Cardinal Manning.

No one can question that a good and great man left us when Cardinal Manning died.—New York Recorder. A great light has gone out from our midst, and the deepened shadows of grief fall upon all who admire the good and the true in manhood.—Detroit Free Press. The death of Cardinal Manning will be deeply regretted by not only the church which he so earnestly served, but by thousands of Christians of others denominations. —Springfield Register. Cardinal Manning was more than a prince of the church in whose communion he died. He was a statesman of the best type. His labors in public were directed toward the elevation of humanity.—Troy Press. The death of Henry Edward Manning, Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster, removes, however, a man of pre-emi-nent character and influence, one of the foremost factors in contemporaneous thought and action.—Boston Globe. He was a great man intellectually, and no better man, none of more sincere piety or more worthy achievement, has walked the earth in this oentury. He will stand as one of the most imposing figures in the history of his time.—lndianapolis Sentinel. His own words, in the noble eulogy he delivered on Newman at the requiem mass, apply with equal force to himself: “He was the center of innumerable souls, a geat teacher of men, a confessor for the faith, a preacher of justice and piety and compassion."—Buffalo Commercial.

In the estimate alike of his co-religion-ists and of his Protestant fellow countrymen, he has played a great and exemplar}' part in contemporary life, and his name is inseparably united with the history of Catholicism in the memorable period of its revival in Great Britain.— New York Sun.

Not even his great colleague, Cardinal Newman, with his rare intellectual and literary gifts, did so much as Cardinal Manning to dispel the prejudice of Protestant England, to introduce cordial co-operation in common efforts of benevolence, and' to promote the humane spirit among both Catholics and ProLiant*.—New York Times.
