Late MOnsignor
 Not only the Knights but the general Catholic public appreciated mostly highly the qualifications which the third of the Supreme Chaplains displayed in the pros- ecution of his duties. One of our educational institutions bestowed upon him the right to use the let ters IL. D., after his name and his personal qualifications were all that could be desired. He was a good curate, a good prCach- CT, a good builder, and a good fellow Knight. Little by little he became known from one end of the United States to the other. AS Supreme Chaplain, Monsignor John McGivney travel ed from coast to coast. We know of no ecclesiastical rival who cov- cred more American cities, or quite as many, unless it be the present Pope Plus XII.
 Monsignor McGivney knew his United States and that from close and intimate study. Catholics from all sections of the country met him and found him eager to learn the special conditions which

Catholic Transcript Pays Splendid Tribute To Memory
 OF Waterburys Distinguished Sons-7he McGDney Brothers

A tribute to the late MonSignor John J. McGivney, supreme chap lain of the Knights of Columbus, is paid editorially in the current issue of the Catholic Transcript. It also contains an eulogy of his predecessor and late brother, Monsignor Patrick J. McGivney. Reference is made to the founder of the Knights of Columbus, Rev. Michael McGivney. The three H. lustrious brothers were natives of Waterbury. They are buried in the family plot in old St. Joseph's cemetery.
 The tribute follows:
 MONsIGNoR JOHN McGIvNEY
 Monsignor McGivney came from Waterbury and from a priestly . family. His parents had three sons priests. Were they alive to- day they could point to three grandsons all of sacredotal rank. The first of the McGivney brothers founded the Knights of Columbus. There could be but one founder, and 50 it same that the other two had to be satisfied with holding the office of Supreme Chaplain. The latter two were church. builders. The Founder of the Knights was never in a po- sition to build. Indeed, he was never parish priest, he dled too early in his sacerdotal career.
 Father John McGivney served as a curate in Bridgeport and Meriden. Before he had qualified for a parish, he was named a member of the diocesan mission band. He helped to give retreats in many parishes through the Diocese of Hartford. His first parish was on the outskirts of the city of New Haven. built there one of the most beautiful granite churches in the Diocese. Indeed, his parish was advancing so pro- misingly that some of his fellow priests were rather surprised that he surrenrered it in order to suc- ceed his brother at St. Charles, Parish, Bridgeport.
 Father John McGivney suc- ceeded both of his clerical brothers as Supreme Chaplain of the K. of c. His heart and soul were naturally in the work which his oldest brother had established

the credit which was due to his brother. The reply was: Perhaps"
 A few days after the article had appeared, Monsignor Mo- Givney met the editor of The Transcript and he was very pro- fuse in expressing his gratitude for what The Transcript had done. It was enough to have his oldest brother establish the K. of c. even if the first man to con- ceive the thought was Bishop McMahon, one of the ablest of the prelates who have ever presided over the destinies of the Catholic Church in the United States.
 The passing of Monsignor Mo- Givney leaves the clerical body of the Diocese of Hartford the poorer, but his good work remains and will lend much to the we'll being of the Catholic Church in Connecticut and throughout the United States. It was necessary for him to leave his parish fre- quently, but the plant which he completed on succeeding his brother, Monsignor Patrick Mo- Givney, is one of the most per- fectly equipped in the State. Had it been possible for him to spend all his time with his immediate flock, more perfect service could have been rendered. But his suc- cessor will never cease to bless his memory for the intelligent work which the Right Reverend John J. McGivney performed for the advancement of the parish which his brother had established. St. Charles parish has reason to hold in benediction the McGivney brothers, so wise and so deeply devoted to the cause of religion at home and abroad. May the Lord give them eternal rest.

UNDER THE GAsL1oHT
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER
7ood Evening.

Twas balmy spring-like evening, All us kids were studying hard, Reading, etymology, arithmetic, And poetry by famous bard We were gathered round big table, Very busy at our learning, And directly overhead
 A tungsten light was burning. Ma said it was turned too high,
 But Willy said he couldn't see So in the strong gaslight glare We were as busy as could be. I wonder now after blankety- blank years That have an eye in my head That ever found Bohemia on the map Or that knew what I read, About Lincoln and Patrick Henry, Or located Paris on the Seine, What countries bordered the Baltic Or where for that matter was Ukraine. Oh, we're living in different age today, Pipes up Willy to gramp, As he places himself comfortably Beside bright student lamp. But like just the same to remember Those evenings when we studied so hard, History and spelling under the gaslight And poetry by some famous bard.
