Junipero Serra, Mission San Antonio de Padua was founded far off what later became El Camino Real, ‘‘The Kings Highway,’ by the Presidente of the California Missions on July 14, 1771. It was the third of Junipero’s missions, now twelfth on the Trail of the Padres. ca Situated in a pleasant oak-cover' . ed-valley-inthé’ Santa Lucia_Mouna tains the site chosen by Fr. Serra e ‘was a spot where Gaspar de Portola y and his .expeditionary force had camped in September, 1769, on their way from San Diego in search of Monterey Bay. In those first years of his misa -gionary undertakings, the zeal of Be Fr. Serra knew no bounds, so that, : having founded mission San Carlos Borromeo at what is now Carmel, he set out from Monterey with a squad mission will become a great settle-. ment of many Christians, because we see here what has not been ob} served in any of the other missions . founded hitherto, that at the first . holy mass the first fruit from pas. anism has been present, He will . surely not fail to communicate to . his tribesmen what he has seen.” FRIENDLY INDIANS And, indeed, the lone Indian did not. fail. Presented with colored glass beads, he hastened to his concealed fellows and soon many I[ndians came with gifts of wild seeds and acorns. They accepted the missionaries with great faith and confidence, ~so that fifteen days later Fr. Serra set forth highly pleased, for Monterey, leaving Fathers Sit. jar and Pieras to build with the aid of the soldiers and the friendly na-. ‘tives the Mission San Antonio de Padua.

Serra’s ent o . y. jasm and he yan up to them, eo ~the-cords and rang them in a lity Manner. Then he shouted. a “Hear, Oh Gentiles! Come! Oh} . come to the holy church of Cod! Come, Oh come, and receive the Faith of Christ’! In amazement, Fr. Pieras cried out: ‘“‘Why, Father, do you tire your self? This is.notthe spot on which the church is to stand, nor is there Within hearing a single pagan soul, . It is useless to ring the bells.” To which Fr. Serra replied: “O4 Father Miguel, let me give vent to! my heart’s desires; for I would that these bells were heard all over the . world, or at least by all pagan people who live in this sierra.” 4 la The venerable padre’s wish was fulfilled, at least in part, for a lone . Indian, attracted by the sound of, the ‘bells, cautiously approached” while Fr. Serra and his colleagues, : having constructed, raised and bless. _ ed a large cross, were celebrating . holy mass within a brushwood shelter wherein an altar had been plac-. ed.

This man _ Sionaries were now preaching; could be. deyoted to details of the . demoralization of Mission San Antonio under Mexican rule decades later, but which details would be a repitition of the mission stories preceding this one, it may be worth while here to relate a strange tale Palou wrote in of Fr. Br, eal Serra TTS: “Among the Indians San Antonio was a woman whom them named Agueda, so“old, that to oll appearances she must have been ‘one hundred years of age. She came to the Fathers and asked for baptism. * ‘‘When they questioned her iy she wanted to be a Christian, she replied that when she was_ very young, she heard her parents tell of the coming to that country, of a man. who was vested in the same habit that the missionaries wore. had not entered the land on foot but:came flying; and that! he told them-tne same that the mis. and ‘that remembering this she was mov-. ‘ed to become a Christian Not putting . any credit in what the old woman. related, the Fathers sought informa' tion on the subject from the neo-! baptized at . . . coe Fie Sak oo dew “Trophies For Camera or Gun O the sportsman who likes to hunt with camera or the mountains and forests of British Columbia are rich in wild ani prospects.
