scheme by proving that their
edition was simply reprint of Tes-
