TRIBUTE TO THE MEMORYOF THEVery Rev. Father L. C. M. CHAMBODNT,FOR SO MANY YEARS THE HONORED VICAR-GENERAL OF THE DIOCESE OF GALVESTON, AND THE BELOVED PASTOR OF ST. MARY'S PARISH, BY HIS HUMBLE AND DEVOTED CHILD IN CHRIST.
Lightly tread across the chamber, Smooth the gray hair from his brow,Look upon the old man resting Sweetly from his labors now;Drape the sable pall about him, Fold the sheet in snowy bands,Place the emblem of salvation In his folded, quiet hands.Bring the waxen lights and place them At his feet and at his head,Read the solemn words above him In the service for the dead;
