ILLUSTRATED, over 500 active endnotes. Active table of Contents The
volume which we now send forth, contains careful translations of
Patrick's extant literary efforts, and an account of every known
and important transaction of his life. It also furnishes sketches
of the labors of Ninian and Kentigern in Scotland, and of the life
and labors of Columba, the apostle of the Northern Picts of
Caledonia, probably the greatest Irishman who ever served the
Saviour. It relates the wonderful story of the Hibernian mission
from Iona to the pagan Anglo-Saxons, presided over by Aidan, Finan,
and Colman, which, by the grace of God, resulted in the conversion
of at least two thirds of that people, whose descendants to-day own
so much of the wealth, commerce, territory, power, and missionary
enterprise of the world. Augustine, the Italian Archbishop of
Canterbury, and his fellow-monks, were little more than pioneers in
the conversion of the Anglo-Saxons. This glorious Hibernian success
rests upon evidence as strong as that which makes it certain that
William the Conqueror gained the victory over Harold at the battle
of Hastings. It presents historical testimony showing that the
ancient Britons, Picts, and Hibernians were not Roman Catholics. It
treats of the marriage of the British and Irish clergy, and of
their great monastic institutions, which were established as
missionary societies, theological seminaries, Bible copying and
distributing organizations, as parsonages for great numbers of home
missionaries, and as universities, divinely favored in imparting a
learned education to semi-barbarous Anglo-Saxons, and to
unenlightened youths from every quarter of Europe. It describes a
number of the leading doctrines and observances of the ancient
British and Irish churches, based upon their early commentaries or
other writings, which show a remarkable agreement with the creeds
and practices of the evangelical Christians of our day, but
especially with those of the Baptists. The story is one of the
greatest interest, and entirely controverts the claims of the Homan
hierarchy respecting these ancient Christians and the foundations
they established. Foot-notes furnish reliable authorities for all
the important statements that are made. I am indebted to the Rev.
Philip L. Jones, A. B., for valuable suggestions. W. C.
