He spoke at some length on the gospel |
in relation to death. He said that Mr.. |
Doyle was an exceptionally good hus-

held in high esteem by all with whom |
he came in contact. He was admired |
for the conscientious manner in which |
he performed his public duties, the cler- |

cere and capable public servant for the |
past eighteen years. He added that the |
deceased was always a good church |
member, ever ready to lend a helping |
hand to the unfortunate. His charita-
BILE deeds were known only to those
whom he had assisted, and perhaps the
full extent of his good works would |
never be known. One thing at least |
was very manifest, he added, and that |
was Mr.. Doyle had performed his duty
well to his Maker and to his fellow be-
ings, and it was appreciated. Father
