When st. Patrick, or as he was then

slavery. His master was Miliue, chief

Here he lived for six years, herding
cattle and swine. Following instruc-

his master and, shipping as a servant

was simple and direct, within tbs

An illustration of his method is his
explanation of the Trinity, than which
no better has been found. He was
