A Martyr to Courage.

IN THE HASTE which challenges
time in overhauling newspaper .ex-
changes, this paper failed to record
the untimely death of a priest hero in
California about two weeks ago. Rev.
Alfred Toomey was, up to the time of
his tragical taking off, rector of the
Church of the Immaculate Conception.
Smartsville, Yuba county, California.
in the diocese of Sacramento. The man
ner of his death exhibits a courage
found only in the martyrs for the faith.
ever ready to sacrifice life in order to
make one soul at peace with its God.
The story runs that Father Toomey.
being appraised of a Pensioners need
for the consultations of religion before
death, made all haste to reach the sick
man in time. In order to do so. it
became necessary to ford swollen
stream on the journey thither; either
that or drive a much longer distance
to bridge. He chose the shorter but
more perilous route, because a soul
was in the issue. The buggy upset in.
the stream, and the swift waters car
ried the heroic pastor to his death.
Gods will be done! That night the
sick man died with no priest near to
shrive him. But the act of desire, the
act of contrition sufficed, and the souls
of penitent and priest stood before the
throne of mercy purged of sin and pre-
