 Respected, Old Family.

were given over to church duties,
 and in the early days she followed
 the trend of olden days by teaching
 catechism, to a class of boys who shall never forget the earnestness
 of her instruction. She was strict,
 as these boys, now grown to man.
 hood, will tell you, but back of it all
 was that old time feeling of sim
 cereity for ones own betterment
 that went with every lesson given. The boys of Miss Corden's class stu-
 died hard; they had to; no excuses
 were accepted for not knowing what
 was in the little book of instruction.
 And how proud she was when every
 boy was able to answer the ques-
 tions propounded. And how she gloried in the success of her class as they grew older, and stepped out
 into the business world. She never forgot them; she didn't want to for get them, and they didn't wish to forget her. They felt better for what she had taught them in their younger days.
 Miss Corden knew the history of the Church of the Sacred Heart probably better than any other person of the East End. From its very start, she really gave her nfe's work for the cause. She became acquainted with almost every missionary band that appeared at the church from the very start or when the Dominican Order first held its mission back in the early nine ties, or thereabout.
 No one inside of the church, let alone one outside, can actually give full insight into the activities of this exceptional soul, on the spirit ual side. She loved her church; |; she loved her religion; she loved old friends; she loved old neighbors; she sought the welfare of all, and never lost friendship in the faith of those she knew. The sick of the parish she never forgot, until her own affliction forced her indoors.
 Yes, Anne Corden was of the old stock, a rare kind, somewhat differ ent in makeup than we find in many instances in these days of hard knocks, and inability to secure proper employment. Her high re- gard for the young was well known to those close to her. The changes in life from the old horse and buggy days, were for the better, she thought and so declared.
 We attended the service that goes with the death of these good Catholic people. And we rejoiced when sshe saw the Rev. John Mo- Grath, of Thomaston, and Father Wolff taking part in the ceremony These two young men served as al- tar boys when Miss Corden was so active in her church duties. Father McGrath never forgets the old East End or its people in time of death. No matter where he is, he makes it a point to be present at the requiem. And so does young Father Wolff. both sons of highly respected and old time residents of the eastern section of the city. Our high re- gard for these two young priests in- creases every time we SC. them in attendance at such a sad time. This. too, seems to be the feeling of all, regardless of faith, toward these two thoughtful priesss.

BY THE OUT EASTER

Poor old out east! - How the old families dwindle; how death reaches out and plucks one every SO often.
 We have just buried Anne Cor den, member of an old time family that occupied the old home on Wall street for over half a century. The goodness that followed her in her daily pursuits for these many years will never be known, not alone ap- preciated.
 She lived for the good of you, and for the good of all of us. She slav- ed for the church of her faith, the Church of the Sacred Heart; her accomplishments were known to those of us who have lived out here these many years, but we doubt if the church authorities ever fully realized the work she did in behalf of religion, and the success of the parish with which she was identi- fled ever since its establishment.
 But the original rector, the late Rev. Hugh Treanor, surely did. Everything in the arrangement of the various altars for the many years of his reign were left to the judgment of this well known wo- man. Hours and hours of her time

including more than 10 advertisers,
has been doing SO we'll that the girls
