the Irish," as in the universal, Church, had been observed the Festival of St. Julius, who was Pope, a. d. 337. when his career as Roman Pontiff com- menced, to A. D. 35 », when it closed. During the time he presided over the Church, he eftected great things for the glory of God, and for the interests of religion. His Acts are contained,* in the BoUandists' work,' at the lath of April. HisfatheriscalledRusticus,orRusticius,*andhisdistinguishedson was a Roman, by birth. He w;is born, probably, towards the close of the third century.

DuringthetermofhisPontiticate,the dangerous Arian heresy prevailed in the East. . A great number of orthodox and holy bishops there had been suffering persecution for justice' sake ; and even they had been violently expelled from their Sees, in many instances. ' Among others, the illustrious St. Athanasius,* who had been chosen for the bishopric of Alexandria, in 326, opposed with great real and eloquence tl>e heresiac Arius, and his confederates. ' The Emperor ol Constantius favoured Arius, and his friend Eusebius, Bishop of Niomedia ; and, in a cabalistic Council, held at Tyre, in August, 335, a sentence of deposition was pro- nounced against the holy Patriarch. * He was banished to Triers, then the chief city of Belgic Gaul. * Every possible effort was made by the . Brians, to misinform the Sovereign Pontiff, regarding their proceedings and designs. They even sent deputies to procure the condemnation of St. Alhansius, . by the Pope, who assembled a Council at Rome, in 340,'° in order to hear the whole case. But, the Arians refused to assist there, and they convened a pretended Council at Antioch, during the year 341, when they appointed the intended bishop of Alexandri. i, a Capp,idocian named Gregory, to fill the
the place of St. Athanasius. " However, after a i>atient investigation, Pope Julius confirmed the latter in his See, and wrote a very |X)werful letter to the Oriental Eusebian bishops, in confirmation of this decision. '* Yet, finding theip still obstinate, he moved Coivstans, Emperor of the West, to ask the concurrence of his brother Constantius, ruling in the East, to assemble a General Council at Sardica, in Illyricura.
