the church in its relations to government.
Rev. NJ. Brandt, secretary to Monsignor
Straneiro, the papal delegate, presented to
Archbishop Keadrick, the legate appointed
by the pope to bring the orders from
Rome. The first was the warrant en-
powering Archbishop Kenrick to confer
the berretta on the new cardinal and was
read by Father Foley. 1t was signed by
Cardinal Ledochowski. The second
was read by Rev. Mr.. Brandt and
was the official letter from Cardinal Le-
dochowski to Cardinal Gibbons confirming
the apostolic benediction and conferring
the new honor on him in recognition of his
| ''well-known pety. learning and zeal for
to ''stand firm and unshaken x
against the dangers threatening the
church." Monsignor Straneiro then
ADDRESSED THE ARCHBISHOP.
He referred to the investure OF Cardinal
McCloskey in New York, the first Ameri-
can cardinal, the growth of the Catholic
church in America, which had turned the
| attention of the sovereign pontiff to this
country for another cardinal, the wisdom
| and piety Of Archbishop Gibbons, the fact
| that this the twenty-ifth anniversary of
his archiepiscopate and congratulating him
on his new honor in the
church. He congratulated Archbishop
Kenrick on being delegated to
confer the berretta, and the clergy and
people there assembled and the church in
America on this evidence of the favor of
the holy pope, for whose long life he asked
those present to join him in praying. Arch
bishop Gibbons then addressed Archbishop
Kenricks, expressing his gratitude at the
selection of so old and exalted a prelate to
nnJofn fIfal
pope, and referred to the fact that he, the
speaker, was the successor of Archbishop
Kenrick's brother, Francis Patrick Ken
rick in the see of Baltimore Then turn
ing he addressed Monsignor Straneiro, ex-
pressing his deep sense of gratitude for
bringing the berretta across the ocean, and
asking him to abide here as brother and
see the growth and loyalty of the church in
America. He then turned to and addressed
the preiates, clergy and laity, thanking
them warmly for coming from places so re-
mote and in such numbers to
GRACE THIS SOLEMN CEREMONIAL.
Referring to the ancient metropolitan
see of Baltimore and its cathedral he said:
Many temples there are more spacious
and stately, indeed, than this, but none
which have seen within their sanctuaries so
many illustrious prelates. Within these
walls were held ten provincial and the three
national councilS-the councils of 1852, of
1866 and of 1884. How often has the voice of
an England, Hughes, McCloskey. Pur-
cell, Fitzpatrick, a McGill and an O'Conner
resounded here. The honor of the Cardinal
etc, therefore, he said, was not personal but
was conferred upon the ancient and holy see,
and added God raises up men in every age
to meet the emergencies of the occasion. He
has providentially raised up our present Illus
trious pontiff to meet the special wants of

bearing and fearless eloquence arrested the
march OF an all conquering warrior and
SAVED ROME FROM DES TRUCTIoN
so has the thirteenth of his great name con-
ciliated the mightiest empire of modern
times, giving back peace and liberty to the
church Of Germany. He has been the chosen
umpire between the great nations of the
Eastern world and his impartial decision,
gratefully acquieSced in by their rulers, has
hushed the clamor of strife and restored
peace and harmony. And looking still
farther East we behold two great peoples,
though without the pale of Christianity, feel
ing honored in enteri ng into direct relations
with the holy see. Never, perhaps, in the
history of the church has the moral influence
of the papacy been more strongly marked
and benefciently eXerted than during the
reign of Leo XIII. Never have the true re-
lations of church and state been more
clearly enunciated than in his ever-mem-
orable encyclical letter, 'Immortale Del"
In no country of all the nations of the earth
does he find more loyal and devoted spiritual
children then among the clergy and laiety of
this free republic, aud I am happy to add that
our separated brethren while not sharing in
our faith, have shared cur profound admira-
ton for the benevolent character and enlight-
ened craftsmanship of the present supreme
pontiff.'
