In his eulogy Chaplain Maguire 11aid in part: "The distinguished Cardinal Arch- bishop of New York, a noble Ameri- can patriot, has departed from this life and gone to meet God. He had led a consecrated life in the service of his ,maker and his fellow man. May the Lord grant peace and hap- piness to his soul. "Yesterday, to his New York ca- thedral came former colleagues of the college of cardinals, archbishops, bishops and prelates from historic and populous sees, old priests and those in the glory of early man- hood; they crowded the sanctuary. Federal, state and city officials thronged the spacious nave, and rich and poor, young and old mourned the passing of one whom they loved, one who so well had wielded the sceptre of the Fisher- man. "We are assembled today to assist at the holy mass which our beloved Bishop Buddy is offering for the repose of the soul of Patrick Car- dinal Hayes.

"To the whole world, Cardinal Hayes was known as a distinguished prince of the church. To the clergy of the great archdiocese over which he so gently ruled he was known as a saintly priest, a courageous and prudent shepherd. But the poor of the city knew him, too, and they probably will never see the likes of him again. It was my happy privil- ege one day to walk with him in a fity street and to see the faces of his people light up with affection as he passed. Our progress was slow for he had a kind word for many who sought to hear the consoling tone of his voice. The hungry he had fed, the naked he had clothed, and the fallen he had lifted up. He was in truth, the cardinal of chari- ties."

VOICES APPRECIATION "We of the naval service are grateful for the privilege of taking part in this august ceremony in memory of our Chaplain Bishop. We thank you, Most Reverend Bishop, for your sympathy and gen- erosity in offering us chaplains who have no church, this cathedral where we and our men are come to assist you at holy ma.ss for the repose of the soul of our Spiritual Father. We are grateful, too, for the fatherly interest in our men that has always been shown by the priests of San Diego, and the hearty welcome always tendered the army and navy personnel serving in this area. We thank the members of the priests' choir for their cooperation on this occasion.
