BY MOST REV.

JOHN IRELAND, D.D., _Archbishop of St.Paul._ LIFE is action, and so long as there is action there is life.

That life is worth living whose action puts forth noble aspirations and good deeds.

The man's influence for truth and virtue persevering in activity, his life has not ceased, though earth has clasped his body in its embrace.

It is well that it is so.
