founder of the great Welsh monastery of Llancarvan, in which he gave
religious instruction to the sons of the neighbouring princes and

_True life of man
Is life within._

This thought is taken from one of St. Teresa's beautiful works.

'A part of one of Ceadmon's poems is preserved in King Alfred's Saxon
version of Bede's _History_.' (Note to Bede's _Ecclesiastical History_,
edited by Dr. Giles, p. 218.)

'L'origine irlandaise de Cuthbert est affirme sans reserve par Reeves
dans ses _Notes sur Wattenbach_, p. 5. Lanigan (c. iii. p. 88) constate
qu'Usher, Ware, Colgan, en ont eu la meme opinion.... Beaucoup d'autres
anciens auteurs irlandais et anglais en font un natif de
l'Irlande.'--Montalembert, _Les Moines d'Occident_, tome ii. pp. 391-2.

the Saint's Feast used to be kept on the 19th of October. Her remains,
as is commonly believed, still exist in the Cathedral of Oxford.

'The Icelandic chronicles point out Odin as the most persuasive of men.
They tell us that nothing could resist the force of his words; that he
sometimes enlivened his harangues with verses, which he composed
extempore; and that he was not only a great poet, but that it was he who
first taught the art of poesy to the Scandinavians. He was also the
inventor of the Runic characters.'--_Northern Antiquities_, p. 83.
Mallet asserts that it was to Christianity that the Scandinavians owed
