De- spite the fact that authentic records < of St. Patrick are to- be had, some dating back almost to his own time, the average reader will probably ad- mit that all he knows about St. Pat- rick is that he drove the snakes out of Ireland and is beloved by the Irish. But St. Patrick is more deserving of honor and fame for turning the Irish from their worship of idols and hob- goblins to Christianity than for rid- ding - the Emerald Isle of caeeping things. He was the apostle of the Irish, and there was no influence so great as his ip the history of the race.
