Coming to this diocese which was

localities where Catholics had yet

cpsmns was thought to be impos
sible.
His labor for education has as a
lasting monument, the Bishop Eng
land High school, an institution
which compares with any of its kind
in this country- His labor for the
sick has as a lasting monument the
magnificent infirmary', completed be
fore his death, equipped with every
thing that makes it one of the most
modern of its kind here or else
where. His labor for the poor has
as a lasting monument, the institu
tions and societies created by him
never before attempted. And it is
with the deepest sense of gratitude
that we wish to bear witness to the
fact that his labor for the Knights
of Columbus i« this city will for
ever stand as a monument to him.
With our council depleted in num
bers, exhausted in finances, and
foreshadowed by the thought of dis

largest and most a (Jive councils in
the country, and hut for him, today

the loss we have sustained, as well
as the entire community.
Therefore, be it resolved, that in
the death of our beloved Bishop
William T. Russell, this council and

expression of the love and esteem in
which Bishop Russell was held by
each member of this council and as
sembly, a blank page be inscribed
on the minute book.
And be it further resolved that a
copy of these minutes he sent to
Rt. Rev. Administrator of the Dio
