Fivefold Rite of
Absolution
Is Given
Hushed beneath the cloud of
a great grief, 'the life of the city
paused yesterday in its course
while the funeral cortege of Arch
bishop George Montgomery
passed through the streets at
noon. The pageant of sorrow,
the swell of emotion^ smote an
answering chorci in every heart.
From the deep-toned diapason of
the cathedral organ, that quivered
on the air. like a naked heart
throb; to. the mute appeal of the
golden : crucifix, , borne aloft by a
(white-robed priest before. the bier,
the obsequies of the prelate, loved
and dead, told the loss that had
come to the living.
' It -was the articulate presenta
tion of the church's sorrow and
her confidence in immortality, but
its ' very magnificence awoke
many; a". memory, of human sor
row. In . the streets through
which the procession passed men
paused from their work and stood
with 'uncovered heads." while the
cortege went by. There were
tears, for the beloved Archbishop,
and; .there were other tears : that
told-; of .; memories awakened \u25a0. and
the "strife .of hope and death that
every, 1 heart hides.
Priests : from many parishes
filled the" chancel and toqk =their
seats in the - nave. There were
Franciscans, wearing the brown
habit of their order and ' march
ing.. with solemn ; tread, even as
they " had come to the . city over
two. centuries ago. Dominicans,
Jesuits, * Paulists, ; Sulpiciaris 1 and
Salesians \ were . there, with the sisters
of -: twelve ";• different orders.'."^ Five
Bishops 'joined in the service and gave
to > the I body : of .' the dead the fivefold
absolution " that^ Is said . only - for; those
ofTnlgh{rankln,the church militant.
;"- Notable^ in, the /ceremony, .the .mag
nificence of which had never been sur
passed In this city, _was the chanting of
the. senior, students of ',St- Patrick's
Seminary: as" they Intoned the Gregorian
