"A NATION O Ireland's Hope of Home Rule I NATURE, GRACE AND $ $ TRAINING FITTED $ S ST. PATRICK TO 4 HIS TASK . $ So Well Accomplished, Ireland Was Known for Centuries els L the "Land of Saints" . fX T. PATRICK says of him self in bis confession that he was born at "Bannaven Taberniae," which is ex tremely hard to identify. Some, however, claim that Kirk-Patrick, near Glasgow, in Scot land, took its name from St. Patrick. The fcaint was born about 372; waB a captive and a slave of the king of Dalaradia, in Ireland, from 388 to 395; went to Gaul and was there ordained priest; was consecrated bishop and sent to Ireland as missionary in 432, and died at Saul, near Strangford Lough, County Down. Ulster, where ] many years before he had founded his j church, March 17, 465, the day now , Bacred to his memory. Ireland was then occupied by a j great number of petty tribes, most of , whom were evangelized by Patrick. So ( well was the work accomplished that , Ireland was known In subsequent cen- ( turies as the "island of saints and ^ scholars." , The method employed was that of , dealing cautiously and gently with the , old paganism of the people. The chief tains were first won 'over and then , through them their clans. Of St. Patrick himself much that has ] been related is fabulous, but' his au- , tobiographlcal confession and hisepls- ( tie to Coroticus, both of which are un questionably genuine, reveal a devout, , simple minded man, and a most dis- ] creet and energetic missionary. In his epistle he states that he was . of noble birth and that his father, , Calphurnlcus, was a Roman deculro. , tti _ _ 1.1 /-i-? xiiB mumer, ^uuuneBBci, ur ? was the sister of St. Martin of Tours. 1 The family of the saint Is affirmed by the earliest authorities to have ] belonged to Britain, but whether the ( term refers to Great Britain or Brit tany or other parts of France Is not ascertained. Some of the quaint stories told In Ireland about St. Patrick would make the traveler imagine that the saint visited the Island for the benefit of witty guides, or to promote mirth in wet weather. It is not remarkable that the subject of these stories for 16 centuries, at countless hearths, has been regarded and is today honored as the greatest man and the greatest ben efactor that ever trod the Irish soli, and considering the versatility of the Irish character, it is not strange that there remains respecting the saint a vast cycle of legends?serious, pathet ic and profound. It could not be otherwise. Such a people could not have forgotten the he ? tit Vi r\ 1 V* am f In f Ka ryit U5UIC TT UW l^U kUCUi 1U1 IU IU IUU exodus from the bondage of pagan darkness. In many instances doubt less haB the tale become a tradition, the foliage of an ever active popular Imagination, gathered around the cen tral stem of fact; but the fact re mained. A large tract of Irish history is dark; but the time of St. Patrick and the three centuries which succeeded It is clearly, as depicted by history, a time of joy. The chronicle is a song of gratitude and of hope, as befits the story of a nation's conversion to Christianity. The higher legends, which, how ever, do not profess to keep close to the original sources, except as re gards their spirit and the manners of the time, are found in some ancient lives of St. Patrick, the most valu able of which is the "Tripartite Life," ascribed by Colgen to the century aft er the saint's death. The work was lost for many centuries, but two cop ies of it were rediscovered, one of which has been recently translated by an eminent Irish scholar, Mr, Hen ressy. The miracles, however, recorded in the "Tripartite Life" are neither the most marvelous nor the most interest ing portion of that life. Whether regarded from the religious or philosophic point of view, few thing3 can be more Instructive than the picture which it delineates of hu man nature In the period of critical transition and the dawning of the re ligion of peace upon a race barbaric, but far, Indeed, from savage. That warlike race regarded It doubt less as a notable cruelty when the new faith discouraged an amusement so popular as battle. But in many re spects they were in sympathy with the faith. That race wa3 one of which the affections as well as the passion* retained an unblunted ardor, an?3 when nature Is stronger and less cor rupted It must feel the need of some thing higher than itself, Its interpreter and its supplement. It prized the Nearing Realization at Last family ties, like the Germans record ed by Tacitus, and It could but have been drawn to Christianity. Its morals were pure, and it had not lost that simplicity to which bo much of spiritual insight belongs. Ad miration and wonder were among its chief habits. It desired a religlou no smaller than the human heart Itself? a religion capable of being not only appreciated and believed, but compre hended In its fullness and measured In ail its parts. Warlike as It was, it was unbounded also In loyalty, generosity, and self-sac riflce; it was not, therefore, untouched by the records of martyrs, the princi ples of self-sacrifice, or the doctrine of a great sacrifice. It loved the chil dren and the poor, and St. Patrick made the former the exempliers of the faith and the latter the eminent inher itors of the kingdom. In the main, Institutions and tradi tions of Ireland were favorable to Christianity, and the people received fhn cnqrw>l Tf annealed to them and prompted ardent natures to find their rest in spirltuali things. It had created among them an excellent ap preciation of the beautiful, the es thetic and the pure. 1 The early Irish chroniclers show how strong that sentiment has ever been. The Borhrmean Tribute, for many years the source of relentless wars, had been imposed in vengeance for an insult offered to a woman, and i discourtesy shown to a poet had uverthrown an ancient dynasty; an unprovoked affront was regarded as a great moral ofiense. And severe pun ishments were ordained not onl7 for ietraction, but for a word, though ut tered in jest, which brought a blush Dn the cheek of the listener. It was not that laws were wanting; i code minute in its justice had pro portioned a penalty to every offlense. [t was not that hearts were hard-* there was at least as much pity for Dthers as for self. It was that anger was implacable, and that where fear was unknown the war field was the happy hunting ground. The rapid growth of learning, as well as piety, in the three centuries succeeding the conversion of Ireland proved that the country had not been until then without a preparation for the gift. Perhaps nothing human had bo large an influence in the conversion of the Irish as the personal character 8t. Patrick. of our apostle. By nature, by grace, and by providential training he had been especially fitted for hJs task. Everywhere we can trace the might and sweetness that belonged to his character; the versatile mind, yet the simple heart; the varying tact, yet the fixed resolve; the large desire tak lng counsel from all, yet the minute so licitude for each; the fiery zeal, yet the gentle temper; the skill In using means, yet the reliance In God alone; the readiness in action, with a willing ness to wait; the habitual self-pos session, yet the outburst of an in spiration, which raised him above him self?the abiding consciousness of an authority?an authority In him, but not of him. and yet the ever present humility. Above all, there burned In him that boundless love which seems the main constituent of apostolic char acter. It was love for God; but it was love for man also, an impassioned love, a parental compassion. Wrong and injustice to the poor he resented as an Injury to God. A just man, Indeed, was St. Patrick: with purity of nature like the patri archs; a true pilgrim like Abraham; gentle and forgiving of heart like Moses; a praiseworthy psalmist like David; an emulator of wisdom like Solomon; a chosen vessel for pro claiming truth like the Apostle Paul; a mafc of grace an<* of knowledge of the Holy Ghost like the beloved John; a lion In strength and power; a dove In gentleness and hamllity; a servant.' of labor In the service of Christ; a king In dignity and might, for bidd ing and loosening, ?or liberating and convicting. IRELAND'S SONG Of HOPE 2>?QWVC?y* LAND of the warrior hearts. Land of the souls of fire. Thy sad face pale To the dawn unveil? From sllence-bonda unchain thy lyre; Above thee slavery's dark cloud parts And tyrant foes abashed retire! Land of the strong and brave. Land of the tried and true; Thy spreading plains 'Neath the mild spring rains. Again are shining, fresh and new. And singing tides thy fair shores lave? Thy hopes shall soon be ripened, too! Free shall thy pure veins flow? Thy dormant pulse* leap. The scalding tear Shall disappear From thy wan cheek, and humbled creep The hydra-headed wrong which low Plunged thy fair brow in Sorrow's deep! Thy brooks and bounding streams. Grim war no more shall dye? The call to arms, The strife's alarms. The flame sheets, shrouding earth and Shall burst no more upon thy dreams, But gentle slumuers seal thine eye I Famine and plague no more Upon thy loved shall feed; The vampire maws Of bloody laws, Shall choke of their Insatiate greed. And o'er thy rock-encircled shore The seraph Peace all blessings lead! The gyves upon thy feet? The thong around thy heart. Their cankering grasp Shall soon unclasp. And through the wide Earth's every % part, Resounding notes of triumph sweet Shall tell the Joy that?free thou art! WORTHY OF HONOR BY ALL One Need Not Be of Irish Blood to Take Pride in the Work of 8t. Patrick. In Strangford Lough, County Down, Ireland, nearly 1,500 years ago, a missionary established a church, from which Christianity gradually radiated through the four provinces until It reached every Irish clan and Ireland became noted a* the land of saint ship. Authorities differ as to the birth place and early history of Saint Pat rick, but, after all, what does it mat ter whether he was Gaul or Briton? His deep piety, great learning and gentle persuasion brought all Ireland Under the Influence of Christ. No nation can be permanent with out religion. Ireland Is the world's great example of what a nation can endure through faith. All these long years of cruel oppression she has been true to the teachings of Saint Patrick and she has clung to the cross. Who would not Join the chorus of solemn praise in honor of the patron Baint of Erin? -? "S1 -I8 -J? Ireland's National Emblem. The harp was officially recognized as Ireland's national emblem In the coinage Issued In Ireland by the Eng lish sovereigns. It also appeared upon the great seals used In Ireland by Elizabeth and Crowmell. The Elizabethan Beal had the harp crowned, and for this reason, where the harp has been retained as the symbol of Irish revolutionary organl-. zations, It appear without the crown and with the strings broken. The idea is forcefully expressed in Moore's lines: The minstrel fell, hut the foeman's chains could not bring his proud soul under; The harp he loved ne'er spoke again, for he tore Its chords asunder. And said: "No chains shall sully thee, thou soul of love and bravery; Thy songs were made for the proud and free; they shall never sound In slav ery.' St. Patrick's Bell and Crosier.

Jt One That the Sons of ji jj the Emerald Isle Shall Ij , Be Judged by Him. jj HERE is an old legend?no doubt fondly hugged to an Irishman's conscience ? that at the last day of Judgment the sons of the Emerald Isle shall be Judged by St. Patrick alone. And for many centuries there was pointed out on the island of Lough Derg a cave said to be the entrance to St. Patrick's Purgatory?"and it should be to any one who had courage to go Into It as If he had passed through purgatory after death." Of entirely different nature Is the profane legend linking St. Patrick's name with that special delicate privi lege permitted the fair Bex every leap year. Shortly after passing the snake ex clusion act, St. Patrick met St. Bridget, who brought to him the com plaints of certain young ladles In her nunnery because they were debarred the Initiative privilege in afTairs of the heart?celibacy not then being compulsory unless a special vow had been taken. St. Patrick, duly consid ering the matter, suggested that the desired privilege should be granted once in seven years. "Arrah! Pathrick. Jewel," cried St Bridget, "I daurn't go back to the gurls wld such a proposal. Mek it one year In four." It ended of course in her gaining her woman's way, he gallantly giving ner leap year, "the longest one of the lot" And leap year it must have been then by lucky chance, for St. Bridget at once made good by popping the question herself. But as St. Patrick had taken the vow of celibacy, he could only offer the consolation prize of a kiss and a silk dress. if-???? ! St Patrick Story. March 17 has been, from the earliest times, celebrated as St. Patrick's day. When I was a boy in TIpperary they used to tell a Btory to account for the observance of the saint's feast on that particular day.- This legend wai to the effect that there was once a dis pute as to the date of St Patrick's death. With an ardor similar to that which inspires those who in literary circles today argue for or against the lunacy of Hamlet two great factions of Irishmen debated as to whether the saint died on the 8th or the 9th of March. Things waxed warm, as they are likely to in disputes, even among such genial people as the Irish, IUI1I4- svP and there was every pobbiuhil/ either one side or the other (or both) getting what ia known In Ireland as the "father and mother of a batln'," when In stepped between the contend ing parties some peacemaking genius, some Edwin D. Mead of that elder day, who said: "Stop ye're noise! Let us add the 9th and to the 8th and call It the 17th." Whereupon peace prevailed, and they all lived happily ever after.?Denis A. McCarthy, in the Boston Herald. '. Day Hald In Honor by All. The Incidents which survive in the recollections of a people and are handed down to their children are those which appeal most strongly to the popular mind and the character of a race may be learned from Its legends. About no figure In their na tional history have the Irish gathered so many legends as around that of their patron saint, Patrick, whose day, the 17th of March, is held In high honor by every Bon of Erin, no mat ter how far his home may be from the land of his fathers.

The discussion was sufficient to arouse friends of Chancellor Piney and to make some of them apprehen sive that the nomination might be re jected. His sponsors, however, ex pressed the belief that he would be confirmed very soon. The nomination was among a large number laid before the Senate as soon as the executive session convened. It was quickly confirmed in the routine way. Suddenly, Senator Bacon asked its status. Vice President Sherman announced that the nomination had be a confirmed. Senator Bacon then suggested that the confirmation should be held up until senator uuiDerson, who has been Inquiring into the decis ions made by the Chancellor, came into the chamber a moment afterward and joined the debate. Senator Culberson called attention to Chancellor Pitney's decision in what is known as the glass bottle blowers' case, that of the George Jonas Glass Company against the Glass Bottle Blowers' Association of the United States.

This evidently means that he remained three days in the vicinity of the Pole, probably for the purpose , of taking accurate observations as to bis position. Executed For Wife Murder. Macon, Ga,?The first legal hanging in Bibb county since 1900, took place when William B. Walker, a promi nent farmer, was executed for the murder of his wife,, Mrs. Annie B. Walker in August, 1910.

Although Hie action of the United States senate in connec nection with arbitration was antici pated in official circles, keen disap pointment is felt that it should be found necessary to amend the treaty thus nullifying the work of months; for, as it stands, it is considered that an agreement is practically useless. There is no resentment, however, of icials here having recognized that the British government did its best both to secure a good treaty and its endorsement by the United States. | Lydia E.
