		Father Jogues succeeded in burying his young assistant, at once calling him a martyr, because slain in hatred of God and the Church, and of their sign which is the Cross, and while exercising ardent charity towards his neighbor.

		OTTAWA, SEP 17 (ZENIT).- In a pastoral letter published to commemorate the 350th anniversary of the death of Canada's martyrs, the Canadian Episcopal Conference emphasized that through their extraordinary witness, they continue to transmit those Christian values that are so often challenged by today's world, which, however, can regenerate the spiritual fabric of contemporary societies.
		They were martyred later by other tribes between 1642 and 1649, some in the Canadian province of Ontario, and others in the territory of the United States.
		The witness the Canadian martyrs give, above all, is of the love of Christ and of their brothers to the point of giving their life.

		At the very least, it is an affront to the sacrificial work of Canadian pioneers like Jonathon and Rosalind Goforth who, as Presbyterian missionaries in the late 1800's, dedicated their lives to give the masses in China the right to freedom of religious conscience.
		They and hundreds of highly educated Canadian missionaries knew they were arriving in a China where national and expatriate Christians were being martyred, yet they went to assist in the educational and medical development of China without compromising their commitment to sharing the Christian message with those whom they served.
		As part of The Voice of the Martyrs, a Canadian organization dedicated to assisting persecuted Christian believers around the world, I have seen absolutely no improvement in China's religious liberty policies as a result of economic reforms.

		Such is the stuff martyrs are made of and such is the tale told by Jr?3ome Lalemant about Isaac Jogues's steadfast devotion to Christian duty, heroic suffering under torture, and eventual death (18 October 1646) at the hands of the Iroquois.
		It may be socially useful to debunk the old national myth of the Canadian martyrs and replace it with a strong pro-Indian bias, but most readers will resent finding this or any other good cause injected into the information.
		Lalemant's provocative work has never been so well exposed to informed readership and it ought to attract new critical attention from all who are interested in the early contact period in Canada, in seventeenth-century religious institutions, and in case studies of the interplay between text and context.
