where have lost an ever faithful
friend in the untimely death of
Father Flanagan. His unshaken
confidence in the love of God and
In even the least of Gods children
found eloquent expression in the
declaration that there is no such
thing as a bad boy. He has left a
living monument in the countless
boys who are today honest men and
upright citizens because of his
benign influence and abiding faith
in the inherent goodness of human
nature
Secretary of the Army Royal
said in a message to Boys Town
Trustees that Father Flanagan has
died in the service of his country
and in the service of all mankind -

similar mission to Japan.

solemn requiem mass in honor of
the departed benefactor. Play

Father Flanagan's relationship to

The priest met and had heart

his arrival. Thereafter, except when
the priest was away, he held weekly
conferences with the boys.

His door was always open," said
Byron Reed, an associate of Father
