SKETCH OF ARCHBISHOP GIBBONS
Archbishop James Gibbons, OF Baltimore. a
primate OF the Catholic church In the United
states, Baltimore being the first see established
In this country. He is the ninth archbishop OF
baltimore In lineal succession. He was born OF
humble parentage in Baltimore on July D.
1884. His father took him 10 Ireland while
he was still child, and he received his first
education In that country. On his return he
was for some time a clerk In New Orleans His
fnclinations, however, led him 90 the PRIEST
hoou, ana he began the preparatory course OF
studies at 81. Charles college, Howard county
Maryland, from which institution he WAS
graduated in 1857. He finished his studies in
the seminary OF ST. Suipice and ST. Mary's uni.
yersity, Baltimore, and was ordained priest on
June 30, 1861. As priest he was connected
with several churches In Baltimore. He served
as assistant chancellor at the second plenary
council held In Baltimore In 1866. In 1865.
having been appointed vicar-general OF North
Carolina, he was consecrated bishop of Adra-
myttum on the 10th OF August. In 1872 he
was translated TO the see of Richmond Nir-
ginia. When Archbishop Bayley, OF Baltimore
began TO fail In health, Bishop Gibbons was APP
pointed coadjutor bishop, and consecrated
May 20, 1877. He succeeded To the
see OF Baltimore the death of
Archbishop Bayley, Oct. OF the same year.
Archbishop Gibbons presided the DELHI
erations of the third plenary council held, in
Baltimore in November 1854 apostolic del
egate OF the holy see. Cardinal McCloskey was
absent on account of sickness, but even had he
been present, Archbishop Gibbons i'm his char
acter as apostolic delegate, would have out
ranked him. Apart from his high Office ne
commands the esteem and admiration of his
fellow clergymen by reason of his splendid men,
tai gifts and high character. He has served the
church not only as a priest, but a writer. His
book, the "Faith OF Our Fathers" has received
the highest commentator from Catholic schol-
ars.
Archbishop Gibbons duties frequently bring
him TO this city, where he is grea tly beloved by
