Can folk wonder why we love the padres, why we reverence the Y.M.C.A.? Can folk wonder why the men who used to look on such men as sissy-boys have changed their opinions? Can folk wonder that the religion which is Christian is making an impression on the soldier? Can folk deny the fact that this war will make better men? Once again I mention Major the Reverend John Pringle.
"Well, padre," the Staff Officer was saying, as he handed back Monty's papers, "I'm at a loss what to do with you." "The Army always is at a loss what to do with padres," rejoined Monty pleasantly, as he took the papers and placed them in a pocket. "However, you needn't worry, because, having got so far, I'm going on this blooming boat."
Not the prayers of all the padres can save them from the blackness of their fate, since Don José Pacheco frowns and will not take their hand in friendship! How they will gnash the teeth when they hear the terrible tidings José Pacheco, don and son of a don, will have none of them, nor will he give way to their poor burros on the highway!"
The founding took place on June 13, in the presence of Captain Grajera and his guard, a few San Juan neophytes, and many gentiles, Presidente Lasuen performing the ceremonies, aided by Padres Peyri and Santiago. Fifty-four children were baptized at the same time, and from the very start the Mission was prosperous. No other missionary has left such a record as Padre Peyri.
What a beautiful church it must have been, with its quaint carvings, its star-window that seems to have been blown out of shape in some wintry wind, and all its lines hardened again in the sunshine of the long, long summer; with its Saracenic door! what memories the Padres must have brought with them of Spain and the Moorish seal that is set upon it!
Then the asses are led up in front of the parroquia now roofless and black; their heads are fastened together, so that the backs of their riders are turned toward the spectators. A line of warriors forms at a distance off their bows are bent, and at a signal a flight of arrows goes whistling through the air. The suffering of the padres is at an end. Both have ceased to exist.
Visiting San Gabriel, young Chapman found the padres having trouble to keep the flour which they ground in their new stone mill from being dampened by water from the mill wheel. Knowing something of machinery, the American remedied the defect by means of a flutter wheel, and there was no more trouble.
It occurred to him that this might have followed some penitential prayer of the child, and remembering her tuition by the padres it gave him an idea. He dismissed school a few moments earlier in order that he might speak to her alone before Mr. Hoover arrived. "But tell me, when you were with the padre and your slipper fell off, you did not expect him to put it on for you?"
The town may consist of 2 or 300 houses, all built of rough stone; having also one convent, and one church. The people in general are black, or at least of a mixed colour, except only some few of the better sort, namely the governor, the bishop, some gentlemen, and some of the padres; for some of these also are black. The people about Praya are thievish; but these of St.
The padres offered to remove the dam if the settlers were injured thereby, and also claimed that they were always glad to attend to the sick when their own pressing duties allowed. On January 14, 1811, Padre Francisco Dumetz, one of Serra's original compadres, died at San Gabriel.
