Fourteen hundred years ago there
walked through Ireland Il simple yet
sublime young man whose mission was
to preach the gospel and baptize the
people into the Holy church. When
his footsteps had ended forever, the
Pagan land had become Christian and
and learning throughout the north of
Europe.
Seven hundred years after st. Pat
rick went into Ireland to preach the
gospel, an English king sent over mis-
sionaries whose mission was to coll

race, with its love of freedom, refused
to be ellslaved. The work of Henry
III has never been completed, and new

land. For country and for liberty have
Ircland's SONS fought during all her
troublous history. The passion Of
Irish patriotism is blended with all
that is enrolling and inspiring, ana the
wrongs which the race has suffered
have only intensified this feeling.
Nothing is more dear to a country
than it's feeling, and long history Of
oppression and moderation has not
only failed to eXtinguish the flame Of
Irish patriotism, but has served to
kindle it. The Irish race has survived
the black deluge of suffering and plum
der and energies from the struggle
! with redoubled strength and renewed
energy. The race has lived to see a
day of release dawning, a day of re-
lease from the bonds of servitude and
Of emancipation from the slavery Of
unrcquited toll.
But through all the centuries Of plots
and instructions, Of famine and re-
preston, the pcasnntry Of Ireland have
chung fast to the faith that the land
belong to them. and now this hope and
desire is about to be realized. Eng
land has cnnc to 500 that her Irish cX-
