self If the button flew off the foil,
as we may say that it did when his
antagonists time and again fell into
disgrace, he never thrust home
He had many gifts. He was
striking orator, a forceful writer, an
ardent student of the classics, which
he read with glowing appreciation.
Ten minutes after stirring up with
his eloquence a town and a whole
countryside, he was often found
asleep in the train with his head on
his valise for a pillow, speeding
homeward, but he often spent many
hours of the night porting over some
new edition of his favorite authors
He was par excellence a CONVERSE
tionalist. Drawing on his marvellous
memory, enriched with travel, wide
cquaintanceship, vast erudition and
varied interests, he made his con-
Versation always intensely instruc-
tive and entertaining. In social
functions he acquitted himself per-
fectly. Ordinarily genial and always
courteous, he could storm at times.
But his storms carried no blighting
hail, and the sunshine appeared aft
erwards brighter than before. No
one ever was more forgiving, and
forgiveness with him meant COM
plete oblivion

zeal for the public welfare of the

movements died out, dreamed-of har-

And so he is dead. A soldier of the

VERY REV. JAMES c. BYRNE, AD-
MINISTRAToR OF ST. PAUL DID,
cESE, WRITES KNOWINGLY
OF LATE PRELATE-REVIE OF
ARcHBISHoP lRELAND'S CA
REER.

What has been long dreaded has
come to pass.
Death has robbed the Archdiocese,
the country, the world of one of it's
greatest men. John Ireland, church
man, statesman, patriot, man pre-
eminent among men, has passed away.
Mortally stricken about a year ago,
but retaining all his mental powers
to the last, he has TRANQUILITY drifted
into the last haven of rest as a good
ship which has passed through
stormy seas folds it's sails and glides
into port The tireless spirit at last
rests. The gain is all his; the loss is
all ours; Who can tell what that loss
is? All words fail; all description
falters.
His was genius that attracted
while it dazzled, force, that without
breaking swept away all barriers, an
energy that never wearied, a person
atty so many-sided that he was ever
disclosing new realms of thought and
action which he had mastered. His
was lofty mind all aglow with feel
ing. If, like snow-capped Tacoma
above the plains he lowered above us,
like snow-capped Tacoma flushed
with the glow of the dawn he ap-
pealed to all our sentiments of adj
miration and love.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1918-10-05

he himself dedicated to those things
which are spiritual and immortal, and
as we believe, must receive the re-
ward of Immortality.
ST. Paul Guild of Catholic Women.
In the death of our beloved Arch
bishop the Guild of Catholic Women
feels a keen loss. He guided the
hands of our founders and they built
wisely and we'll. He counselled with
us in the furthering of all new prof.
ects, and we found that counsel good.
He was the friend we counted on when
we met rough places in our path, and
that friendship never failed us. Sweet
memories are ours of his. long service
to U.S. Those memories we shall
cherish long, and they will long guide
us and help us.

The Churchman.

AS a churchman he was endowed
with a clear vision to see the right
course to pursue and with the in
domitable will to enter upon it at
once. Hence to the less endowed he
appeared visionary and blamewOrthy,
but time indicated his forecast and
justified his judgment. He was right
in promoting social reform, in push
ing colonization, in keeping the doors
of the Church open to the organized
workingman, in advocat ting the fusion
of nationalities, larger cultivation
of the country's language, and the alb
solute severance of natiOnalitieS
from all foreign political influence, as
all today admit But when most of
these topics were the burning ques-
tons of the hour they brought him
daily into the arena of combat. They,
however, never distracted him from
his peculiar charge, his beloved do
cese of st. Paul Practically all its
institutions owe their inception and
growth to his initiative and fostering
care. Year after year he was ever
picking up the slack ends of the work
and pushing and pulling to keep all
things abreast. He had long hand
and the frontiers of his diocese felt
his authority often more than the
center 1t was not, however, the do
cese of ST. Paul that made him ia
nous, but he carried the name of ST.
Paul around the world. Travellers
again and again have asserted that
| the name of st. Paul at once prompted
a question concerning its great Arch
bishop.

i Had Archbishop Ireland been born

Ireland. He was great patriot as
well as a great churchman. He was
an old and valued friend, and more
over, when with him | felt l was in
the company of great ecclesiastic
statesman of the old type in point of
ability, and yet abreast of modern
American thought. His death is a
great loss, and coming right on the
heels of the death of that other great
churchman and patriot, Cardinal Far
ley, it leaves a very real blank in
American life.

The following appreciation Of the
late Archbishop was written by Mr.
The Catholic bulletin. [volume] (St. Paul, Minn.) 1911-1995, 1918-10-05

That he was ambitious is granted,
but his was laudable ambition. He
spared no effort to rise to the full
height of every occasion. A great
occasion was made still greater by a
discourse from him. He sought office
not for its privileges and trappings,
for which he cared nothing, but to put
his light on the canGlestick where it
might illumine all who are in the
house. How impersonally he regarded
his triumphs may be gagged from the
fact that he never spoke of them.
Among hundreds of instances that
one may be recalled when in great
assemblage of Cardinals and Bishops
he was suddenly asked for by Pope
Leo to voice his message to America.
Archbishop Ireland had had. his final
audience with the Pope the night
previous. 1t was by mere chance that
he had been induced to go to the
Vatican He was sought for and made
acquainted with the Pope's wish. Al
once, speaking in French, he gave q
twenty minute perfervid discourse, al
the close of which the Pope said:
You have we'll interpreted my senti

rated the incident, remarked in his
