Ireland re•sived Christianity through
St. Patrick, • native of Gaul, who, first
reached the island as • slave captured by
the king of the island in ooe of his in
Anhui into Gaul. The young Christian
aNggiath and when he next visited the
Mod it was as a missionary bearing the
ttis/tsage of salvation to the people. He
was not permitted to bed, sou he was
driven down the coast till he landed at
Sail in Down, very rear my birthplace,
where he made ante stay.rb in A. D.

it to Gay that at Tan he won the nation
to Christianity. and that from his labors
Scotland, Iceland, the Orkneys and even
part of South Britain received the Chris-
tian faith. We labor under serious dis-
advantages in Irish history, as the Roman
eagles, although supreme in Britain for
four centuries, never craved the Irish
sea, hour* we have no Latin helps in ser
early history as European nations have.
From reliable history we know, however,
that St. Patrick was sixteen ekes he
reached Ireland in 40b, hence be was
born ahoet 390, and that he died oft the
17th of March, 493, aged about 103yams.
He died in the monastery at Saul la
Down, where be first landed as a mis-
sionary,
itsionary, and was buried in Armagh.
Christianity introduced had its usual re-
sults in quickening the Intellect of the
people, and it is admitted by historians
that Ireland had the intellectual leader-
ship of Europe at least from the middle
of the sixth to the middle of the eighth
century. Her scholars gave character
.,d inspiration, and even as far back as
the eighth century an Irish
was shocking the savants of Germany by
maintaining the sphericity of the earth

rarely read each other's books, rarely en.

sod Catholic prejudice warps the mind
regarding the Protestant in the same
sed direction, sod might perohance add

largely In the nonsectarian trend of the
day. Humanity is coming together.
This is the case in Protestant divisions.
We have alliances a great
variety of belief en non essential mat-
ter. But still, Catholics and Proles-
tants
rot.►tants are too far from each otser ; are
unnecessarily estranged. The correc-
tion of this is largely in the hands of
their spiritual leaden. Every honest
man has a creed. Every Irishman cer-
tainly has, and a church. After all,
dear brethren, what are church and gym -
bola and sacraments but the scaffolding
by which our Heavenly Father would
drew our aflectioss to Himself, and
muse us "w love Him with all our
hearts and our neighbors as ourselves."
Now, if the and appliances
of the Catholic church accomplish this
grand purpose for multitude of ants
(and i dare not doubt it), why should I,
as • Protestant, object 1 Should 1 not
rather wish the church God speed 1 And
the same would I say mutafis wataadis

silenced forever by Him who said :
"leave ore •NOTHR$."
i have dwelt perhaps. too long on this
part of my subject, but my apology is
found in the fact that we have suffered
more from the demon of sectar'snisni
than from all other causes put together.

however, to, halt it perfectly understood

He then indignantly repu•liat . the ides
of personal intimidation. This letter
was not a personal one, but the reply of
a body representing the whole Irish 4,.
mosey. No wonder that Mr. Gladstone
sent his grain, the archbishop, "his sin-

Archbishop Walsh and Archbishop Croke

Irishman, but no lees true to the British

No power on earth can govern her ire
