And fresh from early showers,

Archbishop Ireland is. dead.
This was the announcement which
pulsated from st. Paul to all parts
of the continent and along the
ocean bed to distant lands on the
morning Of Wednesday, Septem-
Der 25, 1918. For a week the an
noumcement had been momentar-
lily expected. For days anxious
watchers at the bedside Of the dy-
ing prelate had noted the gradual
ebbing Of his strength and real
lied that the end was not far off.
The ravages of an illness extend
ing over the greater part of year
had gradually undermined the
robust constitution which had sus-
tanned the physical exactions of
eighty years of intense activity !;
and as the summer drew to a close
it became apparent to the attend
ing physicians that the resources
of medical science were made
5quate to prolong the precious life
beyond a few weeks.
The patient, too, had come to.
realize that his sickness was unto
.death,>and gradually gave up the
fight for<life. He surrendered
himself Internationally into the
hands of his Creator and in per-
feet submission to the divine will
awaited the end. IT is the will
of God, he said and Commended
to the care of,the Most High his
beloved diocese and its inStittr=.
tions, the clergy, religious and
people, as well as the projects,
completed or otherwise, which he
had undertaken for the honor and
glory of God,
Last Conscious Moments.
When, finally, it was apparent
that his span of life was limited to
a few hours at most, the faithful
watchers by his bedside redo1lb-.
led their prayers for a happy.
death and a favorable judgment.
The physicians and attendants
marvelled at the vitality which he
displayed up to the last moment.
He seemed conscious of what was
going on about him and from time
to time rallied sufficiently to re-.
cognize by a feeble attempt at a
smile-for he could no longer
speak his intimate friend, Bishop
OGorman5 his sister. his secretary
and a few of the priests. A priyi-
legged group knelt in prayer
through the long watches ofsthe
last night, and as the subdued re-
petition of the Rosary, the Arch
favorite devotion, touch
ed the mystic chord Of memory his
feeble hand was seen to move
slowly. across the eoyerlet to clasp.
