In the death of Reverend Thomas Gavan Duffy in Tindivanan, India, early last month, the Church has lost a missionary priest whose apostolic efforts covered a wide range and were blessed with remarkable success. He was a hard and zealous worker, who was practical as well as far-seeing, and to him is due in great measure the development of the successful Catholic missionary technique now in vogue in the greater part of India. He was also the author of a number of books and monographs which have become classics in the field of missiology. Father Gavan Duffy was a native of Ireland, closely related to the great Irish leader, Charles Gavan Duffy, one of the founders of The Nation, who later went to Australia where his great political and literary ability made him a leader in public affairs. The late Father Thomas Gavan Duffy

THE MISSIONARY. Ye who declaim in centres large and populous, Who write of wisdom deep and the home polity, Who don the mantle or assume the toga of The sainted Thomas or pagan Demosthenes, Hark to the gently artless word by one addressed Who bears no crown of bay nor wrote a schoolman's theme, But in the uncloistered world afar has fought amain For souls who tread the path that leads to unbelief. Far westward where the cold Pacific loudly beats Against the rock-bound cliff, the lonely pastor guides His scattered flock; through many a deep canyon he seeks, Through the dark redwood glades he drives, to meet rebuff; Through fog, in cold, through rain, in heat, o'er the lost trail His duty is the Host to bear to the rude shack; His love the smiling pagan child of Faith bereft By vacillating forbears weakly sold for pelf. How meagre is his fare, his garb how worn and thin, Poor is his home, his fire is low, his meal he begs; Yet as the south wind sobs ringing the bell off-shore He hears the call to choir of old at midnight toll: Thus is he one again with those who Matins chant In havens calm, 'mid holy peace of common prayer, With pious youths in ancient Cork by famed Loch Mahon Or nigh the seagirt shrine of well-loved Donegal. Ye learned ones who strive throughout the fleeting years To plumb the vasty depths of Aquin's mighty lore, Who weigh the laws, who bind the bay unto your brows, Can ye adjudge when all is won, when life is done. For whom has the Master planned the worthier palm? For ye has been the pæan, the adulating throng; For him the sinful wanderer's prayer, the solaced soul; Wisdom divine with justice fair shall 'ward the crown. —Urban Riordan, O.M.Cap.
