SAINT PATRICK

It Is said that no other people under heaven have so scattered to the four quarters of the globe as have the Irish. Wherever they have gone, they have taken their veneration for the patron saint of the Emerald Isle, and upon the seventeenth of each recur- ring March have worn the shamrock and bit of green ribbon that tell their loyalty.
 Paul was the greatest missionary. The next greatest was Patrick of whom a Protestant minister once said: "The Catholics cannot claim Patrick alone. He belonged to the church universal, and in any age, in any country, or under any circum- stances, would have been a saint"
 This is the story of this remarkable man
 While the Romans were masters of Britain (England) there was living near the Scottish border a Roman deputy or magistrate by the name of Calpurnius. His father, Potitus. had died a priest, Calpurnius himself was deacon, and his wife Conchesa was said to have been a near relative of St Martin of Tours. The son of these good people was named Succat. He was sometimes called Patricius, l. e., patrician or noble born, and in time this name supplanted the other, and became shortened into Patrick.
 About A. D. All band of Picts from Scotland raided the country just south of Severus' well and captured a large number of men, among them Patrick now boy in his sixteenth year They carried their captives

across the channel into Ireland, and there sold them for slaves. Patrick was sold to a petty chief, Milcho, who lived in the county of Antrim, among the Slemish mountains He was set to herdng cattle, and for six years was out on the lonely hills. nearly all of the time by himself
 In his confessions" he tells us that he prayed "a hundred prayers in the day and nearly as many at night. In the woods and in the mountains l remained, and before the light l arose to my prayers, in the snow, in the rain for the spirit of God was warm in me.
 Near the close of the sixth year, when he was young man of 9, he had the first of his remarkable dreams. He thought he was told to return to Britain, and that he would find a ship waiting for him at the sea. shore Nothing doubting. he made his way down the glen to the beach. and sure enough, there was ship at anchor. He was roughly refused pas sage. Turning away, he fell on his knees in prayer, when one from the ship came to him and told him to come with them The channel was crossed, but he lost his way, He says: Tn 31 days, by and and sea, wan dering in a desert place. he reached home where he was joyfully re- ceived
 After an interval Patrick had an other of his visionAike dreams He thought man frora Ireland by the name of Victor camo to him, with his arms piled full of letters, Patrick opened one of these and 1t began: The voice of the Irish" Patrick con- tinues; While repeating the words I imagined I heard in my mind the voice of the inhabitants who lived near the wood of Fochlad, on the Irish coast, and they cried: We pray thee, holy youth, to, come and henceforth walk among us."
 Patrick thought this dream a call to carry the gospel to the Irish, but his people besought him with tears and persuasi1ns not to go. He grew

Never Overlooked a Chance.

When B.hop Talbot. now of the central Pennsylvania diocese, was "the cowboy bishop" of Idaho and Wyoming he never overlooked an op- portunity of securing contributions for the missionary work in which he took such delight. On one occasion, while attending a meeting of church dgnitaries in St. Paul. he was chatting with some other clergymen on the steps of his hotel when several ho- boes came along. One of them ap- preached and asked for aid Bishop Talbot took him aside and after short but earnest conversation tho other tramps saw something pass from hand to hand. What did he give you?" asked the other hoboeS when they all started away. Didn't give me nothing" was the disgusted reply. 'I gave him a dollar for his blamed new cathedral in Laramie"

 Now in those days, Ireland had a high civilization At the kings court were many bards and sages. Each of these had studied 12 long years be- fore he could put on the white feather trimmed robe of his order, or the six colored dress that it wa5 lawful for none but the king or an Illamh fila Ia wise man) to wear.
 Patrick saw clearly that, to convert the nation, he must first reach the king and this powerful court of learned men. He must be educated to do this. So for some years he buried himself at the school or church of Candida Casa, so called because Bishop Ninian had built it of beauti- full white stone. This was in south Scotland, and Ninan, noble-born. edu. cated at Rome, and who had himself converted the south Picts to Chris tianity, was of all men the best auali- fled to train ardent and enthusiastic Patrick for his life work.
 He was nearly, or quite, 90 when he reached Ireland, which he vowed never to leave At first every obsta- cle was thrown in his way. and once he was thrown into letters. Nothing daunted, he preached on every hill and plain He used to ring a hand boil to call the people together. This queer, four-squa,e bell of Patrick's is still preserved at Belfast It was long

 When a crowd gathered. Patrick $ wont was to read his text in Latin. then to translate it into the Irish tongue. After this he preached a plain, earnest sermon. couched in terms that all could understand. On one occasion when he was preaching in the open air, in the presence of the king. he perceived that the doctrine of the Trinity, the oneness of the Father, Son and Holy Ghost, was not grasped by his hearers.
 Stopping down, he plucked a leaf from a shamrock at his feet. He showed that each of the three leaflets was perfect leaf in itself, yet to- gether they formed but a single leaf a fit type of the Godhead. The illustra tion made a profound sensation, and to this day

 For five years Patrick preached the gospel with small success. Then King Leogaire McNeill and his court of sages became Christians. The com mon people followed them. so that the nation may be said to have changed it's faith in a day. There must have been something singularly winning about the man. Tho king heaped honors upon him; tho pope made him a bishop, and the naughty Ollamhs, or court sages, submitted their rites and rules to him for revis- ion. There was nothing of the fanatic about Patrick. He prohibited the Druid mysteries. magic and !ncants' ton. but left everything else as M ] had been. W3is
