Irish Cling to Old st.
Patrick s DayCuston1s
General Holiday Observed With
Church Services Prelude to Day of
Rejoicing; History of Saint Reviewed

Roman world. His journey OF 800
miles through the rugged noun
tain pathways and winding trails,
through ravines and valleys with
the great imnipotent hand guiding
him, he reached waterford where
the ship of his dreams lay at an
chor awaiting his arrival. Entering
Gaul, he found 1t anything but Q
land OF promise as the country was
already undergoing the trails and
horrors Of war. At the request OF
the pagan people, st. Patrick led
them to heaven Of peace, security
and plenty. Again st. Patrick and
his band were taken prisoners by q
band OF vandals but after two
months he won his freedom and
entered southern France, 9 country
less hostile to his mission band.
Voice OF The Irish
At length, seven years after his
flight from Antrim he left Ferns 70
return to his own people in Britain,
Scarcely had he undertaken his
Journey when the voice Of the Irish
was whispering in his ear to come
again to the land Of his choice
The love Of the land Of his early
years weighed deep on his soul and
bending his knee to Gods will he
again set forth on irish soil. His
mission now was to cover the whole
island and in the closing years Of
his work he accomplished this feat
The last years Of his life 457 to
46i were most fruitful. He passed
away in 465 and left to the Christ
ian world Q lesson that perhaps we
ought to take in our hearts and
give more serious thought.
The life story of the Apostle Of
Ireland Is well known to all Christ
ian people but his memory and &C
complishments stand foremost to-
day within the true light Of Christ
ianity. St. Patrick's prayer for Ire
land was the last Of his appeals
to God and that request granted
him. kept the faith warm in the
Irish heart through the channels
of persecution for centuries long.
A61 In u. s.!
In his honor several hundred
churches have been dedicated tc
him in Continental Europe. In Ire
land there are 1876 churches, Great
Britain, Is, in Australia, 164, "
Canada IS, and in the United
states where most of his mission
ary spiritual children live, there are
40i. Millions Of Catholics Of Irish
blood are celebrating st. Patrick's
Day, in all countries where the
light Of Christianity spreads its
heavenly rays, and are bending
their knees to honor the apostel OF
ireland, st. Patrick.
