New Saints arose with new heretics, new leaders with new attackers. A glance at the picture of Ireland at the begin- ning of the nineteenth century will emphasize this truth, for here indeed was a country in sore need of just such a leader as Brother Edmund Ignatius Bice, Founder of the Congregation of the Christian Brothers of Ireland. Called by the great 0'Connell the Patriarch of the Monks of the Westf, Brother Rice was born in Westcourt, Kilkenny in 1762, and received his early education in the g'Hedge Schools. Ever a virtuous and pious Christian, and desiring to aid the young boys of his country by Christian edu- cation, Brother Rice organized a school of his own in 1802. Despite many obstacles and apparent failures, this Institute, like a tiny seed, has grown and spread over both hemispheres, receiving the highest praise and recognition not only from Cod and His Church through the Supreme Pontijf, but winning the plaudits of man for its valuable and outstanding work in education. Brother Rice was called to his reward in 1840, but his zeal and devotion still live in the Brothers whom we are proud to call our teachers.
