It Is s surprising that the one great ninhl- t< tlon of the 11f? of Christopher Cnlum- n bus. and one of the reasons for the a trip which ended lit ihe discovery ot this continent. Is uiinost uuknov n. This was his scheme tor the lihi>r>ttion of Jerusalem from the yoke of tin in ,, tidel Turk with the .lid of the wen'th tl that he hoped to acquire through his f, vcyn ge. T In his writings, his journals, his will a and his pleadings to the Spanish sov- ei ereigus there has been recorded ample \\ evidence of this great passion of an u adventurous and stormy life. He d quoted the holy scriptures and prophe- h cles therein to prove that he hud been t? selected to accomplish this and that the holy sepuleher was to he returned to the Christians through hlin as a ^ divine instrument. K Before sailing from Pains on his ^ nrsi voyiiKt1 to Amerlcu he exaeted what lit* believed to lie n promise from ^ the king ami queen that whatever . profits might accrue as a result of the k adventure should he employed for ttie crusade. In his jouinal, under the ^ dale of December 20. 14!?2. we read the C hope that his men ttnd "tuns" of gold and spices "In such quantity that he- m fore three years the sovereigns will ^ undertake to prepare to go and con- ^ quer the holy sepulcher," "that all the fit profits of this, my undertaking, should ^ tie spent In the conquest of Jerusa- k lem." This pious nmhltton Is ascribed to an ? Incident which occurred while the fij Spanish sovereigns were at war s against Granada, during the siege of Baza, at which Columbus was present. V While before the city two friar* ar- ~ rived with a message from the grand soldan of Rgvpt In which the Moslem threatened to put to deatli all the ^ Christians In his dominions ami do- , I stroy the holy sepulcher at Jerusalem If the war against the Moslems of Gru- i nndn was not terminated. I The Indignation of Columbus was so ^ Intense at this menace that he formed K resolutions that were never forgotten, i ^ That he shonld aspire to the recovery . of the holy place was not unusual, for ^ every Christian prince and man of ^ power nourished this one great drearn | of every pious person of the Middle j Ages. A On Ills return fmui the first voyage ' n to America he made a vow. hoping to K use his portion of the possible trcjts- H lire acquired from the trip, to furnish ' within seven years an army of I.immi ^ horse and foot soldiers for a | crusade and a similar force within the ' five following yenr-v This wjts not forgotten. Before starting >>n Ids ^ mm in vnyafc n?> wrote I< I'ope Alex gk aniior VII mentioning his vow and in B forming him of Ills sorrow at not helnic nble to fulfill It. due to liis arrest and ra removal from power. ' When his outlook wm brightest ^ ninny roynl favors were granted t'? - H Iambus. Some of the royal promises j ^ never matured. In a very Imposing In ^ trurnent known ?s the majorat, dated ^ february 2*2. 14118, he provided for his ' ^ family and disposed of the wealth that j B he expected would surely flow into his ! ^ coffers. He mnde provision that the ^ one supreme nrntdtlon of Ids whole 1 B life he 08rrled to its desired end. f In one of the articles of the docu rnent appeared the words, "(localise at ^ the time I started to go and discover hs the Indies It was with the ititemlon of B supplicating the king and queen, our . sovereigns, that the revenue which the|r highnesses might have In the In ^ dies they should determine to spend ^ in the conquest of Jerusalem." liis R will proxidej for a ems; de directed ^ bj Ids descendant. ^ I i ii 11?i?I'iu Wffk\.
