A FRIEND TO THE POOR
HIS character was plain, kind and
gentle, and the poor of his parish ire
spectiNe OF race or creed. found him
sincere 1rlend. his charity was always
cioaked ana his many deeds of assist
ance were not made public. The resi-
dents or Dunmore of all creeds had the
greatest respect for him and he exer-
cised an influence that only his noble
ness of character could command.
He was not disposed to mingle much
nrincinalIv in his Iihrorw uis @ ,a.rnL s,e
ing was comprehensive, and he was re-
2arded as a classical scholar of the
first rank among the priests of this
diocese. Attention to his church and
his people was his leading characteris-
tic, and how well he attained his pur-
pose in this respect is eXemplified in
the unfeigned sorrow that is felt at his
death.
Rt. Rev. Bishop O'Hara held him
most dear as an obedient, willing and
energetic toiler in the Masters vine-
yard. and he chose the deceased as one
OF the diocesan consultors. The pas
torate of the deceased represents a
church Dllilt at n of $50 M
