FATHER CORR ON ST. PATRICK.
Ireland as Refuge of Civilization in the
Darkest Ages.

ireland as a Refuge of Civilization in the
Darkest Ages.
The lecture delivered last night by Rev.
P. NJ. Corr, at St. Bridget's Church. on
''St. Patrick, his life and his labors." was
listened to by large audience. Referring
to the historical benefits received from St.
Patrick, the speaker said his time pointed
to the period in the Twelfth century, when
the Goths. the Visigoths, the Huns and
Vandals had possession OF all Europe and
were devastating it by their baroarous
hordes. Safe retreat was found then in
monasteries in Ireland where the monks
relighted the torch of learning that ulti-
mately spread over the dark and bloody
grounds laid bare by the hordes.
Further on, Father Corr said eloquently,
when in 1914 Garibaldi captured the
Holy City of Rome each of the colleges
there had some flag over it to designate
its country and TO protect its inmates.
The English college had the English flag,
the Scotch college had also the English
flag, but the Irish college had no flag in
this hour of need. and Cardinal Cullen, as
a last hope, appealed to the English con-
sui for the protection of the English flag.
The request was refused. Cardinal Gull
zen next appealed to the American cCn-
sui and the Stars and Stripes were at once
floaLed over the Irish college.
In closing his remarks, Father Corr adj
vised his parishioners to bring up their
children to revere and love next to their
God, the American flag.

when six hours march from Tomsk
the storm had became SO severe that
all the roads were obliterated. Chained
together the convicts struggled on until
gradually the weaker ones fell in the deep
snow, dragging tie stronger down with
them.
Despite the efforts of the Cossack
guards, the exhausted people could make
no attempt to save themselves, and they
were abandoned TO freeze to death, while
the Others were driven forward.
TO get them shelter, The storm
travelling became worse and worse.
Now and then prisoners would drop by
the wayside, where they would soon be
covered by the rapidly falling and drift
ing snow.
When the guards managed to get what
few remained of their charges to place
OF safety they found that Of the
374 persons they had started with,
only ninety-one survived. Sixty
two of those who had perished were po-
litical prisoners. Among those lost were
