FATHER ISAAC JOGUBS S.J. X 6 4 6 ORN at Orleans, France, on January 10, 1607, Jogues became a Jesuit, and was ordained in 1637. Apostle among the American Indians, he was likewise a pioneer explorer, being the first to plant the cross as far west as Sault Ste. Marie. He also discovered and named the Lake of the Blessed Sacrament, now Lake George. For six years, he labored among the Huron Indians; and was several times tortured by the warring Mohawks. He was beaten with rods, ran the gauntlet, stretched on his back and tied to stakes with arms and legs widely distended while burning coals were thrown upon his naked body. His arms were tied with thongs to a crosspole, and his body allowed to dangle in mid-air. The thumb and index finger of one hand were amputated, and those of the other hand so badly mutilated, that he could not say mass canonically. Pope Urban VIII granted a dispensation with the touching words — It would be shameful that a martyr of Christ be not allowed to drink the blood of Christ. Jogues was treacherously tomahawked at Ossernenon, now Auriesville, N.Y., on October 18, 1646, while entering an Indian cabin, to which he had been invited to dine. His head was staked on the village fence, and his body cast into the Mohawk River.
