The Late Bishop of Salford

Monsignor Gadd, the Vicar-Capitular of Salford, has recorded in a letter he has addiessed to the clergy of that diocese the ti lbute paid 'by the Jews to Dr. Bilsborrow, the late Bishop of Salford. It deserves (says the ' Catholic Times ') to be printed in letters of gold inasmuch as it not only honors the dead and the liwng but is an example of genuine charity not too frequent m this world of strife. The following is the resolution •which was passed by the synagogues of Manchester : ' The Manchester Shechita Board, consisting of representatives of twelve synagogues of this city, offers its sympathy and condolence to the Catholic community of Manchester on the severe loss it has sustained by tho demise of the Right Rev the Bishop of Salford, who for a period of eleven years so ably fulfilled the duties of his high office The Manchester Jewish community feels that the death of so eminent a prelate is a loss to the city geneiully ; and it hopes that the Common Father of all will grant consolation to their Catholic fellowciti^ens m their sorrow.'
