The Funeral Sermon
IN speaking of Judge Howard,
Rev. Carroll said. in part:
Judge Howard was as manifold
as his profession, the law. But he
was more than a lawyer He saw
beyond the horizon Of the courtroom,
his culture was broader than his
law library. he could think and
speak in terms more general than.
legal technicalities.
Tn law ne was more given TO In
vestigation than TO pleading. 10 set
ting down judicious precedents than
TO evoking applause before juries, to
making wise far-reaching- decisions,
than to shining in the questionable
splendOr of a national case.
He had the quick fancy Of a poet.
he moved quietly among woods
growing yellow in the autumn, and
thought Of them as he went. The
quiet fields with the bees hummins.
the Ginning OF bells, the laughter OF
children. touched him strangely.
He was a teacher The Univer-
sity OF Notre Dame selected him as a
priced professor. She treasured his
finished scholarship. his mellow cul-
ture. his rare gift Of anedOte. He
was singularly well versed in the ira
ditions OF the school. He could speak
OF the great Sorin and his cO-wOrk-
ers as though they were but of yes
terday. and. when he spoke. he
spoke with discernment
An OPtOmist and Idealist.
Just as he looked lovingly 10 the
Notre Dame OF long ago for the
memories IL held for him, ne guard
ed jealousy the Notre Dame OF this
day and the Notre Dame Of tomor-
row He was optomist. idealist: he
had no room in all his great nature
for the bitter or the small. All these
qualities OF the man-tudgment. dis
cernment. poetic feeling, vision. Gull
ture. lOyalty-set him apart for all
men 10 love and admire.
To the people Of this parish he
will be remembered more intimately

this church he came in his youth
and in his age. sunday after sun
day. to mass and 10 Holy Commun-
ion. And it is fitting that ne should
he brought here today when his tired
limbs can bear him no longer. For
in all the high positions he has held
before the city. in the state. or the
nation. he never forgot the faith of
his youth nor the people among
whom ne lived"
