Her prie-dleu was adorned with flowers, and the dim, religious light of the sanctuary sanc-tuary lamp showed her face radiant with happiness. The kindly smile that has lighted the sick room and made those who came In contact with the nun happier for having known her, was doubly attractive. The air was redolent redo-lent of the odor of Incense, and black-robed black-robed sisters walked In a procession, holding lighted candles in their hands. A solemn high mass was sung by Bishop Bish-op Matz, with a number of priests present pres-ent in the sanctuary. Sisters of the Mercy order from all parts of the state participated in the celebration.

Among other things he said: '"Occasions like these are rare in the west where the church is as yet. one might say, in swaddling clothes. But in following the life of the Savior, the mission of mercy Is the most sublime, the most beauti ful, the most appealing thing on the face of the earth. We have met to crown one who has consecrated the best years of her life to the work of mercy, the sublimest task in life."
