Far hack in the dim ages of history there lived a man
• called Patrick, whose famous life exerr’aed a profound in
fluence over the Irish nation. History gives us lew definite
.‘acts about bis life, but the old tradition' .bud it that he found
no Christians in Ireland, anil, left no heathen -YPhen lie got
through. • ‘ -
^ Perhaps that alutement was exaggerated! but anyway he
waa. a marvelous -• preae hert and- -no jlpubf had that wonder-
ful power of persuasiveness for wjiicli the Irish race has been
• rtmatkalfiiv and .wjtich'limt-given it a large, fdaee in hisiotV.
------- H *♦ a^r»*af-epo«-+r-rrr the*dttr of a nation" when it turns
.‘from tiie darkness uf Jiealhendum to the light of-Christianity.
The old heathen life kept nations stationary. It was a-tihie of
wars- and conflict'. and little if ntTy doclal progress. When
Christianity, comes it brings the school house and the arts
of civilT/.lfl ion, anil a country begins-to make gains and take
its place among the nations of the world. SI. Pal tick might
be consideted the most*formative force m the, history of tin-
famous people. *" ' . , ^
Those were dark and storfny tlines jn which he lived. It
took real courage then to go about through those wild lands,
and deal with -wilder and rougher men. Patrick seems to
have had a heart* of love, and when he fold the Christian
story, people said that wad a better wav. to live,.and they
cast aside their old pagan, ideas and built churches.
Well may the Irish people look back with pride un Itt.
Patrick’s -slay. March 17, on this warm hearted o,ld saint,-
whose mungetic wolds drew-the people 6Id of'the darkness
of pagan life. Any nation would be proud to own such a
representative of Christian faith. That some warm heart,
that helped St. Patrick convert tIn* heathen is a large factor
today in thi* success of the Irish rare.
