How 81. Patrick Came 20 Ireland.

AT sixteen years of age, the son OF
great noble of Brittany, he is taken sud
denly from the bosom of his family,
thrown into the hold of the war-ship of
the Irish King, borne roughly across the
boisterous ocean, flung on the Northern
coast of ireland, and sold MS slave =
turned out, in hunger and nakedness, to
feed the cattle upon the cold, bleak
mountain There, month after month,
year after year, scourged and beaten,
young Patrick turned his heart to God.
And when he escaped from his exile ard
his slavery, he was already saint, and
matured for the great purposes for which
Gnd had destined him. At sixty years of
age, again lie came. The winds OF heay-
en- in every breeze favored his coming (;
they waited him along out into the West
ern ocean, until he saw the streak of is
land-green and cried out, "There is my
Innisfail, the Island OF Destiny" He
came, he landed in ireland, the mnrtyred
man, with gentleness and grace upon his
lips, with learning in his mind, with jur-
isdiction in his hand Oh, blessed
