A good deal of scholarly research
has recently been given to st. Patrick
by both British and German authorf-
ties, and it Is now admitted that the
chief documents concerning him are
genuine. and that he really lived and
carried on in Ireland a work such as
has been attributed to him by tradi-
ton. Lately a new biography giving
st. Patrick an unquestioned place in
history has been published by Prof.
Bury of Kings college. Cambridge.
Three men of Patrick's own time
bore the same name and have survived
in records. This has confused scholars
who paid no attention to the myths.
One was an earlier bishop of Ireland
named Patraic. Another parson named
Sen Patraic, and also called "Old Pat
rick" is now treated as a myth by In
vestigators. Saint Patrick's own name
was a Latin pseudonym, and as he
wrote it, "Patricius," means "patri-
,cian," or gentleman" strengthening
the former belief that he was tradi-
tional, or the personification Of class
In ancient Irish affairs.
That Patrick really lived is now
beyond dispute. The important facts
about him, indeed. are in his own
writing, or at least exist as later manu-
script copies of documents ne penned
himself. There are two Of these. The
more informative is his Confession,

But the savage shouts that greet
this are stilled by old Tomasso, who
pushes through the crowd and stands
facing the platform, his eyes flashing,
and says: Il. Tomasso Monaldi, tell

At his words shuddering cries of
"Ghost!" Spirit" "Spectre!" rise

Saint Worthy of All Love.

Such was the personality of st.
Patrick that he has been claimed by
everybody of the Christian church,
and legends without number have
been added to his good works. 1t is
known that he was noted evangelist,
a bishop of the Catholic church, a
statesman of great ability, student
of humanity and friend of man. One
Of the earliest records gives an ac-
count Of his lighting a paschal fire on
the Hill of Slane in opposition to one
kindled by the Druids on the Hill of
TARA paschal fire that ecliLsed the
light of the pagans forever.
With torch of faith in hand be made
a joyful progress through the lovely
island, lighting the fires of religion in
every heart, founding a church for
every day of the year, setting school
beside the church and attended by the
affection and the prayers of all the
folk In Ireland.

The Trinity and the Shamrock.

The Trinity legend of the shamrock
appears first In literature in 1927, in
Caleb Threkeld's Synopsis Stirpium
Hibernicarum." Under the heading Of
"Trifolium pratense album" occurs the
following passage: This plant Is worn
by the people in their hats on the 18th
day of March yearly, which is called
Saint Patrick's day, 1t being current
tradition that by this three-leaved
grass he automatically set forth to
them the mystery Of the Holy Trinity.
However, when they wet their Seaman.
oge, they often commit excess In
liquor, which is not right keeping Of
a day to the Lord. error generally lead

WORTHY OF HIGHEST HONOR.
All the Christian World Is Indebted to
st. Patrick.

st. Patrick's day brings out In bold
relief the fact that one Of the most
warlike nations the world has ever
known cherishes as its patron saint q
missionary of the Prince Of Peace.
st. Patrick gained undying renown as
the personification of Irish ideals and
Irish national spirit because he won
Ireland for Christianity.
If the banishing Of the snakes from
Erin is fable it is fact that Patrick
expelled gross superstitions and gave
Ireland new bond Of unity and ma
tional feeling in the form of a far
higher religion than the Emerald Isle
had ever known. If much that is myth
ical and of no Importance has been
told of his life and deeds there is no
room for doubt that he transformed an
entire country and uplifted nation.
1t appears to have been a compare
lively easy task for the ardent and
gifted missionary of the church. Ire
land responded to his appeals with
one of those great waves Of swift en-
thusiasm which have always been
possible to the warm-hearted and
quick-thinking Celts. The emotion and
the thought Of race moved in unison,
and paganism was swept away as a
great wind might Danish fog.
1t is a fine analogy with Irish serv-
ices to the world many times since
Patrick's day. 1t harmonizes perfectly
with the hopes which may well be
cherished for the Ireland of the future
and for the children of Erin and their
descendants in all parts of the world.

Twas yesterday his shamrock come

And he sat down and patted 1t like twas

And like the love bear for II, still tender
young and green.
1t paints thousand things for mel wish
that 1 was there;
l wish that l was where they find the
green in County Clare"
And long into the night he sat adream OF
other days,
He whispered of the boyhood paths, as
one whose fancy strays
Back over long forgotten fields-and Their
with eyes afiame
He looked and looked into the past and
whispered mothers name!

"ApostIe of Jov.v

The shamrock, the small white clio
yer of Ireland, is associated with st.
Patrick from the day on which he
used the trefoil to illustrate the doc
trine Of the Trinity. 1t is interesting
to know that the Arabic name for the
trefoil is "shamrakh," and that 1t is
held sacred in Iran as emblematical of
the Persian triads.
The course Of st. Patrick through
Ireland, England, Scotland and Wales
may be traced by. the existence of
places named after him. Legends

tenure of the Irish chief secretary
ship. A cigar box, delivered to him
at the house of commons, contained a
bunch of shamrocks, From a sincere
Irish admirer." But, to the terror of
his secretaries, the box was also
found to contain wicked-looking steel
spring, covered with a queer white
compound. A chemical expert was
called and he examined the internal
machine"-everybody momentarily ex-
pecting an explosion. The puzzled
chemist, venturing to put particle Of
the compound on his tongue. found
that it was simply sugar impregnated
with lemon. He then turned the box
upside down and out rolled a rusty
ccskscrew, spiral spring and an old
nutmeg crater. There was also a
scrap Of paper inscribed: BUY the
whisky yourself; you can then con-
coct the famous lemonade of Bally.
