thor, where we have reason to think
that he lived for a considerable time"
Among the men of some note who So
iourned in the monastery in its early
days was Hilary, who afterward be-
came bishop of Arelate; Maximus,
who was second abbot and then bishop
of Reii; Lupus, who subsequently
held the see of Trecasses: Vincentius,
who taught and wrote in the cloister,
and Eucherius. who composed, among
other works, a treatise in praise of
the hermit's life. Eucherius had

Lero
There can be no doubt that the
years which he spent at Lerins exer-
cised an abiding influence on Patrick.
He was brought under the spell of the
monastic ideal. and though his life
was not to be sequestered, but out in
the active world of men monastic So
cieties became a principal and indis-
pensable element in his idea of a
Christian church. At Lerins perhaps.
his desire, so far as he understood 1t,
was to remain a monk. But there
were energies and feelings in him
which such a life would not have con-
tented. At the end of few years he
left the monastery to visit his kins-
folk in Britain, and there he became
conscious of the true destiny of his
life"
A self-revealing dream convinced
Patrick that he was destined to go as
missioner and helper to Ireland-to
the limit of the world In A. d. 432
Patrick was consecrated bishop of the
Scots, as the Irish were then called.

OF all that hefell Patrick during his
captivity we learn little, yet the little
knowledge we possess is more im,ne-
diate and authentic than our acquaint
ance with any other episode of his
life. because it comes from his own
pen. For six years, according to the
common tradition and general belief
Patrick served a master whose name
was Miliucc. His lands and his home
stead were in northern Delavadia. and
Patrick herded his droves of pigs on
Mount Miss.
While he ate the bitter bread of
bondage f.. foreign land. profound
spiritual change came over him. He
had never given much thought to his
religion, but now that he was a thrall
amid strangers, "the Lord" he says,
Opened the sense of my unbelief"
The ardor of religious emotion, "the
love and fear of God" so fully con-
sumed his soul that in single day
or night he would offer hundred
prayers, and he describes himself in
a woodland or on mountain side, ris-
ing from his bed before dawn and
going forth to pray in hail or rain or
snow. Thus the years of his bondage
were also the years of his 'conver-
sion" and he looked back upon this
stage in his spiritual development as
the most important and critical in his
life.
The book in which he describes his
escape and strange adventures in his
journey through Gaul and Italy was
written by Patrick when he was an
old man. He rigidly omitted all de-
tails which did not bear upon his spec
ial purpose in writing it.
That the land of his captivity was
Ireland. this was indeed significant;
but otherwise names of men and
places were of no concern. and might

for doubt in this matter. The men
that are giving life and vitality to
the Hearst movement in New York
are Bryan men, men who voted for
Bryan, many. of whom preferred
Roosevelt to Parker.
1t is undoubtedly true that the men
who were false to the democratic
ticket and fought against the election
of Bryan in 1896 and in 1900 in New
York are now turning to Bryan in
desperation, and they undoubtedly
hope to use his popularity to check
the spread of the Hearst movement
in New York. But, a stampede to-
wards the Bryan band-wagon has set
in and the Cleveland followers in all
of the states seem to be headed in
that direction. The underlying reason
for this is they recognize Bryan's
strength, that he is the rising colossus
of politics, and that he derives
his strength from the liberty loving
voters of all parties who have learned
to love and honor a brave and true
leader who has won them by his
loyalty and steadfastness to principles
through both good and i'll repute. That
politicians, as such, will recognize the
band-wagon and climb on board is but
natural, and to be expected. That
the old machine in New York should
eagerly seize upon Bryan's popularity
and attempt to profit through an in
dorsement of him is but natural.
