taken prisoner by come m~arauding
Irish. and iy them brought To Ireland.
He effected his escape to his native
country, and commenced the study of
the Irish language. with a view to
converting tile ration to Christianity.
He studied under his uncle, -. Martini,
the then Bishop Of Tours, in France,
and at the expiration OF two years, was
c~onsecrated bishop by Pope Ceie>tIne,
ut which time his name WAS changed
to PatriciU> or Patrick. st. Patrick
returned % Ireland in the YEAR a. and
commenced his mission OF converting
the heather. He was >~iuguIariy sue
cessful. His power Of oratorv i said
TO have, been very great; disappearance
more like to Heavenly beng than a
man. He founded The monasterIes of
Armagh, and saul, and caused them to
be rlcllIv endowed. His death occur

eff aye al The time OF his decea>e. He
was worthy the name of Saint aud the
reverence of all who believe in the
religion of Jesus Christ. Although
