Death of Father Michel.
Written for THE HERALD.

| w HkRAID.
A telegram received last evening
by the Rev. Father Superior ofthe
Oblate Fathers conveyed the sad
news OF the death of Rev. Father
q. Michel, vino yesterday morning
succnmbed to lingering and most
painful malady, IN the Santa Rosa
hospital at San Antonio.
During the many years Of MS
ministry in Brownsville, this holy
servant of God rendered himself
SO we'll and universally loved that
any praise or enumeration of his
virtues and labors cannot but be
an echo of the eulOgieS which all
hearts are already prOnouneing, on
recalling the abnegatiOn, zeal, ten
der-heartedneSs, and all the other
heroic and gentle traits that charac-
terized his sanity soul
Father Michel was born in Metz,
in 1916, OF French parentage His
ecclesiastical aud classical studies
were pursued in Autu1, France.
In '78 he came to Texas and be.
came chaplain of the Incarnate
Word academy OF this city. In '92
he was sent to Canada, in which
country he passed five years, re-
turning at the conclusion of that
period to Brownsville, where he
remained until last year, when he
was sent to Eagle Pass. For many
years Father Michel was great
sufferer, more than once arriving
at the point of death, and with
courage did he combat his cruel
ailment. From that is he now mer-
cifnlIy delivered, and. like "eVery-
one that hath left hOnse, or
brethren, or sisters, or father or
mother for His names sake, is he
receiving a huudredfOld and life
everlasting"

But Paul saw another barrier to his advo-
cacy of the ceremonial law. The infinite va
riety of mans nature made the law with It's
specific rules too limited for the demands OF
that nature No ancient law-giver could fore
stall and provide special regulations for all
the intricate needs and conditions of society
arising from this varied nature But this is
just what the jew claimed for Moses. Taking
it for granted that all his religious life was
inclued in these specific rules, the Jew thought
he must not be religious more than or other
than the law described. Referring to the
priest and the Levite passing by the wounded
man Of the parable, VIM. NJ. Taylor says:
HAD they found in the law command to
this effect If thou shalt see man half dead
lying upon the highway-side thou shalt not
pass him by unheeded, but shalt surely help
him. l think that they would have exerted
themselves for his deliverence; but because
the precept ran thou shalt love thy neighbor
as thyself' and did not define who their neigh

One Of the southern bishops enjoys tell
ing the folio wing story on his own daugh-
ter: Strongly imbued with her fathers
doctrine, she hSd grown up strict Epis-
copalian and had never attended a re-
vival or camp meeting in her life, al
though. as her younger brother remarked,
''The woods were full Of them"
When she was about 1G. she went to
visit an old friend Of her mother in New
York. and her hostess, after much persua-
sion. prevailed on her to go to hear Tom
Harrison. the famous hoy evangelist.
''But, Mrs Burnett" she had finally
objected. Suppose he should speak to me.
I'd he so frightened ! shouldn't know
what to say"
'Why. Virginia." her hostess had re-
piled. 1.-THE church will be so crowded that
nothing is more unlikely than he should
single out either one Of us"
But the girls fears were realized.
As the great preacher left the pulpit
and passed down the aisle. eXhOrting first
this one then that one. he paused at the
pew where the bishops daughter was
seated
'AIy dear child" he said earnestly. "are
you Christian?"
''N-uo. sir" she replied, 'T'm an Epis
copalian."
With twinkle in his eye the evangelis
passed on without another word.-De
