church he so dearly loved; going out
and in among us like a faithful shep-
herd among his flock, taking equal
care of all-the poor, the sick, the
troubled. For twelve years he was
our teacher and many a time has our
heart burned within us as he opened

on of the real beauty and worth of
human life. For "Christ's love and
His Apostles twelve he taught"
