FESTIVAL OF ST.
 WLLIBRERD, MISSION
 AIRY TO THE FRISIANS

The festival of St. Willibrerd will be ceiebrated today in Denmark and Germany by the descendants of those ne converted to Christianity in the nsventh century. St. wi1librerd was the nret missionary to the F'ris1ans,
 and was a native of Northumb berland. He had studied in Ireland under St. Bgbert and when he was thirty three years old felt inpened to labor among the pagan tribes of northern Europe. He gathered about him twelve faith ful companions and with them set out to the mouth of the Rhine. The dis trfcts which he entered were then oc- cupied by the Frisians. who were pa

gans. and for a time they steadfastly refused to accept the religion of Christ which Willibrerd preached among them. Realizing that his efforts were in vain, Willibrerd and his conpan- ions set out in the track of Pepin Heristal, and preached among the tribes who were subjugated by that mighty warrior. Here he was more successful, and converted mnltitudes. He built churches and appointed priests all over the land, leaving them in charge while he went on to preach the Gospel to the still un- converted tribes. Vvi1iibrerd was con secrated the first Archbishop of Utrecht, and continued his missionary labors in Frisia and Denmark until his death in the year 7Ss.
