Each drank some of the beer. Ac-
cording to Spencer, OMalley drank
several glasses and the little girl but
a sip. The report of the analysis was

aire replied: at shall not bc, but we
will go and see the issue oil the mat
ter and we will put to death those
who do such sin against our king
dom.' The King and his queen with
the druids proceeded to the scene only
to be tlissuaded from their purpose in
the presence of Patrick. One of their
number was converted. From that
time OH Loigaire stood i'll awe of Pat
rick and though he never became a
convert, he did not oppose the spread
of Christianity among his people.
The Shamrock and tho Green.
It was while ST. Patrick was ex-
planning the new creed to all assem-
blage of mobiles in the presence OF
King Loigairc that he stopped down
and plucked a shamrock to illustrate
the idea of the doctrine of the Trim
ity. In the course Of time by meton-
ymy the quality Of green which the
shamrock POSSESSES has been made to
stand for the shamrock itself. Hence
the custom of wearing green on st.
Patrick's day. Hence, too, the rea-
sons why the Jrishnan rescnts the
idea of associatng the green with I'M
becoming objects. For him it's real
e,;rr 4..,
Triune God.
The Rewards of His Labors
From the time of his advent in Ire
land there was no cessation in the
labors of st. Patrick until old age
bore heavily upon him. He went from
one part of the island to another
baptizing kings and mobiles and peas
ants, erecting churches and monas-
teries, ordainng priests and consc-
Grating bishops He baptized Conall,
brother of the Ard RICH, Logaire, and
Cona1l gave him site for a church,
He went to the plain of Mag Slecht
where the idol -Cruach stood and
in the presence of concourse of
worshippers struck it to the ground
At Killala, on hearing him preach, the
king and his six sons were converted
together with 10000 people. At Mas
he baptized. the two sons Of the king
of Linster and erected a church tho
ruins of which are still to be seen
While baptizing Aengus. the son OF
the king of Munster, it is said that ir
leaning on his crosier he pierced with
its sharp point the foot of the young
prince. After finishing the ceremony
he noticed the blood streaming from
the wound he had accidentally made
When he asked the young man why
he did not finch the prince answered
that he thought it was part of tn.
prescribed ceremony.
