J.J. Curran. The choir rendered very impressive music during the services. At the close of the mass Father Curran preached a fitting sermon appropriate to the occasion. He took for his text, Psalms 22rd, fourth verse: Though I should walk in the midst of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil for thou art with me."
      During his remarks the reverend speaker said: Death is certain for us all. It comes like a thief in the darkness of the night, and takes us into an unknown eternity. We should not hear death if we walk in the way of the Lord. King David was bold and feared no death. He walked with his God. Where is there is no death, where he is there is life. Sooner or later we will feel the rod of God striking us either by the loss of a friend, a mother or in some other affliction, but God never sends his rod, His staff accompanies it. His staff is His Divine Grace to soothe us in our affliction.
      There is one thing in this world which we are to dread. Temptation may assail us, sorrow may visit us, but we must shun sin which brings everlasting damnation to the soul. This woman whose corpse lies here in like that of King David. She feared not death, God was with her during the days of her life. She suffered a long time before the end came. She bore it all with fortitude and patience. She had the staff of God with her, and when the rod of Him was about to strike she feared it not.
      During her illness she received the sacraments of the Church. Her life was a guarantee of her death. She was left many years ago with a large family, and she cared for them well. Their education was not neglected. She was ever solicitous as to their moral training. They approached the sacraments regularly. Her duty was [done] well. Her life I would recommend as one of piety.
