 Rev. Father Mandin, during the funeral service, yesterday, paid the following deserved tribute to the character of Mrs. Morrison:
 "The priest of God, it would seem, should never feel better disposed to exbort his people to virtue than when in the presence of death; his utteranees then have a more solemn warning, which may eventually reach hearts at other times closed to re- ligious adviees. Upon the present occasion we have assembled to take our last farewell of the remains of a prominent Christian woman and commit to the grave all that is nor tai of her.
 ''It was my fortunate lot to have known this dear and venerated friend during the last five years of her life, and, though it is a rare oe- currence in our church to give en- eoniums to the departed ones, I will nevertheless pay homage to a beautiful trait of her character, namely, the unswerving loyalty which so eonspieuously shone among the many other qualities of her soul.
 "She was loyal to her family, al- ways forgetting herself to think of those who had a claim on her love and devotion, thereby diseharging her duties as the ideal wife and mother. She was loyal to her friends, helping them in their trials, making their cause her own cause, and standing by them to the end, as only royal friends do. The nobil- ity of her character in this respect was such. that in the midst of her dreadful sufferings, her thoughts would constantly go to her proteges and their needs, while she seemed to have no pity on herself; her last words, I believe, were request in favor of one of them.
 "She was loyal to God; there was indeed nothing extravagant in her piety, nothing ftful, nothing pre- tentiOus, she ever was one and the same in this regard; never letting anything eneroaeh upon the time due to sacred duties. Many embellish- ments in this church were made possible through her generosity and today they stand as eloquent wit nesses of her faithful life.
 "Aetuated by the desire to con- tribute to the beautifying of the dlVlne seFVlces, she took her place in the choir and was present at her post every feast of the year, until kept away by sickness. Her place there has not yet been filed, nor her regularity surpassed.
 "LOyalty to principles wins ad- commands respect and gains heaven; has not our Lord said: 'He who will persevere to the end, shall be saved Therefore let us hope that she, who was so true, has gone to her reward, leaving us an encouragement and a challenge to initiate her eOnstaney of devo- ton to her friends, to her family and to her God"
