the Western ocean. calling with one
voice to me. Come and dwell with usl'
My heart was so moved that | awoke,
and l give thanks to my God, who
after many years has given to them
according to their petition"
Thus wrote Patrick in one of his let
tiers preserved in the ancient book of
Armagh, which dates from A. d. S07.
In a dream he heard the cry Of the
dwellers in the forest Of Foclut:
sCome and dwell with us!" and his
thoughts carried him back to the days
when he was captive and slave in
that self-same forest by the Western
ocean.
Patrick himself does not tell us the
details of his stay in France, as he is
hurrying his narrative forward to the
time of his mission to Ireland; but
there is an abundance of very early
testimony in old Gaelic and Latin
which makes 1t certain that he. was
associated with three great men who
at that time dominated the spiritual
life of Gaul The first of these was
Saint Martin of Tours, native of
Hungary, son of tribune in the
Roman armies and himself a soldier.
Tradition says that Patrick's mother
was the sister, or at least close rela-
tive, of Martin of Tours, though his
fathers family belonged to the north
of Britain. close to the rock Of Dunn
barton on the Clyde.
Another great man with whom Pat
rick was associated at this time was
Saint Germanus of Auxerre. Like
Martin, he was of martial origin and
of bold. warlike spirit.
The third great man of Gaul who in.

young manhood-he was %. he tells
us. when he fed from slavery in Ire
er yenantius this ardent and aspir
ing soul had set forth to the east, to
give his life to the ascetic devotion
and spiritual seclusion which was the
ideal of eastern Christendom. On his
brothers death he returned and fixed
his abode on little island off the
Riviera, within two or three miles OF
Cannes. Here, with a group of kindred

disciples, as always, were their own
builders, masons and carpenters. Then
they added dwellings and places of
study, and soon they were immersed
In a life Of profound activity, spiritual,
intellectual and physical at the same
time. TO the perfect balance, self-sac-
rifice and devotion of this life Is due
much of the spiritual power of the
great men who went forth from just
such religious settlements as that of
Honoratus.
To this settlement among the blue
Mediterranean waves Patrick came
and here he studied for many years.
From his letters we can form a some
what precise estimate of what he
read. Latin had been his mother
tongue; the tongue, in fact both of
his fathers family in the Roman col
ony ON the Clyde and of his mothers
people. the family of the tribune in
the Roman armies. But, Patrick tells
US. he had neglected the study Of
Latin while he was boy, and had ap-
parently pretty well forgotten it dur
ing the six years of his slavery in Ire
land. where, however, he learned to
speak Irish correctly and even elo-
quently, as his intercourse with the
Celtic princes abundantly shows. In
the Isle of Honoratus he took up his
Latin studies once again, and attained
a fair proficiency in the tongue Of
Imperial Rome, as his Latin letters
show. His style is rugged, sometimes
obscure, but always forcible, often elo-
quent, and with the ring of entire sim
cerity and genuine faith. Patrick then
set himself to read and reread the
sacred books. New Testament and Old
! Testament alike, in the very imperfect
Latin versions which preceded the ac-
cepted translation of St. Jerome. In
his letters he quotes abundantly from
many books of the Old Testament.
In this Mediterranean isle Patrick
was within the spiritual province con.
Quered by the great Irenaeus, the dis
ciple of Polycarp, the disciple of st
John; and it is noteworthy that we
/ find the followers of COLUMBIA, the
Apostle of Scotland, likewise claiming
spiritual descent from st. John.
A very interesting fact has been
pointed out by Mrs. -Meares'
1t is that the chapel of Honoratus, in
which Patrick worshiped during sew
eral years, is dedicated to the Trinity,
and is distinguished INTELLECTUALLY by
a triple apse, three bays in the east.
ern end of the chapel IMPLYING the
triune godhead. The eastern END OF
the chapel floor and ceiling are, there
fore. in form like a trefoil or sham.
rock; and it may well be this familiar
building which suggested to Patrick
the smile of the shamrock to illus.
trate the teaching of the trinity. II
was in this little chapel on the Isle
ever since dedicated to st. Honoratus
that Patrick prepared himself for his
marvellous and fr- 'ul mission to Ire
land.
