Archbishop John Bonzago, apostolic
delegate at Washington, celebrated
pontifcal requiem mass in the cathe-
dral of the Bessed Virgin Mary, with
seminarians chanting Gregorian music
never before heard outside the Sistine
chapel in Rome during funeral of a
pope.
Archbishop Glennon Of st. Louis de-
livered the guneral sermon. During
his eulogy of the dead there remained
scarcely dry eye among his hearers,
whose memories went back to the kind
lv, gentle old man who led with power
Of spirit as well as power of mind
