and ASitcCth, in its impure and
cruel rites. From what we read of
the heather Briiors and their Drc'Gs
or. priests, we may conclude ihat
they were not widely different FROM
She Hawaiians. They were . rude,
barbarous people, according TO
history, rot so well provided With
homes q the English; r-ta5 enter

may say. But mus bring ,lc
English over the water into o,u
modern England, as quickly as
possible.
In the year 80 B. c., the Romans
first invaded Britain, and after a few
battles made terms with the people
and returned to Gaul. But the
Britons broke faith with Caesar, and
the next summer he returned with
greater force, and succeeded in
frightening them from interfering
with his plans in Gaul. The country
was not rich enough in plumber to
he attractive to the Romans, 50 they
withdrew till 43 A. d., when they
returned to make conquest Of Bri-
| tain, and the BritOns were under
Roman rule till 400, when, the
Roman Empire falling into trouble
with the Germans, legion after legion
was called away and The Britons
were left to themselves. They fell
into trouble among Che selves, and
Nortigern called in ne English
chiefs, lIengiyt and Hotsa, 10 help
him against the Picts and Scots.
This was abou, the year 4j1, end the
final outcome of this arrangement,
as you know, was the conquest OF
Britain by the Englisjl OF Anglo
SaXons.
When Christianity first came to
Britain, or how, is not positively
known. Perhaps from Christians in
the Roman army, or immigrants
following the army, or il may have
been by missionaries from Gaul.
IL is known, however, that Christian
ity was introduced before the year
200 a. y. A hundred years later
the pagan Romans prosecuted the
Christian Britons, destroying their
churches and forcing the starving
Christians To forsake Christ or die,
and there were many martyrs.
About the year 440 he Scots of
the north of Ireland, in certain
plundering expeditions, carried of
as slaves some Christian youths
through whose influence Christianity
was planted in Ireland, which land
from the 9TH TO the 18th century
became the Christian Seminary Of
Europe. One cf these slaves was
st. Patrick.
DIR. W. Earrows says of the
Anglo-Saxons: "When they came
to Britain they were mere hordes Of
ferocious pirates. Robbery Of
bloody violence was their life bust
