Shepherds Christmas

Shepherds Christmas
To find this place
Was not too much a task
For us who on
Our flockS keep watchful
eye.
Often this cave
Has sheltered us before,
Which a stranger
Might heedlessly pass by.
To know the Lamb of God
Easy for us
And offer Him
All other lambs with love.
How kind to us
He is, Who comes SO small,
So close to home,
With friendly stars above.

litics. there Is no other public
figure with enough build-up to
challenge Premier Diem for
leadership Of the country. Even
the French. who now are pretty
sour on Premier Diem, won't
suggest anyone to succeed him.
This is the biggest problem
which must be dealt with by
Gen. j. Lawton Collins. Presi-
dent Eisenhower's representa-
tive here. as he reports in Wash
ington. Premier Diem is, indeed.
the only strong figure in the
present Viet-Namese govern
ment. Below him things become
progressively worse. Probably the
most efficient arm Of govern
ment has been-embarrassingly
the police as operated by the
Binh Xuyen Society which now
defleS Premier Diem.
Take Graft
Under Binh Xuyen. the police
have taken graft at the top. but
in their dealings with the pop
ulation they often have been
more honest and fair than many
Oriental police forces.
Generally, however. employees
Of the Viet-Namese government
are agonizingly inefficient when
judged by Western standards.
They unfortunately must tackle
problems Of resettling $4,000
refugees from the North, estab-
fishing order in Red-evacuated
areas Of the South, and a myriad
Of other tasks that would stagger
even a highly skilled civil service.
In the midst of this snake-pit
are French intriguers. Some
have peddled arms to the sects
who oppose Premier Diem.
Other Frenchmen work with
the sects politically. The infer
ence is that they help guide the
sects on how to bring down the
Diem government. All Of this
aggravates and exploits the de-
ficiencies so prevalent in the gov
ernment apparatus.
The sect leaders themselves
are generally selfish persons
without the mental scope to un-
derstand how much their tactics
are hurting Wet Nam. This ten
dency toward self centered
thinking extends to the sect fol-
lowers and to the people Of South
Viet Nam generally.
How these uneducated, small
thinking people can be welded

into a firm anti-Communist bloc
is a puzzle which the propagan-
dists of the United States Infor-
nation Service tackle with verve.
They pound the Vietnamese
with motion pictures, leaflets,
books and gimmicks such as q
pull-out card to illustrate the
idea that bloody Communists are
supporting Ho while he pretends
to seek peace.
Some day. perhaps. all of the
American effort-military, eco
nomic, political and propaganda
suddenly will coalesce the
South Vietnamese into a body
firm enough to Withstand the
shocks to come.
Meanwhile, the Western pow
ers are asking only that Wet
Nam overcome its internal enc
mics. The Manila pact pledges
the United States and seven
other countries to rush to Wet
Nam's aid should it be attacked
openly by Communist soldiers.
The 100,000-man army which
South Wet Nam expects to have
at the end Of the year could not
hope to be more than o shield
against overt aggression.
South Wet Nam feels free to
concentrate on its internal prob
lens.
The indications are, however,
that the Vietnamese people
uneducated, disorganized and po-
litical confused-may well find
even their domestic problems too
much to handle.

most conspicuous of all the Jesuit
missionaries. Thomas Campbell, S.
j., in his Pioneer Priests tells of
his many distinctions; our only
interest is in his writings. The ref
erences to him and his letters in
the Jesuit Relations are intermin-
able.
Thwaites in his Jesuit Relations
found only five letters of Jogues,
and he has no definition of the
word Ohio. Francis X Talbot, S.J.,
in his Saint Among SaUngeS, The
Life Of Isaac JogueS uses twenty
one letters of Jogues, who men
tions Ohio several times and in one
place gives its meaning: the Beau
tiful River"
With Jogues and Bruyas, to
make perfect trilogy, Father Jo-
seph de Bonnecamp, S.J., must be
mentioned in connection with
Ohio's genesis. Like Bruyas, he was
filled with the spirit of Jogues
when he volunteered for the per-
ilous Celeron expedition that chal-
lenged both British and Indian at
tackS while circumna vi igating,
south, west, north and east of
what is as near as possible the ac-
tual boundaries by water of the
present state of Ohio. Father Bon
necamp's map of the journey ap-
pears in all the best illustrated
histories of the state. Conspicuous
among its several important fea-
lures are the words "0HIO OU LA
BELLE" written in large letters
beginning near the site of the
present Cincinnati and advancing
against the downfiow to the pres
ent Wheeling In the Journal OF

is to the Journals of Celeron and
Bonnecamp that we owe our knowl-
edge of this first recorded voyage
down La Belle Riviere, and with
this expedition of 1749 begins the
authentic history of the Ohio Riv-
err; and, he might have added, of
Ohio state.
No doubt Ohio's eight million
religious-minded people and their
friends, and especially the children
in Ohio, will be gladdened, and
the gaity of their future celebra-
tions made more endearing and
lasting through the consciousness
in many minds, down long ages,
of this initial conservation of the
name of their state, their home.

Toxic or Kyoto, Japanese gentle
men saluting one another, saying
"Ohio" very distinctly. They say
"Ohio Gozaimasu" but the first
word is unmistakably the name of
our state. When asked for an eX-
PLANTATION, the reply is that, like
the American Hello" it is mean
ingless; it is just an ancient friend
ly greeting; how il originated no
one seems to know. Certainly this
old pagan "Ohio" carries no con
Secration.
The term was equally pagan here
in America until Saint Isaac
Jogues baptized it. He found the
word wandering as waif along
the banks of the rivers of New
York State where he was captive
of the cruel lroquois three hundred
years ago. Savage as they were,
these Indians had not lost all sense
of the beautiful and whenever
they came upon scene of fascinat-
ing waterscape their delight broke
out into an exclamation that Fa-
ther Jogues wrote down as "O-io."
(What he actually wrote was O-io-
que, which means 'dt the beautiful
river.") There it is; philologists rec
ognize this as the origin, lin writ
ten language by man whose
name we know, of the name of
one OF Americas great common
wealths. A Providence has brought
the word, across the mountains TO
a permanent fastness, equally ap-
propriately described as the
Beautiful River" O-io. Need it be
pointed out that this writing, done
by mangled hands that were be-
fore the next snowfall to be froz-
en- in a martyrs death, was bap-
tism in blood, a singular consecra-
tion.
The originator OF this claim for
Father Jogues is not, as might be
thought, some devotee of his, as
John Culinary Shea; or some en-
thusiast over the missions, as the
Protestant Bishop of California,
William Ingraham Kip, but the
cold meticulouSly accurate author
of the Wilderness Trail, MIR.
Charles A. Hanna. His work is a
heavily documented account of the
spearhead OF white civilization into
the northern acknowledgements.
Mr. Hanna first evidences for us
that the Iroquoian 10" means
beautiful or fine. Father Potter,
whose glossary of the Huron Ian
guage was published by the Ca.
madam government, gives the same
definition.
