Robert ]. Collier Dead
EDITOR AND PUB
Usher STRICKEN WHILE
DINING.

Robert ]. Collier, publisher of Col
liers Weekly, died suddenly on No
vember 8 in his New York home. He
had just returned from France, where
he had been engaged in Knights of
Columbus welfare work among the
soldiers, and was dining with his
wife.
He was describing the splendid
service the Knights are rendering to
"our boys" overseas, when he sud
denly fell from his chair to the floor.
He was carried to an adjoining room,
and his physician was summoned only
to find that the publisher was dead.
Mr.. Collier was forty-two years of
age, and was the son of Peter Fenelon
Collier, who, in the early '70s, was a
student at Mt. ST. Mary Seminary,
Cincinnati, and who, after leaving the
seminary established the publishing
business, which he built up into most
extensive enterprise. The elder Col
lier died suddenly in 1909.

I'VE commenced this war by bow

all things by His wisdom, Who governs
all things by His providence and Who
watches over nations as we'll as men.
We should be thankful today and
there should be jubilation in our
hearts, even while we sorrow for
those who have gone from among us.
And yet while we are thankful and
while we are rejoicing, we must accept
the decision in all humility and with
a deep realization of the responsible
ties that are come upon us. We must
enter upon the era that stretches be-
fore us with the same union of hearts
and minds with which we have
fought the war. We must give to our
lawful authorities the same undivided
loyalty and devotion and support
which we have given them throughout
the terrible conflict so courageously
carried on and so gloriously ended

RIGHT REVEREND BISHOP CAR.
ROLL OF HELENA, MONTANA,
PAYS TENDER ACKNOWLEDGE
MENT TO YOUNG PRIEST, VIC
TIM OF DUTY.

At the hour of the announcement
that an armistice had been signed be-
tween the United States and her al
lies and Germany, the Rev. Patrick
Brosnan, OF st. Marys Church, Butte,
Mont, passed away, martyr to his
devotion to mankind He was buried
on Wednesday at private services,
during which the eulogy was preached
by Bishop. Carroll, mastery COM
mendation of the man who had given
his life to his people. Father Bros
nan contracted the influenza while
administering to the wants of the
members of his parish and laid down
his life without complaint that the
fates We're against him.
To. this devotion, Bishop Carroll
paid tender tribute at the funeral.
Among other things the Bishop said:
'As, if America had not received her
share. of suffering in the great war
or to sober her in the hour of the
greatest triumph in her history, God S
Providence permits pestilence to
sweep over the land and take off
thousands of the strong young man.
hood and womanhood of the nation.
AS in Rama of old, "a voice is heard
of lamentation and great mourning"
1t is America, like Rachael "beWail-
ing her children and refusing to be
comforted because they are not" 1t
was too much to hope that where our
faithful people were dying in large
numbers, the shepherds of the flock
should all escape the hand of the
destroying angel. That only one was
struck We thank God But we thank
Him. still more that all the others
were as willing to lay down their
lives for our plague stricken people as
the hero whose memory we reverence
today.
In diocese like ours, where
priests are all too few, the death of
even one is a great loss. If it were a
priest full. Of years and merits that
God called to his reward, we might
be resigned to the sacrifice. But when
a young man ON the threshold of his
career falls victim to his zeal, We
are tempted to- murmur and ask the
reason, of his untimely taking -off.
The answer Of the book of wisdom
is our consolation. 'Consummatus in
brew eXplevit Temporal multa.' Being
made perfect in short space, he full
filled long time
'Of Father Brosnan it can be truly
said that during the short two years
and five months of his ministry he
was model Of priestly perfection
First of all he was conspicuous for
humility-the basis of all Christian
perfection. Shrinking and modest by
nature. he was seldom seen outside
the limits eff his own parish Even
there he had an intimate acquaint-
ance only with the poor and the lowly
These he made the objects of his spe-
cial affection. He visited them often
in their cabins, and in sickness and
sorrow they wanted no one but
Father Brosnan.' When they were
stricken down with the pestilence he
administered the last consultations of
religion and persisted in visiting them
every day until they committed their
souls into the hands of God. Broken

Spinning The Top

Chairman VIM. J. Mulligan, of the
K. of G. Committee on War Activities.
and Director VIM. P. Larkin, have
been bombarded with requests from
K. of c. workers abroad for additional
means of recreation for our men. The
response they make is that since the
boys have gone over the top until
they are now on top, the logical thing
for them to do is to spin tops in their
leisure time. The top spinning will
form part of the recreation program
the K. of G. is promulgating in con-
nection with their educational and re.
construction work in France. One
hundred thousand tops have been sent
to the front.

RARE TRIBUTE TO DEPARTED PRIEST

at last in body, he himself succumbed
to the dread malady. Like that of
the saints, his death was precious in
the sight of the Lord
Father Brosnan was a man of
prayer From the morning watch
even until night he hoped in the
Lord and lived in His presence. His
meditation book and it's frequent an
notations show that his constant
study was to advance in priestly per-
lection. His regular daily visit to the
Blessed Sacrament and his fervent
prayers in the church before and
after every sick call were both the
evidence of his love for the hidden
Lord to whom his soul was knit, and
the secret of the power he exercised
over the sinner and the outcast. His
pet devotion was the rosary-that
prayer of strength and beauty that
kept the faith alive and Furnishing
in his native Ireland when ban was
on the Mass and a price on every
priestly head. During all the time he
was at st. Mary's he never went to
bed at night without reciting the
beads in common with the other
members of the household. And if
the rosary has become the popular
evening prayer of the families of st.
Mary's parish, this is due in no small
measure to the encouragement and
example of Father Brosnan.
Finally, he loved his priesthood.
To him it was, indeed, the most
exalted dignity to which God could
raise creature-a dignity that
marks it's possessor with a divine
character and places him on the con-
fines of the visible and invisible
worlds, his office to render the
Divinity propitious to mortals and
to convey to men by his ministry
the blessings of their Creator-a
dignity, in a word, that lifts a poor
child of humanity above his fellows
and associates him with the priest
hood of Jesus Christ, in whose name
and by whose power he can offer
gifts and sacrifices for sins;' in
whose spirit of tender mercy he can
have compassion on them that are
ignorant and that err
: with such vision of theS priest
hood, is it any wonder that Father
Brosnan strove to fit himself to
perform it's every function worthily,
attentively and devoutly? Is it any
wonder that he made it the great
ambition of his life to perpetuate his
priesthood? To this end, in his own
familiar way he spoke again and
again to the boys who loved to serve
his Mass of the Story and the
heroism of the priestly life. To this
end, when dying, he left his mite to
assist in the education of poor stu
dents for the priesthood His life,
his words, his deeds have not been
wasted. They have not fallen upon
the wayside cor upon stony ground,
but upon. the good soil of the I'M
spoiled hearts of the boys of st.
Mary's. The seed has been sown
propitiously. If parents will see that
it be not choked with the cares and
the riches and the pleasures of this
life we may confidently expect
great harvest of priestly vocations.
Such consummation would fill the
void left in our hearts by the early
departure of Father Brosnan, and
make us realize that intensity of
priestly virtue counts for more than
length of years in building up the
kingdom of God. 'Consummatus in
brew explevit Temporal multa.' -"
