~ Festival Star "There is no saint of whom more Lives have been written, or fables told, than of St. Patrick, the Apostle of Ireland." As a result, I will relate only the facts that competent scholars ‘agree are historical. In the loneliness of his captâ€" Ivity Patrick turned to God. He would pray as many as a hunâ€" dred prayers by day, and almost as many by night. In his "Conâ€" fessions", he writes, "the Lord opened the sense of my unâ€" "The Wearin‘ O‘ The Green" will again set the heart of the Emerald Isle reminiscing about her beloved patron, St. Patrick. Tradition _ unanimously â€" states that March 17 was the day of the saint‘s death, and to this day the heart of Old Ireland is stirred by his memory. At the age of 16, Patrick was carried from his native England to Ireland by a band of Irish marauders. He was sold to an Irish chief who gave him the menial task of tending his pigs in the fields. At the Kiwanis Musical Festival in Toronto recently, Jacqueline Greaves of 12 Boyd Ave., Wesâ€" ton, obtained the highest marks in a combined class of 81 comâ€" petitors and played at the Stars of the Festival concert at Masâ€" sey Hall on Monday evening, February 28th. Jacqueline is a pupil of Miss Luffman of William Street, Weston, and attends Memorial public school. _ 47 MAIN S$T. N. By Rev. Walter H. Welsch, B.S.A.

Glenâ€" lea Division will include Harlea While on a visit to his parâ€" ents in England, he received a vision in which "the Voice of the Irish" begged him to "come and henceforth walk among us." When he expressed his wish to go to Ireland, Patrick‘s seniors loudly criticized him as a,"sinâ€" ner", "rustic‘, and "unlearned". They were firmly convinced that Patrick was not God‘s man for Ireland. Amidst all these conâ€" demnations Patrick, newly orâ€" dained a Bishop, returnedâ€"to the country of his captivity with a love for the Irish and a zeal to convert them to Christianity. After six years of this slavery, he escaped by boat, reportedly to Gaul (France). The next 22 years of his life are virtually unknown to us because of the lack of information. He spent time in study and missionary work. But these intervening years were mainly filled with privation and tribulation. Thursday evening, March 10th Norwest Division Girl Guide executive met at the home of the Division Commissioner, Mrs. Howard Graff. It was announced that Norwest Division was growâ€" ing so large and expanding so rapidly that the need to divide had arisen. .

St. Patrick preached the mesâ€" sage of faith, hope and love in a day of fear, unrelieved by any gleam of eternal hope.
