JOHN CARDINAL:
The Board OF Managers OF The Roman
Catholic orphan Asylum In the City
Of New York. at a special meeting held
for that purpose on the 18th day OF
September. 1918,
RESOLVED; That tho death OF our be.
loved Cardinal. though a great per.
sonal bereavement to zach member Of
this Board. has . greater and wider
significance. It 10 an irreparabie loss
not alone to charity. religion and the
country. but to Christianity itself. His
life Was devoted not only to the
ameiiorstion Of the conditions OF the
siok and the poor and friendless. but
to the maintenance OF the highest
Ideals of patr4otism and religion.
Though his heart went out to the poor
and unfortunate, his sense OF right
and Justice made him an inflexible
eonservator Of personal and property
rishta He was strongly imbued with
true sentiments Of love of country. which
II was his constant effort to have in
eulcated in all the schools under his
Jurisdiction.
He was not only q great prelats, but q
virtue which should adorn n good
priest and q virtuous citizen. Con-
spicuous for his courage. nrmness and
Justice, he was no less marked for
gentleness, meekness and mercy.
With . mind stored with knowledge,
with a heart full OF generous emotions,
with q strong will able to surmount
difficulties. all these were devoted In
the highest and best services that Q
man could render to his feiiow-men.
We who have been Intimately associated
In one OF the many charities dear to
his heart-the care of orphans-feel
most deeply the loss Of his wise coun-
sci and guidance. and sympathise with
tho orphans who are deprived OF his
fatherly protection. A. President of
this Board for more than fifteen years
he assiduously iabored for the COM
fort and happiness OF those committed
to its caro-. No sacrifice was too great.
no labor too onerous. when It was q
question OF providing for these little
ones.
Mindful A. We are OF his great and i'm
portant work for the County. State
and City. and Of his valuable services
to religion and charity. we deem Il
especially appropriate that there
should be entered upon our records a
minute expressive OF his invaiuab BILE
services to the homeless orphans, and
Of their and our sentiments OF esteem
and affection. and of our sense OF the
irreparable loss sustained by his death.
As q testimonial of our loving respect, IL
is ordered that this minute be spread
upon our records. that our asylums be
draped In mourning for the space OF
thirty days. and that the mambers OF
this Board attend his funeral In q
body.

The Trustees OF St. Patrick's Cathedral
in the City OF New York. In meeting
assembled on the twentieth day Of
September. Nineteen hundred and
eighteen, do make 'his minute:
They record their indispensable sorrow at
the loss OF their President, Cardinal
Archbishop and friend.
His achievements In the material and
spiritual spheres Of his activities arc
TOO many to be noted here and too
we'll known TO require recital.
His piety, wisdom, executive power,
gentleness, irmness. human sympathy
and ioYe OF country were distinguished
among his many commanding qualities.
His virtues are lost to his flock and to
his country as a living force. but they
will survive In memory as an inspira-
ton to higher things. And they pray
that as he looks down upon this world
with his holy eyes he will see that his
people are responding to his devout
wishes and his highest aspirations for
them.
