Pope *jj Pius had been a model oi tho perfect i apostolic man, for ho had been a priest {: after God's Own heart. When the into Popo had succeeded Leo XIII. the spirit 6 of higher criticism had been moat aggros .'j ,<-ivo and he had worked to restore faith £t> God. his cry always being to go back ;;j to the Bible. The outbreak of the piesent | war must have been a severe blow to j; the Pope, and they could well fancy how Vj Le desired with all his heart tho coming | again of peace. || The "Dead March" was played at the ji conclusion of the service.
