II WELCOME ADDRESS.
Mas Ksuna, in het address Of welcome
On behalf of the School was exceedingly
happy, and the CARDINALS appreciation O.
ID wss very marked. 1t is 81 follows:
This happy day that brings your Emin
suce here ia q red letter day in our calen
Far. Since fret, under the auspices OF ouI
late ssintly Bishop, these walks sprung NJ
in what was then q wilderness, and the
wilderness Itself began to blrsRom as the
rose, Mont de ChsDtAl has welcomed
many distinguished guests. 1t has neySl
btfIre had t1e hCnOc and joy OF receiving
20 exalted a Prince Of the Church.
Your EmiueIc, cau imagine the thrlI
that ran through to1r score sthtOi girls
hearts when it was said to Us, ''The Cardins
il coming" What should we do? VIVA
,hould We say? We wi-hsd for the skies
ard the roses of Juns, that We might havt
zone forth and strewn your path will
roses and brought you home in veritsbl'
triumph. Your EmtnenCe, what can WI
10 or FAY, but Just crowd around you IL
the ssms loving confidence With which VI
,pproach our Own dear Bishop aud Father
lud welcome You from our heart OF hearts
To us the coming of a Cardinal is almosi
iiks a page from tie enchanted volume O
lld-world romance. 1t ia as if the hand o.
he dial Of tins had gone backward fOl
ouudreds of years. The Cardinals tbs
ruled kings aud Kingdoms, that made lis
CRY. fit Eefore US in their ;p'endor, and WI
have 10 rub oar eyes and take q long looE
,rouud us before we realize that we are II
hs yilds OF West Virginia, in this year O
lace one thousand eight hundred and
81 ghty-e'glt -;
And vet, Your f ~rinence, great az is the
charm o. ctSer days and older lands, ouI
thief interest lies with our duty, in the
laws and in the land in which God ha;
placed us. And so, to-day, We re joise most
# sli that it is our orR Cardinal who has
elme 10 us-the patriotic American citi'
IAN. a. we'll as the illustrious pralRte and
orince. We are not strong minded, Your
Emiusuce, we do not believe In female
politicians. but we have btea taught by
,ur dear nuns to love our country as vel
"a 10 love our God. Aud "a We have
heard With indignation the charge tnat
one cannot be at the ssuIe time a trne
Catholic and q true patriot, and that the
Xistsnce of q hierarchy such as our
. incompatible with the safety Of our re-
,ublican institutions, SO have we seer
with admiration that the tongues Of envy
and Islander have been SilsGced in presenc;
of your Eminence, and thst not even ths
most pr. iudiced had dared to cavil at your
definition of what was Caesars and Whit;
Gods. We love our country ardently; We
10 not forget that il is the iirstin the his
sorv IF tie wotld to make evident that the
,ontinued ex~istercs of a fee rspubl:c is
possible. And If we ssy that we love
Roue more, it is not the Rome OF tins
bigot's imagination; Eot even the Rome g
which the poet sings, but in q higher
5olier ssn,e the Country" the "cty o
an, aouI." to which ''the tXiies of TIE
5e,rt,' sill over the world, turn in hope
while waiting for that diyiner pdtrid- %
shich, in the church's own beautiful Ian
,uaye. we sirg aud for which we sigh. i
choices our hearts that while in Europt
the faith of many has wsxel cold, and the
Cnurch's worst fJeJ have been those
nominslly CT her own household, ouI
young country has morst hsn compensated
for such OBJECTIONS aud il facilities.
All! your Emiuence, il we were boys
instead of girls and what girl is there thai
lss not at sone time had that wish?) we
would Ike 10 bring back the ege q
chivalry by preaching and fighting a ne"
crusade, 10 dsliver, net Jerusalem, bat
Rome out of the hands Of the infdels,
But We are girls aud can only
wait and pray. Aud perhaps thai
mart IA no less dear to our dear Lord,
for are not our prayers and thOse Of many
far mere sanity souls being ans Eered even
aos? Since the most brilliant and most
false of historians, who, like the p-ophs;
nf old. came 10 curse aud remained To bless,
uttered his memorable psnegJIic on the
ospscy, we have seen the Holy
See put to such dire extrsmities that
oar enemies have not hesitsted
10 proclaim 10 triumph that the end had
come. But To-! Without q sword being
raised in is defense, tie scene has
changed again, and q Hsly Father,
though stripped Of his patrimony and
4 captive 10 his o En fair city, has yet
been made the arbiter Of ChristeodOm and
the recipient OF universal homage. Well
NAV we spply to His Holiness, Leo XIII,
tbs beautiful words of the prophet king;
I'm his days shall justice spring up and
abundance Of peace. The Kings Of Tharsis
aud the Islands shall offer presents; the
Kings Of the Arabians and Saba shall
bring gift. hs shall live. and to him
shall be given Of the geld Of Arabia. 10
him shall all the tribes Of the earth be
blessed
Most Of all, as tine representative o. our
Holy FstheT, we, his loyal and loving
children aud yours, Big Your E~ninence's
pattrnsl bsnediction; thank y6I foG cen'
descending to listen to Us. and bid yea q
thousand, = bundrsd thousand welcomes.
THE CARDINALS RESPONSE.
His Euinence replied at some length,
thanking the SISTERS and ths pupils for
what be designated IAN intellectual and
musical treat" and dNelling with SPECIAL
e,mmsndation on the patriotism shown in
the address. Referring 10 what Miss KsnDa
had aaid in regard to his visit, he said j;
nsel surely elicit no surprise; that 80 be
in Wheeling without coming to Mt. de
Chan,al would be like visiting Rome With.
out going to st. Petsrs, or like sightseeing
in America without g,irg TO Nisgars.
kpFopcs Of Niagara, the Cardinal compared
TIE lives Of the children 70 its waters-not
in their nOiss, bat 10 bsing smoothly flow
ing as the waters above iha falls and pure
ss the foam that rises below them
