Excerpt from Oration on "Saint Patrick"The ancient 'isle or destiny.' This was her destiny surely, and it is about to be fulfilled that she should be the home and the mother of saints - of doctors and holy solitaries, and pure virgins and martyrs robed in white, and of a people acceptable before the Lord. That the Cross of Christ should be the emblem of her faith forevermore, of her faith and of her trial, of her tears and sorrow, and of her victory, which conquereth the world. 0 golden hour amongst the hours! When the sands of the Irish shore first embraced softly and lovingly the beautiful footprints of him who preached peace and good things, when Moses struck the rock, and the glistening waters of salvation ¿owed in the desert land, when the Name, which is above all names, ' was first heard in the old Celtic tongue, and the Lord Jesus, entering upon his new inherit ance, exclaimed, 'this is my resting-place for ever and ever, here shall I dwell because I have chosen it.'About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
