Died Poor

The late Bishop Doyle, of Lismore (New South Wales'), stood possessed (we are told) of one shilling and sixpence when death came to him, with sudden knock, a few weeks ago. Some people are possessed of money. Some are in worse case: they are possessed by money. Bishop Doyle belonged to neither class.. The ne.eds of charity, of religion, of educationj in, his big, scattered diocese, furnished, day by day, many temptations to his generosity. He yielded with smiling grace. And, as he looked around at the work achieved by his open-handed largess, he must have felt that poverty has joys which are worth the winning.
