CABLEGRAM FROM THE POPE.
AT 1880 o'clock sharp, Past Grand Presi-
dent Martin w. Fleming raped for order
and read the following cablegram from his
Holiness Pope Leo XIII:
ROME, Aug 6. 1925 P. NJ, 1890.
Archbishop Riordan, San francisco His
Holiness imparts the desired benedlcti0n TO the
REV. d. OCoNNELL,
Rector American College, Rome.
The widest applause followed the read
Ing of this important dispatch, which
showed that the Y. NJ. |. is recognized in the
Eternal City and had the Pope's benedic-
ton.
Letters of regret from Rev. Robert E.
Kenny, S. j., Rev. Fl. ImOda, S. j., Rev. P.
j. Cummings, Stephen NJ. White of Los
Angeles, and Mayor E. B. Pond were read
aloud to the large party.
All through the speaking and the re-
sponses to toasts the greatest enthusiasm
prevailed, and as happy party as could be
imagined cheered the different speakers.
OUR CHURCH.
The first sentiment, sour Church." was
responded to byVery Rev.J.J. Prendergast.
VIC. The reverend speaker was greeted
with rounds of most enthusiastic applause.
He said he had purDosed to set certain
ideas before the Y. III. 1.-some few ideas
that might, perhaps, tend to dissipate more
and more and eventually destroy the i'm
pressons regarding the Catholic Church.
There is remarkable analogy between
the church of the ages and the country to
which the Y. Nj. l. belongs. The great st.
forms of government that of Republicanism
was best. The system of Catholic Church
government he showed was similar
to that which obtains in the Gov
eminent of the United States. The
existence of the civil and religious
each other was discussed, and the conten-
ton made that in going back over the his
tory of the ages the usurpation of the
/ religious sphere by the civil was more fire.
quently met with than the usurpation of the
civil by the religious sphere.
Yet people of modern times prophesy that
in the future, unless the progress of the
Catholic Church be arrested in the United
States, the church Will overthrow the inSti-
buttons of the country. Reviewing church
history, Father Prendergast asserted that of
all its eras no two of them are alike. Who
could think thatthe glory of medieval Europe
could come out Of the chaos and anarchy
OF the previous ages; WHO could think that
the changes of the reformation age would
follow in the wake of that glory? And,
again. only prophet could have foreseen
the destruction of the Moslem hosts on one
side and the children OF Protestant ma
tions-the most enlightened of Europe
returning to the Catholic Church.
No two ages of that history were alike.
A thousand years from now the minister of
the ancient church will be seen as to-day
going forth with the cross of Christ in one
hand and the Gospel in the other; and the
glorious American republic. too, shall
stand, that the starry banner of freedom
shall be seen in every land, and then, as
now, wherever that starry flag is borne.
justice and law proceeded, and victory and
peace must follow. [Applause.l
THE PRESIDENT.
"The President of the United States"
was ably responded to by James ID. Phelan
of Institute No. So. He was cheered loudly
on rising to make his speech. No self
seeker, no despot had ever sat in the chair
of Washington, he said. When man as
pires to that highest of high offices he must
stand the test of qualities that make mems
lives as pure and honest as the sun.
1uc L icoiNcut lypluc everything lHdI

he would be defended by American men
with their lives. The patriotism expressed
around the tables. the speaker.said in con-
clusion, is not merely sentimental but
rational. These closing words evoked ap-
| plause, and the merry banqueters sang
1.-The Star-Spangled Banner" to the music
Of the orchestra.
OUR GUESTS.
Emmett Carr of the Nevada CITY Institute
| responded to the toast of "Our Guests"
| He made very modest beginning by refer
| ring to the selection of himself for the re-
| Spouse. Only five years ago he was present
Grand Council, when. only few guests
we're around the board. And now
| there are guests gathered together around
| she banquet tables from every hill and vale
In the State, and beyond that, over the
Slerras,. whence came some Of the best OF
| Nevada's sons; and further still, there
were guests from Oregon, Washington,
Montana and the British possessions, show
ing that mere geographical lines had no
power in staying the progress of the Y. M.
l. The speaker concluded by stating that
while the conventions in San Jose, Sacra-
mento, Stockton and Oakland had covered
the Y. Nj. |. of those cities with glory, San
Francisco had given them one round of
pleasure and took the cake"
William Hynes of Institute 90 sang in his
and enthusiastic calls from the banqueters.
OUR CITY.
John T. Creamy of Institute No. IS, re-
sponded to the toast "Our City," in the abb
sence of Mayor Pond. Born as he was
within the confines of the city of San Fran
cisco he said he would feel unloyal to his
native city for not saying something in its
behalf. poor proxy as he believed himself
for the Mayor.
THE YOUNG MEMS INSTITUTE.
When the name of John J. McDade, the
organizer and Past Grand President of the
Young Mems Institute. was mentioned in
connection with response to the toast.
''The Young Mems Institute" cheers upon
cheers were given. He spoke with elo-
quence and the old magnetism that has en-
deared him to the Young Mems Institute,
and was frequently interrupted by hearty
applause.
FRATERNITY.
:" Fraternity was responded to by
Justice Frank ]. Murasky. Fraternity, he
said, is one of the most important matters
now before the Young Mems Institute. as
the order is branching out into a sphere
never intended when it was organized.
This is the insurance feature. There
comes from nativity or faith, and Of
the two the latter is the greater
All featnres-insurauce, death benefits
and sick benefits-might be thrown to the
winds, but the spirit of fraternity would
remain in the Y. NJ. l., and ere long its con-
stitution would be translated into many
tongues and the society be spread over the
Catholic world.
ATLANTIC JURISDICTION.
"The Atlantic Jurisd iction" was re-
sponde to briefly but eloquently by Grand
President Jeremiah +. Sullivan He
thanked the assembled brothers for the
hon0rs they had bestowed upon him and
their forge tfulness of self in working for
the interests of the institute. He had
felt it essential that to give Catholic
young men of the East gath
ering place and bring them together
in bonds of fraternal relationship he should
go there. and he went and found the young
men there as earnest in the cause as The
brothers of the Pacific Coast. In recount
ing his experience in the East he men,
toned the name Of Archbishop Riordan,
and wild burst OF applause interrupted
him. The Atlantic jurisdiction is thing
Of beauty and would live forever.
