appointed one of the deacOns under an
ancient Bishop, he accompanied the pious
prelate to his martyrdom. At his death
the Bishop enj0ined him to take possess
sion of the church treasures and dis
tribute them among the poor. He did so.
aud thus drew upon himself the wrath Of
the Roman project. He was called upon
and yaluables which had been
in his possession. "The Emperor
needs them" said the project, land YOU

which are CRsar's should be rendered

the day came exhibited tine whole body of

The veneration paid TO the Saint in his
