His writings, especially his book “Faith of Our Fathers,” have done wonders in removing prejudice and in leading thousands into the holy church, He has at all times taken a deep interest in the wel- fare of the country, and his \wise counsels have helped immensely in developing a healthy public con- science. His humility and kind- ness have won the hearts of the nation, (His loss is therefore not only by the Catholics of Ameri ca but by the whole nation, and all over the world are hundreds of thousands who now pray that God may reward him for all the spiritual benefits, they have receiv- ed through his writings and his truly sacredotal example. It is fitting close to a life like his, that he was called to his re- ward on Holy Thursday, the daf when Christ instituted His sacra-* ment of love and entered into His .. agony. ‘Let us pray that he may" celebrate Easterday in the glory of heaven. / Assuring you, Right Rev. dear Bishop and the whole Archdiocese of Baltimore of my deepest sym- pathy in this hour of sorrow, I am.
