Two large, well-equipped hospitals take care of the sick, and it is needless to say that difference of creed is no bar to admission there. An academy for young ladies and a college for young men complete a Christian education for those who are able to continue their studies. Such are the works left behind by the good Bishop. Well may we say to the inquiring stranger who asks for his monument, "Look around you!” Bishop Bradley was a many-sided man. He was primarily a churchman. The great works he accomplished were done in the order of his priestly calling. He was a man of sterling Christian character, of pure motives, of lofty ideals. Nothing small or unworthy entered into his makeup. "One felt instinctively," said an acquaintance not of his faith, "that every righteous cause would find in him a powerful champion, and every mean, self-seeking scheme would be uncompromisingly scorned." He was a man of deep spirituality. He thought and planned and labored for Eternity. His measure of any work was, "What does God think of it?" Such a rule of conduct kept him from earthly entanglements. This does not mean that he was a recluse or a mystic. Far from it. No man entered more readily into all that concerned the common good. He was ever at the beck and call of his people. "To them his heart, his love, his griefs were given, As a public speaker, Bishop Bradley graced many important occasions. He was known over all New England, and was called upon to preach in the larger cities at the consecration of bishops, at the dedication of churches, on notable anniversaries, at college commencements, and the like, and he always acquitted himself with distinction and brought honor to the See he filled. His sermons were plain, direct, forceful. His familiarity with the Holy Scripture was seen by the frequent and apt use he made of Holy Writ in his discourses. He preached the gospel undefiled. His earnest ness, his sincerity, and his great charity added unction to his words which never failed to impress his hearers. Manchester never saw, and perhaps never will see, a more magnificent funeral. All the bishops of New England, prelates from different parts of the country, and priests to the number of two hundred and fifty assembled to pay their last tribute of respect to the honored dead. Civil authorities of both state and city were there in full numbers, and thousands of his own flock, unable to gain admission to the church, hung about the sacred edifice while the last rites were being offered. Such genuine grief is seldom evinced. The tear-dimmed eyes and the choking sobs of the throng which took a last look at the beloved prelate were a tribute more eloquent than that delivered from the bight of the pulpit that day. Bishop Bradley left no personal estate, but a small sum of life insurance to be divided between two orphan nieces. He served without salary as pastor of St. Joseph's cathedral parish for more than twenty years, and asked only that the parish bury him. The Christmas offerings in the parish church were devoted to that purpose. It was his dying request that a simple Celtic cross be placed in the little plot in front of the chapel door, where the people going in and out of church would see it and offer a prayer for the repose of his soul. To comply with this last wish will be one of the first duties of his successor in office.
