ters, Laud the Late Rev.
James Manley at Memorial
Service
(Special to The Bulletin)
WILMINGTON, N. C.—At a meet
ing attended by Catholics, Jews, and
Protestants at the New Hanover High
School it was suggested that a build
ing be constructed to house a gymna
sium and auditorium for the specific
purpose of youth and as a memorial to
the late Rev. James A. Manley.
The idea that such a building would
be the best way to carry on the work
among the boys of the city that was
started by Father Manley was offer
ed by Phil Buchheit, who for many
years was associated with the late
pastor of St. Mary’s Church in Gold
en Gloves activities.
Mr. Buchheit was one of several
speakers to memorialize the life of
Father Manley at the meeting which
was sponsored by the local Round Ta
ble of the National Conference <?f
Christians and Jews-
Bishop Thomas C. Darst, of the East
• rolina Episcopalian Diocese, in
taking “to the memory of my dear
end,” termed Father Manley a
“Happy Warrior—in the service of the
great King and Captain. In praising
the unselfishness of the beloved
priest Bishop Darst said “Father Man-
ley died for a cause—not communism
or nazism or any of the other miser
able isms of the world today—but he
died for the cause of the Kingdom of
God.”
Judge Alton A. Lennon, in praising
the work of Father Manley with the
disabled World War veterans, the de
linquents, and youth of the commun
ity, termed him a “practical idealist”
who never refused to give of his time
and talents to any cause in the com
munity. He reviewed briefly the life
of Father Manley, who was born in
1886 in West Virginia, from his ordi
nation at Belmont Abbey in 1916, un
til his death in Walter Reed Hospital,
in Washington, a few months ago.
Rabbi M. M. Thurman, who pre
sided at the meeting, in closing the
memorial service declared, “His
spirit lives on, ever enshrined, ever
sepulchered in the hearts and minds
of all of us who were blessed with
his presence. He was a priest, he
served at the altar of mankind.”
Resolutions expressing regret at the
death of Father Manley were drawn
up by the sponsors of the meeting
and were presented to the audience
by the Rev. Walter B. Freed, pastor
of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church.
Rev. Cornelius Murphy, who suc
ceeded Father Manley as pastor of
St. Mary’s Church, spoke briefly on
the work of his predecessor, with
the hope that he would be able to
live up to his example.
During the services, Carroll C.
Riddle, director of music at St. An
drews Presbyterian Church, sang
“There Is No Death,” with Mrs. Eric
Norden as accompanist.
Those who arranged the program
were Rabbi Thurman, the Rev. Mr.
Freed, Father Murphy, Mr. Buchheit,
Judge Lennon. Bishop Darst, the
Rev. C. D. Barclift, L. L. Allen, O.
C. Thomas, and W. R. Dosher.

Service in Tribute
North Carolina Priest
WILMINGTON, N. C.—At a
meeting sponsored by the local
Round Table of the National
Conference of Christians and
Jews, the following resolutions
were adopted by a rising vote:
“RESOLVED: That the local
Round Table of the National
Conference of Christians and
Jews, representing the three dom
inant religious faiths, deeply re
grets the untimely passing of
Father James A. Manley.
“His death is a distinct loss
to the religious forces of the com
munity. for through his counsel,
fellowship, and ready cooperation
he helped create a united relig
ious front, expressive of the ideals
of our common spiritual brother
hood.
“His consecrated religious ideal
ism was translated into practical
and constructive living where his
influence, understanding. and
kindliness touched other lives.
“His devotion to a sympathetic
solution of the many and complex
problems of youth endeared him
to countless boys so that his mem
ory will always remain for them
a cherished inspiration.
“We suggest that a copy of this
expression of our affection for
the late Father Manley be spread
on the minutes of the local
Round Table of the National Con
ference of Christians and Jews,
that a copy be sent to his be
reaved family, to St. Mary's Par
ish, and to the local press.
