poorest had more knowledge at that time than manya gentleman has now. But as
to the priests, their learning was above all, so that the fame of Ireland went over the whole world, and many kings from foreign lands used to send their sons all the way to Ireland to be brovght up in the Irish schools.
Now, at this time there was a little boy | learning at one of them who was a wonder to every one for his cleverness. His parents were Only laboring people, and of course very poor; but young as he was, and poor as he was, no king’s er lord’s son could come up to him in learning. Even the masters were put to shame; for when they were trying to teach him he would tell them something they never heard of before, and show them their ignorance. One of his great triumphs was in his argus ment; and he would go on till he proved to you that black was white, and then when you gave in, for no one could beat bim in talk, he would turn round and show you that white was black, or may be that there was no color at allin the world. When he grew up his poor father and mother were so proud of him that they resolved to make him a priest, which they did at last, though they had aearly starved themselves to get the money. Well, such another learned man was not in Ireland, and he Was as great in argument as ever, so that no one could stand before him, Even the bishops tried to talk to him, but he showed them at once they knew nothing at all.
Now there was no schoolmasters in those times, but it was the priests taught the people ; and as this man was the cleverest in Ireland, all the foreign kings sent their sons to him as long as he had house~room to give them. So he grew very proud, and began to forget how low he had been, und worst of all, even to forget God, who had made him what he was. And the pride o! arguing got hold of him, so that from one thing to anosher he went on to prove that there was no Purgatory, and shen no Heil and then no Heaven, and then no God and at last that men hat? re Souts, Dut were no more than a dog or a cow, and when they died there was end of them. ‘Who ever saw a soul?’ he would.say.. + if you can show me one, | will believe,’ No oue could make any answer to this; and at last they all came to believe that as there was no Other, world, every one might do what they liked in this; the priest set- ting the example, for he took a beautiful young girl to wife. But as no priest or bishop in the whole land could be got to marry them, he. was obliged to read the service over for himself, Jt wasa great scandal, yet no one dared to say a word, for all the king’s sons were on his side, and would have slaughtered any one who tried to prevent bis wicked goingsson. Poor boys! they all believed in him, and thought every word he said was the trath. In this way his notions began to spread about, and the whole world was going to the bad, when one night an angel came down from Heaven, and told the priest he had. but twentysfour hours to live, He began to tremble, and asked for a little more time.
But the angel was stiff, and told him that could not be.
‘What do you want time for, you sin. ner ?’ he asked,
‘Oh, sir, have pity On my poor soul!’ urged the priest.
‘Ob, ho! You have a soul, then,’ said the angel. ‘Pray howdid you find that out?’
‘Tt has been fiutteping in me ever since you appeared,’ answered the priest, ‘What a foo] I was not to think of it before.’
‘A fool indeed, said the angel. ‘What good was all your learning, when it could not tell you that you had a soul ?’
* Ah, my lord, said the priest, ‘if [ am| to die, tell me how soon [ may be in Hea- ven?’ .
‘Never,’ replied the angel. nied there was a Heaven,’
‘Chen, my lord, may | go to Purgatory ?
‘You denied Purgatory also; you must go straight to Heil,’ said the angel.
‘But, my lord, 1 denied Hell also,’ an- swered the priest, ‘so you can’t send me there either.’
The angel was a little puzzled.
‘ Well,’ said he, ‘ L'll tell you what I can do for you. You may either live now on earth for 100 years enjoying every pleasure, and then be cast into hell for ever; or you may die in twenty-four hours in the most horrible torments, and pass through Pur- gatory, there to remain till the Day of Judgment, if only you can find some one person that believes, and through his be lief mercy will be vouchsafed to you, and your soul will be saved.’
The priest did not take five minutes to make up his mind.
‘I will have death jn the twenty four hours,’ he said, ‘so that my soul may be saved at last.’
* You de.
On this the angel .gave him directions as |
to what he was to do, and left him.
Then, immediately, the priest entered the large room, where all his scholars and the kings’ sons were seated, and called out
But the shouts ot laughter that rose u drowned the priest’s voice. for they thought he was Only trying them fer argument,
‘Prove it, Master,’ they cried, ‘prove it. Who has ever seen God? Who has ever seen the soul ?°
And the room was laughter.
Uhe priest stood up to answer them, but no word could he utter; all hig eloquence, all his powers of argument had gone from him, and he could do nothing but wring his hands and cry out: —
‘There is a God! there is a God! have mercy on my soul!’
And they all began to mock him, and re«
peat his own words that he had taught them :—
‘Show him to us -
Stirred with their
Lora
show us your (iod.’ And he fled from them groaning with agony, for he saw that none believed, and how then could his soul be saved ?
But he next thought of his wife.
‘She will believe,’ he said to himself, ‘Women never give up God,’
And he went to her; but she told him that she believed only what he taught her, and that a good wife should believe in her husband first, and before and above all things in heaven or earth,
lhen despair came on him, and he rushed from the house and began to ask everyone he met if they believed. But the same answer came from one and all :.—
‘We believe only what you have taught us,’ for his doctrines had spread far and wide over the country,
lhen he grew half mad witb fear, for the. hours were passing. And he flung himself down on the ground in a lonesome spot, and weptand groaned in terror, for. the time was coming fast when he must die.
Just then a jittle child came by. ais save you kindly,’ said the child to. 8 ’
The priest started up. believe m God?’ he asked, _ ‘i have come from a far eountry to learn about Him,’ said the child. + Will your honor dizect- me te the best school That they have in these parte >
‘ Fhe best school and the best teacher is close by,’ suid the priest, and he named himself.
‘Oh, not to that man.’ answered the child, * forl 4m told he denies God, and Heaven, and Hell, and even that man has a soul, because we. can’t see it; but | would soon pat him down,’
The priest looked at him earnestly.
‘How?’ he inquired.
‘Why, said the child, + | would ask him if he believed he had life to show me his life.’
‘But he could not do tbat. my child,, said the priest. «Lite cannot be seen. we have it, but it is invisible.’
‘Then if we have life, though we cannot see it, we may also have a soul, thougia it is invisible,’ answered the ehild.
When the priest heard him speak these words ‘he feil down on his knees before him, weeping for joy, for now he knew his soul was sate; he had met at last one that believed. And he told the child his whole story: sll his wickedness, and pride, and blasphemy against the great God: and how the angel had come to him and told him of the only way in which he could be saved, through the faith and prayers of someone that believed:
‘ Now then,’ he said to the ehiid, ‘ take this penknife and strike it into my breast, and go on stabbing the flesh until you sea the paleness of death on my face. Then watch—for a living thing will soar up from my body as I die, and you will then know that my soul has ascended to the presence of God. And when you see this thing, make haste and run to my schoo! and cail on all my scholars ,to come and see that the soul of their master has left the body, and that alle taught them was a lie, for that there is a God who punishes sin, and 4 Heaven s® Hell, and that man has an im- mortal soul, destined for eternal happiness or misery.”
‘l will pray,’ said the child, to have courage to do this work,’
And he kneeled down and prayed. Then when he rose up he took the penknife and struck it into the priest's heart, and struck and struck and struck again till all the flesh was larcerated; but still the priest lived, though the agony was horrible. for he could not die until the twenty-four hours had expired. At last the agony seemed to cease, and the stillness of death settled on his face. Then the child, who was watching, sawa beautiful living crea. tare, with four snow white wings, mount from the dead man’s body into the air and go fluttering round bis head.
So he ran to bring the scholars, and when they saw it they all knew it was the soul of their master, and they watched with wonder and awe until it passed trom
