I hold 1t true that thoughts are things
Endowed with being. breath and wings
And that we send them forth to fill
The world with good results or Ill.
That which we call our secret thought
Speeds to the earth's remotest spot
And leaves it's blessings or its woes
Like tracks behind 1t as 1t goes.
It is Gods law; remember 1t
In your still chamber as you sit
with thoughts you would not dare have
known
And yet make comrades when alone.
These thoughts have life. and they will fly
And leave their impress. by and by.
Like some marsh breeze. whose poisonous
breath
Breathes into homes Its fevered death.
And after you have quite forgot
Or all outgrown some vanish thought,
Back to your mind to make its home
A dove or raven 1t will come.
Then let your secret thoughts be fair:
They have vital part and share
In shaping words and molding fate
Gods system is so intricate.

away from God and had not kept his
commandments and We're not obedient
to our pastors, who admonished us of
our salvation. And the Lord brought
down upon us the anger of his Spirit
and scattered us among many nations
to the ends of the earth. where my
poverty was seen among strangers.
There the Lord opened to me a sense of
my unbelief that might remember my
sins and that l might be converted
with all my heart unto the Lord my
God, who had looked upon my humility
and had compassion on my youth and
ignorance. and who kept me until was

that this account of st. Patrick sis I'M
dOubtedly the most ancient and the
farthest removed from sanity imag-

an estimate of the saint about the time
Of his death:
At Nemthur st. Patrick was born,
AS history handed it down,
And when but sixteen years of age,
A captive. was led from that town.
Siccoth was st. Patrick's first name,
His father Calphurn without miss;
His grandfather Otide was styled;
He was nephew of Deacon Odisse.
Six years did he live In dark bonds
And the food of the gentle ate not.
And Cathraige by men he was called
Since to work for four homes was his
lot.
To the servant of MilchO twas said
To pass DER the seas and the plain;
Then stood angel Victor on rock,
And his footprints to this day remain.
Departed st. Patrick DER Alps:
On his way all successful he HES,
And with German remained in the south
Meath Letavias wide spreading skies.
In the isles of the Tyrrhenan sea
st. Patrick some period awaits,
And as canon with German he reads,
AS his history still to us states
To Hibernia St Patrick returned,
BY visions from angels induced,
For visions appeared to him oft,
And his mind to subsection reduced.
Soul saving was Patrick'S intent.
For twas to far Foclut's dark floods
He had heard the entreaty and wall
OF children in FOclut's far woods.
For asked they the saint to make haste
And Letavia's wide lands desert
That from errors dark ways Fires men
He might in lifes pathways direct.
FOretOld Fires Seers years of peace,
Which We're to remain through all
time,
But the grandeurs of Tara. the proud,
Were to vanish in dust as earth's
slime.
To Leary, the monarch, Druids told
| OF the advent of Patrick, the saint,
| And their visions We're true. as we know
| From the facts which his histories
paint.
Renowned was st. Patrick through life,
| And of error he was Il dire foe;
! Hence forever his name shall be grand
Among the nations as ages shall flow.
The Apocalypse sang he and hymns
And three fifty full psalms day by
| day:
He instructed and praised and baptized,
And all time he continued to pray.
Nor could any cold e'er prevent
That he stayed in the water DER
nights,
And to gain the grand kingdom of heav
Through the day he used preach on
the heights.
BY the far famous fount of the north,

For hundred full psalms he used sing
Each night the Lords praise to in
