The late Bishop Boyie‘s earnest desire to be hushed in Charlotte- town, and his solicitude for the prielu and people of his diocese during his last conscious moments, were revealed in the course of an eloquent funeral oration at St.. Dunstan's Basilica yesterday by the Most Rev. John R. MacDon- ald, D.D.. Bishop of Antlgonlsh. “Eight. weeks ago." said the speaker. “Bishop Boyle and I left .or Rome on our official “ad li- mina" visit to the Holy See. while sroasing the Channel from lmgland to France, Bishop Bolye became very ill and. on arrival at Calais. France. he was taken to a hospital. rhere it. was decided than an oper- ation was necessary. and that he could not continue the journey to Rome. He chose to have the opera- viofl in London and I returned with him He entered the Hospital of St. John and St. Elizabeth, which the Sisters of Incidentally—coincidentally one might say——the Sister Matron of the Hospital is Sister St. Dun- stan. There the diagnosis was con- iirnied and there Bishop Boyle re- ceived excellent medical and surgi- (‘Ii attention and most devoted and kindly nursing care. The surgical operation itself was successful. but a heart attack resulted in death. On two occasions. the Bishop was visited by the Archbishop of Westminster. I-Its Eminence Cardi- nal Griffin. Later, from Lourdes en route to Rome. His Eminence further showed his solicltude by writing the Hospital enquiring as to the Bishop's condition and sending him word that he had re- membered him that day in Mass at the Holy Grotto.

During his last days. the Bishop was delirious, but. on several oc- casions. when his mind was mo- mentarily clear. he made remarks, two of which I think I should re- lay to you. The first remark that I remember was: “It is good to die in the Marian Year." That re- mark. so brief yet so meaningful, revealed his deep spirituality and his great love of God‘s Holy Mother.

The second remark was in the form of a question: "If I died, 1 will be taken back to Charlotte- town. will I not?" manifesting his desire to return to his beloved priests and people and to be buried at home.

During the less serious part of his illness—while I was in Rome- he wrote me a letter in which he said. salute for me "Roma antiqu- issima. mater mea. et urbs animae meae“ Home most ancient. my mother and city of my soul." Therein he expressed his profound attachment to the Holy City, cen- tre of Christendom and of our Catholic Faith.

LOOKED FORWARD TO VISIT

He had looked forward with epis- copal joy to this visit to Rome. where at the tombs of the apostles he would again profess his faith and his loyalty: where he would receive the blessing of the succes- sor of St. Peter. the holy and be- loved Pope Pius XII; and where in the Basilica of St. John Lateran. Mother of all churches. the church of his own priestly ordination, he would again renew his vows and his resolutions. This pI'li/lie!!! was denied him and he was called in-

Decides To Keep floating island

WATBIRIOO. Que.. (CPi—After trying for days to get rid of it. Granby lawver Gerard Normandin Friday announced he is going to keep an island that was washed up on the beach of his summer home at Waterloo lake, '75 miles southeast. of Montreal.

The floating island, complete with evergreen trees and a lush growth of shrubs. was originally a 250-foot square section of land on R. D. Hammonds farm on the op- posite side of the lake. It became detached last. Sunday after exccp tionslly heavy rains, and wind pushed it into the little bay where Normiindin has his private beach.

Normahdin said he will turn the island into a private park. now that attempts to tow it away have failed. He had stationed A bull- dorer across the bay to pull the island into deeper water. but on the first attempt Wednesday the cables broke. The island had moved out only ill feet_

The steadily-decreasing water level made work difficult and the island was moved out Thursday only five feet more. Friday the island was firmly grounded.

"It's a gift of nature." Norman- din said. "We can build a bridge out to it. cut down the trees. and turn the land into a terraced lawn pr somethign else. I haven't really thought out what well do yet."

IMPRESSIVE FUNERAL OIIATION DELIVERED BY BISHOP MCDONALD

stead to report to Him of whom Pope Plus is earthly Vicar and to receive from divine lips the com- mendation "Weli done. good uid faithful servant." the only com- mendation for which he always prayed and labored.

At any time. death is a penalty from which human nature shrinks —inevitable though it is. More grevinua indeed is death when it comes unexpectedly in a distant land and among strangers. That. dear Bishop Boyle faced the issue with priestly courage and with spiritual serenity was evident to all who were near him in those last trying days and hours.

The original schedule for our journey called for return to Amer- lcia on the ocean liner Queen Mary. It sailed on June 8rd—t.he day of the Bishop's death. His name was on the printed passenger list. The June 4th issue of the ship's news- paper recorded his death.

ALWAYS PREPARED

What more striking example than this could one have of the llIl(‘€I'Iail'i duration of life and of the unpredictable circurristandbe surrounding death? For this un- certainty Bishop Boyle had con- sistently prepared and death found him ready. Very many times he had prayed the Psalmist‘s prayer:

"How I love thy law. 0 Lord! it is my meditation all day long.

“Thy word is a lamp to my feet. and a light to my path.

"I swear and am determined to keep thy just ordinances. "Thy precepts are my inheritance

forever. because they are the

joy of my heart. “I have inclined my heart to ful- fill tiiy laws. perpetually, ac- curately."

—Psalm 118. Daily in the Church's evening prayer — Compline of the Devine

Office — he said the pl'ay€l‘£ “In— to thy hands 0 Lorri. I commend my spirit." Daily he said the Nunc Dlmittia of holy Simeon The truth and the sentiments of these prayers were imbedded in his soul. “Blessed is the man that shall meditate in his justice. and in his mind shall think of the all-seeing eye of God." (Dari. 14.22).

It was my privilege to know Bishop Boyle as student, priest and Bishop. Through the years. he did not change: always kind. and gen- tle. a reader and student. with a humble friendliness for all. and a fine touch of humor. As a pastor. his love of souls was manifested especially in his devotedness to the duty of pastorial visitation and in

his flock. With Our Lord he could say: "Suffer little children to come unto me. for such is the Kingdom of God."

Highly educated himself. he had

all levels and in all its aspects. To him education was a comprehen- sive. constructive process of de-

ern needs and to changes in edu-

he knew that there coiud be adap- tation without sacrificing estab- lished principles and ideals.

HIS GREAT WORKS Under his leadership and guid-
