 Within the quiet of the church whose activities he supervised for the past four years, the body of Father Brennan lay in state from four o'clock yesterday afternoon. Solemn ceremonies accompanied the removal of the body from the rec tory to the church, for the view of thousands of Waterbury Catholics and non- Catholics.
 Father Brennan's quiet, unassum- ing nature had won to him r ,n- dreds of friends of religious views other than that he preached so well and intelligently for 4i years.
 From the time the beautiful cas- ket bearing Father Brennan's re- mains was wheeled into the church, 1t was guarded vigilantly by repre- sentatives of the various church or- ganizations. The vigil started at { o'clock yesterday and continued throughout the hours of the night and this morning until burial cefe- monies were completed.
