Mink Rubs Rags —All Faiths Mingle at Rites

BY HELEN LINDSAY Times Staff Writer Held back by ropes stretched at the curbs, hundreds of sorrowful and curious stood in front of SS. Peter and Paul Cathedral this morning. Women attired in mink coats made room for shabbily dressed mourners; blue coated policemen directed the crowds to the most advantageous standing room. Standing on the steps of the cathedral, devout Catholics mingled with sympathizing Protestants. Inside the cathedral lay the body of Bishop Joseph Chartrand. for whom a pontifical requiem mass was said at 10 this morning. Waves of whispers passed from the front rows of the crowd inside the Cathedral, where the more fortunate had been able to find standing room in the aisles and the alcoves. Arrival of important dignitaries of the church were announced in whispers. “There come the nuns.” they murmured. as the slowly moving procession of black-garbed figures fifcd into the Cathedral. Grouped together in their separate oiviers. sweetfaced and sorrowful, representatives from various orders marched slowly to the seats reserved for them. “There are the Sist?rs of Provi- I dence," the murmuring voices continued. “The ones next are the Sisters of St. Francis—the ones with the wide white headdress are Sis- j ters of St. Vincent."

35,000 File in Mourning Past Bishop’s Bier

BY BASIL GALLAGHER Times Staff Writer AS the first light of a gray dawn crept across the basilican dome of the Cathedral, of SS. Peter and Paul, a white-surpliced priest ascended to the pulpit. He turned his face to the. main altar in the shadow of which the body of Bishop Joseph Chartrand lay in state between six bronze candlesticks. “Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord,” cried the priest. . “And may perpetual light shine upon him,” came the response of hundreds of parishioners, kneeling# in the shadow of the great Cathedral. The priest left the pulpit and more than 500 of the faithful filed past the bier in which the beloved prelate lay calm in death. They saw his familiar face with eyes closed forever and the hands which had been so busy in apostolic work in Indianapolis for more than thirty years covered with the unfamiliar purple gloves for burial. The crozier, pastoral staff symbolic of his office as shepherd of the flock, lay at rest beside him. That was at 5 a. m. The crowd of early morning worshippers—the remnant of a vast host of more than 35,000 people who had come to pay the bishop tribute all through the night and early morning—filed into the shadowy streets. tt n n LIGHTS sprang up throughout the church as altar boys prepared the side altars for masses, to be said by visiting dignitaries. The apostolic delegate, Archbishop Amleto Giovanni Cicognani, in his red cassock, walked past the bishop’s bier, knelt in prayer for a moment, and continued down the aisle of the church to say mass at one of the side altars. A score of other dignitaries of the church, in colorful habits, made their way to other altars. Only in Rome could a scene as symbolic of the colorful pageantry of the church be seen. And it is doubtful if even in Rome ever was witnessed such an outpouring of people to pay tribute to a prelate as was seen at the cathedral during the long, nine-hour vigil of prayer for Bishop Chartrand. Police estimated that 4.000 persons an hour passed the bier, at the head and foot of which a city policeman stood at rigid attention. Literally, the lame, the halt and the blind came to pay tribute along with people from all walks of life and of all denominations. As the vigil of prayer started at ’ 8 p. m. last night, a line of people walking four abreast extended from Meridian street around the corner to Fourteenth street and east to Pennsylvania street. Thousands of young couples, married by the bishop, thousands of children baptized by him and hundreds of pretty girls and thenescorts came to pay their respects. And today, as masses began, thousands of communicants, not only at the Cathedral, but in Roman Catholic churches all over the city, received the Holy Eucharist in honor of the dead bishop. “We expect to have more communicants today than ever before,” said a priest in the vestry of the cathedral. “That will gladden the Bishop's heart.”

GLOWING TRIBUTE PAID AT RITES FOR FAMOUS PRELATE Solemn Pageantry of Roman Catholic Church Marks Pontifical Requiem Mass for Late Bishop Chartrand. DIGNITARIES THRONG CATHEDRAL Beloved Churchman Likened to ‘Magnet of Souls, Passing Not Into Judgment, but From Death to Life.’ (Full text of Archbishop McNicholas’ funeral sermon on Page 4). The Bishop of the Blessed Sacrament today “went not into judgment, but passed from death to life.” With all the solemn pageantry of the Roman Catholic church, a pontifical requiem mass was held and a glowing funeral tribute preached at SS. Peter and Paul cathedral this morning for the Most Rev. Joseph Chartrand, D. D., sixth bishop of Indianapolis and assistant at the pontifical throne. His priests, his brother prelates, highest in the Catholic hierarchy of the United States, and laity from all walks of life breathed prayers for the repose of his soul as Archbishop Arnleto Giovanni Cicognani, apostolic delegate from the Vatican, pontificated at the requiem mass.

Tears were winked away by those to whom Bishop Chartrand had been friend as well as spiritual father when they heard the Most Rt. Rev. John McNicholas, archbishop of Cincinnati, extol the dead prelate as “a man, a priest and bishop of great faith” in the funeral sermon. Archbishop McNicholas took his text from John V. 24—“ Amen, amen, I say unto you that he who heareth my word, and believeth him that sent me, hath everlasting life; and cometh not into judgment, but is passed from life to death.” Responsive chords were struck in the hearts of many who mourned Bishop Chartrand when the archbishop said: “So convinced was Bishop Chartrand that the whole face of the 1 earth must be renovated by the ! priesthood that he left nothing unj done to encourage every good boy | of his diocese who desired to become a priest.” “Magnet of Souls” To these, the archbishop’s reminder was a personal message, for they recalled the substantial aid to which the bishop had coupled his spiritual zeal in helping them obtain their life’s objective. But the thousands who thronged the cathedral and listened to the radio broadcast, the archbishop's | perhaps most meaningful words were when Bishop Chartrand was | likened to a “magnet of souls.” # “Not only this city and the diocese. but the whole country knew | him for his labors in the sacred | tribunal of the confessional,” said the archbishop. “Each morning before daybreak he was found there as the loving father, the merciful judge, the skilled spiritual physican. Many hours of each day were given to this court of self-accusation and mercy. His place there shall not be fiiled, because it is given to few | priests to attract souls in such numi bers, and to make them joyful selfaccusers and grateful penitents. Will Bless Memory “What an army of those cleansed by the blood of Christ in the sacred tribunal will bless the memory of Bishop Chartrand until the last j breath of life.” i All of the somber majesty and ! dignity of the centuries-old formulae ! marked the last rites of Bishop j Chartrand beginning with the office of the dead at 9:30. Every available public seat in the cathedral was taken early, and row after row of the reserved sections filled with surpliced priests and tonsured abbots as time for the office ! of the dead neared. Left-hand section was reserved | for nuns. There were Sisters of I Charity. their flaring, stiffly- | starched white headdresses con- : trasting sharply with the somber | garments of the Sisters of Providence and the Sisters of St. Francis. Monks of Every Order To their right were the priests I and monks of every order—Capuchin : monks with the emblem of their orI der embroidered on their left sleeves; j Franciscan monks of both subdii visions of their order in black and brown cassocks; Dominioans and ! Benedictines in black and black and ' white, and a number of visiting Jesuites from outside the province. The Dominicans’ enrapture and interest in the ceremonies was intensified by the fact that the Archbishop McNicholas, who preached the funeral sermon, is the only Dominican archbishop in the United States. The procession of prelates, with honor guards of deacons, moved into the cathedral promptly aft 10. First came the crass bearer, flanked by two acolytes. Followed the monseignori, their black gowns crowned by the flaming baretta. Next came the officers of the mass in their gray and silver vestments and then the apostolic delegate, representative of His Holiness. Black Coffin Closed His robes made a vivid splash of color with his crimson gown surmounted bjua cape of ermine. Two bearers held aloft his train. The procession deployed at the altar railing with the apostolic delegate being dressed at the throne

with vestments of the mass, includYig the miter. Bishop Chartrand’s black coffin, in which he lay in state dressed in the robes of his office, wearing the bishop's ring of sapphire w-ith his crozier at his side, was closed. The magnificent and awe-inspir-ing strains of the mass were sung by the Schola Cantorum of the cathedral and the Indianapolis clergy choir under the direction of Elmer Andrew Steffen. Buried Beside Bishop Chatard The mass, one of the most important and "significant in the Roman Catholic musical history, was composed by Dom Lorenzo Perosi, former director of the Sistine Choir in Rome, and first w-as sung in 1898 at the sealing of the tomb of Pope Leo XIII. It first was sung in Indianapolis for Bishop Chatard, Bishop Chartrand’s predecessor, by whose side the beloved Indianapolis prelate will be buried in the cathedral. The celebration of the pontiflcial high mass began, following the impressive processional through the main aisle of the church. The Apostolic Delegate, Archbishop Cicognani mounted to the marble throne on the north side of the altar where flanked by the assistant celebrants of the mass he was vested in the gray and silver robes of requiem. Sealed in Tiers The bishops and mon.signiori in their red and purple vestments were seated in tiers along both sides of the main altar, with seats and prayer benches placed for them on the altar steps of the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph's altars at the north and south sides of the cathedral, respectively. The scene resembled a great painting of medieval Rome, replete with the color and pageantry of the Roman Catholic church, resplendent even in mourning. As the mass began, the pontiff - cator of the mass and his assistants walked slowly to the altar where the prayers at the foot of the altar were sung in Latin. The Schola Cantorum sang the various parts of the mass with feeling and fine technique. Sank to Its Knees As they chorused the “Sanctus” the bell on the altar of the church tinkled thrice and the . entire congregation, estimated at more than 1.500, sank to it* knees. During the Elevation of the Host, a vast silence enveloped the whole cathedral interrupted only by the bells as the apostolic delegate lifted up first the Host, and then the Chalice, for adoration. Officers of the mass were the Rt. Rev. Joseph E. Hamill, chancellor of the diocese, who served as arch priest; the Rev. John O'Hare, of Washington, deacon; the Rev. Albert Busald, St. Anthony’s church, Indianapolis, sub-deacon; the Rt, Rev. Monsignor Maurice O’Connor, St. Joan of Arc’s, and the Rt. Rev. Monsignor Frederic Ketter of Evansville, deacons of honor to the apostolic delegate; the Rev. Michael Gorman of Terre Haute and the Rev. Basil Heusler of Jasper, deacons of honor to Archbishop McNicholas. The Rev. James Hickey acted as master of ceremonies, assisted by the Rev. Eberhart Olinger of St. Meinrad’s Abbey, the Rev. George Dunn, the Rev. Henry Hermann and the Rev. James Moore, all of Indianapolis. Three Archbishops Present Archbishop Samuel A. Stritch of Milwaukee joined the Apostolic Delegate and Archbishop McNicholas to make a triumverate of archbishops present at the services. In the great host of more than 600 clergy from all parts of the country who swelled the funeral procession were thirty bishops. Among them were the Most Rev. James J. Hartley of Columbus, O.; the Very Rev. John O'Hara, vicepresident of Notre Dame university; the Very Rev. James Donahue, superior general of the Holy Cross order; the Very Rev. Frank McKiernan S. J.; the Rev. Columban Thuis, abbot of St. Josephs monastery, St. Benedict, La., and th Rev. Ignatius Esser, abbot of St. Meinrad's abbey.
