Archbishop Ireland was my close
| friend for forty years. He was a
strong advocate of temperance by
| voluntary act. He was true patriot,
and contributed probably more than
any other man to demonstrate the
harmony between the constitution of
the Church and the Constitution of the
United States. The Archbishop was
one of the most eloquent orators and
in addition great intellectual leader.
He was man of fascination and
magnetism which, has been rarely
.equalled In his death the Church has
lost a worthy prelate and the nation
a worthy patriot
/ regret exceedingly that my adj
vanced years and the length of the
journey will debar me from being
present at the funeral of my very dear
friend, Archbishop Ireland.

Archbishop Bonzano, Apostolic Dele
gate.
With profound grief I send my ex-
pressions of sincere coincidence to the
clergy and faithful of the Archdiocese
of st. Paul over their irreparable loss
in the death of their great leader,
Archbishop Ireland. The monuments
of his untiring activity and zeal will
assure for him a glorious place in the
history of the Church by the side of
the greatest and most illustrious
prelates of this country.
Archbishop Hanna, San Francisco.
Great as was my personal love for
Archbishop Ireland greater was my
admiration for his extraordinary gifts.
He loved his country as few have loved
it, and he showed his love by years
of devoted service. He loved Christ
with love that knew no bounds, and
to Him he consecrated his superb
talents of mind and heart. AS no one
equalled him in grasp of mind so, too,
no one ever showed his courage in adj
vancing Christs cause, and in making
it loved and respected by the Ameri-
can people May his name be in bene-
diction and his memory ever green.
