Died Repeating Sanctus.
Through all the trials or yesterday
Shere was among those who witnessed
the death OF Bishop satteFlee one theme
OF ConversauOn-the manner IN which
the distinguished patient met his end
His death, Ike his life, was a bene-
E diotiOn to those about him. He died
repeating the "sanotus," and with the
words Holy, Holy, Holy" upon his
lips. Just prior to the moment OF dis
solution Bishop sattsrlee lapsed into
Inconsistencies, a smile playing upon
his face
Before this he had asked for the
Sacrament OF the Holy Communion. and
when this was finished he called each
snember OF the family, the attending
physicians. the nurses, and the several
diocesan ministers present TO his bed
side and bestowed upon them his bless
ing. His last few hours were spent In
giving spiritual advice to the fearful
onea about him. Al 7.9O o'clock, after
their night Of prayerful vigil ne peace
fully passed away, and one Of the most
Ssminent divines Of the nation had
answered the final summons.
To Rest at St. AIban's.
II is eminently fitting that the body
OF Bishop Satterlee should rest at St
Adams, IN the shadow Of the mag
uincent cathedral whose spires Will soon
point ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS TO the man
who laborsd 30 long and earnestly for
2heir building.
Two years ago. when the cathedral
project had begun to assume definite
shape. and Bishop Satterlee saw in the
tnear future the contamination OF his
4 dream OF the great edifce he had
planned soon after coming to Washing
ron, the prelate expressed the wish that
he might be inferred at St. Adams
when his labors were ended. 1t is in
respect to this wish, in thorough keep
ing with the desires Of the thousands
OF worshipers who win in the next few
years gather IN the cathedraTs walls,
that the body OF the first bishop OF
washington viii find resting place at
this hallowed spot
Here it will be convenient for the pill
grirnRges Of those who have known and
appreciated Bishop Satterlee in life, as
we'll as coming generations who viii
learn OF his great work through the in
fiuence in years to come of his precept
and example, his visible achievements,
and the imprint he has left upon the
cause OF his church and Christianity.
But the conception and the execution
OF the immense undertaking involved
IN the erection of the cathedral Of SIS.
f Peter and Paul is rot the only notable
achievement OF Bishop Satterlee. It
merely rounded out what had already
been an illustrious career.
His First Achievement.
Bishop Satterlee's first achievement in
the work ne had chosen came soon
after his seminary degree. when. IN 1860.
he was appointed TO the assistant rec
torship of Zion Church at Wappingers
Falls n. Y. Here he labored until
1874, when he became rector, and from
that time until 1852, whea he moved
