LOYOLA warm, which they did with both hands, saying that Father de Brebeuf had been very brave to endure all the pain they had caused him, and that in drinking his blood they would become brave like him. Thus does Christopher Regnaut tell the story he heard from the lips of some of the Hurons who escaped. Today, in honour of John de Brebeuf and his heroic companions, a shrine of magnificent splendour stands on the banks of the River Wye, near Midland, within view of Georgian Bay, whose waters the Apostles of Huronia plied COLLEGE REVIEW in their missionary labours. Thousands of pilgrims each year journey over the holy ground, sanctified by the work and blood of the Martyrs. Truly their blood has brought forth a rich harvest of souls. Well, then, may we turn to Saint John de Brebeuf and proclaim him our national hero and Patron Saint and thank God for having given him to us— non fecit taliter omni nationi.

And then, in 1649, came the end. The savage Iroquois, who during the last few years had been harassing and pillaging the weakened Hurons, finally on March 16th, 1649, seized the villages of St. Louis and St. Ignace and led Father de Brebeuf and Lallemant to the stake. “Тһе Iroquois took them both and stripped them entirely naked and fastened each to a post.

After that they put on him a belt full of pitch and resin and set fire to it. This roasted the whole body. During all these torments Father de Brebeuf stood like a rock, insensible to fire and flame, which as- tonished all the bloodthirsty execu- tioners who tormented him. His zeal was so gteat that he preached continu- ally to those infidels to try to convert them. His tormentors were entaged against him for constantly speaking to са фе “== ЬЕ both their hands together. They tore the nails from their fingers. They beat them with a shower of blows with sticks on their shoulders, loins, legs and faces, no part of their body being exempt from this torment. Although Father de Brebeuf was overwhelmed by the weight of the blows, the holy man did not cease to speak to God and to encourage his fellow-captives to suffer well that they might die well. One barbarian took a kettle full of boiling water and poured it over the saint's head in derision of holy baptism. “After they had made him suffer other torments, the first of which was to heat hatchets red-hot and apply them them of God and their conversion. To prevent him from speaking of these things, they cut off his tongue and cut off upper and lower lips.

The monsters, seeing that the Father began to grow weak, made him sit down upon the ground, and one of them, taking a knife, cut off the skin from his skull.
