was q hero whose life was full OF TO-

self.sacrifcing labors for the land OF
his adoption. His birthplace Is not
certainly known, but Is credited to q
part of Italy cal Nice which now be-
longs to France. AS a boy. however,
he lived In the region Of the River

Fitzpatrick. We know that his ances-

was in his sixteenth year he went out
with his sheep and did not return to

too well, what had happened to him
For 1t was not an uncommon thing tc

their ships upon the exposed country,
carrying away captives to be slaves to

Chained In Mud Cabin.
The petty chief who was his master
set him to keep hogs by day. By night
he was chained within the shelter o.
a mud cabin, through the roof Of which
he watched the stars and prayed to the
God Of his fathers for himself and fol
the ignorant people by whom he was
surrounded. A great pity sprung uI
in his breast as he watched their idol
atrous worship and beheld the tyranny
Of their Druid priests. This pity, how
ever, did not prevent his hopes Of es
cape, which at last became possible
and he made his way alone through
the a to the sea, finally work
ing his ships passage to his Scotland
home.

But when the JOY of the reunion had
been tasted the thought of his former

After years spent in study at the best
schools in France, he went to Rome
where to his great Joy he received
probably in the year 431 A. D.-a com
mission to preach in Ireland. At the
end Of many years of heroic labor he
could count 365 churches founded and
more than 10000 persons baptized by
his own hand. He did not die until the
