of ST.
Patrick

A good deal of scholarly research
has recently been given to St. Patrick
by both British and German authori-
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 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 person named
Sen -Patraic, and also called "Old Pat
rick, is now treated as myth by in
vestigators. Saint Patrick's own name
was Latin pseudonym, and as he
wrote it, "Patricius," means "patri-
cian.' or gentleman" Strengthening
the former belief that he was tradi-
tional, or the personifcation 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 he penned
himself. There are two of these. The
more informative is his Confession, -

And the Druids saw Fate was now

written when he was an old man. ana
the other, his Letter to Coroticus,"
written against British chieftain
who had carried off some Irish con-
verts as slaves: Scholars who former
ly doubted the genuineness of the con-
fession have since admitted its au-
thenticity, and Prof. Bury demon
strates that it could hardly be forgery
because the text, on critical eXamina-
ton by the most searching modern
methods, is consistent in every detail,
while the strong personal feeling dis
played is the highest proof of all that
it is a genuine document. And the
letter is Identical in style. There are
also many other documents of Pat
rick's time or later, from which a
compact body of genuine information
has been siftedl
The legends that have grown up
around him are much more beautiful
than ascertained fact surviving in the
old manuscripts. Under heather re-
Iigion, Ireland's priests were the pow
erful Druids,. priests and magicians
who had supernatural lore and inno-
skill i'm poetry and knowledge of the
laws and history Of the island. They
were naturally opposed to new creed
that would abolish their power. Yet
it is; conjectured that their opposition
to Patrick was not great, because
they had little organization. And Pat
rick very wisely engrafted Christian
ity onto old pagan beliefs. The Irish
believed in demons. So did the Chris
tan church of that day, and Patrick
carried with him exorcists whose spe-
cial function was to deal with demons.
Patrick believed as firmly in the evil
powers the Druids fought as they
| themselves. So both met on common
| grounds. His aim was to show, not
that they were wrong but that his be-
| lief and his God were more potent
/ than theirs.
This is the fact Of the matter. But
the legends tell more interesting
story and myths though they are,
their beauty is compelling
Two maidens, daughters of the high
King, lived at Crochan to be educated
| by the Druids. They went one day TO
| fountain to draw water and found
| Patrick and his companions sitting
I there. They questioned him. thinking
| him supernatural, and he converted
| and baptized them in the fountain.
They Immediately fell asleep in death
| and were buried near the fountain.
In these poetic old stories, woven
| around the saint by an imaginative
| people, and polished by centuries of
| telling, there are grains Of historical
| fact, such as names of persons and
| places, records of ancient customs and
other hints, that throw light on Pat
| rick's real work. He lived 81 years in
Ireland and founded many churches,
made the nation Christian as whole
and brought Ireland into connection
With the Roman empire, making it q
part of Christendom and civilization.
There were Christian communities
before he came, but without him these
might have died out He brought ma
terial benefits as well as spiritual
for he diffused knowledge of Latin
and thus put Ireland in touch with the
worlds letters and arts.
