from the flames. The priest accepted,
with the result that he was burned to
ashes. while the flames did not injure
the boy at all. Then King Laeghaire,
with rage in his heart and a smile on
his lips. invited St Patrick to come
to his palace on the following day.
Armed men were stationed on the
road to kill the saint and his follow
ers, but they saw only few deer pass
them in the night. Then the king
played his last card. A cup of poison
ed wine was given st. Patrick when
he reached the palace. but the saint
turned the cup upside down. the poi
son fell out. and again the king was
foiled. Then he decided to make the
best OF 1t and gave st. Patrick the
freedom of his kingdom to do as he
pleased.
St Patrick's career began from that
moment. King Laeghaire would not
submit to be baptized. but he showed
that Christianity had made deep inn
preston on him.
When his preaching failed to con-
vert the heather St Patrick lifted the
'staff of Jesus" against the idol,
when suddenly. by the power of God.
the idol fell on its side and the silver
and gold poured forth from it broken
and powdered into dust and the earth
swallowed up the twelve inferior
gods, images surrounding the chief
idol. On another occasion, when tive
brothers were engaged in a fierce com
bat with swords, the saint made their
arms immovable as stones, staying
them in the air. which miraculous in
tervention made good Christians of
the brothers. During one Lenten sea
son the apostle retired for prayer to a
mountain in Connaught. 1t was dur
ing this retreat that he banished the
serpents from Ireland.
st. Patrick was at Madh where he
was warned that death was near. The
saint proceeded to Armagh. where he
made his episcopal headquarters. as
nrst Bishop OF Armagh. While here
an angel appeared to him in a vision
and gave him minute instructions
about the size and style of the pro-
posed cathedral. Accordingly he built
the wall 40 feet long. the great hall
was 80 feet long, the kitchen II feet.
and the treasury for the sacred vessels
feet, as the angel ordained. and
when IT was done the saint went to
Rome to bring back linen cloth
marked with the blood OF onr Lord
Jesus Christ" besides certain relics of
IS. Peter and Paul and Stephen. He
was told in a dream 10 return to the
province OF Uladh. which was the scene
OF his first triumphs. When he ar
rived at Saul he took to his bed and
died on March II, 4s2 A. d.. sixtv
years after his arrival in ireland. Mt
the great age of 100 years. The amos
tie of Ireland and its first bIshop
breathed his last surrounded by con-
Serts OF his ministry. He found in
ireland 100000 of pagans. and in six
ty years he mad changed the religious
aspect of the land so completely that
there was not an idol to be found on
all the land.
The Elbert County tribune., 1903-03-12
TRUE HISTORY OF THE LIFE
AND DEEDS OF ST. PATRICK


There are strange notions regard
ing St Patrick. Apostle and Bishop OF
ireland. Many people still believe ST.
Patrick to be peasant boy. who came
suddenly into prominence and earned
his title by killing all deadly reptiles
in ireland with the wave OF his hand
Shorn Of fiction. the life OF St. Patrick
Is one Of deep interest The wise men
claim St Patrick as Scotchman. Eng
lishman- Frenchmzn. Spaniard. or
Welshman. but every son of Erin
knows that the saint was an Irish
mnn. st Patrick was of the Irish
royal blood. and to show that he was
not OF any other nationality let us ex-
anime his ancestry. His father was
Calphurnius. a deacon. son of Potitus.
priest in the Roman Catholic church
His mother was Conchessa. near rel
ative TO st. Martin of Tours. Potitus
was son OF odais. son of Connndh; son
of Leobut: son OF Mere: son of oda.

now MacAlpin. one OF the early royal
families in Scotland. who came Into
that country from ireland. where they
were Of the royal and noble lineage.
As child. st. Patrick was called Sue
cat. but when he was baptized into
the Catholic faith his name was
changed to Paderic. or Patrick. which
means "a nobleman-" So here is our
saints name. Patrick McAlpin. who
ms boy first came into historical
prominence in Gaul. then Roman
province.
St Patrick landed in Ireland as a
missionary in 432 A. ID. ireland at
that time was peopled by fierce and
fiery race OF sun and idol worshipers.
whose priests were the Druids. They
had. strange to say. code OF morals
of their own. and they treated women
with the greatest consideration. They
were barharians, for the Romans, who
for nearly 400 years had been the con
querors OF Britain. had to acknowledge
that they could do nothing with the
people OF Ireland. Invincible in war
fare. they were. too. and their code OF
morals. which gave them rugged
health. was perhaps as much to be
credited with this result as their valor
on the field. St. Patrick landed In
County Meath. His first convert was
Benignus. boy at the house of whose
parents the saint stopped. The next
convert was Prince Diehn. who. hear
fne of the landing Of ST. Patrick. came
down to the coast to drive him and
his religion into the sea But Prince
Dichn's sword arm became rigid as
marble when he attacked St Patrick.
and Diehn. finding that he was dealing
with some one above the human, ac-
cepted Christianity and was baptized.
St Patrick's great ambition was the
conversion OF his old master. Prince

Milchu. He travelled north in the di-
rection of Milchu's castle, but when
he came In sight OF 1t great red light
in the sky caused him to halt in won
der. He soon learned the cause of the
glare. His fame as converter of
souls to Christ had preceded him.
Something made the old warrior Mil
chu feel. when he heard that st. Pat
rick was travelling to his castle, that
he would be led to desert the gods OF
his fathers. Milchu determined to
prevent such a humiliating fate by dy-
ing as he had lived. so he set fire to
his ancestral home and perished in the
fames sooner than be converted by st.
Patrick. From the funeral pyre of his
old master. st. Patrick burned with a
