lished schools. mills, factories, and
stores for general merchandise. His
schools supplied all Brittany with
missionaries for centuries. He instill-
ed into his converts the principles of
industry, sound morals and good gov

these schools was at Armagh. At
one time it had 1000 students. The
Danes destroyed 1t in the eighth cen

Patrick wrote two books, "The 1-pis-
tie to Coroticus," and Confessions" ="
The former denounced Coroticus for
killing converts on the northeast coast
of Ireland; the latter is Patrick's auto-
biography. These books betray Jack
of classical learning. Patrick calls
himself unlearned and rustic. In style
he is crude and archaic. His SEN

rect. but clear and compact. His writ

Moody's in English. Patrick seen to

preaching with the authority of God
Almighty.

St. Patrick


Patrick began life in Dumbarton
Scotland, in the year A. D. 2S7. He
came from noble stock, his father
ranking among his townsmen as a
magistrate. Pirates carried him
away to Ireland in his fifteenth year
and sold him into slavery. For six
years he served as shepherd slave.
He escaped and was recaptured. He
escaped second time and went home
to Scotland
When he received the divine call to
devote his life to the conversion of
the Irish. his parents opposed him.
They said he already had experienced
enough sorrow in that land But he
was ready to forego comforts. to en-.
dure hardships. to leave home and ma
tive land If thereby the Irish could be
saved. To bring him to speedy decis-
ion the angel Victorious came to him
in a dream. saying: THE voice of
the Irish. We pray thee, holy youth.
to come and henceforth walk among

He began his mission among his
old slave companions. He started
first of all to give the gospel to his
old slavemaster, who. hearing of Pat
ricks approach, killed himself He
aimed first to convert the chief of the
clan, and through him the clan itself
BY this method he wrought all over
Ireland until every tribe heard and
received the new religion.
He established 35 churches. bap-

Major John Bigelow, Jr.,
Gentleman and Soldier

Lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles
has been succeeded as military ad-
wiser to Curtis Guild. Jr., governor OF
Massachusetts. by Major John Bige-
low. Jr., formerly of the Tenth United
States Cavalry, and now on the re
tired list of the army Governor
Guild has plain-speaking man as an
adviser, but the plain speaker is
soldier
Major Bigelow graduated from the
United States Military Academy in
the year 1877. He Joined the Tenth
(colored) Cavalry as second lieuten-
ant, and before he had been in the
service a year he received injuries in
the line of duty which laid him up for
time. The War department ordered
him to West Point as an instructor in
French. The majors father for years
was United States minister at Ma
poleon Ills court, and the youth of
the son having been passed in Paris
he knew French as he knew English.
The French instructor was still a
second lieutenant when he entered on
his duties at the military academy
The plebs to whom he taught the in
tricacies of the French verb loved
him. He knew how to teach, and
his section room was the only one
In the whole academic building where
the air wasn't frosty summer and
winter
The old saying to the effect that the
bravest are the tenderest finds its
proof in John Bigelow. The man who
won the admiration of every soldier
in the world by the way in which he
faced death at Santiago, where he
was four times wounded, always
WINGED when he was compelled to give
cadet low mark for recitation. Or
dinarily West Point instructor would
drop a student to a lower section
, after week or so of poor recitations,
never taking the trouble to find out If
pressure of other studies had not
necessitated temporary letting up
in the one particular branch.
On the part of one there is a kind
ly remembrance of Instructor Bige-
lows acts in helping over hard places
and of his persistence in keeping a
careless one under his Immediate
charge rather than to drop him to
| the tender mercies of another instruc-
tor after rather sad showing in the
matter of declensions and conjuga-
| tions. II is some satisfaction to re-
member that the cadet in question
braced up, "boped hard" and made
| future recitation returns as payment
| for the teachers consideration
Here was a man who was so kind
hearted and so considerate of cadet
| students that it is barely possible the
| professor of French languages at
| West Point thought his second lieu.
tenant instructor was lenient to the
point of weakness. 1t is not always

In the year 1894 the government al
lowed Lieutenant Bigelow to take a
| por'tion as professor of military
sc,'.ace at the Boston Institute of
Technology. While there he wrote
a oook called THE Principles of

so long and fervently for the deliver

legend, are the imprint of st. Pat

from Ireland to England in 1889, and
thence to America in 1S49, where it
