ITSELF and delicious but still rather fiery WE'LL the
young saint being then captive, or in plain words slave
to of the chief Duid called OMahony had to be out
before the day dawn herdng his masters swne and the
Druds had to have their fires built welcome the rising sum-
ST. Patrick often worhiped at their fres-that is warmed
himself which but kind of freworshp. Being youth
of beauty and endowmen he entered into con-
troverses with the priests of the Sum- and argued with them
the inconsistency of worsbpng the Sun instead of the
Creator of that lumnary. The Druds who were
eernay reading book of nature and always rainng
their eyes catch glimpse of the unknown They were
eernally pushing towards the light and while firm In their
belief willing to accept higher and nober doctrines
when presented them Instead therefore, of calling ST.
Patrick Radical and Infde" and fngng him into the
fire, a sacrifice to their outraged god-as many OF the
Druds of the present day would do if they could get good
chancehey behed in the eemnate youth the forerunner
of the ma whose feet would walk the EARTH but whose head
would touch the skies foreold by Druidic pro-
phesy
Those fellows who write the history of the Saint and who
tell the ogham from the Egyptian herogyphics,
know nothing about what they when they tell that ST.
Patrick from Scotland and that being out catching fish
with his father he driven the coast of Ireland and
captured by the natives BY the natve Just if the Irish
Sandwich islanders and ST. Patrick kind of Captain
Cook Ithey such savages why didn't they eat him?
He was young and tender and their fires always lit
Il
educated in Rome Where he resided it difficult to say
but in Christian country and consequently could not
be Scotland for Ireland Christian prior to Scotland In
all probability it in part of France. Instead of
ST. Patrick being fishing excursion and being driven
into Ireland by the elements he gobbled up by the
Irish who used to make ncursons into all the neghboring
nations for plumber and for slaves The Irish often swept
along the fields of England France and Germany picking
up the gold and silver spoons generals of to-day
DONE and bearing off the youth both to slavery
The young the army and the young madens for the
camp of love.
King Dath of the old Pagan Kings of Ireland in
of his ncursons far the Apson his way
to Rome-where he killed by lightning. What glor-
ous death for the old reworshpr who never bent his
head to 1t took god to kill him. We can imagine
the warrior bards of his court-when his body borne
back to- and laid in the Kings burial ground -chanting
the glory of the sleeping hero How their god Baa becom
ing offended the audacity of Dahi who taking his
place the hearts of the people, in his flung his bolts
from heaven the head of the King and summoned his
soul to judgment.
The Druds them were blind to what going
side of Ireland They had their wise in various dis
guses travelling through the world and cung the honey
from the many lands and bearing it to the Irish hive They
had heard of the Man whom Jews had cruced and had
heard the spread of his DOCTRINES with any ALARM for
they sa truth prevail though all the legons of the
world had 1t buried and amped on It's grave hereaIef
1t was than surmised that of the Druds
Christians in disguise and secretly paving the for
the coming doctrine. There missionaries in Ireland
long before ST. Paricks time but for other
the they made turned to the fire after the msoners
had left and they themselves turning DID, Age requires
warmth and BESIDES the converted Turk will always call
the Prophet at the last hour.
There is doubt but that of the Druds helped ST.
Patrick escape and it is thought that of them
with him to Rome. After laying his before the Pope
and receiving the of Parckfor he was of the patr
cans-he started for Ireland again with grand renue and
rich gifts for the Princes and Druids That the Irish
half Christian at this time their universal and bloodless
coverson in day were fully proves know that many
writer's assert that their conversion to Christianity charac
eristc of the race who easily conquered they assert
