had served her we'll as priest. bishop
archbishop and cardinal for forty ght
years.

noble building that had once been only
one of his dreams. Beside him in
silent companionship rested what was

Church who had fought the fight which
he in his turn mad carried on-Car-
dinal McCloskcy and Archbishops
Hughes and Corrigan.

dinal Farley lay on its purple bier in
the crossing OF St Patrick's Cathedral

ion persons who had streanfed through
the great pile TO bid him farewell knelt
and prayed for the repose of his soul at
portifcal high requiem mass cele-
brated by Archbishop John Bonzano,
Inc Papa, Delegate.
