ST. PATRICK AND HIS DAY.
In Iceland, 1,470 years ago came. St. Patrick and founded the Christian church. There is also a story that he drove in ikes from Ireland. There are alto other stories-Irishmen know many. Because of these things the men from the "ould sod celebrate March 17 year after year to do honour to St Patrick, the patron sator of Ireland To-day the world over silk tiles of many and various vintages are brought |-forth, and the Anciem Oider of Hibernians and other Celtic associations parade to the church. in Hongkong the celebration does not extend to the parade, but for all that the day is celebrated by sons of the Emerald Isle led so many miles from home, ¿
It is everywhere, among Irishmen, the occasion for the expression of the purest passions of loyalty and devotion to the Old Country, which all equally love, whatever differences of opinion as to its pulitics may exist Of every position and calling in life, every man with more than a drop of good Hibernian blood in his veins feels that on this day he is called upon to celebrate his share in the lieritage of a country that has produced some of the finest specimens of manhood and most brilliant examples of var ed genius that the past two centuries can show,
The Roman Catholic church, too, has always taken a strong interest in the day, und spaces in its observances, not only because it is a saint's day, but also because it is in comme- moration, not of St. Patrick's birth or death, but of the anniversary of his founding his first Christian church in Ireland on March 17,-435-
