LETTEROFFATHERDAMIEN

"DRYBLOWER,"DUBBO,N.S.W.:WouldyoupleasecommentonthepassageIhave marked,fromthe"Bulletin,"March22,1961.

R.:ItoccursinanarticleonRobertLouisStevenson, byNormanLindsay."TheRev.Hyde,"Mr.Lindsay states,"wrotealetterwhichgibbetedFatherDamien asacoarse,dirty,bigotedandintemperateman,and saidthattheleprosyofwhichhediedwascontracted byhissexualrelationswiththeleperwomen."

Mr.Lindsaysaysthatthisletterwas"aprivateletter, notwrittenforpublication."Theletter,however,was verydefinitelywrittenforpublication.FatherDamien, whohaddevotedhislifetothecareoftheleperson Molokai,oneoftheHawaiianIslands,diedonApril15, 1889,havingpaidthesupremepriceofcontracting leprosyhimself.

Achorusofpraiseforhisheroiccharityappearedin thepressoftheworld.ACongregationalistministerin Sydney,theRev.H.B.Gage,wrotetoaPresb:/terian ministerinHonolulu,theRev.C.M.Hyde,askingfor informationtothediscreditofFatherDamien.sothat hecouldundoanygoodimpressionsamongProtestants. TheRev.Hyde'sscandalouslettertotheRev.H.B. GagewasdatedAugust2,1889.Heknewquitewell thatMr.Gagehadnotaskedforsuchaletteronlyto buryit.TheRev.Gagepublishedtheletterinthe "SydneyPresbyterian,"October26,1889.

NORMANLINDSAY'SINTERPRETATION

Q.:SpeakingofthewayinwhichFatherDamienwas allegedtohavecontractedleprosy,NormanLindsay says:"Horrorcanconceivenomoreghastlyconsuma "nationoftheamorousimperative,anditisawonder thattheShorterCatechistinStevensoncondonedit,"

R.:StevensonwasaPresbyterian,andnodoubtknew hisPresbyterianShorterCatechism.VisitingSydney earlyin1890andstayingatUnionClub.hecameacross theRev.Mr.Hyde'sletterinabacknumberofthe "SydneyPresbyterian."

HewashorrifiedbyMr.Hyde'sscandalousandlying chargesagainstFatherDamien:andinanopenletterto him,datedFebruary25.andpublishedinthesecular press,heindignantlydenouncedHydeandallthathe hadwritten.

Stevensondidnotcondoneanymorallapseonthe partofFatherDamien.Itisacalumnyagainst Stevensontosuggestthathedidso.Inhisletterhe saidthathad,FatherDamienfalleninsuchawayhe wouldhave"falteredandstumbledinhisnarrowpath ofduty.That'snotcondoningsuchconduct.Butnot foramomentdidStevensonadmitthatFatherDamien hadbeenguiltyofsuchconduct.

R.L.STEVENSON'SREALATTITUDE

Q.:"TheRev.Hyde'sdescriptionofFatherDamienwas commonknowledge,"NormanLindsayasserts,"nor didStevensondenounceitasacalumny."

R.:Bothstatementsarefalse.FarfromFatherDamien allegedimmoralitybeingcommonknowledge,StevensonsaidinhisopenlettertotheRev.Hydethat,ona visittoMolokai:"IheardmanycomplaintsofDamien. Whywasthisnevermentioned?"

Stevensondiedin1894.Afterhisdeath,inaletter publishedintheCatholicperiodical"AveMaria"of Indiana,U.S.A.,Mrs.Stevensonwrote:"Uptohislast hourhisadmirationfortheworkandcharacterof'that saint,thatmartyr,'asheinvariablycalledFather Damien,remainedunchanged;andanymentionofthe cowardlyattackonthedeadman'smemorybroughta flushofangerintohisfaceandafiretohiseyethat wereunmistakable."

NormanLindsayhasnogroundsforassumingthat FatherDamienwasguiltyofimmoralconduct,thathis guilt.wascommonknowledge,andthatStevenson,far fromdenouncingthechargeascalumny,evencondoned suchimmoralconduct.Stevenson'sopenlettertothe Rev.Mr.Hyde,onwhichNormanLindsaybaseshis conclusions,positivelyexcludesthoseconclusions,and wasquiteobviouslywrittenforthepurposeofmaintainingtheveryopposite.

StevensoneverheldthatFatherDamien'smoral integritywascertain,andaboveallreproach.Inhis lettertotheRev.Mr.Hydehewrote:"Youknow enough,doubtless,oftheprocessofcanonisationtobe awarethat,ahundredyearsafterthedeathofDamien, therewillappearamanchargedwiththepainful officeof'Devil'sAdvocate.'Afterthatnoblebrotherof mine,andofallfrailclay,shallhavelainacenturyat rest,oneshallaccuse,onedefendhim.Thecircumstance isunusualthatthedevil'sadvocateshouldbeavolunteer makinghastetotakeuponhimselfhisuglyoffice erethebonesarecold."But"itisintheinterestofall mankindandthecauseofpublicdecencyinevery quarteroftheworld thatDamienshouldbe righted."

ThosewordsIcommendtoMr.NormanLindsayfora much-neededfurtherconsideration.
