   “One day when I was sitting at the fire an old man named Arthur Livingston came to our door. I went over to it, opened it and asked him to come in. He came in, sat at the fire and began telling stories. Here is one of the stories and perhaps the best one he told me.

   One time when Saint Patrick was teaching the True Faith at Box Upper in the parish of Donaghmoyne he became very tired. He saw a river near-by and decided to bathe his feet in it. He felt very much refreshed after doing so. This stream is regarded as holy and any person that bathes his feet in it immediatley becomes wonderfully refreshed.
