Alfred's time-the ninth century
scholars from Ireland were welcomed
by the monks Of the famous English
abbey Of Croyland as instructors in

breviaries. That century was rude

century that Dermod MacMurrough

negotiated with Henry H. and invited

From that time dated Ireland's evil

tumult, leaving Erin's flag, If possible,
greener than ever.
During the first year Of the Chris
tian era the Irish flag was ornamented
with an ancient harp Of gold. And as
many of the people remained uncon-
verted to Christianity, half Of the sun
burst was blazoned on the flag. The
harp seems to have been heard for
the first time in Ireland during the
first year of the Christian era. 1t was
introduced by the famous Timotheus,
celebrated musician and poet, a de-
scendant of Timotheus of Miletus
The people of Ireland were thrown
into a state of such ecstacy by the
sweet strains of the harp that they
resolved to use 1t on the flag. And
during the first Christian year, when
the Psalms of David were being sung
with great pomp, tradition points to
the fact that the lost harp of King
David went to Ireland.
The harp became the music of all

in response to inquiries from the Unit

in vain. He picked up sprig of
shamrock and showed the assembly
three leaves on one stem, and they
believed the sacred mystery, and
unanimously erased the sun, the last
emblem of pagan Ireland, from their
flag in honor Of st. Patrick. And as
matter of history the flag, with a
green ground, white shamrock and

On Good Friday there was great
battle to be fought. 1t was the tenth

sovereign of all Ireland. The Danes
were gaining great power in Ireland.
They had crowned their Citric king
OF Dublin. The majority Of the Irish
peorle under the leadership OF King
Brian determined to drive the Danes
from the soil
One ot the daughters of the king
had designed and embroidered in
tapestry with yellow silk a beautiful
banner, and under that precious gift
on the following day the forces OF
King Brian were led to victory.
