Catholic Orphan Asylum in the City
Of New Yort. At q special meeting held
for that purpose on the 18th day Of
September. 1918,
RESOLVED: That the death Of our be.
loved Cardinal. though n great per.
sonal Bereavement to each member Of
this Board. has q greater and wider
sssnineancs. 1t IL an irreparabie loss
not alone to charity. religion and the
country. but to Christianity Itself. His
life was devoted not only to the
amelioration OF the conditions of the
siok. and the poor and friendless, but
to the maintenance OF the highest
ideals Of patriotism and religion.
Though bis heart went out to the poor
and unfortunate, his sense OF right
and Justice made him an inflexible
conservator of personal and property
rights. He was strongly imbued with
truesentiments OF love of country. which
81 was his constant effort TO have in
culcated In all the schools under his
Jurisdiction.
He was not only q great preiate hut n
true American and a model OF every
virtue which should adorn a good
priest and q virtuous citizen. Con,
spicuous for his courage. nrmness and
justice. he was no less marked for
senueness. meekness and mercy.
with 4 mind stored with knowledge,
with heart full of generous emotions,
with a strong will able to surmount
difficulties. all these were devoted in
the highest and best services that q
man could render to his fellow-men
We who have been intimately associated
in one Of tho many charities dear to
his hears--the care OF orphans--feel
most deeply the loss of his wise coun-
sc! and guidance. and sympathize with
the orphans who are deprived OF his
fatherly protection. As President of
this Board for more than fifteen years
he asslduously labored for the COM
fort ana happiness OF those committed
TO Its care. No sacrifice was too great.
no labor too onerous. when II was a
question Of providing for these little
ones.
Mindful as We are Of his great and i'm
portant work for the Country, 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 Invaluable
services to the homeless orphans, and
or their and our sentiments of esteem
iFreparable loss sustained by his death.
A. testimonial OF our loving respect, II
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 memb of
this Board attend his funeral In q
body.
