In his remarks he said II was not GUS
tomary to deliver eulogies for the dead
in the Catholic Church unless there
was something in the life of the de-

of those exceptions he said, because
Mrs. McManus was a good, charitable
woman, d good Christian woman, a good
mother, and one whom st. Bridget's
Church and parish would miss very
much.
"She was q shining light to all who
knew her. continued the priest, and
her life was one that could be followed
by many who desire to help those
who need assistance.
ITO her children I may say that they
were exceedingly fortunate In having
such q noble woman for a mother.
"God gave her opportunities to enable
her to assist others and she never failed
in her duty. Her life was a splendid
! example of goodness and charity.
Even on her sick bed" he continued,
cher thoughts were for those who might
need assistance. She did not fear
death, as God gave that grace which
He has promised TO those who help
the poor, His own people, and her death
was a happy one.
yet after all, Mrs, McManus was
only human and there nay have been
some sin in her life that she did not do
penance for. 1t is the duty of the mem
bers OF the family, the relatives n
friends to pray for her. h will GER
tainly be remembered by those whom
she assisted, as they will not forget
her kindness.
"Pray for her, that she may enjoy the
eternal reward that God has promised
TO those who keep His commandments"
