There is not in all the Comics

any mention Of even one of these
distinctive doctrines of the
church Of Rome, which thing
would be a moral impossibility
if he had been papal legate.
but which is perfectly reasona-
ole when we remember that he

when the organization of the
Presbyterian church, according
to its present model, took place.
If this be true, then Irish Pres

early age, not far short of the
time of the apostles and long
before the church of Rome ap-
peared on the island once called
Hibernia and then Scotia ano

That Patrick was the frs

to the glory of this branch o.
the Kingdom of God, but it is
decidedly to the credit of Pat

in the history of the human race
Twenty centuries of Christian
ci. lIization, when war was de-
clared, were swept away IN a
night. and half the people of the
globe are in a death grapple.
It is appalling how little real
restraint religious sentiment ex-
ercises upon man, when opposed
to greed and ambition. God has
been forgotten by both sides
who impiously call upon him to
bless murder: rapine and earn.
age. We send missionaries to
the heather, preaching ''peace
on earth and good will toward
men," and yet, when the Holy
Father at Rome called on the
nations to respect Christmas day
and cease fighting, no heed was
paid. A pltying Jesus must have
turned his face and wept.
It has ever been thus in every
advance made by mankind. The
plow share of war turns under
the noxious weeds, fruitful fields
are given over to graves, dynas'
ties crumble and empires fade
away; then, in the freshness and
silence of a new morning: the
Divine Husbandman goeth forth
and soweth the seed of a ne"
and higher civilization. Human
| lily has never been born into new
lcycles of existence through ter
ror blood and death.
It seems to me that mankind
is now upon the field Armeged' :
den, dimly seen through all the
the ages by poet. and printer;
that the great battle is now on
between error aud truth when
| the immortal soul of man shall
engage in the last struggle with
his brute nature. The Good
Book tells US that this is to pre-
Icede the dawn of peace on earth
and good will toward man, for
which the Son of Man died on
Calvary's cross.
Let US pray to God that the
American Republic, the pioneer
nation of human freedom the
hope of the world, be not drawn
Iiuto this vortex of hate: blood

ENGLAND'S BLOCKADE.

ENGLAND'S BLOCKADE.
England has decreed it will
not allow commerce to and from
German ports, and it has declar
ed a blockade to enforce this
proclamation. This means that
neutral nations will not be allow
ed to carry ,foodstuffs or any
thing else to the German non
combatants or to land on Ger.
man soil. The United States
depends largely upon her com.
mercial relations with Germany,
and therefore the English decla-
ration is not to be relished by
this country. Senator Hoke
Smith of Georgia, who saw Pres
ident Wilson Monday after the
British note was made known.

Will sprotest against such Ia
course, and insist upon England
reconsidering her rejection of
the informal proposals for the
abandonment by Germany Of
her submarine warfare, if Eng.
land permitted foodstuffs to go
to the civilian population of en-
emy countries. England de-
clined this proposition, notwith-
standing the fact that it was
made clear that Germany would
agree. 1t looks to US that there
is determination on the part of
the allies to starve Germany in
to submission, and to accomplish
this they are relying upon the
United States to continue furnish
ing the material for them to
keep the war going, but
after the interest m n j.
tested by the United States in
bringing about peace Or a more
humanitarian warefare, and En-.
glands spurning of her kindly
suggestions, there is nothing
left for President Wilson, out to
insist that American shipping be
permitted to engige in legitimate
commerce with the world, and
for the ports of the civilized
world be thrown open to Ameri
can products for the enjoyment
and comfort of humanity. This
country is not at war. then why
say to it thou shalt not have
commercial intercourse with a
particular nation? Ii such is to
be the determined attitude of
England, it amounts practically.
to an unfriendly declaration
against this country. that IS
little short Of a declaration of
war, and the only redress Us we
see it, and have seen from the
beginning of hostllities, is for
this government to order an
embargo on all American COM
merce going to Europe. This
will affect certain interests:
mainly the grain and stock
growers of the West, and the
steel and iron furnaces of Penn
sylvania and Alabama: but in
the end, it will be a great bles
sing to the masses of this coun
try, as it will be a mighty in.
fuence towards shortening the
terrible slaughter in Europe.
True, if President Wilson takes
this position it may affect the
voting strength Of his party in
the West, but why should he
give that concern if his and Col
onel Bryan's doctrine of the
man being greater than the dol
lar is sincere.

ST. PATRICK, THE PRESBYTERIAN.

ST. PATRICK, THE PRESBYTERIAN.
TBY REV. I. S. McELROY, D. d.
He was a Scotchman by birth
and an Irishman by adoption.
He was born in Scotland near
Dumbarton on-the Clyde and he
was 'sborn again" in Ireland
while tending the herds of his
master on the steep sides of the
lSlemish mountains overlooking
the babbling waters OF the Braid.
The Britannica says that he
was carried away byfree. hooters
when fifteen years of age, from
the Romance Province south Of
the wall Of Severus and near the
head of the Sloway and sold as a
slave on the opposite coast in
Ireland probably in the County
Antrim, about A. D. Ali.
In his Confession Patrick says
his father owned a small prop
erty in the village of Bonaven
Taberniae in British and he calls
Britain his own country and
speaks of it as a different coun
try from Gaul, the name then
| given to France.
After six years in slavery he
escaped to his own people, but
he did not remain with them.
Ireland's need of Christ and His
Gospel had taken such hold on
him chat he returned to be unto
them one of the greatest of the
early missionaries of the Chris.
tian religion.
His education was limited; his
advantages were restricted; his
mistakes. were frequent, but his
success was large and his work
was great and permanent.
When he finished his course
and fell on sleep, Druidism had
received it's deathblow, the reli-
gion of Christ had been firmly
established and ireland was a
more delightful country than it
had ever been before.
About two hundred years after
his death, the fabricators of
myths and miracle stories began
weaving around his name and
into his history so many and
such absurd legends, that it is
now no easy task to separate the
truth from fiction.
Fortunately we have two
works by Patrick himself, called
his Confession and his Letters,
which all scholars agree are

The information contained in
these two writings of Patrick
shows quite clearly that he was
not a prelate huta Presbyterian.
Keeping clear of all the le.
sends and close to the records,
we will note these facts:
First: Patrick, or Succat, was
born in the Presbyterian church
IN Scotland, near Dumbarton, on
the Clyde, where his father was
a deacon and also q Roman mag
|istrate. His grandfather was a
Presbyter, sometime writ priest

that the priest works miracle
every time he consecrates the
wafer and the wine of the Lords

the flesh and the other into the
blood of the body Of our Lord

The church Of Rene lays
great stress upon purgatory,
where the souls of departed be-
levers are detained to suffer for
a season and until the prayers
and the masses of parish priest
shall prevail to secure their re-
lease, but Patrick taught, like
Paul, that for the believer ab-
sent from the body is present
with the Lord.
The church of Rome teaches
that the Pope is the Vicar of
Christ, and therefore the su-
preme head of all church and
State governments, but Patrick
never once made mention of the
Pope and evidently did not know
of any man on earth making for

Strong Charge to Jury.

WalterbOro. Nov. 17.-Court of
General Sessions opened here Monday

pCtlt juror. and the conscientious
pardoning power The dcliverey of
the charge was in the presence Of one
Of the largest crowds ever attending
court here.
Judge Smith opened his remarks
to the grand jury with the statement
that upon his elevation to the bench
he determined to attempt the accom-
plishment Of one thing-the impress
ing OF the grand iurieS of the State
Of their duty and importance.
Judge Smith requested the grand
jury to investigate the meth GdS Of Sc

attention to the fact that the conSti-
tuition provided that they be men Of
good moral character. Showing that
often there we're on petit juries men

judgment on blind tigers. He cX-
pressly condemned :he use of whiskey
by petit jurors during court week,
and stated that if one came before
him 'Eing whiskey he would place

The conclusion OF the charge was
devoted to the discussions Of the
cheapness Of human life in South

the Western States were used by the
judge in contrast with statistics Of
