Every year June 19 Is celebrated by
Filipinos as the anniversary of the
birthday of the Filipino martyr. Dr.
Jose Rizal, regarded us the greatest
man the Malay race has produced.
Rizal, who spoke seven languages
and was a cultured and much traveled
man (on one occasion he traveled
across the United States), earned the
enmity of Spanish governors In the
Philippines by protesting against the
oppression of the Filipino people. As
a boy he hud witnessed scenes that
sent shafts of grief into his jioet
soul, and he early dedicated his life
to the liberation of his "land adored."
At the risk of his life, and at the
sucriflce of his career, friends and
loved ones, he became the spokesman
for the stifled grievances of the voice
less multitude, and thus became "the
living Indictment of Spain's wretched
colonial system."
Rizal could have saved his life, as
he had been wurned by friends not to
return to the Islands. He could not
be dissuaded, but before returning to
Manila left a letter with a friend in
Hongkong to lie opened after his
death, In whlrh he wrote: "Gladly do
1 go to expose myself to peril, not us

valued as to the condition and future of our country, and s'.iali willingly die
for i t 1 hold duties of conscience above all else. Besides I wish to show
those who deny us patriotism that we know how to die for duty and prln-
clples.”
While Rizal was In Europe working for Philippine reforms, the Spunldi
governor-general, to indirectly punish Rizal, curried on a relentless persecu
tion of his purenta and relatives in the Philippines, driving them Into exile.
To his parents Rizal left a second letter, saying: "Should fate go agulnst me,
you will understand that I shall die happy In the thought that my death will
end all your troubles. Return to our country and may you he happy lit it.
Till the last .......lent of my life I shall he thinking of you and wishing you all
good fortune and happiness."
Spain had meanwhile determined on having Rizal'a life, foolishly thinking
that if tiis voice was stilled agitation for the reforms he championed would
end. Rizal was arrested on a trumped up ehurge of treason and condemned
to death. But no sooner had the firing squad completed Its work thun the
teachings of Rizal almost instantaneously became the passionate Inspiration
of the whole Filipino race. Ills unjust execution had simply transferred the
intense patriotism o f Rizal to the breasts of an entire nation of people. The
Philippine nationalism of today dates from the sunshiny morning of December
30, lstal, when Rizal was led forth from Ills prison to willingly give, as lie
himself said. Ids life lor Ids country's redemption.
While touring in the Philippines recently the conviction was ever present
In my mind, and I could not llirow it off, that the real Inspiration as well ns
the leadership of the Filipino people In their present desire for Independence
is the spirit of Jose Rizul. The memory of ltlzal and the desire for Inde
pendence seem to be synonymous In the mind of the averuge Fiiipinu,
R iz u l Is the inspiration of all classes, of old and young, of all the people;
he Is not dead, for Ids spirit Is everywhere In that beautiful land. His pic
ture adorns the homes of the poorest fam ilies; streets, avenues and cities are
named I ii bis honor, while Ills statue stands In the parks and public squares.
In life Rizal was a beautiful character, kind and considerate of all, gladly
giving Ids life for Ills country, and In memory he has become the national Idol.
With such a spirit as Its national Inspiration the Philippines can not help hut
reai-li heights now not dreamed of.
While awaiting death in his cell during Ids last night on earth Rizal wrote
a remarkable poem, "My Last Farewell." He secreted the manuscript in an
alcohol cooking lamp, where it was found after his execution. It follows:
