FUNERAL SEREMON DELIVERED BY REV. FATHER L. MENARD,I' ON SIE OCCASION OF TIlE DEATH OF S A D "EJ, BELOVED WIFE OF CIlAt. E. BRINGHURST. "Let my soul die the death of the just, and my last end be like to them."-Nuin hers 23, 10. When the hosts of Israel were encamp ed over against Moab, a soothsayer whom God had transformed into a prophet, un der divine Inspiration exclaimed: "How beautilul area thy tabernacles, O Jacob, and thy tents, O Israel! As woody val leys, as watered gardens near the rivers, as tabernacles Lhich the Lord had pitch ed, as cedars by the water side."- Nuui bers 24, b.

It is not mliy intention to divert your thoughts fi'tait her , hose knell has stirred such echoes i 'syn paths flront so large a ;nutibetr ol frientds, a circle i,roauier than that of whi h we folim a part-floio the kind mother waho diew these, children, fiml their eill lictt develolpnetnt to the love of divine thlings- flrom the sincere soul whose prety hbet the houage of mIen as it won the appaiuse of hod--nor of the .kind friend t i out we all hope to meet agailt, wbhen we are all harbored again in eternal glory. Noe, my brethren. For, though we see but the lofrm which once embodied all that is dear to you ; though se stand beft'ore the liteless tframe, now chiselled by death into eternal calm, let us b. hold her as she was utder the hand of death, before the last breathing was over, and the divine Bridegroom called her departing soul. 1. \\ hen Jesus Christ spoke to men, for the tirst tinme, He said: "Blessed are the clean of heart, for they shall see tod." It had been said before that they who are detiled cannot enter through the gates of. the holy city. I no not ite-rely say that Mrs. Bring hurst was familiar with these truths. To do jubtice to her mtlemory, I must add that, a hat she believed, she acted out in' practice. bhe knew that, of all evils, moral evil is the greatest. She knew that, of all moral evils, nmortal guilt is the deadliest. but she knew, too, with the certainty of taith, that Christ Jesuans left to His Uhurch, the fullness of His forgiv inug pos er. Hence it is that, as she was faithful in life, she was found faithful unto death. Responsive to graces which divine love had pouired out onl her, she did not put off till the last moment, the contfession of her sins. Like the royal -euitent, whose appeal for mercy was on her lips, she begged to be purified more and nmore. Firm resolves preceded holy absolution, God's sentence of mercy, FGout's gracious pardon, which, though spoken by human lips, gave her thesweet assurance that she had been received into favor. What shall I say of the sat isfactory value of those suftlirings, men tal and physical, the last drop of which was so bravely draineed? What shall say of that agony taused Iy the approach. tuing separation of daughter from mother, of sister from brothers, of mother from children, of a loving ite floen a lovillg consort with whmn she elxpected to pass her life in administering and receiving mutual celomfort I Thus did she appear to you who watch eel, a ith trembling silence, over her dy ing couch Thus did she begin to purify her soel with sacramental grace. ''Ths i did she seek to nlerit, by faithful corres SIpoldence to grace, that God should shed tupon her dying eyes, the peaceful and I happy light of the ktngdom which she n mlaftilly strove to conquer. "Let my 3soul, etc." 11.

Hiow was It apprecated by her whtom we C now mou:n, and whose woul, wse hope, is qnckenlled by the glance of otld ? ' Ready to do, to the last, all that failing a strenugthl allowed, she summoned all the powers of her generous soul to do honor to the diviue Guest, in Eucharistic des guise. ' uoru out by protracted liasease, she betought her Sbavor ill the words of I Lazarus' friends: "he whomt thou lovest is sick." ' Disengaged from all earthly objects, r she maete her ownt the as],irations of tdi , vine love with which the exile of 'atmuiu echused tie inspired volunte: "Lord Jesus, t colUe." u Although death stared her in the ftes, r she viewed it with .sweet seretlity, with a the tranquility of innocence, and smuiled Sat the thought thattshe was going to en joy the visiot of Goil. Credo ridure bona Domini in terra ri eultiunm. Pouring out her soul to her Creator, whom in EItal Preseuee sho adored, that Everlasting Presence which was her guide and stay in other days, but now her only joy, and comfort in her overpowering a:uxietie. ash" op lueo her hallowed lips to receive her Savior. lingling the telars of repeilalie with the tears of :t Ilast fare well to her friends. Tilus did she launch into t ternity, transliured in tlhie world of light where the Good Shlepliherl gathers His sheep on the Everlasting Hills. "Let lily soul," etc. Now, my brethren, before you whisper the last good-bye to your dear antd la ulented sister in U(hrit, allow me to re. }-eat for your comllfort the words of Jesus to the sister of Lazarus: "Thou shalt see him again." We miiay cherish this hope, if we die the death of the just, if our end be like unto theirs. For the victory of death is short lived. The flowers hate fallen, but they will rise atainl in an eternal spring. The river is frozeni, but a neIw light and ann of the Resurrection will liberate it from its frozen tt eters, alnd it shall flow for all eternity.
