ST. PATRICK'S LIFE AND DEEDS.
Details Concerning lreland'S Patron
Saint Are Rather Obscure.

Yesterday was St Patrick's Day
and as the Times Dispatch so well
said. Everywhere throughout the
world tooay. where beats an hon
est heart. the name Of Saint Patric@
is nonorod and revered."
ST. Patrick lived in ireland. He
wrote a document called THE Con
fession." and he preached the Cos
pel to th, Irish people. These four
facts are virtually the only ones con-
cerning the life of the great patron
saint OF the Land of the Shamrock
upon which historians agree. Deep
obscurity surrounds the actual de-
tails of the life and deeds OF ST. Pa
trick. No. only do historical author
tiles differ regarding many of the
details of lis life. but such a mass
of legend has sprung up in the
course of centuries that it becomes
difficult in the extreme 10 separate
facts from tradition. Jocelin is the
authority for the statement that ST.
Patrick was born in Britain, while
other accounts state Scotland wa
his birthplace The date OF his
birth is given as 372 and it is be-
,iaved that ne went 70 ireland as a
missionary in 432. dying in 4so at
the age of 1913 years and leaving a
Christian people. whose faith has
persecution to this day. In his
youth the great missionary, accord
ing TO Jocelin. was wild lad, and
at the age OF sixteen was carried Off
nv pirates and sold into slavery. lie
was then said to posses supernatu-
raj powers. After obtaining his iree-
dom he returned to his home. and
there he had vision in which he
heard the voice of generations oi
Irish vet unborn calling him TO saV p
them. In obedience to this vision
ne wen. to France. where he studi-
Cd theology. and thence to Rome
whence Pope Celestine sent him to
Ireland OF the legends about ST.
Patrick. none is more famous thau
that concerning the shamrock and
that concerning the snakes. The
shamrock tradition has him at Tara
teaching the king and his court the
truths of religion. The king was un
able 10 understand the mystery OF
the Trinity. ST. Patrick, realizing
the difficulties in making the doc
trine comprehensive. sought to sym
bolize il in some way. Happily hit
ting upou the shamrock. he called
the monarch's attention to the un-
ity of the flower and the trinity OF
it's leaves The symbol satisfied the
royal mind and brought conviction
and conversion The legend OF the
snakes is tc the effect that st. Pa
trick entirely rid ireland of reptiles
by making a wonderous drum, the
sounds of which caused the serpent
throughout the island to wriggle to
the sea coast. and plunge into the
ocean.
