REV PHILIP GORDON CHIPPEWA
UNIVERSITY HAS BEEN
FOR MISSIONARY AND LECTURE AMONG RED MEN

Rev. Philip B. Gordon. Chippewa In
dian priest of the diocese of Superior
has been named missionary and lee
turer to work among the Indians by
Cardinal Gibbons. president of the IN
dian bureau of Catholic Missions
Rev Gordon is at present attending
the Catholic University of America
preparing himself for the work he
will take up in the near future.
The honor of being ordained a priest
was but once before in the history of
the country accorded to red man,
and that a descendant of the great
chief Hole in the Day should be chosen
spiritual adviser to the Chippewas is
regarded as not only a fitting tribute
to the young priest. but to the memory
of his great-great-grandfa who
as head chief of all the tribes in Wis
consin and Minnesota three generations
ago was noted as man of rare Judg-
ment. and to whom was intrusted the
selection of all the reservations In the
twin states.
The old loghouse where "ri-gish-ko-
gi-jik" (the Indian name of Rev. Cor
don) was born is still standing at Cor
don, the little village in Douglas coun-
ty, Wis, which received its name from
Antoine Gordon, grandfather of the
young priest. In the heart of these
primeval woods in the st. Crotx coun-
try Rev. Gordon was born twenty nine
years ago. His mother came from the
Les Sourtes d'Ore1lles band Of Chippe-
was, one of the last bands to be reach
ed by the missionaries. Her Indian
name is "Ki-ta-ge-kwe," which means
.The Deerslayer." and she is Christian.

River reservation. to which place the
parents Of Rev Gordon had moved
Here he, remained for four years, work
ing in the lumber camps nearby dur
ing the winter months.
AS he expresses II in his character
istic fashion, Il disappeared from civil
iZation and the madding crowds ig-

was good to get near to nature 1t
was during this period, when but flf-
teen, that he took the teachers exam
ination for a certificate for Ashland
county, Wis. succeeding in his deter
mination to secure the coveted bit of
paper.
After graduating from st. Mary's 8
School he entered the State Normal.
Military College of ST. Thomas. at st.
Paul, Mimi, where, under the patronage
of Archbishop Ireland, he remained for
five years. After a year in the st. Paul
Seminary he went to the American
College at Rome, and there finished his
course in philosophy. after which he
went to Innsbruck University, in south
spent several years. While in Europe
his summers were spent in Touralne,
with an old French cure. who actedAas
his private tutor and to whom Rev.
Gordon feels he owes much.
Upon his return to America he spent
another year in the seminary at st.
Paul. Mimi, and for three months pre-
vious to his ordination Rev. Gordon
went into a prolonged retreat in the
Abbey of St. Johns with the Benedic-
tine Fathers.

who had baptized Rev. Gordon,

sented an entertainment during the
afternoon. and thus was passed what
will probably go down in history as
the most momentous event in the an
nails Of the Chippewa tribe.
For several months following his
ordination Rev. Gordon labored on
his native Chippewa missions, but lat
er was invited by Rev. William H.
Ketcham of the bureau of Catholic In

ly of Des Moines. now a suffragan. TO
that of a coadjutor In the cases OF
Kansas and Colorado almost the entire
work of the Jurisdiction will he thrown
upon the coadjutor.

Bishop Longley being elected bishop OF

Reports from Newark are to the effect
that the new bishop may be eithr a
suffraaen or coadjutor, as shall be
determined upon later. The difference,
as may he explained. relates to right
of succession in case of death of the
diocesan, both being alike in spiritual
