His character and hi s office were so blended in him in life a s to ma ke him an exemplar of in o f all the qualities required a prelate the Church . The reali za tio n o f hi so t s truth was so marked and general that, when the unexpected intelligence came that he had laid down forever ’ a nd his life s work, a Shock a sorrow went through the com m unity in every class and condition of its people . The mem o rable fact was then wi tnessed o f no t only the great city o f his labors , but also the whole country of his birth , being stirred a s in such a way to shut out thought of any other event which, under other circumstances , would be of surpassing inte rest . o wn In spite of his lifelong modesty and reserve , it was then clearly see n that he was the foremost figure in the respe ct and ff - a ection of his fellow citize ns . His unassuming personality and his gentle methods , his con u na fi ec ted siderate kindness , and his piety were the pathways to the love and veneration of his own flock . His steadfast adherence to principle a s well as his persuasive m n o f an er of not only teaching, but also acting o u t the doc i o f tr nes his religion , won for him a high and unique place in the esteem of those who rej oiced in his friendship or acquaintance . hi s His profound scholarship and experienced judgment, fi and withal his unsel sh devotion, were ever , when there wa s xi P RE FA C E question of a religious, moral , or civil import , at the service i - of h s fellow men . The testimony to the tru th of all that is here said is con ta ined in the following pages . They comprise the sentiments of the Holy Father himself, the thoughts and feelings of high civil dignitaries of the land, of his brethren in the episcopate , of his own stricken clerg y and laity on the mournful occasion o f his dece ase . f s Moreover, how the nation at large was a fected by the a d th e event, the notices herein reproduced from public press abunda ntly bear witness . fi The purpose of the present volume , then , is, in the rst place , to preserve valuable matter for the future historian of the Church in America, and , in the second place, to give expression to the deep sense of gratitude that wells up in the hearts of so many for having been the favored beneficiaries o f the wise i rule and the patient k ndness , of the noble manhood and the ’ o f o f saintly career, the third New York s illustrious arch bishops , Michael A .
