Memorial to Archbishop QuigIey.
The late Archbishop Quigley was
High Spiritual Director of the c. o. F..
At the July meeting of the High Court
in Chicago the following memorial was
adopted and made part of the records
of the High Court:
Most Reverend James Edward Quig-
ley, D. D., Archbishop of Chicago and
High Spiritual Director of the Catholic
Order Of Foresters, having been called
to his eternal reward, the High Court
of the order desires to place upon rec
ord its appreciation of his life work
and of its great regret at his depart
,ure from the scenes of his earthly
labors.
Besides his great work in behalf of
humanity in the care of the poor and
afflicted and of the orphan children of
his great archdiocese, Archbishop
Quigley was an earnest and sincere
friend Of all organizations Of Catholic
men and was particularly interested in
our fraternal insurance societies. In
one of these, before coming to Chi
cago, he held active membership and
on his advent to Chicago, as Archbish-
op, he willingly and Rracin,,allszss-
scented to act as High Spiritual Direc-
tor of our order and was ever its
staunch friend and adviser. In his
death our society has lost constant
and true friend and the cause Of Cath
olic fraternal organizations an ardent
and interested advocate.
In his episcopal career he demon
strated the highest ability as an ad-
ministrator of the vast interests of
the second largest archdiocese in the
United States. The cause of educa-
ton and the promotion Of church ex-
tension throughout the land were ever
dear to him and his all too early de-
mise has left uncompleted the plans
he had conceived for their greatest
glory and success.
RESOLVED: BY the High Court
>of the Catholic Order Of Foresters
that we bow in grief at the death of
Archbishop Quigley and extend to his
family and relatives our sincerest con-
dolences.
RESOLVED: That the membership
of our order, of which he was always
such q firm friend, be called upon to
remember him in their prayers, to the
end that he may speedily enjoy the
vision of the Eternal God, for whose
glory he labored SO zealously while
upon earth.
RESOLVED: Further that this me
mortal be placed upon the official rec
ords of the High Court and a cop,
thereof published in our official jour
nal.

good explanation why he spoke Eni
lish with "brogue." English wa
mot his language, he said. His pativ
tongue was Irish, and when he spok
Irish he had NO ''brogue."
