New York, Dec 1.-Two more Marathon races are being arranged for Madison Square garden.

low to the throne of God with prayers freighted with tenderest, deepest af- lection.
 The chief work allotted to him by God, which called forth his best en- deavors, and proved the real source of his greatness, as we'll as the req son of the bond of mental affection and esteem between him and his peo- pie, is to be traced to his share in the priesthood which the incarnate Son assumed for the redemption of the world, by the oblation of himself in the vestment of our manhood-the priesthood forever after the order of Melchisdeck, who was without be- ginning of days or end of life;;" and to his participation also in that one sacrifice which has redeemed the world, which is offered continually in heaven by the one only priest before the eternal altar; and on earth by the multitude of priests who are one with him as partakers of his priest hood, not as representatives only but in reality; as is also the sacrifice which is offered not mere represen- tation, but the true, real and sub- stantial body and blood of Christ of- fered by their hands.
 From this fecund source of spirit ual life flowed into his soul those graces which made his life model of the priestly kind and his ministry rich in every spiritual gift for the betterment of his people. In assuming the sublime dignity of the priesthood, bearing with it. as it does. tremen- dous responsibilities and demanding in the recipient, qualities for trans cending the natural powers of man to acquire, he looked not to his own feeble resources for success, but re- calling the words of the divine Mas ter, You have not chosen me, but I have chosen you and appointed you, that you should bring forth fruit, and your fruit should remain,' he placed his trust in God, and during the thirty-two years of his ministry, "He wrought that which was good and right and truth, desiring to seek his God with all his heart"
 It was not my purpose to enter into details concerning his early life, or his collegiate and seminary training, save to remark that from. the moment our divine Lords admonition "He that loyeth father and mother moro

Gifted with natural eloquence, which he could direct, at will. into the various chan nels of human feeling. his success as a public speaker was most pronounce ed. His method was plain and direct. without mannerisms, and with little artistic finish, which was due in great part to the fact that his dis courses were not written.

passage of time has not yet been able to efface, and his memory will long be held in benediction. But 1t is in this parish of the Immaculate Con- ception that the greatest scope was given to his talents, and his best work was done.
 Perceiving the rapidly increasing needs of parish rich in resources to meet every want, hc supplied addi- tior1al school accommodations, erect ed and equipped beautiful memorial building for young men and women, and placed on solid basis Irsery for children. But the last and crown ing work of his pastorate was the in ception. and almost completion, of a large and commodicus hospital build Ing, which in the first place, was made possible by his own muniticent offering of the entire savings of lifetime, and later by the infusion of the same charitable spirit into the hearts of his people. so that to-day it stands a monument to his unbounded charity and the peoples, liberality.. But it was not in these works that his, chief claim upon your affectionate re- gard and esteem rests, but in his la bors for your spiritual good and re- ligious advancement. Besides the example of an honest, upright, stain less life, which is also to your honor and credit in the community, there was hidden spiritual life, which, while 1t sanctifiss the priest, pleads constantly for the people before the eternal throne. < Of this interior life a word only. How few there are, who ever consider this side of the priests life; and yet 1t IS this feature com bining, as it does, the sublimest form of prayer. and intimate union with God which explains 50 much that is in- applicable to those who know little or nothing of Catholic prac- tice and belief. Tn this hidden life, in communion and in holy mass. Is the priest made strong in the prac- tice of virtue, which the world con- siders beyond the power of man to possess. And your deceased pastor, by daily practice, showed how much he appreciated; this God given help, and his life, as an open book. shows forth the result.
 Another debt of gratitude which you owe to your deceased pastor is because of the lustre which his life and work have shed upon this parish and city. Few priests in the diocese have been more richly endowed with the mental qualities which tend to make the work of a minister of God a success, To a mind bountifully stored with secular and ecclesiastical knowledge, was united a keen judg- ment of principles and men, which gave great weight to his opinion on passing events. He might have se- lected for his life's work the study and teaching of the most abstruse sciences, or have chosen the arduous role of politician and statesman, and have won success in either field. But he chose rasaer the vocation of

And, now. my dear brethren. let us remember that perfection is not the common lot of man here below, and who, save God knows how ini- perfectly the work allotted has been done. Let us then for the moment put aside all selfish feeling. and pray the Father of Mercies to have mercy on the soul of him departed, We are all tending towards the same common end. and to some the parting of the ways seems near, What we would therefore crave from our friends let us generously now and always do for the eternal repose of the soul of pas tor and friend. a.
