SAINT
PATRICK
, in Land Where He Had
Been a Slave

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 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 priest, Calpurnius himself was
a 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,
1. e., patrician or noble-born, and in
time this name supplanted the other,
and became shortened into Patrick.
About A. d. All a band Of Picts
from Scotland raided the country just
south of Severus' well and captured
a large number of men, among them
Patrick, now q boy in his sixteenth
year. They carried their captives

across the channel into Ireland, and
there sold them for slaves. Patrick
was sold to petty chief, Milcho, who
lived in the county of Antrim, among
the Slemish mountains. He was set
to herding 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
In the woods and in the mountains
remained, and before the light
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 %. 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 doubling, he made
his way down the glen to the beach,
and sure enough, there was a 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 81 days, by land 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 vision-like dreams. He
thought a man from Ireland by the
name OF Victor came to him, with his
arms piled full of letters. Patrick
opened one OF these, and It began:
"The voice OF the Irish" Patrick con
tinues: while repeating the words
imagined 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 hencefortf
walk among us.
Patrick thought this dream a cal
to carry the gospel to the Irish. bu
his people besought him with tear
! end persuasions not to 60. He grew
The L'Anse sentinel., 1907-03-16

sick with anxiety, but at last vowed
to go, when he at once began to
mend. II sold my nobility for this
nation (the Irish)," he says. "but am
not ashamed, neither do repent. !
became a servant for Jesus Christ"
Now in those days, Ireland had a
high civilization. At the kings court
were many bards and sages. Each
Of these had studied IL long years be-
fore he could put on the white feather
trimmed robe Of his order, or the six
colored dress that 1t was lawful for
none but the king or an Illamh fila "a
wise mani 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 1t Of beauti-
full white stone. This was in south
Scotland, and Ninian, noble-born, edu.
Gated at Rome, and who had himself
converted the south Picts to Chris
tianity, was of all men the best quail
fed to train ardent and enthusiastic
Patrick for his life work.
He was nearly, or quite, 80 when he
reached Ireland, which he vowed
never to leave At first every obsta-
Gle was thrown in his way, and once
he was thrown into fetters. Nothing
daunted, he preached on every hill and
plain. He used to ring hand bell to
call the people together. This queer,
four-square bell Of Patrick's is still
preserved at Belfast. 1t was long
The L'Anse sentinel., 1907-03-16

known as "clog an eadhacta Phat-
raic ("The bell of st. Patrick's will.')
1t is six inches high, and is made of
thin iron plates riveted together.
Doubtless 1t was plain enough in his
day, but now 1t is set with gems and
adorned with gold and silver filigree.
When crowd gathered, Patrick's
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 leaf
from 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
At type Of the Godhead. The illustra-
ton made q profound sensation, and

when Erin's sons 60 marching down the
street, and fair ones lean
From balconies, with glowing cheeks to
hail the flag ofNgreen;
| The while they love their native land
from south to northern bay.
| They wear leaf of shamrock green on
| each st. Patrick's 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 day. There
must have been something singularly
winning about the man. The king
heaped honors upon him; the pope
made him bishop. and the naughty

their rites and rules to him for revis-
