who had come to the abbey learned
to follow him.
The following story is told about

health for, some time and had devoted
himself to translation Of some Of the
scriptures. He was almost through
translating the gospel Of st, John when
he realized that he was about to die.

monks had gone to their duties, and
Bede and his scribe were left alone.

BY FRANCES MARSHALL.

The men and women who have
brought fame to the names of life were
many Of them, like Mother Eve herself
the first of them leaders or forerun-
ners.
Ambrose. one of the greatest early
fathers of the church; Athanasius. faith
CT Of orthodoxy; the Venerable Bedc
father of English history; dozen
saints named Viva, Vitus, Vitalis, Anas-
tasla and Begga, several empresses OF
the east named Zoe, four or five popes
and two emperors named Athanasius-
these men and women of medieval
fame were leaders of the world.
1t was the desire for life in this world
and the next which made these names
SO popular in the early middle ages.
Zoe IS an early rendering Of the Hebrew
Eve, from chavva, life. Eva, Evalina
and Evaline are from the same source,
although sometimes they are used as the
equivalent of an old Celtic name mean
ing pleasant. and Evelyn is Il masculine
name meaning hazel. Ambrose, immor-
tai; Athanasius, undying; Anastasius,
Anastasia and Anstace, resurrection, are
Greek names. Bede. Bedaws, Beoga,
Beth and Bethia-these last two some
times from the Hebrew name meaning
daughter OF Jchova-are the Celtic
names Of life. Vivian, Vitus. Vitalus
aud Vitalianus arc from the Latin word
of life. All these names sprang into
popularity as the new religion, with its
promise Of future life. spread in Europe.
And the fact that they are borne by
several early saints and martyrs, lead
ers in their field, made them doubly
popular.
Two of these, man and a woman,
were martyrs in the reign of Nero, from
81 TO 68 A. D. Anastasia. supposed
to have been a pupil of the Apostles
Peter and Paul, hid herself from the
pagan emperor's soldiers in vault
But man whom she had refused TO
marry discovered her whereabouts,
made it known to the soldiers and she
was killed. Vitalias, one of Nero g
soldiers, was converted by st. Peter,
and martyred

was martyred at Alexandra in 205.
her rather was pagan and tried to
persuade her TO give up the new faith,
But she was firm, even after she had
spent many days in prison, and had
been exposed TO wild beasts in the
arena, She was a beautiful woman, and
her lailers learned to pity her. When,
with others. she was finally condemned
to die in the amphithcater, the gladl-
ator to whose lot her death fell faltcred
and she herself helped guide his
trembling sword to vital spot.
Next In point Of time was st. Yitus,
the son of noble Sicilian pagan, The
boy WAS converted when he was
twelve years old by his nurse and her
husband. His father became angry and
locked the boy in q room without food
But when a little later the father
looked through the keyhoIe he saw his
rebellious son dancing, as the story
goes, with seven angels, When he was
released Vitus fled tr Italy, where he
was killed by Dioeletian s soldiers.
St Vitus is one Of the fourteen pa
tTon saints Of Germany. There is
some difference of opinion about the
way the nervous disorder, st. Vitus 8
dance, got its name. There was a mid.
die age belief that visit TO one of
the saint IS chapels cured disease: and
there was a lator belief that dancing
before his shrine~on his festival day,
June Is, would insure good health for
the. ensuing year. Perhaps this dance
which was supposed to be cure was
confused with the disease known as ST.
Yitus Is dance.
Saint Begga lived several centuries
later than these other early bearers of
the namaa of life She upa Jricb horn
and about the year $40 was taken to
the north of England. She is noted
as the first nun to be consetrated in
Northumbria.

men Of these names-Athanasius, AM

There, in ono Of the greatest cities of
the Roman empire, he served as bishop

court at Milan. He WAS gentle. wise
and Just, and soon everybody in Milan
and in the country roundabout loved
him. SO in 374 they asked that he be
made bishop. Ambrose demurred. At
that time he was only catechumen,
or student Of Christianity But the
persuasions Of the people of Milan won
the day. Ambrose was baptized and
eight days later consccrated bishop.
