tion Cardinal Gibbons stepped forward to
the front of the sanctuary In speaking he
referred to the tide of Catholics which was
continually pouring from the old world into
America, and said, 'Woe to him that would
stir up the spirit of nationalism in the lead
ers of lsraePs God and our country. Let
this be our watchword: Patriotism is viz
tue approved and sanctifed by our
heavenly Father. There is one country
we love above all Others and that is the
United States whetheri it be the land of our
birth or adoption, it matters not"
The address was patriotic in the ex-
IRENE, and would have been applauded had
it been delivered elsewhere but in the
church. After the ceremony the church
dignitarles and clergy took carriages for
st. Francis seminary, where they will
partake of a banquet.
The festivities connected with the con-
ferring of the pallium were concluded with
a banquet at ST. Francis college, attended
by all the visiting dignitaries of the church
and most of the priests of the province

vince, presented Archbishop Katzer with
an address, and large number of toas Is
were responded TO. Cardinal Gibbons
delivered an address in which he com
mented on the diversity of nations in which
the Catholic church has been established
and the unanimity with which bishops
and priests from ali over the country had
united at Milwaukee to do honor to the
distinguished prelate whom the sovereign
pontitf had placed at the head of the arch
diocese of Milwaukee, in conclusion he
said: God and country is our watch
word; next to love of God should be love
of country. The Catholic community il
the United States has been conspicuous for
It's loyalty in the past century and I'm sure
we emulate the patriotism of our fathers
in this faith. Let US glory in the title of
American citizens. Whether the United
States be the land of our birth or adoption,
it is the land of our destiny and to it we
owe allegiance" He then congratulated
the new archbishop on his elevation to his
exalted position and the latter mace an ap-
propriate response.
