Loss to Civilized World
The Right Rev. Frederick Burgess,
Bishop Of the Episcopal Diocese OF
Long Island: His death is a loss not

but to the whole civilized world. While
he sat on the faral throne events of

H.nts during the war. while on ac-
count of the heated passions and the
fierce underlying motives controlling
national actions they did not receive
regular acknowledgment by the gov
ernments or bring about cessation of
warfare VIII, wher the final history is
written, be recognized as among the
roblest documents and as expressing
the spirit Of the Lord Jesus Christ"
The Rev nr. S. Parkes Cadman. OF
Brooklyn: Pope Benedict's death is a
great loss to all Christendom did
not expect his death SO soon. He WAS
not, comparatively, very old man.
No doubt the great weight of his Office
had something to DO with his early

oppressed a great many Christian
hearts bore heavily upon him.
