UNSURPASSED RELIABILITY

In no line Of business is the element
of unQuesuonable reliability of greater
Importance than that of insurance in
its various branches. 1t is sheer folly
TO pay for indemnity and to. at the
same time. assume any risk on account
of the want of the highest degree of
responsibility on the part of the COM
pany whose contract is accepted.
We take pleasure in calling the at
tention of the readers of the
Catholic TO the advertisement in
this issue Of Smedley & Wakeling.

companies: Commercial Union Assur-
ance company of London. London AS

ance company of Philadelphia and

CULLEN whom the church honors today

She was d devoted faithful wife,
tender and affectionate mother, and a
true Christian. When / first tmet her
in 1878 in Phoebe, these were the i'm
preSsions she made on me, and ever
since these impressions grew stronger
The love and affection of her heart
went out to her husband who died
quarter of a century ago, her dear lit
tie Willie" who died twelve years ago,
and her two surviving sons. They
were her real treasures, and the most
precious jewels she ever offered IN
evidence of her richness. Her simple
strong faith consisted in love and good
will for every person Her severest
criticism on the darkest event always
was: 1t might be worse and she
would say that in a way so peculiar TO
herself and indescrible, that her sweet
voice stopped all further criticism.
She had a charm for all who knew
her and when they visited her, they
always felt better when parting with
her Her sympathetic heart went out
to suffering humanity whom she al
ways helped in secret. This l know
from my own experience. The world
is better because she lived.
Her whole life was a preparation for
death. and when the summons came
she was calm and resigned, conscious
and recOllected to the end gazing with
a placid countenance on her 1.-TWO
boys" her last words were: May God
bless you She died the death of the
just. and that pure soul, we all hope
and pray, if not yet, will soon be
united with the souls of the just in
heaven.
I sympathize with you, cher boys" as
she always endearingly termed you, in
the loss of your mother, and such a
mother, as you rightfully think, that
could not be surpassed. May her last
blessing bring joyous union in
heaven where sorrow ceases and hap
piness is complete in loving God and
those that were nearest and dearest to
