6. Monday.--St. Nicholas. He was remarkable from his infancy for
piety and the knowledge of the Scriptures, and made a Bishop of Myrn in
Lvcia, and is not better known by the miracles he is said to have wrought
than for the sanctity of his life, and the goodness of his heart. He was
one of the venerable fathers who assisted at the council of Nice, where,
prompted by an irresistible zeal of preserving the faith of the church in
its parity ; and losing his temper a! the impudent conduct of Arius, he
is said to have given him the alapam, which we roundly call in English
" a box on the ear." It is reported, that being on the sea-shores, and
wittiessing the distress of a ship in sight, he laid the demon of the tem-
pt-st by his earnest prayers, and saved the vessel and the crew. There
