Description:Excerpt from Eulogy on Rev. Dr. Ryder, S. J: Delivered Before the Philodemic Society of Georgetown College, D. C Gentlemen of the Philodemic Society: We have assembled to perform a solemn and imposing ceremony. The founder of our body, the venerated James Ryder, is no more. At Philadelphia, on the morning of the 12th of January, at fifteen minutes past ten o'clock, he calmly terminated his mortal career; and to-day we witnessed the offices of religion over the dead, and swelled the funeral train, as, amid the chants of holy men, it slowly passed to yonder graveyard. The profound sorrow that pervades the whole community, giving itself utterance in the tolling of sacred bells, in glowing panegyric, and in the universal gloom that we behold around us, conveys an earnest and eloquent testimony to the worth of the distinguished dead. If there be one visitation more than another trying to the heart of man; one power that sunders with relentless might the ties consecrated to the affections, that power is death. Yes, gentlemen, although the spirit be soothed by the holy consolations of faith; although we may look up to heaven, and rejoice in knowing that the just man departed mingles forevermore in the glorious hierarchy of the blessed, there is yet a pang that every heart experiences when the friend whom we devotedly loved, and the father whom we all venerated, bows a meek victim to the King of Terrors, and yields to the unkindly dust his honored body. The life of Father Ryder was passed almost entirely in official and prominent positions, and it may not on this occasion prove uninteresting to recur briefly to the principal events of that life, which, after the vicissitudes of sixty years, stands proudly forth at its close without a blemish to darken the fair picture.
