And also Anthony, Theresa and Henry Rau, Patsy iSreenan and Paddy Bedard, who went by motor car, The return trip was made during the night and the Pilgrim, arrived home shortly after six tired but re- solved to go again if. the opportunity' were presented. The reason for their enthusiasm and the enthusiasm' of 40,000 others is to be found in their having become better acquainted with those heroes of early Canada called the Canadian Martyrs, The Martyrs' Shrine was the forti- fied headquarters of the Jesuit Miss-• ionaries who laboured among the twenty thousand Huron Indians in- habiting the ' Georgian Bay region frown. 1625 to 1649. The`s`e` intrepid pioneers,' after surviving the '700„ mile journey by canoe and portage along the Ottawa route through ;al- most impenetrable forest, erected with toilsome labour their primitive settlement at Fort Ste, Marie. Be- sides the massive .stone fort, it com- prised a church,' a residence, a hos- pital—the first in Ontario. here they ministered to the spiritual and phy- sical needs of the Hurons, who floc- ked to them to the number or.several thousand every year. In 1649, Fr. Brebeuf and Fr. Lale- ment were tortured and burned at the stake six miles from here and their mangled bodies were interred at Fort Ste. Marie. Fr Garnier and Fr. Chabanel were martyred' the same year. Fr. Daniel was slain in 1648, just after leaving Fort Ste: Marie. Fr. Jogues, who supervised the build- ing of Fort Ste. Marie, was martyred with a young layman, John de Lal- onde, at Auriesville, N.Y., , 1646, where Rene Goupii had been tonna., hawked in 1642. The surviving miss- ionaries finally burned Fort'SteVlarie lest it become a stronghold for the Iroquois, and moved to Christian land, :20 miles distance, Archaelogists excavated Fort Ste. Marie and it is now being resorted, marking one of Canada's most •hallowed and iiistor= is landmarks, where a simple granite ino•nument marks the burial place of Brebeuf and Lalemant. Along the lofty hill, overlooking Georgian Bay, thousands of Indians built_ttheir warnr and prayed near the sparkling springs which still supply abundant water to 'the pilgrims arid tousirts to -day. On the grounds of Old Fort Ste. Marie, the cradle of civilization, of Christianity in Ontario, and the first white .settlement on Georgian l3ay, stands the Martyrs' Shrine, with it twin towers rising in lasting testim- ony to North America's first Canon- ized Saints. "The Honie of Peace," as the Myrtars called it, has become again, after 300 years, an abode of peace and prayer. Within the church, an impo,ing stone edifice of attract- ive design—are the -sacred Relics c,£ the Martyrs. Canada's first Apostolic Brief was granted to 'Fort Ste, Marie by Urban VIII, in 116444, and Pope. Plus XI renewed the spiritual priv- ileges granted by his predecessors 3 centuries ago. There is no soil in Canada 5rtiore. fragrant with deeds of sacrifice than the venerable grounds of Martyr' Shrine, The memory of these .glor., ions episodes still inspires the pihnri- ms and tourists, who, to the number of about 100,00 annually tread thi eaered spot and meditate - oit the heroic virtues of these pioneers tit the eroir. The great ireligious and ti toric mammies s attached to thi' i venerable ,site, as .well es the many 1 spiritual and temporal favours ac- corded here, have made this National Shrine a centre of interest to people of every creed and race.
