"83"

Sinking, slowly sinking, like some we11 ry traveler, whose life and v igor a long stru ggle with sufferin g bvs overcome, "83"-its work d one, i ts conq uests made, its harvests gathered, its hopes blighted, its anticipations realized, "83" is dying to-night-dying slow hut sure. Yet not slow; for the hands of the clock must t ell six ty ami a half to mark the midn ight hou r and "-ithin that ti me the f •te ofthousan ds may be Joretolcl . But if the rem11.ining minutesspeed as swiftly as their mate~, th e psss­age from vld to new will be ns hurried as a friend's ti.l re1Yell. llll brie f AS !ewe-taking when the heart is full and men clasp hsncls to meet--in Heaven above.

And this old dep·utiug year a lmost reacly to he numbered wi th the solemn lwn<l re ls mtl t h 'wusa tHb in oblivion gone ; this old yen· in which we have li,•ecl. of which we have been a p tr t, whose months and weeks and daye, we have called our own, uutil now at h1~t

be will furn ish the or iginals etolen by each depart­ing year nnd the morning of the judgment day will show "·hat artists men have been and what prize& they deserve fo r the beauty or d eformity of their crea­tions. As God has dealt in the past, so will He, if the year be given, de::tl in the future. Men are the builcten of their own fo rtunes. To construct these so t~at they ru'l.y re:tch up to and deserv e ablessing fromtl!e Heavens and yet bwe fo undat.ions sufficiently broad , not only lor self but for some poore r ne ighbor, depends upon ex­perience, upon forethouo-ht :mel on wisdom oft timee pur­ch ·1~e d at a hig h price in a very dull market. Plans, it m1.y be ob>erverl, are serviceable guides , not only in the process of material construction but likewise in the course of hnman life. P lana however are not, nor, should they n!IYays be considered , infallible. F ollowing them too uli nclly sometimes results in folly and not infrequent­ly in serious d isaster. A margin is a good thing, not on ly " On change" but also in household and social afi'airs. A margin for t he im provement of the things of life, with tl!at keen sense of nppreciation for a fellow being, bC'gotten of a higher motive than that of, "how rn uch is he "·orth and how mnchcan be made out ofhim," opens a better and broader horizon for nature's noble­own-to say nothing of the christian-than that afforded hy the storm tossed lowering clouds of selfishness and dece it. To be a helper ana a worker in the great battle of life, to do one's whole duty well, how bumble soeTer i t may be, is better than to be a Vanderbilt or a Stewart.

One day , howeve r, is loved beyond all others by this peop le-All Souls <l:ly . Devo tion to the so ul s in Pur­gato ry is one or the most to uching devotions or tb e good Tyroie~c .

Tl1en the ccmetrry or ns the Ge1 mrtn tong ue so be<tutifnll y expresses ii Goct'~ acre, spe:tks volu mes fo r the love ol· the T y rolese for th eir cle:1cl. ~ev ent! clays prev ious t o A ll ~o nls' cl1y the good peo ple nre busily engaged in cleeor:tting the graves of cl ep u·ted loved ones with wreathes nncl tmnslormi ng the cemetery from n place of mourning into a bc~tutiful g:l rclen brilliant with the riuhest r-l owcrs ancl innumemLle can<ll es. The grand e vent o f the year , Lhough, is the procession call ed Pocn· Sntl~ 1J1'0Gei:i~ion which I t his yea r had the pleasure of witnessing. Afcer Ve~pe rs on A ll S:1.ints' day the people assembled in the Pfarr I-Iof or sq.1are before t :1e Parish Church and fo rmetl a proces~ ion headed by the cru ciftx and Calt<ll e bea rers. The men followed immediately being divid ed into g roups, e:-tch g roup h:tv ing a lectcle r who rec ited the Rosc<ry . After t he men came th e women who nlso reei teci the Hosary in the same m:-~nn e r as th e men. Th en fiJ II owed the different orders o f the clergy a nrl a fte r tl1em c:tme the De:u1 of Innsbr·nck in a bl:te lc Co pe. Til e ce metery is a mile li·om the .PcLri sh Church and on the w:1y thi ther the process ion was const:tnt ly increased by ne w comers. The day wns cleli gl1tful , 110t a cloud was to be seen, tlte Alps towe red above us in their m1jestic bcn uty and t he wh ole sce ne was imleser ib:1bly beaut if'ul. The rlcep murmur of men's vo ices blencierl in bt·scecbi ng tones to t he bea ven­ly Father fvr mercy for thc~e <l e 1r d ep 1rte.l vn es ancl the plaint iv e me lody of th e " Dies In12" added mu ch to t he impress i vencss of Lbe sce ne.

Before J dese; r ibe the close of thi s moving cerem ony in th e ee mc tery I wi ll Lry to g iv e fL short descrip t ion or th e ce111 e tcry itsell: The entrn nce or pur tn.ls nrc ap­pr(nc ll ccl IJj' a g t·,ln<l n l ' ~:n uc ohad t:tl 0 11 e ither side by

tn.ll fmd stately trees. Over the grand entrance is a

ma g·n ificent sta tue of our Divine Lord and under it t hese consoling words for the suffering souls "Ego sum Ress urrectio ct vita."

The cemetery is enclosed by a high wall and ns one enters the Gra ncl PortfLl he finds himself in a cloister wh ich leads a round the gro unds to ti.Je Mortuary Chapel. 'l'he wnll s o f this clois ter are co verecl with l.Jeautiful fregcoes and a ll a long are gr:1.ncl Monuments oftbe nobil­ity of Inusbru ck. Tile Mortuary Chapel is u little Gem. J n the court where the priest perform s the last rites be to re consigning the body to the tomb are two g rand paint­ings represent ing the reprobttion of the wicked and the g loriftcation of the just.

These p'tintings are striking nnd it would be worth coming to Jnnsbruck merely to see them. ' Ve left the procPssion at the gr:tncl entrance. At'Ler entering, the procession m<>v ed on slowly through the elo is ter towards th e eh:1pel. 'Vhat a sight greeted the eye on entering th is c ity of the de~ d. One sa w through the gothic arches of the clo ister a sig ht almost too beautiful for earth.

Over e very g rave w:o s a cross aucl each grave was li terally one ma~s ofr-lowers and cancllcs, so that one could searce ly see the crosses over the gra ves.

On a rriving a t th e chapel t he process ion sepnmtecl n.nd the Dean attended by th e rest of' the clergy entered :-tnd in a clear mell0w voi.ee intoned the" Libera," wh ich was cu nght up and rencl ercd in the g rand old Gregorian chn nt by t-he t:r;-st of the clergy.

After incensing the cemetery and sprinkling it with holy wate r the peo ple sepnmted to vi sit the graves of their rcspect i ve fri ends. Thus ended the procession of the p oo·r souls.

One year ngo,,nlthough th ere were some o r the eccle­si:lstical stud ents o f the U ui versi ty buried here, the A mericnn eecles instics hurl not the mournful tnsk ot v isit ing the grfLve of a fellow country man ancl s Lud ent~ .'

This year, howeve r, it was o ur s:-~rl duty to decorate th e g r:we o r one of the mos t exemplary and pious eccle­sh stic3 t!:t 1t ever fLtten rle j th e nni v e r~ ity of Innsbruck. I rel'e r to the late !llr. Dillon form erly a student at St. V iateur·s.

Tn hi s second yefLr here he was atbcked with n lnng affection, a.nrl from the very hegin ning of his illn e~s the Docto rs knew there was no hope of his recovery; he lingered on, however, for a few months ben ring hi s illne~s with the most heroie p:lt ience and resignation. Every morning he reeei vccl the Bread of Angels ancl prepared himself by prayer anrl t he frequ ent reception of the holy S'l.Crmn ents to meet hi s God.

But it pleased God to take him to Himsel f, and he was never to see his loved ones Again in this world, never to see the dear land of his birth. Great a{; this trial must have been for him he was never heard to murmur, never did he complain bot C>llmly resigned himse lr to the inscrutable d ecree of Providence and ·weetly breat!J­ed forth his soul into the bands of hi~ Creator, h is bst words being a prayer. His li fe was cut short, 'tis t r ue thnt life from which so much was expected but al though be did not live a long life , it w11 s long enough to gi,·e us nn

example of how we sho ul rl prepare for death . Well may the words ofHoly \Yrit be npplied to him, ,.

"Consumatus in b rev i, explevit tempora multa." Il e is buried here AS I said before in thi s beautiful Goer ncre and his grave is kept bright and green by his JoYing countrymen at J nnsbruck.

Almost one of the first trips every new Ameri can makes here is a v i it to :Jir. Dillon's grave.

On All Souls' day all the Ameritnn Eccl l:'s ir. sti cs twenty in number, visited the grave cmcl many he:trt lelt prayers were r ecited for the r P po~ e of his soul.

Hi s grave i~ disti ngui9becl by a s imple cross with th e wonls: " Here rests in tbe Lorrl, the body or p ,\trick. F. X. Dillon, theologinn of the second course. Born :lt Chenoa in America. Died F ehruary 188:3.

As long ns th ere is a sturlent at Innsbruck the brilliant example of i\lr. Dillon's virtues will be held np to him AS a model of all ecclesiast ical -,irtues ancl will inc ite him to bec•>me like Mr. Dillon, saintly and lear ner!.

Mr. Tbomns Kelley well deserves ihe title ofHisiorian o r the Sng. lie is one of the enrli est settlers coming thither when lnnd-mnrl;:s were unknown, wheH 'volves were ns thi e;k as prairie-chickens, when timber was so pl enty t hflt it had to Le felled to make room for the log­caLin.

·while at the Sng this gentl eman mnusecl us for many an honr with t!~e recital of hi s adventures in days gone by . Gifted wiLh many or the characteristics of the good and f:lithful Jrisbmen of half a century pas t he stands out as a firm believer in ghosts and ficiries.

(Jf the alJumlance o1 these to be seen around the S::tg JHr. Kelley stands forth as a li ving witness. Ile inform­ed us in npparent good faith that it was of usual occur­r ene;e to see half a dozen of tllese spectres playing tag up and down the hill-sides, amusing themselves by climb­ing trees, steali ng chickens, cutting the ta il off his best Setter, entering his barn and stealing his horses for a moonlight rid e, in fact on one occasion they leaped into his wagon when returnin g from market and ran off with the dash-board. " In fact saidl\Ir. Kell ey, they are worse than T exan cow-boys they do so mu ch mischief and Begor ! they must be from the other world."

·w ithout offering any remHrk about my belief or skep­tici sm as to the statements of this " real old Iri sh gentle­man." You will please give space in your lim1ted volumes to my trip to Sag Bridge and to my hearti est expres­sion of thanks to my old friend and one of the Alumni of St. Viateur's-Rcv. J. A . Bollman for the ex treme kindness and hospitality shown me.
