WORTHY OF TRIBUTE

The world pause5 for a moment today to pay de-
served tribute to a brave and worthy man-St.
Patrick
A pioneer for the cause of Christianity, he did a
great work in fallow field in his life of incessant
toll and daily peril.
Historians, notorious for their disagreements,
clash on almost every fact concerning st. Patrick.
His name was not Patrick. 1t Succat and he
also was called Cothrigge, which was latnized as
Patricius.
He was not born in ireland, but in an English
coastal village Bannavem Tabernae, being taken as
a captive to the Emerald isle while in his teens.
He was not born on March IT, but that was the
date of his death 1t was celebrated because in those
times the day on which a entered the world of
bliss above was accounted greater day than when
he entered this vale of tears.
Historians scott at the legend that he drove all
the snakes from ireland. However, they are fairly
well united in the view that he did a far greater
thing, in driving the Druids from the land the
snake myth arising from the fact that the Druids
were devotees Of ophiolatry or serpent worship.
There even is dispute as to whether st. Patrick
was Roman Catholic. But the petty squabbles of
historians not hide the outstanding fact that
Patrick, Succat Cothrigge, or whatever his proper
name might be- deserves the tributes which
bestowed upon him today, more than fourteen CEN
turtles after his death
