Bishop Curtis Sermon.
The funeral sermon was preached by
Bishop Curtis of Delaware. He spoke Of
the impossbility Of knowing the history
of men which they themselves only really
know when they have entered the spiritual
world. The last lesson to be drawn in the
presence Of the dead was a lesson Of ad-
moniton to the living to live their lives
well until they, too, were summoned to
leave this world. Death itself should be
thought OF as something bright rather than
something to be feared.
The last rites over. the dead were con-
Quoted by Cardinal Gibbons, who also spoke
briefly of the deceased. He had known
ordination. and he referred to the great
work of his life here and elsewhere, espe-
cially at Westminster. Nd, where he had
spent many of his earlier years.
