It appears, however, that Archbishop Gualafer, as he is called, died shortly afterwards ; and, the canons of his cathedral church, according to their cus- tom, assembled together, to elect a successor. But, at this meeting, they were by no means unanimously agreed, as to the object of their choice. Adopting the advice of a religious and wise man, they prayed to ascertain the will of heaven regarding that person, who should be called to discharge the office of bishop. Their prayers were heard, for an Angel sent from Heaven

Rumold's election, and, in company with the canons, and a great number of clergy, they approached his father's court, bearing sacred banners. The king was not a little surprised at their approach. He received them, however, with great respect, and he enquired, at the same time, their reason for approaching a worldly prince, with such unwonted demonstrations. The Archbishop of Can-

STEPHEN.
The Archbishop and clergy asked the monarch's consent, as we are told, so that he would allow his only son, and the heir of his kingdom, to be conse- crated Bishop, according to the heavenly choice made of him. Already aware of his son's destination, the king assented to the Archbishop's and canons'wishes. Hethankedthem,also,forthehonourtobeconferredupon himself and upon his son. At the same time, he told them, that Rumold was then
engaged at prayer. He brought the prelates with their attendants to that part
of the palace, where our saint had secluded himself. The Archbishop thus
addressedhim "ORumold,inflamedwiththeloveofGod,beforethouwertcon- :
ceived in thy mother's womb, the Almighty hath called thee to be Archbishop over Dublin, and shepherd of his flock; that you may feed Christ's sheep with the sweet pasturage of the Divine word, that you may teach them to worship and reverence God himself, and, moreover, that you may illustrate Christ's Church with your blood. Wherefore, come, joyfully prepare thyself for that state to which the Lord Jesus calls thee, whom thou shalt follow and rever-
ence with love and willingness. For, behold, we have decided, on making you Archbishop of Dublin ; and the whole body of canons, by angelic moni- tion, hath elected thee, as their chief prelate. " On hearing such words, Rumold felt greatly alarmed, saying, he was unworthy of such a dignity. He endeavoured by every possible argument, to exempt himself from undertaking those arduous duties, to which he was called. At last, not wishing to dis- obey the call of Heaven, Rumold humbly submitted to the Archbishop. He was then conducted to the cathedral church. There, according to the Roman ceremonial, he was inaugurated Archbishop, with great pomp and rejoicing.
This being accomplished, the consecrating prelates retired to their respective dioceses ; taking leave of the newly-appointed Archbishop and of his royal parents. These latter even gave thanks to God, for the dignity to which their son had been called ; and they exhorted him to persevere in a work, he had so happily commenced. They entreated him, likewise, to offer up his con- stant prayers for the prosperity of themselves and of their subjects. Taking leave of his parents, Rumold commended them to the care of the Most Holy
1
Trinity. Having
now received a commission for the Divine word, preaching
his first sermon was delivered on the Holy Trinity, and commenced with
"
In the beginning was the word. " He dilated on the mystery of the Incarnation, and he explained the whole Gospel of that beloved disciple to his people. Rumold preached many sermons in addition, and he drew several to a profession of Christianity, from the errors of unbelief. These were probably strangers, who had frequented

miracles. 3 Many who professed the Christian religion, but who lived in a state unworthy of their profession, were moved to penance for their sins.
If we are to credit some of the later writers of St. Patrick's Acts, the Irish Apostle had built a church in Dublin—then a small village—when he is said to have arrived there, on his way to Munster. * This was called after him, and it is stated, also, that he built a mansion, near the present site of Christ's Church. 5 However, such account seems only to rest on unreliable twelfth century traditions. On the old Maps of Ireland by Ptolomy, Eblana is set down as the ancient name for Dublin. 6 When it had an ecclesiastical origin may be questioned ; but, it is doubtful if there were any bishop there, until the Scandinavians, who built walls around it, became converted to Christianity. This must have been long after the time, when St. Rumold is said to have
flourished. The site on which the present Cath—e- dral of Christ Church formerly the church —of the Most Holy Trinity stands is supposed to have been given by Sigtryg, Kingofthe Dublin North-
men, to Donough, Bishop of the Irish and Danes of
that city, about the year
1038. 7 Thisprelatecon- structed the nave and
wings of the cathedral, and at subsequent periods, succeeding Bishops and Archbishops of the See added other construc- tions. Itwasalsoliberally endowed with lands and revenues. The history of this cathedral has never been fully written ; yet, it should furnish materials for a large volume. At different times, it fell into decay, when it underwent many unsightly repairs. In our own day, a large amount of money has been
restoration, but for pur- poses of Protestant worship. * The architectural features of this cathedral before 10 and since have been very fully described. Its historic reminiscences
11
must be gleaned from various sources.
Rumold had been consecrated as bishop when in Ireland, it must have been for some other See than that of Dublin, and in some other place. It is use- less to enquire further into this matter, as no means have been left for us to form any tangible supposition.

The saint furnished a living example of holiness to all by his piety and
charity, as likewise by his extraordinary abstinence, constant labours and vigils. His humility and lowliness of spirit reconciled him to the privation of many things, which were necessary for his station ; and, whatever he possessed or was entitled to, he distributed among the poor, in Christ's name. " After he had ruled over his diocese for some time, being engaged at prayer about the middle of the night, and as formerly to St. Joseph/3 so an angel

" It appears, from his Life, that the chiefs of his father's principality had resolved on electing our saint to the throne, in anticipation of the reigning king's death. To him, Rumold was the only lawful heir. Revolving what had been declared by the angel, and considering that our Lord Jesus himself left his heavenly kingdom to descend upon earth,

resolved in like manner to obey the Divine will, by leaving his native country.
He thus took up his cross, in a voluntary spirit, and not being compelled
thereto, like Simeon the Cyrenean, as the author of his Life remarks. The better to accomplish his object, our saint left his native country, in a private manner, and without his designs being made known to the people, lest they might seek to detain him, against his will. 14 The saint embarked, it is stated, on board a vessel formed of branches woven together, and covered with hides, the interstices of which were coated with pitches He first sailed for England. He afterwards went to France. There, he found a man who was blind from his birth, and who asked for alms. Rumold replied: "I have neither silver nor gold, nor anything else, which I can give thee ; but, I entreat our Lord Jesus Christ, who of his Divine will opened the eyes of a man born blind, that he also would give thee sight, who hast been deprived of it from thy earliest years. In his name, I say to thee, arise and see, that thou mayest obtain by thy labour food for thy sustenance. " The man was immediately restored to the use of his sight, giving thanks to God and to his servant Rumold ; and, at the same time, he made a vow in presence of the Almighty, and in the name of his Blessed Virgin Mother, that from this time forward, he would serve them, with entire self-abandonment. This miracle induced many pagans, to profess the faith of Christ and to receive baptism. Several were moved, also, to a detestation of

in France, Rumold entered Upper Germany, where he announced the Gospel truths. Whilst there, he was accosted by a pagan, who was a leper. He thus addressed Rumold: u If thou art a holy man, as they say thou art, give me
" I have no temporal alms to bestow on thee, but I will give thee spiritual favours. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, who cured ten lepers, arise from this place in which thou art ; then, trusting in God, believe in him, and presently thou shalt be healed from thy leprosy. '' The leper arose immediately, and his whole body was relieved from his loathsome disease. Believing in Christ, he was baptized by our saint, who then admonished him to avoid sin for the future.

According to the Life of our saint,20 St. Rumold arrived in this city,
during the pontificate of Pope Stephen II. , who succeeded Zacharias, whose death took place a. d. 752. " The commentators on our saint's Life are of

and about the year 755, Stephen accorded him an audience. On being introduced to him, Rumold threw himself at the Pontiff's feet and kissed them with reverence. He then besought the Pope to take the ring of consecration, which he had
received, when he had been consecrated Archbishop of Dublin. Full of

admiration, the Pope thus addressed him " Who art thou, son, what is thy

he could not be exorcised. Our said to the Bishop
"
May
our Lord Jesus Christ, who expelled a mute devil, through his benign mercy
and great power, restore thee to health. " He then commanded the impure
spirit to leave that man. Immediately, the demon departed; while the
wretched victim seemed more like a dead than a living person, on account
of those tortures he had previously suffered. This man's friends asked our
saint to restore him to bodily health, as he had thus been delivered from his
mental infirmity. Then, St. Rumold raised the man from earth, with his
"
Depart, restored creature, nor defile yourself any longer with crime. But, take care, that you recollect this hereafter, and that you com- mend me, also a sinner, to Divine protection. " The man was thus restored to health ; so that many, by this miracle, were powerfully drawn to Christ. 32 Setting out from this place, Rumold entered Germany. He passed on towards the Scheld, until he came to Brabant, 33 where he stopped at the pre- sent site of Mechlin, that place designed by the angel for his future habita- tion. This district was then a waste uncultivated desert, abounding in thorns, thickets, trees, and wild beasts. In this region, Rumold found a great number of people, dancing to the sound of harps, pipes, and other musical instru- ments; and this occurred, about the time when the Church celebrated our Lord's Passion. Seeing this, he interrupted their amusements, and began to
preach truths of the Christian religion. He announced to the rude people what sufferings our Lord Jesus Christ endured, for our salvation. This he accomplished, with such effect and holy energy, that the people were wonder- fully animated with Divine love, and to some extent, they were imbued with intelligent ideas regarding the Most Holy Trinity.
