tribute to the life of Dean Quinn
saying
20 Lord, Thou hast tried me, and
hast known me" Cps. l38-D
The angel of death has invaded tho
sanctuary--the anontcd Of the Lord
has been ruthessly violated% and to
day we stand silently and mournfully
about that well known, but lifelesS
form~-clad indeed in his sacrficia
robes-but never more to be seer
ministering at Gods altar. Dear
Quinn is gone, The struggle between
body and soul is Ger Noble was hi
life-rich his peaceful hi'
death. Now he is gone, but his mem
ory shall live on-so long as men, ad
mire lofty ideals-brave hearts AM
stout champions of the right.
"Goes To Eternal Home"
It was a startling message, tha
went out from this fair city at tn
close of last Monday-telling the III
prepared people-that death ha
claimed as its Own-the beloved pas
tor of st. Columba's. 1t was a repC
tition of the oft told tale-of the pass
ing of mortality. 1t was the summon
from the master of the house to on
of his chief stewards to give an az
count of his stewardship. 1t was tn
going of an immortal spirit-frOm
i. house of clay, to an eternal home
was the carrying out of the sentenc
pronounced on humanity and to whic
every child of man must bow. Whe
this message came forth | realize
that one of natures sweetest gifts an
one of Gods noblest sons had cease
to be a part of my life and of tn
lives of thousands of others
