" To the glory of God, and in loving memory of the deceased husband of Agnes Kelly. A.D. 1886."
Next is the window of St. Monica and St. Au- gustine, the gift of Mrs. L. Robeson. A bunch of lilies is in the little rose window, and the inscrip- tion reads :
" Daniel Augustine Robeson, died September 20, 1 869.
"Sweet Jesu, grant him and us everlasting life."
The window of St. Ann and the infant Virgin and St. Bernard, with the crown as an emblem, is the gift of Mrs. M. Howard, and is inscribed :
" In memory of Ann Martin, died March 4, 1878. "Loving Jesu, grant her eternal rest."
The window of St. Joseph and St. Patrick was placed by Patrick Farrelly and wife to the memory of their son. At the base is :
"In loving memory of Joseph Patrick Farrelly, died April 21, 1887.
" In thy mercy, Jesu, spare him and all Christian souls."
The emblem is the Sun of Justice.
The executors of the late William Nelson Wood promptly carried out the trust reposed in them by putting in the window containing the figures of St. Paul of the Cross and St. Francis de Sales with the
280

emblem of a chalice and host. The deceased is commemorated in the following :
" Merciful Jesu, spare thy servant, William Nel- son Wood, who died full of peace and hope, April 17, 1880."
The gem, perhaps, of all is the St. Cecilia in the porch, whose donor is recalled by the following :
" May God have mercy on Margaret Whelan, died May 6, 1888."
Her mother is remembered in the little window of St. Margaret, Queen of Scotland, with the words :
" In thy mercy, Jesu, grant rest and peace to Margaret Whelan."
In St. Joseph's aisle, the west side of the Church, and over the confessional, are St. John and St. Vin- cent de Paul, with the emblem of a dove bearing an olive-branch in its beak. It is the gift of Pat- rick Welsh and wife, in memory of their son :
"To the memory of John V. Welsh, died Janu- ary II, 1883, aged ten years."
With the passion-flower above is the window of St. Virgil, Bishop and Abbot of Saltzburg, and St. Brigid, of Ireland, bearing in hand the lighted lamp. This was erected by the Young Ladies' Sodality to the memory of Sister Gaudentia :
" Eternal rest grant, O Lord, to Sister Gaudentia. June II, 1884."
The other to Father Henry
" Eternal rest, O Lord, grant to Rev. Arthur J. Henry. September 6, 1880."

CHILDREN AND ROSARY SOCIETY.
The Purgatory window is the gift of Bessie Car- roll and Bridget Quinn. The Sacred Heart of Jesus is emblazoned above the figures of St. Michael and Our Lady, Comfortress of the Afflicted. The in- scription reads :
" May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen."
The School Children, in 1887, raised the money to put in the window which represents Jesus bless- ing the little ones whom the mother brings to Him. The Gospel text recalls it : " Suffer little children to come unto me. By the School Children, 1887." The symbol is a seraph.
The Rosary Society contributed the money for the beautiful window which represents Our Lady and the Divine Infant presenting the Rosary to St. Dominic.
The symbol is the dog, bearing the torch and a globe. The motive which inspired the Rosarians is embodied in the following :
"To the Queen of the Most Holy Rosary. A loving tribute from the Rosary Society, 1887. Pray for us."
Mrs. Ellen Eakely and her daughters perpetuate the memory of their relatives in the window which contains figures of St. Thomas, the Apostle, and St. Helena, with a cluster of grapes and wheat as emblems.
"In loving memory of Thomas Degan, died No- vember 4, 1887. Ellen Degan, died January 16, 1887. May they rest in peace."
James Lonergan, in affectionate remembrance of his
282
THE STORY OF A PARISH.
parents, donated the window in which St. Leo the Great and St. Rose of Lima are represented. The emblem is the Lamb and Book of seven seals. The inscription is :
" Jesu, have mercy on James Lonergan, died Janu- ary 1. 1876. Bridget Lonergan, died July 19, 1873."
The statues of St. Joseph and the Blessed Mo- ther were given by the children.
To worthily commemorate the twenty-first birth- day of his son, J. Charles Farrelly, his father en- riched the Church with the exquisite Stations of the Cross. They are painted on copper by one of the first artists in Paris, and afterwards enamelled. They are from the art-rooms of Cabane, Paris.
Miss Lizzie Daly presented the crystal candelabra on either side of the Sacred Heart Statue.
The last expression of generosity to note are the holy-water stoups, in spotless marble, the gift of Mrs. P. Farrelly for her little daughter Mary Kate.
Although the opportunity has not been given to all to mark their liberality in a conspicuous way. yet the monuments which the Catholics in Morris- town have raised to the glory of God tell in no un- certain tones of a Faith and a Charity without limit. The bounty of God has attended this generosity. He has blessed the soil in which our fathers sowed the seed of faith.
Strange as it may appear, there was not in the Diocese of Newark a single monument to perpetu- ate the memory of its first Bishop. This, coupled
283
ARCHBISHOP BAYLEY'S MEMORIAL.
with the fact that the early efforts of Bishop Bay- ley were devoted to the establishment of parish schools, and that Morristown was the first fruits of his zeal in this direction, impelled Dean Flynn to request Bishop Wigger's permission to call the School after this venerated prelate. This was unhesi- tatingly granted; and thus the name of Bayley School and Hall, attached to the group of buildings on Madison Street, will keep fresh and alive in the present and future generations the memory of the good and great Archbishop Bayley.
It may not be amiss to call attention to the fruits of the Catholic School here, and to note the names of those who have devoted themselves to the ser- vice of God as Sisters in different religious Commu- nities, or the Levites who hope one day to share the priesthood of Christ : Sister Mary John Roache upwards of thirty years ago abandoned home and friends to consecrate her life as a Sister of Mercy, in the sterile field of Bishop Byrne's Diocese of Lit- tle Rock, Arkansas; Sister Mary Louise Burke, Sis- ter Sarah Burke, Sister Severina Burke, the daughters of our venerable pioneer Thomas Burke; Sister Eusebia Baxter ; Sister Rose Roache ; Sister Murilla Mansfield ; Sister Marguerite Ryan ; Sister Gaudentia Mulhall; Sister Agnes Madeleine Daly ; Sister Jovita Cody, and Sister Paulita Morrissey, all of whom en- tered the Community of the Sisters of Charity whose Mother-house is at Madison, N. J. Some of them have been called to their reward; and the remainder

continue to exercise the duties of their vocation, instructing the little ones of Christ's fold unto jus- tice, or ministering to the sick and afflicted.
Sister Walburga Buckley and Sister Sheridan have consecrated their lives to the Negro and Indian Missions in the Franciscan Sisterhood.
Within less than two years James Mulhall, now in the Diocesan Seminary of the Immaculate Con- ception, South Orange, N. J., if it please God, will be ordained priest, and will add new joy to our parish and another jewel to our crown.
At St. Charles's College, Ellicott City, Md., two of the pupils of the Bayley School, children of this parish, Masters William Dunn and William Kelly, are pursuing their classical studies, and, it is to be hoped, will persevere in their lofty and laudable desire.
The great works, not strictly within the scope of parish efforts, but important auxiliaries to its influ- ence for good, have been marked with exceptional success.
The St. Mary's Young Men's Catholic Association has at present one hundred members. The average annual receipts during the ten years have been three thousand dollars, or a gross sum of thirty thousand dollars.
St. Columbanus Council, No. 40, Catholic Ben- evolent Legion, has a membership of one hun- dred and eleven. Since the date of its organization, October 1, 1883, to December 1, 1891, its members have paid to the Benefit fund $23,909.02, and to the
285
A CATHOLIC MAYOR.
General fund $1,597.25-a total of $23,687.27. The families of its deceased members have received as benefits $19,000.
When the new Catholic Church was building, one of the parish school-boys began life literally at the foot of the ladder. From mason's helper his ambi- tion has led him higher and higher, until now he is at the head of one of the leading firms of builders, and at present Thomas Malley fills the honorable position of Mayor of Morristown.
It may be well to supply an unintentional omis- sion, when treating of the erection of the Bayley School, to state that the entire cost was $24,820.30, and the steam plant which heats the School, Church, Rectory, and Sisters' House $4,316.27. The outlay for the new Rectory, erected on the site of the old Church, was $20,886.98.
So may the good work go on! May the blessings of the past be continued in the future; may the success which has attended the efforts of the differ- ent pastors presage the glory which will redound to God and His Church-the happiness, both in this and the next world, the reward of this generous, edifying Congregation, and for other Rectors the consolation which has filled to overflowing the heart of the present Pastor !
If in the brief span of less than half a century the harvest has been so abundant, who can estimate or foresee what another decade or two of years will bring ?
