The funeral services were held
Wednesday morning at 10 O'Clock at
St. Johns Catholic Church, before one
or the largest gatherings OF relatives
and friends ever assembled in this
large edifiee Cardinal Gibbons, go
intimate friend Of the Shriver family,
opened the services with an interest
ing address on the life OF the deceaS-
ed
The Cardinal said In part
In the death of T. Herbert Shriver
IT have lost cherished friend Of 50
years duration About the time OF my
conservation as bishop nearly half a
century ago, began my visits to his
edifying Christian family at Union
Mills. Herbert and | formed a strong
rupted till hi death In the ardOr OF
his youth he conceived a desire to
study for the ministry and to labor
with me i'm North Carolina, which was
then the most unprOmising mission I'm
the United States. But in the course
of his studies his health failed and IT,
was Obliged to give up the cherished
wishes of his heart.
But if the church lost jealous
apostle the State gained 80 upright
citizen, and commerce leading and
honorable representative. He served in
both houses OF the Legislature with
intelligence, diligence and with honor
to the State. The same noble ideals
which ruled his private life and bust
ness operations guided him honOrably
within the political arena. Several
years ago the firm, under the title Of
B. F. Shriver Company, was establish
ed in this county and has grown apace
and developed until it has become one
of the most successful firms of this
kind I'm the State. The business OF the
Shriver brothers was conducted on the
high principles of justice and CONNER
cial integrity
But perhaps you will say to me, IL
1 pursue a life of Christian righteous
ness like the Shriver family if take
no undue advantage OF my neighbor,
will be handicapped by the very yir-
tues which 4 practice, because must
carry them with me in my public d.
well as in my private life I emphati-
caIly deny that the pursuit of
righteousness IL "a bar to temporal
prosperity. Without searching for ex-
amples elsewhere, ! appeal to the es-
tablishment Of the Shriver brothers
and those associated with them. They
have amassed a considerable fortune,
but what IL more, they enjoy TIE g.
TEEN Of their fellOW-citizens They
have the testimony OF a good con-
science and they will have the ap-
proving smile Of their Heavenly Faith
