Project Gutenberg 2007-10-12 Public domain in the USA. 88 Chaplin, Heman White 1847 1924 Saint Patrick 1887 Produced by David Widger "Saint Patrick" by Heman White Chaplin is a historical fiction piece likely written in the late 19th century. The book revolves around the life and legacy of Saint Patrick, exploring themes of faith, cultural identity, and the contrast between celebration and temptation associated with Saint Patrick's Day. It delves into both the historical context of the saint and the contemporary social environment surrounding the holiday. The narrative unfolds in a setting where the significance of Saint Patrick’s Day is palpable, with characters like Dr. Parsons and Mr. Martin preparing to address the community about the saint. As the story progresses, there is a juxtaposition between the lively celebrations in the streets, which include processions and dance-halls, and the solemn observance at the Day-Star Mission. Tension arises when Mr. Martin unexpectedly takes the stage instead of Dr. Parsons, leading to a less impactful speech that contrasts sharply with the thoughtfulness of Parsons’s preparation. Throughout the story, elements of humor and irony are woven in, as characters grapple with the complexities of faith, their cultural heritage, and the realities of life on the fringes of society.
