A PRECIOUS LEGACY
Christopher Columbus’ discovery is but a part of the enormous
debt we owe the intrepid explorer.
In some mysterious fashion, we like to believe, he imbued the
land he found with his own intense and unquenchable zest for
discovery. Ennobled by this magnificent inspiration, our fore-
fathers established a nation with the spirit of discovery woven
into every structural fibre. Our very form of representative gov-
ernment and free enterprise economic system—the greatest, fair-
est and most rewarding in all history—were discoveries, for none
exactly like them had ever existed before.
With that illustrious beginning the spirit of discovery contri-
buted vitally to our early growth and to virtually every advance
since. It prompted the pioneers to brave the terrible dangers of
westward travel to settle vast new territories. It sparked a long
series of inventions and innovations that made us the foremost
industrial, as well as agricultural, nation in the world. It brought
us astounding achievements in the sciences, in knowledge and
in culture. It made possible the highest living standards of all
time.
And, that same dedicated spirit of discovery is serving us well
today as we tackle the awesome demands and complexities of the
space age. Yes, it can be truly said that Columbus special legacy
has endured over the 472 years since his great find. Moreover
there is every good reason to expect that the inspirational force
bestowed upon us will continue to stand us in good stead in all
the years ahead.
******
COLUMBUS DAY, OCTOBER 12Why is St. Christopher the patron of travelers? Who was he,
actually? When did he live? Is there a relationship between
Christopher and the Knights of Columbus? Christopher lived in
the third century and became a Christian martyer. That much is
known from historic documents at the Vatican.
Although other information is fragmentary, his name originally
was Reprobus and he, a man of giant stature, sought to serve
Christ by carrying travelers and their luggage across a dangerous
river.
One night, according to legend, he was awakened by a child
who asked to be carried across. Reprobus went about his task
but, in the midst of the rushing waters, the weight of the small
boy gradually became enormous. He managed, however, to stag-
ger to the other bank and deposit his burden safely.
“Don’t be astonished,” the mysterious traveler told him. “You
carried Him who carries the weight of the world.” The Boy
blessed Reprobus and named him Christopher, or “Christ-bearer.
Twelve hundred years later there was another great “Christ-
bearer”—one who carried Christ not just over a treacherous river,
but across a vast, forbidding ocean! His name was Christopher
Columbus. With prodigious courage, this Christopher, not only
discovered it, but brought Christianity to America.
Today, a growing organization called the Kinghts of Columbus
is a modern-day version of “Christ-bearers.” Through their reli-
gious information programs, the 1,170,000 members are carrying
Christ to millions of wayfarers traveling through this life. One
of their prime objectives is the carrying of Christ to all peoples.
Thousands of persons have responded to these efforts of the
Knights of Columbus. Annually they observe October 12, which
is Columbus Day. .
