For this the Archbishop made
suspension permanent until Car
dinal Simeoni or the Pope should
act. DR.. McGlynn refused to acced'
to further orders to repair to Rome
for the reasons he had previously
given. In July, 1887, he was ex
communicated, the assigned reason
being his contunacy, but the rea
reason being his refusal to be still
and to retract doctrines repugnanl
to he Archbishop of New York
and others. But never was an ex.
communicated man so upheld, the
great body of st. Stephens parish
toner's standing by him with I'M
paralleled love and loyalty.
TRIBUTE BY ELDER GEORGE.
Upon the event of the excommu-
citation my father wrote:
"There stands hard by the palace
of the holy inquisition in Rome a
statue which has been placed there
since Rome became the capital of a
united Italy. On it is the inscrip-
ton

was imprisoned in the neighboring palace
for having
that the earth revoives around the sun
"In after years, when the true
hearted American priest shall have
rested from his labors, and what is
now being done is history, there
will arise by the spot where he shall
be excommunicated such q statue
and such an inscription. And days
will come when happy little child
rem, such as now die like flies in
houses, shall be held up
by their mothers to lay garlands
upon it.
In 1892 the Pope sent Archbi-
shop Satolli to the United States as
$vess'sSEions h7 sf'ssEio into tEe case 81 Dr.
McGlynn and other matters, with
the result of the removal of the
bann and the restoration to DR..
of all his priestly func-
tons, a special body of learned
scclesiastics to whom the subject
was referred declaring that there
was nothing in the Doctors utter
ances on the single tax doctrine
heretical to the teachings Of the
Church.
Archbishop Corrigan was told
that he should make peace with
DR.. McGlynn, which he did, not,
however, by restoring him to his
old st. Stephens parish or to any
other in the metropolis, but by
him to new parish in q
little town up the Hudson, where,
nevertheless, he won all hearts,
as we'll as Catholic.
CORRIGAN AT THE BIER.
Since reports first came a few
weeks ago of DR.. McGlynn's serious
illness, the Archbishop intended to
visit and ask forgiveness of the
man he had SO deeply wronged, but
death intervened. and when the
prelate arrived at the Newbury
rectory it was to kneel beside the
dead body of the exiled priest.
With a heart and head and burn
ing eloquence that would have
made him an ornament to the
greatest Office in the Church,
Edward McGlynn died, as for
nearly forty years he had lived, an
humbled priest. True to the vow
of abstinence from things Of the
flesh, he had worked with con-
suming passion for the weak and
the downtrodden, declaring that in
voluntary poverty is the fruit OF
mems breaking of Gods laws,
which provide abundance for all.
The core of his gospel was the
Fatherhood Of God and the Brother
hood of Man; the single tax, which
he continued publicly to preach
until taken to his death bed, but
another name for heavens ordin.
ance, for natural justice. His spirit
was the kind that would break
down barriers of creed and dogma
and make all men believe in ont
universal faith. With a strong
masterful nature, his dying words
were those of humility: "Jesus
have mercy on me.
To men like me, the life oi
Edward McGlynn, priest of th'
people, has made life brighter, ant
his death makes death easier.
