In October of that year. 60 Indian converts were baptized. A few 1 days later, two of them fled and spread an insurrection, which came 1 to a head in November when 800 1 naked savages stole down on the ’ defenseless mission by night. ’ Jayme and Foster, the two padres; two boys; a blacksmith, a earpen- " ter. four soldiers, made up the resi--1 dents. The little band was awakened in ' early morning after the place had been ransacked and the building ’ fired. Jayme,j going out to meet i the force, was beaten to death and his corpse tilled with arrows. The I other tpadre and his companions sought the guard house. The blacksmith fell on the way. but the ’ remainder held the fort and fought ' bravely back until the enemy fled 'lat daylight. ’ i Neophytes, who were unharmed ,; because they were Indians, came to ( their aid, and the guard from the . presidio, which had slept P®® c ®’ I fully during the night was notified. In 1803, an earthquake destroyed the mission. A new buidilng II was erected and completed in 181.. I When Spain ceded the country to Mexico, Echeandea, the first govj ernor, made his home here.

Paul of Tarsus \*as the greatest exponent of Ch> ir‘:an t ty to labor alone in the face of tremendous odds. Starting as an unbeliever, conforming to the closest of all Jewish religiuos observances. he became the leading evangelist to spread doctrines of Jesus. Fearless and outspoken, he faced death many times.

On three different occasions, Paul traveled out

into new lands on missionary journeys. He established churches, preached the teachings of Jesus, confounded those who attempted to confront him, end made Christianity an established religion. Most important of all, perhaps, was the fact he welcomed Jew and Gentile alike.

Christian Heroes By Harlowe R. Hoyt The history of the early Christian church is the story of men anil women made brave by the strength of their convictions, inspired by the example of Jesus Christ, who gave his life on the cross, they preached the new gospel throughout the world, suffering martyrdom rather than recant their belief. The eaily road of Christianity was a rocky one. Starting, as it did, about the Sea of Galilee, it was welcomed by Jews oppressed by Roman rule and taxation. Many of them believed that Jesus was to be a ruler of earth in fact and that he was to succeed to temporal power, ousting the Roman opporession. They were the ones who deserted the cause when the end camo at Golgotha. But the little band of faithfuls persisted in their determination t > spread the teachings of their master. And when Saul of Tarsus l»e---eame a convert and assumed the name of Paul, the young church found a sponsor who sewed thseed in the wildest parts of etuth i Today we of this world of many ! comforts, enjoying the luxuries given us by science, too often forget | the trials and hardships undergone by our earnest missionaries in distant lands. It requires tragedysuch as a Boxer uprising—to bring to us the meaning of Hie hardships and denials which enter these peoples lives. They give their all that Christianity may bring its blessings inIto savage lands. The least that we can do in to give our support and aid to make ithiTr task a successful one.
