To those who were near and dear 10
him, his kith and kin, what shall say?
| Only He that tempereth the wind to the
shorn lamb can assuage their agony,
diminish their affliction. When Times
| finger closes the wound, now raw and
/ gaping, they will recall with pride their
/ kinship with the Vincent Of Paul Of
| New England. And you, people of St.
| Anne's, shall you forget all too readily,
| your dead pastor? Q, by the sacredness
/ of those % years of struggle and sacrl-
4 flee, / conjure you to give him lasting
/ place in your memories. He has gone
| before the great white throne, and has
| been judged by a God in whose eyes
| the columns of heaven are hardly pure.
! Pray for him, then, and turn not a deaf
| ear to his wall: Have pity on me, have
| pity on me, you at least my friends, for
/ the hand Of God is heavy on me-"
| Bear him forth, then, brethren, and
! lay him gently among those he loved
and for whom he toiled and suffered
| Bear him forth and lay the shepherd
!
| loan of yonder city of the dead has
never shrouded 4 nobler heart than that
| of Father Scannell, to whom may God,
/ in His infinite mercy, grant eternal rest.
