an hour later there was such a jam around
the gates that II required no little skill and

knowledge of the mysteries. but in centur-
les the Irish had lost sight If these. But it
was grand victory for St. Patrick. 1t was a
victory for all time, and the end is not yet.
st. Patrick still lives. his teachings still
continue. From that little island some
missionaries were sent into Scotland and
England and even Europe, and il still pre-
serves its faith to-day though other
churr hes have passed away. Antioch,
SMYRNA, Ephpsus all have gone because
ruin seized upon them, but in Ireland per-
secuti0n and oppression has not eradicated
that faith and the church founded BY ST.
Patrick has met nothing that could prevail
against it. The result of this endurance is
that the seed sown fell on good ground.
The Celtic mind opened and received it.
For once at least he gospel found green
soil. Never ELSEWHERE did it spread so
rapidly. Fifty years alter scarcely trace
of pagan Ireland renamed. i; became
the center of religious institutions, and
when commissions in Europe destroyed
Roman law and literature from Ireland
came the spark by which the torch of civ
iliZati0n vas lit again in Europe. But
after all the greatness OF Ireland ia the
greatness OF the faith. If ireland had not
kept the Catholic faith her name would
perhaps long since have gone. The other
branches of the Latin church have passed
away and remain only in history.
They had never been subjected to
such trials as Ireland. For centuries
every kind of persecution has been
used, but used In vain. To-day wherever
the flag of England floats and her power
is felt floats also the green flag of Ireland,
an insult to power and pride. The an
them of freedom which rises this morning
follows the course of the rising sun and
is echoed from all parts of the world. The
whole world hears to-day the voice of
Ireland. 1t rises in the jungles of India
and on the shores of Australia and on the
sabds of Africa. Whence does this little
island gain power of EXPIRE 1t has
no wealth, no power. The secret is-Ire-
lands faith. Apart from that our nation
airy and greatness would be but a 1eeting
dream of the past without any bearing on
the present and with no hope for the fu-
ture. We are scattered over the world,
but we spread the faith wherever our
wandering footsteps 90 and look back 10
Mother Erin waiting for the time when
she shall realize her hope. when she shall
be sanctuary, when she shall be visited
by her children afar, who shall revere
her as their mother in the faith. This is
no fancy picture. 1t is to be realized If
we only be true to ourselves and faithful
to our God. No man who believes 10 God
or justice can doubt of lreland's future.
The Almighty cannot preserve q nation
through persecution like that Ireland has
endured without reserving to her some
great destiny. Forty years of suffering in
the wilderness brought the Israelites 10
the promised land, and long centuries of
sorrOwlng for Ireland must lead to some
thing commensurate with all this sorrow.
The preacher concluded his eloquent
discourse by exhorting his hearers to

THE EXERCISES.

Next in sequence came the exercises of
thu day. The Introductory was entirely
Informal. Seats had been reserved upon
the stage for the mem bers of the executive
committee of next st. Patrick's day cele-
bration and other prominent citizens.
Here sat the hOnored guests in view of
the thousands who had assembled for a
common purpose. For the first time since
its erection Festival Hall could, with
out exaggeration, said to have been filed
1t was literally packed and running over.
Even the aisle spaces were occupied, and
there was no standing room left IN the gal
leries. The number inside was duplicated
around the doors. Thousands were I'M
able TO obtain admission.
When Archbishop Riordan appeared
upon the stage every ne in the audience
rose and remained standing until the emf
nent prelate was seated. Judge r. j.
T0bln, president of the day, was greeted
with round of applause when he stepped
to he front of the platform and began his
address. He spoke as follows:
