One day in 1965when I worked at View Ridge School in Seattlea fourth?grade teacher approached me.She had a student who finished his work before all the others and needed a challenge.“Could he help in the library” she asked.I said, “Send him along.”

Soon a slightsandy?haired boy in jeans and a T?shirt appeared.“Do you have a job for me” he asked.

I told him about the Dewey Decimal System(杜威十进分类法) for shelving books.He picked up the idea immediately.Then I showed him a stack() of cards for long?overdue books that I was beginning to think had actually been returned but were misshelved with the wrong cards in them.He said“Is it kind of a detective job” I answered yesand he became working.

He had found three books with wrong cards by the time his teacher opened the door and announced“Time for break”He argued for finishing the finding jobshe made the case for fresh air.She won.

The next morninghe arrived early.“I want to finish these books”he said.At the end of the daywhen he asked to be a librarian on a regular basisit was easy to say yes.He worked untiringly.

After a few weeks I found a note on my deskinviting me to dinner at the boy’s home.At the end of a pleasant eveninghis mother announced that the family would be moving to a neighbouring school district.Her son’s first concernshe saidwas leaving the View Ridge library.“Who will find the lost books” he asked.

When the time cameI said an unwilling good?bye.I missed himbut not for long.A few days later he came back and joyfully announced“The librarian over there doesn’t let boys work in the library.My mother got me transferred back to View Ridge.My dad will drop me off on his way to work.And if he can’tI’ll walk

I should have had an idea such focused determination would take that young man wherever he wanted to go.What I could not have guessedhoweverwas that he would become a genius of the Information AgeBill Gatestycoon(企业巨头) of Microsoft and America’s richest man.

Though England was on the whole prosperous and hopeful, though by comparison with her neighbors she enjoyed internal peace, she could not evade the fact that the world of which she formed a part was torn by hatred and strife as fierce as any in human history. Men were still for from recognizing that two religions could exist side by side in the same society; they believed that the toleration of another religion different from their own. And hence necessarily false, must inevitably destroy such a society and bring the souls of all its members into danger of hell. So the struggle went on with increasing fury within each nation to impose a single creed upon every subject, and within the general society of Christendom to impose it upon every nation. In England the Reformers, or Protestants, aided by the power of the Crown, had at this stage triumphed, but over Europe as a whole Rome was beginning to recover some of the ground it had lost after Martin Luther’s revolt in the earlier part of the century. It did this in two ways, by the activities of its missionaries, as in parts of Germany, or by the military might of the Catholic Powers, as in the Low Countries, where the Dutch provinces were sometimes near their last extremity under the pressure of Spanish arms. Against England, the most important of all the Protestant nations to reconquer, military might was not yet possible because the Catholic Powers were too occupied and divided: and so, in the 1570’s Rome bent her efforts, as she had done a thousand years before in the days of Saint Augustine, to win England back by means of her missionaries.

These were young Englishmen who had either never given up the old faith, or having done so, had returned to it and felt called to become priests. There being, of course, no Catholic seminaries left in England, they went abroad, at first quite easily, later with difficulty and danger, to study in the English colleges at Douai or Rome: the former established for the training of ordinary or secular clergy, the other for the member of the Society of Jesus, commonly known as Jesuits, a new Order established by St, Ignatius Loyola same thirty years before. The seculars came first; they achieved a success which even the most eager could hardly have expected. Cool-minded and well-informed men, like Cecil, had long surmised that the conversion of the English people to Protestantism was for from complete; many—Cecil thought even the majority—had conformed out of fear, self-interest or—possibly the commonest reason of all—sheer bewilderment at the rapid changes in doctrine and forms of worship imposed on them in so short a time. Thus it happened that the missionaries found a welcome, not only with the families who had secretly offered them hospitality if they came, but with many others whom their first hosts invited to meet them or passed them on to. They would land at the ports in disguise, as merchants, courtiers or what not, professing some plausible business in the country, and make by devious may for their first house of refuge. There they would administer the Sacraments and preach to the house holds and to such of the neighbors as their hosts trusted and presently go on to some other locality to which they were directed or from which they received a call.
